EPICA - Solitary Ground (Official video - HD remastered) 

You know you’re getting old when the songs you used to listen to are getting remastered

This song is about someone that eagered for adventure, for new things and was fed up. She left her home, forgeted her family and friends and left. Years passed and the woman is tired and wants to find "solid ground" sth permanent were she can built her life once again. She understands that she is homesick and that she has to go back to her home where she truly belongs though she blames herself for being tired as "all lay ahead" or even saying to herself "burning the bridges will not bring me back" like blaming herself for ruining her chances to move further on by getting tired and homesick. It is some sort of feeling she betrayed her people leaving them or doubting them even now as she isn't sure if her return eill fulfill her, full of guilt. She tries to deny her roots but realises that the places she searches for is "in her" in her memories, thus her childhood home. However having abandoned the ones that love her and spending so many years away she wonders if she can really come back. She is afraid that they won't accept her or even that she is unable to root somewhere as she has traveled too much and is afraid that the best place for her may be somwhere else. She is fighting with herself, her doubts(where is the place, the sanctity I am looking for, what if I am mistaken?)desires (she craves for her return to a place she belong )guilt and fatigue feeling that she wants to go back but isn't sure if she can... Dramatic and so intense I can imagine a person like that, or even myself...So tragic yet so magical! Awsome song deep meaning!

My favorite "soft" song from Epica. I swear, metal bands make the most beautiful ballads!

Living at different places Evading into various spaces My compass has broken; I'm losing the way An ongoing madness has led me astray My past breathes down my neck And it seems now that all I can do is Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead A fading illusion now plagues me instead In me there's still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here that I call home and run to when winter descends If I try can I find solid ground I follow elusive paths Oh it seems they've been written in stone And the door to a new life is closing so fast Burning the bridges will not bring me back In me there's still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here that I call home and run to When winter descends, If I try can I find solid ground I know that in me there still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here, that I call home and run to When winter descends If I try can I find solid ground Or am I just wasting time?

One of the soundtracks of our life... Everyone should have a spiritual place dedicated to our Lord and follow the example of santity... Hugs for all !!!

Dujunou... We r bouring the same day. 😅 The best of... January

Dá até um arrepio 🥹

Epica you were a spark that became a whole starry sky.

This voice,this face.....Simone's my fave dark angel of metal.💜🤘

SEE KIDS THIS IS WHAT REAL MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE

When I saw them in Sheffield in 2012 I saw their tour bus outside the Leadmill , with the South American mascot from this song in the front window. Great to see. This is my favourite Metal Balad of all times. Except if you didn't know Epica and heard this you wouldn't know they were a Symphonic Metal Band at all. There is one thing that gives it away. And that's the look of Simone in this video. The Princess of Metal. 🤪😎😻🙈❣💚🤘👈

A masterpiece. Atemporal.

All I can say is Angelic in everyway possible💋💖🎼

Épica y Simone tienen una magia tan única para mí la banda de metal sinfónico más grande y con la mejor discografía de todos saludos desde argentina 🤘🇦🇷🤘🇦🇷🤘🇦🇷😉

❤😍❤😍🎸🎶🎶🎤Espectacular, Lindíssima e emocionante ❤🎸🎶

It's great that we are getting these HD remasters on the channel. We really need one for "Never Enough", both the regular and dark versions.

Guys, thank you for all this romantic fantasy vibe. I'm looking at it now, even if it is 20 years old, I feel this is like a core of my personality now.

this song is so nostalgic. Love it

As músicas de Épica (antigo) eram verdadeiras obras de arte, poesia! Saudades desse tempo, Épica.
