Did anyone else notice the cool bass lines?

[@FimbulvertElLobo16]

Since Epica's "Sirens - Of Blood And Water" I've been wishing to see Charlotte & Simone doing music together again. 😭😍 I've enjoyed the last singles a lot, I guess this one wont be an exception. 👌🏽✨

[@sweetynd1034]

Es hat definitiv diesen Vibe wie damals das war auch mein Gedanke

[@TrueBlue0240]

Epica and Delain were (still are, RIP old Delain) my absolute favorites and let's just say this song floods me with... Dopamine

[@audiofhigh]

Simone and Charlotte did not stop that time at "Sirens". Check out their gorgeous "Hide and Seek" cover!

[@gabrielkrypt]

Love the visuals and the fact that sisters in metal stick together and support each other in this hard industry ❤

[@Pravdacz-tp8zu]

That's what I love about metal. Unlike pop music, their artists can't afford feuding over bullshit, so they support each other instead

[@renemartens5657]

just about every metal band (especially EU ones) have 1 or more ties together Mark Jansen founder of After Forever + Epica + Mayan Floor Jansen - After Forever - Nightwish Simone Simons - Epica Floor is married to guitarist of Sabaton Simone is married to Oliver Palotai (Kamelot) Marcela Bovio (MaYaN) used to be married to Johan van Stratum who is currently the bassis of Blind Guardian and most of them have worked with Arjen Lucassen at one point (or currently still work with him with his Ayreon project)

[@capybaratalks]

@@Pravdacz-tp8zu lol, you know anything about pop music 🤣 as well as about shtstorms in metal bands

[@husseinmohammed8654]

When our legends collab 🤍😌

[@tamy7718]

Espero que ela grave vídeo oficial com a Alissa White Gluz também 🔥

[@ChipMoody]

Not a joke at Simone's expense, but...that was *epic*! Thank you Charlotte & Simone & Timo & everyone!!!

[@ericwelvaert4780]

From now on, I will listen to this song when I need some dopamine.

[@ytbr3383]

😊

[@ElRenecito]

[Verse 1] Colors don't look as bright as they used to, no Music don't feel the same as it used to, no Love is still good but not like I'm used to No one makes me feel No one makes me feel like you used to [Chorus] I need some dopamine And I need it now if I'm to keep going Dopamine, and I need it bad Feel it rushing through my head Dopamine Dopamine [Verse 2] Summer doesn't taste the same way without you, no I thought I wouldn't feel the pain without you, no Sun-kissed lips don't kiss the same no more 'Cause no one makes me feel No one makes me feel like you used to [Chorus] I need some dopamine And I need it now if I'm to keep going Dopamine, and I need it bad Feel it rushing through my head Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine [Bridge] If I could have the peace and not feel so numb I'd give my kingdom Dance and love till the rising sun I'd give my kingdom Try to remember how I melted at your touch Now I'm dying, just trying to get off [Chorus] I need some dopamine And I need it now if I'm to keep going Dopamine If I could have my peace and not feel so numb I'd give my kingdom I'd give my kingdom Dopamine We could dance and love till the morning comes I'd give my kingdom Dopamine If I could have my peace and not feel so numb I'd give my kingdom I'd give my kingdom Dopamine We could dance and love till the morning comes I'd give my kingdom I'd give my kingdom

[@tamy7718]

Charlotte é genial!!!

I can feel a dance remix coming up for this one

[@markrussell3414]

Another fantastic video from Charlotte wessels and simone simons amazing singers ❤❤❤❤🎤🎸🤘🏻💀🤘🏻to legends collide with each other🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@adrimantovani]

These two ladies together are so mesmerizing. There is so much beauty and talent. Btw, I'm really enjoying Charlotte's solo career. Very good songs

[@RammmFan]

Charlotte is hard-working bee, she is a gift to us all. Simone is also great

[@goth.photographer]

Here we gooooo! give us some Dopamine

[@SamarDevCz]

Two beautifull women, two great voices, amazing song 🤟

[@indiravivas2400]

Finally a new song from my favourite singer!!! Charlotte wessels!!! ❤👏🤘

[@manuelantonioyc9432]

addicted to it💚💚💚💚💕💕💕💕

[@rodolforsilva]

Charlotte and Simone? It sure releases a lot of dopamine in me. ♥

[@JuanFranciscoHernandezLo-zy2he]

Finally, progressive symphonic pop, what a win! ❤❤

[@nikosv95]

Nah, it's just pop. Nothing progressive or symphonic about it

[@vince300100]

@@nikosv95 Maybe not progressive but it's still a bit more ambitious than the average mainstream pop. There's some great layers and arrangements here. And it's written and produced by Charlotte alone (mainstream pop have usually like 6 writters and producers for just one song, i never understood why...).

[@nikosv95]

@@vince300100 I recognize Charlotte's efforts at being self-reliant and i think it's very admirable. But i have no idea to what you are reffering with the layers and arrangements. The song has a simplistic ABABCA pop structure. Guitars are there just to provide a simple rhythm, and the keyboards provide a simple backdrop melody . So not so differrent from a common pop song (just replace the guitars with a bass beat). The guitar lick in the bridge is somewhat interesting, but not nearly enough.

[@ArkaraValtare3729]

​@@nikosv95 thats the idea to reference pop, is a song about dopamine, that why it starts like an edm song, and thats why the video is colorful and the sound is similar to pop music, and maybe is basic compared to their other songs but not necessarily it has to be complicated and virtuous all the time, the sound and video also can speak to you about the topics they are speaking about.

[@tweeeeeak228]

"Music don't feel the same as it used to". But than in 2020 Charlotte appears and suddenly music ignites you again! 🔥Congrats for yet another killer song! 🎵🎸

[@joaopaulorodrigues3886]

I'm really loving the sonority that Charlotte is bringing in these new releases. Not to mention that the lyrics talk about a central theme of our lives right now, how the overstimulation is affecting our minds, the infinite scrolling, the huge ammount of content... it is so relevant.

[@LolesPG]

Music is life and my life is better with music like this. 🖤 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@brontiq]

It's like hundred degrees outside yet I still got chills. Awesome songs from awesome singers!

[@gijsvanrijn2524]

Wat een ontzettende vette song. Love it. Op repeat al dagen.

I didn't expect a video like this, I love it. Awesome collaboration. 🤘 Simone ❤

[@ColdboundOfficial]

!!!!!! SIMPLY DOPE !!!!!

[@rachelluna4010]

Listening to it on Spotify, this song hits hard cause this was my life for a long time. Actually quit antidepressants cold turkey, which I shouldn't have done in hindsight (don't do it like that, wean off of them kids) but I couldn't stand feeling absolutely numb about everything. Feel better with some life changes and natural remedies, but I understand that I'm not everyone and some people may feel better on them. I'm better not sleeping for 12 hours or more a day, numb to the world, and I feel like there are more like me out there. I also really liked "Your Body is a Battleground" from the Delain era, and was very disappointed to hear about all the hate you got for it, especially because it's an important message. Looking forward to the video.

[@wilfried-d.fuxbed6202]

What the f*** … great video and song 🤘🤘

[@TerryDrumCovers1951]

You ladies are the best. I love you both.

[@unclechristo]

A very more-ish song - hear it once and you want to hear it again and again!
