Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)

One of the defining songs of Within Temptation, IMO. Beautiful intro, and the bridge is so beautiful. Everything about this song works perfectly.

Yep i also love this song, one of my faves from The Silent Force

this song is amazing! one of my fav songs too

It's my second favourite (after the Promise). I remember the best WT song Poll on the WT forums, and the final round was between Jillian and The Promise. It was hard, but the Promise won

i was obsessed with this song for sooo long. really like the high energy in it

I love this song! Easily the best on The Silent Force

This is my favourite WT song.The orchestra and choir entrance is wonderful.I also think that its one of the highlights of 'The Silent Force Tour' performance...

Isn't it true that its based on the Deverry cycle by Katharine Kerr?

yeah it is based on that book. i really want that book now!

I've only started reading 'Daggerspell' recently,but even after 50 pages its so obvious that the song is based on the series!

WITHOUT a doubt, not just one of my fave WT tracks, but one of my most fave songs in the world. It was the first song of theirs that I heard, and I was hooked immediately. Absolutely beautiful.

Definitely a defining WT song The bridge is gorgeous, not to mention every other part of the song, and I really like how the Intro at the Black Symphony lead into it. That sounds SO COOL. It's a great opener.

hell yeah! i'm obsessed with this song at the moment

I liked this song but I never knew what it was about. So it didn't cling as strongly as others. But it is gorgeous.

Well, it's based off of a book, like a lot of their songs are (books and movies), so I can understand where you're coming from. It's harder to connect to.

You mean I haven't commented on Jillian yet? This being one of my favorites. I find this song so powerful and well addicting for me. I've always loved it. There is just something about it. Just if you are a bit WT fan word of advice never discuss Katra around the dutch fans...if you don't know about the Tietaja incident then I'll gladly inform you.

Andy doesn't know about Tietaja .... let me wallow in this moment for a second

ok I'm done

well Tietaja is the "stolen" Jillian that was a eurovision song a few years ago the music to it was copywright infringed and you can tell it by listening to it though the Finnish courts say other wise I can hear it...it was all over the press and there is even a comparison on youtube for it somewhere I'll have to find that again good thing is Katra never made it to be the Finnish contestant

Ah. Well I know of the Forever Slave rip-off of Deceiver of Fools, but yeah...I had never heard of that.

Wow.

*runs to youtube*

That Katra - Tietäjä is bad

Anways I love Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) atm I've been listening to it alot so atm it is probably my favourite off The Silent Force. That is subject to change though.

I love the high 'Jillian' especially on TSF DVD and Sharon is on her knees. That is epic

yay you answered my question. I have been wonderng for SO long why they wrote this song, and if I couldn't find out I wanted to ask Sharon personally. I had a friend named Jill..... the lyrics fit everything so perfectly!!!!

This is such an amazing song, I love everything about it.

Now I want to read Deverry Cycle. I had a thought one day when I was listening to Jillian when walking home, where the name Jillian came from. Then I realised it was probably a book

I have to read it too. *sighs* It's probably going ot make me cry.

it`s defintely one of the best WT song i think it`s my 5th from my top10..
it`s a really sweet one,the best from TSF for me
i love the lyrics,the bridge,the atmosphere,everything about it!
but what does Jillian mean???
