This song, in my opinion, shows why Tarja is unique, it is not about range or high soprano vocals, there will always be someone who will have a better range but about her timbre and her emotional way of singing. Here you can see how Tarja pours emotion into these words like a fountain. Nw's swansong flawlessly carried by the Siren.
i totally agree with you. tarja sings with passion and so much emotion, it's like every word she sing came directly from her heart, like the lyrics were spoken by her soul. she feels every word she sings..
I can feel that Tuomas put his soul in lyrics and music and that Tarja put her emotions in singing it.. I'm putting every part of myself in listening to it. Magical song, love it!
I really can't understand how people can not like them!! I mean... The CD versions are so perfect, but in live they're even better!! This song is sssoooooo beautiful
an amazing voice.combined with the magic of the rest of the group.what you get?pure magic flowing in the air.imagine being in such a concert.the band decided to change.not only singer but sound as well.its obvious.the voices cant be compared.so you either like the NEW sound of the band or you dont. thats it.but lets all be thankful for the amazing songs they wrote in the past and hope for great songs in the future.
THIS IS SO AMAZING NIGHTWISH COULD NEVER TURN BCK TIME TO REBORN THIS! NIGHTWISH... WAS SO AMAZING AND NOW... IT'S SO SAD... and Amigos mios... This is beutifulest concert ever!
This woman commanded the stage like a goddess. I could care less about the who's better and whose worse arguments... this woman put emotion, power, and soul into every single word ever written by this band. Long live the old Nightwish. (I got nothing against the new, it's still good...) but this woman, she was their angel. Hearing her sing any of these really touching pieces brings tears to my eyes.
I feel so lucky that I grew up with Nightwish, and that I saw them live during their golden era. I've stopped listening to their new stuff ever since Tarja left. Funnily enough, her voice in Once was not as mind-blowingly beautiful as their earlier albums. So maybe it was her time to leave, who knows... nothing as heart warming and pure as this is supposed to last forever. That's what makes it what it is.
Oh, I remember the pure joy and bliss I felt when, last year, at the 2 NW concerts I went to, they played Dead Boy's Poem. And I remember what an awesome job Anette did singing/interpreting this song! It was so beautiful! I love this song ♥ - hope they play it again on the next tour!
"Everyone has his own opinion and mine is that Nightwish still is the best band in the world. Forever!" Amigo, I couldn't agree more!!! They've always been the best and always will be, also Tarja is the best.
she is amazing... idk why many ppl dont like her. i know she doesnt have the voice like tarja has but its a new and beautiful voice. i think she is a great addition
Does this song make anyone else cry? God i miss Tarja with Nightwish, but im very great full that she (in my opinion) has a great solo, and i had the honor of seeing her live in NY in April.... =( such a sad song!
My favorite song from the wishmaster album. I think Annette is amazing. She has a great voice and she fits well with the band. Tarja is also amazing. Love her voice
I think you are one of the only people, who watch this video and deffinatly LIKE Anette xD I just read comments offending her.... and delet them, because I love her too
@PalemoonSun And as for the side projects of Tarja, I understood Tuomas the way that it was only 2005 when, according to him, the whole band agreed on not having side projects, and that Tarja, in his eyes, was the only one who did not stick to that agreement. (Please note I am not voicing my opinion here.) Although, as far as Tarja describes the "communication" in the band (that is, the lack thereof), maybe that agreement was never communicated to her sufficiently, I could imagine.
I don't hate you, you just say what you think, that's ok^^ I don't like people who affront Anette and say bad things about her. They don't know her personally, so they cannot say that they "hate" her. Everyone has his own opinion and mine is that Nightwish still is the best band in the world. Forever!
@PalemoonSun Well, they didn't work like that with Tarja, either. And we were on about whether that is delaying the album, which it isn't. As for Tarot, I personally give you that point, since I don't know that schedule but believe you that it was still in 2005, but I guess the band saw it the way that it was after the end of the Nightwish tour anyway, so not in conflict with that.
I met Tuomas and Jukka a few weeks before it happened, and I could see it coming. They seemed torn and very troubled by it, but it seemed nothing I said would make them think otherwise. (Tuomas was in a bad shape, too...)
@PalemoonSun Interview with Tuomas in 2009. He said they were going to take some time off after the monster tour, until 2010, would start rehearsing in 2010 and start recording only in 2011. That was before Anette was pregnant. Should I post links of that?
Diese Stimme ist unglaublich und unvergesslich ;-) ich bekomme wirklich nur bei ihrer Stimme Gänsehaut ..leider nicht bei Anette....hätte ich mir gewünscht
first listen, THEN criticize I know how you all feel. I didn't like Anette too. When I saw her in concert everything changed! It's just fair when you give Anette the chance too prove that she IS fantastic in her own way. PLEASE, even if you disagree: STOP SAYING THAT ANETTE IS THAT BAD! The point is, that some of you are prejudiced against her! this is childish. Most of Anette haters think that Nightwish isn't Nightwish, but Tarja! False!! Nightwish is Nightwish and Anette is part of it Amen
@VanillaPink13 yes...anette does it indeed quite good! But seriously, we cannot compare her to Tarja, she does it truly incredible, the beauty..cant describe it :O Her voice is so much better now! this was from 10 years ago, her voice is much stronger now. Anette has also grown.
@PalemoonSun Keep in mind that Tarja stated that she wouldn't remain with Nightwish past the next album (would have been DPP). The guys wanted to end it on their own terms perhaps? There are lots of stories about why she was fired; it's really a he said/she said situation. Unless you're in the band, it's hard to come to a definite conclusion about what really went down. Speculation is fine, but remember that no one knows all the facts & each perspective will put a bias spin on the story.
I love this song, its so so good!, whenever i tried to play it on my guitar, I just couldnt play along, and got stuck listening... ah well, now my chords aren't very well at this song, but I can play the solo, one of emppu's best guitar solo's ever!
@miss1metalhead though I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Tarja, I gotta say that Anette did NOT change the band, it's not like she entered by force... the band wanted a new singer and they CHOSE her... I can't say I LOVE the "new" NW cuz I'd be lying buuuuuuuut I also respect their choice, and Toumas is a genius so I believe NW will be great and amazing no matter which vocals they may have ^-^
@PalemoonSun It's not Anette who delayed them, the schedule was already in place before she got pregnant. And also, since you are supporting Tarja so much, you should know that the oh-so-famous letter is misunderstandable in that point, Nightwish didn't miss that concert because of Tarja.
@PalemoonSun RUclips won't let me post links, I'll send you a PM instead. This is only the English translation of a Finnish interview though, assuming you probably don't speak Finnish. It is from Sept. 2009 and he talks about July, so clearly July 2010. If Anette was already pregnant at that point, she wouldn't know that herself. As for the letter, I don't think that crap needs to be reposted. It is easily available and too many people believe it too easily.
Text of this song is amazing!!!!!when I read it I cryed...How Tuomas do it?This is his secret:) Tarja was amazing too.Anette sing good but I still miss for Tarja voice but it's not foult Anette that Tarja was fired:(I accepted Anette.But I never forget Tarja.
@PalemoonSun That's a good question, isn't it?...:p But if you think about it, maybe it's not too hard to figure it out. That was never the reason Tuomas (and Tuomas alone!!! He always made clear that it is HIS band!) fired Tarja... ;) Anyway, Nightwish was the one who lost...
I agree with you. I miss tarja so much, i love her, i don`t like anette`s singing. I mean, how she sings old nw songs. but let`s give her a chance to show us what she can do in the future. this song is so beautiful...amazing
I really love this song. Tarja has an amazing voice, but Anette is also cool. Both girls had there influence on the band, but there so different from eachother. But I still like Nightwish, Anette asn't changed that and she never will.
@sheila06061975 Excuse me but the SOUL of NW IS Tuomas, the maestro. Tarja was a guest musician, as she said to Tuomas, that could leave the band whenever. She betrayed the fans by leaving. PS: She was leaving after Once anyways. She wanted it that way.
@PalemoonSun We know what he he claimed as facts and details from the open letter, just as on Tarja's site you find Marcelo's facts/details to counter the open letter. I guess I should phrase it differently to "slightly different versions of the same story"? And please, don't get me wrong, as I said in an earlier post, I dont agree with all that was written in the letter. Indeed, she performed 4 shows in the US since she began her solo career.
@PalemoonSun Because they weren't having to postpone or cancel entire tours to accomodate Tarot's schedule....don't get me wrong, I love Tarja but there are some things she did (or her management, I don't know) that make me sympathize with the guys in the band. That being said, I think there were mistakes made on both sides, to this day I don't agree with how Tuomas handled the whole firing thing (the open letter, the way it was written, etc.).
@AuroraBorealis1990 agree! I heard her either and although I would have prefered Tarja singing this song, it was a nice surprise that it sounded quite good with Anette too^^ She has a totally different style, but her vocie is refreshing!
@VanillaPink13 Saying that a certain singer can't sing certains songs it's not ofending, it's just stating a fact, and the fact is Anette can't sing any of the old songs, period.
@12xjc Silly, it's kind of like saying GnR isn't GnR without Slash (I know I said it, all of you fuck up.) Tarja is basically trademark for Nightwish and gave the band a unique sound. Anette, although in my opinion, good just makes NW not sound like NW.
Nightwish was never meant to be a Symphonic band, then, since the first album they changed their style... And once you're making music from you heart and not for money... You're no Comercial, no matter what kind of vocalist you have!
This song, in my opinion, shows why Tarja is unique, it is not about range or high soprano vocals, there will always be someone who will have a better range but about her timbre and her emotional way of singing. Here you can see how Tarja pours emotion into these words like a fountain. Nw's swansong flawlessly carried by the Siren.

Beautiful...
Tarja is the best! Anette is nothing for her...
Tarja come back to Nightwish!!!
We love you!!!
One of the most emotional and grand song and performance by NW ever.
I really can't understand how people can not like them!! I mean... The CD versions are so perfect, but in live they're even better!!
This song is sssoooooo beautiful
an amazing voice.combined with the magic of the rest of the group.what you get?pure magic flowing in the air.imagine being in such a concert.the band decided to change.not only singer but sound as well.its obvious.the voices cant be compared.so you either like the NEW sound of the band or you dont. thats it.but lets all be thankful for the amazing songs they wrote in the past and hope for great songs in the future.
one of the greatest songs ..... I love it . Tarja was the voice and the soul of Nightwish - anette can never replace her
THIS IS SO AMAZING NIGHTWISH COULD NEVER TURN BCK TIME TO REBORN THIS! NIGHTWISH... WAS SO AMAZING AND NOW... IT'S SO SAD... and Amigos mios... This is beutifulest concert ever!
This woman commanded the stage like a goddess.

The best ballad they´ve ever made.
Speaks out of my soul.
Love it!
"Everyone has his own opinion and mine is that Nightwish still is the best band in the world. Forever!"
Amigo, I couldn't agree more!!! They've always been the best and always will be, also Tarja is the best.
I think they're both great too. Very talented woman.
Love it, cry on it, put it in your heart all these emotion has began in my mind when she had sung first word.
I have the End of an Era DVD, and I must say that this band is absolutely AWESOME when they play live. :D
Eu adoro a Tarja - linda, talentosa enfim, soube levar o peso do Nightwish com elegância, perfeição e claro, o toque especial da Tarja :)
Oh my gosh....I LOVE THIS!!! Not only dies she sound perfect, but she is also BEAUTIFUL! :) I LOVE her look here :) 3
she is amazing... idk why many ppl dont like her. i know she doesnt have the voice like tarja has but its a new and beautiful voice. i think she is a great addition
Essa é a música! para mim a melhor do Nightwish... poesia e lirismo em junção perfeita com a voz da Tarja!
This song saved my life.
Does this song make anyone else cry? God i miss Tarja with Nightwish, but im very great full that she (in my opinion) has a great solo, and i had the honor of seeing her live in NY in April.... =( such a sad song!
Just perfect
hair raising performance, tarja sings with so much passion,emotion and power, it makes me cry..
TARJA WE MISS YOU IN NIGHTWISH
So much to live for, so much to die for...
If only my heart had a home
this is a bloody sad song
love u tarja
best song ever...
esta cancion es algo sublime, ¿que se sentira despues de componer una preciosidad asi?
Totally agree! I hate people who say that Nightwish without Tarja isn't Nightwish. Í love both, old and new one ^^
Anette should not have killed this beautiful song
I'm so Crying again after seen this vid! for the 1001 times!! I Love It!! Tarja Ruled My Heart! n__n!!
I love this song SO much! I had a sudden urge to find this vid online, thanks!
My favorite song from the wishmaster album. I think Annette is amazing. She has a great voice and she fits well with the band. Tarja is also amazing. Love her voice
Örülök :D:D
Tök jó érzéssel tölt el, hogy nem csak én utálom Anette-ét!
I think you are one of the only people, who watch this video and deffinatly LIKE Anette xD I just read comments offending her.... and delet them, because I love her too
sensacional
I wish this to be played at my funeral!
Divine!

she is like an angel.
Awesome!!

@Guilherme7530 nothing lasts forever but somehow the knowledge this era is finished makes the tarja parts even sweeter don't you think :)

this song is so beautiful...amazing
I was there o/
From 5:00 onwards is just pure heaven.
i like this one over the original Tarja's voice so is perfect
I really love this song.
Tarja has an amazing voice, but Anette is also cool.
Both girls had there influence on the band, but there so different from eachother. But I still like Nightwish, Anette asn't changed that and she never will.

Anette rock's, how many bands have a pop vocalist? But, a symphonic one every band does!
@PalemoonSun We know what he he claimed as facts and details from the open letter, just as on Tarja's site you find Marcelo's facts/details to counter the open letter.

this is beyond perfection,Tarja u fucking rule \m/

Yes
@SoloDomoProductions Totally agree!
you're totally right, my dear ;-)
gern geschehen ^^
yeah i hope the video has some delay :S becouse the sound is live version
agree
Well I was reffering to the part where she sings in a realy high pitch. Which is amazing.
For those that say "it's been 8 years, GET OVER IT" I say NEVER...and this is video is my case and point of why.
2020 and still missing the magic
@12xjc Cause on metal stage she is the best from all female singers.
Is this just me, or doesn't the pic fit the sound? The sound comes before the pic.. ):
@andjelapudar Bring the girl back home again!!!
@VanillaPink13 GO YOU!!! I agree;=)
Agree
It's simple a melody line from chorus with some effects... i dont think i could call it 'solo'
6:00 onwards... wow.
@VanillaPink13 Saying that a certain singer can't sing certains songs it's not ofending, it's just stating a fact, and the fact is Anette can't sing any of the old songs, period.
Tarja would make an awesome model, dontcha think? :D
His name's Sam Hardwick. I think there was a contes or something...
What the hell is that tube thing with the yellow stuff in it next to the drum set?
Please translate ^^
@AuroraBorealis1990 Sorry, but a lot of Us don't want to read --her name-- while listening the beautiful Tarja
@12xjc Silly, it's kind of like saying GnR isn't GnR without Slash (I know I said it, all of you fuck up.) Tarja is basically trademark for Nightwish and gave the band a unique sound. Anette, although in my opinion, good just makes NW not sound like NW.
Tarja forever
when i grow up, i want to be tarja
Nightwish was never meant to be a Symphonic band, then, since the first album they changed their style... And once you're making music from you heart and not for money... You're no Comercial, no matter what kind of vocalist you have!
