This version of Within Temptation's "Somewhere". Sharon's duet with guest Anneke Van Giersbergen (ex The Gathering) is the most awesome thing ever. [YT]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR_mBh5mqok[/YT]
^ Is that played on some sort of middle eastern stringed instrument? I always get a middle eastern vibe from that version, at least in the beginning.
My first thought was sitar, but it didn't sound "clean" enough to be one (to me). But yeah, still a great way to arrange the song for the situation, as odd as the choice was.
