Song: "Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)" || Artist: Within Temptation || http://youtu.be/IOYgWyZ4Qz8 ||
Comments: Good morning everyone, and welcome to Stuck In My Skull's last (regular) post for 2013. I'll probably write a retrospective later so I won't waste too much of your time getting all wishy-washy and sentimental here. Today's song popped into my head out of nowhere, and I'm quite honestly surprised that I never blogged about it before. Back in the good old/bad old days of people using playlist.com, I had a playlist of songs that would later shape my tastes in metal, slavishly copied from my first metal playlist on Pandora. If I'm not mistaken, this song was on it. It's symphonic metal at its finest, and I remember the vocals of Sharon den Adel blowing me away when I first heard them. Honestly, they still blow me away. Sharon is without a doubt one of the most talented and recognizable voices in symphonic metal. Give this song a listen, and it'll blow you away too. Enjoy, and have a happy New Year!

Comments: Hey everyone! It's Miriah here. I'm bringing something different to the table than I usually do. I guess I can still call it foreign because this band is from the Netherlands. Anyway! I came across this song on iHeartRadio today and thought the song was great. This band is new to me and I'm going to start listening to more of their things. Once I've nailed the lyrics to this song I can guarantee I'll be singing it. While watching the video, I recommend paying attention at around 3:40 because there is an awesome guitar interlude. Anyhow, please take a listen and enjoy!

Comments: Hey all! Amanda here! Rather than go looking for new music for today's post I went back through some of the older stuff I own but haven't listened to in quite some time. Chris introduced me to Within Temptation when I was going through a difficult period awhile back and now they're honestly one of my favorite symphonic metal bands. "Memories" comes off their third album The Silent Force and is
decidedly one of Within Temptation's slower, more somber songs but as always the
wonderful Sharon den Adel sings it beautifully. The combination of her
vocals and seeing the music video made me fall in love with this song
and the band all over again. Both are excellent in my opinion.Enjoy!

Symphonic Metal Week, Parts 3 and 4
Song 1: "Bless the Child"
Artist: Nightwish
http://youtu.be/8Pjh0visgJI
Comments: Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, folks. To make it up to you all, two songs today! The first one is by Nightwish featuring their original vocalist, Tarja Turunen, who sounds nothing like this their new vocalist (Anette Olzon). (I mention this because the debate over the comparative merits of the vocalists regularly ignites youtube comment threads into flame wars, and is quite heated.) I have heard this song described in terms similar to a very good movie soundtrack. Go listen!
Song 2: "Our Solemn Hour"
Artist: Within Temptation
http://youtu.be/JwWRUVVadQg
Comments: And after you listen to that song, take a listen to this one. Slightly less cinematic, this song has (if I hear this correctly) a full orchestra and chorus behind the metallic instrumentation. This song blew me away when I heard it-- hopefully it will rock your world too.

Comments: I love this song. It might be that I'm a sucker for the combo of operatic-style lyrics over crazy metal instrumentation, or maybe that I just like the sound, but whatever the reason, I love this song, and hopefully you will too.
