I have met my first boyfriend when Faith and the Muse came to Italy on 4/14/2000. I can't believe it's been already 20 years. We stayed together for only 2 years. It was a sad story. He died in 2018 for cancer. I have shared the best 2 years of my life with him. He loved this band. and made me know all the best gothic bands ever. I miss him sometimes. I miss my 20s so much.
It almost makes me cry how criminally underrated Faith and the Muse were, and remain. My wife and I saw their final tour in a room with less than 100 people in it, and it's a gods-damned shame that an era that saw Evanescence packing areas left Monica and William to play to near-empty houses and dwindling album sales. That band never released a bad album, always kept moving creatively and yet preserved the sound and mystery that keeps them among my all-time favorite bands nearly a decade after their demise. This album was stunning, this tour was stunning, this BAND was stunning, and it's to the eternal shame of darkwave/ Goth-types everywhere that Faith and the Muse brought the entire package to the marketplace and were damned near ignored in response.
Holy crap, *Phil Brucato!*, and holy crap, Phil, you're right on the damned mark! I was fortunate enough to have seen them put this show on at Dragon*Con in 2009. A true privilege to see them. This song was one that was fundamental to my internal soundtrack as a teenager in the 1990s.
F&TM is amazing. I love them so much my band from the 90s turned down opening for them 3x's cause we wanted to be fully absorbed in their shows. Evanescence always boggled me as to why they were to popular. Though they took a goth look, their not goth at all. Corporate Rock ftl. F&TM will be celebrated and danced to at goth clubs till the end of times. Perhaps a better outcome than packing arenas and casinos.
I love how incredibly lush this sounds. The studio version is already beautiful, but this performance is so atmospheric and resonant. It feels like you’re sinking into the guitars as they play.
Been listening to faith and the muse for awhile now. I agree they are criminally underrated. They were featured in the newest Nike sb video and I hope people listen to them more!
Damn, youtube should allow me to like this video more than once. I love this song, her voice, the dancers, everything! They're great! Thanks for sharing.
WOW and hell yeah! Me three,ladies! Awesome stuff here with this group!👏I think I went into a trance while listening! Kinda like visiting another world and returning,when you wish it would never end! Still goin here in 4/2019!✌ & 💜 out there!😊
How carelessly the bound daylight caresses Oblivious to wandering eyes extinguished Free me reckless with the night Elusive scenes enkindled burst to fire Where splendor casts umbrageous twin And love sparks radiance To guide the heart from within All in search for you Eve of brilliance Till the morning proves indifference For the sparks die Leaving shadows in my vision How dutifully the dull sunlight chastises Adopted wings that dare arise with promise Incandescent I represent Pandora's uninformed enlightenment And fears that creep about my flame Evanesce until the dawn calls them Home again bearing thoughts of you And I'm helpless to see Unbecoming of me Blindly mythicizing Etiolation emphasized by merrythoughts Once broken by moonlight Oh brighter to have never loved Than gather ghosts of the blinding Relentless sun idealized in you And I can't bear to see Unbecoming of me Love is not dead
such Grace and elegance...thank God for the Seers and Muse's, most men are oblivious.. these are the days when those from yesteryear walk the earth once more ...coming full circle as it has been prophesied.
Ostensibly the bound daylight caresses Oblivious to wandering eyes extinguished Oh free me reckless with the night Elusive scenes en-kindled burst to fire Where splendor casts umbrageous twin And love sparks radiance To guide the heart from within All in search for you Eve of brilliance Till the morning proves indifference For the sparks die Leaving shadows on my vision How dutifully the dull sunlight chastises Adopted wings that dare arise with promise Incandescent I represent Pandora's uninformed enlightenment And fears that creep about my flame Evanescence until the dawn calls them Home again bearing thoughts of you Eve of brilliance Till the morning proves indifference For the sparks die Leaving shadows on my vision And I'm helpless to see Unbecoming of me Blindly mythicizing Etiolation emphasized by merry thoughts Once broken by moonlight Brighter to have never loved Than gather ghosts of the blinding Relentless sun idealized in you Eve of brilliance Till the morning proves indifference For the sparks die Leaving shadows on my vision And I can't bear to see Unbecoming of me Love is not dead Love is not dead Love is not dead
This is Wonderful music . Love the sound of it . From Monica's haunting Voice to the Music and Stage show . Trying to get hold of a DVD Copy of Shoumei !
Anyone know who the dancers are, and if they appear with any other bands on RU-vid? Got to be my favourite track by Faith And The Muse....sooo atmospheric.
