Wow! I never thought about the lyrics so deeply but what you said makes huge sense I love you

I love Lady Gaga Thumbs Up

It's not a pop song. It's not anything, it's a WT song. What do people class as WT? Maybe they now think of the orchestra I dunno but there is no set WT style. Enter sounds nothing like Mother Earth and Mother Earth sounds nothing like THOE. Utopia sounds like a WT song to me, it does. You cant expect it to sound like anything off THOE. The lyrics are like Sharon's lyrics so whats the problem. Why cant they just like the song instead of whining.

I love your interpretation Amy Smile

I'm a little puzzled about who wrote Utopia now. BMI says Sharon and Daniel Gibson wrote the song, and I thought it was mainly Sharon who invited Chris. However...

Robert Westerholt of Within Temptation, who was invited by Armin van
Buuren’s to a concert, as Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) performed
“In and Out Of Love” with Armin, had already noticed the great voice on
“Going Wrong” in Armin’s studio, was introduced to Chris Jones that
evening.
Robert Westerholt: “When the two of us talked about
our favorite music, it became clear that we have a lot of similar ideas
in respect to songwriting and we decided to meet and check out, how it
would be to write together”.
Chris teamed up with Robert and
producer Daniel Gibson and together they started writing and recording
demo’s.The first few sessions were already promising and brought to
light a sound and style that Chris had been looking for all this time.
Chris
Jones: “It was amazing, it really clicked creatively and my voice would
just fit very naturally to the melodic rock tunes we had written”.
As
it happened, Within Temptation had a new acoustic album in production
and a new song “Utopia” was chosen to be the leading single for the
release. When Sharon heard more demos from Chris Jones she knew
immediately their voices would match perfectly to make “Utopia” a great
duet.

Now I don't get it - they imply that Utopia was one of the songs that Robert and Chris wrote together. So how did it go?

I have no idea, I guess we'll have to wait til we have the single in our hands and we can see who wrote it. I always assumed it would be Sharon writing the lyrics, they sound like WT lyrics but I know Robert does write some. It might just be referring to Robert writing the music. We'll have to wait til the 23rd October.

Maybe china is a metaphor for civilisation and wealth... I don't know.

Do any of you get sad listening to Utopia? I showed the video to a friend, and she said "It makes me even more sad than just the song". But I never thought of it that way, it always makes me happy when I hear it...

No I think it gives a lot of hope like all WT songs. I guess it depends how everyone relates to it really. If you just read the lyrics it might sound really sad but the way it's sung gives a lot of hope. Like Anette's Ever Dream you know, I get so much hope from that now just the way she sings it.

Ever Dream makes me fall off my chair laughing. You can't start a song with "Would you do it with me" and not expect laughs especially considering all Nw songs are about Tarja...

But Utopia definitely inspiring for me. Like beyond inspiring.

Ok the single says 'Utopia' Lyrica and Music by Sharon Den Adel and Daniel Gibson.

So I guess Sharon is writing with Daniel for other artists. I just hope he doesn't have a lot of input on the new album.

Utopia entered the Single Top 100 at #63

http://www.dutchcharts.nl/weekchart.asp?cat=s

I hope it manages to rise a bit more, because their worst single in the Single Top 100 so far was Memories with #18 (not including Restless and Our Farewell that didn't chart at all)
