SONG: BRILLIANT BLUE

TRAILER

Out with a couple of friends of mine at a pub in Canterbury. The live music was fabulous, I found out after the guy playing the guitar is blind. People were totally consumed by the music at points.

"An old soul in a young man's voice" is the headline on the front page of the Los Angeles Times Calendar section. The article is about 26 year old Keaton Simons, whose voice is described as having a "lived-in quality that will echo in our minds and hearts for years to come". Keaton's fascination with music surfaced early. Singing since he could talk and picking up Beethoven on the piano by ear while still in preschool, Keaton finally started his lifetime love affair with the guitar at age 12. As a 17 year old out of high school, Keaton started thinking about college. He decided on The Evergreen State College, located in Olympia, Washington. The area, which has become known as a fertile breeding ground for music and art, proved perfect to set in motion his initiation into the immense world of music. It was there that Keaton started writing songs. He dove in headfirst, taking on courses ranging from 20th century classical composition to Indonesian gamelan music to jazz and quite a lot in between. Keaton's years at Evergreen not only introduced him to diverse global music but also taught him to incorporate everything into his own sensibilities. Major record labels have accused Keaton of being too diverse to contain.

The second installment of our Live Bands episodes with Keaton Simons.

Lyrics: You were tall dark handsome 18/M/looking or fun You made three hundred dollars a day Taking surveys You were my honey bun You emailed me every 3 or 4 minutes I surely felt loved Do I want a bigger penis? Will, I errr, uhhh, I'm sorry, what? So I started to get suspicious What were you hiding? Did you have a mistress? Why were you lying? And that's when I caught you Right I the act Seeing other women 5,000 to be exact So this is where it ends The jig is up Step away from my MySpace I've had enough Chorus: 'cause you, you ain't gonna spam my heart anymore Yes you, you ain't gonna spam my heart anymore I wont ttyl or brb, just get the hell away from me Please, don't spam my heart anymore I'm weak, don't spam my heart anymore I won't ttyl or brb, please get the hell away from me I wanted to confront you Give you a piece of my mind But it was all for naught, you're a thoughtless spambot Spawned from from cyberland Still I can't help but reminise On the good times we had had You were so seductive I clicked on every add But all those times are through I'm totally blocking you!

Here are the words to this song! I just had to know!<br><br>The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart Made foundations quiver Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break And I shiver... The leftover tallow just doesn?t contain All the right answers Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom An untuched snow turns red Innocence dies This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be

OMG!! The guitarist is so funny the way he introduces the songs! He does this in The Phantom Agony as well....LOL....AWESOME!

This is my favorite song by Epica! Here are the lyrics.<br><br>Can't you hear me screaming, once again? Voices you can't hear Because you are consumed and incontent With everlasting greed Don't you see me on my hands and knees? Begging and bleeding You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds But will you never see? Always wanting what your eyes can't see Needing what your arms can't reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can't hear Feeling what your hands can't touch Thinking you're incomplete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Sacrificed my life to be with you Why did you leave me? There's nothing more from me you can consume Cause you are incomplete Always wanting what your eyes can't see Needing what your arms can't reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can't hear Feeling what your hands can't touch Thinking you're incomplete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Everlasting need Would you please? Answer me and Make me complete Everlasting greed Would you please? Set me free Fulfill all my needs and make me complete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Never again will I be with you No promise eternal carrying us through I finally made up my mind this time This is the end, I've drawn the line Never enough to devour your greed

Simone Simons, line-up is completed by guitarist Ad Sluijter, drummer Jeroen Simons, bassist Yves Huts, and keyboard player Coen Janssen. The name was later changed to Epica, inspired by Kamelot's eponymous album. Epica then assembled a choir (made up of two men and four women) and a string orchestra (three violins, two violas, two cellos and an upright bass) to play along with them.
