And I'm from Finland. Many of us finnish folk know her because of the Gathering. Our most famous band globally is Nightwish and the Gathering and Anneke were in the middle of the 90's one the big reasons this female fronted heavymetal scene got popular. They, alongside with early 90's gothic/doom metal with this "beauty and the beast" image paved way for it. Unfortunately The Gathering didn't suit that image, but Anneke is still often mentioned as "mother" of those more famous singers.

[@PaolaZunico]

Anneke is the goddess of gothic and prog rock music ❤️

[@reijorehti2447]

There's a relation to gothic just in your fantasies.

[@rakeloslyn2931]

you have more famous and much better bands then Nightwish lmao

[@blahmcblahblah]

You want "1000 Miles Away". Then listen to the songs off this album again.

[@NAPROMAKA]

...it's obvious that an artist will experiencie in music making and it has happened with many muscicians, but that doesnt mean it has to be dissaponting. Finally she's just Anneke and not the ex the gathering....and we can appreciate she's loving what she does.

[@dormenobarulho]

Don't put words on my mouth. If Anneke wanted to keep making metal, she sure would have done it. If I was a singer, I'd feel SAD for "fans" who think I'm limited to one style and don't like to see me find my voice doing things I like, they're not MY fans, they simply like the style. If you only see "emptiness" on works like In Your Room, then go back to The Gathering. I RESPECT Anneke for being a singer who loves what she does, not as a metal singer, it's too narrow. THIS is what I've said.

[@michael-zn1wo]

This smile make my day for over 20 years.Thank you Anneke.

[@silentsecret28]

While some need to "deal with her new direction" others need to stop complaining about why people dislike the new album. It's not about"heavy stuff" vs. "pop stuff", it's about quality. And some people are clearly unhappy with the QUALITY of the songs. Anneke doesn't need everyone to like her songs, but as a long term fan, I feel the right to express my opinion and I think the point of having a "comment" option is to express it, wether you like it or not.

[@Unearthlywhales]

thank god there are still women with actual taste in the world

[@AndrewCCleverley]

Even in black and white, Anneke is a ray of light.

[@autodafeh242]

Lekker op zijn nederlands dit is zooo goed.....wat een meid!!! prachtplaatje en de track is outstanding...geimponeerd was ik na het beluistern van deze song......TOP

[@IronmanKMSA]

God I love Anneke.

[@guilhermesatoshi]

No mattter if pop,or rock... she just still amazing on her way... and i love so much this. everything is changing .. right? rs

[@werozab]

My birthday on the release of Everything is Changing! Best present ever

[@joedharma]

I agree with Franz2099 . I have been a fan of Anneke's for over 15 years and yes, the work she is doing now, while perhaps more personally fulfilling to herself to the radio, comes nowhere close to the pure musicality and emotion of what she achieved with The Gathering. That being said, this is the best song on her new album, and the best since she went solo (not including her work with Devin Townsend - which is phenomenal). In comparison, however, The Gathering continues to put out REAL music.

[@yippeethreeeight]

I never knew I needed to see Anneke playing drums in heels. Now I do.

[@ChiefFalque]

Her vocal discipline is quite awesome(especially in her collaborations with Devin Townsend). Her style is also quite good :3

[@philipzerna9654]

Anneke is an incredibly versatile singer and I've only just come across her talents recently but the one thing that makes her talent even more grand is the fact that no matter what style of music she sings in she smiles while singing ! Anneke's talent is only surpassed by her ability to smile while singing!!

[@mitvitt]

OMFG this song is tooooo short!!!!!what to do!?? put on repeat aaaargghgh!!!!ANNEKE YOU ROCK!!!!

[@darklord8603]

I love Anneke's music work so much more than the actual gathering music work. I adore you Anneke, what an artist!!!!!!!!

[@dacakrofnica2]

I can't stop falling in love with her voice

[@Ak-Bal]

a mi me gusta cualquier cosa que cante esta mina , se merece todo el respeto por su trayectoria, asique puede hacer lo que quiera

[@MrScum76]

Yeah, if it's commercial, well i have to admit that god, i love that ! Anneke and the Dev, gods among us guys !

[@garrykingmusic]

The amazing talents of Anneke Van Giersbergen a true inspirational artist, composer and performer

[@kurono1822]

I don't give a shit about what other people say, I love her music, I think her solo carrer is great and I enjoy the music...

[@JannekeGoossens]

Wait WHAT, she plays drums? Am I seeing that right??? I did not know! Oh my.... 😳😳💖👀

[@emperor5321]

I Feel Alive!

[@ConstantineStephanouLicourinos]

You should not misplace the fact the music for the Soul, is the key, instrumental guide for one to attend a masterpiece, and that song is a TOTAL masterpiece, ingenious, extraordinary and always polite and cute. Something to love for people to love

[@squeezeboxdays]

wow. ein absolutes musikalisches vorbild!

[@pavlinakanakova9386]

Boží hlas,skvělá píseň,no není co dodat,je to prostě boží!!!!!!

[@vitormpaulo]

this is to you those who r saying that is to popy or whatever you want to call it and what i want to say to u is that her voice it's even more powerful than before and i follow her since 1994 when she did appear in the gathering mandylion which i have and i've been listening this album in repeat and is not pop at all i can assure u is something completely new and by the way is marvelous

[@cutdream]

Anneke 4Ever!!!

[@ronnyderocker]

gaaf gewoon gaaf, see you tomorow!!!! WHOOHOOO!

[@Jossoef]

Rob! Rob! Rohoooooob!!! Ze zit aan je drumstel!

[@dormenobarulho]

Anneke is always looking for her own voice, but I think most people don't realize she shines everywhere, from metal to pop. A "talent wasted", to me, is a talent trapped by so-called "fans" that insist to claim their "style" is the best. To hell wth you. She SINGS, period.

[@Hughes1973Brasil]

I love this woman.

[@user-op3kr3cc9r]

Красавица с чудесным голосом!

[@killbeast00]

Hace tiempo que escuché esta canción en una radio online y me gustó. Hace 3 días la escuché en esa misma radio, y ayer mientras soñaba iba escuchando la canción. Cosas que pasan xD

[@MaxGiudice]

Anneke is very, very cute ! I love Anneke ! Perfect singer !

[@inflamerss]

+Max Giudice unique, incredible, impossible, the only, the inimitable, brilliant, bright... this nugget, which scene gave rise to only a few...

[@isktrfu]

You’re welcome. Been listening to the Gathering & Anneke for a few years now and I also like Arjen Lucassen, Devin Townsend and Anathema and Anneke has done collaborations with all of them. Actually now I'm looking forward for her next record with Devin, called Epicloud, the first one, called Addicted! is one of my favourite records.

[@djstraylight]

One of my favorite music videos, so fun! Loving the new album - The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest.

[@TrixiaDarling]

love the positive energy she brings into her music!

[@unciervoenciervado]

Reminds me of With Teeth era NIN with a poppier approach. I was addicted to this song

[@maddoxkiddo]

I'm sick of all "why/hate pop?" comments. Accept it she has changed whether you like it or not. Her amazing talent and passion for music are always there, you have the choice to keep listening or not. I think she keeps been awesome in what she makes so, up Anneke !

[@Sirnayooo]

This is what i call a One Woman Band. :D

[@user-lb1qw6gq5l]

Очень мощный бас на всём альбоме👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Primus445]

Anneke is GREAT!!!

[@Traigame2cervezas]

I just love her voice... And even if I don't know her, I think she is a great Artist with no fear to take the chance and risk it all, just for the joy of making music... There are only 2 genres for me...Music I like, music that I don't like, that's all :) Because it's just a dumb thing, don't listen to something you like just because is not rock or metal or anything it's too sad...music world it's just too big and vast, why can't we enjoy the huge talents like this woman?

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

Dear Anneke, do you realise that this song has one of the most beautiful melodies ever written? As is the same with Hurricane..... These songs stay gorgious no matter how often you hear them. And the video quality is outstanding. How does it feel at the very top? 🥂

[@frankmetal2001]

Anneke, are you an angel? See you and hear you makes me believe that there are angels walking among us....keep rocking the world pretty girl with awesome voice with amazing blue eyes!

[@jardinsombrio]

Anneke Rules!!!!!

[@letmehaveanusernamepls]

Just had the great chance of seeing her show last night in Bucharest... This show was the most sincere one i've ever experienced, and i got to plenty other shows... She's amazing, she wore this great smile on her face during the entire show. She stole my heart... I really hope to see this great woman again. Thanks, Anneke van Giersbergen, for putting heart in your shows!

[@ConstantineStephanouLicourinos]

I kind of listen to her music every day. I am almost obsessed. I do agree with you my friend that her music is unique, the style is unique, this song is soooooooo unique that can easily be paralleled to heavy classics like The Police, Annie Lennox, Kravitz, Boston, ELO and so on. It is actually the essence of her style that makes every single movement of this song such an enthusiastic experience, and above all an experience that is cathartic for the mind and upeasing for the human Soul...

[@CamilleNaiad]

The most beatiful woman i've ever meet

[@isktrfu]

I could go on and on about something Gathering-related.....But I'm having way too much fun watching this. This song rocks. And so does the video. And when I want that serious side, well the Gathering records and DVD's are still there in my recordshell. What a woman.

[@JennyWinter1697]

Annie is so amazing :) I'm glad I found her music

[@noahubelhor798]

wow she is an amazing singer.

[@towerofmadness]

GOOD LUCK ANNEKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GiudiciFrancesco]

Replay... again... again... Like !!! GREAT...Anneke

[@spiderjerusalem100]

Good music is good music, it doesn't matter if it's metal, punk, ska or pop. Her voice is still epic.

Better than be in a band with Anneke everywhere, only a life... 😊❤

[@LadyMilerna]

This should have more views

[@Hhaz48]

Sure.

[@stephanvanhelvert814]

This is the meaning of music! What a sound!

[@ghostarmor1975]

How long has it been since Anneke's choice for her own road? 4 years and a bit... Why still moan about the Gathering? People change, and when I look at the music Anneke gave us the last couple of years it is good change. Wouldn't have wanted to miss those cozy lil frail gigs.

[@NoxiousAir]

Being in key and time does not mean everything is ok; those are not the only aspects one takes care of when it comes to make music.

[@JaimeEskobar]

God I feel, I think I should be all that I can be Dude I like, I hope we can get together someday Since the stars in the sky and the clouds aligned I have realized you should Let me lead the way, oh oh Let me lead the way, oh oh Take me home Fingers crossed my obsession with you is tameable Best thing for me is to be in your grip before night falls Since the stars in the sky and the clouds aligned I have realized you should So alone Give me some kind of understanding All alone Give me even the slightest sedation Take me home Take me home Take me home

[@Traigame2cervezas]

People, let's just ignore all the comments coming from "NoxiousAir", if you want to "spam" or "dislike" his comments, do it, but don't answer. We don't want any flamewars in this video, don't be like him and show that you are mature persons that do respect other tastes in music and life. Do not feed the troll and remember, you are here for the music not to do some childish internet-fighting .

[@LibertyBell78]

Thank you Anneke for this great song!

[@thejaysatspindrift]

In UK we HAVE heard of Anneke !!! , gr8 musician and singer. I have seen her twice (once with Within Temptation), you are right ... she should be known worldwide.

[@ZuoLuoT]

She's known worldwide. Unfortunately, by too few people !

[@thejaysatspindrift]

ZuoLuoT Copy that .... their loss methinks. Amazing live performer too!! I saw the duet with Sharon, wowowowowow

[@LightGreenee]

Lots of love from Greece

[@garyclapton]

Her voice gets better and better, it doesn´t matter what style of music she sings, she breathes music! This is pop, sure, but this kind of pop is better than most of all saingle-charts-trash.

[@juninv]

Anneke, you're AWESOME! Great video, great song!

[@m15880]

She is so beautiful and her voice is poetry to my ears

[@MaroonedOY]

Yes she is, she even play the guitar with the gathering in songs like Black Light District, On most surface or acoustic ones like my electricity, with agua de annique she sometimes plays the keyboard (Wonder or Day After Yesterdey) and since her housband is drummer i supose that she learned from him (sorry for my poor english)

[@craigharrison5406]
