Floor Jansen - 'Invincible' (official audio)

Out in a rain
It’s never-ending, pouring
Washes away
Everything that you were
Trapped inside an empty shell
A body yours no longer
Trapped inside a memory
Of a life once was

Out in the rain
Stronger now
Stronger than all of the pain
Broken but beautiful
All this time
You are invincible

Master the pain
The cradle of your story
Changed by disdain
Starting life once more
Pushed into recovery
The choice no longer yours
Pushed to self-discovery
Heal your heart

Out in the rain
Stronger now
Stronger than all of the pain
Broken but beautiful
Your devil's bane
Is yours to end now
‘Cause all this time
You are invincible

You are much stronger
You are much stronger
All this time you are invincible

Out in the rain
Stronger now
Stronger than all of the pain
Broken but beautiful
Back on the shore
Stronger now
Stronger than ever before
Broken but beautiful
All this time
You are invincible

And all this time
You were invincible

Η Floor Jansen (Floor Elisabeth Maria Dahl το πλήρες ονοματεπώνυμό της) δεν νομίζω ότι χρειάζεται ιδιαίτερες συστάσεις. Τραγουδίστρια των Nightwish, Star One, Northward και πρώην των After Forever (τι δισκάρα το "Decipher"!), ReVamp κλπ είναι μία από τις καλύτερες φωνές που κυκλοφορούν εκεί έξω.

Μετά από 23 έτη που την ακούμε σε δίσκους συγκροτημάτων (πρώτος της δίσκος το ντεμπούτο των After Forever "Prison of Desire" το 2.000) έφθασε η στιγμή να κυκλοφορήσει κάτι προσωπικό. Η αρχή έγινε με μία σειρά από singles που θα οδηγήσουν σε full length album. "Paragon" ο τίτλος και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει τον πρώτο ανοιξιάτικο μήνα (24 Μαρτίου 2023).

Το νέο της single τιτλοφορείται "Invincible", έχει ως θέμα την διαταραχή μετατραυματικού στρες, με την Floor να μας λέει σχετικά:

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common mental health condition that affects more than just veterans. The disorder can affect any age group with women being twice as likely to develop PTSD than men.

1 in 13 people will develop PTSD in their lifetime and are 3 to 5 times more likely to have a depressive disorder, higher risk of suicide and 46,4% higher chance of addiction. Worldwide prevalence of PTSD in the general population is around 3,9%. Estimated 354 million adults, globally suffer from PTSD.

I am thrilled to share my new single, "Invincible," with all of you. Originally written specifically for the Invictus Games, this song holds a very special place in my heart.

As someone who has witnessed the effects of PTSD in my close circle, I wanted to create a powerful anthem that brings hope and strength to those who are struggling with this condition. 'Invincible' is a song about resilience, about pushing through difficult times, and about finding the strength to start again.

I believe that this message is one that will resonate with many, as PTSD affects 1 in 13 people in their lifetime, and women are twice as likely to develop it as men. I hope that 'Invincible' will remind you that even in the darkest of times, there is always the possibility of coming out stronger.

You are not alone, and no matter how difficult the journey may be, there is always hope for healing and self-discovery. My debut album, Paragon, is releasing this March 24, 2023!
