Ayreon - Valley Of The Queens (Ayreon Universe) 

I feel sorry for the 99.99999% of the world's population that will never hear this joyous sound.

Marcela, Anneke and Floor, singing together? Wow. Just - ... Wow.

Basically the mount rushmore of female vocalists.

9 year old daughter: Daddy, it feels like the gates of Heaven. It does.

Floor smiling with pride at the end is just so good. She's so happy.

Anneke’s voice is still perfect after all these years 🖤

NOTHING BUT JUST ANGELS SINGING !!!!!!!!!!!

So lovely of Floor at 1:57 when she acknowledges the "work" of the flute guy....

Do you guys want to hear a lie? "I didn't cry"

This is so magnificent that I don't even know where to start. The divine vocals? Marcela being an absolute BOSS at harmonizing with two different voice types? The fantastic instrumentalists? The sensitivity and flexibility that every artist on that stage performed with? I'm speechless. This is, quite possibly, one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life.

Every time Floor starts singing here, her voice feels like a tamed beast waiting to unleash. Love it.

Anneke's face in the minute 0:36 listening to Floor sing is speechless.

a line from the song, "My rose has withered, it shall never bloom again. The soil is dry, the time has come to die." This puts tears in my eyes. Such tragic beauty.

If they ever build a Valley of the Metal Queens, Floor, Anneke and Marcela all deserve a spot there.

How I wish Ayreon was embraced in America. Changed my world 20 years ago. What a fantastic thing it would be to see this as a tour in theaters or arenas in the US. We have Trans-Siberian Orchestra and that's great for a big holiday event but THIS is real world-building, epic space-time rock opera of the highest caliber! And how can anyone turn away from the lovely Anneke....an angel, she is.

The flute player is so beautifully passionate with his music

Marcela is just too humble! She only did backup singing here. She deserved a main singing role too honestly.

Die Niederlande sind heutzutage die Wiege der talentiertesten Sängerinnen der Welt! So viele fantastische Talente! 🤗

Marcela is so under appreciated. Her tone in every harmony rings most beautiful, especially in the finally chord.

This is most underrated music video in whole universe.

Floor's voice does things to me.

Great Song!Marcela, Anneke and Floor are very good!!!

Grandioos nummer. Helaas een van onze honden in moeten laten slapen en dit nummer gaf mij rust in het verwerken van het verlies.

This absolutely was one of the best nights of my life. After all these years, finally being at an Ayreon concert, and then seeing all those vocalists you've been adoring your whole life play together... I mean, Hansi Kursh, Floor Janssen, Marcela Bovio, Damian Wilson, Tommy Karevik, Anneke van Giersbergen, Jonas Renske, Maggy Luyten, and everyone I forgot. Watching this still brings tears to my eyes.

Goose bumps every time i listen to this

And that ladies and gentleman is how you get a crush on Floor Jansen...

Arjen is so good in spotting mega talented musicians, where no one is looking and binding it together on such different styles of music (cello's, flutes, electric guitars, the grandpiano... enz) to create/compose insane masterpieces.. This is the pinnacle, and somehow we managed to make 3-4 minutes crappy tracks mainstream... 3 singers, all in the category Greatest Singer ever... and one of them without a doubt the very best all time. FLoor is so extremely versatile, her range, control on belt, chest, head, If you use an autotune on her voice, It makes it worse. And that is not even a joke, because autotune corrects to land exactly on the note, and she sometimes slides into notes or intentionally start a bit higher or lower (dancing around the notes) and then always lands on the exact note. That dynamics makes her voice so outstanding. An autotune would see it as a missed note and correct it. She has complete control on everything. Ask anyone on the streets who he/she thinks is one of the best. 90 % change that the answer is "Gaga" or "Taylor Swift". So they all and Arjen for sure deserve so much more recognition. And Jeroen Goosens, naamgenoot, The flute is so magical. Also underrated I think. I grew up with a lot of Irish folk. And mastering the thin whistle or low whistle or whatever, any flute. I love it! SO beautifull!

I think this was the first concert I went to on my own. Normally I always go with some friends but somehow they didn't wanted to go this time. But for sure I didn't wanted to miss this one and so I went on my own. What an experience it was, loved it from outside the venue till the very last note of the concert!!!

I've just stumbled upon this video. There are 3 'Sirens' with angelic voices on stage right there........goosebumps......

Moves me to tears each time, this song. If these 3 angels were at the gates of Heaven, I'd happily die right now.

Floor has the best voice ever

Hallo All, 💣💥Joyus, crying? It literally took my breath 😲 , neither knowing this song, nor them three queens singing it, singing together at all! I must have been walled under a pyramid! ⛰ Oh how beautiful... Greetings from Germany and parkinson's sucks 🤗⚘and EMPPU RULES 😎

My musical hero Jeroen Goossens, playing one instrument while holding the other under his arm.

52 dislikes jeez,they must hearts of stone,this is an absolute eargasm,all 3 singers at the top of there game,WOW.

Watching Floor and Anneke at the same stage already blew my mind and makes one of my dream come true, Two of female singers that I adore with the most. let alone they also bring another one with Marcela in it,,, I'm dying!

My soul just left my body as it shivers in pure bliss and melancholy over this mystical opus of Arjen! Pure art. And sung by 3 of the FINEST femme vocalist in metal made it even doubly ethereal!

Such a beautiful song and angelic voices. Hard not to cry. Impossible. That's pure beauty of great music.

I can't listen to this song without being stirred on the deepest levels. There is something so perfect about it that it resonates with my soul every single time. I was a soldier stationed in Afghanistan when I first discovered Ayreon and today 10 years later I woke up craving this song. The lyrics are brilliantly heart-wrenching while the vocals and instruments bring it to life. This reminds me of how beautiful humanity can be when we come together. 🥲 We need these reminders. ❤

the 2 times I've seen ayreon live were 2 of the best concert I've ever went to.

EGYPTIAN: My journey's over I'm standing on the edge And close my eyes To this world of lies My will is broken It's the end of all my dreams My soul yearns For the valley of the queens My rose has withered It will never bloom again The soil is dry Time has come to die My faith has left me They have stolen all my dreams Oh lay me down In the valley of the queens My search has ended My name is carved in stone On the temple wall Beyond Osiris' hall No holy sunrays Will light my tomb of dreams I won't return From the valley of... the queens

Who can dislike this beautiful piece of art? Heartless people indeed cause this is perfect

The part where no holy sun rays will light my tomb of dreams always gets me.

I can't remember ever hearing anything so haunting beautiful. My heart feels rent open and all I can do is sit and weep.

it's unfair that some people are this talented, but at least they share their talents with the rest of us mere mortals...

Arjen sometimes even out does himself. So much incredible talent in ONE SONG.

I can't wait to hear Marcela sing the theory of everything. She's waaaay too good to be just a backup singer

This is as close to completely pure music as we will ever get. Pure beauty from beginning to end.

It takes a lot for me to get teared up and this is a lot.

I love you, Floor.

Get well soon Marcela!

We need an hour loop of this! Marcela's harmonisations are out of this world.

Everyone probably heard the audience applauding Jeroen Goossens (the flute player) at 1:30, but I suppose many people thought it was a spontaneous applause. In fact, Floor Jansen makes a gesture to the audience, where she is pointing at Jeroen, asking them to acknowledge his skill at 1:29. It's cool to see the respect these artists have for each other. Floor's smile at Jeroen at 1:57 is considerably more noticeable in the video.

Why Am I always Crying when I listening to this masterpiece , Arjen?!

Fantastic ! Floor is awesome like always,but Anneke an Marcela in fantastic too. Beautiful voices....

Why I didn't know about this 😔,but happy I found it 😁😁😁

When my 12-year-old son heard this, he said, "Dad, this is three angels singing..."

Thank you Arjen Anthony Lukassen for the music many hugs from sweden (norrköping)

This gives me goosebumps so hard my skin actually hurts...

I can't put any one of them above the other - they complement eachother so well in this performance, though I just can't get why there's always someone cutting major onions everytime I watch and hear this... well, I can. It's so beautiful my goosebumps are getting goosebumps.

the forgotten star is that flute player

Thank you Arjen for gathering these angels! 🙏🙏

Although pretty much every Ayreon song is at least good, this is imo one of the best.

The Beautiful..... Floor Jansen ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Omg! How I never watched that video before? Completely amazing! Three Princess with Angel voices 😍🫶

This song will be played at my funeral

There is nothing like listening to this song again to rediscover yourself. I do it once a year at least

This is The Definite version of the song! The mix of all three very distinct voices, and that last chord just makes me cry! But the Electric Castle Live version is also very cool.

Amazing Dianne!!! You are the Best voice!!! What a pity from... Well, You know👍💕

This is way beyond beautiful. Can't. Stop. Listening!

Marcela orgullo mexicano. Ojalá fuera mas reconocidada en su propio país.

Music has funny powers. Such a sad song has really cheered up my day

Can't wait to have a piece of this awesomeness delivered in my postbox. Lucky people, everyone who attended one of these events.

We all know that Arjen did a MAJOR flex with these queens singing this one. And we are all very much thankfull 😊

My eyes and ears just died and went to heaven.

Three angel voices. . .

this is just magic

I always cry when listening to this song. Just simple pure perfection.

Beautiful.

This song will play on my funeral, if i can help it😉
