I downloaded this song...are you sure it's not WT??

"Wish You Were Here" :Originally by Rednex, and covered by Blackmore's Night

"In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated" :originally by Dead Can Dance, and has also been covered by The Gathering

"Frozen" is a title used by many artists for many songs. Within Temptation have a song called Frozen on The Heart Of Everything. Sharon also performed a track entitled Frozen on the Voyage album Embrace. Additionally, Delain have a track called Frozen on their album Lucidity.

"Cold" :Lacuna Coil. From the album ‘In A Reverie’.

"It's Only Love": 'Restless' with the wrong title

"Surrender" by WT and Evanescence: This is purely Evanescence. Within Temptataion and Evanescence have never performed together.

"Restless" by Evanescence and Within Temptation: This is purely Within Temptation. Within Temptataion and Evanescence have never performed together.

Just to correct something:"Beyond Me" is from After Forever's "Prison Of Desire"album,not "Decipher"

Oh, I actually knew that. Nice going, DOF.

Why didn't you update it fully, Andy? The list misses IAOOL and Somewhere (if that counts) too. Or just link to my thread in the Sharon sub, I keep that one updated.

Fook! >_< I'm goin', I'm goin'.
