EPICA - Facade of Reality Reaction

[@wannabedane4046]

Hey Tim, This is very young Epica - Simone was 19 at the time (2004). This was recorded for the dutch TV. There is DVD - impossible/difficult to obtain called "We will take you with us". I would also recommend from this session: "Cry for the moon" and "Run for a Fall". The blonde lady in the choir is Amanda Somerville, the dark hair lady on Amanda’s right is Linda Van Summeren aka Linda Janssen (Coen’s wife). Amanda Somerville is American vocal coach, backing/choir vocals, producer. Known for her work with After Forever (Floor & Mark Jansen’’s first band) Epica (Mark Jansen, Simone Simons) Avantasia, Kamelot, and more. She was Simone voice coach.

Hi, friend! There is a remastered version of this video on the Epica channel and there is also a live version in Paradiso Amsterdam.

Hey Tim. Thanks for checking my suggestion! The audio might not be the best. If you up to, there’s a love vesrsion in Paradiso that you might like, it’s oretty old as well but with audience and I recommend you check it out. You Can do another reaction if you want, happy to see your view. Cheers!

I wrote a long comment, but now it disappeared. I don't think I put in any sensitive words, and there were no links, which usually cause comments to disappear.

[@eckligt]

Tim, do you find it in some place where it awaits approval? If not, I can repost it.

[@BearcIaw13]

I never saw it. I'm not sure why it does that. It definitely hides some comments from me which I find weird being on my videos. Sometimes it shows a comment and when I go to look there's nothing there. It's really frustrating. I'm sorry your comment disappeared.

@@BearcIaw13 Tim, I had the forethought to copy and paste a the comment into a local file, so I'm reposting it here now (next reply from me -- and if nothing shows up, it got blocked again)

[@BearcIaw13]

Damn, I'm really sorry this keeps happening. I have no idea why.

[@eckligt]

@aw13 Tim, I'm gonna do an experiment here in the thread. I'll post each sentence in a separate comment, and number them, then we'll see which ones get blocked. Following comments will be that experiment.

You need to listen to Memory from that DVD. Simone sounds like an angel.
