Nightwish - Last Ride Of The Day (With Lyrics) 

It's hard to light a candle Easy to curse the dark instead. Truer words were never spoken.

2024... Who tfk is here?

I love the bright energy of Annette’s voice it’s really lovely. She’s super talented

The music of Nightwish is a treasure of our age. As we remember Bethoven, Bach and Mozart, one day they will remember this. We should all see to that.

After hearing all of Nightwish' music, I can't help but think that Tuomas should go down in history as one of the greatest composers of his time, and along with the rest of this group, as the greatest band of all times.

Nightwish: the music resulting from angels coming to earth and deciding electric guitar, keyboards and drums were better than harps

"It's hard to light a candle Easy to curse the dark instead" - Nightwish.

Thank you Anette...dark passion play and imaginaerum are the best albums nightwish has ever made

In all fairness, this is a perfect song for Annette. What an amazing song

This band is the perfection, their music, their lyrics, incredible.

The most underrated group in music history.

Long live Annette, such a beautiful album. Whoever says she has a bad voice, he's hell not right.

I find her voice incredible. I can't sing the line "carnival of life" without my voice getting too high-pitched but she just hits it perfectly!

Tarja will always be my favorite. But this song sung by Annette is probably in my top 3 nightwish songs. How lucky we are to have had 3 singers of such skill.

This album lives on forever and ever:))

The song is so positive. It motivates you to feel powerful. That’s why this is a true power metal song

This is one of the few positive songs that I really love. Especially love how it reflects that its easy to curse the dark and hard to light a candle

It's hard to light a candle Easy to curse the dark instead. 100% relatable

I've been listening to this song for a while now and this is the moment I realize the solo is just awesome and that bridge is superb. I only listened and let it pass by but now there's no way to simply ignore it. Not to mention that the ending is epic. I will miss you, Anette. Long live to Nightwish :)

.. Is hard to light a candle, easy to curse the darkness instead...

this is by far nightwish's best song

This song is so amazing...

me 🥳 loving Nightwish songs for decades already..playing these songs over and over again

My forever the most favorite song!!!!!! I love Nightwish❤

I lost track of how many times my dad has played this in the car. It's a great song. Sounds way too epic to be about a theme park.

My favorite song on Imaginaerum.

Imaginaerum is atleast for me the best album from Nightwish, it is just the thing you imagine when someone says syphonic metal

the drums make it feel like you're on a roller coaster track

Nightwish peaked with Anette. This is their best album without a doubt.

My First Metal Band....One of Favorites!! X)

This is such a beast of a song... the drive it gives is completely insane!

This song is pure genius! Play on Repeat!

Wowww with Anette Olzon! I like her voice despite the others say that her voice sounds some pop or Rock star.. it´s nice for me..

Best music to listen to on loop while writing your story's boss battle.

Incredible song, you are amazing Nightwish ❤

One of my favorite songs from nightwish. It gets better each time almost.

I still love it and listen to it over and over again non-stop after 10 years 😍

This is way too epic for a song about a theme park. XD This sounds like it should be the background for an epic lord of the rings battle...On Dragons.

The song that i listened millions of times starting at 2years old to now. This song will be the one that will be allways my favorite song and the song thats reprecents me the most. Nightwish on paras!

“The beauty of this ride ahead, such an incredigle high”

This was my very best favourite song when I was working as a bicycle courier...always the last song at the end of the day, when riding back home.

Amazing how they pack so much power into this kind of smoothness

I just watched the movie this evening - I had *no idea* Tuomas actually wrote a movie for this album...and it got made!!!! The Easter eggs in the film are wonderful, the storyline seems pure Tuomas, and I *LOVE* how the whole band is in it!!!! Not to mention the pure magic at hearing bits of tracks to the album intertwined throughout. I'm going to watch it again. And maybe again after that.

2019 Last ride of the "year" \m/

122 people missed the ride

How the fuck have I not found this band before wtf! This has the same boss battle energy as Through the Fire and Flames does!

Faith and Sophia brought me here. Long Live She Wolf and Sea Wolf. We are all on Wolf's Floating Circus!

2019... This song is too epic to be real 🤩

Here from a Record of Ragnarok MMV. This song is super badass.

We live in every moment but this one Why don’t we recognize the faces loving us so What’s God if not the spark that started life Smile of a stranger Sweet music, starry skies Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes Early wake-ups in a moving home Scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun Open theme park gates waiting for Riding the day, every day into sunset Finding the way back home Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead This moment the dawn of humanity Last ride of the day Last ride of the day Wake up, dead Boy Enter adventureland Tricksters, magicians will show you all that’s real Careless jugglers, snakecharmers by your trail Magic of a moment Abracadabra Riding the day, every day into sunset Finding the way back home Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead This moment the dawn of humanity Last ride of the day Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead This moment the dawn of humanity Last ride of the day Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead This moment the dawn of humanity Last ride of the day

my neighbours must love this song.they listen to this 10 times a day,whether they like it or not

Nightwish is the word of EPIC.

ONLY Anette could have sung this album. No one else could have sung so beautifully. THIS is Anette Olzen's Album.

The lyrics in the chorus are so pretty.

What! a! Song!😍

By far my favorite Nightwish original!

this is happiest Nightwish song. i use last force of my hardbeating heart to force my self to stay in touch with it

The moment I read that line "Early wake-ups in a moving home" I busted up laughing at how fitting it is. This has been one of my favorite songs to blast while roaring through the mountains in my K20 camper for several years now, but Ive never been quite able make out the lyrics

Such a powerful mix of music and poetry. It makes me wanna cry even after years of listening to it. Masterpiece.

I like this song

When it come to Nightwish, even if i don't like the music in the song, the lyrics are always outstanding and extraordinary. That hardly ever happens though, and that's definitely not the case for this song. This song is perfection.

Tarja and Floor is really amazing but I think no one can sing this song better than Anette.

Anette ♥️

All of the different singers had their own styles that came out in the band when they were present. Tarja had a powerful operatic voice which led to songs like Nemo and Wish I had an Angel. Anette had a faster and more delicate voice, which provided a good contrast to the usual heavy style of the band. Floor just fucking works, which is why I would say she's my "favorite." Although, it isn't really fair to say which is better since they were so different. I think what would make more since is to say who fits the songs better, not about who is a better songer. As much as I love Floor though, I have to say this is Anette's song.

The most reliable part of the song was when she said that it is hard to light a candle and easier to curse the dark instead

Makes me think of back when I lived by a river, and had a little sailboat. It leaked, but luckily had an inner hull so it was just more ballast. I'd sail down that river in the morning and not come back until nearly sundown. I'd have the occasional mishap, but there was only one time I didn't make it back until after dark. Oh, I would have, but the wind died a little early. Mostly. I'd get a breath here and there, just enough to make headway against the gentle current. I was making it. I had to shake my head when my dad came out to "rescue" me in the canoe. He'd tried that before one time when we lived by a lake instead and I got caught in the lee of an island. He flipped the canoe. This time he'd gotten it down though. I still didn't think he should've risked it. I was doing fine. Slow but steady, and it was really peaceful.

For some reason I woke up today with this song stuck in my head.

This is one of my favourite song that keeps me alive everyday. Such a beautiful song. :)

The most favourite song of me!

The movie was perfect. Also the songs too.. i love the way their style of telling a story about an important point of the life.

Nightwish in general and Imaginaerum especially sound like fairy tales gone dark and twisted. And I love everything about it.

I actually found out about Nightwish through a book. John Ringo's "Under a Graveyard Sky" has a killer playlist in back that one of the main characters listens to. It has been really fun listening to the music as the action happens. :)

Ufffd wonderful music 👏👏👏👏😍😍😍

Mate that's really AMAZING work 【ROCK】︎💪 I'm LIKED it 🔥

Every song is an orchestra of rock - WOW !!!

Holy shit, I need that album!

I love this song for two reasons. 1) It's a great song 2) Whenever someone's eating food around me, this drowns out the sound of their lips smacking.

Quien llego por shuumatsu no valkirie Alguien para spamear al studio para que pongan esta song.

Wonderful ! One of the best nightwish`s songs :)

This song has been on my childhood from the beginning, its so epic🇫🇮💘

Este le quedaría anillo al dedo como ost para Shuutmasu no Valquirie

this song makes me feel happy. :D

I am here because of John Ringo's books. Most of his playlist is trash, but this. . . this I like.

The music on the song SOUNDS like an amusement park ride. I know that’s strange to say but the way it rises and falls, it’s like your on a roller coaster.

This to me is an anthem. There's PATP, Ghost Love Score, Song of Myself, GSOE, and in the list, Last Ride of the Day. It just sounds legendary.

awesome song.....wish i can hav it played for my last ride..

Thanks Suomi for the song recommendation

50% otakus para que sea el opening de shumatsu no valkyrie 50% fan de la banda 100% una genialidad por la canción

the music with anette was the epic part of Nightwish an it has a special part in the history of Nightwish

Anette is amazing!!!

I wish I could see life like this, I see this song as motivation to see life for its moments and not its whole

To think that this song is so amazing. Kinda like a song you can hear on some "awakening power" scene in an action movie or anime. And yes, Donguri brought me here

this number makes we wanna play rollercoaster tycoon :P

One of my fave Nw songs!

so in love with this band!!!

beautiful melody•••!!!

I love this song.

This song is very underrated

My introduction to this band was seeing the video for the song ‘Nemo’ on kerrang and since then I have had a fairly healthy obsession with them and their combination of mind blowing vocals and the mix of rock and orchestral music. In a nutshell quite simply one of the best bands about

I love Nightwish..i found this 2 years ago in youtube and loved so much💖
