They did a video of a cover song? What, wasn't any of their songs good enough? I find that to be super lame. Video is very well done though, and the song is good, it just doesn't feel like a 'flagship song' to me. Their other videos have always made want to get the album - Elegy, My Destiny, Into Your Light... This one I keep thinking that Blind Guardian has already done this and I have the song already. T_T

Now that is a very pleasant song and video... makes me wish to catch up with that band once again for I haven't followed what they've been doing these last years...

I find her voice too over the music, I mean the volume of her voice.. like an usual pop song, I prefer the original or the BG's one

I do agree, totally. The guitars should've been more loud. Otherwise quite likeable, but I'm such a great fan of the original song that Maggie Reilly did with Oldfield, that as much as I like Liv's voice, she's about 20% as good as Maggie's was, and the whole performance as well. Then again, it's hard to fill Oldfield's shoes no matter how good of a musicians decides to cover his songs. Video is cute and watchable though

You think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was a man. But it was nothing to me but blinding.

Nice video, nice song. Nothing to be impressed by. I am more impatient to hear their entirely new material written by themselves.

I do keep on wondering, though - won't Leaves' Eyes ever get tired of writing songs about vikings and stuff? :

Yeah, far better. This sounds a bit too monotone compared to their version. Probably cos of her singing style... it kinda lacks variation, its too samey.

I prefer both the original and Blind Guardian's version. This version is somehow weak compared to the previous versions.
