he was also a soldier when he wrote this (poetry was his outlet during his time in the military). just picture him in his bunk/cot writing this, missing Tarja like crazy. Which totally explains the meaning shift in the remake.
Both versions were with out a doubt, and still are very good. Just this one is kind of a natural, for those who listen to music with hearts and souls, and the new version is done nearly perfect, but it does not have those emotions any more due to which it was stunningly inimitable.
Used to hate this version because the sound seemed too chaotic and unpolished and unfocused, but now I like it as much as the remake just for its... freedom? I don't know what to call it, but this has grown on me.
I actually like this version better because I keeps that old nigtwish sound that they lost awhile ago a bit.Tuomas' voice in this song makes my soul bleed and cry.I have been having this song in my head ever since I met the love of my life,I have carried this song with me for years,lying in wait til the day that we could possibly become one,and all of that waiting payeds off because now I ams with him...forever bonded in eternity...
Hace doce años aue escucho y me encanta Nightwish.. y recién ahora después de mil años de haber escuchado y cantado este tema, me entero que esa voz es de Tuomas!!! Jajaj. Que belleza. Siempre me encantó cómo expresa su parte en esta canción.
I've always found interesting the way the lyrics changed between the original and the remake version of the song: here hints are given that star-crossed lovers might one day in some universe reunite, whilst in the following version it's stated pretty clearly that he will always remain alone in her love for her, who on the other hand will move on. It almost sounds like Tuomas became more pessimistic about love ... (then again, my interpretation may in fact be wrong)
look further into his songs... you'll realize what really happened between him and Tarja. He hints that he had a crush on her in quite a few of his pieces. This song kinda puts it all together when you think about it. Especially his distaste with the "Angels Fall First" album.
It is a bittersweet love history, a strong and deep feeling that moved a person to wrote beautiful lyrics and music that helped a Lot of people to express their love couldnt never express himself clearly and started to consume him, breaking the bond he had with the love of his life for The bitterness for his frustranted love
To anyone who compares the 2 versions and complains that there is something missing in either or both: try listening to both instrumentals side-by-side
I have to ask the dumb question, -which- version is this, the 1997 or 2001 version? I can rarely find this one and I can almost instantly tell it apart by it 'going harder' and the string instrument mixing in with the finale. Please excuse my ignorance and help a cow out?
@@MaronStyle yes remastered 2001 with Tony Kako voice from sonata Arctica and change some lyrics in the song. I love both versions because except different voices had the song different meanings.
Man, love the whole song minus the dude singing.. sounds almost off key among the rest of the beauty of the song. I can't help but laugh. It's almost ruined by it.
2024 and I'm still listening to this beautiful song 🎵🔥
Whenever I hear Tuomas' part I can just imagine him as a dorky twenty-something year old singing. It's adorable.
he was also a soldier when he wrote this (poetry was his outlet during his time in the military). just picture him in his bunk/cot writing this, missing Tarja like crazy. Which totally explains the meaning shift in the remake.
Tuomas' is such an unbelievable songwriter.. kind of a shame he can never sing his own songs because damn haha
I fucking love all the angel fall first album, all of them are just amazing and wonderfull.
Baby Tarja's voice always make me smile lol.
20 y.o.
It is a wonder how these guys were able to make something as grand as this being still almost "children".

poor Tuomas XD It's sooo cute when he sings XD
Used to hate this version because the sound seemed too chaotic and unpolished and unfocused, but now I like it as much as the remake just for its... freedom? I don't know what to call it, but this has grown on me.
Last I checked, this version is the only one available on Itunes. Pisses me off! (but the harpsichord grew on me)
If only they kept the harpischord in the remake..but that and the lyrics are why this one is my favorite!

If Tuomas could sing, he would be too powerful
Tuomas said he wouldn't sing again... but I think his voice adds something fresh to the songs he's sung ♥

Mil veces mejor que la otra versión 🖤🖤🖤
I love this song no dissing Tomas voice it is awesome
there is something about this version.... was listening to remastered and said " no way dude" need me some of that ORIGINAL

I firmly believe Tuomas was in unrequited love with Tarja.
@@Kradfire45 That's pretty sad if true...

Instrumentals are probably the best part.
To anyone who compares the 2 versions and complains that there is something missing in either or both: try listening to both instrumentals side-by-side
the guitar here sounds so Dream Theater-y. I really like it.
For some strange reason, I actually like Tuomas´ voice in this album.
lol maybe I´m the only one.
Nah, me too🥰
The riff from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb!
Pavithran M yep it is! :)) but that one's in Bm, and this one's in Em
It is Sorrow :)
Loving that harpiscord. Too bad they removed it from the remake :/
Me enloquece la voz de Tuomas en ésta canción tan bellísima
You rock for posting soooo many Nightwish lyric videos!
bingo te encontre!!! lo mejor nigthwish--tarja!!
Original is the best
Rate? Awesome! Lady Tarja, Nightwish, you for uploding- Hail Metal!
Damn, Tuomas' vocals are really flat, as much as I love him, I can see why he said he'll never sing on an album again.
Chris Lagann they're kinda meh on their own, but compared to Tarja's, Tuomas stands no chance.
Que recuerdos!
@constantine131 no the remake version is tony of the sonata artica.
This song reminds me somehow of early (1994) Cradle of Filth kind of music.

The one and only original versión
This is good song ;)
@patapuffete for me doesnt matter who is singing in remake either marco or tony both sing very nice
I like more this version
It's not Marco, it's Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica. (In the remake version)
In my opinion Tuomas is the best singer in Nightwish
Heeeyy this vid was published on Tuomas's bday!!!🎉🎉
Better than the remake but that's probably because I heard this version first.
well, You should listen to Beauty and The Beast then :)
Yup the remake has Tony of Sonata Arctica.
Me gustan las dos verciones comenta cual te gusta mas
♥ 2K18 ♥
Mircalla Murray Because is Tuomas singing XD.
Felipe Barreto Oh! I don't know where I read that this song was sung by Tony. Thnx
Ligeia Murray Ok in the remake xDDD just forget it XDDD
@@MaronStyle yes remastered 2001 with Tony Kako voice from sonata Arctica and change some lyrics in the song. I love both versions because except different voices had the song different meanings.
Part 2:54 sounds like a megaman x soundtrack
Original, fuck yeah
Tony and Tarja? Fuck yea!
This is Tuomas tho.
Not bro. Tuomas and Tarja. The best fucking thing you can heard.
The historys repeating?
2:03😍😎💕🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
con razon despues invitaron a tony kakko para el remake ....terrible contraste jaajajaj
Ellos nos han traisado. Take care of yourself.

Cody Bragg

I was gonna like this vid but then I noticed it already has 666 likes
Yeah, too cute *_* :Q__ ehehehe! :P
Indonesia
jelenko evolves to Ratni Greimon
it doesn't sound like tony kakko, sounds more like tuomas..XD
Ligeia Murray It is Tuomas
@TutuNadeshiko1015 check the remake version
The intro reminds me of the Angel and Buffy theme songs
with marco !?! remake is made by Tony Kakko
shanji92 it's tuomas
well tuomas is not that big singer ...
hahhahahahah tuomas tuomas
@minimoongurll its tuomas check the remake version sounds better with marco
Tuomas's **_voice_** sounds OK... his **_singing_** needs work though. Shame; he could've actually been alright.
Prefer Tony Kakko's version
Omg Thumas sings worst than me
Yes, but I still love it, because it's Tuomas. :D
The Over The Hills version is far better. Best decision Toumas ever made is realizing he can’t sing and handing off male vocal duties to others
Man, love the whole song minus the dude singing.. sounds almost off key among the rest of the beauty of the song. I can't help but laugh. It's almost ruined by it.
Who is the male singing in the song..? He sounds awful ..
Tuomas Holopainen
judas priest the sentinel intro
