Dutch Symphonic Metal Band: WITHIN TEMPTATION Album: Black Symphony Song: Our Solemn Hour Year: 2008 Within Temptation & The Metropole Orchestra (Live At The Ahoy Rotterdam)
Speech Intro Lyrics: I speak to you for the first time as prime minister in a solem hour for the life of our country, of our empire No officer or man, no brigade or division, which grapples at close quarters with the enemy can fail to make a worth contribution to the general result A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders The enemy, by a remarkable combimation of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks, have broken through the French defences and strong columns of their armoured vehicles are ravaging the open country There is good evidence to show that practically the whole of the specialized and mechanized forces of the enemy have been already thrown into the battle in a solem hour for the life of our country
Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus! In my darkest hours I could not foresee That the tide could turn so fast to this degree Can't believe my eyes How can you be so blind? Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside? Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned So in the end now what have we gained? Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony? Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain? Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow? If we can't restrain the beast which dwells inside It will find it's way somehow, somewhere in time Will we remember all of the suffering 'Cause if we fail it will be in vain Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour (Solem hour) Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us (All around us) Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony
I don't see it as having a different meaning so much as changing situations in the world reveal that the truth of this song represents the reality of the world, much like "Zombie" is eternal. In either case the shifting tragedies of the world are well described by these songs.
Old...really. ? Led zeppelin sounds better n newer than all pop for last 20 yr. But stairway is most played song ever on radio. Music is timeless. And getting worse with time.
As much as I love the genre of music, I always end up thinking of all the hard work the sound engineer had to put into mixing and mastering it. Its hard enough working with a symphonic orchestra let alone getting both it and the metal band playing over it to sound good at the same time. Getting a good live mix, the sound check must have taken hours lol.
What's your point? The more different instruments will always increase the complexity of mixing. More anything requires more organization to work. So what? That's a fact of reality from the beginning of time capt. Obviously stupid. It means nothing other than the sound ppl must equal the talent of those they record. And I doubt they complain bout their pay or credit... so what is your point?
Editing a little shaky for my taste . Sharon , and the group , the powerfulness of the song , the audiences enthusiasm should be enough to make the video epic . Love WT
я один испытываю состояние быть одной большой приятной мурашкой да чего там я одна большая приятная мурашка от этой песни группа within temptation просто тащит все и шэрон ден адель вокалистка группы within temptation просто тащит все
Sorry but the does not need Roosevelt as it would go against the meaning of the song. Sanctus Espiritus is Latin for Holy Spirit, Solemn= Gravest so Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour means Holy Spirit save us from are Gravest hour
