NIGHTWISH - Amaranth (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) 

Some people like Anette, some might prefer Tarja or Floor. But deep inside we all know Marco was the true queen of nightwish

This video is inspired by the painting "The Wounded Angel", by the Finnish painter Hugo Simberg, 1903.

Tarja was the reason we all like Nightwish. Floor is the reason they gained new popularity. But this particular song with Anette will always be my absolute favorite. It's contemporary, it's short & sweet yet heavy and hella melodic. She owns on this song.

I think this is Anette's best song on this disk. People were so mean to her. Thanks for all your time in the group, Anette. And this comes from a huge Tarja and Floor fan.

Now Amaranthe should make a song called Nightwish.

This chorus is f'n addictive. I can't stop listening to it. Don't want to stop listening to it. What a great hook

Even tough I am a Tarja fan, this is my favorite song from Nightwish. The melody goes straight to my soul. This song is Anette's.

Finally, after 10 years, found this song, and all it took was "angel on stretchers" search

I swear the drummer looks like he's riding off into an epic battle in every video lol.

The video was inspired by Hugo Simberg's painting "The Wounded Angel," which is Finland's national painting.

This is the first song i heard form Nightwish when I was around 12, maybe 13 years old. Now I'm 30 years old and I'm coming back here every year to remember all those good times . Such nice memories

One of the best choruses of all time, chills even now!

"Amaranth" Baptized with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone You believe but what you see? You receive but what you give? Caress the one, the never-fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare You believe but what you see? You receive but what you give? Caress the one, the never-fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak [x2] Reaching, searching for something untouched Hearing voices of the never-fading calling Calling [x2] Caress the one, the never-fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak [x2] Daybreak!

This is the kind of song I can listen to repeatedly and never get tired of it

Wow, 13 years ago? Feels like just yesterday...

My first nightwish experience was this song. They are an amazing band. Oddly they don’t seem to have much American following but I don’t know why.

Nightwish best Band in the world. Before, Now, Always.

Who's having a Nightwish marathon?

I love Amaranth, this song is Anette's song like Nemo is Tarja's song. Elan definitely is Floor's song. Tuomas has a brilliant mind. Three catchy songs for each one,in video clip. I love NW ❤️.

One thing I love about Anette Olzon's vocals in this song is the alliteration and pronunciation of words, especially that, "Caress the one", and the hoppiness of "the hiding amaranth, in-a-land of the daybreak." It's just SO fun to sing.

I can see why Nightwish fans don't like Anette's voice, she doesn't use that "opera" tone like Tarja or Floor then everyone talks shit to Anette saying she is a crap singer, but no, having a different style doesn't mean she sucks. In fact I personally prefer her clean voice style

I like Annette’s voice. I like all three singers that nightwish has had.

This has been my ringtone for the last 10 years.

Its 2021, and still listening to this beautiful song. 👇

EVERYONE SING WITH ME!!! Carrots that wander, never fading, raining. You're hard! And Jesus' snow white Zorro! Carrots that wander, hiding m&ms in a lamb, after they break... THEY BREAK!!!!

2020 someone????plz tell me I'm not the only one not forgetting them!!😭

I like her voice. It's just perfect for this song. Tuomas is really a genius in writing songs for each singers' voice.

I love Anette's tenure with the band..Her vocal melodies and phrasing are absolutely excellent.

Tekst piosenki: Baptised with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Reaching, searching for something untouched Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak

This is a prime example that nobody owns this song like Annette did. Everyone is arguing over who is the better singer, but all three vocalists have their own captivating qualities that make their respective eras special in their own way. Tarja for opera, Annette for pop/folk, and Floor does a little bit of everything with finesse. Still, Annette's voice had a way of cutting through the mix and she did a great job with voice inflections and accents.

I honestly think that Annete was the perfect bridge between Tarja and Floor. Great delivery!

Nightwish and Hugo Simberg. What a magnificent Finnish Combination. Hugo Simberg is considered by many as the greatest Finnish painter, and the painting "The Wounded Angel" which this Nightwish clip is based upon, is presented in the Finnish National Gallery - The Ateneum, in Helsinki's City center. You should all come and visit Finland, great coubtry, great people. Suomi - Nightwish - Simberg 🇫🇮🎸💙🖌🙏

It's fascinating that each singers have their own songs that only each of them can perform brilliantly

So many fans bashing Annette for not being Tarja or Floor, but this sing as well as Bye Bye Beautiful are proof this girl can be awesome with the right song. Not all song are for everyone, lets see Tarja singing Amaranth...

Who listen that still is a LEGEND

She had the perfect voice for this. You don't have to love her versions of other songs, but her pop-like tones fit this song perfectly.

She is so into her music, and sings with such passion. That is so beautiful.

I sure miss Jukka Nevalainen on drums!!! He was one of the reasons I enjoyed Nightwish so much over the years!

Even though everyone says bad stuff about Anette I think is probably my favourite nightwish song!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! WHEN I WAS 6 I WAS REALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS AMAZING SONG SO NOW I AM 17 AND I AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD BECAUSE I’VE FOUNED THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUSSIA LOVES YOU !!❤️

The contrast between her voice and the instruments is what makes this song so great. Swift and high glowing vocals with precision contrasted by high gain, low, bassy instruments relentlessly marching on framing her voice is what makes this song imo. God I love contrast.

This was the first song from Nightwish I'd ever heard, it's been 12 years since then and they're now one of my favorite musical acts of all time, and I still regret not having heard of them sooner, during the Tarja years, but I think it was a blessing in disguise, as Annette Olson being the first vocalist I'd heard of theirs made her much easier for me to accept than had I gone from Tarja to Annette. I agree with the general concensus that Annette was their weakest vocalist, but I think she's pretty damned great, too, and Escapist is still my all-time favorite Nightwish song, and it's a song neither Floor, or Tarja could pull off as well as Annette did.

my dad's a biig metalhead, he used to play this all the time and its now a core memory for us siblibgs

I love 3 vocalist but No one can sing amaranth better than annete. they have their own style

lol. why do I find good music so much later than it was made

The one and only Nightwish song truly "owned" by a singer other than Tarja ☺ You rock Anette Olzon. This is YOUR song! 😎

Still hype to this song in 2021. I remember listen to that, when i was younger, in the German music channel VIVA.

i’m so glad my parents listened to Nightwish when i was younger, and now, years later i found them again and i’m in love

7 years ago this song came out, can't believe it's gone that fast

The juxtaposition of her vocals to the heavy metal is so striking. It makes for a very pleasant listening experience.

It's 2021 and this clip still makes me want to cry and scream ... It might just be fiction but there is some truth to it. Since the rise of time, humans have always been so closed-minded that they are afraid of anything that is different from them. So either they reject it, or they exploit it, or they destroy it. Even if it is the most beautiful of creatures. And that makes me mad with anger!!! I hate the human race!

Amaranth is a type of perennial plant for those who keep asking. I don't want to tell anyone how to interpret music, that is always a personal exploration but I think one way to look at this song's meaning is that you should try to find the thing or person that brings you joy in life and to always hold onto it even through the tears of sorrow that life brings. This video is based on a painting called 'The Wounded Angel' by finnish painter Hugo Simberg which was voted as Finland's national painting at the Ateneum art museum in 2006. The beauty of the amaranth could also be symbolic of romance or resurrection such as the greek legend of Amaranthus, a hunter who was killed by a tidal wave caused by Poseidon; Artemis, goddess of the hunt, revived him in the form of an amaranth flower.

My aunt first showed me this song when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I am so glad I found it once again after searching desperately for 10 years!

Don't think I've ever seen someone so passionately play a keyboard. The drummer is fire for real. They all rock!!

Annette’s era is my favourite era - even though this is an unpopular opinion so I’m told. Such a shame it didn’t work out.

I don't understand the discussions about who is the best nightwish singer. In my opinion all did a great job. Because of the changes nightwish is always interesting to hear, because every singer created an own style. So great work Marco, anette, tarja, floor and co👍

I keep forgetting they replaced thier original singer, so every few years when i look up nightwish it throws me. I miss Tarja

This is Nightwish's best rock song. Everything is right about this number, no person can say that it is not.👏🏻🇳🇱🇳🇱

After 13 years , I still have no idea what Amaranth means . otherwise fucking epic song ,never gets old .

You can't imaging how much i listened to this song while leveling in WoW.

Its an disrespect to the fans that the most beautiful Nightwish videos are in such shit qualiuty! We need Nightwish VEVO!!!!!

I'm here due to resignation of Marko Hietala.. Anyone? 😞😞😞

This song is beautiful and her voice is Heavenly, I'm glad I came across it! I wish there was more music like this. The Melody the keyboard, THE CHORUS IT'S A PERFECT SONG!

This moment when you go fishing and you find angel....

Sometimes I think I'm the only one that actually loves Annette.

its grazy how this used to be my favourite song when i was 5-6 yr old, now i can understand what their actually singing and its giving such nostalgia

I always loved what she brought to nightwish! Woman has some lungs!

unpopular opinion:I think this is their best single song.

this chorus is so captivating :) Her voice is cute enough to make it soft but epic at the same time!

The part when when the angel awakes and the hand closes catching one of his tears always breaks me for some reason. Great video, and their greatest “single” song. Catchy, full of melody and emotion. Nightwish forever, till the end of time.

I miss Tarja, but Anette has her own style and I cannot deny it

I almost turned the captions off until I realized this was finally my chance after 12 years to finally figure wtf she was saying in the chorus 😂🖤

I have been sleeping on Nightwish. Gods forgive me I did not know. One of the Catchiest songs ever.

Anette ruled Nightwish era from 2007-2012. She is great in her own style.

God bless, Anette! My two favorite records from Nightwish is with her. Steve Harris defined so well the band after she get in.

There's always something quite fantastic about a keyboard player headbanging.

Shut up with your carrots and love Anette.

She may not fit the style of Nightwish but I think we can all admit she did this song justice.

One of my all-time favourite songs by Nightwish! Poetic, melodic, heavy, and relentless and uplifting in the chorus! A true masterpiece by them, as far as I'm concerned. I will always love it, no matter how many years may grate away at me. I wish I had the privilege of witnessing this played live so that I could truly rock away to it with them.

2:01 The Jesus Snow White Sauron?! WTF?!

this song is amaziiiing, Anette is amazinnggg. As a number 1 fan of Tarja, I have to admit that Anette is graceful too, her voice is catching

Finally after 12 years i found this😍😍

I´ve been looking for this song for years. Like seriously, how hard can it be to find a song. Ever since I saw this music video on an old Swedish show in like 2008, I have had the picture of them carrying that angel and just couldn´t remember the name of the song or artist. Today, it has been all I have been thinking of and I just had enough and decided to check on google. Seriously; MV carrying a fallen angel, then scrolling through all Eurovision TIX videos and BOOM there it is!

Damn, if Nightwish didn't deleted all of their old videos, they would all probably have millions of views

This song shows that when given a song to sing within her vocal range she could sing as the best. Very unfair to give her songs beyond her vocal range.

Iv got to say it felt like a real band back then. I absolutely loved this line up. Fantastic

Dark passion play is a great cd, each singer in Nightwish marks a new place in time for the band. I do LOVE how the guys Empuu and Marco (and the other guys like Thomas) seem to remain a "constant" in Nightwish. BUT over time we have seen a new band member or 2, like the flute player, and a new drummer.

Nightwish is a unique power metal band. The 99 million views indicates that the power is not just in the genre name, but the song must keep playing in order for Finland’s electric and power supply to maintain. They are rhe key to solving the energy crisis. What is their secret? Why is Finland hiding the truth from us? Keep asking questions, investigate nightwish.

One of my older friends used to be a music journalist, he got to interview Anette in this era of Nightwish, hell of a guy.

This is my favorite version of Amaranthe. Love live Nightwish over most studio videos, but Anette sounds phenominal here! Song is so, so catchy, further solidifies my new love of symphonic metal and Nightwish particularly!!

Everybody listening??😂😂😂

I'm sorry about this, but I have to bring it up. I read a comment years ago about misheard lyrics to this song, and I can't to this day unhear it... Brace yourself and let this song be changed forever. "Carrots that wander" Sorry

2007... it came out 2007... my gosh i'm 24 now. Shortly before Tarja was leaving Nightwish, that was one of my biggest dreams to see them live. and now im 24.. time is running oh lord.. i can remember how often i heard "I wish i had an angel"...

I found this song, after I don't know how many years since I last hear it, by chance because I was looking for what "amaranth" was. I saw the thumbnail and clicked on it because why not... Immediately it brought me back all those years to the days of early high-school where my only friend was a girl 5 years older than me that liked this kind of music and she would show me them on the bus rides between home and hs... Man... it's been so long since I last saw her...

Anette Olzon queen 🖤 this album was the one that got me totally hooked to this band I love her voice. Dark passion play and Imaginaerum forever in my playlist I love those albums.

One of the best songs ever.

As a lover of both old, mid, and new NW, this still gives me chills. A gem of a song

When you have an urge to listen to one of these after many years, and you find you've already given so many of them a thumbs up.

Maybe I have the strangest feelings but somehow this song touches me deeply and I am nearly about to cry.
