I can’t stop listening to this masterpiece. I honestly don’t understand classical musicians who think that all heavy metal is trash. Nightwish always calm me down and makes me feel better!
UltimateMoralizer They probably haven't heard Nightwish or other symphonic metal bands, then, because they mix classical elements with metal. Not to mention, Tuomas studied classical music before forming Nightwish, and incorporates some of those elements.
After a rather sever stroke a year ago, I use Nightwish to soften my struggles. A quick playing of Nightwish tends to calm me down and relax even most difficult times
Once upon a time a song was heard Giving birth to a child of earth and verse Together we slay another fright Every Jubjub bird, spooks of the past Close your eyes and take a peek The truth is easy to see We were here Roaming on the endless prairie Writing an endless story Building a Walden of our own We were here Grieving the saddened faces Conquering the darkest places Time to rest now and to finish the show And become the Music, one with alpenglow Hand in hand guiding me into light You, the fairytale guise in blue and white You are my path my home my star A beautiful tale within the tale And when the dust needs to move on I will tuck us in on a bed of snow Painting white, silencing the valley we built Together we’ll sleep Devoured by Life
Maybe the most glorious key change in the history of music. I think the musicians are playing a bit with our minds... First suggesting a more standard build-up by the addition of drums at 3:56, and then only four seconds later a key change coming right at the moment when you are least expecting it, and completely nonstandard!
would say he managed to get her to sing in different tones than we got used to when we heard her in After Forever. her voice sounds way more dynamic, relatable, and still operatic and epic when needed, like in prev Nightwish songs when they play live
3:58 when they change the modulation in the middle of the chorus and blast the chorus in its full glory is so satisfying to listen to. Because of that I got interested in "new" nightwish after Tarja left the band. This nuance is just ingenious and something I've never heard. You gotta love nightwish.
'We were here!' Such a powerful and beautiful phrase in this amazing song! One of my favorites up till now though I am still new to the Nihtwish army. Ever since I found Ghost Love Score about a month ago and FELL IN LOVE with Floor Jansen! Now I am n this beautiful journey of discovering through all their music albums
We were here is even MORE impactful and emotionally moving in the end track of this album And we are being blest with a 10th studio album over the new year period
BlackSlumber 13 I know how Isounded and even though I'm not usually so stubborn, in this case I am. There is no other band that can keep this level of lyrics in every single song, sure every band has some good ones but in nightwish's case, that's the rule and not the exception. I would go as far to say that Nightwish are artistic revolionists, at least as far as their lyrics go.
I noticed they don't play it more on North America tour :/ I hope we will have official live video of this joyfull song maby from one of summer festivals :)
Saw you guys last year with Sabaton and Delain in Houston. Will see you in a few weeks in San Antonio. Floor is just phenomenal in my humble opinion. Even moreso in those leather pants she was rocking
Been a fan for a very long time, but this new album and sound with the band + floor's vocals, makes me feel as it's the best time to be a nightwish fan :)
It took me a while getting used to it, but it's really great. I love how they keep changing and evolving with each new release, it keeps their music more interesting.
Humanities potential. Endless. Once we stop fighting one another over politics and false beliefs in something greater than ourselves. It's this belief that some outside source will come and save us that has gotten us into this to begin with.. These are our issues and only we can solve them...
Ah, Tuomaksen kädenjälki... ♥ Ensimmäisestä nuotista tunnistettavissa :) Beautiful and powerful song, and must say again, Floor fits perfectly into Nightwish!
Vienna is still missing on the list! Hope every Austrian NW fan noticed it anyway, can't wait to see you guys live again! And Alpenglow is one of my favs from the album! Love to rock out to it in December!
+Nana Ich weiß wohl! :D Aber es war ja zuerst nie in den offiziellen Listen drin und in den Videos immer noch nicht, hoffe, dass es jeder mittlerweile mitbekommen hat. Auf der HP ist es ja endlich *dance* Ich freu mich schon so!
I love nightwish, they are awesome and their songs really touches my attention..Best band ever with their additional instruments they play..You guys rock..
Tim Offermans -- You're absolutely right. Yes, I found myself waiting for her to belt it out a lot more than she did and capable of, on the album. But I'm sure whatever Tuomas has in mind for all of his songs is best fitting for the right sound.
+Patricia Ricca I was blown away by what Floor did on this album. Not like her days with After Forever and ReVamp. She showed an even wider range of styles than what I already knew she had. Is there style she can't sing?

The best music I have listen to since the 70s .Tuomas is an amazing composer,great detail to all his music. Floor has the best voice I have heard for a long time, Marco great bassist and vocalist also, Kai is great on drums but I do miss Jukka and Emppu is great on lead and entertaining the crowd,and Troy on pipes adds something extra to the whole thing
The only reason I keep checking this band out, occasionally, is because of Toumas. He is such a unique composer that I cannot find any other band which perfectly unites symphonic heavy melody with beautifully poetic lyrics. Such a creativity... Every album is a masterpiece! (Although I cannot fall in love with Floor's or even less with Anette's vocals..)
Nightwish is the best band of symphonic methal in the world I heard. And Floor Jansen the best singer. I love you. Omar Gabis, Neuquen, Patagonia, Argentina.
I can’t stop listening to this masterpiece. I honestly don’t understand classical musicians who think that all heavy metal is trash. Nightwish always calm me down and makes me feel better!
Heayv metal is literally the closest relative of classical music, cant imagine someone from that genre dissing on metal.
Which classical musicians? Or it's just what you thought how classical musicians must think? Stereotype much.
Conrad Phạm I’ve met some who told me that they hate metal and they only like classical music. I’m glad there’s some who like metal.
UltimateMoralizer They probably haven't heard Nightwish or other symphonic metal bands, then, because they mix classical elements with metal. Not to mention, Tuomas studied classical music before forming Nightwish, and incorporates some of those elements.
@@UltimateMoralizer Actual musicians or just people that prefer to listen to classical music and think that metal is from satan?
After a rather sever stroke a year ago, I use Nightwish to soften my struggles. A quick playing of Nightwish tends to calm me down and relax even most difficult times
I really wish I had learned ten or more years ago that metal could be like this. So incredible.
+Daniel Cole funny thing is this song only exists since this year, so your years haven't been wasted that badly ;)
+Daniel Cole That time After Forever was existing, and echoes of that band came into Nightwish with AF's powerful singer Floor Jansen.
Me too, I don't really like heavy, but I love this

@@darksteelfuzzy Nightwish has been making metal like this since the 90's.
Once upon a time a song was heard
Giving birth to a child of earth and verse
Together we slay another fright
Every Jubjub bird, spooks of the past
Close your eyes and take a peek
The truth is easy to see
We were here
Roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here
Grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now and to finish the show
And become the Music, one with alpenglow
Hand in hand guiding me into light
You, the fairytale guise in blue and white
You are my path my home my star
A beautiful tale within the tale
And when the dust needs to move on
I will tuck us in on a bed of snow
Painting white, silencing the valley we built
Together we’ll sleep
Devoured by Life
Thanks for the lyrics :D
Bless you, beloved subtitler!
Vielen Dank!
the key change in this song is fascinating to me. i've never really thought about doing a key change in the middle of a phrase but it's so dramatic
Since the first time I heard this, the key change you speak of always destroys me (in a good way). It's just so unique and musically powerful.
That’s probably exactly why Tuomas did it!
Just to be sure, whether we mean the same thing, it is the "The truth" and "is easy to see", right?
@@tomasstana5423 I'm referring to the phrase at 3:56, between "grieving the saddened faces" and "conquering the darkest places"
Maybe the most glorious key change in the history of music. I think the musicians are playing a bit with our minds... First suggesting a more standard build-up by the addition of drums at 3:56, and then only four seconds later a key change coming right at the moment when you are least expecting it, and completely nonstandard!
"We were here"
A beautiful song from the most beautiful band around!!
+DeadToTheWorld92 you are so damn right!!! :D
This song is so underrated. It's amazing, one of my friends recommended me to it and this is amazing stuff. I'm addicted to this song.
this is the best song I've ever heard. Seriously.
Is perfect! I love this one too.
this and weak fantasy
Close your eyes, imagine you are standing on the top on a mountain and then see through the eyes of an eagle ! Hear and feel this song !
I did, oh so many times. I hear and feel this song every time I come across it and I am so glad that someone shares this view with me.
this might genuinely be my favorite nightwish song
This was the first song that made me cry tears of joy, not many bands can do that. I'm so excited for the new album.
That key change halfway through the phrase at 4:00 is amazing.
Agree my god floor's higher pitch is amazing
my fav part
Amazing is an understatement
ok? ..nothing special
@@Zolga00 wrong
There is something about this song that makes me listen a lot more than other new songs.
Tuomas ( I think) said this is an archetypal Nightwish song
What do u mean archetypal? haha
Listen to "Bye bye beautiful" by Nightwish, compare that song to this, and you'll see what they mean
It's a very beautiful song, and it sits well where its at without being a ballad or rocking out too heavily.
would say he managed to get her to sing in different tones than we got used to when we heard her in After Forever. her voice sounds way more dynamic, relatable, and still operatic and epic when needed, like in prev Nightwish songs when they play live
3:18 Impossible not to love Floor's voice.
Her voice is awesome. Shame the album doesn't utilize her whole vocal range. Her songs in after forever showed how powerful her voice much better
@@amberxv4777 they don't have to put all to the game at once, I think it was a wise move
Haklısın
I remember when I saw them in Paris only 12 days after the attacks. This "We were here !" had a power you couldn't imagine...
In sheep's clothing awesome man. Same in toulouse!
@Jimmy Hall Maybe terrorism has nothing to do with religion. They're bad people just using Islam as a reason to kill
Now Oct-2020 Paris is under attack again by Religious of Peace !
@@drapas7467 why?
John Janssen to convert France to Islam.
feel very privileged that I can enjoy his compositions, he's a true maestro
One of my favorite tracks from the Album!! 😍
+Christian Leder agree, +1
We were here... I hope you stay here for us

thanks. i agree with you :)
+Hiruma Youichi Marco sings only for a second
+Hiruma Youichi I find Floor underwhelming tbh.
+dattebenforcer
She is much better live. On the album I feel like she is kind of restrained or something, indeed leading to an underwhelming sound.
this song is a melodic masterpiece

nightwish their music makes dark days seem like nothing and feel i can conqeur my demons. thank you for su h great work
One of the songs, that there's the Nightwish Feeling, in 100%! Amazing that song!
mr.tuomas thanks for the hundreds of songs u have writed....all for you..u make my life more happily thank you thuomas for all
that mid chorus key change gets me every time
endless songs most beautifull !!!!! thank you Nightwish i love you!!!!!!!
This song is no longer Taboo on the RUclips anymore.. Good, now we can listen to the actual song peacefully.
+Jon Thor
It never was taboo, unless you're talking about the leaked version?
+Elämän Vettä Taboo lol, Just a word he's heard
Dan Maginnis
Yeah :) Tabooooo.
+Elämän Vettä Well, not taboo, but every fucking version of it was taken down, INCLUDING this one.
+Jon Thor I agree, Wait long time for this!!!
yep im african who loves rock, and not ashamed to admit it. This is beautiful, even use it in my exercises and gym.
Thanks Nightwish
This isn't rock though
+Duska Who said it was rock? Certainly not Nightwish.

the jewel of this album
This has quickly rocketed to my top five.
This song LIVE, instant Floorgasm, lol now seriously, really amazing song for live shows, i was singing with u in Prague Floor :)))
+WeirdD ShittT I was too. This song makes me VERY happy. \m/ \m/
I noticed they don't play it more on North America tour :/ I hope we will have official live video of this joyfull song maby from one of summer festivals :)
They played in Spokane last year! I was there! I saw it! It was epically amazing!
"Floorgasm" made my day.
Fuck you.
I'm so in love with this song! I am in LOVE with this band!!!!
Saw you guys last year with Sabaton and Delain in Houston. Will see you in a few weeks in San Antonio. Floor is just phenomenal in my humble opinion. Even moreso in those leather pants she was rocking
nightwish my band this band never be never will be you will never find one band like this from tanja to Annette to floor really unbeleavebal band
Been a fan for a very long time, but this new album and sound with the band + floor's vocals, makes me feel as it's the best time to be a nightwish fan :)
2:21 Marco singing ''We Were'' makes this song perfect!
Really, this album is a Masterpiece, like all Nightwish albums, can't undertand how there are people that don't like it
It took me a while getting used to it, but it's really great. I love how they keep changing and evolving with each new release, it keeps their music more interesting.

This is how my paradise would sound like!!
Just wonderful ,it fils my heart with happines !!!
3:58 I love that part. Everything explodes. Gives me the chills.
Best part !
Ah, Tuomaksen kädenjälki... ♥ Ensimmäisestä nuotista tunnistettavissa :) Beautiful and powerful song, and must say again, Floor fits perfectly into Nightwish!
FINALLY. A version that isn't some shitty sped up or slowed down remix. Thank you based Nightwish
it sounds pretty similar to Bye Bye Beautiful to me
+Kevin Palafox yeah the beginning!
+Kevin Palafox yup
+Silver Spike you say it as if it was a bad thing.
+Silver Spike oh my god, really? I thought they are just doing this for old bread and water...
one of the best songs of the new album!
Saskia Bayreuther For me: 1. Alpenglow; 2. Elan; 3. Endless forms most beautiful.
Best song of the album is My Walden
Of the last album this is absolutely my favourite one (excluding The greatest show in Earth) another little Tuomas' masterpiece ;)
What a enchanting song love it 🥰
Ihr seid so ... unbeschreiblich meine geliebten Nightwish you are the best of the World!
Tem 2 anos o álbum e ainda fico imensamente grato e emocionado com essa musica, uma das melhores do cd, Obrigado Nightwish.

The intro reminds me so much of bye bye beautiful just with like a couple extrs notes thrown in
..
I like it
I never understood what someone meant when they referred to music as a friend until I heard Tuomas' music.
Amazing song. I ear that another and another time. Floor is the complement of Nightwish. Nightwish is complete!!
So the intro is like Everdream, bye bye beautiful and ghost love score combined lol
Hands down the best song on the album. This and Edema Ruh are my absolute favourites, Alpenglow being slightly better in my opinion.
Acest cantec ma inspira si ma motiveaza enorm! Pentru ca in Alpi lucrez si le cunosc stralucirea.. 🔱🔱🔱🎆💟
I like that tune shifting @ 5 seconds into 3:55 , Tuomas like such things a lot , and so do i xD
Tuomas really knows how to do it!
the dynamics of the heavy metal music and classical music couldn't be more apparent with what music composition
Best song to listen to when the new decade rolls in!

I played this video ten times. I'm playing it again. I really love Alpenglow! I'm waiting for you to come to Mexico City in a few days!
There ONE thing I hate in this particular video : the places of the tour being listed - it reminds me that I have yet to see them in live.
the best song ever
Belgrade Arena is waiting for you... Just - WHEN??? Balkan is waiting for you!!! Ex Yugoslavia didn't had lucky to welcome you.... C'mon guys....

Then you’ve likely heard and are anticipating the pending release of their 10th album, most of which he wrote and composed during lockdowns
Nightwish ARE Endless Forms Most Beautiful
I want this song to be play on my funeral.Arise Nightwish Army
Nightwish is the best band of symphonic methal in the world I heard. And Floor Jansen the best singer. I love you. Omar Gabis, Neuquen, Patagonia, Argentina.

I love this song😍
I'm glad this was uploaded. I really loved hearing this one done live in Vancouver.
Love the mountains when the sun shines over them
12.2 2023 Finally!! Over an hour of searching for this song
I'm so hyped for your return in Romania this year. I cannot wait for you guys to rock with us one more time \m/
Yeah fucking basarabia
SUCH a beautiful song...
love Tarja but had to recognize Floor in her "own" songs is just outstanding ! :D
In all songs.
I love it when songs sound better live. Especially when it's a band that uses lots of orchestra, cause it's so much rarer.
Wonderful song,NIGHTWISH the best band
nice song...... love nightwish
dieser still denn sie haben ist einzigartig in der musik keine andere band besitzt so eine ausergewöhnliche komposition wie nightwish
I love this song!
Yeah! I agree, "Together we will slay"!!!
Beautiful song ..... excellent melodies ....
