Easily one of the best songs on the album. If you are looking for a quintessential "Nightwish Song", this is it. It blends all the different aspects that make Nightwish what it is. A singable chorus, vocal harmonies, darker/scary parts, a guitar solo, pipes, and the signature piano sound of Tuomas. It's like a melting pot of every aspect of Nightwish's music up to now.
'signature piano sound' bro he used Korg Triton's god-awful piano sound for like the first 7 albums and on this album he recorded a real grand (or used his KRONOS which upped Korg's piano game SIGNIFICANTLY). The point is it's definitely WAY BETTER than his "normal piano sound"
Even though it wasn't a single, I'm glad they uploaded it. It's good promotion for the album, which is crazy to think that next year is its 10th anniversary. I remember going through the videos when this album was fresh. So happy to go back to it all again. Amazing start to their trilogy! 👌🏻
Once upon a time a song was heard Giving birth to a child of Earth and verse Together we slay another fright Every Jub-jub birds moves soft and fast 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 fairy tale guise in blue and white Together we slay another fright Every Jub-jub birds moves soft and fast Close your eyes and take a peek The truth is easy to see We were here... 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 Be warm 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 Building light sands in the valley within Together we sleep, devoured by love We were here, roaming 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 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 Zur deutschen Übersetzung von
this album is so powerful from the songs to the sounds that make up the songs there is so much life on this album so much inspiration here but it does have a song called my walden and edema ruh kind of mystical
Was in Stuttgart on 03.12, this concert blew me away! Amorphis, Arch Enemy and Nightwish. Awesome sound, unbelivable performance and i could feel the heatwaves from the pyro on my face 50 meters away. All in all it was the best concert i´ve ever attended. Oh and I caught it on camera when Marco fucked up the beginning of the Islander :D

Umm.. Am I the only one who's spotted a similarity in the intro here and the intro in "Bye Bye Beautiful"? Was this intentional or am I missing something?
+MrArcaneRuins Yeah probably wasnt, but you really cant? Take the first 15 seconds or so of Bye Bye Beautiful, switch the guitars for synths and it would almost perfectly slot in to multiple places in here.
+Ghost Walker I absolutely get what you mean, some of the intervals are the same and the tempo is pretty close to Bye Bye Beautiful as well. It's just that the overall mood is totally different, which makes it hard to call them similar (for me). Though I must say the first part of the melody is very much alike, but once it changes to the second part, the mood is completely different. To me Bye Bye beautiful always sounded dark and 'badass' whilst Alpenglow sounds a lot lighter and up beat.
Once I read this: A song inspired by a natural phenomenon called "Alpenglühen" (in German). It is an optical phenomenon that is only visible after sunset or before sunrise, when the sun is just below the horizon and when it comes into contact with airborne precipitation, ice crystals or atmospheric particles, a reddish light is projected on the snowy peaks of the mountains. Walden: It refers to Henry David Thoreau's essay "Walden, life in the woods." This essay narrates the author's experiences trying to lead a solitary life, outdoors and growing his own food. He wanted to show on the one hand that life in nature is the true life of the free man and on the other, that understanding nature's resources, its rules and rewards, is a path that human beings should not forget. It could be said that Thoreau set out on his own earthly "paradise", close to what he loved and far from what enslaved him. The Jubjub Bird: A dangerous creature that is mentioned in one of Lewis Carroll's nonsense poems (Alice in Wonderland) called "Jabberwocky".
Good morning. I would like to insert this sound source into my video and upload it to my channel. We do not have to make any money. I look forward to your good reply.
Endless Forms Most Beautiful par two? Nightwish used to be original. They have no excuses to do something heavier, darker... it's seems like this has been inspired by Narnia movies. -.- sorry, just my opinion. I still wish the best to my all time favorite band.
The band is the best in my opinion. The singer ... Well ... The unfortunate things that she talked about the Brazil band's fans, who were there to enjoy it, were extremely sad to hear. The recognition of an artist is on the joy of hearing their songs. And not when it is bothered by the noise of them. Disappointing, Floor Jansen.
+Low Roar We await your musical masterpieces with bated amusement. I'm sure none of them will sound alike even though there are only so many melodic musical progressions available.
If your leader wasn't a war mongering piece of shit, I'd say protect it. But my sympathies go to Palestine until he's out of power and someone peaceful is in charge.
+Ricardo Guedes lol Babymetal is my favourite band but I wouldn´t even dare to think that they are more interesting that one of the most epic metal bands XD Also I don´t understand your need to come here to say this. Like... no one cares
With this singer they sound like any clichè symph. metal band, and they are less popular, plus not interesting songs anymore, they lack something excluding the fact of the other past singers who i liked more and the melodies were much better.
+Nais less popular? Maybe where you come from, but in North America they are far more popular than they have ever been. Sounds like you just don't like the album.
+Nais I agree. I consider Imaginaerum as their best album. From Endless Forms Most Beautiful i like only The Eyes Of Sharbat Gula. This album is not interesting for me. It sounds cheap.
+Nais I disagree! If it comes to judging live performance Floor leaves Tarja and especially Annette far behind. For one you can actually hear the words unlike Tarjas jabberish, for second one she can actually sing live unlike Annette. When it comes to albums, well it's firs album with Floor and the sound of it is a general idea of the band. It's supposed to be amazing, beautifull and powerfull, not tottaly symphonic. Tarjas albums were supposed to be more 'epic' and Annettes darker. Give Floor some time, they may come back to more symphonic songs.

plus epic french horn and trumpet sounds towards the end
Drop dead gorgeous as well I have never considered myself a Metal fan
We were here, for this amazing song
11/10
Even though it wasn't a single, I'm glad they uploaded it. It's good promotion for the album, which is crazy to think that next year is its 10th anniversary. I remember going through the videos when this album was fresh. So happy to go back to it all again. Amazing start to their trilogy! 👌🏻

Giving birth to a child of Earth and verse
Together we slay another fright
Every Jub-jub birds moves soft and fast
Close your eyes and take a peek

Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here, grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places

And become the music, one with alpenglow
Hand in hand, guiding me into light
You, the fairy tale guise in blue and white

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
Be warm 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
Building light sands in the valley within
Together we sleep, devoured by love
We were here, roaming 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

This song gives me chills.
Nightwish and Epica ♥
Angelo Maestropaolo and within temptation and evanescence
Mix up "Bye Bye, Beautiful" with the "Moondance" and After Forever's "Attendance" and you'll get something epic, just like this.
Just watched them live, amazing band!
I love this song
this album is so powerful from the songs to the sounds that make up the songs there is so much life on this album so much inspiration here but it does have a song called my walden and edema ruh kind of mystical
Edema Ruh my favorite
Haven't listened to Nightwish since Tarja but this song I like, not bad at all.
Was in Stuttgart on 03.12, this concert blew me away!
Amorphis, Arch Enemy and Nightwish.
Awesome sound, unbelivable performance and i could feel the heatwaves from the pyro on my face 50 meters away.
All in all it was the best concert i´ve ever attended.
Oh and I caught it on camera when Marco fucked up the beginning of the Islander :D
Stayed well interesting this music and this video clip showing the places where the band NIGHTWISH did the shows and the T-shirt!
guys we need you here in Greece now ... plz

¡Excelente canción! Una de mis favoritas de la majestuosa obra de arte "Endless Forms Most Beautiful"
I can't believe it's been 6 years
Hermosa canción... Esperamos este tema en el concierto en Quito... Bienvenidos Nightwish!!!
my favorite
Umm.. Am I the only one who's spotted a similarity in the intro here and the intro in "Bye Bye Beautiful"? Was this intentional or am I missing something?
yeah you not the only one
Gewoon Carlo
Glad to hear it
Not a bad song at all though.
+Ghost Walker I doubt it was intentional, and to be honest, they are hardly similar.

great song! What is the meaning of the lyrics? ".....together we slay another fright..."

Endless Forms Most Beautiful par two?
Nightwish used to be original. They have no excuses to do something heavier, darker... it's seems like this has been inspired by Narnia movies.
-.- sorry, just my opinion. I still wish the best to my all time favorite band.
Does anyone have the lyrics
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💥
Why when I hear this song do I think “Mr Roboto”? Is it just me?
Floor or Anette, for Tuomas is the same.
Spain? Why not?!?!?!?
I hear Floor Jansen sings like Anette Olzon.
Why why why why why NOT POLAND?!?!?!?
prague is near
nice nice nice cyka life
The band is the best in my opinion. The singer ... Well ... The unfortunate things that she talked about the Brazil band's fans, who were there to enjoy it, were extremely sad to hear.

This is beautiful ? Where ?
Sorry, could you translate her comment about Brazilian fans?
I just can't understand portugués, sorry.
support arch enemy and amorphis?wtf?!
Nah.. I like their older stuff but this doesn't work for me. only my opinion I'm sure some people will like it
furrrssst
Abba on (very little) steroids
We know who writes the music for this band. Sadly its one person. This will only lead to repetition.
What a boring song. What happened NW? 😔😔
Sorry but Ever Dream>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alpenglow
Still nice song though
+Low Roar We await your musical masterpieces with bated amusement. I'm sure none of them will sound alike even though there are only so many melodic musical progressions available.
Dave Mason Can't I prefer one song more than other one? God, stop being so sensitive. I'm a huge nightwish fan too, I'm not criticizing anything..
And what about Israel??
What about Palestine?
If your leader wasn't a war mongering piece of shit, I'd say protect it. But my sympathies go to Palestine until he's out of power and someone peaceful is in charge.
+Joey Amaranto I dont know what is "palestine"
+Joey Amaranto I don't know what you talking about
Stop talking about politics in NIGHTWISH's pages. It's not the right place. Music is for peace and joy.
meh.
Babymetal is more interesting
+Ricardo Guedes a joke right?
ErikDGD Sadly, no!
Ricardo Guedes :/
+Ricardo Guedes Than you? By a million miles. On the upside you may be the least interesting person alive. Take solice in that.
+Ricardo Guedes lol Babymetal is my favourite band but I wouldn´t even dare to think that they are more interesting that one of the most epic metal bands XD Also I don´t understand your need to come here to say this. Like... no one cares
meh. With Tarja this would have been so amazing.
Just stop tarja left it's over just enjoy the music
tarja was a bitch so ya no she does not need to sing this song
Maybe, maybe not
With this singer they sound like any clichè symph. metal band, and they are less popular, plus not interesting songs anymore, they lack something excluding the fact of the other past singers who i liked more and the melodies were much better.
+Nais less popular? Maybe where you come from, but in North America they are far more popular than they have ever been. Sounds like you just don't like the album.
Well i can't say NA people has good taste in music in general, so that's why it is popular now, they generally like boring music.
+Nais I agree. I consider Imaginaerum as their best album. From Endless Forms Most Beautiful i like only The Eyes Of Sharbat Gula. This album is not interesting for me. It sounds cheap.
+Nais I disagree! If it comes to judging live performance Floor leaves Tarja and especially Annette far behind.

Tarjas albums were supposed to be more 'epic' and Annettes darker. Give Floor some time, they may come back to more symphonic songs.

And your comment sounds cheap also... And your ears too, if you don't recognize some great songs inside the album...
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 fairy tale guise in blue and white
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)
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
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
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
