Tarja was the reason we all like Nightwish. Floor is the reason they gained new popularity. But this particular song with Anette will always be my absolute favorite. It's contemporary, it's short & sweet yet heavy and hella melodic. She owns on this song.
I think this is Anette's best song on this disk. People were so mean to her. Thanks for all your time in the group, Anette. And this comes from a huge Tarja and Floor fan.
I agree with you totally. DPP an excellent album. Imaginaerum, to me, the best NW album. Annette took a lot o the NW party. Ok, she could not do the Tarja operatics, but to me the only ‘failing’ is Poet and that is not her fault. Poet needed to be recorded when it was, but it had to wait for Floor to be performed ‘properly’.
Its a good catchy song, but I will never understand how people can prefer this over the absolute masterpieces like 'Bless the Child' , 'While your lips are still red' , 'Creek Mary's Blood' , 'Nemo' , 'Come Cover Me' , 'Sleeping Sun' , 'Shes my sin' etc.

One thing I love about Anette Olzon's vocals in this song is the alliteration and pronunciation of words, especially that, "Caress the one", and the hoppiness of "the hiding amaranth, in-a-land of the daybreak." It's just SO fun to sing.
This is a prime example that nobody owns this song like Annette did. Everyone is arguing over who is the better singer, but all three vocalists have their own captivating qualities that make their respective eras special in their own way. Tarja for opera, Annette for pop/folk, and Floor does a little bit of everything with finesse. Still, Annette's voice had a way of cutting through the mix and she did a great job with voice inflections and accents.
I love Amaranth, this song is Anette's song like Nemo is Tarja's song. Elan definitely is Floor's song. Tuomas has a brilliant mind. Three catchy songs for each one,in video clip. I love NW ❤️.
Nemo is a fantastic song for sure, but I'd like to wager that (in terms of songs that can be considered Tarja's magnum opus) it's more on even ground with Ghost Love Score. Nevertheless you make a good point.

The contrast between her voice and the instruments is what makes this song so great. Swift and high glowing vocals with precision contrasted by high gain, low, bassy instruments relentlessly marching on framing her voice is what makes this song imo. God I love contrast.
This is the first song i heard form Nightwish when I was around 12, maybe 13 years old. Now I'm 30 years old and I'm coming back here every year to remember all those good times . Such nice memories

I agree. My first exposure with Nightwish was me listening to songs I've not listened to on Spotify and the song Elan was the first one I listened to. I'm not sure if this genre of music is popular in America compared to today of R&B, hiphop, and such.

american here, somehow hadnt heard of them until a few weeks ago by accident.. they are freaking amazing.. in US this type of metal is definitely not mainstream... but it should be..
I can see why Nightwish fans don't like Anette's voice, she doesn't use that "opera" tone like Tarja or Floor then everyone talks shit to Anette saying she is a crap singer, but no, having a different style doesn't mean she sucks. In fact I personally prefer her clean voice style
Moe Z Downs yah Floor better singer like Tarja too..but trust me neither Floor or Tarja singles can beat Anette Amaranth..! This song also no 1 in Spotify n iTunes.! Think of it Nwish has no iconic song outside of the metal realm like Metlicca enter sandman or Imaiden run to the hills that show their signature !
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! WHEN I WAS 6 I WAS REALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS AMAZING SONG SO NOW I AM 17 AND I AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD BECAUSE I’VE FOUNED THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUSSIA LOVES YOU !!❤️
Amaranth is a type of perennial plant for those who keep asking. I don't want to tell anyone how to interpret music, that is always a personal exploration but I think one way to look at this song's meaning is that you should try to find the thing or person that brings you joy in life and to always hold onto it even through the tears of sorrow that life brings. This video is based on a painting called 'The Wounded Angel' by finnish painter Hugo Simberg which was voted as Finland's national painting at the Ateneum art museum in 2006. The beauty of the amaranth could also be symbolic of romance or resurrection such as the greek legend of Amaranthus, a hunter who was killed by a tidal wave caused by Poseidon; Artemis, goddess of the hunt, revived him in the form of an amaranth flower.
So many fans bashing Annette for not being Tarja or Floor, but this sing as well as Bye Bye Beautiful are proof this girl can be awesome with the right song. Not all song are for everyone, lets see Tarja singing Amaranth...
Floor can sing it, but it just doesn't sound or feel the same. This song was what basically sold fans on Annette and she pretty much owns it, IMO. This is usually what happens when a singer records an original song and the fans come to love it, though...no other singer is ever going to get it "quite right" to the ear. I think Floor is an awesome fit for Nightwish and I don't think Annette really was, but when it comes to this song...it's all Annette, for me.

Лично для меня любимая вокалистка этой группы, словно глоток свежего воздуха современное звучание, забойные припевы, красивая девушка. Очень живо и динамично, как будто с этой группой сдули пыль
You're right. I listened to the Wacken version, and it doesn't really sound the same. Floor belts it out, but she doesn't have the same impact as Anette did with this song.
it’s not pop really, only metal heads concerned with “metal is this and that” would call her voice or this song “pop” her voice is clear and crystalline. it’s a different element you’re trying to describe here. it ain’t pop.
This song shows that when given a song to sing within her vocal range she could sing as the best. Very unfair to give her songs beyond her vocal range.
Nightwish and Hugo Simberg. What a magnificent Finnish Combination. Hugo Simberg is considered by many as the greatest Finnish painter, and the painting "The Wounded Angel" which this Nightwish clip is based upon, is presented in the Finnish National Gallery - The Ateneum, in Helsinki's City center. You should all come and visit Finland, great country, great people. Suomi - Nightwish - Simberg 🇫🇮🎸🤍✨️🙏
I don't understand the discussions about who is the best nightwish singer. In my opinion all did a great job. Because of the changes nightwish is always interesting to hear, because every singer created an own style. So great work Marco, anette, tarja, floor and co👍
People just don't like change. I get why people didn't like Anette due to the style change in the music but I still think she did a fantastic job. I don't hold any preference over her or Tharja. Haven't listened to Floor yet tbh.
Well, taking a soprano voice ( Tharja) away and replacing it with a pop style voice, simply took away the identity from the band. It doesn't mean good or bad, it means that the atmosphere, mood, identity is no longer the same and the band itself can be heard like any other mass metal bands now. It lost "the bite" . Comparing this voice with the soprano print of Tharja there's an abyss between the two, so, in this case, more tha disliking changes, is disliking the fall from a peculiar, strong, unique identity to the mass. Without any disrespect for the Anette, simply her voice doesn't fit with this genre of music. :)
Anette is a soft rock singer with theatrical sensibilities. These strengths were emphasized on Imaginaerum. The fact of the matter is that Nightwish never lost any "bite"... the group simply took on a new identity with Anette (as has happened again with Floor). People are always quick to despise change, but there was nothing wrong with the transition from Tarja's metallic vibrato to Anette's character singing. Bear in mind that all forms of music can interact with one another however any composer pleases (Tarja's lyric soprano would've never melded with metal fifty years ago, right?), so Tuomas provided us with an immensely distinct combination of heaviness and tenderness that only Anette could help contribute to. Her torch singing was lush and vibrant! She was meant to signal something new, not replace that which once was. And honestly, I think that Anette was better for Nightwish in the long run and am glad that she got to record two strong albums with the boys! When people compare, all they wind up doing is selling the music and the vocals short of what they really are.
I'm a fan of nightwish and I will always be as long as they keep making good music.. I don't give a shit about who comes and who goes all I care about is the music
This song is beautiful and her voice is Heavenly, I'm glad I came across it! I wish there was more music like this. The Melody the keyboard, THE CHORUS IT'S A PERFECT SONG!
I whole-heartedly disagree. That key change is one of the most cliché movements out there, and it did not deserve to be brought here from the hell known as "pop music".
Tarja, Anette, Floor,...all sound amazing... What ever you boys do - sounds great.. Personlly I would no fight against hearing Marko putting some gouts here and there - yet you can blow the way - who ever is there...

One of my all-time favourite songs by Nightwish! Poetic, melodic, heavy, and relentless and uplifting in the chorus! A true masterpiece by them, as far as I'm concerned. I will always love it, no matter how many years may grate away at me. I wish I had the privilege of witnessing this played live so that I could truly rock away to it with them.
EVERYONE SING WITH ME!!! Carrots that wander, never fading, raining. You're hard! And Jesus' snow white Zorro! Carrots that wander, hiding m&ms in a lamb, after they break... THEY BREAK!!!!
Mjh meant this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wounded_Angel It is The Wounded Angel, painted by Hugo Simberg. One of the most famous paintings in Finland and was voted Finland's "national painting" in a vote held by the Ateneum art museum in 2006.
Anett i remember meeting u and the rest of Nightwish at afterparty after a consert in Glasgow many many yrs ago… it was great. and what was even better… well when i was to go home i did get driven home in the Nightwish tour bus along with my friends… i totally love this album and i think it is a shame that anett aint singing in Nightwish anymore….
This was the first song from Nightwish I'd ever heard, it's been 12 years since then and they're now one of my favorite musical acts of all time, and I still regret not having heard of them sooner, during the Tarja years, but I think it was a blessing in disguise, as Annette Olson being the first vocalist I'd heard of theirs made her much easier for me to accept than had I gone from Tarja to Annette. I agree with the general concensus that Annette was their weakest vocalist, but I think she's pretty damned great, too, and Escapist is still my all-time favorite Nightwish song, and it's a song neither Floor, or Tarja could pull off as well as Annette did.
2007... it came out 2007... my gosh i'm 24 now. Shortly before Tarja was leaving Nightwish, that was one of my biggest dreams to see them live. and now im 24.. time is running oh lord.. i can remember how often i heard "I wish i had an angel"...
Everyone debating who the best front woman is and what I miss is Jukka behind that drum kit of his. Really miss that man he brought a lot more than just banging on the skins.

I really love Nightwish with Tarja, in fact - they are one of my favorite music efforts of all time. But from a critical standpoint, this is a remarkably fine effort here, to cross symphonic metal over into a mainstream audience. Anette did a great job. They should have renamed the group, and not had Anette even have to attempt to sing the Turunen material live. Tuomas was understandably deeply torn, unable to part with such epic music that he had written in the Turunen era. I think the only mistake was wanting to have their cake and eat it too. They should have gone with Olzon all the way and renamed the band. Would have saved a lot of hard feelings and changed the whole game about what people said about Olzon. Then people would have said, "we like this new Daydream thing with Anette Olzon, but we miss Nightwish, too," and they would have just gone out and bought more old Nightwish albums. They wouldn't have said, "we miss Tarja", because they wouldn't have looked at it that way, and they may even have embraced Tarja's solo efforts more. But I suppose now they have what they wanted with Floor Jansen.
Same feeling for me, I still remember watching it the day it was releasedm though it's insane how video quality has improved (as opposed to music quality - overall speaking).
That was the first song i 've heard from Nightwish 12 years ago... It blew me away and then...Nemo! I knew by then that this band was not alike any other. And so every single album of them has a special place in my disc case! Long live Nightwish!
Nightwish is a unique power metal band. The 99 million views indicates that the power is not just in the genre name, but the song must keep playing in order for Finland’s electric and power supply to maintain. They are rhe key to solving the energy crisis. What is their secret? Why is Finland hiding the truth from us? Keep asking questions, investigate nightwish.
It's simple.This is Finland.I was there a lot of times,it's a magnificent country.I dare to say that Finland is one of the best countries in the world.
Roman Solovjov Finland has one of the best educational systems, and if i remember correctly, it falls in the top 10 contries to live in. Also, free health care and high pay, but also high taxes :(
Not sure if it's the song, the video, the multiple ways this can be interpreted or all the above. It makes me hate how we as human, destroy that which we do not understand either out of fear, some misguided notion or simply because it's different. Either way, this song always makes me sorrowful and hate what we are.
Tarja was the reason we all like Nightwish. Floor is the reason they gained new popularity. But this particular song with Anette will always be my absolute favorite. It's contemporary, it's short & sweet yet heavy and hella melodic. She owns on this song.

This is more her style of music.
People who criticise her most of the time it was when she was singing songs written for Tarja.
Because this song was written for Annette so she can use her full vocal range but older songs were made for a soprano singer so she can never top that

I first heard about Nightwish way back 2007. I always wondered why they sounded different way back then.
My first nightwish song was planet hell.
I like Annette’s voice. I like all three singers that nightwish has had.
Me too, and I think it's so annoying when people always need to discuss who is "better".
Maria Corone you’re right, all of them are perfect
Agreed! They all have their own strengths.
(Although my favorite vocalist is of course Marco)
I think I would have liked her when I was 10 years old.
I like Floor Jansen's voclas ! Think she nails it Live 🤘😎
this chorus is so captivating :) Her voice is cute enough to make it soft but epic at the same time!
Nightwish best Band in the world. Before, Now, Always.

I would say Muse are better in my opinion.

Sorry, but I'd say you haven't seen Floor on their video... she blows Anette AND Tarja off the Map...
Moe Z Downs Floor is an amazing singer I agree, but again, her style is different from Anette's
Moe Z Downs yah Floor better singer like Tarja too..but trust me neither Floor or Tarja singles can beat Anette Amaranth..! This song also no 1 in Spotify n iTunes.! Think of it Nwish has no iconic song outside of the metal realm like Metlicca enter sandman or Imaiden run to the hills that show their signature !
ever band and sing have something the others dont .... its call there style of music --- just like some like pop other like rap ...
I'm a nightwish fan and I love Anette's Voice. I love tarja and anette. I don't see why everyone hates anette so much its sad.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! WHEN I WAS 6 I WAS REALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS AMAZING SONG SO NOW I AM 17 AND I AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD BECAUSE I’VE FOUNED THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUSSIA LOVES YOU !!❤️
With that pretty face of yours you have every right to be happy ;)
Sinyx Don't.
Love from Australia!
Clicked on comments because I knew there'd be the one creepy guy.. So far
OMG SAMEEEEE BUT IM 15 years old
I swear the drummer looks like he's riding off into an epic battle in every video lol.
Jukka FEEL THE SONG!!
Every metal drummer ever
To me he looks like a gothic pirate
He looks like an angry version of Jeff Porcaro.
That's because he is. Hes the Viking
I like her voice. It's just perfect for this song. Tuomas is really a genius in writing songs for each singers' voice.
I couldn't agree more!
Amaranth is a type of perennial plant for those who keep asking. I don't want to tell anyone how to interpret music, that is always a personal exploration but I think one way to look at this song's meaning is that you should try to find the thing or person that brings you joy in life and to always hold onto it even through the tears of sorrow that life brings. This video is based on a painting called 'The Wounded Angel' by finnish painter Hugo Simberg which was voted as Finland's national painting at the Ateneum art museum in 2006.
The beauty of the amaranth could also be symbolic of romance or resurrection such as the greek legend of Amaranthus, a hunter who was killed by a tidal wave caused by Poseidon; Artemis, goddess of the hunt, revived him in the form of an amaranth flower.
i’m so glad my parents listened to Nightwish when i was younger, and now, years later i found them again and i’m in love
So many fans bashing Annette for not being Tarja or Floor, but this sing as well as Bye Bye Beautiful are proof this girl can be awesome with the right song. Not all song are for everyone, lets see Tarja singing Amaranth...
idk about Tarja, but Floor can defenitely sing Amaranth. No disrespect fro Anette though.
Floor can sing it, but it just doesn't sound or feel the same. This song was what basically sold fans on Annette and she pretty much owns it, IMO. This is usually what happens when a singer records an original song and the fans come to love it, though...no other singer is ever going to get it "quite right" to the ear.
I think Floor is an awesome fit for Nightwish and I don't think Annette really was, but when it comes to this song...it's all Annette, for me.
+Kevin Deselms ah yes, that makes sense. The first time I heard Amaranth, it was by Floor.
I honestly think that Annete was the perfect bridge between Tarja and Floor. Great delivery!
this song is amaziiiing, Anette is amazinnggg. As a number 1 fan of Tarja, I have to admit that Anette is graceful too, her voice is catching
My aunt first showed me this song when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I am so glad I found it once again after searching desperately for 10 years!
Lisen to all their songs, that's gold!
Your aunt has great taste, and congrats for finding this gem again
Your aunt rocks!
It took you 10 years to find a song??
Lyrics:
Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see?
You receive but what you give?
Caress the one, the never-fading
rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare
You believe but what you see?
You receive but what you give?
Caress the one, the never-fading
rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the never-fading calling
Caress the one, the never-fading
rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Лично для меня любимая вокалистка этой группы, словно глоток свежего воздуха современное звучание, забойные припевы, красивая девушка. Очень живо и динамично, как будто с этой группой сдули пыль
Now Amaranthe should make a song called Nightwish.
+David Kuchen They should call it Nightwishe
They Call Me Sully ahahahaha, nice one my friend
lol
Nightwishe by Amaranthe
+Athena Prescott arrived 17 hours late to give same exact reaction... shit
I love 3 vocalist but No one can sing amaranth better than annete. they have their own style
Really agree! This belongs just to Anette!
True. For me Sleeping Sun is Tarja's song; this one is Anette's.
You're right. I listened to the Wacken version, and it doesn't really sound the same. Floor belts it out, but she doesn't have the same impact as Anette did with this song.
Well, you never listened Thalia sing it (nether do I), so your statement kind of nonsense.
yes..all 3 have something special but
also different
She had the perfect voice for this. You don't have to love her versions of other songs, but her pop-like tones fit this song perfectly.
it’s not pop really, only metal heads concerned with “metal is this and that” would call her voice or this song “pop”
her voice is clear and crystalline. it’s a different element you’re trying to describe here. it ain’t pop.
@@blue_sky_bright_sun7599 nah it’s pop
Don't think I've ever seen someone so passionately play a keyboard. The drummer is fire for real. They all rock!!
One of the best songs ever.
As a lover of both old, mid, and new NW, this still gives me chills. A gem of a song
They absolutely played to Annette’s strengths!! She is amazing!
I sure miss Jukka Nevalainen on drums!!! He was one of the reasons I enjoyed Nightwish so much over the years!
The juxtaposition of her vocals to the heavy metal is so striking. It makes for a very pleasant listening experience.
I always love watching this because the drummer is having the time of his life
Yes ! exactly
finally someone said it !
love that guy ! he's drummed like a total badass in this song !
Jükka is badass
This song shows that when given a song to sing within her vocal range she could sing as the best. Very unfair to give her songs beyond her vocal range.
1 Day ago, WOW..
Yes!
that is why I don't get why they chose her to replace Tarja, she is not a bad singer but you cant expect her to fill shoes as big as those....
Nightwish and Hugo Simberg. What a magnificent Finnish Combination. Hugo Simberg is considered by many as the greatest Finnish painter, and the painting "The Wounded Angel" which this Nightwish clip is based upon, is presented in the Finnish National Gallery - The Ateneum, in Helsinki's City center. You should all come and visit Finland, great country, great people.
Suomi - Nightwish - Simberg 🇫🇮🎸🤍✨️🙏
Thanks for the explanation, I'm from Brazil and I live in Portugal, I love this song and the clip
2020 someone????plz tell me I'm not the only one not forgetting them!!😭
Hubert Lhant here👋🏼
Yep
Fuck ya
@@ilanmask8954 Fack ya first
Ja
Love Anette‘s voice. It’s so melodic.I wish she had an AOR band.
I don't understand the discussions about who is the best nightwish singer.
In my opinion all did a great job. Because of the changes nightwish is always interesting to hear, because every singer created an own style.
So great work Marco, anette, tarja, floor and co👍
People just don't like change. I get why people didn't like Anette due to the style change in the music but I still think she did a fantastic job. I don't hold any preference over her or Tharja. Haven't listened to Floor yet tbh.
Well, taking a soprano voice ( Tharja) away and replacing it with a pop style voice, simply took away the identity from the band. It doesn't mean good or bad, it means that the atmosphere, mood, identity is no longer the same and the band itself can be heard like any other mass metal bands now. It lost "the bite" . Comparing this voice with the soprano print of Tharja there's an abyss between the two, so, in this case, more tha disliking changes, is disliking the fall from a peculiar, strong, unique identity to the mass. Without any disrespect for the Anette, simply her voice doesn't fit with this genre of music. :)
Anette is a soft rock singer with theatrical sensibilities. These strengths were emphasized on Imaginaerum. The fact of the matter is that Nightwish never lost any "bite"... the group simply took on a new identity with Anette (as has happened again with Floor). People are always quick to despise change, but there was nothing wrong with the transition from Tarja's metallic vibrato to Anette's character singing. Bear in mind that all forms of music can interact with one another however any composer pleases (Tarja's lyric soprano would've never melded with metal fifty years ago, right?), so Tuomas provided us with an immensely distinct combination of heaviness and tenderness that only Anette could help contribute to. Her torch singing was lush and vibrant! She was meant to signal something new, not replace that which once was. And honestly, I think that Anette was better for Nightwish in the long run and am glad that she got to record two strong albums with the boys!
When people compare, all they wind up doing is selling the music and the vocals short of what they really are.
Tarja is the clear answer though! ;)
Agreed dude, theyre both fantastic in their own right
This is Nightwish's best rock song. Everything is right about this number, no person can say that it is not.👏🏻🇳🇱🇳🇱
I'm a fan of nightwish and I will always be as long as they keep making good music.. I don't give a shit about who comes and who goes all I care about is the music
The one and only Nightwish song truly "owned" by a singer other than Tarja ☺ You rock Anette Olzon. This is YOUR song! 😎
This song is beautiful and her voice is Heavenly, I'm glad I came across it! I wish there was more music like this. The Melody the keyboard, THE CHORUS IT'S A PERFECT SONG!
God bless, Anette! My two favorite records from Nightwish is with her.
Steve Harris defined so well the band after she get in.
I love how they change the key in the final chorus it is amazing!
I whole-heartedly disagree. That key change is one of the most cliché movements out there, and it did not deserve to be brought here from the hell known as "pop music".
shining armor must be fun at parties XD
Modulation is beautiful!
I have been sleeping on Nightwish. Gods forgive me I did not know. One of the Catchiest songs ever.
7 years ago this song came out, can't believe it's gone that fast
Its also been 7 years ago since I last time moved with my family and yes its also gone that fast.
12years now
Tarja, Anette, Floor,...all sound amazing... What ever you boys do - sounds great.. Personlly I would no fight against hearing Marko putting some gouts here and there - yet you can blow the way - who ever is there...
One of my older friends used to be a music journalist, he got to interview Anette in this era of Nightwish, hell of a guy.
Who's having a Nightwish marathon?
Me all songs☺
meee ma friend xd

One of my all-time favourite songs by Nightwish! Poetic, melodic, heavy, and relentless and uplifting in the chorus! A true masterpiece by them, as far as I'm concerned. I will always love it, no matter how many years may grate away at me. I wish I had the privilege of witnessing this played live so that I could truly rock away to it with them.
EVERYONE SING WITH ME!!!
Carrots that wander, never fading, raining.
You're hard! And Jesus' snow white Zorro!
Carrots that wander, hiding m&ms in a lamb,
after they break... THEY BREAK!!!!

You have officially ruined my life 😂😂😂 it's so painful...
XDDDDD
+Austin Chu NOOOOOOOOOOOOO .... My heart feels so sad now :'(
this is going to save the internet, great job
I love that chorus so much! Her singing/voice fits it perfectly.
Voice isn't bad but the producer did a good job.
I think Hugo Simberg didn't thought to have over 85 million views 113 years later after getting his painting ready
Oh dear, I started listening to this song 5 years ago but I never knew they got the idea from a very old painting! Amazing, wish I could see them live
lol the first succesful youtuber ever

It is The Wounded Angel, painted by Hugo Simberg. One of the most famous paintings in Finland and was voted Finland's "national painting" in a vote held by the Ateneum art museum in 2006.
Anette will always be the greatest singer in my heart
Finally, after 10 years, found this song, and all it took was "angel on stretchers" search
Dude imagine ten years looking for a song Hahaha You're perseverant
@@liriettrod3282 To be honest I was not actively searching, but yeah, it was kind of like one time per month were I got kind of desperate to find it
Not knowing the name of a good song is the worst feeling there is
@@xspirit9510 I know nightwish, I can possibly help
@@xspirit9510 np👍
Even though everyone says bad stuff about Anette I think is probably my favourite nightwish song!
There's always something quite fantastic about a keyboard player headbanging.
I always loved what she brought to nightwish! Woman has some lungs!
Anett i remember meeting u and the rest of Nightwish at afterparty after a consert in Glasgow many many yrs ago… it was great. and what was even better… well when i was to go home i did get driven home in the Nightwish tour bus along with my friends… i totally love this album and i think it is a shame that anett aint singing in Nightwish anymore….
One of my first heard metal bands..So many memories... The start of a journey🤘🏻
Neron Dominus a great journey
This was the first song from Nightwish I'd ever heard, it's been 12 years since then and they're now one of my favorite musical acts of all time, and I still regret not having heard of them sooner, during the Tarja years, but I think it was a blessing in disguise, as Annette Olson being the first vocalist I'd heard of theirs made her much easier for me to accept than had I gone from Tarja to Annette. I agree with the general concensus that Annette was their weakest vocalist, but I think she's pretty damned great, too, and Escapist is still my all-time favorite Nightwish song, and it's a song neither Floor, or Tarja could pull off as well as Annette did.
Its 2021, and still listening to this beautiful song.
👇
2007... it came out 2007... my gosh i'm 24 now. Shortly before Tarja was leaving Nightwish, that was one of my biggest dreams to see them live. and now im 24.. time is running oh lord.. i can remember how often i heard "I wish i had an angel"...
Lol, I thought exactly the same thing when I saw when it was uploaded.. except I am 30 now.
I really like the energy from front woman (Anette Olzon) and the drummer (Jukka Nevalainen). They in particular made this music video awesome.
To be fair, everyone else is in slow motion 😂
Well what do ya know. They are.
Everyone debating who the best front woman is and what I miss is Jukka behind that drum kit of his. Really miss that man he brought a lot more than just banging on the skins.
They're an awesome pair.

przepiękna piosenka od strony nightwish
Początek dla mnie najlepszy
+Benekol zgadzam się:)
Tylko youngigi
jak możesz:( nightwish w porównaniu do tego czegoś z autotune to cudo
2024 still here_!🔥 anyone else?
I almost turned the captions off until I realized this was finally my chance after 12 years to finally figure wtf she was saying in the chorus 😂🖤
I really love Nightwish with Tarja, in fact - they are one of my favorite music efforts of all time. But from a critical standpoint, this is a remarkably fine effort here, to cross symphonic metal over into a mainstream audience. Anette did a great job. They should have renamed the group, and not had Anette even have to attempt to sing the Turunen material live. Tuomas was understandably deeply torn, unable to part with such epic music that he had written in the Turunen era. I think the only mistake was wanting to have their cake and eat it too. They should have gone with Olzon all the way and renamed the band. Would have saved a lot of hard feelings and changed the whole game about what people said about Olzon. Then people would have said, "we like this new Daydream thing with Anette Olzon, but we miss Nightwish, too," and they would have just gone out and bought more old Nightwish albums. They wouldn't have said, "we miss Tarja", because they wouldn't have looked at it that way, and they may even have embraced Tarja's solo efforts more. But I suppose now they have what they wanted with Floor Jansen.
You're giving too much credit to the human race. People would bitch at Olzon no matter what.
Wow, that was one monologe xD And you know what, you're goddamn right. I could even get into the name Daydream.
Koendabomb It would have worked! Thanks for reading my monologue xD LOL
Why did you remove my comment?
***** I did not remove your comment. Something must have gone wrong...post again no worries.
Wow, 13 years ago? Feels like just yesterday...
Same feeling for me, I still remember watching it the day it was releasedm though it's insane how video quality has improved (as opposed to music quality - overall speaking).
Feels old now?
Exactly😩
This was the album that introduced me over a decade ago to Nightwish. This still is one of my favorite songs.
I am thirteen years old.
This is my first Nightwish song when I discovered this band in 2017. I'm so glad Anette is still active. I love her so much! ❤
That was the first song i 've heard from Nightwish 12 years ago... It blew me away and then...Nemo! I knew by then that this band was not alike any other. And so every single album of them has a special place in my disc case! Long live Nightwish!
Nightwish is a unique power metal band. The 99 million views indicates that the power is not just in the genre name, but the song must keep playing in order for Finland’s electric and power supply to maintain. They are rhe key to solving the energy crisis. What is their secret? Why is Finland hiding the truth from us? Keep asking questions, investigate nightwish.
It's simple.This is Finland.I was there a lot of times,it's a magnificent country.I dare to say that Finland is one of the best countries in the world.
Roman Solovjov Finland has one of the best educational systems, and if i remember correctly, it falls in the top 10 contries to live in. Also, free health care and high pay, but also high taxes :(
SHF // ShadowHunterFi well,dude it's much better then russia,where i'm from.The monthly payment is about 250euros.
It's because the singer is Swedish..
This is not Power Metal, this is Symphonic Metal
One of the most underrated female vocalists in Metal and never got a fair crack at being Nightwish's Front Woman. Still love you and miss you Anette
10 nightwish amatanth nightwish best song floor best nightwist solist❤❤❤❤❤
This has been my ringtone for the last 10 years.
HOW are you still alive with that low of an iq
And it will now be mine. :)
I actually loved this album with her as the vocalist
Never forget Anette Olson!!!! Such a great Voice...
Anette and Taria is best rock of Finland . 👍👍👍
I loved the way this singer sings 💖
June 2019 and I'm still in love with this anette 😍
I'll be back on july 2019 also
also august 2019, and every other month till im alive
When this song came out, the world of nightwish was intact and now not so much. Thank you Anette.
This songs puts me in one such a good mood. Anette Olzon at her very best, within her vocal range.
Still hype to this song in 2021. I remember listen to that, when i was younger, in the German music channel VIVA.
Maybe I have the strangest feelings but somehow this song touches me deeply and I am nearly about to cry.
im fuckin crying already
Not sure if it's the song, the video, the multiple ways this can be interpreted or all the above.
It makes me hate how we as human, destroy that which we do not understand either out of fear, some misguided notion or simply because it's different.
Either way, this song always makes me sorrowful and hate what we are.
That key change. 🔥
100M views!! Best era of nightwish, well deserved💜
