I do...and just wonder how great music, lyrics, and singing with strong emotions and message they were able to make. Comparison to many bands : NW 10 - other 1.
@@oceannssoul Someone commented a few days ago on Reddit saying he loved that song so much that he'd got a tatto of it. I don't remember If he mentioned Beauty And The Beast or Beauty Of The Beast
Zavisi meni je ovo najbolja NW pesma ikad,steta sto je nisu izvodili puno na koncertima cak i sa Tarjom nisu puno.Voleo bih da ovu pesmu vrate i da je otpeva Floor da malo odmori od Ghost Love Score
I could not pick just one favourite over others. Love many of their songs, like reading the lyrics and try to decypher what or who those are refering to, but opt for enjoying them and surely do it. Nightwish is my headboard band.
So grand chorus in 8:08...statement which stays forever. Just can't stop wondering how Tuomas was able to compose and make something as great as this being pretty young still. Just put high quality headphones on and listen to this - you enter heaven.
This is my number one song of all time. What I wouldn't give to have had a Nightwish album between Century Child and Once, in the style of Century Child, with more masterpieces like this.
If you can’t find beauty in this, your soul is truly corrupted. Nightwish is easily the best band of our time, Tuomas’ endless creativity and devotion to his work and the insanely gifted band bring true magic into this world. I’d love to see them performing with a huge orchestra and chorus someday.
"Oh do you care? I still feel for you.. So aware, what should be lost is there". Love is the mother of all creation. That's why all their masterpieces are in the past.... Their most beautiful composition.
This is my song for me and my fiance, she found the beauty in my beast, NIGHTWISH is more than a band it's a experience, haven't had a experience like this since KISS and GNR.
Can you imagine what it takes to write and perform an epic this long so that it all sounds unified and flows together? It's a 10 minute fantasy novel basically.
Tuomas is good at that. Look at 'Ghost Love Score'. Or 'Song of Myself'. Not to mention 'Greatest Show on Earth' (which I am seriously considering to be his magnum opus at this point...) Even his shorter songs have that sort of feel to them. The man's a freaking genius.
I know! I am in awe of how many amazing pieces Tuomas can create, it took me ages just to write a 3 minute orchestral composition this week, and I feel drained at the end of it, like the act of putting out my music on paper, steals a piece of my soul. 💚
First Nightwish song I ever heard. Got me hooked pretty easily, and really one of my first introductions to the power metal genre... which I also got hooked on pretty easily. All these years later, I still adore this song.
Julia Tarunen watch you mouth lass, maybe nightwish is not a power metal band but it was created based on other power metal bands (you could read this about toumas's interviews. like gamma ray, blind guardian, etc.)
Sencer Coşkun Who cares?! I still don't understand why most of you people still separate music in so-called genres. Music is ONE thing, all that's bad music you shouldn't even consider it music(it doesn't exist).
"All of my songs can only be composed from the greatest of pains. Every single verse can only be borne of the greatest of wishes." Those two lines... They resonate with me... Not going into why beyond stating that I was REALLY stupid when I was younger...
One of my favourites- Grief is so deep in Tuomas and helps him create this superb songs. His lyrics are outstanding and give NW it´s poetry and meaning. Tuomas...Such a man in love with TRUE ART.
+Sol Holow Judging by his latest album I would say that currently he goes through one of his best life periods, his songs are full of life, they literally vibrate positivity.
+Bobby Truck Yes, but i meant the period until Dark passion play, and TT`s voice added even more melancholy to the lyrics. It was like a theatre of drama.
Gotta say, so many years later, I still love this song. It was my introduction into this genre of music. While Nightwish is not my favorite artist, they hold a special place to me for introducing me to so many other artists. So thank you Nightwish for this beautiful music.
I first thought of the last part in Song of Myself. It's the better part of 6 minutes of some of the most beautiful and poetic spoken word I've ever heard.
Just got done listening, this is clearly the best song from their newest album and I can't wait to see what else they have for their next alb...... Wait, have I had this song on repeat for 16 years without realizing and nightwish actually released 4 more albums since? Damn this is one good song.
Forgot about this song for a while, few days ago came across Nightwish and had to listen to this. Been in repeat for 2 hours now. Absolutely love this song
I hope , if humanity survives , one dayin the far future they gonna listen and study this and give props to people of this era , even with limited technology still able to produce such amazing masterpiece
I knew nightwish when I was 16 years old, Tarja was not singing with nightwish anymore (2006), today I'm 30 and this is still my favourite nightwish song.
how could you make such clever music and act so bad and silly and leave Tara go away? what a dreadfull error! ever since I never listen to your new songs with the new and so low female singer! shame on you!
As much as I love Floor, I don't want to hear her sing it. This song was not made for dramatically belting out high notes. This is meant for soft flowing ethereal vocals that are still strong enough to make you shiver. And that's not Floor's field to shine on, unfortunately.
Tarja probably had a big ego, which killed Nightwish when they kicked her out, but Toumas(Dont know how to spell it) composed all their songs, but it is sad for such an epic band to go up in flames
Each and every song from both Oceanborn and Wishmaster is better than "Ghost Love Score", I don't understand why people give so much attention to that average song.
Grosu Cosmin Ionut Average song? Wtf? Dude, it's not Tuomas' fault you can't comprehend poetry... And even if that's not enough for you, well just analize the structure of that piece of art. Not just in the musical partiture but in the narrative. It's the progressive story of an obsessive love being told with lyrics and notes according with the amount of feelings "felt" in that moment of the progression. Sorry bro, but someone who calls average to that masterpiece can not have my agreement nor my respect. Nothing against Oceanborn and Wishmaster I love them both and its songs but they're not at the same level than Ghost Love Score. Not even this Beauty of the beast which Is very well done structurally as well holds a candle against GLS.
Poet And The Pendulum demo version, as sung by Marko Hietala (yes, he writes his name with a k, look it up on the NW website, born with that name) > Beauty Of The Beast > Greatest Show On Earth > Song Of Myself - without the long narration filled with self-pity > Ghost Love Score, which is an overrated, overplayed boredom, absolutely generic

If I don't see this song used as fanmade music videos for the new Live-Action Beauty and The Beast Disney movie, I will be very disappointed in you RUclips.
I had a friend and I did madke him listen to this song because it's so good but he gave up after 8 minutes. I just thought how could he give up? This song is too good.
The problem with Nightwish is they have too many good songs
That's a problem?
Well, it's really hard to choose a favourite song :)
No, you're wrong. The problem with Nightwish is that they need to create *many more* good songs!
Truee
a good poblem
After so many years and countless time this masterpiece still soothing my ears
First time hearing this, was I living under a rock? yes.......yes I was......
Congrats on finally finding it!
Right? I've been listening for ten years... why did I neglect some songs?

What would be happening to world if Nightwish would unite with Antti Martikainen?🤔🙄😵🔥💥
One of the best songs I've listen to but the lyrics is the best I've heard/read.
Anyone else listen to this when they're in an emotional state?
I do...and just wonder how great music, lyrics, and singing with strong emotions and message they were able to make. Comparison to many bands : NW 10 - other 1.
Especially after a spat with the other half at 5:30 in the morning and playing this song on my way to work to calm down.
I listen everytime something reminds me of this song.
Anyone listen to this to put them into an emotional state?
3:09 it gets even more epic, then 5:46 happens!
PHENOMENAL
Just realized that the intro is basically the theme from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.
This song is criminally underrated

This is still fucking amazing, even after more than 10 years. This will stay as a masterpiece for the coming generations.
I agree with all of you. This is a true masterpiece. "10 minutes of pure epicness" :) It is also, sadly, the most underrated Nightwish song by far :(
Long songs are often underrated.
Tuomas said that century child was his most dark album that he ever wrote.
@@Ggdivhjkjl except Ghost Love Score. That is easily one of their most famous songs
Agreed. This is a masterpiece of Symphonic Metal.

Unpopular opinion: This is the best Nightwish song ever made!
Unpopular only because Nightwish has so. Many. Epic. Songs.
If it wasn't for angels fall first, maybe!
I could not pick just one favourite over others. Love many of their songs, like reading the lyrics and try to decypher what or who those are refering to, but opt for enjoying them and surely do it. Nightwish is my headboard band.
I think ghost love score (Tarja version) is better... but definitely beauty of the beast is my top 3 Nightwish songs
Its always been my favourite.
I feel bad that this song doesn't get as much acknowledgement as Ghost Love Score
the entire "century child" album is a masterpiece. i've liked all of nightwish's singers, but they have yet to top this album imo.
a person, I agree with you. They are consistent in delivering quality music, but Century Child is my favorite of their albums.
I agree. Still my favorite Nightwish album, and one of my favorite all time albums.
My favorite album for sure.

2 Masterpieces form Nightwish are
Beauty Of The Beast and Ghost love Score
The Greatest Show on Earth is the third masterpiece by them
song of myself is the 4th masterpiece :)
This is my number one song of all time. What I wouldn't give to have had a Nightwish album between Century Child and Once, in the style of Century Child, with more masterpieces like this.
And Poet and the pendulum
and Deep Silent Complete. . . of antologhy . . . ! Beauty x 1000
Ghost Love Score is great but Beauty of the Beast is better.
The ending of beauty of the beast is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard
My favorite part is- 'You told I had the eyes of a wolf, search them and find the beauty of the beast.'
If you can’t find beauty in this, your soul is truly corrupted. Nightwish is easily the best band of our time, Tuomas’ endless creativity and devotion to his work and the insanely gifted band bring true magic into this world.
I’d love to see them performing with a huge orchestra and chorus someday.
Jesus is God
Wise words dude....
"Oh do you care?
I still feel for you..
So aware, what should be lost is there".
Love is the mother of all creation. That's why all their masterpieces are in the past....
Their most beautiful composition.
This is the true definition of symphonic power metal genre, because it's powerful as fuck, being also a sweet symphony...
Perfect to dance to as well.

draga jelena :)
Soft, sad, ethereal... Tarjas voice is overwhelming on Century Child. Beauty of the Beast.. brilliant song. :)
Right....this is truly amazing song and performance.
This is my song for me and my fiance, she found the beauty in my beast, NIGHTWISH is more than a band it's a experience, haven't had a experience like this since KISS and GNR.
Can you imagine what it takes to write and perform an epic this long so that it all sounds unified and flows together? It's a 10 minute fantasy novel basically.
you think this is long, look at songs like "the Greatest Show on Earth" (also by Nightwish) at 25 minuets, or basically anything by Symphony X
Tuomas is good at that. Look at 'Ghost Love Score'. Or 'Song of Myself'. Not to mention 'Greatest Show on Earth' (which I am seriously considering to be his magnum opus at this point...) Even his shorter songs have that sort of feel to them. The man's a freaking genius.
"Thick as a Brick" and "Passion Play" by Jethro Tull
Not quite the same genre, but if you're into majestically long songs you'll love them.
Absolutelly
I know! I am in awe of how many amazing pieces Tuomas can create, it took me ages just to write a 3 minute orchestral composition this week, and I feel drained at the end of it, like the act of putting out my music on paper, steals a piece of my soul. 💚
"You told I had the eyes of a Wolf. Search them and find the beauty of the Beast."
The most beautiful phrase i have ever read!!! and loved!!!! so deep!!!!
Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you.....
-from another song of Nightwish :)
Balázs Novák The guy who writes these songs is just... a WIZARD with words. I swear.
+GemCat You should listen to the greatest show on Earth, he succeeded immortality with that.
This is a truly genius phrase
First Nightwish song I ever heard. Got me hooked pretty easily, and really one of my first introductions to the power metal genre... which I also got hooked on pretty easily.
All these years later, I still adore this song.
Power metal? Jesus Christ... That's not a power metal. Why? Cause power metal is a shit, and this is not a shit.
Julia Tarunen
You're right, this is epic symphonic metal.
Julia Tarunen watch you mouth lass, maybe nightwish is not a power metal band but it was created based on other power metal bands (you could read this about toumas's interviews. like gamma ray, blind guardian, etc.)

The first Nightwish song i heard was Amaranth... And GOD IT SUCKED XD....
Then i listened to Oceansoul and got hooked :D
Century Child is one of the greatest albums ever! Every song is full of Nightwish!
Such an epic song, even after all these years.
One of the most underplayed songs of theirs idk if they have played it in over 10 years:(
You are absolutely right!
"All of my songs can only be composed from the greatest of pains. Every single verse can only be borne of the greatest of wishes." Those two lines... They resonate with me... Not going into why beyond stating that I was REALLY stupid when I was younger...
One of their absolute best songs, which really doesn't get the hype it deserves.

masterpiece
Unbelievably magnificent ! This song gets better with every key change! Tuomas is a genius, and Nightwish is the Best.
This is the closest Nightwish was to progressive, and I wish they did more.
Absolutely. But I guess we can say that this song is just one shade of the music of Nightwish.
What should be lost is there... :´(

I'm the only one who love that bass line and sound ? Amazing Marco !
This song always makes my hair stand on end when Cristabel begins at 8:17.
Yeah, just unbelievable...
17 years later and I still get chills
Aaand that Is how Dead boy’s poem Is created...
10:21 minutes of fucking epicness. definitely one of my favs songs atm
I say the same !
this song is the best!!! I 💜 nightwish. Better than evanescence.
Oh my good Lord of the thunder Gods of metal music, they're is no comparison surly ? 😯
You have to be smoking some serious crack to compare evanescence to nightwish. Wtf
Reading them mentioned in same sentence kinda hurt my soul ngl
the first Nightwish song i heard was Gethesemane loved them from the start
And the first I've heard was... Stargazers.
My first Nightwish song was there cover of "Phantom of the Opera", and I fell in love.
My first was the instrumental version of "The Poet and the Pendulum". And when I found out that there was a version with lyrics I was just in awe.
Cel Works My first was the Kinslayer.
Mine was I wish I had an angel
I hear this intro and remember how obsessed was with this song during all my last year holidays. Superb song.
I LOVE those little speeches in these songs. It adds so much atmosphere and makes me shiver. It's... amazing.
+Hamster Munchies It's really quite haunting but beautiful.

Yes!
Please God, dont give it to Floor to ruin this one . Please
That fadeout gives me the shivers. Perfect.
I can't handle the tears .... 😭
The entire song is great, but the intro is ЕPIC!!!
Maybe the greatest song ever.
I can relate to this song on so many levels.
2020!!c'mon!!who's there with me!!!😭
Come back in the year 2024
Tarja&Tuomas were the best combination! nothing will ever top this! not Anette, not Floor! This is completly magical
Come on now. Marco has some pipes too, you can't deny it.
Sun Brolem while your lips are still red would be my fav
Tellulun Have you heard of Tarot? Its another band that Marco is the lead singer of.
with tarja every song was an opera, with her nightwish have been the gods of melodic-power metal
Epic !!!
*snap*
Wait how long was I listening to this
Isvoor Not long enough, that's for sure. I think you need to play it four more times.
Joshua Satterwhite I will just put it on listen on repeat.
Your mind will play it until you Die😍🤗🤔😢

When they asked what they should play next summer in Lahti I proposed this. Do the same plese!
I already did months ago!
I wish Nightwish, Within Temptation, & Evanescence would do a collaboration together. That'd be epic.
I hope , if humanity survives , one dayin the far future they gonna listen and study this and give props to people of this era , even with limited technology still able to produce such amazing masterpiece

Low female singer? Hahahaha what a child!
5:52 Those drums are just utter perfection. Thats the moment this song goes from Song to pure Dramatic Soundtrack :)
This song will always have a special place in my heart. The first time I listened to this was when I got out of a traumatizing chapter in my life.
Shivers down my spine and lump in my throat everytime hearing this one.
Favourite NW song.
this song is the quintessence of the maestro’s feelings for tarja. it's so beautiful and sad at the same time
i wanna hear this version with floor voice
A poppy version
As much as I love Floor, I don't want to hear her sing it. This song was not made for dramatically belting out high notes.
This is meant for soft flowing ethereal vocals that are still strong enough to make you shiver. And that's not Floor's field to shine on, unfortunately.
Chistabel(1797-1800) de Samuel Taylor Coleridge(1772-1834).
What the fuck. How am I finding this masterpiece just now?? I have a nightwish tattoo on my arm.

It's never too late to discover classics, mate 😉

That would be so cool if this was found in the Live-Action OST. I am not holding my breath, but it would be beautiful.
There's only one word to describe this song - EPIC.
I never really cry, but when I listen to this song I always cry
I ♥️ Tarja's deep voice at 03:55. Sounds awesome.
It sounds almost like something out of Norse mythology
i wish they performed in america more often. I want to go see them so bad!
5:22 I pray we get a good quality Floor Jansen version one day
i just love this song.. the guitar in the third part are awesome!
I had a friend and I did madke him listen to this song because it's so good but he gave up after 8 minutes.
I just thought how could he give up? This song is too good.
5:11 my home is faaarrrr
Back to the times when Nightwish was just Keys , Guitars , Vocals and inspiration.
Truly magnificent
I just absolutely adore Tarja Turunen's voice.
So true 🙂
Probably their best song ever
