Why do people want to criticize Anette? Comparing her to Tarja or Floor is unfair. She is her own person. She is not Tarja or Floor. She helped Nightwish give us great songs like this one! This is one of my favourite songs by the band.
George Maines Couldn't agree with you more.
Blackveilhotel I think Anette would have sounded great on the new record. There is only one song that might have given her trouble. I think 'Our Decades in the Sun' would have been hard for her to sing (as well as Floor did), but I can't hear Floor or Tarja singing 'Slow Love Slow' as well as Anette.
I agree with you once more, but I do think Anette could sing the song 'Our Decades in the Sun' if there were some changes and if she would sing it slightly lower. But Floor did an amazing job on that song, she did an amazing job on the entire record. And Anette was great on Dark Passion Play and an AMAZING job on Imaginaerum. They are all great singers in their own way. I do miss Anette , but I think Floor will grow on me, just as Anette did back then.
Blackveilhotel That's cool! We both hate to see the singers of Nightwish compared to each other. It makes no sense to do that. They are different people with different voices. We're all different! None of us are exactly the same.
Indeed! We should all just appreciate all the band members and ex-members as well. They all do and did great jobs. I mean that's what we are here for right? To listen to the beautiful music they have created together!
I think Marco's softer stuff is way underrated. Songs like this one, or The Islander, are masterfully crafted. I love the folky influences in these songs
The islander what a song one of my nightwish favourites by far
You're very right. I LOVE Marco's voice in this, in The Islander and in While Your Lips Are Still Red.
Amazing how the guy known as the "metalhead" of the band is behind this beautiful, peaceful music.
being a metalhead doesnt mean that you love only love metal. metalheads can listen to pop, rap or dubstep, but thats quite rare. im speaking as a metalhead myself, and i like this kind of music and still... its called symphonic metal, isnt it? :)
MetalSnailP.TV Sure ! There were absolutely no judgement of value in what I said before, my apologies if it appears so. I'm myself completly in love with metal, and yet listening to jazz from 20s or "classical music".
Glad to hear! It seems that you and I have the same taste in music and Im sorry if my reaction from earlier seemed hostile although it wasnt meant to be
No problem at all, I perfectly understand your reaction, actually. My first comment was just meant to say that "metalheads" are not only amazing at creating metal stuff but also less "metal-ish" music. A proof that metal is one of the most open music genres, you know, and maybe that categories are just conventional fancies...
And I should say, really nice profile pic, my friend !
1. Glad we understood each other :)
2. Thanks
Seriousley who dislikes this, this song if pure magic
This is one of the most beautiful songs they've ever created
As much as I love Tarja and recognize Floor's ability, none of them could've pulled this off.
This song is Anette's, she has the sweetness, the heart and the storytelling voice.
From a technical point, Anette may be the weakest singer, but from an artistic point, she's the one who inspired Tuomas his most beautiful tunes. She might not blow you away with power like Tarja and Anette can do, but she'll gently ravish you with softness. And really, Nightwish needs these two aspects.
They think that the louder , better. End of the game. People can't really see things out of the obssessively blind point of view. Like pop fandoms and shit. Kids today can't judge anything unless making comparisons
this is her strong suit. totally perfect.
Kevin Blank Yes. and of course that beautiful voice of storyteller has developed even more in The Dark Element!
Anette was picked for her voice that matches mine the most, and the ClA made sure that DPP and Imaginaerum would be their best albums, because they included many references to me in many songs on those 2 albums, while the songs Eva and Cadence Of Her Last Breath are about me -- for those that don't know, Anette is a type of agent, and the ClA got her to join NW in order to sing those important songs that are about me, her voice matching my own voice more than any other singer's, as they also wanted me to train my own voice by singing along with the songs sung by Anette in the background, which is how one develops the right belting technique that Anette was taught by the ClA via hypnosis...
imaginerium might be the strongest album from end to end
doug marcus couldn’t agree more !
Totally agree! Pure beauty!
It is my favourite album of all time. It's such a pleasure to listen to it everytime, the order of the tracks is perfect and does justice to the diversity of the album.
Right there with you!
Agree!!!
This song is in a way my way saying goodbye to my adopted grandmother....she passed away several months ago this year ...I miss her so much....
It occurred to me, that all the nightwish ladies (floor, tarja & Annette) come together in a concert and sing this song, tarja sings about the hauntingly beautiful crow, floor sings about the elegant owl & Annette sings about the gentle dove.
THEY SHOULD DO A CONCERT WITH ALL THREE, NOW THAT WOULD BE A SHOW WORTH THE AGES !!!
PDI Dept
YAAASSSS!!!! XD
I think that the last part about the swan should be sung by Marco then since he is as much the solist as the others and he wrote this song :3
Renji
fair enough. (^.^)
disneydreamerdancer that would be awesome
Anette is steel....squeeze between iron n metal......she had powerful soothe style of her own,no copycat...and the most beautiful...
This Marvellous song is one of the brightest gems signed Nightwish. I Adore Tarja and Floor (two Goddesses!) but I have to admit that Anette's Voice is something Angelic, almost Heavenly in this wonderful touching sonic Poem, a timeless jewel with two Great Voices meeting perfectly... Something everybody should know to appreciate Great Music.
💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤❤💕❤💕❤💕
What a Beautiful song sung by Anette and Marco: Really I like it!
Guys....
This is...
Pure...
Soft Rock...
DONE WELL.
Symphonic metal ;) but yep its beautiful
Soft rock exactly. NW main genre is symphonic metal yes but this song isn't. Slow love slow too isn't metal but it doesn't mean it's bad. It's awesome.
Soft celtic metal...
Tip of the hat to Marco for writing this song on his own. I love it.
+MrFishManify Really?
I think, that Marco said, he wrote the lyrics for some songs, but music was always entrusted to Tuomas.
+Allen Burbank (Allen'sBear) yep :')
+Ha Vran no, Tuomas wrote all the lyrics and most of the music, but Marco wrote this beatiful music, and he colaborates in other songs
+MrFishManify He did? Awesome!
first time hearing this song and I LOVE... they sound so good
Soft Rain: Same here.
Did you ever watch the #1 fans video of this song, cool video
Now imagine all the mentioned birds are actually relationships that didn't work out, and each of them left a mark but was left behind.
Then try not to get emotional at the dove.
The part with the dove is just too sweet. That's where I can't bring myself to sing the last verse.
I prefer to see that as a children perspective.
I love this song. This band definitely knows how to mix soft and sad with hardcore and awesome. Modest Mouse is good at that too. I call these kinds of bands genre "beautiful melancholy".
Now that's a perfect description! :)
One of the things I love about Anette is that she knows sometimes less is more, and knows when to hold back. She ends this song SO quietly, to beautiful effect. One of my favorite Anette vocals.
My favorite album of Nightwish
Can't help but think of Nightwish's vocalists hearing this: the proud crow as Tarja, the wise owl as Marco, the gentle dove as Anette, and the graceful swan as Floor. Even the timeline when they joined Nightwish fit with the order the birds are introduced, even though this was written before Floor's arrival!
Hey... wow... Wish we one day see them all together on stage...
Can't help but laugh at everybody saying it's not Gar tuht River, ger te rheged. Take a look at the lyrics in the cd booklet. It's quite clearly that. It's sung in the song by Troy Donockley. It's a celtic phrase it translates as get to the river you will arrive in fairyland. Anyway it's a beautiful tune.
Wow. Now I know what that is.
I wonder which dialect it is Irish or Scottish Gaelic? I am assuming it is Irish since Troy plays the Irish bagpipe.
@@cloudstrifeification I'm not entirely sure as it goes back to before there was any separate dialect between Irish and Scottish. Its difficult to find much more info on the subject than what I found out. If you find any more information let me know.
I love Nightwish, but it is absolutely not any Celtic language, living or dead.
@@joecato1138 I may of course be wrong but I posted what the most common explanation was after reading hundreds of posts explaining. It was that it's a dead language close to celtic. Especially when you put it into translate it wants to translate from Welsh to English
One of the most beautiful Nightwish songs... Love it.
Love Marco's voice in this tune
Yes, his vocal tone is beautiful
i don’t care which singer is better than which. I like Nightwish’s music. Case closed.
Another Nightwish masterpiece !
I want to cry, songs of Nightwish really touch the heart and calm down the soul 😭💖
Favorite album, no doubt.
This is so beautiful, how Marco can sing so well, so pure, so perfect ❤
The whole album accompanied me through my long term relationship. I made her cry while listening to this song and the Song of Myself-poem. We emptied a bottle of Imaginaerum wine while watching the movie in cinema. And when she told me, she didn't love me anymore, I returned to this song, realising that I in fact needed nothing she could give to me...still, from the bottom of my heart, I deeply miss my swan of white
oh my god. How sad.
same my heart is still broken never to be fixed
@@kevinpicton639 Is it fixed yet?
Tyto Alba please 😿❤️ I feel for you, friend . Everything will be alright, you’ll see.
holy... that’s deep. sorry for you, must’ve been hard. but it will pass, you are everything you need
I love Marco's voice!
i wish they had more songs like this
+Cody b maybe 'The Islander'
turn loose mermaids?
This is proof that even soft metal kicks ass
Anette is her own person, and will, and always will be Special in Nightwish, just like Tarja(my favorite) and Floor. they are all good in their own way, just remember that!
this is the album that made me fall in love with annete
Beautiful. Just simply beautiful.
One can give overwhelming love and great promises to the hearts content, but in reality those are just words. What matters is the truth and honesty in those words. "Do you love me? Just tell me the truth."
I've been there and I love the concept of this song.
I am more of a melodic-death metal (In Flames type) metalhead...but fuck all the haters..NIGHTWISH IS EPIC!
So are you into Amorphis?
This was used to be the song I listened with a girl that I've truely felt in love with years ago...
And here I am today, still listening to this song. Without anything to say about her.
But if you are still enjoying this song, I wish you the best.
I found this song about 4 years ago, forgot about it, then now I've found it again. It's so beautiful I'm surprised I could actually forget it
Me now
Anette shines so bright here
nobody at my school has heard of Nightwish... forever alone...
+Hybrid Dimension i feel you *sympathy hugs*
+Hybrid Dimension introduce them!
+Joshua Brunton tried that. a lot of people complain about the music being too long -_-
whaaaaat. Most Nightwish songs are reasonably lengthed, unless they're used to shitty 2-3 minute pop songs. Ooor uless you're trying to get them to listen to The Poet and The Pendulum, then I could understand that xD
+Hybrid Dimension me too
I said I like Nightwish.
They answer literally: Night-what?! what's that?
Me: a band from Finland ¬¬
They: is that a country?
me: *facepalm*
Como uma banda consegue ser tão perfeita?
How come I haven't heard this song before now? THIS IS AMAZING!
This album was definitely a different taste of Nightwish but the taste is still delightful. It is definitely one of those albums where it feels better listening on a nice, peaceful night than during the daytime. It's like a savory wine you keep saved just for those nights while alone.
I'm a new(ish) Nightwish listener, but I love this song and this album as a whole. We know the album is about an aging composer in the twilight of his life, counting his regrets as his health betrays him. I think this song is about two desires that are opposed to one another: The desire for truth,, and the desire for innocence. This piece is a duet to give form to these mutually-exclusive, opposing wishes, and the whole piece illustrates a man trying to navigate his own legacy.
My favorite song from this album! So incredibly beautiful!
Omg where have I been?! How i miss this beautiful song so long.
such a beautiful voice and song.
as someone that listened to this album over and over ... go watch the movie... the album and all its lyrics change for you with a story behind it
Anybody else here ever wondered if a parrot, a chicken, and an ostrich would come to them next?
Don't forget the Kookaburra, the Cassowary and the penguin! :-P
But I'd need nothing they could give :D
"A parrot came to me, chattering,
And bit me till I bled.
I threw a rock and cussed like a sailor
But needed nothing it had.
A chicken waddled to me, warbling,
Expecting to be fed,
She ate my corn and left an egg,
But...actually, I _do_ need eggs. Thanks, Chicky!
An ostrich gray, he came to me,
He kicked me hard, right in the meat!
I came to rest a few yards back,
And I sure as Hell did not need that!"
...something like that. >_
@@BloodyBay I wheeze
so please
bring peace
and me at ease
cause your words still tease
my serotonin - sadness freeze
all rhymes left are greece and cheese
so goonnight and find good sleep!
@@cloudymoon2494 Quick! Where's the "HaHa" emoji? :-D
Oh, wait...this is RUclips, not Facebook. Daggit! :-D
Thank you for the subtitles. Now I finally know that "Ger te rheged" isn't being sung and not "Got to lick it". ^^..
After trying to listen to some spice girls songs (because i wanted to see why my friend was so obsessed with them) I gave up and went back to Nightwish. Way more meaningful lyrics and beautifully composed music. I think I would feel lost without Nightwish. Even as a child I never seemed to enjoy the songs that everyone else listened to and I constantly felt alone. I remember feeling peaceful and happy when I listened to one of their songs for the first time (Sleeping Sun) and it was just so beautiful and different
+patrycja bober That comparison is entirely unfair to the Spice Girls. It's like taking a football team of blind 5 year olds and comparing them with the teams that compete for the World Cup. The sheer musicianship and amount of effort that goes into composing and recording a single Nightwish song dwarfs the Spice Girls' entire career.
I feel absolutely the same- the first time I listened to each sung it felt like it was written just for me, and now each time I hear one it feels like I'm melting into a hug.
My first song was also Sleeping Sun
That's true. Every elitist who says "NW sucks!!!1" should listen to some pop to understand what good music is😊
That makes NW so unique and great. They have their own world and deeply meaningful intelligent songs and themes with poetical lyrics and beautiful melodies like in here plus wonderful female voices. Tuomas is a genius of art.
I miss the old nightwish, I miss the newer nightwish. Sadly the new nightwish is nowhere near these songs. But I'm glad I can relive all my favorite songs (like this) here on RUclips. My favorite band of all bands out there. I adore their music and all they had to give.
this song deserves more attention!
My whole body has goosebumps during the whole song
My absolute favorite album and always will be!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
When i listen this song I've feel so lonely,but not sad,I don't know what's happen,in same time I want to cry and go to the someplace and stay to the rest of my life.
BEST SONG EVER... I LOVE THIS
I love the two albums with this singer the most , don't care for the two after imaginarium. This singer is the best studio/album singer.
So powerful song..love it
Once again, this song brought a tear to my eye
This song tells a story that are deep ...very deep,Its my favorite for personal reasons with hard knock life shit.
Oh my, what am I doing right now? After a rather sleepless night I'm sitting upright in bed, thinking about my life and the 'birds'. The swan always makes be tear up, perhaps the person I miss the most in my life. Ironically, she's just in plain sight, it's so bizarre. Whenever I play this one on guitar, it's moving even her to tears.
I should try to finally get some sleep
I'm in love with these lyrics and sounds.
Esta canción es tan mágica, tan sublime. Siento en escarba en lo más íntimo de mi ser, que saca un cúmulo de emociones que yo mismo ignoraba y que aún así, no termino de entender. Escucho esta canción con los ojos cerrados, y me encuentro a mí mismo haciendo gestos de dolor, de sorpresa, de satisfacción, sin comprender por qué. El violín del último coro -¡ese bendito violín!- me saca una lágrima cada que lo escucho. Sin lugar a dudas es mi canción favorita entre toda la música que he escuchado. Obra maestra.
Esta canción me hace sentir cosas parecidas, de verdad la disfruto mucho.
favorite nightwish song
You know what? I will definitely give the Annette albums some serious credit here. Her voice goes SO much better with Marco's. They sound amazing together! With Tarja and Floor, there's just to much of a gap between them, with the best example being the Phantom of the Opera cover. Marco has a great voice, but it's to gruff and heavy and doesn't go well with the pure opera of Floorja. He works as a good counterpoint to those two, but you can only do that so much. Here though? They harmonize almost perfectly.
it's unreal, I can't stop repeating this masterpiece!
I love how the " wi " sounds when she says "wisdom"
I love this song very beautiful
What a beautiful song...😍
I still say Anette is the most versatile of the three Nightwish vocalists. She could do high and delicate on the ballads like this one and Turn Loose the Mermaids (with its folksy lilt,) jazzy like in Slow Love Slow, musical theater like in Scaretale, belty and gritty like in Amaranth. And she could vary the tone and timbre of her voice to suit the song, like she does in I Want My Tears Back - I swear it could be two different singers in that song between the verses to the chorus. And no, I'm not talking about Marco's part! The one thing Anette couldn't do (and which Tuomas said he didn't want after Tarja left) was operatic. Her voice also didn't have the power or the longevity of Tarja's or Floor's which became a problem on the long grueling tours they put her through. (The DPP tour was almost two years!) Still, Anette is my favorite of the three vocalists, great as Tarja and Floor both are.
This is just a beautiful song. Five stars.
This came up on my RUclips feed and I suddenly remembered that the first time I had heard it was actually on Thanksgiving Day of 2011...November 24. So I guess for me, the song is six years old today.
Even in 2018 Imaginaerum is still one of my best albums of time. My opinion is that this album was perfectly written for Anette, just like subsequent work was perfectly written for Tarja and Floor. :D
Tuomas is a master and knows his singers ; )
Anette has beautiful voice. I love songs in which she sings with Marco. But maybe I'm a nut...
This song is just amazing.
Im not a big fan of nightwish but this slbum is simply beautiful
This song is freaking melodious. Beautifully done. They really know the songs sung by the sirens.
this is perfect for the image i was drawing
+Monochrome Batrex same
People need to get over themselves.
Tarja was a legend.
Annette was awesome as hell.
Floor has a great voice.
THEY'RE ALL AWESOME. END OF STORY.
Tarja legend? Where?
Thank you
such beuty the best song i've ever heard in my life
Simply a beautiful song.
Amazing song, so beautiful xx
I adore her voice... These songs can be only hers...
My god, this song is beautiful. Thank you so much for uploading it.
Can we just take some time to appreciate what we enjoy most about songs like this that have so many upsides you can write a book about it......
Instead of making pointless talk about who is singing it.
i love this song
Me encanta este grupo, acabo de conocerlos y ya me enamore de todos.
Honestly the best song on the album in my opinion.
No me des amor, no me des fe
Sabiduría ni orgullo, da en cambio inocencia
No me des amor, he tenido mi parte
Belleza ni descanso, dame la verdad en su lugar
Un cuervo voló hacia mí, mantuvo su distancia
Una creación tan orgullosa
Vi su alma, envidié su orgullo
Pero no necesita nada que tuviera
Un búho vino a mí, viejo y sabio
Atravesado a través de mi juventud
Aprendí sus formas, envidié su sentido
Pero no necesita nada que tuviera
No me des amor, no me des fe
Sabiduría ni orgullo, da en cambio inocencia
No me des amor, he tenido mi parte
Belleza ni descanso, dame la verdad en su lugar
Una paloma vino a mi, no tenia miedo
descansaba en mi brazo
Toqué su calma, envidié su amor
Pero no necesita nada que tuviera
Un cisne de blanco, ella vino a mi
El lago reflejaba su dulce belleza.
Besé su cuello, adoré su gracia
Pero no necesitaba nada que pudiera dar
Río Gar tuht, Ger te Rheged
Río Gar tuht, Ger te Rheged
Río Gar tuht, Ger te Rheged
Río Gar tuht, Ger te Rheged
Río Gar tuht, Ger te Rheged
Río Gar tuht, Ger te Rheged
No me des amor, no me des fe
Sabiduría ni orgullo, da en cambio inocencia
No me des amor, he tenido mi parte
Belleza ni descanso, dame la verdad en su lugar
No me des amor, no me des fe
Sabiduría ni orgullo, da en cambio inocencia
No me des amor, he tenido mi parte
Belleza ni descanso, dame la verdad en su lugar
No me des amor, no me des fe
Sabiduría ni orgullo, da en cambio inocencia
No me des amor, he tenido mi parte
Belleza ni descanso, dame la verdad en su lugar
yet another masterpiece by annette. Tarja and floor fans on life support
wow i love this song!
Best lyrics for a song I've ever heard.
is it just me, or does the lyrics sound like a prayer
could be. part of the focus of their music refers directly to faith and whatnot.
I just finally understood that the crow, the owl, the dove and the swan, at least for me, are the persons whom with the singers spent their lives. Their past partners, friends or maybe even family. But none of them could give the singes what they needed
Wonderful... how fantastic to showcase all three vocalists.
E-E-E-EPIC SONG! It's so beatiful :]
Gib mir nicht Liebe, gib mir nicht Treue
Weder Weisheit noch Stolz, gib mir stattdessen Unschuld
Gib mir nicht Liebe, ich habe meinen Anteil gehabt
Weder Schönheit noch Schonung, gib mir stattdessen die Wahrheit
Eine Krähe flog zu mir, blieb auf Distanz
Solch eine stolze Entstehung
Ich sah ihre Seele, beneidete ihren Stolz
Aber brauchte nichts, was sie hatte
Eine Eule kam zu mir, alt und weise
Durchbrach meine Jugend
Ich lernte ihre Arten, beneidete ihren Sinn
Aber brauchte nichts, was sie hatte
Gib mir nicht Liebe, gib mir nicht Treue
Weder Weisheit noch Stolz, gib mir stattdessen Unschuld
Gib mir nicht Liebe, ich hatte meinen Anteil
Weder Schönheit noch Schonung, gib mir stattdessen die Wahrheit
Eine Taube kam zu mir, hatte keine Angst
Sie blieb auf meinem Arm
Ich berührte ihre Gelassenheit, beneidete ihre Liebe
Aber brauchte nichts, was sie hatte
Ein Schwanenweiß, sie kam zu mir
Der See spiegelte ihre Schönheit süß
Ich küsste ihren Nacken, verehrte ihre Anmut
Aber brauchte nichts, was sie mir geben konnte
Musste ihr wehtun, musste es zerstören
Musste ihr wehtun, musste es zerstören
Musste ihr wehtun, musste es zerstören
Gib mir nicht Liebe, gib mir nicht Treue
Weisheit noch Stolz, gib stattdessen Unschuld
Gib mir nicht Liebe, ich hatte meinen Anteil
Weder Schönheit, noch Schonung, gib mir stattdessen die Wahrheit
The part where troy sings....Is it ,Got to grieve her, got to wreck it ? or what is listed above? Anyone doubting Annete.......Two words Dark Element! Imaginaerum is one of the best of all time.
It is in Celtic and I think It means Go to river you will see a Fairy.
@@Omega-fb9ji Really dude? You just read that a few comments below and say "I think" :) Lol
I love each era of Nightwish from Tarja to Anette to Floor now!
Such a great song.
Depois de 11 anos agora posso escutar essa música de novo eu n poderia pedir um momento melhor que esse na minha vida. Essa noite acaba de ficar perfeita
