Within Temptation

Premiered Dec 29, 2025

Sometimes the best moments happen unplanned. When our paths crossed again with our Dutch friend Leonie Meijer, a casual conversation about music quickly turned into something special. Almost spontaneously, we decided to record a song together, and “Toy Soldiers” by Martika felt like the perfect choice. This cover is all about connection and the joy of making music in the moment. Stripped back and intimate, it’s a different take on a timeless song, recorded purely for the love of it. Sharon: “Our paths crossed again with our Dutch friend Leonie Meijer and as we were talking about music we somehow spontaneously decided to record something and ‘Toy Soldiers’ was the song we decided to cover for fun. We hope you’ll like it. Enjoy.” Sit back, listen, and enjoy this special collaboration 🫶✨ 💬 Join the conversation Let us know what this acoustic version means to you in the comments and in our community tab - now available on our channel! 🔔 Subscribe & stay connected Subscribe to the Within Temptation channel & community and turn on notifications for new music, videos and exclusive content.
