*This was filmed some years before the COVID-19 crisis.*

This is the official music video for my fan cover version of "Solitary Ground" by the Dutch symphonic metal band @epica.

It also samples the original orchestral version of the song, which even contains the whispered vocals of @amandasomerville (@ExitEdenMusic).

LYRICS
Living at different places
Evading into various spaces
My compass has broken; I'm losing the way
An ongoing madness has led me astray

My past breathes down my neck
And it seems now that all I can do is
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead
A fading illusion now plagues me instead

In me, there's still a place that fulfills me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

I follow elusive paths
Oh, it seems they've been written in stone
And the door to a new life is closing so fast
Burning the bridges will not bring me back

In me, there's still a place that fulfills me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

Spoken words:
EN: I know, that deep within me, there is a place, where I can hide from my past.
ES: Sé que en lo profundo de mí, hay un lugar donde puedo esconderme de mi pasado.
FR: Je sais qu'au plus profond de moi, il y a un endroit où je peux me cacher de mon passé.
NL: Ik weet dat er, diep in mij, een plaats is, waar ik me voor mijn verleden kan verbergen.
DE: Ich weiß, dass tief in mir ein Ort ist, wo ich mich vor meiner Vergangenheit verstecken kann.

In me, there's still a place that fulfills me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

I know that in me, there's still a place that fulfills me
A sanctity here, that I call home and run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground
Or am I just wasting time?
