Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan means 'Death Makes an Artist'. Tuomas: "I decided to make it a ballad with an orchestra, but without drums or guitars. I had doubts about it until the very end, and just in case, I had also written the lyrics in English. But in the end, it did add an exotic touch to the album, and it's a sort of a tribute to our Finnish fans who have been with us from the start. It's also a beautiful song, with the cello solo that I still think is highlight of the whole album. You can practically feel the weight of past centuries. The solo was played with a genuine 17th century baroque Stradivarius, and I've heard that the instrument is worth at least two million pounds". Tarja later revealed that the song has a special meaning for ther. "It's been wonderful to see how people all around the world quiet down to listen to it and light up their lighters. And even though there's nothing special happening on-stage - there's just me, singing alone - the song always manages to create this incredibly beautiful atmosphere. I get to sing in Finnish, and as we're like musical ambassadors of Finland in a way, I think the song is very important. I've done classical concerts abroad, and after singing something in Finnish, people have often told me that they think our language is very beautiful. So it's very important to me, and I think it's good to keep in mind where we come from."
Nightwish fans should celebrate and enjoy the End of An Era concert. Yes, that era ended there, but look how much they did. December '97 their first gig in their hometown Kitee and 8 years later end their world tour in Helsinki in front of 12-14,000 fans. Obviously sold out Hartwall Arena. As Tuomas himself later said, they trained for 9 years for that day and they put everything into it.
There are lyrics in English available...after reading that one just cries when understand it. I think you are right about the backstage issue. In every song of the Once album there is that word also in this.
One of the few Nightwish songs in Finnish, maybe the only one completely. “Kuolema tekee taiteilijan" is Finnish for "Death Makes an Artist" . It was released as a single in Finland and Japan, the last single with Tarja in the band.
This song was played at my aunt`s funeral in the spring at my request. I have asked my children that they play it at mine, when the time comes. With Tarja singing it, of course. The line: let me become what my child thinks I am, hits especially deep and moves me to tears. Her beautiful, warm voice is the perfect voice to interpret the message of this song. Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain, Only once did I see my daydream, En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut. I didn't feel (myself) small under the stars. Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit, Once my cradle got bars, vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan. as a prisoner I am writing a letter from there. Luojani, luoksesi, anna minun tulla siksi, miksi lapseni minua luulee. My Creator, to you, let me come, for what my child thinks I am. (Or: My Creator, to you, let me become, what my child thinks I am. - both translations are accurate.) Sinussa maailman kauneus, In you the beauty of the world, josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan. death from which made me an artist. Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee. My Creator, to you, let me come, for what my child thinks I am. (Or: My Creator, to you, let me become, what my child thinks I am.) Oman taivaan tänne loin, My own heaven I created here, anna minun päästä pois. let me get away.
Thank you so much for the translation!!! I have always loved this song and The language is so beautiful but I never knew the lyrics and they are also beautiful and sad
THANKS for some TARJAWISH !!!!! Just watched TARJA'S live Instagram chat today !!!!!! Damn she is one of the coolest persons on the planet , and so funny too !!!!! 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
So, now a new subscriber.. It takes a little courage to react to a song in Finnish.. A beautiful, wistful song. Deep Nightwish💓👋 Added: Sorry, forgot to put direct translation to songs title is 'Death makes an artist'
No you can't change the past. I am sure the mood backstage was tense, but they did what they did. The only bright spot is that Tarja went on to have a wonderful solo career and Nightwish carried on and we fans get to have it all plus these wonderful videos..
Rough translation Only once I got to see my dream/hope didn't feel tiny under stars. Once I got bars to my cradel as a prisoner I'm there writing a letter. My god/creator to you let me come what my child thinks I am. In you the worlds beauty from what death made me an artist. My god/creator to you let me come what my child thinks I am. My god/creator to you let me come what my child thinks I am. My own heaven I create here, let me get away. My own heaven I create here, let me get away.
You should watch '"Ever Dream" 2005 in that End of an Era in Helsinki Finland. Within appox. 40 sec from the beginning Tuomas is collapsed mentally and stops playing. He covers his face with hands. Tarja is confused.. but as we know she did not anticipate what would happen after the show. That tragic moment pierced my heart.
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍🤘
Check out documentary "Nightwish -A day before Tomorrow (incl. The Open Letter) in full". You will see why all that went that way. Greetings from Finland.
their side don't make much sense, specially when years later they did the same to Anette. the problem lies within the band. Tarja was just taking care of herself and her voice. Yeah some things were said by both but in the end the ones that did the most shitty thing twice is the band, they trashed her and that was low really low
The way they fired her was unforgivable. Even if she had been a total b* it wouldn't have been ok. I can't understand why they couldn't sit down with her face to face and tell her she had to leave. Why make it a public spectacle? Imagine if you got fired and your boss would just announce it in front of everyone while derogating your character. There's a reason why that would be illegal.
@@Dulkh4n Fans in USA tour shout Anette out. Anette did not handle it. Not band. Male Yoko Ono (Tarjas husband) was reason why Tarja said Nightwish need her more than she need Nightwish. It is ok and maybe right to say but spirit of band was gone. The best what they did was kick Tarja out. Check out document ...
@@jroutasula5250 when you see how the react to those things you need to start thinking what the band did to get it to that point... see the video when Tarja was attacked in south America and see how the band reacted. see how drunk they were constantly back then and how badly the handle both dismissals. the guys have or had problems you can't block the sun with one finger
@@annarantanen3813 They did it that way because they are a bunch of cowards. None of the band helped Tarja when she was attacked on stage, just a bunch of cowards.
If I am supposed to sympathize with that nest of vipers who were her "friends" and bandmates because it was hard to stab her in the back, sorry I can't do that. And as far as I'm concerened it was the end of NW. A thing long dead before I found it.
Brent, Brent,Brent...You silly boy. If Nightwish were dead, you would have put it past you and come to terms with it. Just like Tarja has about that incident. Your endless stream of snarky remarks about current Nightwish in many a comments section just proves that they are very much alive to you. As a matter of fact, you NEED them. To hate, to whine, to bitch about. It is your destiny, to be this petulant spoiled brat of a Tarja stan. Congrats! It defines you as a person, and as a true Tarjaholic. Go on then, prove me wrong, by actually growing the f**k up, and turning a new leaf. I sure don't see that happening. Not a chance....
This is a VERY DARK spot in Nightwish history.And I can never understand how all her bandmates could be that cruel. And how no one was there to tell them that firing her that way WAS A BAD IDEA. You just don't back stab your band member that way. No matter what she did or didn't do. It should have never happened that way. But bridges had to be burnt profoundly.Nightwish screwed it up and the reason why it's still brought up is because it was all left in the air without the closure.And people tend to need closure for things. And when you are wrong you should apologize.No one did. Except for Marko YEARS after. Apparently nobody had very good people skills back then.And then they fucked it up with Anette too. Not in a scale than with Tarja but nevertheless. Anette don't want anything to do with them because of the way they treated her. This she said in 2019.Nightwish doesn't have good history with their females. Hopefully they are smarter now that they are older. And no doubt Anette and Tarja did things that irritated the rest of them, they are not blameless. BUT you always HAVE A CHOICE which way you let go of your band member. Nightwish made bad choices TWO TIMES. And I think there won't be a third.Floor has been singing with male band members all her career, she can handle them and Nightwish seems to have been in a very happy place long time now.
Nightwish made bad choices three times. They fired Sami via letter, too. I know most people overlook it because Marko is so popular and Sami didn’t really vibe but it’s still fucked up how they handled it.
@@cinnabonbons I didn't know that. Seems to me they had a method to their madness, unfortunately.Nightwish is pretty healthy band if compared to some others but when they fuck up, it's SO embarrassing, basic stupidity and without people skills.The worst part is: that most of those could be fixed with a genuine: "I'm sorry." but that has been out of the question. It is what it is. I'm just glad it's such a smooth sailing now.
People skills tend to go out the window when you're angry at someone for a long time. You could say they got to the point and didn't sugarcoat it. Sound familiar?
Then just be quiet. Just stop commenting on what you DON‘T like. Nobody does that on other groups, this only happens on Nighwish reaction videos. Nobody‘s interested to hear that. It‘s just annoying!
Why not do your own Nightwish reaction channel, then you can react to Floor videos 24/7. But other people like Tarja as well as Floor, so just stop bitching already. You are not being FORCED to watch this reaction, move on and watch a Floor reaction
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍👍🤘
I understand you, because for my part, I only like one Nightwish performance from Floor's time, and that's Swanheart from Buenos Aires, that's the song where Floor is at her best.
Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan means 'Death Makes an Artist'.

Merveilleuse voix de Tarja !!! Heureusement pour nous elle a continué à chanter pour notre plus grand bonheur !!! Merci pour cette réaction !!! 👏👏👏
I really would love to see you react to another of Tarja Solo albums, her last one is particulary good. cheers
Amazing Tarjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I just look this. I feel you man 😔Tarja did not know, whats coming. Tuomas did. It's heart breaking. I grow up whit this band whit tarja.
