Our Farewell

Awww I love Our Farewell.

I dont really like the version on the Mother Earth Tour with Gea Gijsbertsen ??? Is that her name? I personally think she ruins the song.

I do love the Acoustic at PinkPop 2001 version. Shes goes off on 'You are not alone in life' it makes me go awwww

xxx

Yeah, I don't like that version either. Her voice just doesn't work for Our Farewell, IMO.

As Mother Earth has been playing a lot recently (Caged in particular ) I have been listening to Our Farewell a lot too. It is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I find many ways to relate to it and it usually has me on the verge of tears

Unfortunatley I struggle to watch and listen to the ME Tour version thanks to Gea. I really wish it had been another song.

My first WT song. I've loved it ever since.

^Mine too!!!!! <333

Really? I'm a fan of Celtic music, so I bought one of the Celtic Circle compilation CDs and Our Farewell happened to be on it.

It was in a fanfiction for me. And I had to listen to it 'cause the lyrics were just so beautiful.

I haven't seen any fanfics with WT lyrics in them.

Thank bloody God Andy read that fanfic too. I can't picture her an uber-fan of anyone but Sharon!

Hehe. I can't either....Except Amy Lee...but that really wasn't nearly as obsessive XD

Well, this woman is awesome with Harry Potter fanfiction if you're into that. And she's where I found quite a few stories with WT lyrics in 'em.

Awww I wish Our Farewell was my first song. Wierd I dont really see Our Farewell as the most celtic song on Mother Earth. But it is probably the most beautiful

I wouldn't have thought of Our Farewell as the most Celtic either. I've always thought ME would go better with that. But maybe they wanted a ballad on there? or

i really love it..Sharon`s voice is so emotional here...and it`s a sad song though...but it`s good as every WT song of course!
but i don`t really like the duet with Gea from ME Tour..her opera voice doesn`t fit with sharon`s lyric soprano voice..
but still a woundeful song!

I'd really love to know how WT thought the duet with Gea turned out. Most people dont seem to like it, so I wonder if they still do.

Gea's a good singer but she ruined Our Farewell.

I really wanted to see Sharon sing all of Our Farewell, instead of a duet. Gea isn't a bad singer, I just wanted to hear more of Sharon.

yes i agree...
i think WT liked her voice,and if they did`t like it i can`t find a reason why they picked her
anyway,why do some people think that Gea is Tarja?I mean they`re too diffrent but people got confused so easily

I know I just wonder how they thought it turned out in the end, once they had watched ME DVD.

I have no idea how they confuse her with Tarja She looks nothing like Tarja and sounds nothing like her.

Nothing alike. But there are still people out there who think Tarja performed Our Farewell with them.

Well they cant be real Tarja fans then if they dont even recognise her.

Our Farewell is just so beautiful

Very beautiful.

Yes very beautiful,bud sad
oh and the saddest fact is this song has never been performed live again since 2006
