Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dude I like, I hope we can get together someday
Since the stars in the sky and the clouds aligned
I have realised you should
Take me home
Let me lead the way
Fingers crossed my obsession with you is tameable
Best thing for me is to be in your grip before night falls
Since the stars in the sky and the clouds aligned
I have realised you should
So alone
Give me some kind of understanding
All alone
Give me even the slightest sedation
Take me home
Let me lead the way

Good music is good music, it doesn't matter if it's metal, punk, ska or pop. Her voice is still epic.

And I'm from Finland. Many of us finnish folk know her because of the Gathering. Our most famous band globally is Nightwish and the Gathering and Anneke were in the middle of the 90's one the big reasons this female fronted heavymetal scene got popular. They, alongside with early 90's gothic/doom metal with this "beauty and the beast" image paved way for it. Unfortunately The Gathering didn't suit that image, but Anneke is still often mentioned as "mother" of those more famous singers.

There's a relation to gothic just in your fantasies.

Three days and nights ago, she was unknown to me. Now, it feels like being obsessed from the melody and the fine lyrics. Her style is amazing and only reminds of the best in rock. For the time being, I am not sure whether she can support a full fledged career, as yet her style being unique may prove to be catalytic to her presence in the market...

Her vocal discipline is quite awesome(especially in her collaborations with Devin Townsend). Her style is also quite good :3

I can't stop falling in love with her voice

Anneke is an incredibly versatile singer and I've only just come across her talents recently but the one thing that makes her talent even more grand is the fact that no matter what style of music she sings in she smiles while singing ! Anneke's talent is only surpassed by her ability to smile while singing!!
