Well, she used to be like this cause tuomas pushed her to the limit. She spoke about it several times, how now she's free to sing however she wants without trying to achieve this darker tone. I don't like her voice these days, but if she's happier...
Let's all thank Howard Blake for composing this masterpiece for "The Snowman " in 1982 I bet the band members watched the movie as kids and listened to the song in the radio mid 80s. At least Toumas Holopainen state in an interview that it is his all time favourite piece of music.
Pretty freaking awesome, isn’t it??? To quote a reactor, “They Nightwished the hell out of it”. Like you, I’ve always loved the original…but when I found this about 10 years ago I was dumbfounded.
There are no words to describe how much this totally rocks the heck out of my heart. This both beautiful and groovy to extremes at the same time. That almost never happens all at the same time with any song.
Well, we still have goddess Simone in metal. 🙃 Just in case some of you have forgotten how gorgeous her voice still is, here's a little reminder: 2021 - Epica - In All Conscience (subtitulado al español) [Omega Alive] 2022 - Apocalyptica & Epica - Rise Again (Official video) 2023 - Epica - Unleashed (Live at the AFAS Live) And one from 2006 with "baby Simone" - Epica - Trois Vierges with ROY KHAN (live 2006)
Agree! This is definitely the definitive version of the song and the way I enjoy hearing it played and sung. The up-tempo galloping finish just adds so much to the song. And the fact that Tarja is singing in a style that is difficult enough in a normal setting and to see how she matches the pace and intensity with her voice and remains pitch perfect... this was definitely the high watermark of the band. They were on top of the world.
The thing to consider is that Floor is an exceptional singer but Nightwish of this time, songs were literally MADE for Tarja´s voice. Thus ths makes it unique and unmatched
I wish I were there... I love that type of concert, where a big bands played before they get globaly known. Those concerts are the best and people who were there were so lucky!!!
Muzika.....govor duse, samo je treba cuti, da bi tijelo odreagovalo.....lijepo....tuzno........?????? Divnoooo!!!! Pozdravcic veliki za mog dragog Bojana.....zelim divan ostatak dana:-):-):-)

Please forgive my late response, I am very,very sorry I missed it!. Exquisite Nightwish, Beautiful angel Tarja!. It's Wonderful, and also your Wise & Impressive comment!. Thank you so much!.
This is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes! I am more of a Floor Jansen fan but NO ONE can do this song like Tarja!! Nightwish is my favorite band of all time!!❤
Estoy escuchando esto en un cyber y se me caen las lagrimas. Tremendo lo que me produce este tema!!! Y verlo a Sami Vanska ahi en el bajo, es recordar los inicios de la banda. PARA MÍ, la banda mas completa y perfecta de la historia de la musica-
Comparto la parte de llorar en un ciber y fue cuando a mis 11 años acompañada de mí hermano fui para tener información de nw y cuando entre a la pag oficial me encontré con Anette y habían sacado su primer disco con ella , no entendía nada (la primera vez que tenia info de nw actualizada) llore y llore , llegue a casa a le conté a mis papás quien eran fans de nw con tarja , ese día se sintió como un duelo en casa 😢
Lembro quando lançaram esse DVD,meu irmão comprou e assistimos até não poder mais! A qualidade é muito boa, muito bem produzido! Meu irmão tem ele até hoje! perfeit
We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy Mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
I'd like to give the drummer some credit. He is truly a master of his craft. If you are familiar with Ghost Love Score, Floor pays homage to him at the end of the live version of that song. Great job to all in this band.
WOW to sing English as a non native language the fontmen (lead singer) NAILED it! WOW! The the lead guitar s a backup - WOW! You don't hear this anymore in American rock and that is sad.
nightwish sounds good with floor but.... BUT....THIS OLD PERFORMANCE REMINDS ME ABOUT ONE VOICE...THE ONLY ONE TARJA....THAT COMBINATION WAS MAGNIFICENT
Greatest version eveeeeeeeeeer!!!!! Somebody still listening in this pandemic times? :-)))))))
homeoffice at january 2021, Paraguay
Me,,,,I listen !!❤All the time. I LOVE this song
Yeah 🤘😎🤘😎🤘
Coming back here everytime.......
February 2021, Netherlands
this is not music ,
this is magic :))
It is both.
This was true Nightwish.
With Tarja we have the real Nightwish; I cannot listen to Floor.
Incredible that after decades you guys are still rolling in your own filth. Grow the fuck up already.
Tarja is an angel! Only angels can sing like that. What an amazing performance by the whole band! Epic!
She's the best. I love her so much. Her voice is unique. The best nightwish 🥰🥰
Live performances really shows the true level of a vocalist.
Tarja is just a strait up pro. The pitch precision is mindblowing.
The pitch precision is amazing. I'm agree with you
Agreed!
Well, she used to be like this cause tuomas pushed her to the limit. She spoke about it several times, how now she's free to sing however she wants without trying to achieve this darker tone. I don't like her voice these days, but if she's happier...

She sounds better live than in a studio...and she sounds pretty damn good recorded!
This is my favorite song with Tarja. Sleeping sun comes next in line. This performance here though, it deserves awards.
We watch The Snowman every year and I love the song Walking In The Air from the movie. I never knew Nightwish had their own version of it. Love it. ❤
Pretty freaking awesome, isn’t it??? To quote a reactor, “They Nightwished the hell out of it”. Like you, I’ve always loved the original…but when I found this about 10 years ago I was dumbfounded.

Exactly my thoughts as I bought the Album Oceanborn back 21 years ago! Still kicking!
I love nightwish!
Doesn't matter if it with Tarja, Anette or Floor. I think they are all great!
Изначальный состав великой группы!
The queen of metal i miss her
You should listen her solo metal albums and her classical and xmas too! Tarja still stunning wonderful
For ever tarja
She's still alive lol. I enjoyed her Together at Home instagram live shows.
+1😇
Well, we still have goddess Simone in metal. 🙃
Just in case some of you have forgotten how gorgeous her voice still is,
here's a little reminder:
2021 - Epica - In All Conscience (subtitulado al español) [Omega Alive]
2022 - Apocalyptica & Epica - Rise Again (Official video)
2023 - Epica - Unleashed (Live at the AFAS Live)
And one from 2006 with "baby Simone" - Epica - Trois Vierges with ROY KHAN (live 2006)
That beautiful song in combination with the Nightwish sound and Tarja's voice, match made in heaven. 🥳🥰🫶🙏🙏
Underrated song! And this version is so much better than the original! The ending with that doublebass flows perfect
Agree! This is definitely the definitive version of the song and the way I enjoy hearing it played and sung. The up-tempo galloping finish just adds so much to the song.

Nothing beats the original but this is a masterclass of what you can do with the right talents. Brilliant version.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen.
@@Destin65 They are still fantastic.
A voice like no other.
god damn, that was a true nightwish. I still remember when I got a cassette with Oceanborn, back in 1999 :D
Wow, that was amazing. I discovered this band too late and never got to see Tarja live. I wish I had been there.
I feel you 😢
This one is CRAZY AWESOME for Tarja's voice!
The thing to consider is that Floor is an exceptional singer but Nightwish of this time, songs were literally MADE for Tarja´s voice. Thus ths makes it unique and unmatched
She is not exceptional singer. Actually she ruined the old songs.
Except not this song lol. It's a cover.
NW didn’t write this
@@Finnochka *"Ruined" ??? You can not ruin songs of Tuomas Holopainen.*
@@NicholasCorvin I could ruin any song by singing it. Nightwish or not.
that guitar solo, that amazing voice, incredible, unbelievable
This is 1 of My all time Favorite songs ever !!!!!!!!!!
The glory years of Nightwish. This music will be in my life forever.
Her voice gives me the chills is beautiful.
Walking in the Air is one of my favourite Nightwish songs, and this live performance is beautiful!
Original is from Aled Jones, Nightwish is doing a cover.
@@agauerm Wasn't it that guy with russian accent first and then shortly after they changed to Aled Jones?
@@agauerm? The sonf is composed by Howard Blake
@@agauerm Not quite! It's from the animated film the SNOWMAN by the Englishman Raymond Briggs.
I wish I were there... I love that type of concert, where a big bands played before they get globaly known. Those concerts are the best and people who were there were so lucky!!!
How can thi band play without this woman . She is a goddess of goth metal
When Tarja on vocals the whole song just excellent. Every members automatically perform to different level. See it believe it.
Oh well....this amazing performance at least for an instant made me forget that we are in 2021. My favorite band and my favorite song.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music...

World Best cristhmas song Forever i miss you old nightwish 😢
Großartig unbeschreiblich schön. Sollte nie enden.
Still get chills even after listening to it more than a hundred times.
This is as good as anything I have ever heard. Wow.
4:25 that 'i'm holding very, holding very tight' part gives me goosebumps
The same.
same!
Absolutely haunting yet beautiful version 👍👍✌️✌️🌹🌹
i love this song :) the best version ever :) my sister loved this band ... she died in 2011 its very sadly 😢
Great performance, beautiful voice, I'm about to cry
Legendary song, legendary band...
Legendary singer
Высшый пилотаж! Браво! Настоящая музыка.
Tarja you are amazing. I bow down before you
Well, only tarja can make this song come alive. What a wonderful and exceptional voice
This version is the best. Tarja's voice is beautiful. This song is and will be the song who makes me sleep.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tämä on edelleen PARAS "Lumiukko" tulkinta mitä olen kuullut. Jopa sanat kuulee selvästi. Kiitos Nightwish!
Лучшая в End of Era!!!
Wish I had a time machine, love Tarja era so much
This will always be the best version in my heart.. It really hits different.. The best era 👍♥️
I miss that Nightwish! 😭❤️
At least we still have Epica and goddess Simone.
This is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes! I am more of a Floor Jansen fan but NO ONE can do this song like Tarja!! Nightwish is my favorite band of all time!!❤
Hooray!! For Tarja🎉 So great to hear her in Nightwish ❤️
The double Bass at the end from Jukka is really something. It was my first Nightwish song 25 years ago and I immediatly fall in love with that band
Estoy escuchando esto en un cyber y se me caen las lagrimas. Tremendo lo que me produce este tema!!! Y verlo a Sami Vanska ahi en el bajo, es recordar los inicios de la banda.

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Ty so much
Peak Nightwish. Right there.
Божественное исполнение!😇🥰
This is all what I wan't in Christmas❤️
buenos con Anette, grandes con Floor,.....UNICOS con TARJA.
No lo pudiste decir mejor 💖
Las palabras exactas
Excelente definicion.
Exactamente. Ninguna de las 3 desmerece. Las 3 han dejado huella. Ojalá y ya no cambien de vocalista por favor.
Вот это голосище, Тарья, божественно!.. Браво, Тарья, браво Nightwish 🤘👍
Спасибо! Спасибо большое, ребята. Очень душевно.
I mean her voice is beautiful and all that.....but my god they are so young..! like little baby versions of themselves. I was taken aback
Se é verdade que Tuomas foi apaixonado por ela,então é totalmente compreencivel ! Tarja é simplesmente perfeita.
Não é?
I'd like to give the drummer some credit. He is truly a master of his craft. If you are familiar with Ghost Love Score, Floor pays homage to him at the end of the live version of that song. Great job to all in this band.
This song is pure magic!!. Oh! how I wished to be there...
Love this great performance. Greetings from St. Petersburg ❤️
Привет из Башкортостана🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Tarja, con esta interpretación, alimentas el alma, lo máximo
Es sublime!!

Это лучшее исполнение!!!
Perfect voice. from Brazil 0/
Awesome song and Performance

Incredible performance!Great memories!
Thanks.
WOW to sing English as a non native language the fontmen (lead singer) NAILED it! WOW! The the lead guitar s a backup - WOW! You don't hear this anymore in American rock and that is sad.
Fantastic version can’t believe this video is as old as it is and I’ve never come across it thanks ♥️♥️♥️💋💋💋
Very great performance beautiful voice 🤘😎😎🤘
The absolute QUEEN
I have all of her solo albums shes that good!!!
Great memories from Amsterdam! We were there 💪 Dankjewel Tarja! 🙏
OMG. Haven't heard it in a long time. And still brings out the emotion!
A level no one can reach again
Still the best version of the song!
Always makes me cry 🖤
Oh god i miss Tarja 💕🤘😍😥
Back when everyone used lighters and when everyone was utterly pumped and not so drowned in their cellphones. Those were the days.

Beautiful days I am reminded of the

@@svineraugenplayz1644 Wrong generation guess, dimwit.
I find it hilarious that you’re complaining about cellphones in this comment, yet you’re watching this video on an electronic device. Oh, sweet irony.
Linda de mais , esta interpretação do poema na voz potente da Tarja , ela sem dúvidas capitou o sombrio da poesia .
Божественный голос и песня супер!
Magia pura em forma de melodia e com essa voz então ficou perfeita!
2023 NW with Tarja still the best!
Epic!
So wish I could turn back time and see Nightwish while Tarja was with them.
Sweet dream!
♥♥♥♥
nightwish sounds good with floor but.... BUT....THIS OLD PERFORMANCE REMINDS ME ABOUT ONE VOICE...THE ONLY ONE TARJA....THAT COMBINATION WAS MAGNIFICENT
Floor ruined the old songs.
@@Finnochka I call a bullshit on you. Show me a single song she ruined.
@@Finnochka what is floor ?? I ask because I don't understand the whole floor talk thing
@@MorusRubra she is crap. just like her crazy fans.
@@FinnochkaSaid Tarja´s crazy minion.
Magnifique Tarja
Wonderful interpretations!! Amazing voice the TARJA
Love and hugs from Michigan oh The light that I share spread it please. Thank you.
Fenomenal song! Waw. Great.
Merci pour le partage de ce magnifique morceau
This is so AMAZING!!!
