Versions

[edit]

The song re-appeared as a shortened remix on the band's The Dance (EP). The single version can also be found as a bonus track on the German (2003) and UK (2004) re-releases of the album Mother Earth, while the classical version can be found on the special digipak version of the album.

Live performance

[edit]

Like the other songs from the album Enter, "Restless" isn't performed regularly by the band. A regular live performance can be found on the DVD and bonus CD of Mother Earth Tour. A live performance in a special acoustic setting with cello at their gig at the Beursgebouw in Eindhoven was released on DVD with Black Symphony (2008) and on CD as a B-side for the band's single "Utopia" (2009). It's also played during the Sanctuary Tour (2012).
