Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about The Heart Of Everything (page 1/1) ------ performed by Within Temptation A Song About Courage... | Reviewer: Detective M. | 7/16/09 I love this song, and it's rapidly becoming one of my favorites! I just downloaded it yesterday and I've already played it a bazillion times. It has a very personal significance to me, since I have a friend who is in the hospital right now with serious diabetes-related complications. She's one of the most courageous people I know and if you want to know what epic heroism really looks like, she's living it as far as I'm concerned. She's Aragorn at the Black Gate, staring death in the eye without blinking. I think of her whenever I hear this song. Awesome work, Within Temptation! Tempt me Into Peace | Reviewer: The Poet | 7/13/09 I think this song is great but I personally don't care for it that much. Within Temptation is the only band that can calm me. It takes some of my restlessness away. I've tried listening to soothing and relaxing flutes and other Celtic instruments. All it does is make me want to shatter the cds into a million pieces, bury them, and then dance on their grave like a mad person... Okay, maybe not that much but you get the idea. I love or like all Within Temptation songs and I'm just starting to really like Deceiver of Fools. In time, The Heart of Everything might warm up to me. Powerful and awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/30/08 It's interesting that some people think this song has a 2-person view, and I actually prefer to look at it that way now. Sharon is amazing as per usual in this song, and the band plays as amazingly as ever. These lyrics make me cry a little (somewhat more than a little) every time I hear the song because myself and a few friends of mine know what it's like to lose a friend, and I'm not a crier. This is a little better than "Memories" in that the music is a little "harsher" and shows the actual brutality of sorrow, and what it can do to you, but it's less optimistic than "Memories". In the official music video for "Memories", the character who represents Sharon walks away from the house where something tragic happened, leaving part of herself behind-the grieving part. In "The Heart of Everything"... no such thing as moving on. "We'll win back our freedom They can't break what's inside..." Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/21/08 The way she's able to interchange within the vocals like that, wow. I'm betting it IS Sharon singing both the lower and the higher vocals, obviously. I do think the song has a two person view, though. The change in the voice only further enhances that view. One is the dying person, and the other, is possibly encouraging him on, another person, to keep him from giving up. Wow. Let's all say it together: WOW. | Reviewer: ? | 3/16/08 Wow. Let us all say it in unsion: WOOOOOOOW. This is a sad, heartbreaking song. To me it seems that even though it's all Sharon singing it, that there are three specific people in the song: 1.) One who is close to death-the one whose words are "Now I know I won't make it" and "Stay with me now I'm facing| My last solemn hour..." 2.) One who is watching Person 1, trying to help them but failing ("Open up your eyes|Save yourself from fading away now") 3.) One who has caused the death of Person 1. They never speak, but in the last two choruses, Person 2 is speaking to them, telling them to open up their eyes to what they've done. Yeah, weird, I know, but it could happen. One of the best songs by this band ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/29/08 Sharon (for the non-WT fans, Sharon Adel is the vocalist for WT) is truly amazing and soars beyond expectations with this spellbinding song. This is an amazing song with a striking message for our time. Fantastic song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/29/08 One can never be quite sure if it's Sharon or one of the guys singing the lower lyrics but I say it's Sharon. "Heart of Everything" is chilling and eye-opening- and yet another point to argue that Within Temptation is NOT against God or for God (and so on, though if they're more anything they're slightly for God). This song seems to me like a ballad of the life of a Christian in Rome before the time of Constantine. Of course, it's also a warning to this time. Add Your New Review About The Song
