SIMONE SIMONS - In Love We Rust (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@NuclearBlastRecords]

Which video do you prefer Aeterna or In Love We Rust?

[@wildhoney126]

Video or song? But in any case, I choose “In love we rust”

[@mariajosecbmc4342]

It's impossible to choose because Patrick knows well what us, fans, want. He has captured Simone well ❤

[@ruipinheiro447]

In Love We Rust. It touches my soul very deeply 🥹

[@azidihaqeem7882]

This song has solo guitar ❤

[@RJA6508]

I really like the music but I prefer spotify as I dislike both videoclips. I do not see the relation to the music and see no added value.

[@CharlotteWesselsOfficial]

Who's cutting onions.... this is gorgeous!

[@simonesimonsofficial]

Thank you dear! ♥

[@ArjenALucassen]

Glad you enjoy it, Charlotte, thanks! I LOVE The Exorcism!

[@ericflick5697]

Yes so much so! Gonna get two great albums from you two awesome ladies!

[@LuisPerez-tq5nh]

@@ArjenALucassen @simonesimonsofficial You are musical geniuses, I admire you very much for your work and great talent. Epica opened my spiritual curiosity with Kingdom of Heaven I, Simone with her uplifting voice, and Arjen with your music you transport me to another world.

[@Scarlett01]

​@@LuisPerez-tq5nhcouldn't agree more!

[@nostri78]

Simone's voice and Arjen's music is like red wine and cheese - made for each other. This is awesome.

[@ArjenALucassen]

Wow... thanks for that big compliment! I like red wine and cheese, so that's a good thing :-)

[@vallaindigital]

Wait, what? Why was I not aware it was Arjen making the music on this? But now that you say that, yes I totally recognize Arjen in there ;) Totally awesome and a must!

[@Headbangeur60metal]

Who's the cheese ?

That is so good to read, Clayton, thanks!

Simone is a great singer. She has a wonderful voice.

Masterpiece from every angle, Simone beautiful, her voice beautiful, Arjen's music beautiful, lyrics beautiful... all together beautiful.

Still waiting for the day for a collab of you and Miss Charlotte..Or Miss Simons..🤷‍♂️Miss yr stuff you did with Apocalyptica...Amazing work. Dare I say, it's still up there with my favorite work of yours... But a collab with either would be beyond amazing..! Plz make it happen..!! Still waiting for that day! It HAS to happen!!

Watching Simone Simons' video feels like being caught in a spell, where beauty and talent collide. Guess I'm happily bewitched! 😏 #Spellbound #SimonsSiren

[@dangillespy3000-v3k]

Good and talented song and a beautiful voice. I am impressed.

[@christoph8333]

You know it is Simone Simons, when you see AND hear only beauty.

[@jalguno9518]

Actually not, she is getting old so badly, she used to be so beautiful and now she looks so unnatural and plastic, is difficult even to recognize her features, but her voice is still there, thanks God!

[@ImTheRealZee]

I'm in love with this woman since Sahara Dust - The Phantom Agony album ♥️

[@ericvanderheijden7278]

Those beautiful melodies from the pen of Arjen, sung by the mesmerizing Simone.....SO GREAT TO BE ALIVE IN THIS TIME AND AGE WATCHING THIS.....

[@MissJacqification]

and those lyrics🧡 Lori rules💥

That opening with the synth and the the 2nd keyboard setting in is unmistakable Arjen at work.

Que lindo. La verdad esperaba que en algún momento lanzara un trabajo solista porque la verdad se lo merece. Es una gran cantante. Y espero que le vaya mas que bien con este álbum, que por cierto esta buenísimo

All agreed, Gabriel, thanks for your kind words!

[@jonathanratliff4780]

@@ArjenALucassenDavid is right Arjen….this song is a soul wrencher on so many levels….masterpiece damn!

[@cibelecoelho]

Você é incrível, meu amorzinho! Queria poder abraça-la! Que letra profunda!

[@Malusca1000]

This song captured SImone's emotions on a deeper level that connects perfectly with the song! As a huge fan of hers and as a good observer, I dare to say that this lyric was made after her breakup with Oliver Palotai. I know she mentioned nothing on her social media, but I noticed since last year she has been divorced...since she's not been using the ring for quite some time, they don't follow each other on social media anymore and she is way thinner now. So, I bet her true feelings about the whole situation are being portrayed in this song and video!

[@gabrielleonardo3695]

This chorus gives me such a goosebump sich I haven't felt in years.

[@loudspeaker436]

They knew our eyes aren't ready to behold such beauty so close .. so they made it black and white ❤ great in every way ❤

[@ArjenALucassen]

Thanks! Hope you can make it to an Ayreon show 🙂

[@LigeiaNoire]

This is beautiful. The lyrics.. the lyrics.. Simone is a very skilful lyricist. Always poetic but not unrelatable. I knew this one was going to be closer to the heart. The video is perfect for the message. Vulnerable and stripped. Live this will be one for the ages.

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Perfectly stated my friend!

[@Divide_et_lmpera]

Doesn't it have a bit high tessitura? I love her low notes too. And like I already said elsewhere, I'm still waiting for her gorgeous headvoice. She dipped into it only a bit here. I hope she unleashed it in some other songs on the album. Imho, Epica ballads remain undefeated... Safeguard to Paradise, Trois Vierges, Tides of Time, Dreamscape, etc.

[@LigeiaNoire]

@@Divide_et_lmpera Epica showcases her range very well.

[@mariajosecbmc4342]

My favourite part is when Arjen uses synthesyzers to simulate a bleeding, slow-beating heart, after the beautiful guitars and Simone sings slowly ❤ My heart feels it deeply, as well as the final lyrics, 'I'm turning cold, I lose control'

[Verse 1] Hold my heart, it's turning cold Steady me if I lose control I'm torn between the now and then Oh, I never thought this love would end [Pre-Chorus] Promises we soon forget Angry words we still regret Every day is a brand new war But I couldn't say what we're fighting for [Chorus] In love we rust, we turn to dust In love we lie, we don't ask why In love we rust, illusions crushed In love we hide, in love we die [Verse 2] Memories so bittersweet Souls entwined, yet incomplete Holding on to a love outgrown Oh, it hurts too much to let it go [Pre-Chorus] Building walls with words unsaid Hiding from the truth we dread We once believed we had it all Now there's nothing left but for us to fall [Chorus] In love we rust, we turn to dust In love we lie, we don't ask why In love we rust, illusions crushed In love we hide, in love we die [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] In love we rust, we turn to dust In love we lie, we don't ask why In love we rust, illusions crushed In love we hide, in love we die In love we rust, we turn to dust In love we lie, we don't ask why In love we rust, illusions crushed In love we hide, in love we die [Outro] I'm turning cold, I lose control We'll soon forget, but still regret We once believed we had it all There's nothing left, we're bound to fall

In love we rust. I love engaging ballads as much as I like furious metal. The lyrics are deep and true. I loved the guitar solo. As for the video, Aeterna is more visually empowering. So both have their balance point, Simone fatal and powerful and Simone fragile and angelic. She's a great actress too.
