The Optimist is the eleventh album by rock band Anathema, released June 9, 2017 through Kscope. The album follows the concept of the band's 2001 release A Fine Day To Exit.
One of my favourite songs of all time. I was really lucky to see this perfomed live in 2017, in Milan, before all this pandemic shit and hiatus. Pure bliss.
Hold on, hold on for dear life And run, and run all night For you are loved in endless ways Stay with me Please believe I can be your memory My world will never be the same And my heart is never going to break For you are loved in endless ways Are loved in endless ways Hold on, hold on for dear life And run, and run all night For you are loved in endless ways Are loved in endless ways There's no way of knowing What will be waiting There's no way of knowing The dream I'm creating There's no way of knowing The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating
Lee’s vocals ...So mesmerising. Listened to anathema for the first time in the mid-90s and they blew me away and they still do ,in Endless Ways. They are just getting better and better .
LOL I was sending this link to a friend of mine and I was saying him the same thing: "Dude Anathema never failed me once!" I grew up with them since high-school till now.. almost 40.
For the life of me I cant understand a thumbs down. This is sensational. What a vocal, Lee Douglas without doubt the best female vocalist on the planet.
Can't agree more. Listen to A Natural Disaster. I know this sounds a bit strange but she reaches places in my soul that lifts my emotional being. Wacky I know, but she reaches others beers can't reach!
Cause most sheeple think horrible pop musicians/singers are talented. There are so many underrated female vocalist that don’t get the recognition they truly deserve. Lee for one. Florence Welch, Johnette Napalitano, Brody Dalle, and Emily Armstrong among others.
I just heard this song on Morow, and I can't get over what a beautiful song this is! I absolutely love it when progressive bands have female vocals, and here I've found a band that has a such a strong singer. Very breathtaking, and now I have to search out their discography. Thanks for uploading!
Will finally see them in Chicago in 10 days! As far as I know, they haven't played the US in some years. I am so excited! I love this band and everything they do. IMHO every album is just...awesome
It's weird how Anathema have never broke into the mainstream.. I really like this stuff, a lot more than other pop artists.. and I'm an old school metalhead.. I guess I like Anethema because of thier history though... Otherwise it would be hard to accept a band like this that was new... I mean it's kind of proggy but not much it's pretty much pop mainstream now.
Song of the Century! Wow! This is mind-blowing! This whole album is just incredible! Listen to the hi-rez 6 channel mix in Dolby Surround Atmosphere with some king kush! Anathema is truly one of the top 5 rock bands in history! EVERYTHING they make is better than the best!
CRABLEGS people probably consider it metal cause they used to be a progressive metal band. I personally don't think it's a metal song and they are no longer a metal band.

How in God's name did this song NOT make it on the radio? It is majestic!!
The most poetic band in the world, thank you for coming back.
:(
Arguably the best song on the whole album. I can't stop listening to it! Lee's vocals! Extreme chills everytime!
nah, Ghosts and Springfield takes the cake but this one is a solid 3rd
Agreed
For me it is either this or Back to the Start.
My best friend died two months ago. You are loved in endless ways.
Buy the CD, it's all genius. This song makes my brain cells explode every time I listen to it.
Edward Hitten me too
This is the most heard song by me. I have listened to it thousands of times (No kidding) since it came out 2 years ago. I still can't get tired of it.
Braincells explode and eyes start wattering
Masterpiece, good luck for every one listening to this song during COVID-19 times, I hope you are doing will
Good luck pal
Scam beware
Hold on, hold on for dear life
And run, and run all night
For you are loved in endless ways
Stay with me
Please believe
I can be your memory
My world will never be the same
And my heart is never going to break
For you are loved in endless ways
Are loved in endless ways
Hold on, hold on for dear life
And run, and run all night
For you are loved in endless ways
Are loved in endless ways
There's no way of knowing
What will be waiting
There's no way of knowing
The dream I'm creating
There's no way of knowing
The dream I'm creating
The dream I'm creating
The dream I'm creating

This song is pure feeling.
2:22 Damn
this song came on shuffle and stunned me. never heard of this band before, but damn it's so good.
Get yourself a comfy chair and a good pair of headphones, because you have a long journey with this band. Do it, if you like music, just do it.
Lucky you Nick! Wish I had the chance to rediscover them!
Finding this comment 5 years after you made it, I hope you kept listening to this amazing band
This band never dissapoints you!!!
I was kinda disappointed with Distant Satellites, but had faith they'd bounce back
same and boy did they not disappoint :))
Damn right :))

Absolutely and completely crushing. This is beauty made music.
Masterpiece!
Tears.
For the life of me I cant understand a thumbs down. This is sensational. What a vocal, Lee Douglas without doubt the best female vocalist on the planet.
thumbs down people simply cant understand how to hear the music properly. shame for them. joy for us.
Probably butthurt people that even 18 years later still expect a Doom/Death metal act

Allus amazed me that remained virtually unkown to the wider public in their home city of Liverpool

This song is stupidly good live, fantastic record!
Can’t wait until you return to New York.... at least Anneke will make an appearance. You all make a great team!
Anathema is just perfect. Beautiful. 💔💙🌧🎶
I don't imagine this song in another voice than Lee's
Anathema. realmente unos genios. este año los veo
wow! like everyone here says... Anathema never disappoint!!!
Im floating in space...
Пожалуй, если не лучшая, то одна из лучших песен из когда либо созданных
The best song in the world

Aynı şekilde , bizde İstanbul için geri sayımdayız.Gidemezsem gözüm açık giderim
The System3 ben kaçırmadan aldım bile,şimdi tek kalan sabırla beklemek..
İzmir ve istanbuldan sonra da Ankara’ya geliyorlar, heyecanla bekliyorum♥️
Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel sabırla son kalan iki haftayı da atlatabileceğimi düşünüyorum 😄
İki hafta önce grubun dağılması peki çok üzücü
The dream iiiiiive created! The dream iiiiive created!
Amazing song!

I love how this is considered metal music just because it is a good song lol, maybe the drums too
CRABLEGS people probably consider it metal cause they used to be a progressive metal band. I personally don't think it's a metal song and they are no longer a metal band.
Anathema is the only band you cannot categorize,
Good luck categorizing Anathema 😏

It sounds like that Mass Effect song by Faunts.

I love Anathema, especially live
But the strings are copied from "seen from the outside" by Paul Leonard-Morgan.
Another great song ;-)
Paul wrote the strings for this
@@GibsonFender please tell me you guys havent split for good
Whenever a band goes in this direction, I find myself disappointed. However, this is just as good, if not better than their previous stuff.
