Naked in midwinter magic Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter symbolic yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolves An agreement immemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany all charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey from a cave begins I want to hunt with the tameless heart I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame I want to hunt with the tameless heart I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow
@@gargamel1940 I really don't understand why, it seems like they are taking back the Annette version with floor and this song loose so much without the lyrical style singing ...
That version of Floor was dead ... I think Annette's version is even better than Tarja's version. Apart from the technical and fan side, my favorite version is from Annette, maybe because it’s a more speedmetal song in the chorus and at the end, so it went well with her voice.

@Mars Dunes I listened to the recently released 'Devil and the deep dark ocean' from the upcoming Bluray and 'Slayin the dreamer' but i love Floor much more here than Tarja. The problem i have with Tarja is that without belting operatic, it's collapsing. Floor is so much more versatile.
Annette sounds better with this song, Floor has to sings this song with a higher operatic voice in order to make it sound right. Annette mostly screamed the song, but got the right notes. That's why I love Tarja singing this song, only she could sing this song without a problem.

These songs where Tarja had a more operatic approach requires a spinto voice like Tarja's if you want to go operatic, otherwise it will lack the weight and power, Floor have a good head voice but it's pretty light cause she is a Lyric Soprano, not a Lyric-Spinto Soprano, she doesn't have that naturally dark tone and weight so even if she darkens her voice with with a low larynx it's still not the same as a natural Spinto, she compesates this with her strong belting and for songs where Tarja didn't go so operatic it works amazingly. They are just different singers with different vocal types, different qualties and some songs will just always work better for Tarja as they were written with her vocal type in mind.
Watched this concert yesterday! In my opinion Floor is the amazing singer. Am l the one who hears Stargazers in the Tuomas' solo? P. s. My English is bad.
Hay canciones donde floor hace un trabajo espectacular y logró darle mucho más carácter a las canciones. Pero en esta no me convence, suena muy pop con una letra bastante oscura con música power metal (debió ajustarse más a como los hacía en after forever)
Hearing this song from 3 different live shots I understand why Tuomas don't wanna' play old Nightwish songs. This songs were made for Tarja's vocal. No one else can handle it. Even Floor Jansen.
Wow, this is one of the greatest songs of nightwish, so many diferent variations and tempos. Floor's voice is just perfect and her stage presence it's just amazing!!!
@@thatmetaldude5190 To me he makes the instrumentation convoluted. :-) I understand they're trying to find something for him to do when they play them, but the older songs already had so much going on.
Lower key....ok...she cant support the high notes like tarja but she is unique by singing the song with her own style..totally different feeling but also good!!
I dont know mannn.. Tarja broke my virgin ears ever since i know Nightwish.. she put a very stable and high standard to this songs n nightwish itself.. sure anette and floor is good enough but i only got esrgasm when tarja sing those song.. but it just my opinion tho.. dont mocking me 😂
Dont think it is, no. There is a similar "pro shot" of Bloodstock's "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean", and that is crap compared to the Buenos Aires live version (which is official). The sound here is just... flat more than anything.
It's because she doesn't want to be Tarja wannabe... If she want she can sing using operatic voice, check Floor Jansen - Henk Poort Phantom of The Opera...
Greg The Eagle fair enough. I’m certainly not trying to take anything away from her. It just feels like it’s missing when I hear her do Nightwish’s really early pre-Once stuff, Sacrement Of The Wilderness and Elven Path in particular. I’ll take a look at her Phantom when I get the chance, thank you for the recommendation.
I think Floor just chose to interpret this song differently than Tarja. She must have felt a belting voice was more appropriate for the tune, since she can obviously sing operatic if she wanted.
Musically and melodically, studio version of the song is perfect. I don't understand why they mutilated it so much, Troy doesn't belong in this song at all.
По сравнению с альбомной записью где поет Тария, это звучит очень просто и голос "не такой" ... Если слышишь первый раз - да! Это охуенно и это круто! Но... При сравнении с тем, что было раньше - извините :(
@@SEBASTIANMETALLICA La flauta de Troy arruina la canción, Marco debería callarse y Floor canta en un tono entero más bajo. La canción se siente muy pesada y lenta..
That's because Floor isn't using her opera voice to sing this. Also depending on where this song is on the setlist, her voice is probably not able to go any higher. Tarja always sang this song last when this song was popular.

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter symbolic yet truthful
With a hungry choir of wolves
An agreement immemorial to be born
Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany all charming tunes
Of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the tameless
And the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from a cave begins
I want to hunt with the tameless heart
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow
Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights
From my cave I watch the land untamed
And wonder if some becoming season
Will make the angel melt in shame
I want to hunt with the tameless heart
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow
Only Tarja will make this song sound right.
She can do it Tarja style. They chose not to.
@@gargamel1940 I really don't understand why, it seems like they are taking back the Annette version with floor and this song loose so much without the lyrical style singing ...
No floor le pasa el trapo
Es muchisimo mas dificil cantarlo como lo hace floor que lo que hace tarja
@@BidonRacing I wouldn't believe him. It wouldn't make sense to make a song worse just to distance themselves from Tarja's heritage

Agreed. Anette killed this song. One of the few Tarja era songs she did better than Tarja.
Maybe the best song from Nightwish...

I watched a bunch of different videos of this song with Tarja and Annette and then I came back to this.... 😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Try in Bogota Columbia 2018
❤️👍👏
I am a thru floor fan but this is the one song that miss Turunen sings with more ease and live perfection!
Then you're not a true floor fan, troll... That's it...

Floor is so much more versatile.
Tarja Nightwish was way better. She made the band IMO. Nothing after she left excites me anymore.
@@wimpy_the_punk2094 Nah Floor is Nightwish's best singer none of the others even come close.
@@andh2627 +++ 👏👏👏👍
Soy fan de Jasen pero aquí hago una excepción... Con Tarja es está canción, definitivamente

P. s. My English is bad.
Yes, is Stargazers👍
A mi me encanta tarja, hizo su buen trabajo en Nightwish y Floor lo está haciendo muy bien, cada quien en su estilo, nadie es igual.
Hay canciones donde floor hace un trabajo espectacular y logró darle mucho más carácter a las canciones. Pero en esta no me convence, suena muy pop con una letra bastante oscura con música power metal (debió ajustarse más a como los hacía en after forever)
Hearing this song from 3 different live shots I understand why Tuomas don't wanna' play old Nightwish songs. This songs were made for Tarja's vocal. No one else can handle it. Even Floor Jansen.
And he does not play them the same either
Wow, this is one of the greatest songs of nightwish, so many diferent variations and tempos. Floor's voice is just perfect and her stage presence it's just amazing!!!
What do you know about vocal.........
I wish they would play this song without Troy. I don't like his additions on the older works (thinking of this one and Come Cover Me).
More spooky keyboards, less flute! Better yet, no flute.
You're kidding right? He adds a layer of magic to the older songs.
@@thatmetaldude5190 To me he makes the instrumentation convoluted. :-) I understand they're trying to find something for him to do when they play them, but the older songs already had so much going on.
Rose Ramos-Santana Yeah Troy is great but not on this song. Luckily Marco's awesome backups during the chorus save the day!
Marco makes this 100x better live
Lower key....ok...she cant support the high notes like tarja but she is unique by singing the song with her own style..totally different feeling but also good!!
If floor had sung lyrical, there wouldn't be any critics here. Nightwish is over with opera vocals, lets appreciate the new singer's personality.
I dont know mannn.. Tarja broke my virgin ears ever since i know Nightwish.. she put a very stable and high standard to this songs n nightwish itself.. sure anette and floor is good enough but i only got esrgasm when tarja sing those song.. but it just my opinion tho.. dont mocking me 😂
Do you need to say your opinion here, Tarjaholic? While you know the singer here is Floor Jansen?
I love Floor, but man this song belongs to Tarja and no one can perform it like her
100% comrade
Then okay both of you and @@oleadsr8186 can go away from here and follow your mama Tarja and don't come back... Okay?
@@GregSBTheEagle 😂🤣
Each and everyone in this mix sounds really clean! I bet it is not Nightwish production
Dont think it is, no. There is a similar "pro shot" of Bloodstock's "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean", and that is crap compared to the Buenos Aires live version (which is official). The sound here is just... flat more than anything.
Sorry floor,,
Versi anette lebih baik
Hmm, as much as I adore Floor, she doesn’t have the same operatic roll that Tarja had. That being said, she looks like she’s having fun.
It's because she doesn't want to be Tarja wannabe... If she want she can sing using operatic voice, check Floor Jansen - Henk Poort Phantom of The Opera...
Greg The Eagle fair enough. I’m certainly not trying to take anything away from her.

Sorry Floor, but this is Anette's song. (And yes I know Tarja was the original singer)
Actually my favorite version of this song is with Anette, I believe it was Wacken 2008 or 2009
I loved Annette's voice on this song too, she really tries to hit those high notes at the end.
original - better !
Good one but I kinda prefer Anette on this
Sorry, but only Tarja.
ONLI TARA HV DA RAET SENG DEC SONG!

Tarja Anette vayan a laaaar
sale wn shshshsh es horrible la entonacion de las guitarras y esos arreglos del otro wn na qe ver, qe se qede callao mejor
hasta anette le ponia mas pasion a este temaso pero aqui ni ganas dan de seguir escuchando :/

@@chileansaurius2531 tienes toda la razon 👍 solo en esta cancion meh hasta anette la interpretaba mejor y eso es decir mucho xd
Versão péssima
Tarja still the best
Horrible con Tarja esto no pasaba!!!
I just didn't enjoy it.... Flute 'killed" a good part of intro and Floor's expressions isn't good in this song.... Not Good!
Tarja Turunen me gusta mas.
Sounds horrible!
Floor is holding back because she's pregnant
No, she was not... She was pregnant in 2016 to 2017... and gave birth before Decades Tour...
This song just doesn't work for Floor, they should probably retire it tbh
This is the worst thing I have ever heard from Floor and Nightwish.
That's because Floor isn't using her opera voice to sing this. Also depending on where this song is on the setlist, her voice is probably not able to go any higher. Tarja always sang this song last when this song was popular.
I agree
What the fuck is that backpipe shit? It doesn't just fit...
Floor la mejor quieran o no xD
Toooo bored...Anette do this the best
Nightwish murió cuando se fué Tarja. Hasta Emppu suena mal ahora👎🏻
Cosas que arruinan la canción :
La flauta de troy
Marco en el coro
Que la cante 1 tono abajo!
bullshit... the song of 1999 much better...
