the next one is called not strong enough by apocalyptica

apocalyptica - not strong enough (with lyrics) - YouTube

hope u enjoy 'em

 

I'm sure this has been debated endlessly but I'll put my thoughts in here as well and compare it to the original by Deep Purple:

I haven't listened to Opeth much as a band. I know I should...but somehow, it's a mental block because someone I don't like recommended them to me. I know I will someday (probably soon). Anyway, I really love the song and I didn't think this was a great cover...to me, a band should stamp their sound on a cover and make it their own (as cliched as it might sound). If I wanted to listen to this version, I would listen to Deep Purple. I'd keep looking for Blackmore's slides on this...and the vocals seem weaker on this (or maybe just different?). I'd much rather listen to someone change it around when they do a cover.

I'm not allowed to listen to this where I live. Damn the first world. Is this the same one:

Apocalyptica Live in Paris 2010 - Not strong enough - YouTube

I thought this was pretty cool the way they did it with cellos(?). I don't like the vocalist much for some reason...he can go high but voicewise, I think he's meh-ish. Overall, that killed the song for me. I really like their cover of Nothing Else Matters though.

The Cranberries - Zombie

 

if u like Sirenia try these :
Lithium and the Lover
In a Manica
First We Take Manhattan

 

what a wicked song! n what beautiful lyrics

You think I'll run, not walk, to you
Why would I want to talk to you?
I want you crawling back to me
Down on your knees, yeah
Like an appendectomy
Sans anesthesia

If you think you can leave the past behind
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can simply press rewind
You must be out of your mind, son
You must be out of your mind

You want what you've turned off turned on
You call it sunset, now it's dawn
You can't go 'round just saying stuff
Because it's pretty
And I no longer drink enough
To think you're witty

You want to kindle that old flame
I don't remember your real name
It must be something scandalous
Lurks in your shadows
If you need a Santa Claus
To buy your gallows

i'll agree with you that i prefer the original by deep purple as well. imo opeth are way better at what they do in their own field and they should've stuck to that. prime example: Opeth - When - YouTube from their 1998 album My Arms, Your Hearse. the dynamics in their sound, use of progressive and folk elements and the atmosphere they create is what set them apart. even though it's part of a concept album the lyrics are still cool to sing along to

@komal
thank you! glad you liked the song :grin: you should check out this one as well, although it's usually more of a man's emotion : : THE MAGNETIC FIELDS - SEDUCED AND ABANDONED. - YouTube

 

hey..am sure the song perfectly qualifies as a woman's emotion too..the lyrics is quite gender neutral..n women do refer their men as 'baby'..as far as i know n women drink too :..very nice n simple song..thanks..nevertheless am referring this song to all the 'devadas' men i know :dance::rock:

Seduced and abandoned and baby makes two,
Baby, abandoned by you
Seduced and abandoned and what can I do?
I think I might drink a few

Seduced with a grin,
I was taken all in
Taken in sin
And in shame
Seduced by a smile,
I walked down the aisle,
Then waited awhile;
No one came...

repeat Chorus

Abandoned to weep
I collapsed in a heap,
Dutifully sleep-
ing all day
Abandoned to die
I did nothing but cry
In my one-ply
Negligee...
repeat Chorus

Yes, I think I might drink a few
And maybe the baby will too

I think everyone needs to listen to this...I just heard this today but I think it is an amazing song. Also, it has such a Sting and the Police feel to it. I might have more of an opinion in a week from now.

 

stumbled upon these guys by pure luck:

Dulaman - Omnia - YouTube

pagan-folk band from the netherlands incorporating musical cultures from many different countries like ireland and persia. enjoy :grin:

 

also, for anyone who heard the previous song (Burn by Neurosis) i'd posted:

Neurosis - Aeon - YouTube

this is from their much older album and portrays a darker, rawer and dissonant side of their sound. a truly shaking experience

 

I love this awsome song 'Feeling Good' and it was originally by Nina simone and later covered many many times..

Nina Simone/ Feeling Good - YouTube -Nina simone,her voice sounds so much like a dude..if a first timer hears it without knowing the artist..the person would automatically assume it to be a guy's voice..nevertheless...powerful voice..n the best version for me

Muse - Feeling Good (Video) - YouTube - muse cover

Michael Bublé - "Feeling Good" [Official Music Video] - YouTube -michael buble cover

Jennifer Hudson - 'Feeling Good' Live on Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve (Dec 31, 2010) - YouTube -jennifer hudson cover

 

^^
I like all three versions of this song...
I'm slightly biased to the Michael Bublé one but it maybe cause i heard that version first

 

hmm..but just a personal opinion..his song video makes no sense at all!! :

 

i personally like Rod stewart a lot
