One of my favorite songs by Anette. Ballads by Nightwish are really emotional so no surprise this one hits you. And you got a guitar solo that beautifully breaks in. And the cluster with vocals in the end, what a gospel metal feeling. Thänx for the reaction, greetings from Nightwish land.
Meadows of Heaven is my all time fav Anette song. Her voice fits in so perfectly i dont even want to (or need to) listen Floor singing this one. And yeah, it hits me everytime too... Congrats Naka.
I also cannot understand from where on earth Tuomas always -song by song- draws these beautiful, haunting melodies. He is absolutely one of the greatest Composers and also such a great lyrical Mastermind. I,m mesmerized of his talent. This was also perfect song for Anette's voice, very beautiful and powerful. Goose pumps all over. I'm so happy Nightwish exists and has given us fans mesmerizing music experiences already since 1996. Thank you very much for reacting this Masterpiece 🤘🙏
I think that this song Tuomas really wrote with personal emotions and fitted it for Anette who did awesome job. And yes I suppose there is a choir in the end with Anette and Marco.
@@ruma9687 it is Metro Voices Choir (London), they work closely with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, that Tuomas uses a lot also for the Orchestral instruments and effects.
Every time Naka gets emotional listening to a Nightwish song, my eyes fill up with tears too 🥺. I don't miss my childhood, I mean, I wouldn't want to return there, but I miss that feeling of awe and wonder that only young chidren are able to experience. When you're an adult, the world around you doesn't look so magical anymore 😔. No doubt, Tuomas often feels nostalgic for his lost childhood, therefore this is a recurrent theme in many Nightwish songs...This feeling is described very well in DT's legendary 'A Change Of Seasons' too, but that's a whole different story. 😁
Very beautifully composed & sensitively performed, I do agree that Anette does not have the vocal strength of Tarja & Floor, but then again she was very, very productive with Nightwish in that mid-era, also agree that she really shines with Slow love slow, & also with Scaretale...
Also prior November 2013 Troy has appeared on almost every studio album and live concert as a guest musician, even if he was not a member of Nightwish.
i think Troy was with them on this song ... i really enjoyed your reaction to this Naka ... made my day .. I have subscribed .. i love Anette .. i fell in love with her early on ..
Very nice reaction, thanks. @5:27 This is what the HVMAN. :ll: NATVRE. would have needed. I think this kind of parts alone can lift the whole feeling of the album a lot. And oh how I miss Emppu's solos.
This song is so reassuring, I always dream of a future where nothing bad is left and everything is perfect. In total peace. Anette's voice really comes into its own in this song.
What do you consider her strengths? if I think of the three singers her tone and fragility of voice suits this perfectly. The other two lead singers Nightwish have had, have too much weight in their voices for this song. It's always personal taste though.
@@mnewm21 Anette is best for rapid-fire lyrics and a more witchy and/or playful tone, as far as I'm concerned. She's not bad otherwise, but she can't reach the heights of Tarja ...and Floor easily outclasses her in most ways.
@@StergiosMekras For me she is great in this song, and when i think about Anette her strength for me is just singing in the studio, or better said her biggest weakness is singing live.
@@StergiosMekras ok. I was curious as it is interesting to see where people place singers. For me this song is perfect for her as I really like the contrast between her voice and the choral singers. I don't know that she was the right choice for Nightwish really as the existing fans were never going to take to her very different sound and I think that is where Floor succeeds. Her abillity to capture the essence of the Tarja era songs without copying them sound by sound.
I lost my mom this year and the thought of going home to visit and her not being there killed me... then I discovered this song and Anette destroyed me and built me back up again 😢😢😢
Hi Naka! Nice uncommon song to react to. And yeah It's like a gospel choir. I don't recognize Marko's voice but maybe he is also in there xD Totally agree with Slow Love Slow! That's her best no doubt, I've saying it to every RUclipsr lol
Tuomas always brings out the deepest emotions in all of us. Should check out Floor's newly released, a bit of metal cover of "Let it Go" from Frozen. Her daughter has been singing it around the house for months, sooooo....
Huh ... every time I think I've seen pretty much all Nightwish reactors (at least those who stay on it for more than 1 or 2 songs) someone totally new pops up. 😅 And you already seem to know so much. Nice reaction, nice seeing the emotions! 😊 So ... although you have metalhead in your name, I have a suggestion that's not exactly metal. Check out The Warning if you like. They're 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico doing hard/alternative rock. They love crashing stereotypes! And they're really good despite also being really young! 😊 Have a nice day! 😊
Трой начал работу с Nightwish именно с этого альбома, тогда ещё как приглашённый музыкант. Со следующим альбомом он даже отправился с ними в тур и только потом его пригласили "на постоянку". P.S. Да, и хор всё тот же, с которым группа до сих пор работает на каждом альбоме ещё со времён Once (2004) - лондонский Metro Voices. Просто для этой песни им поставили немного другую задачу чем обычно. :)
I don't enjoy Floors version of Amereth. She sing many Annette era songs well but definately not that one. BTW a real Annette era tear jerker is her first nightwish release. EVA
Totally agree with you that Annette is a great vocalist, just not the best fit for Nightwish! That said, there are several of her's with Nightwish that I like her voice on the most, this is one of them. Agree too, that my High School experience in Choir was both very enjoyable and educational! Cheers Naka, keep up the good work! :-)

Goosebumps. Every time. Annette absolutely *crushed* this, and with the Gospel backing singers…they raised it to a spiritual experience!

Thank you for watching!
Who the hell disliked that?
My God some people need a heart replacement/addition
Ah, don't bother, they're clearly in the minority. XD Thanks for the support, though ;)
This song always crushes me! Anette's voice was lovely, and the choir near the end gives me almost Pink Floyd vibes.
This is actually my favourite Nightwish song 🎵
Troy was employed as a session musician on this album. It was his first introduction to the band.
Meadows of Heaven is my all time fav Anette song. Her voice fits in so perfectly i dont even want to (or need to) listen Floor singing this one. And yeah, it hits me everytime too... Congrats Naka.

It is not a church choir, as Nigthwish is secular, but it is the London Philharmonic choir.
They made it sound like a gospel choir though, normal classical choirs don't have riffs like that
This is ALSO a good NW song..really emotional..yes childhood is a really important part of our lives..liked your reaction 😍
Super underrated song by Nightwish!
The guy playing the pipes and the flute is Troy. He wasn't an official member by then, but already played as a guest musician in some songs
What an honest reaction. You seem to be a wonderful human being with big heart. :)
I think that this song Tuomas really wrote with personal emotions and fitted it for Anette who did awesome job. And yes I suppose there is a choir in the end with Anette and Marco.
There's not. The choir's name is mentioned in the albums booklet. Metro voices or something like that
@@ruma9687 it is Metro Voices Choir (London), they work closely with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, that Tuomas uses a lot also for the Orchestral instruments and effects.
For me this is Annette at her very best - and a hauntingly beautiful song 🤘
Who doesn't miss childhood , melancholy overload

Tranquility 🇧🇾🇦🇷
Very beautifully composed & sensitively performed, I do agree that Anette does not have the vocal strength of Tarja
& Floor, but then again she was very, very productive with Nightwish in that mid-era, also agree that she really shines
with Slow love slow, & also with Scaretale...

So I've been told))
The soloist at the end is Tommy Blaize from the Gospel Choir
I so love Anette's warm voice
Naka, great job !
Ach te nasze słowiańskie dusze. Pozdrowienia z Polski 😉
i think Troy was with them on this song ... i really enjoyed your reaction to this Naka ... made my day .. I have subscribed .. i love Anette .. i fell in love with her early on ..
Annette shines in this song 🙂... A similar song, theme wise is "Angel's fall first" and "Our Decades in the Sun" 🤗
I really need to revisit those!
Very nice reaction, thanks. @5:27 This is what the HVMAN. :ll: NATVRE. would have needed. I think this kind of parts alone can lift the whole feeling of the album a lot. And oh how I miss Emppu's solos.
Human Nature is a major letdown. And little Emppu's solos are just memories of the past, unfortunately
Kiitos.
To me this is best Anett song
I appreciate you so much Naka! Really loved the reaction for this. :) Honestly very nice and awesome!
Troy was with them, but wasn't a full member of the band yet.
This song is so reassuring, I always dream of a future where nothing bad is left and everything is perfect. In total peace. Anette's voice really comes into its own in this song.
NAKA SHOWING YOUR FEELINGS MAKES YOU MORE BEAUTIFUL, ONLY PASSION DRIVES ART, LET IT GO OUT, AND I CAN GET IN LOVE. GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA.
Ironically, not a song where Anette's strengths shine, still great to listen to.
Well, I told what song I think she shines in most :)

Acoustic version in her house ;

And yeah It's like a gospel choir. I don't recognize Marko's voice but maybe he is also in there xD
Totally agree with Slow Love Slow! That's her best no doubt, I've saying it to every RUclipsr lol
Sorry but Troy has been with Nightwish in some capability since 2007. He is in Islander video even, where Anette still is.
Tuomas always brings out the deepest emotions in all of us. Should check out Floor's newly released, a bit of metal cover of "Let it Go" from Frozen. Her daughter has been singing it around the house for months, sooooo....
Yes, it's definitely in my nearest plans!
Check out Anette in The dark element, with the song "the ghost and the reaper", you won't regret it
Huh ... every time I think I've seen pretty much all Nightwish reactors (at least those who stay on it for more than 1 or 2 songs) someone totally new pops up. 😅
And you already seem to know so much.
Nice reaction, nice seeing the emotions! 😊
So ... although you have metalhead in your name, I have a suggestion that's not exactly metal.
Check out The Warning if you like. They're 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico doing hard/alternative rock. They love crashing stereotypes! And they're really good despite also being really young! 😊
Have a nice day! 😊
What an ending. Great suggestion. Less reacted to a song for no good reason.
Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Cheers!

I don't agree, wacken'13 Amaranthe is totally badass. I stated loving that song because of that record...
Have you heard the new single from Daniel Tompkins? Hope you react to it. It's pretty good!
Totally agree with you that Annette is a great vocalist, just not the best fit for Nightwish! That said, there are several of her's with Nightwish that I like her voice on the most, this is one of them.
