Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy, that's right. Not just Royal Assassin, which is only the 2nd book. This song covers all 3 of them. Best books I've ever read. It's such a beautiful story. I was constantly crying while reading them. No other writer has accomplished that so far. And I read a lot. ;)
love it and right at the end tht girl who was doin the sharon dancing made me feel like i wasnt the only one who copies her dance moves... she looks so pretty in this video her hair's amazing.
The song that you are on about that is based on a story is Jillian (I'd Give My Heart). I know this for a fact as she even explained that the story was one of her favourites and what it was about when I went to see Within Temptation at London Astoria. Great song, love this band to bits, Sharon has a really great voice.
I believe it's "The Farseer Trilogy" by Robin Hobb. Which includes the books "Assassin's Apprentice", "Royal Assassin" and "Assassin's Quest". Not read them myself but seem to recall hearing it mentioned, and the plot outlines for the books fits well with the song.
I just discovered these guys and I am blown away. They are so talented. They are like watching an Opera. LOL Her beautiful voice is occaisonally off-key , but it is clearly from exhaustion. I wish she would stop waving her arms so much and save her strength for singing.
You're correct that Jillian was inspired by a book (Daggerspell by Katherine Kerr) but Hand of Sorrow was also inspired by a book...Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, as has already been mentioned.
This is my favorite sond on the heart of everything!! she sounds so tired and she messed up her lyrics. i still love wt and can't wait to see the live in sf!
this is my favorite song by them, its kinda strange, i listen to metal-core mainly (Killswitch Engage, All That Remains) i dont know what to classify this music as, but it is crazy, awesome, and pleasing to the ear. I LIKE IT!!!!
Yes, you're right about The Hidden Force, however Jillian is also inspired by a book called Daggerspell. Google the name and you will find a synopsis :)
I believe she is. She will probably be more carefull with that since the time she almost got set on fire on stage. I believe there's a movie of that on youtube, it's called something with within temptation blooper. Anyway i love WT, they rock!
Great performance! I disagree though that the bass or guitars were a problem being mixed with the orchestra. They sounded perfectly mixed to me. You can hear everything.
They aren't doing playback, 2 reasons sharon sang the wrong lyrics in the first part she sang his soul was tortured by love and by pain and correctly it is the choice he made he could not comprehend His blood a grim secret they had to command I think and second if it was playback the first part of the guitar solo had to be lauder... Like XTaintedHaloX said they just have a lot of talent
Oh no, the poor delicate little flower's "voice must have been tired" because "she sang several songs that day". She's more than capable of performing for over 2 hours with no problems and she sounds fine here. Her performances at festivals in 2023 were amazing too, she's still the best there is.
well they aren't there just to sing they are also there to perform. Otherwise the lead singer would just seat in a chair and sing lol Great performance :D
there is no gothic/symphonoc metal band that does not use playbacks.within temptation is using less than others.(lacuna coil-sirenia-unsun and others)The worst one is the back up vocals of nightwish at Tarja era.Her own voice recorder 3 and more times and playied back to cover her detuned vocals.Also mind that a laptop this the suitable programs can make midi keybords sound like more than an orchestra!At least the have a keyboard player!
@Pertan81 Uhm, then I guess thatit may be possible that we are both guys. But why are we talking about nuts and balls? XD Doesn't really seem.... You know.... XD
Is it just me, or does Sharon sound a bit out of breath? Anyways, I love this song. One of my favourites. I wish I was there at Pinkpop. Would've been awesome. XD
1.y is it wre tlkin about WT as if we know wa they want nd want they dnt like its stupid lol its not that theys "never" do playback its that they dont want to at the moment lol and also they've also sed that they dnt think as themselves as symphonic metal they think they are symphonic rock! love WT
No they're not Nightwish because unlike Nighwish the guys in Within Temptation have always treated their female singer with total respect and as an equal.
Was flying from Europe to South America and listened that song all the time . Extremmely nice .
Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy, that's right. Not just Royal Assassin, which is only the 2nd book. This song covers all 3 of them.
Best books I've ever read. It's such a beautiful story. I was constantly crying while reading them. No other writer has accomplished that so far. And I read a lot. ;)
Really miss this era 🖤

amazing
I don't think Sharon EVER sounds off live! She's so amazing. :)
This song rocks so hard live!
More people really should hear some more Within Temptation.
Sharon's SO good live!
I Love WT And Only After I Listened To This (and then other) Song(s) And I Listened To This Coz It Was Based On The Farseer Trilogy =D Win All Round
ROCK ON WT!!!!
god she's beautiful
I agree!!!
Oh yeah!
Awesome! Just very fucking awesome!
I just discovered these guys and I am blown away. They are so talented. They are like watching an Opera. LOL Her beautiful voice is occaisonally off-key , but it is clearly from exhaustion. I wish she would stop waving her arms so much and save her strength for singing.
You both are right :D

Except for Robert's growls, she carries the ENTIRE VOCAL LOAD. I think we can cut her some slack. - Hollands Gift to the world.
yeah,fitz is a great character and you should read all 6 books!
lol that too! WT FOREVER!!!!
They are only using playback on the orchestra, becouse... there is no orchestra there to play it, so they have to. nothing wrong with that.
FitzChivalry Farseer. thats who this song is about.
Farseer Trilogy is just awesome
lol, and this song inspired me to write a book. XP (rather, my first attempt at a 'short' story)
Great performance! I disagree though that the bass or guitars were a problem being mixed with the orchestra. They sounded perfectly mixed to me. You can hear everything.
00:34 is HILARIOUS!
is this song in the Black Symphony DVD ??? just wondering...or in what CD is it ?
she might do it to prove all the haters that say she lip syncs?
wow dumbfounded i mean to dance while wearing combat boots!!!!!!!!!!! thats impresive
Yep, i did. Anyways, great performance.
@Pertan81 So, you're saying that you got three?
@leimaravilla
She's cool. :)
: )
Can someone tell me the setlist of Pinkpop? It's the same as Dauwpop ^.^
lol Sharon made a mistake. Halfway the the first couplet she goes to the second couplet. Did nobody notice? Anyway love this song.
They aren't doing playback, 2 reasons sharon sang the wrong lyrics in the first part she sang his soul was tortured by love and by pain and correctly it is the choice he made he could not comprehend His blood a grim secret they had to command I think and second if it was playback the first part of the guitar solo had to be lauder... Like XTaintedHaloX said they just have a lot of talent
@CelticJew i cant see him
apsogo!
@LordZirk That would leave me with one nut to spare! But, yeah.
What book?
She sang several songs that day. Her voice must have been tired.
Oh no, the poor delicate little flower's "voice must have been tired" because "she sang several songs that day". She's more than capable of performing for over 2 hours with no problems and she sounds fine here. Her performances at festivals in 2023 were amazing too, she's still the best there is.
well they aren't there just to sing they are also there to perform. Otherwise the lead singer would just seat in a chair and sing lol
Great performance :D
because it's called "pink"pop?
@LordZirk Yupp.. Got three nuts. The more the merrier ;)
there is no gothic/symphonoc metal band that does not use playbacks.within temptation is using less than others.(lacuna coil-sirenia-unsun and others)The worst one is the back up vocals of nightwish at Tarja era.Her own voice recorder 3 and more times and playied back to cover her detuned vocals.Also mind that a laptop this the suitable programs can make midi keybords sound like more than an orchestra!At least the have a keyboard player!
Unless i'm much deceived hasn't sharon skipped a couple lines???
@Pertan81 Uhm, then I guess thatit may be possible that we are both guys. But why are we talking about nuts and balls? XD Doesn't really seem.... You know.... XD
she sounds a lil sick.. i would say that she is just tired.. because i know she sings beautifully.
needs more guitar also. the orchestra drowned them out.
Is it just me, or does Sharon sound a bit out of breath? Anyways, I love this song. One of my favourites. I wish I was there at Pinkpop. Would've been awesome. XD
I think it's just you.
yeah, i just thought the dramatic melody would go sort of well :) but youre right, not exactly a good song for it..
Poor Sharon, you can tell her voice is tired and strained.
omg she sounds fucking awsome live
others sound like shit lol
1.y is it wre tlkin about WT as if we know wa they want nd want they dnt like its stupid lol its not that theys "never" do playback its that they dont want to at the moment lol and also they've also sed that they dnt think as themselves as symphonic metal they think they are symphonic rock! love WT
lol..she was getting all the lyrics all wrong...
Sharon mustve had a bad day D=
GO WITHIN TEMPTATION!!
It's comparable to Romeo and Juliet except for the obvious, she's a human, he's a vampire. Oh, and there's a happy ending.
not nightwish, but as great as them =)
No they're not Nightwish because unlike Nighwish the guys in Within Temptation have always treated their female singer with total respect and as an equal.
I heard Twilight is an emo book, can be this confirmed? XD
lol, that was hilarious. how could mainstream evanescence ever be "rockers"?
Oh... Well it's not that bad.
shut up. the dress rocks.
I totally agree, twilight is so annoying the fans are just screaming little 12 year olds going 'AAAAAAH TWILIGHT!'
You're just mad you can't afford the dress. =P
