Such an epic song... Nightwish always seem to amaze me with songs like this. Beauty of the Beast, Ghost Love Score... both absolutely out of this World.
This song is so wonderful, evolutive, the voice of Tarja, beyond of beautiful as it was said... One of my best NW song... I could kill to see them singing it in live now in Paris.... Elvenpath2008
Yes. Now that the band has Floor Jansen singing, they should be able to perform this song greatly again. Anette could not match Tarja. Floor will. One of my favorites.
I love this part the most: "My home is far but the rest it lies so close, with my long lost love under the black rose, you told I had the eyes of a wolf search them and find the beauty of the beast." I hope I didn't made any mistakes. Awensome song!
Century Child is such an AWESOME album. Ever dream (profound lyrics), ocean soul, dead to the world, feel for you, beauty of the best....o.o I love them =')
exelente es poco para describir esta magnifica cancion tan completa tiene solos, doble pedal extremo, parte tranquila, y con la voz de tarja y marco se acompleta la armoniosa cancion
one of my fav nightwish songs, shame it will never be played live again. tarja's accent really did it for me, annette sounds too american and the new slower songs remind me of disney songs......
This is one of my absolute favourite (old) nightwish songs! This song makes my soul fly... I would pay everything to see Tarja and nightwish togehter again and sing this song!
this is my anthem :) love the live performance, but PLEASE, annette can't sing this, don't let her destroy my anthem or i will die. My favorite of Nighwish, such a shame that now it became into Nightmare, so we have to keep this amazing performances in our memories and thats it. Tarja forever, love from Panama
OMG! i fell in love with this song, just as that, specially Long lost love part *_* Tarja used to have more energy an a prettier voice live back then as i can see... I don't like her live that much nowadays....
omg! T_T one of my favorite NW songs... i want to hear it live again... wonder if tuomas thinks the same.... :'( PLEASE, PLAY IT LIVE AGAIN!! give annette a chance to sing it **
well, Hans Zimmer is one of Tuomas' biggest influences musically, no doubt about it, so that would not surprise me. But you are right it does sound exactly like the beginning of the Backdraft theme. Personally, I think of it as a secret tribute to Hans Zimmer, it's designed to let the fans guess it ;). Good catch!
The way they have the cameras set up makes it seem like we're viewing them through "hidden" cameras. I also will never know why Nightwish never played with an orchestral accompaniment. Their music (this song and Ghost Love Score in particular) SCREAM orchestra in every way possible. Hopefully, they will NEVER do that with Annoot; her voice would be best suited with some silverware spinning around in a dozen blenders.
and very very beautiful :) (which i wouldnt usually say!) she looks here like she loves herself a bit less - thats much more attractive than someone who thinks they are great.... ;)
@SageOwl that's rude... give Anette more credit. she has improved A LOT. it would be interesting to hear this song live once more, and who knows? maybe she'll surprise us.
Well said, even though I don't think you can compare Tarja's style with Anette's. I listen to the Tarja albums more, but only because Anette has only done one album. By the way I'd like to point out that Tarja had very little respect for Nightwish fans, read the open letter.
