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

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!!!

[@thesexyskywalker3283]

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.

[@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.

[@arimelissa5305]

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

[@sandrineloeb1668]

[@Evan_Simons]

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

[@CarlosGonzalez-og1eg]

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

[@danielspitz9077]

Sounds like a death wish

[@wtfan18]

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

[@ImHotFuckYeah]

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

[@patricia119]

This song is fantastic. Within Temptation is the best.

[@waterdragon4950]

Magnum Opus 🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪 ❤️

[@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.

[@Sicxej88]

that's some voice! they sound very nice live

[@TheJowMoura]

Amo demais essa MSC 💙

[@camiraven8986]

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

[@TheSparklingAngel88]

Ruud !!!! so amazing!!!! ♥

[@C00LM4N]

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

[@tavetviros]

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

[@ImHotFuckYeah]

The new drummer is completly amazing!

[@Irinka6841]

соло на гитаре вообще супер!

[@raffadc1187]

Esta canción lleva mi mente a un más de sensaciónes.

[@khaotic0n3]

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

[@kikevillalta1]

Great ballad of this band!! i like it

[@Iagobon]

I love this song ❤

[@xplosivelilly]

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

[@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!

[@MohamedSalah-wx9qv]

Epic!

[@Records_of_spellman]

La mejor cantante

[@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.

[@martez307]

Wow! Increíble.

[@krsnrckr9311]

nice sound . . .👍

[@Mario-di9rh]

Brutal a mensagem.

[@OnColdWings]

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

[@GirlJulia23]

Kocham!

[@ImHotFuckYeah]

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

[@ChaiLatte13]

wow!!

[@DaVzification]

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

[@SevenSecondsArise]

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

[@евгенийрычков-я6х]

Рууд, красивое соло

[@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

[@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.

[@barryhohenstein9214]

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

[@DaVzification]

so many girls to fall in love with ...

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!
