Somewhere ( feat Anneke)

Supah dupah.

So, yeah. I'm positive I would actually ADORE this version if Anneke had turned down her voice just a wee bit.

Thought this would be interesting to show. Anneke did a solo version of Somewhere in her South American tour:



I think she does the first verse really well

@ Andy - I like Anneke singing it the way she did. I probably wouldn't have liked it if she tones it down.

And OMG Onno! That's awesome! I know Franneke saw Ague de Annique last night. I wonder if she saw this.

I'm not gonna comment on that. She sounded great... I just really hope she asked permission before performing it solo.

And in response to her voice on the live "Somewhere", I meant volume-wise. She kinda took over the song, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I do like her voice a lot, and she's a great singer, but I'd take offense if George took over "The Other Half (of Me)" too. Even though he performs it with them all the time. I'm sure Anneke didn't mean for it to seem that way to anyone. But it's just... It's not her song, ya know? She wasn't even in the original recording.

Obviously, WT has done a cover of Running Up That Hill, and even made it a single, but that song is older, and they changed it A LOT. They could've removed the copyrights with their version if they changed the lyrics a bit.

I dunno. Maybe it only irritates me a lot at this moment because I'm sleepy, but I just don't... *sigh* I don't have to listen to it if I don't want to. *walks away, bowing head*

I'm not even gonna watch it I love Anneke's voice but Somewhere means too much to me to hear anyone else sing that song.

She overpowers it less now than on Black Symphony. I'm too attatched to Somewhere to like anyone else singing it.

I'm sure she asked permission though, they are friends.

SUE HER SHARON!!!!! DEW EWT IF UR KEWL XD

You crack me up Amy.

Cant see that happening though they are friends. I wish she hadn't picked Somewhere, any other song and I'd be fine. I really like Anneke's voice, just no-one else can sing Somewhere.

I don't like her voice. I don't like anyone's voice but Sharon's.

*red lights and sirens flash*

lmao. My lie detector is working at least...

Am I the only one who likes the duet with Anneke?

Really she overpowered the song a bit,but it still sound beautiful.I think Anneke added something in that song..dunno Or maybe it`s just me,or just because Anneke is one of my favorite singers.But no ione will EVER beat Sharon.NEVER!

But c`mone Somewhere is way better than Our Farewell on ME Tour.I do like operatic voices but Gea simply murdered that song

Haha yeah right Amy. I can see who's in your cage!

Like I said, any other song and I would of loved Anneke dueting. She has an incredible voice, I'd kill for her voice but Somewhere means way to much to me to have anyone else sing it. Sharon's emotion on it got to me but Anneke interprets it really different, which I struggle with.

It's not Anneke it's the song

^Maybe Somewhere is just such an emotional song that only Sharon can iterpret.I like both versions actually.The omne without Anneke is beautiful
What song should sang Anneke?i`m really curious .I`d go for Our farewell

It's just that song got me through a lot and still does and that also part to Sharon's voice. So it changed it a little when Anneke dueted on it. It is good, it really is and Anneke has one of the most amazing voices, I just cant accept her on Somewhere

She'd sound good on most songs I think. I dunno. I think Our Farewell should be left alone forever!

^It`s already left forever.It hasn`t been played live anymore since 2006,and I won`t think they will ever play it live

Okay,Somewhere is one of my all-time favorite WT songs,with or without Anneke

I found a recording of the Melkweg show (so cool to have that of a show you went to ) so I thought I'd upload Somewhere on WTube. Here it is:

And a translation of the beginning:

Anneke: Who's here for Sharon?
Audience: *small cheer*
A: Well, that was a lame reaction! Say, who's here for Sharon?
Audience: *loud cheer*
A: Alright, Sharon and I have known each other a very long time, just as long as you have known her. We were from the 'metal-nest', and we raised the metal with a lot of women.
Audience: *cheer*
A: We toured separately for a while, sometimes meeting each other somewhere. The press (some press) used to say like "Well, that one sings better than that one, you are probably not friends with each other..." That sort of bullshit. Actually we really liked each other, but we never worked together...
Audience member: Ayreon!
A: Yes, but we never saw each other there.
Audience member: "???"
A: Well... you have a point there. There goes my story! ...but until now! She asked if I wanted to sing the song Somewhere with Within Temptation a few times, that is so great. And when I started to make this record, I thought: "That one should be on it!" And can I welcome to you, Sharon den Adel!
Audience: *loud cheer*
Sharon: It's comfy here.

Thanks Onno. It's a beautiful preformance, you're so lucky

Beautiful performance indeed,also thanks for translation,Onno

Lol. "It's comfy here" I love that woman. Thanks for the video

THAT'S SUCH A SHARON REMARK<3

True, she said the same thing when she was guest in Delain's show in Broerenkerk, Zwolle 2007.
