Danny Cavanagh: "‘Untouchable, Part 1’ was written when I lived in Norway. It's about letting go of love and moving on, even though you want to make final statement. It's a final statement of love, blessing somebody and about moving past that, but still stating how beautiful your feelings are. You can't hold on too much to somebody, you have to let them be who they are. If you really love somebody, you let them be themselves. That's the whole idea. You have to let go, if somebody is not going to feel what you want from them, you must let go. That's the story behind that one."
yep, this song hit me so hard back then for years. getting angry because not to be loved from a seemingly beautiful relationship, but in the end i can let it go and let the world do its job.
Such a lovely man and brilliant ❤️ had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times in Oslo, Norway at Rock In and his heart is big ❤️🤟 And this song is food and peace for my soul 🎶🤟😍
The first time I listened to this I was free camping with a couple of friends in a small beach in Fournous Ikaria in Greece. That summer I had broken up with my girlfriend after I don't know how many years. So I am lying on the beach, the sun had just set and we had just finished a bottle of strong tsipouro. One of my friends put this on a half dead cd player and it blew my mind. I sat there gazing at the stars and put the track on repeat till I fell asleep. Next morning I walked into town and got on the ship to go back home. The ex girlfriend turned into current wife and I couldn't be happier
To this day this song still keeps me alive after my hard breakup 14 years ago. It makes me feel sad for what happened to me but also happy that it kept me strong throughout the hardship i went against. To all of you who went thro similar life situations, I hope you are good, I hope you moved forward and I hope you are better than yesterday. I love you.
I actually sent this to her when she was moving back from UK to USA and it wasn't clear if we were going to carry on in a serious sense or not, she already had tried to pass me on to another closer lady, her reply was "why did you send this to me?" it's never been clear what the subtext of that question was but I think I will be ok, and I hope you will too :)
+İr T absolutely YES, there's something more deep that happens in you when listen to this...you can't deny it and it touches you so profoundly, and you realize you're crying and you don't know why, but it's just beautiful.
+İr T the greatest joys in life can quickly turn to the worst. it takes a special talent to express those feelings beyond what our usual communication abilities allow. then that expression hits deep, saying what we can't speak and showing what we hide.

My dog passed away exactly a year ago this past Friday. The lines: "I had to let you go To the setting sun I had to let you go And find a way back home" absolutely tore me up when I heard this song and I thought about her. I was sobbing like a baby. I had her since she was just a pup. Out of a litter of six other pups, she chose me and followed me all around my parents' farm the entire week I stayed with them. When my parents asked me if I wanted to take her, I didn't hesitate to bring her home with me. She was my hiking, walking, running friend and confidant. She helped me get through some very rough times and was always there to protect, love and comfort me and my kids. She didn't trust anyone else but me and my kids except for my girlfriend who eventually became my fiance and, now, my wife. Her loss left us all with a big, gaping hole in our home and hearts. Fortunately, she left behind a son of her own whom we still have and cherish. He's helped fill that void she left and continues to do so everyday. I'll never forget her. Thank you, Anathema, for this song. It's truly a blessing.
Years later I STILL tear up from the beauty of this song. My heart breaks a little each time (one of the 2,000 times I’ve watched this performance) but it’s such a masterpiece, I welcome the tears. Oh what I wouldn’t give to see them perform live, especially THIS. This song and performance is just perfection from the first second to the very last. Chills.
To me, listening to Anathema feels like I'm in Lotr listening to a band of elves playing music. Absolutely magical. ❤️ From the beginning in 1990 all they way to present day, the magic hasn't faded one bit. Still feels that way.
Im a devout metal metal head, and have absolutely no issue saying this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard hands down, 1st time 2nite, been metal head since 1999
I will never be thankful enough to an old friend of mine that introduced me to this song; he asked me “is there a song that has ever made you cry?” I said no and then he told me to listen to this song. I didn’t cry the first time but I fell in love with it immediately, it blew me away. I kept listening to it and eventually it happened, I broke down and cried, so hard I thought it would never stop. No song will ever compare. Thank you, my old friend, I hope you’re doing great!
I have to say... this song breaks me everytime. It is so incredible, just too much feeling, too much emotion. Without a doubt the best song by Anathema. Love this.
Whenever I hear this song I am reminded of my husband and the early days after his death. Painful, but also the beginning of healing. God, I watched this so many times, tear soaked, singing right along
Wow, this is brilliant. I'm 58 and mainly into 70's and 80's rock and this just blows me away. So much feeling, passion, energy and emotion. A masterpiece 10/10. Well done Anathema, a standing ovation from me.
what I love about anathema is the way they've transformed over the years. they were a decent metal band from the start but they've created their own genre now.. wonderful
Cette chanson m'a beaucoup aidé au moment où je venais de perdre un être chèr. Les paroles sont exactement le reflet de mes pensées. J'ai pu faire le deuil en douceur et laisser partir vers les étoile cette personne à laquelle je tenais tant. Encore un grand merci à vous, Anathema, pour cette magnifique chanson, si profonde et pleine d'Amour. Repose en paix mon oncle 😔
The whole gig but especially this song is what I call a moment of pure musical magic. I will keep coming back to this perfomance until the end of my life.
Never listened to this diamond until yesterday. My world changed forever! It's truly a masterpiece, one of those songs that you are listening to and can't help but have goosebumps all the way until the last note!
12:00 mins and I've listened to it more than 100 times. I have no words to describe how much I love this song, it's not a song. it's a feeling. something that cannot be described..it touches my soul. I wonder why this doesn't get billions of views!!!!
Always, each day I listen this song, my tears flow from my eyes... Why? Why? I don't know why... Logically, I must NOT listen this song to avoid tears... but I can't live without listen this song...
Anathema with The Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra - Live at The Ancient Theatre Of Philippopolis in Plovdiv, Bulgaria (21 September 2012). I ❤️ this band!
I am still sleepless since I started listening Anathema ...People pay mad money to heal from abusers to abusers to heal their wounds ...I pay for one cd and Anathema heals me naturally ...
They do, saw them still as a teenager when they first started to play, they are out of this world, I'm 40 now, I'm hoping I'll get to see them again :)
One of the dearest memories I'll forever carry with me is when they started playing this at a concert I was attending to. 3 seconds into the song and I couldn't hold the tears, it was just complete and overwhelmingly beautiful. This is exactly what music should be.
Ummmmmh... Ummmmmh..... Okokokojokokoj Okay....I don't know/care the exactly meaning of "goosebumps" (in Spain, spanish people say " piel de gallina" , "carne de gallina 🐓") But this song don't "elevate" my hart, don't "falls" my soul and... nothing at all about this kind of stupid things and/ or nonsenses... Fucking shit! Hajajajah jajkjajaj!!!
When the vocals start in 17 sec, and in 3min 09 sec, his singing sounds so great that "i can´t describe". Like the Jesus Christ himself would be singing to us. Vinnie is so musical and his voice is extremelly colourful and it resonates straight in to the human heart.
It is almost unbelievable what Anathema's music has become. And Vincent's voice has never been more beautiful, so open, confident and strong. It is like awakening. I grew up with them in my hardest times and it is so good to see them discovering the beauty of love and life, dropping the suffering. It is magical for me - I stopped listening to them for a while, got interested in spirituality and then one day...I decided to check what's going on with Anathema. I was positively shocked to discover that their new inspiration is Eckhart Tolle!
I can understand that you can not like the kind of music, but how is it possible to give negative evaluation to a live performace like this, with great band, great orchestra, fab scenario ... Unbelievable ... And this absolutely a really good song, so emotional!
Untouchable Part 2 05:33 Why I should feel this way? Why I should feel this way? Why I should feel the same? Is something I cannot say Something I cannot say Something I can't explain I feel you outside at the edge of my life I see you walk by at the edge of my side Why I should follow my heart? Why I should follow my heart? Why I should fall apart? Why I should follow my dreams? Why I should follow my dreams? Why I should be at peace? I feel you outside at the edge of my life I see you walk by at the edge of my side I had to let you go to the setting sun I had to let you go and find a way back home (x2) (When I dream, all I see is you When I dream, all I see is) (x2) I've never seen a light that's so bright (x3) Blinded by the light that's inside Blinded by the light that's inside Blinded by the light that's inside you I had to let you go to the setting sun I had to let you go and find a way back home
This is just one of those songs that when you start listening to it, you have to listen it all to the end. And every time after it, you feel grateful that you did. Truly a prog rock masterpiece.
#iloveyou #anathema #greatsong And I feel like I knew you before And I guess that you can hear me through this song And my love will never die And my feelings will always shine And I know that you just want me to belong to someone And I guess that now I'll just be moving on to someone But my love will never die And my feelings will always shine I'll never betray your trust I'll never betray your faith I'll never forsake your heart I'll never forget your face There's a feeling that I can't describe There's a reason that I cannot hide Because I've never seen a light that's so bright As the light that shines behind your eyes I can see This life And what you mean to me And when I dreamed I dreamed of you Then I wake Tell me what could I do? I had to let you go To the setting sun I had to let you go And find a way back home ****** Why I should feel this way? Why I should feel this way? Why I should feel the same? Is something I cannot say Is something I cannot say Is something I can't explain I feel you Outside at the edge of my life I see you Walk by at the edge of my sight Why I should follow my heart? Why I should follow my heart? Why I should fall apart? Why I should follow my dreams? Why I should follow my dreams? Why I should be at peace? I feel you Outside at the edge of my life I see you Walk by at the edge of my sight I had to let you go To the setting sun I had to let you go And find a way back home When I dream all I see is you When I dream all I see is.. I never seen a light that's so bright I never seen a light that's so bright I never seen a light that's so bright Blinded by the light that's inside Blinded by the light that's inside Blinded by the light that's inside you
Well I just saw these guys live for the first time and all I can is wow. Even though it was a small venue, they put just as much energy and feeling into their performance as they did here. They were engaging with the audience and their pure exuberance lifted everyone in the room. If you have a chance to see them, I warmly recommend it.
Deathshuck agree completely!!! I saw them live for the first time at an intimate little club in Chicago this past Wednesday night WowWowWow every soul in attendance could feel them, completely... pure emotions, raw, beautiful magic They are part of my heart forever ♡
First listened to this four years ago, I recall calling this a good song with cheesy lyrics. But now, I don't feel it's cheesy anymore, the burst of emotions and feelings towards the person was so strong and pure.
The voice of the boy is the very kick in the xxx of this group …the songs are good , the musician too ( especially the lead guitarists) …but it is his voice that brings the level one step upper
Salute to everyone that is having a moment once in a while that you end up in one of Anathema songs. And for that very limited amount of time you do enjoy your peace or live your sorrow deeply, and couple of minutes later you continue your life. No one even knows a tiny piece of the feelings and thoughts passing in your head during that tiny amount of compressed sentimental time...
