It's amazing how young they look! (I'm aware this is from 2003). I'm just making the comment because I'm not used to them looking this young anymore. Thanks for posting the remastered version of this awesome song!

It's because they're really young hahahaha

[@nightlystalkers]

They will look the same face though :P Simone barely aged

[@123Suffering456]

Watching bands like Epica through the time and how they've aged only reminds me how long they've been around already and have accompanied my life with their great music, so I kind of get nostalgic watching these old videos. When Design Your Own Universe came out I was still in school and listened to it every day - I still remember that now that school is long behind me.

[@Michelleosorio516]

I got introduced to Epica with Cry For The Moon when I was 18 years old, and as I kept on looking for more music from them, i fell in love with Never Enough and Quietus, but The Phantom Agony is a real anthem and of course one of the most favorite of mine, specially the Disco Version they did on their 10th year anniversary of the band, since then, i call myself a true Epican, i got the chance to see them 3 times, and of course i loved every show, such a great band! i love you guys to the moon and back!! - Red Vzla.

[@graveworm1987]

We share the same emotions. Epica is my first concert. I literally cried when the solitary ground hits me. It was a great experience. When the concert is finished me and my friend just hanging out the field and we turned back Mark and Cohen drinking "rakı" and ofc we are joined them lol. (I'm from Turkey "rakı" is alcohol) oh man you taking me back...

[@starcapture3040]

THE PHANTOM AGONY - Lyrics (I can't taste you, I can't think of you, Do we exist at all?) The future doesn't pass And the past won't overtake the present All that remains is an obsolete illusion We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony Do we dream at night Or do we share the same old fantasy? I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony The age-old development of consciousness Drives us away from the essence of life We meditate too much, so that our instincts will fade away They fade away What's the point of life And what's the meaning if we all die in the end? Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything? We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony The age-old development of consciousness Drives us away from the essence of life We meditate too much, so that our instincts will fade away They fade away Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me What we get is what we see, the phantom agony A te spiritus noster devoratur et nostra anima capitur The lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreams I am able to travel where my heart goes In search of self-realization This is the way to escape from our agitation And develop ourselves Use your illusion and enter my dream

[@starcapture3040]

@@jccasts the first 2 were too magical

[@Stocckker]

It was 2005 the first time I had the opportunity to listen to them. It was almost 2 or 3 A.M (don't remember anymore). I was watching a TV show here in Brazil called Programa do Jo (like a talk show), and when Jo told there was a band from the Netherlands that was going to play in São Paulo in a couple of days, I got very excited. When Simone started to sing like an angel my mind was just sent to heaven! haha I was completely in love with Epica by the end of that tv show! I was 17 back then. I went only in 4 concerts since then, and even though I never had the chance to meet the band, I still see myself amazed every single time I hear them. It's magical. They were (still are) very important to me because their songs helped me fight my depression. Now that I'm good, married, and with a beautiful boy, they are still my favorite band! Love these guys! Cannot wait to experience what is still to come!! Cheers!! :)

[@uflaviojs]

Parabéns por sair disso de maneira honrada meu caro. Eu cheguei perto com a morte do meu pai e dps da revolta com Slipknot foi Epica que tranquilizou às águas agitadas da minha mente. Devo muito a eles por cada letra, desde 2013 vivo e entregue!!! ❤🇧🇷

[@Stocckker]

@@uflaviojs Esse poder que a música tem sobre nós é algo que eu acho completamente maravilhoso. Que bom que você também passou por essa fase e hoje está melhor. Parabéns! Seguimos na luta, porque fácil nunca vai ser, mas juntos de quem amamos e com as músicas que amamos, fica mais fácil! :) o/
