- ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN - Agape (LYRIC VIDEO)
From Anneke’s forthcoming album "The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest".
Pre-order the album now at annekevangiers... - out February 26, 2021.
Music and words by Anneke van Giersbergen
Directed by David Hazeleger
There’s a distinct echo of a love song from the ‘70s about Agape’s meditative guitar arrangement. The lush sound of a string quartet adds a dreamy quality to the song. Agape refers to the highest form of unconditional love, the type of love we all yearn for.
Lyrics: Agape
And if I sit beside you and if I wait
And if I wander off into this state
Would I be fine and could I call you mine
And have you near for a thousand years
If I wake up beside you and touch your smile
The world would disappear for a while
We’d hide in space or any other place
Immortal souls will always find their way
The darkest skies are the brightest
In the shadows of our eyes there’s a star
The darkest skies are the brightest
In every chance we long to take
Lies a radiant golden shimmering luminous star
And if I sit beside you and if I say
We will move heaven and earth to find a way
Would you pull me under
Have me wonder
Why in the world are we so many cities apart
And why in the world is it so diabolically hard

I never met a metalhead who did'nt respect this lady. Anneke is metal royalty.
The thing is that metalheads are some of the fews who know good music ;)
@@ddmn3648 Agreed!
I've seen her perform live with Devin Townsend. She sings and dances like an angel. This metalhead loves Anneke, a truly under appreciated vocalist!
If only you met me like a year ago lol
Any half good creature respects her.
I could listen to Anneke sing the phone book!
Sorry, but she is kinda doing it with these new ones. Don't get me wrong, I have seen Anneke live and wow that sound is amazing!
I've always said the same.
This is so true that it needed to be pinned on top.
If the angels singing then Anneke...is one of them!!!
Love from Greece...
Σε αγαπάμε πολύ Anneke
I'm still trying to figure out whether the darkest skies are the brightest... My pregnant wife and baby passed away recently, and I've walked through hell. Some days I still do. This music brings me back to heaven, gasping for a piece of light. Thank you.
😔
The tragedies of life should bring us closer to God. Peace to you
@@larpingtonboogecke Thanks mate. Always been close to God. I do think my beloved ones are with God now. But I'm here, and it's neither fair nor easy. I have professional help, friends, some family... And our first son who's 13, he is the reason why I'm battling this fight, I want to continue raising him the way my wife wanted. I guess it'll just take time until I fully accept what happened, and let them free. I know they want me happy. We were together for 18 years, best friends not only lovers. She was my smile and my refuge. Have a great rest of the week!
@@danielernestoportela thanks, you too.
Love from Greece Anneke... Always with great music!!!..... always!!!!
When she sings you can feel her spirit and soul radiating , so powerful
I've considered her my favourite female vocalist for years. Alas, no recording I've heard does justice to what she sounds like live. I've seen her twice on a small solo tour. Just her and her guitar at a small simple venue. Just thinking about it gives me shivers years later. I've never heard anything like that before or since.
Totally agree! I’m addicted to have goosebumps listening to her. I saw Vuur a couple of years ago, and I couldn’t even feel time passing by...
Unconditional Love
The best female rock vocalist alive. Period.
So much more than that. She is one of the greatest singers of all time.
@@Radowitzki amem
Αγάπη μόνο για την Anneke. ;-)
Agape = love in greek
Nothing beats a Greek gape.
@@ShredHeadJHJ 😳 I see what you did there....
Thats right man . and in greek writing is : Αγαπη
Exactly, indeed that's what it means in Greek, mpravo Xrysostome athrwpe 💯👍
More specifically the Love of God
Very sad memories tie me to this song, and still I come back here again and again... looking for relief through Anneke's beautiful voice.
Right After The Darkest is when many doors come to you to choose a different path to true self
If angels have a voice...is anneke's voice.
Somewhere from Within Temptation ft. Anneke: two angels together:-)
This is the woman of my dreams ; Annie get out of my dreams and run to me ((((((((((❤))))))))))
So beautiful, poetic and astronomically correct 😊, because the best way to observe the brightness of stars and other planets is in a very dark sky indeed. Anneke is the best .
Loving the new songs - beautiful, mature.... this album will be strong. So nice to hear an angel sing like Anneke in these troubled times. One of the greatest voices in music.
Truly A Messenger Of The Universe
this is a real Valentines gift
Hilversum (Dutch TV and radio broadcasting) ignored for decades terrific female front singers like Anneke van Giersbergen, Charlotte Wessels, Simone Simons, Sharon den Adel, Dianne van Giersbergen, Floor and Irene Jansen, and so on, in the Netherlands because of the metal image they have. Such a shame !, listening to also this beautiful performance from Anneke, these versatile ladies can do anything in the music world.
I’m agree.
Up here in Finland we love them.The dutch ladies are amazing.Floor and Annie are my personal favourites.Lovely lovely ladies.
Only morons listen to what Hilversum has to offer.....which is atrocious and utterly mindnumbing total nonsense 'music'........problem is that the country seems full of morons.
Marcella Bovio is now Dutch too;)
@@jemoeder7456 Sold out venues for Lil Kleine, De Toppers etcetera. Too much Dutch clone artists who imitate American artists. The most music regurgitated on the radio is music for single-celled and early adolescents with an underdeveloped sense of of music.
She should be a legend by now!! That voice is still awesome!! Different techniques as well? As a metal head i loved hearing her for years now and in the metal head community....she is idolized
Just the album I need after the worst year of my life, I hope that anneke tours this album 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I've listened to so much Anneke has done, from the Gentle Storm, to Vuur, and her independent work. Including her work with the Icelandic group árstíðir (if you like this song, you will love the árstíðir collaboration). I eventually managed to see her live, not an easy thing when you live in Canada and she doesn't! - But much as I enjoy artists like Tarja, and Floor, I can't help thinking that Anneke has something even more special. One of the most versatile artists around, and amazingly friendly to meet in person (either at a VIP session, or waving at her in the street outside a venue!). I think today is a good day to pre-order the album! Thank you for this awesome stuff in these crazy Covid times!!!
And don't forget her best work with The Gathering. ❤️
I totally agree! My all-time favorite female singer, she is unique!
I feel lucky to have seen her fronting the Gathering, during a solo tour, with the Gentle storm and with Ayreon.
She is amazing. (and Floor's inspiration)
Anneke is like your friendly neighbor, good mum, lovely wife ... and hey ... an extraordinary vocalist and most of all the most enchanting performer of all vocalists. And you know what? She is just Anneke...
Don't forget her works here and there with Devin Townsend
...a magical voice of singular beauty, the brightness of the stars can only be seen in the clear night, surprising Anneke, greeting from Colombia.
Τεράστια αγάπη
The most beautiful voice in the universe 💙
This is is my favourite song of her new album, it gives me hope and peace. Thank you so much Anneke! 💕💕💕
Such profound lyrics , heart , mind ,soul
Mir gefällt es gut,
Beautiful song. I love her voice.
It is very hard for me to listen to this album and not to cry. Too emotional. For me this is album of a decade.
This song is so beautiful that it hurts.
I listen to this every night , so touching and meaningful
Incredible soothing tunes from Anneke!!
Pure Elegance
It Is True I Love her , Need Her , In My Life
This song is pure magic. Poetry in music. Thank you, Anneke. Your voice is my shelter from everything that's bad in this world. Can't wait to have my CD+LP of "The darkest skies are the brightest"...
Wow a realy beautiful song !
Very special voice
Brilliant...magical....pure music poetry.
She always sounds so effortless.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me who has the best voice in the world 😁
...and the winner is - Anneke 💃
Great song 👏
Greetings from Poland 🙋
Wow. That's all I can say. My deepest respect for this lady: this is beyond good!
So beautiful and soothing. This song alone makes it worth the pre order. Best album of the year already in february? Maybe!
I think that might just be my heart Anneke is holding. Looks like it has been lovingly glued back together with her magical voice.
2:15 reminds me of Kate Bush's Cloudbusting
Oh Anneke, these days I feel you
Thanks ❤️
yep, maybe the whole album will be a bit Katebushy ;)
I just can't stop listening to this. When I listen to her, I feel everything will be ok.
Année you are such a great person!! Loved the song! ❤️🇲🇽
I discovered this woman thanks to the love of my life
Masterpiece !!!
The best

What can I say..❤🤘
What a song :-)
Te amamos, Anneke ❤️
Álbum do ano?
Outstanding! A great composition.
This is an open message since I have no social media accounts . I really wish that I knew Anneke personally and become a close friend of hers . ( " I know I know just like millions of her fans > I know that is impossible " ) I love her preformances and my love is superficial but I still would like to feel her energy up close , feel her heat , her breath , her vibes , as only a true friend would do . so that I could fully appreciate this beautiful lady more than I already do . I'm just a guy known as a seeker of knowledge ♐🖖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 All I have to offer is honesty , namaste , j d
It's beautiful, my dear Anneke. I really miss the feeling of your energy projecting from the stage to all of us.
I may even start considering your aura as healing. 😊
Don't let that heart of yours ever fall down!
one of my favorite artists today, and so nice too
es bellisimo
Instant chills...
So beautiful ❤️
Beautiful song, Annie.... 🧡

I can't wait for the album. Every song that is released so far is pure perfection 🥺♥️
всё тот же бесподобный вокал! / all the same unmatched vocals!
Beautiful!
Good luck listening to this record and not fall in love with
So much respect. You’re a true artist
Amazing Anneke!
escucharé este disco con una botella de vino a mi lado y una caja de pañuelos porque me han llegado las 3 canciones a la medula misma. Es como caer en la más profunda sensación de vacío y esperanza a la vez
Amazing! Lovely, just like everything she does. I love the intimacy you can feel in this song. Minimalistic and pure. I hope I can get the vinyl :)
Amazing
I never really cared much for The Gathering, but her solo stuff, and that which she did with Devin is all incredible.
