Within Temptation - Don’t Pray For Me (Official Music Video)

[@Astrogatito]

I was 14 when I discovered this band, now I'm 31 and still listening! Love them!

[@patrizioganda7736]

I was 58 when I discovered them. Now 67 and still they amaze me. I am going to their concert (together with Evanescence) in Berlin in December. So you see, good music is for all ages......

[@DarthVader250]

Similar story here :) I was in Primaty School (11-12) when I discovered WT and felt in love with it. Now reaching 31, wife, kids - still in love with WT!

[@ytbr3383]

Got a similar experience, their music is really a temptation 😇

[@berkedemirezen2540]

Same. I'm 31 and I was 14 when I discovered WT.

[@j.hunter33]

Almost the same.. I was 21 when I first heard them (on the Kerrang top 40 I think it was) and now I'm also 31 and still appreciating their music. Best musical decade of my life I'd say, everything before was so shallow. WT are poets and bona fide geniuses. 🙌

[@midnight-2021]

This band has been around since 1997, but hasn't ever received one Grammy nomination? Why?

[@theoriginalop]

You know why

[@oxigenarian9763]

I'm 70, grew up in the Golden Age of Rock 'n Roll and the naysayers are wrong to proclaim that today's music will never rival the classics. I love this band (my favorite); they show that today's music is still fantastic. Sharon is a deeply compassionate lyricist and this song points out the confusion and hypocrisy of organized religion. I especially like the way WT controls time and space - they are absolute masters of tempo... It's hard not to get completely caught up in their music and miss the message: "Don't pray for me" = 'your prayers are powerless' because of what the church has lost, because of what they've become...

[@arimarianne7528]

It calls to mind the “thoughts and prayers” that are sent to the families of children who have died from school s--gs, especially those offered by political figures who can actually do something about it (be it g.c. or mental health or otherwise, there is a lot we can do). Thoughts and prayers are meaningless platitudes if we do nothing to protect our children. No God will come down and fix our responsibility for us. On a more positive note, you’re right about there being incredible music today! I am not a fan of a lot of what is available today; most popular music is usually synthesized, too similar/using the same few chords, compressed, too loud, lacking in complexity or subtlety, and leaving no room for any musician but the singer to show their skills. But I am glad to be reminded that we still do have incredible artists creating magnificent music today, like these guys. Within Temptation is one of my favorites as well. Btw, have you ever heard of Type O Negative? If you love Within Temptation, they’ll probably be right down your alley.

[@oxigenarian9763]

You’re welcome! Lmk what you think. I definitely recommend starting with October Rust.

[@oxigenarian9763]

@@arimarianne7528 OK - so I listened to October Rust and this band is very talented. Their music is creative, their instrumentals are really, really good. I'm afraid I just can't connect with the vocal style. Not sure why, it's not pretentious but geared for a different taste than mine. Many thanks for the recommendation - I'm always looking for another first class symphonic metal band. :)

I'm 60 yo and deeply loved prog and rock we had back in the 70' and 80'. But here we have this beautiful band providing goog spirit, friendly behaviour, amazing and complex music with great melodies and meanings sang by the lovely Sharon.. Saw them in Paris every time they came, and their last show in november with Evanescence was incredible, Sharon was in very good health and shape. One of my favorite band since about 2005

Within Temptation is that band that you are always excited to hear new music, cause you know it will be good and their songs always have identity. I'm a fan since 2003 thanks to their song "Restless". I love you, guys! Please, come to Brazil!

[@cosminpopescu6748]

Perfectly balanced. It's heavy melodic, cinematic and you can feel the emotion in Sharon's voice. That's what you expect from Within Temptation. I wish the song was a little longer. The old and new elements are mixed together without losing the essence of what WT means. I like the message of this song which is not against faith but against oppression and crimes committed under religious pretext from antiquity to the present day.

[@lightningmonky7674]

Within Temptation never disappoints. Their music, Sharon's voice, their aesthetics, in general everything that surrounds them has had one of the most interesting evolutions not only in the metal industry, but in general among all the bands out there. Every new album, every new song is not only a love letter to their fans, but also a testament to how much they love what they do.

[@mattfathead8328]

I love Sharon's voice. Always mesmerizing!! I'm a person though who does believe in prayer and I'm struggling to understand the perspective of this song. I know of the current trend of regarding people's responses to tragedies, when they say, "I'll pray for you", as flippant, and indeed some are, but sometimes it's all we have to offer, a simple prayer for good to prevail for someone or in a situation which really is what authentic prayer is. If there be a God, it's an asking for His intervention to fight for, defend, help and minister to the person(s). I know people misuse prayer and attempt to manipulate people by saying such things as, "I'll pray you see the truth" when they really mean, "I'll pray you see it my way". But that is not authentic prayer. True prayer also realizes that I do not see everything perfectly clear and the Grace and Mercy given me also applies to them. True prayer also asks God to reveal where we are wrong.

[@Eluarelon]

I think you kinda answer the question yourself, because in the world of today, most prayers are not "authentic" like you describe it. Especially because religious people tend to confuse belief with knowledge. The churches are the pharisees of our time and I think that Jesus would dislike them as much as he did back then. I mean just look at the U.S. where a relatively small group of religious fanatics has succeeded in enforcing a legislature that goes against what the great majority of that country wants to have. And even here in Europe we have a bit of an overlap between fundamental Christians and the Alt-Right trying to enforce their thinking unto the masses and pretending to speak for the majority (ironically all the time claiming that it's not them, but the rational-thinking people trying to enforce their "ideology" unto them.) And yes, on the left, there are also people trying the same, and while I sympathize with most of their points, I absolutely don't sympathize with how they are going about it.

[@trmp9923]

She's a Satanist, that's why.

[@pheonixraven]

Struggling to understand is okay, it's apparent you are trying, and though I don't have the strength or skill to offer anything more than Elaurelon has, I can say to you: thank you for striving to understand, that's more than most get from the majority who use the phrase "pray for you", the empathy it takes to make an effort to understand is deeply valuable, please treasure that part of you, and thank you.

[@autumnforest3987]

I'm a fan of this band. And I also pray for people. I will have to say I am disappointed with the lyrics of this song. It sounds great, but sad that alot of people don't realize the depth of prayer and that there are sincere people out there who care about others and that prayer is about a relationship with God to ask him for whatever it is you're praying about for others and ourselves. Prayer is all about knowing we cant answer everything so we ask for guidance through a prayer.

[@trmp9923]

@@autumnforest3987 maybe she's just declaring her love for Lucifer with this song. I mean.. You could make a song about pretty much anything but no, you gotta focus on Christianity. This song isn't about Islam, just Christianity. We all know it.

Agree 100%. Don't get the few that say that they've gotten mainstream and such, Resist was a really great album and every other one aswell. If anything, I'd say WT has stayed metal, melodic and symphonic, true to their roots so they have a heavy sound but still evolved. I cannot ask for more.

Don't pray for me - песня невероятной атмосферности, и к тому же с хорошо заложенным смыслом. Приятно видеть, как Within Temptation после стольких лет творчества где были и эксперименты, и немного поп-музыки, и немного тяжёлого метала, - они остаются на плаву своего чётко выверенного и уникального стиля. Так классно видеть в комментариях людей самых разных национальностей, вероисповеданий и культур в соответственном единстве искусства - в порыве любви и восхищения к прекрасной певице и поэту, Шарон ден Адель, к её крутейшей и экспрессивной группе. Я не зря говорю прекрасной, потому что помимо общепризнанного таланта я вижу, что она остаётся и по сей день без всяких сомнений самой красивой, аристократичной и энергичной метал дивой современности. После такой богатой на работу и успех истории, это реально впечатляет. Мы любим тебя, Шэрон! 💐❤⚘ с самыми светлыми пожеланиями чёрной Королеве, из Беларуси 🎶🕯🪄 Сегодня наша страна находится на пороге больших потрясений и войны. Мы пережили практически революцию, которую жестоко разгромили, и не знаем что будет дальше. И хоть сегодня твоя песня, Шарон, называется "не молись за меня", я прошу о том, чтобы вы молились. Вы все здесь, кто неравнодушен - пусть вместе с нами молится за МИР на этой проклятой земле.

[@МеталВантузъархив]

@Путин Сергей Сергеевич они не блэк металлисты и нацизм не могут поддерживать, скорее всего они жертвы местного зомбоящика, который утверждает что Украина хорошая а Россия злодей, а может на них просто надавил лейбл

The consistent quality of the band over decades is impressive.

Wow, what an awesome song . Having listened to it several times now , and the ' backstory ' to the song , I feel I can totally relate to the lyrics. Within Temptation, you are without doubt a truly epic band .

[@freezvulkan3522]

Спасибо! Вы лучшие!

[@ZenarchersLair]

Sharon, and Within Temptation, are simply one of the greatest bands out there. This one cuts right to the core, end of the world urgency, triumph in the face of defeat, the only way forward is to jump off the cliff and rise. Transcendance in the abyss of chaos.

Over 30 years, but they still rock...KZbin didn't recommend it, I always search Within temptation on my free will.

[@Palindrome78]

I am in Columbus, OH right now...waiting to see WITHIN TEMPTATION LIVE! HAPPINESS!!!

[@littlequesadilla]

The song and video are absolutely brilliant! However, what I find truly intriguing and what makes my heart and soul happy are the reactions and comments I'm reading. Such positivity and a unity between your fans. Reading other's comments about how long they've listened to your music, how it's shaped their lives...it's emotional for me. I have just the right amount of happy tears right now, because I completely identify with these sentiments. I am thankful for your music. I must reiterate my first statement, this song and video alike are both impactful and striking. Bravo WT! Bravo 👏🏾

within Temptation is my favorite band, I say millions of times they are the soundtrack of my life... Winning a concert ticket and meeting the band in person would be crazy, one of the few dreams that would come true... It would be totally surreal. I love within Temptation

WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

[@jenlpoc1839]

Same. Discovered them about 2 years ago and starting asking other people if they had ever heard of them and no one had!

[@IgoZoom1]

Growing up as a gay kid in a devoutly religious (Pentecostal) family in the South was almost unbearable. Literally, I thought about ending my life every single day for most of my teen years. Thankfully, I found a few truly special people who loved me no matter what! I'm 47 now and that seems like an entirely different lifetime. But I often still hear people say "I'll pray for you" when what that they mean is "I'm judging you because you don't look/act/believe the way I think you should". It's almost like saying "Bless your heart", which sounds nice on the surface but really has a much less altruistic motive. Sharon - I love you guys so much! Your music has been one of the best things in my life for several years. Thank you!

[@AestheticInccubus]

Feel my sincere hug

[@xsirdavidianx]

Kudos for being gay, but this song isn't about that. Thanks for sharing though 👍

[@IgoZoom1]

@@xsirdavidianx The point of sharing that was to explain how "I'll pray for you" is someithing I've heard my whole life (especially when certain people learn that I'm gay). So "Don't Pray For Me" resonates very much with me.

[@dylanara315]

@@xsirdavidianx HIS POINT is that the song made him remember that dark time of his life and how he could get through it. Music is what we want it to be, the meaning we give it. If you don't see that and feel bothered when someone shares its thoughts TF are you doing in here?

It may seem crazy to have been a metalhead for 20 years and only recently discovered Within Temptation live at Hellfest 2023. I was overwhelmed by Sharon's sincerity, power, intensity and emotion, such an incarnation...such powerful, well-arranged songs. I went to the mainstage 2 out of curiosity and stayed there in awe until the end of the show. Absolutely magnificent, I've been listening to the Wireless EP over and over ever since...each of these 5 tracks takes me into a never-ending emotional whirlwind.

[@celtbhoy]

Welcome in the club.

[@Visse90]

Better late than never! :D

[@zeak166]

I am excited to see WT coming closer to its roots. The Heart of Everything vibes of this song remind me that there is a lot of potential and that WT doesn't have to sound mainstream to be relevant like they have been trying to a little too hard for the last 10 years. Congratulations, WT! Looking forward to this album

[@PatSporrerMusic77]

I agree with this 100% though The Unforgiving was a masterpiece of an album and Resist was great too. Hydra was their real tripping point for me - the songwriting was more basic and not as inspired on that record.

[@timetorelax59]

I think all WT songs and album are great no matter what style they choose

[@kendiamond85]

That is 100% exactly what I was thinking cheers

[@beckyweiss6072]

@@PatSporrerMusic77 I don't own Hydra for that reason. I am incredibly pleased to see Within Temptation leaning back towards its roots.

[@evebrown7977]

It reminds me of The Unforgiven, but it's still far away from its "roots". Whatever this means because somehow they invent themselves with every new album without losing their signature sound. The sound that lets you know, this is WT. basically, the typical Gothic metal sound of the late '90s and early/mid-2000's it's gone for very, very long. I can't really name one Gothic Metal band that stood to their roots, really.
