Tristania - December Elegy

Video (live), taken from an official VHS recorded in Oberwart, Austria, 1999.
Lyric:
May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven
Breed my night like tears of sorrow
Creep with life the days that morrow
Thee scent like snow
I find thy lilies there of snow
Where once I died... weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee...
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life
Breed my night with thy sorrow
Examinate this pain like snow
Driven far from my efferly loss
Enter this extended night of sorrow,
Pain, flowing tears...
Breed my woe
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life... like thousand
Frozen tears
Come melt the ice... maytime...

how I miss the good old Tristania...

[@carlorivero8400]

😪😪😪

[@moricesotto8233]

Todos...

[@sambell385]

This is an incredible band! Love them

[@samueldouradocosta9486]

lineup 1999: Vibeke Stene - Vocals Morten Veland - Vocals/Guitar Anders H. Hidle - Guitar and vocals Rune Østerhus - Bass Einar Moen - Keyboard Kenneth Olsson - Drums

[@vanessaweber]

the thing i love about tristania is how beautiful the atmospheres of the music is. they kinda lost it with their recent stuff...but Widow's Weeds, Beyond the Veil, and World of Glass are extroradinary. Also, their lyrics are so poetic and beautiful...sometimes reminding me of Edgar Allen Poe...with their own style. Vibeke is unique...very distinct and Morten kicks ass

[@sambell385]

I think the world of glass is the best album they ever made I don’t like the older stuff as much because that beautiful voice was not there to balance it out, i’m not a 100% growl guy, I need that beautiful voice to balance out and blend with it the amount of growl tristania does i can tolerate , atleast on the word of glass album

[@cicerojoceilton]

Nao canso de ouvir toda ve venho aqui ver o video Vibeke 3

[@ShretteMarte]

At the end her voice is so darkly emotional that it almost reduces me to tears.

[@dunkel-zombi_fiziert-heit]

really: i know that feel so well!

[@MirandaAzazel666]

The enchantress herself... I really miss the old Tristania, Morten Veland was a GENIUS!

[@manoelcarlos1253]

Uma das mais lindas de Tristania

[@G281088]

6:15 6:17 How its possible not to love this beautiful face and the angelical voice caming out of her mouth?

[@rockeer73]

no se si Vibeke sera soprano, mezzosoprano o q, pero ese canto viene del alma y como me hace fluir la sangre en un movimiento d alivio, inexplicable. Una verdadera belleza q solo queda en el recuerdo ahora...

[@edwingionzago]

Brilliant. The one and only!!!!! st love How i miss her voice and the band as a whole. Nothing can replace. Just love it.

[@cicerojoceilton]

Estou aqui ouvindo a noite como é bom é um descanço para a mente e um pouco de alivio pra alma

[@manoelcarlos1253]

Concordo plenamente.

[@geisavaleria6295]

Essa Era,um tipo de ultra romantismo que atinge o íntimo de nossas almas.

[@FemaleMetalLover]

Yes!...I was reading The Kite Runner same time as I listened to December Elegy and my eyes became oceans!

[@ThammyBroflovski]

¡Por Dios! el canto y el ritmo te llegan al alma...fenomenal, como quisiera que otra vez esten juntos

[@WhereRainDiesthLight]

This must the most beautiful thing I've ever seen... Vibeke, you'll always be my inpiration.

[@mohamadisnainirozaq9125]

aku sangat suka lagu ini vibeke suaramu merdu.

[@craik7]

This is my favorite Tristania song.

[@hendrikarena4336]

Very good

[@israelacosta261]

Dios mio cuanto te extrañamos Vibeke Stene nadie se compara contigo. i lov u.....

[@ViniciusPedreira]

Unbeatable formation. Vibeke Stene will always be on first place of metal feminine vocals. Miss that time.

[@Mechanical999Crist]

Vibeke é a ALMA DO TRISTANIA

[@manoelcarlos1253]

Ela é maravilhosa

[@olaelisia8586]

I love this song

[@alessandropassador4370]

Che creatura meravigliosa Vibeke!

[@Tristanium1977]

In my opinion is Sirenia at this moment more Tristania then Tristania self. Widows weeds was the best album Tristania has made. When i listen to the album " at sixes and sevens" it reminds me of the old Tristania.

[@sator666666]

My favorite band and song.

[@ooochooleera6570]

Angel voice. Love you forever.

[@FemaleMetalLover]

Love the last part in this song! Its so Beautiful and Painfull in the same way!..Its like someone is dying and saying good bye to his love ones! :P

[@EmperorOfTwilight]

I agree with you. It was another style of music in the old times. I really like Vibeke's dress and her moves in this concert (especially when they play "Evenfall").

[@hosungkim9514]

I think I begin to love Vibeke.

[@dunkel-zombi_fiziert-heit]

who doesnt??? ;)

[@devox3328]

Nothing but a pure tristania who gives you the painful therapy you need"

[@lamorgue23]

Siento que me da un orgasmo nadmas de escuchar las voces que clase de musica excelente me transfiero a otro mundoo

[@simonasakic7412]

This is great, but still, I'll always regret the fact that they did not make a better live recording later, with more experience and better sound quality.

[@manoelcarlos1253]

Lembranças maravilhosas.

[@MyDarkSurrender]

This is one of my favorite songs: powerfully evocative and eerily beautiful....

[@dunkel-zombi_fiziert-heit]

how i always LOVED vibekes whispers... breath taking voice. "DESCENT LIKE SNOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW" \m/ i miss the good old times and vibeke... --

[@ElleBeatrix4991]

Vibeke's moves are great, so gentle and creepy and the same time!

[@luismiguelrodrigues4691]

O gutural do morten junto com o anders era sensacional

[@petermoss7505]

Beautiful, haunting, sublime

[@misterschmidt9824]

Too much memories...ever and ever again!

[@misterschmidt9824]

Still.

[@misterschmidt9824]

As I said...every winter. So intense...

[@jackborsatti]

The best ever Tristania line-up !

[@670pppp]

Um conforto pra alma!

[@icaropinto1334]

Beautiful....

[@camiloosorio3872]

de la mejor música que he escuchado en mi vida...

[@xh7385]

Will thou carry me to the sea.

[@diegoqmp84]

Truly sad to watch this, as we know deep inside it won't happen ever again. So sad. :(

[@Escapist1st]

I totally agree with you My favourite album is Beyond the Veil because of that atmosphere that maybe is not so present in Illumination, but I still like it. But now I think they won't be able to create that atmosphere anymore, Vibeke was so magic and dark at stage... T_T

[@DanHar84]

Should also consider Draconian’s Epic Album: Arcane Rain Fell

[@julima6491]

Vibeke ❤️

[@israelacosta261]

Wow Los mejores tiempos 😢

[@hermanessences]

@gotblu2 It was obviously Einar and Anders, at least if Morten is telling the truth. He said those 2 wanted to take over the songwriting in the band, which E and A did, and Østen didn't become a full member either until a while afterwards. Morten also stayed friends with Kenneth and Rune... As for Vibeke... Maybe some love drama? There's almost always something like that in bands with different genders, I guarantee you. xD

[@ubaldo86]

Yes!!!! I agree!! that part is... excellent... Vibeke is awesome

[@SaymonAlbuquerquefreitas88]

December Elegy very good!

[@vicious5115]

gorgeous

[@samueldouradocosta9486]

loves songs.

[@leandrodealmeidasilva8899]

o meio da música expressa uma beleza sublime!

[@lenayth]

Vibeke era tudo no tristania, depois de sua saida não curto mais a banda, para mim a banda acabou sem vibeke stene. Vibeke forever!

[@pyansofianmardi7787]

Vibeke es la mas grande vocalista del Gothic Metal, es la mejor. Es lo peor que hizo Tristania al sustituirla. Tristania ya no es sin ella.

[@ThammyBroflovski]

pyan sofian mardi estoy totalmente de acuerdo, sin ella se acabó

[@tristaniavaldez9403]

Ella se fue, pero si concuerdo que es la mejor cantante de este genero.

[@erikkorabsky9014]

2017 still the best ))

[@NaturReise]

Masterpiece.

[@alessandropassador4370]

Vibeke, sei speciale!

[@carlorivero8400]

Amo a Vibeke❤️ Adoro su Danza 😍

[@humbertomayoral1731]

Simplemente hermoso''

[@Michael.A.O90]

exelente cancion para una exelentisima banda , amor ser gotic

[@samlovesjojo]

That's the real Tristania right there. The current lineup and the current music they play is crap.

[@cantryairmansyah]

love it

[@VincentWo]

Very great song !!! Vibeke, where are you ???

[@dunkel-zombi_fiziert-heit]

Vibeke Dance

[@stormblast1111]

@partyka293 search for the Midwinter Tears CD, it comes with a DVD that contains the whole widows tour. available on Amazon, for example.

[@samueldouradocosta9486]

minha música favorita.

[@JoniLahdesmaki]

i'm quite sure it is "Exsanquine this pain like snow", not examinate. :) I quite like that word, exsanquine.

[@Tristanium1977]

That's 4 sure. Nobody can replace her ... Sirenia is much better than Tristania at this moment.

[@h3llisah]

♥

[@andreldfc]

SO DO I!!!

[@luciacapone1010]

Ritorna Vibeke!!!!!!

[@Darthboris]

@Mayhamsdead Are all those thumbs up from people who do not want the real Tristania back???? If so....shame on them

[@PiKaStRo]

Widows Weeds is their best cd, great!

[@williamcamargo7247]

I hearded them in Brazil !!

[@tristaniavaldez9403]

Sos un Amor, ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Axxess7777]

@pitzart Well, their split is not without its bright side. Now, every time I need a good emetic, I can always turn to the latest albums of Sirenia. Works like a charm.

[@sebastianramos9742]

Essa vos e única 😘😍

[@edwincardona1916]

mi corazon muere aqui mi alma en la noche escarlata entona su despedida

[@Mayhamsdead]

Who DOESN'T want the real Tristania back?...

[@diegoqmp84]

Ditto. I KNOW it was Vibeke the one who'd chosen to leave the band, but - where's the lyricism of the old Tristania now!? Mary is fine, but doesn't fit in...

[@sandro07warrior]

Vibeke!!!! My Eternal Goddess!!!

[@presidentenssm]

@RedRainbowItaly you got a point there.. draconian is now the leading gothicband.

[@iago2214]
