2024 and still coming here to hear this song all over again

[@ivanyiattila3547]

The good music is timeless.

[@YiannisS01]

I am 36 years old in a silly suit and a tie, busy life, problems like everyone and this, this is the sweetest escape. Its beautiful.....makes wanna live again

[@nicolasdubus669]

Breath and cry bro

[@hareinthewoods3923]

Take off the silly suit and tie and run free my friend! 🙏

[@IngridAbrilChristensen]

Never is late for a new beggining

[@uladzimiersmirnov3983]

Hope you are doing better.

[@Едик-ф9р]

Вперед!!!😊

[@rahziyla]

This is low-key the most depressing song I've ever heard. It's subtle: the lyrics are vague enough to apply to almost any situation, and it paints such a vivid picture of utter desolation and despair. This is not an ugly cry type of song; this is a song where the music ends, and you come back to yourself only to realize you've spent the last ten minutes lost in thought, chain-smoking, and watching the snow fall on a silent, dead landscape.

[@crotsvt4065]

очень точный анализ и душевное совпадение

[@rahziyla]

​@@crotsvt4065 Thanks. :)

[@midnight-2021]

Not only is Anneke such a very, very underrated musician and vocalist, but The Gathering band as a whole, during, pre and post Anneke, is such a very, very underrated band in its entire history and even very underrated when compared to all of the great bands that came out in the 1990s. This band influenced and inspired so many great bands and musicians.

[@andrzejperski854]

Its not Anke anylonger, she left The Gathering before this song.

[@midnight-2021]

@andrzejperski854 In my post, I clearly stated this fact that you made. Please read again!

[@dfelix007]

This song is the proof that TG wasn´t only about Anneke. PS: I love Anneke.

[@StreetDriftRacer]

The Gathering still remains as the most deep, rich, developed band to date. They are way ahead of their time. Anneke will be missed greatly, no question about it but with or without Anneke, The Gathering is still the best. I am glad they found Silje, she has such a beautiful voice! She deserves all of our support. :) Respect from Canada.

[@JuanGomez-lu2ev]

Tu usa

[@CognitiveMeanderings]

I've only recently discovered The Gathering [2019] - "Somewhere" duet with Sharon Den Adel [WT] and I was 'who was this other incredible singer?!' So I looked her up and nek minut The Gathering was my go to band. But only the Anneke years. Nothing before and nothing after. Each has their choice and that's mine. The Gathering is ok but Anneke's voice stays with me.

[@Sofia.K.CheerYT]

Some bands get attention, some bands get respect. ❤

[@ArfaofharmonyI]

Fading, falling Slow winds breaking soundscapes And waves of velvet sweeping Into me You moved all that was in my world And showed me all the new colours In my universe where storms run Falling, falling, falling, fall into me I hear echoes of my speech And I see shadows of my walk I feel the past I always look backwards Fighting, floating Tasting blood in my mouth Ancient damp painting ruins Feel the rising chill I listened to the sound of your airs We're watching stone saints fall over While the black crows will be taking to the sky Falling, falling, falling, fall into me I hear echoes of my speech And I see shadows of my walk I feel the past I always look backwards Sliding down, Oh oh (Fall into me...) My heart is drifting through all shades of green My head is thinking through meadows of the sea Lonely as I am Expanding the scene where I've never (ever) been A promise at last to call back the past To finish off with you - I'm finishing off with you Sliding down, Sliding down, Oh oh (Fall into me...) Falling, falling, falling, fall into me I hear echoes of my speech And I see shadows of my walk I feel the past I always look backwards

[@ViolinTreelet]

Such a hauntingly beautiful song. I remember it used to invoke all sorts of emotions in me many years ago. Glad I came back to it.

[@tudor666f]

Anneke will always have a place in my heart! But, with or without Anneke, this band is so creative! All my respects!!!! This song... is absolutely amazing! Incredible voice... really great vocals!

[@maksphoto78]

Thank you so much for this comment!

[@CristianSirb]

THIS SONG is from before Anneke leaving!

[@ericbic]

@@CristianSirb before? no

[@Delaecress]

Check out Octavia Sperati, Silje's og band.

[@ForeverIsTheWorld]

This is seriously one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in all my life.

[@AxelZaore]

Disclosure and The West Pole are such amazing underrated albums, 10 and 7 years later, they're still part of my all time favorites.

[@Anneke984]

Please stop comparing their voices!!!! They're both great!! I met them and Silje is a wonderful person as Anneke is.

[@Uliwulp]

This is a masterpiece. There are few songs that I find so beautiful and have such an intense effect on me. Since the first time I heard this song it has not lost any of its beauty. I still get goose bumps sometimes when I hear it.

[@MrProphetMan]

indeed, it shows mastery and maturity in creativity, composition, pace and rhythm! what an amazing piece!

[@RAMMY237]

Can't agree more, this is exactly my feeling about this song. One of my fave songs not only by The Gathering, but in the whole wide world

[@NoiseHead2]

This is pure golden!!! The song grows and grows with every new listen...

[@johandsome]

Anybody saying they could not be as good with anneke, totally wrong. Never have I been so impressed with both anneke and silje.

[@waynedunn1108]

Ive listened to the gathering before & liked there songs . When i saw the length of this i was s bit hesitant . I clicked on any way . Great song . Great vocals . I like it . Nice 👍🙂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sydney Australia 🦘 3/6/2024

[@silverdreams03]

THE GATHERING YOUR MUSIC IS TO STAY FOREVER.

[@TheHenningway]

Found this band "again" a few weeks ago. Thought they could not be that good without Anni but this song is what I loved the Gathering for in earlier times. Long, atmospheric beautiful melodies to fly away with..Silje is awesome...love her voice...

[@nicolasdubus669]

I agree. I can survive with a piece of bread, a glass of water a day and the discography of The Gathering and Massive Attack

[@CardinalKickass]

Silje has been such an asset to this band. I can understand no longer caring about these guys if you don't like their current direction, but that has nothing to do with the frontwoman, considering that they were on this path long before Anneke left. If someone feels the need to disregard them solely because Silje isn't Anneke, they are being pretty unreasonable. Anneke may be one-of-a-kind, but Silje is also pretty damn special. It is your own fault if you miss out.

[@jb-yi4di]

Well said. I totally agree

[@RAMMY237]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but this song is almost as beatiful as my fave TG songs with Anneke.

[@andrearafagrasselli]

the album Disclosure contains 5/6 fantastic songs

[@anac1519]

SO TRUE

[@MarkBlaze]

I some what have to agree.

[@mrtrashguy5111]

That was a new era for them,and it was a fresh sound for them back in time

[@nikolinaberga3412]

This song is a kaleidoscope of feelings. It's like you can hear the distance in it, some strange nostalgia, loneliness, even silence between two people, beauty and pain combined. It makes me miss someone while listening to it. And that feeling is overwhelming. That is why to me it is coloured in green, as green can be so calm and refreshing yet deep, dark and melancholic. Such a masterpiece! ♡

[@nicolasdubus669]

It seems like someone nostalgic about himself

[@craignicklin4573]

sometime music is too much one night of anathema and the gathering is more than any human can take

[@Harry_177]

Claude Lelouch - Un Homme Et Une Femme, 1966, BRAVO!!!

[@pice97]

Imagine how much stress she got when people always compare her to Anneke.

[@barbi111]

She has incredible voice, too :)

[@plofkraak6536]

Northern girls are known for their coolness. I hope she is too..

[@martinfabisik148]

@@barbi111 Beautiful women with beautiful voices made from gold.

[@maksphoto78]

Or the decidedly boring Octavia Sperati.

[@capsuleboy]

yes, but she looks ok, I didnt listen to this album yet, but people say it is quite high rated.. Also I have to admit that I love The West Pole. Such a great album.

[@slayeddreamer3820]

I can’t believe I didn’t discover this masterpiece till recently when I took a listen to the TG25 album!

[@shadiazmeh6796]

This is what i call Pure art... clip, music, voice.... everything

[@thomynochesDJ]

Me escuché esta canción recorriendo la carretera austral norte, con un temporal propio del sur de Chile...y quedé en trance, es una banda sonora para quienes conducimos intentando dejar atrás un pasado de mierda. Amor eterno a The Gathering y a Silje

[@blindnett]

What a majestic song… 2024, 38 years and this is pure magic. 🪄

[@petertoth9032]

This song, this song my friends, is easily one of the ten best rock songs ever. This song brings me feelings anytime I listen to it. This band, although on some level I feel it would not do too much good, should be praised by millions. But while it isn't, it makes us, who simply accept them as the best rock band ever, feeling special. I met all members apart from Silje and Marjolein, (well also not Bart and Niels etc), met Hans, René, Hugo, Jelmer, Frank, Anneke. All great people! I am thankful for this band, every day I listened to their song wasn't wasted.

[@ivanyiattila3547]

Egyetértek.

[@aldodavalost]

Totally agree, I know any song on youtube gets called "best song ever", but this one actually is above almost any other song in history.

[@luancaetano8628]

The Gathering is the best! Even if with Anneke's departure they are getting better and better every single day that pass. I will always love this band. And congratulations to Silje Wergeland, she's perfect

[@Celloisintheair]

This song is pefect.

[@carliiuxiiz]

This band has a soul 💖

[@RawrGabbysaurus]

No need to miss Anneke when The Gathering continues to put out music of this quality. Now we simply have them and Anneke's career both that us fans can follow, for twice the awesome. =)

[@DianavonLindenthal]

For some time I thought that "post Anneke" The Gathering was shite.... This song proved me wrong... Marvelous job on the vocals Silje! Beautiful... Truly beautiful!

[@cmiller6501]

I'll be first to admit I thought band was done after Anneke departure. I was wrong, World class singer & this track is their masterpiece!

[@willounet]

That build-up is just phenomenal. And the whole album is amazing! Kudos to the band.

[@liadz]

Man, I do love the direction The Gathering is taking. A few bands can write so many great albums and still sound fresh in every single one of them. Can't wait for the new album.

[@TheSamkerby]

This band has just been so damn amazing since I first found 'Nighttime Birds' at an import shop years ago. Living in the USA, I've had to follow them thru their website, and ordering each LP from import shops, or from the band themselves.... but always worth the cost. Up The Gathering!!!
