The Islander is a great acoustic song from the 2007 Nightwish album "Dark Passion Play".
Music by Marco Hietala & Tuomas Holopainen
Originally performed by Nightwish
The Islander is from Nightwish's Dark Passion Play album and this song was actually written by Marco Hietala! It's my understanding that Tuomas Holopainen wrote the lyrics. The original music video is beautiful, the band members sat in a circle in a Finnish setting. If you've been to Finland you'll know how amazing that country is! I can't wait to go back in July 2017.
I tried something different with the angle for this video - top down so you can see more of me while I play. I wanted to show some more emotion in my playing however I had to focus on what I was doing more than showing the feeling of the piece like I wanted to - every time I tried to show more visually, my playing suffered a lot! But I think I got just a little in. I might go back to the previous way, showing mostly my hands instead. But leave a comment and tell me what you think!
Thank you to my patrons on Patreon for voting for The Islander as my next Nightwish piano cover! I will be doing more and more Nightwish covers and you can vote for them if you become a patron on Patreon! Patrons receive the sheet music and mp3s to all of my videos as I release them.

The Islander lyrics:
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world’s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love’s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
It's honestly the best cover I've ever found on this Nightwish song !!!!
I agree that this was very good. In addition to Andrews works, I would recommend also checking out covers by Dean Kopri.
One of my favorite from Nightwish! So happy that you made a cover of it!!! And a very beautiful one ;)
I love the song too :)
This deserves more views than it has. Beautiful cover of a beautiful song!
Maybe it's time for full length "The greatest show on earth" :D :D
I did that here :) ruclips.net/video/FKxWUCbnWD4/видео.html
This has become one of my motivations the keep on playing. So that I get to play this myself. Just beautiful!
Nice work man!

Thanks for the lyrics
Wonderful! You are a very talented pianist, my respects!
Thank you very much, I do my best!
Wonderful as always, Andrew. Please do a Sahara cover.
I can consider it for next time :)
Must say you do the best TSFH covers I've ever heard. Also any chance we could get Last Ride of the Day by Nightwish?
Thanks so much! And Last Ride of the Day is here: :) ruclips.net/video/TgqYzUc8e5U/видео.html

Sheets for this are on my Patreon ;) www.patreon.com/composer1992
Amazing! :D Is it possible to get/buy the sheet music for this one :) ?
💙🎵
i couldn't stand to sing while listening this)
so my vote (comment... no money sorry :D) didnt win.. is it? :) but this is... oh damn. nice :) editing the comment continously while listening this for the first time... u the mvp :)
Haha, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. Maybe your vote will get it next time!
I think you're trying really hard to improve your word capacity... every fine comment comes like the same and you always say thanks to them with different words :D
Haha, I am not going to copy-paste!
Please do End Of All Hope
if you do so, then that would be amazing
this cover is one of my favorites so far, I MIGHT(don't get triggered yet) say it's better than the original
I'm glad you liked it! :D I'm focusing on Two Steps From Hell at the moment, but might make some other Nightwish arrangements available on Patreon :)
Andrew Wrangell Music guess I'll wait then
I can 't find the sheet :(
" bless the child " PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuomas got a child?
As it seems to me you are always playing with mathematical fidelity in other covers of Nightwish by you. You never play a note longer than it is on the piano sheet. (Don't get me wrong, I respect that, it is your relationship with the music) But here in this song I find your play very sensual and lyrical, and I visualized the swinging of a cradle, or of the pendulum, or something like that. It's a great song that maybe expresses the sense of the whole album (who knows?)) All in all , it is a great cover , and you do really right things that you make covers of Nightwish's songs) sorry for my English)
Amazing as always!
Power of the beard.
Haha! It's a new look I'm still getting used to!
Hey Andrew, glad that you are back to NW!
What do you think about covering For My Pain- Joutsenlaulu?
I'll keep doing some Nightwish :)
I might consider it! Depends on the trends in what people are asking for :)
Really good! You've really took in the soul of the song.
Glad you liked! :D
hey brother.. may i use your cover to sing for a video? i'll give all credit. it's amazind and fits for my voice.
Great as usual! This was one of the ones I've been looking forward to ;)
I'm glad I could give you the one you were waiting for! :D
Wow, I've just discovered your channel. So much TSFH and Nigthwish 😍. I'm new to piano and I hope I can get to this level one day!
i want to buy your nightwish t -shirt.
Andrew ....Thanks for share with us your awesome piano playing! Love it! You know :)!
I'm so glad that you like it! :D
Well done, another brilliant cover!
You gonna do some more originals soon? Your last one was fantastic :)
Keep up the great work dude XD

I love this song, and you did a great work!! Play "Astral Romance" by Nightwish, the 2001 version 🙏🏽
Amazing!
Are you planning also Tarja Turunen´s solo songs, please? (I Walk Alone or Victim Of Ritual for example) :) And what about brilliant Nightwish´s songs - Once Upon A Troubadour and The Carpenter? :)
Hey, is there a way to buy sheet music of this song? I bought some your sheet music of Two Step From Hell on sellfy, but I can't find a link to this one :( and it's soo beautiful. ps. Because of your sheet music and tutorials I started playing on the instrument :)
didn't use a pedal but think I should do it on this song, it's impossible to play normally without using it
Yo, what happened to the blue button up?!
yeah - this song have soul
I have that same shirt! Good job dude I wish I could do this
This is so good, blessings well done ❤
