It's a standard track on the Wishmaster album, not a bonus or rare track or something like that. It's just one of those "hidden gem" songs which, for some bizarre reason, never got as famous as songs like Wishmaster, so it's harder to come across on RUclips, due to the algorithm most likely. Unless of course, you listen to the entire Wishmaster album and come across it that way, or search for it specifically. I also believe it has never actually been played live by Nightwish, ever. At least, there doesn't seem to be any footage on RUclips and I also don't know of any official lice recordings which feature this song. Whether it's too intense and fast-paced for them to play properly live, I don't know. Ocean Soul has never been played live and may never be, as Tuomas has said in an interview in the past that it is far too personal to him to be played live. They've done Beauty of the Beast live before, footage is easy to find on RUclips. Then again, even though it is more than twice as long as Crownless, it isn't anywhere near this intense for anywhere near the length that Crownless is. Crownless has every single one of the musicians working at maximum capacity for basically its entire duration.
Years, that's how long it's been...more than a decade did I and my brother roam the wastelands of RUclips for this song. I first heard it on Naruto AMV but I could never find its name. Alas the AMV was taken down, never to be found again and it would elude me for years to come, but it's melody clung to my memory like the face of a long lost friend. But today the search is over, today the mystery has been revealed, today God hath shown grace in allowing my friend to finally find this song for me, today I will never forget the name of this song: Crownless.
I know your comment is one year old and probably it doesn't really matter anymore but I still want to reply to it: I agree with you in every point. This is my favourite song of all times. And Nightwish is just my favourite band. I hope they still exist for a long time... Taking away this one my next favourite ones are Nemo, Dark Chest of Wonders and Beauty of the Beast. All in second place. I couldn't say one of them is better than the other. I really can't get enough of this band^^ Have a nice day
I could see that working, though I'm personally getting more of Arthurian Legend vibe; probably because of " The sword in the stone". But I doubt this song is about one certain series or legend, it's more like a mix of several ones.
Lemquennel not to mention fairytales and poets... like there's mention of "The Little Match Girl" in Bare Grace Misery and "Alice In Wonderland" in Storytime and also "The Pit & The Pendulum" in Poet and the Pendulum
Tolkien wrote inspired of nordic stories, most where original from finland. Nightwish used to be gothic fantasy in its lyrics. This is not the first song you have lord of rings reference. "Elvenpath" points Bilbo baggins name, for example.
A battle of the bands between Nightwish and Within Temptation would be freaking amazing! Two amazing symphonic metal bands going head-to-head... *Faints from epicness overload*
Everytime I hear this.... I always think about how sick jukka is on drums. lol
The drums AND guitar are freakin' sweet!
Oh hell yeah!
Hell yea!
Nearly 18 years of listening to these and how have I only just found this song?!

I agree, awesome comment! :)
What a beautiful comment
This really reminds me of Tolkien, honestly..."The crownless again shall be king"....anyone else feel it?

It's remind me about King Arthur becase of "Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone. Mine is the throne for the idol."

@@BloomingSnow whichnis funny because this fit saber from fate series to a t😂
Todo el album es una joyita 😭😭 extraño ese nightwish
Man. How can anyone dislike this? Love this shit.
funny that “THE” only song tarja hated is most of the fanbases favorite this song is heaven
I think it's kinda hard to sing such fast song with an opera voice, maybe that's why she didn't like it
It’s forces her to get out of that chronically low gear she wants to be stuck in. No plodding round vowel self-indulgence here.
Where did you read that she hates this song?
Did she ever actually say she hates this song or are you just assuming?
The drums are sick in this one¡¡
Hmm.. I Think This is Emppu's crazy guitar show.
He's doesn't play like this anymore which is sad. I heard him say during the making of EFMB that he doesn't feel the need to ''show off'' anymore
Lovely, Emppu kicking ass on the guitar!
All night wish music = epic boss battle music
Quick and fantastic rhythm and wonderfully beautiful singing-masterpiece!
Favorite song by Nightwish
Wish this is so awesome! If only I could play guitar like this
@isamoraish "sword from the stone" it clearly refers to king Arthur and/or Excaliburg thats my guess....
Lol pretty much you're right
3 people are crownless
+Yagami Wolf 5 now*
*Whistles*
Yagami Wolf 7 now!
23 now
aun no entiendo del por qué nunca la han tocado en vivo!!!
Tarja ❤️ forever
Emppu is awesome with his guitar (in here too).
EXCELENT SONG
2018 abril 7
what an epicness!!
I love Nightwish! 🖤
Moja je zemlja sva i mac iz kamena
moje je mesto, vasih idola presto
Super buena me encanta cantarlas
2:12 Epic :D
A battle of the bands between Nightwish and Within Temptation would be freaking amazing!
Two amazing symphonic metal bands going head-to-head...
*Faints from epicness overload*
I think all of the Nightwish and Within Temptation fans hearts would burst from the epicness. . . I know mine would.
Evensence within temptation and nightwish unlimited power!!!!!!!!!!
for people whomst likes this song, try fantasmic and 10th man down also
As a fan of the Fate series I can't help but think this would be an excellent song to blast when facing Morgan in Lostbelt 6 in FGO.
This song makes me think of saber🤣🤣🤣
pure epicness
+ado65514452 epic pureness :D
+George Pap yeahh, xD
kinda reminds me of A Song of Ice and Fire
love this song!
Imaju sećanje jer ga kradu i piju,kao i snove, ali ne znam kako im je s njima...
I cant tell if this song is talking about king arthur or mordred🤔
Stefan znao, dajte mu maslačak sa jednom laticom, to mu je brokbek mountai, jer čovek zna znanje. A evo i krvavica ❤️
@TeShiLove I think so...
@Ixadkin You like Within Temptation, too?
"one fleeting moment and is Satan... " 1:24 hahaha
1:37
TARJA was TRULY the VERY BEST!!!😀👍
(y)
i think Tuomas diddnt wrot this song
Nosite muštikle umesto štikle.
nije. vreme je zagonetka iskustvo je confesija
The only things I'm good at is drawing and singing
nekrunisani
Its better if slower
There were 4 kings, but the dark lord smithed its satanic ring
golum. unakazeni pomazanik gospodar prstenova
ha 7 personas prefieren lady gaga con metalica (dislike) XD
no one cares
None king, queen and jesus deserve crown.
Lyrics ARE Too SLOW
