The Gentle Storm - New Video Released

The Gentle Storm - New Video Released

Today there is some more The Gentle Storm for you. Following the release of the track "Endless Sea" before, they have now launched the video for the track "Heart Of Amsterdam" which you can view below. So, here is another opportunity to hear more of the music that Arjen Anthony Lucassen created with Anneke Van Giersbergen. And also, you get to see Anneke with a wig and the band performing together. Enjoy the video!

Anneke had this to say: "Heart Of Amsterdam is a tribute to the city of Amsterdam, the home town of the story's leading character Susanne. Seventeenth-century Amsterdam was a centre of shipping, shipbuilding, and trade. Amsterdam flourished, and a wonderful city was the result. We shot the video in the centre of Amsterdam. It was freezing cold and I couldn't move my fingers anymore during the last shots, but it was all worth it. I love how the video turned out!"




The Diary, set for release on the 23rd of March 2015, is also now available to pre-order in several different formats including a limited 4CD artbook featuring instrumental versions of the entire album, a limited gatefold 3LP vinyl with 2CDs, and special edition 2CD digipak at this location.

The main part of the song was decent, but the folky bits at the beginning and toward the end were a bit much.

+1 to her voice, especially with Marcela (I think?) backing her up.

Ironic, usually I enjoy the vocal melodies Arjen writes more than the music (which I realize puts me in the minority).
But with this song, it's the opposite. The chorus is decent I guess, but the music itself (especially the duel between the guitar and violin) is awesome.

I wasn't this interested in anything Anneke has done since Agua de Annique's "Air", back in 2007. Good project!

Anneke is amazing, as usual, but I don't like the music overall, not my kind i guess. A great singer is not enough I guess.

The last song kinda left me wanting for more. It just did not build that climax I was expecting. Not the case with this one. More interesting, and the guitar-violin duet was just awesome. Dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'm a sucker for songs such as this one.
