"Utopia" is the first single from the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation's live album An Acoustic Night at the Theatre. The song features guest vocals from Chris Jones, a British singer. The single was released on 23 October 2009. [2]
Alistair Lawrence of BBC Music called the track "nothing more than a custom-built acoustic ballad, but ensures their fans go home having heard something new". [3]
The video was posted on Within Temptation's official YouTube page on 28 September 2009. It is directed by Oscar Verpoort. The video shows a man walking around a city witnessing various people committing crimes, such as a man stealing a blind woman's wallet and a prostitute being picked up by an older man. He saves a child from almost being hit by a car when his mother wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. As the boy looks back, there is nobody there, suggesting that the man was an angel-like apparition. The band is also seen performing in a run down building. It is also the last video to feature drummer Stephen van Haestregt who departed the band in 2010.
