Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoy our first song! Oh… Simone IS the choir! About a hundred Simones I must add 😊 And the male singer Jaycee, also doubled many times. And regarding the meaning of ‘she’ in Latin: Illa can mean ‘this/that’ as a demonstrative pronoun but also ‘she’ as a personal pronoun. That first illa means THAT eternal infinite light and the second illa refers back to that light. Hope that helps, keep up the good work!

Wow! Thank you so much Arjen, I am floored that you would watch my video and comment, and I really appreciate your clarification on those points! Cannot wait for the whole album🤘🏻

@@ohacade408 You're welcome, curious to your thoughts!

I believe Simone stated in her Instagram live yesterday that she sings all the voices in the choir on this song, even the highest soprano notes. I think she pinned some parts of this live into her feed, but the chorus with the choir it's her singing the whole choir.

[@ohacade408]

Cool, thanks for pointing that out. I do see there is a backing vocalist in the credits, John Jace Cuypers, so it’s possible some parts were done by them but it definitely makes more sense knowing the choir is mostly if not all her 🤘🏻

@@mandje2002 Thanks for the correction. It’s spelled Cuypers in the description of the official video, so it must be a typo.

@@ohacade408 in Dutch his name is Cuijpers. But because the English language does not have the ij, it is often done with a y, but his official name is Cuijpers

live, Simone said that other songs from her solo album will be less similar to Ayreon and that we will also hear in her songs the influence of her most favorite band, Rammstein. this is already interesting

[@nightgoblin29]

Yesss... whatched the Simone and Arjan chat today... But I already new they like some Rammstein haha... I love how Arjan thinks this song has to be first because it is a Ayreon Epica mix and to bring all the fans together!!!!
