Plus Kalevala (Mielikki & Tapio). My guess would be, since it's a really old song. Tuomas had just read more about Lord of the Rings and Tolkien, and learned that Tolkien was inspired by Kalevala and Finnish language when he wrote about the Elves. Complete guesswork obviously, but it's fun to theorize 😊
for me personally, no matter how many symphonic metal bands there are in the world, no one can even come close to nightwish. They are not like everyone else. Love you guys.❤️❤️❤️
NW is a rare combination of talents, in a perfect harmony, orchestrated by Tuomas. This is too much ... I cry every time I here this, and nearly all of NW songs. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me for crying all the time. But ... then I think ... There is soo much feelings released in their (Tuomas's) songs that it is inevitable. And all the band members are just so perfect in place. Just let your feelings free.
I literally pack my backpack and rum, carry my old tape deck across the river into the forest and hike a trail to my spot on the forested plateau high ridge and open the night with this song about 1/3 trips, this song can bring me to tears along with a few others of your creations, thank you !
I love how Floors and Marcos voices complement each other. The are my favorite vocal dualists easily. 2 so powerfull voices and neither one is overbearing.
There is not another symphonic metal band out there that can even compare to nightwish!! So unique, and such an amazing and talented group in so many ways!!
The musicians in this band are fn bosses...love seeing Marko switch off so easily playing a nice guitar riff straight into a thundering bass line on the same double guitar. So badass. And Troy was rocking two wind instruments. 🙌
@@ВсадникАпокалипсиса-я9е sadly without Marko, we will not hear them, atleast in their full glory. Troy can sing some of these songs well enough but he doesnt have the power
Can we just acknowledge Marco as one of the top shelf bassists in hard/heavy music? Also... the harmony choices in the vocals during the chorus create what’s become one of my favorite sounds in music.
Oh the memories of early days of Nightwish that elvenpath brings to me. Was couple of their 1st ever live shows in "97-98" when they released their 1st album Angels fall first. I had broken wrist but still went to see them play. Had a blast when they played in small nightclub and yelled Tuomas to sing male parts of beauty and the beast. He was kinda embarrased, lol. One of my favorite bands ever since then!
For anyone who's interested (and isn't a folk music buff like me): the tune at the beginning is called the Monaghan Jig! I love to hear these more traditional tunes used by such a good band as Nightwish...! All the best from your local friendly folk fiddler!
Goodbye Marco, I hope you are doing well. When you are feeling up to it again, I and many others will gladly hear from you and welcome you back. Stay strong!
To Nightwish, all their roadies, techs, all members of their crew and not forgetting the Nighwish Army, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'm so looking forward to May1st.....
Was there, at first line right in front of marco!!!! all of you were amazing! I have my signed ticket, a full photo from the meet n greet with all of you except for from floor who wasn´t feeling so well framed in my room. It was Awesome!!! Thank you so much for this!!! Edit: OMG im on the video!!!
That envy can be felt up to where I am on the other side of the world. I don't think it's Argentina's fault that the bands didn't come to Colombia, but it's clear that the logical reasoning was never strong in Latin America.
Amigo, yo me puse triste al saber que no podría ir a Bogotá a ver a Nightwish, ya me tocara cuando vuelvan a Colombia... deberías saber que las plazas que más atraen en LATAM son México, Argentina, Chile en Colombia el apoyo es poco, antes vinieron.. y eso que Colombia se volvió plaza para las bandas de metal luego de la 1er ves que llego Iron Maiden.
THE MOST POWERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THE WORLD OF SYMPHONIC METAL ... THE TALENT OF ALL ITS MUSICIANS IS SPECTACULAR AND MAJESTIC ... THE SETTING UP OF YOUR STAGE IS PERFECT AND THE SONGS TRANSPORT YOU TO A MAGICAL WORLD OF UNIQUE SENSATIONS .. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO GENERATE THAT ENERGY TO THE PUBLIC THAT VISITS YOU ... YOU ARE THE MASTERS OF THE SYMPHONIC METAL GENRE ... IN ADDITION TO BEING THE BEST INSTRUMENTAL BAND ON A WORLDWIDE LEVEL, I AM PROUD TO SEE YOU SINGING AND PLAYING ALL THE INTEGRATES MY COUNTRY COLOMBIA, GREETINGS FROM GUATEMALA.
We can only pray that there's a chance for his return. Nightwish has adapted to other losses and kept creating great music. They'll definitely have to change without their secret lead singer. But while seeing Tarja back on stage with them is a pipe dream, I'll have to keep hope that isn't the case for Marko.
@V. S. Werejester Yes, I saw them them twice in this summer, and it was still magical and wonderful, even without our dear, so loved Marko. I wish all of them joy and happiness whatever the decide to do
Вот только с этим грёбанным вирусом концерты перенесли на следующий год. А будут ли они во всех тех странах и городах в которых планировались выступать в 2020 году!?! Или как всегда в последнее время политика сделает своё дело и придётся ехать в другую страну чтобы наконец-то попасть на одну из лучших на мой взгляд зарубежных рок групп. Мне бы на Тарью Турунен попасть пока она ещё выступает)))))).
What a voice, blows me away everytime. So beautiful and just feel the life and emotion in her voice. Ive liked Nightwish but never hardcore, but after listening to Floor sing different songs of almost every genre, ive found a newfound wonder and just keep looking for more songs of hers to listen to basically all day. The live shows are the best and really showcase how versatile in music she can be. Wonderful. I want to see a live show if you come to the US on the eastern states. From NC.
Kisses from France to all the crew and the fans. This songs reminds me my first encounter with the best band in the world, thanks to an old friend that said "listen this, it's a metalband with a lyric soprano singer and i'm sure you'll love it ". It was 22 years ago, and yeah my friend, i loved it ans still love it now. First, Elvenpath and The pharaoh sails to Orion were my favorite ones, but now, I can't tell you how many favorites I have ! THANKS A LOT NIGHTWISH, I wish i'll see you again on stage with my little 10 years old boy soon ! \m/
Flor is one of the best vocalists in the world, as said below, BUT, Flor is one of the best vocalists in the world in one of the best bands of the world. I absolutely loved this opening.
It is a difficult time for me, but this song reminds me that there are things I love dearly and things and especially people that are worth living for.
I'm so glad we have Nightwish. And happy for that the band is doing so well, Floor is the most perfect female vocalist they could ever find. Sometimes destiny just makes you to go the right way. I mean after Anette left, the band was in crisis but everything worked out in a good way.
I "remember" this, I mean, When you started to play I was in shock, I could not believe I was there just in front of you, i rememner the concert, but not so many datails, thanks a lot for posting this and make remember how awesome that show was for me! love guys! the evvenpath if my favorite song from you and the first I listen form nightwish :')
Incredibly great! Now I'm just looking forward even more to the postponed concert in Oslo Spektrum. This 70 year old dude is finally going to a real rock concert again. 🤩
A thousand and a thousand thanks for this great detail, for all those who were in that great concert it is a great memory, that they were in my country, it is wonderful, a thousand thanks for it !!!🥰🥰🥰🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎😎🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I wasn't feeling too great this night, but still have a lot of good and warm memories related to this show! 😊
You were still fantastic, and people at the concerts always appreciate the effort you put in to doing your best on that day.
I was there
i love you so much :')
Ur memory is awesome after so many tour locations
I don't remember what I had dinner last night
You are always amazing!
Hey Floor 👋👋🤗🤗
Tolkien's world and Nightwish combined😍😍😍. This song goes straight to my heart!
Listen to Blind Guardian, they have a subscription on Tolkien with their songs. :-D
@@Nikioko yes I know, I have all their albums too. I just hope Amazon will talk to either or both bands to include some of their art in the new series
the lord of the ring \o
I know Tolkien recorded himself reading from his books. Is that Tolkien speaking?
Plus Kalevala (Mielikki & Tapio). My guess would be, since it's a really old song. Tuomas had just read more about Lord of the Rings and Tolkien, and learned that Tolkien was inspired by Kalevala and Finnish language when he wrote about the Elves.

You're not alone in that.
The instrumental part (Elvenjig) was absolutely perfect on this gig!

Awesome Nightwish, I cannot go through a day without listening, thank you for the wonderful magickal journey you take me on...
The absolute joy on the band members' faces during the intro is exactly why we love Nightwish so much, just look at that huge grin from Toumas! ❤️
There is not another symphonic metal band out there that can even compare to nightwish!! So unique, and such an amazing and talented group in so many ways!!

Elvenpath is one of the many best Nightwish songs! It is Masterpiece! I like everything about it!
Floor is absolutely one of the best female vocalist in entire world!
I argree
One of?
@@phillee2814 Ok, one and only :D
One of the best vocalists...period
I’ve said this before. She’s the best vocalist ever. I always leave “female” out.
This song, with Phantom of the Opera; should be in every setlist. Love it.
yes!! and bye bye beautiful also

Yes...I was there...I hope soon see you again guys.... thanks for share that moment in my country 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

I love to hear these more traditional tunes used by such a good band as Nightwish...! All the best from your local friendly folk fiddler!
Thanks so much for the name of the jig. I knew that I should have known it but couldn't put a name on it.
thaaaanks a looot , i've been looking for months
the amazing and timeless Floor ,and the band of merry minstrel's ...............just beautiful ,with all my love and respect peace out .
Troy playing the allowances pipes is absolutely amazing. First heard him with Iona another amazing band!! This whole band is incredible!!
Goodbye Marco, I hope you are doing well. When you are feeling up to it again, I and many others will gladly hear from you and welcome you back. Stay strong!
I am new to this band.. I am a metal guy, but as soon as I heard their music I feel the need to see them live..
Elvenjig is my all time favourite. This was a treat to wake up to 😊
After 11 years of listening to their songs, I think I can keep listening.
Nightwish has the exact lineup, the great incorporation of Troy has made the band a new sound, incredible !!!😎👏👏👏🙌
One of my very favorites, both halves. Thank you Nightwish!
Still on of the best nightwish songs!!
I can’t stop listening to this. Floor is beyond this planet and her spirit lifts all of us. She is definitely one of the greats.
This gave me Rhapsody and Blind Guardian vibes, all perfectly mixed and sang by Nightwish ! so good.
To Nightwish, all their roadies, techs, all members of their crew and not forgetting the Nighwish Army, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'm so looking forward to May1st.....
Это самая лучшая музыка..... невозможно передать бурю эмоций от их творчества..... Живите всегда...
когда-то Nightwish войдет в историю и будет именоваться неоклассикой также , как сейчас Моцарт и Бах это классика
Was there, at first line right in front of marco!!!! all of you were amazing! I have my signed ticket, a full photo from the meet n greet with all of you except for from floor who wasn´t feeling so well framed in my room. It was Awesome!!! Thank you so much for this!!!
Edit: OMG im on the video!!!
love both of them, absolutely beautiful
These guys aren't messing around. This is authentic music.
De verdad que Floor le dio un giro a la banda, su voz se adapta muy bien a las canciones antiguas de Nightwish. Me gusta!!
As soon the pandemic is gone i will give myselfe an gift to my 50 year birthday,an concert ticket if you guys play somewhere in scandinavia
I'm thinking the same - I have a travel bug Want to add another few countries to my list
When this is over I will go to every concert I am able to visit...
@@SuperMario0972 Hopefully there will still be some airlines, so many are going bust
I will be 50 next June and NW live is at the top of my bucket list!
I was cheated out of the big one in Tampere this year... Iron Maiden would have been excellent...
Que maravilloso encontrarse algo de Latinoamérica que no sea Argentina 🙄 y aún mejor que sea en Colombia 🇨🇴 🖤❤️

It makes me happy to see them play the elven jig. It was originally a traditionnal irish jig called monaghan jig ! :)
This has such awesome shots of the band! Darn this whole video ist awesome. Love these two songs!
My dream is that one day Nightwish do a whole concert with Floor and Tarja, an epic moment for music history.
It's hard to digest the sadness of Marko's leaving.
We can only pray that there's a chance for his return. Nightwish has adapted to other losses and kept creating great music. They'll definitely have to change without their secret lead singer. But while seeing Tarja back on stage with them is a pipe dream, I'll have to keep hope that isn't the case for Marko.
Let’s keep hope that his health improves and he feels like playing for us again. He said he may come back one day, so it is a possibility.
He was the start of the demise
No king rules forever, my son.
@V. S. Werejester Yes, I saw them them twice in this summer, and it was still magical and wonderful, even without our dear, so loved Marko. I wish all of them joy and happiness whatever the decide to do
It's totally insane...the whole band is phenomenal BUT no matter the genre the song, the time,the language,she makes everything better
I was THERE. I'm crying.... thanks thanks thanks!!!
This was THE song that got me in to Nightwish world back then, forever..
Так или иначе, Nightwish уже навсегда врубили свою страницу в историю рока.

Tuomas was totally feeling it. Props to Floor for managing to sing the lyrics without grinning overly much. :P
Yeah, Tuomas was 20, when he wrote this one. :)
Props to Tuomas for being the foundation which so much is built upon.
I love you Empu! As long as Emppu is in the band the world will be ok 💛😅

Remembering '99 when Elvenpath was running on full volume in a constant loop in my car.
I'm a simple person: I see nightwish uploads a new video, I press like
The best moment of this song start in 7:18 ! (Of course all song are very-very good, but finish of this song - fantastic!!!)

Wouwee what an amazing band nightwish is powerful vocals great tempo changers can't wait for more. Cheers
I love these videos and watching the band having a great time on stage. Keep them coming please !
The Elvenjig at the beginning is awesome !! I wished there was a longer version.
The most beautiful Monoghan Jig I've ever heard.
For me, Angels fall first is the best album, it is magic, is just perfect 😁
Awesome Music and Awesome Poetry and so true for this generation of young people...
Keep up the great music and poetry.

Yes, but Elvenpath is still Tarja's song. Floor cannot compare to her with this song.

I was there that wonderful and magic night with my two sisters. We love Nightwish! Please come again!
Absolutely stunning performance! Yeah, Nightwish rules!

This crazy masterpiece is definitely the Path to Valinor.
Cool it Ar-Pharazôn, 2020 was destructive enough without the wrath of Eru...
Funny enough, visuals during the Elvenpath remind me of Helcaraxe.
