I have had many periods of my life. Many seasons with different music, different artist.This song however, I will carry with me to the day that i die. I am convinced that 20 years from now, every now and then, i will get on a booze trip and headbang to this song as if it was the first time i heard it.
Friend of mine saw them live. Floor Jansen sung this song, and from what she said, did a remarkably good job. VERY difficult song. Tuomas Holopainen's keyboard part is very hard. He really is a genius.
+Sandcaster2009 I am looking forward to hearing this song in Budapest in Decemper. As for keyboard part it isn't especially difficult. Parts from Sacrament of Wilderness and Pharaoh Sails To Orion are more tough to play.
I like Floor too mate, but listen to the Refrain - her opernic voice is perfekt. There are Songs for all the 3 leadsingers Nightwish had. For example "Yours is an Empty Hope" and "Amaranth" :]]
+Gothic Chronicles I think Tarja pretty much dropped her darker tone during the Century Child sessions. Her voice is more light and majestic nowadays. While Floor, on the other hand, has a this darker, deeper tone that I like (listen to After Forever's cover of She Is My Sin).
They said out of respect for Tarja it's not getting touched at all for lives and such. Which is why it hasn't been done by Nightwish since her dismisal.
Arcanua You gotta admire it when people are able to keep a certain baseline respect even after they've had their arguments and grew appart. We need more of that in this world.
+Nrik Jrz When Floor sings this song, a highly massive star forms anywhere in our galaxy and begins to scorch and dazzle the space with its glow. Thus, one Nightwish concert adds an O2V-O5V star to the existing ones.
Wow, literally one of the worst song I have ever heard. Awful synths, pretentious singing and guitars, no sense of construction... And no, I'm not a poptarts. My favorite bands are 65daysofstatic, Igorrr (here's some good use of Baroque-style singing mixed with Metal), Nosaj Thing, Television, Slowdive, Diabologum and R.E.M.
You must be right then, yet I don't like to piss on a genre I don't really know well, would you recommend other albums I might enjoy more ? I heard that In Flames was alright... Furthermore, I kinda liked Tuomas Holopainen's solo album...
Ciche nightwish has everything from heavy screaming metal, acoustic sing-song-y vibes, beautiful harmonics, and more. They have something for everyone and the groups like them have something for everyone as well. My personal favorite is I WANT MY TEARS BACK by nightwish, it utilizes collaboration between the tin whistle / pipes and an electric guitar and goes in between a faster and slower pace. NEMO is slower and more beautiful and mysterious while LAST RIDE OF THE DAY is faster and would be perfect for just about any epic movie trailer. THE ISLANDER is slower and something a lot of people not familiar with nightwish would probably appreciate. Other bands like XANDRIA, DELAIN, and WITHIN TEMPTATION are quite similar as well
Ciche With what all ya said was wrong with the song you really do sound like a Poptart and regardless of your favorite band doesn't make you safe from being called one, if you think this is the "worst" it'd be a waste of your time to listen to their first album, go off and listen to you kind of metal don't need bashing over genres ;)
