Within Temptation - Stairway To The Skies (Lowlands 2011)

Artist: Within Temptation
Venue: Lowlands 2011
Song: Stairway To The Skies
Album: The Unforgiving
Lyrics:
Seven seconds 'til the rise
Can't believe I'm still alive
And heaven was waiting for me
I thought this would be the end
But I know you'll understand
All that is keeping me here
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
My senses tell me I have changed
But one thing still remains
I'm torn and the hate's still aching
I slowly start to realize
We won't reunite
I still have to march on through
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Is it a curse or a virtue?
Have I been blinded by regret?
Perdition awaits
My soul is at stake
Will I find a stairway to the skies in the end?
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Know that I'm only one step behind

Everytime I see Sharon I am mesemerized... she is not only beyond beautiful but her positive, sweet, and cheery personality along with her perceptiveness and intelligence with the hint of elegance and extreme talent is what makes her one of the most gorgeous goddess in all of human history.

[@northmetalandrockenthusias3771]

This song is incredible. Completely brilliant. The amazing sound from the guys and Sharons magical voice.

[@EilisLupin]

Sublime !!! J'en aie la chair de poule avec le solo de Ruud à la fin. Je n'aurais jamais pensé que cette musique donnerait aussi bien en live ! C'est Waouh !!!!! WT

1. Within Temptation is the greatest band on earth! 2. That lyrics are touching, emotional and well thought oute 3. Ruud is fucking awesome, I want to play guitar like him!!!

[@intranick]

I've always said Ruud seems like the amazing guitarist in the shadows, did anybody else notice that Sharon had to help him get out in front of his screaming fans? perhaps he's shy? either way, he's one of my favorite guitarists period. and yay for Sharon for helping him get out there and give us what we wanted, and Robert plays a part in it too, by not being zealous and heading to the back of stage allowing Ruud to have front. AMAZING.

[@Evan_Simons]

The Song is Completly Amazing.....!!!!! But This Ending In Live... Make my skin Shivers....!!!!!!

[@arimelissa5305]

Sharon, you are a goddess and this is the best Ruud' s guitar solo! I love Within Temptation!

[@wtfan18]

Ruud's solo in the end of the song is soo EPIC :) I love it.

[@CarlosGonzalez-og1eg]

...my angel is coming down from heaven to take me...

[@danielspitz9077]

Sounds like a death wish

[@jlqt5]

this is my favourite song from within temptation. the bass guitar in this song, the texture and just everything in this song is amazing. the lyrics are written really well and the words really do paint a vivid picture. this stands true for the vast majority of the album and the majority of within temptation's discography. the girl at 1:55 is pretty much my feelings towards this song; it's very difficult to put it to words.

[@TheJowMoura]

Amo demais essa MSC 💙

[@MohamedSalah-wx9qv]

Epic!

[@Sicxej88]

that's some voice! they sound very nice live

[@ImHotFuckYeah]

The girl in the 1:55 min, is feelling the beautiful and amazing music of WT :')

[@TheSparklingAngel88]

Ruud !!!! so amazing!!!! ♥

[@camiraven8986]

n.n hermosas letras , suelo escucharlos mientras leo la saga oscuros

[@Iagobon]

I love this song ❤

[@kikevillalta1]

Great ballad of this band!! i like it

[@ImHotFuckYeah]

The new drummer is completly amazing!

[@tavetviros]

Jesus Christ that solo at the end!!!!!

[@xplosivelilly]

such high quality! thank you so much i love WT :)

[@raffadc1187]

Esta canción lleva mi mente a un más de sensaciónes.

[@Records_of_spellman]

La mejor cantante

[@C00LM4N]

Люблю концертники за гитарные соло. Жаль, что редко они встречаются в студийных записях :(

[@Irinka6841]

соло на гитаре вообще супер!

[@martez307]

Wow! Increíble.

[@ChaiLatte13]

wow!!

[@GirlJulia23]

Kocham!

[@khaotic0n3]

I want them to come to Florida cuz I want to see them soooooo bad! :(

[@Mario-di9rh]

Brutal a mensagem.

[@krsnrckr9311]

nice sound . . .👍

[@leonardob.veloso]

I don't think that he's too shy as you said. In Black Symphony main show, he just was not shown more than Sharon. But I agree with you, Ruud is a great guitarrist. I love it!

[@ImHotFuckYeah]

@intranick Yes, it's impossible not to feel that way listening to this

[@OnColdWings]

@YouLookism the orchestral version is available with the new comic version. it's lovely

[@DaVzification]

@wtfan18 absolutely, he is dr.guitar after all :)

[@OnColdWings]

@SevenSecondsArise there's no need, it's on WT's official channel :D I don't see the point in posting official music videos but I do love that one.

[@user-jj2fy1kk3o]

Рууд, красивое соло

[@SevenSecondsArise]

I'm surprised you haven't posted the new music video for "Fire and Ice"... :)

[@DaVzification]

so many girls to fall in love with ...

[@intranick]

@ImHotFuckYeah ya i think that girl at 1:55 i could pick out in multiple videos from different nightwish and within temptation lowlands appearances really getting into it

[@barryhohenstein9214]

Does anyone know of them doing a US tour for 2013? I would really like to go and bring my daughter as well !!

[@menakoneko]

What happened with her voice? Beautiful song but I think something's wrong...

[@cassiemyersconcertvids]

Nothing happened as far as I know, it's just sung in a lower key than the studio version.

I played with my electro guitar Ruud Jolie's solo in this song .. if you wanna watch here it is /watch?v=NLbvGJBRPWU&feature=channel_video_title

[@Badluck161]

Great song. But most of all the pretty angel on the back screen is stealing the show!
