Within Temptation – What have you done (album: The Heart of Everything 2007)

This song is by the Dutch rock band Within Temptation. It is a very powerful song, it is pure symphonic metal and it's just beautiful. My hubby used this song for a snowboarding movie that he did after a ski vacation with his mates, it suited perfectly to the atmosphere they were in, coming down fast the NZ mountain slopes and the song playing in the background, an awesome song for extreme sport. I especially like the combination of both vocalists, such a perfect harmony! The lyrics are quite meaningless.

So far I've joined 4 ski trips with my hubby , I've tried snowboarding and it was quite hard but there is someting quite fun about it. The only issue is that I'm scared of heights and high open spaces and you can find plenty of it on snowy mountains, those bloody chair lifts were just a nightmare. when we drove up to mount hutt in NZ, my Hubby had to stop the car and put on the chains because it was heavily snowing. I had to get out of the car in the middle of a road that was so high and open and there was a great depth on the right side of it. I was so scared , I started screaming and crying the friend that was with us was shocked by my reaction.at some point I had to walk on this road to get back to the car and because it was quite far I completely froze. If I ever get rid of these fears I think I'll be able to enjoy snowboarding more because it's quite fun! I did snowboard a little with my hubby and it was great, I was less scared when he was around. He bought me all the latest and best equitment so I'll feel comfortable and maybe more enthusiastic about it. Maybe I'll give it another go in the future ;) anyway, check out this wonderful song...
