Oh, dear Lord! This Dutch hard rock band is good at triggering the tears.


  • "Memories" is probably the best known.
  • "Say My Name" is about a relative with Alzheimer's. The lyrics combined with Sharon's vocals really does it...
  • More significant ones are "All I Need" and "Our Farewell" (My child, see the sadness in your eyes...)
  • "Somewhere".

"Wherever you are, I won't stop searching, Whatever it takes, Need to know..."

  • "Forgiven" is even worse. The person being addressed in the song committed suicide.
  • "Swan Song" and "Pale." The song sounds happiest when she is about to give in to death...
  • "Frozen" (especially in the music video) and "Bittersweet" also qualify.
  • What Have You Done, to a degree.
