@@tinkeli4055 I still have some hope for he coming back, although i maybe shouldn't. He has always been my favourite from all of them, and it's hard to think NW without him. I still respect his decission, I'm sure it was best for him...
Marco was my favorite Nightwish member. It always felt like he was the pillar that supported the rest of the band. Sure, Tuomas wrote the songs, Floor, Anette or Tarja fronted the band with majestic vocals, Emppu and Jukka/Kai were gods on the guitar and the drums respectively... but amidst it all there was always Marco, standing there and strumming his bass, providing the backbone to each track and his vocals perfectly accentuating the female leads. And it seemed like he would always be there. At the end of the day I think he was the most important member of Nightwish save for Tuomas. Couldn't imagine the band going on without him, and apparently, according to some interviews, neither could Tuomas or Emppu at first. I'm glad they decided to go on, because Nightwish surely has more music magnificence to offer the world, but it will be tough seeing the live performances without everyone's favorite blonde viking playing that bass.
Well said! To me the best of Nightwish has always been Marko. I’m glad that they decided to continue because it’s the bread and butter for many people and now they have Floor who is exceptional. What a voice and presence! There’s nothing wrong with the current NW setup, they are a world class crew. Still, I love Marko the most, his voice just goes straight to my heart.
I totally agree - Tuomas is the mastermind, the genius behind Nightwish, Floor ist the face and the voice, but Marco was the heart. Miss him more than I can express in words 😢🤘
If you are interested in Nordic music, I strongly recommend you to look at this music though. :))) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJAYwsmRl5o.html
Who is here crying because Marco is leaving? Of course , it's sad, but i really wish him all the best . My journey in Nightwish music began with him and he will always be a part of it, even if he's not in the band any more♥♥♥ Dear Marko, take care , I send you all my love and support
I am... I never have been to Nightwish concerts, always thinking there is time. I did not cry after Taria - I liked her voice on records, on concerts not so much. But Marco??!! I cry and I cry and I cry. But still, of course I respect his decision, I do hope he will find new paths and in general get better. It is sad that such a wonderful guy, who "has everything" one could think, struggles so much.

Floor and Marco hitting that chorus together is one of those things you feel your entire body and mind react to, even just watching it on RU-vid. This is his song. I hope Marco is doing better, and he has my best wishes for his retirement. Sad as it is having him leave, that's only a testament to how important he is to this band and how great the music they made with him is.

He doesn't belong to NW, he has his own band Tarot and solo career as many other capabilities and side projects. Marko he's a complete musician and NW without Marko, is just a band. First Tarja, then Anette, now Marko. Who's next that will leave (or probably fired by a public letter, lol, so pathetic) the egocentric keyboardist behind for being bitchy pretending that he's a star? Floor? Is she leaves, well, NW would be dead, forever and ever, hahaha. Well, honestly I think that the name of the band should be "the Egocentric Keyboardist who thinks that he's the new Mozart and the band" 😂😂😂 Btw, before someone say that he's a great composer, ha, just take a look on Tobias Sammet work with Avantasia. Even Marko joined a song with them. I don't need to say more, 😂😂😂
@@d.h.6138 There was some drama with Tuomas and Tarja back in the day, but I wouldn't read too much into it. Nothing to do with Marco leaving. He had his own reasons.
I can't believe this band has been around since 1996, released 9 albums and only sold 9 million records world wide! They should've sold at least upwards 25-30 million considering the quality of the music which is epic! I'm from Sweden and fucking Europe has sold 25 million albums :O
This song has everything: very harmonically rich guitar part, so poetical lyrics and wonderful melody. His voice fits perfectly for this song and he sings it so well... Bravo!
An old man by a seashore At the end of day Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flying Making him daydream The time before he became One of the world`s unseen Princess in the tower Children in the fields Life gave him it all: An island of the universe Now his love`s a memory A ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water Seabed far below Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago So long ago So long ago This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind so long ago So long ago
It's extremely sad to hear that Marco is leaving Nightwish... Don't know who can replays such a legend. But we have to understand his decision. Good news is that we can still enjoy ourselves listening to this absolutely stunning song....

This song reminds me of when I was a kid. The gypsys would come stay out at my grandparents farm down on the river for about 3 months. They would have about 20 wagons in a circle around the bonfire. All of my cousins & I would lay under the wagons everynight & listen to the music & watch them dance all night long.
One of the things I love about Marco is that against someone as amazing as Floor he can more than hold his own. The entire band is made up of immensely talented people who are legends in their own right, and who unite together to make something truly incredible.
His face when the whole band joins the song... bro... that happyness, that smile full of joy when you know you're enjoying what you do... I hope he found that same joy and fufillment in his life now that he is taking some time off. Other than that, hope from my heart that his life keep going up and awesome for him! Thank you for saving our lives Mr. Hietala (at least for me this songs, this band was a huge deal of help in my most darkest days), thank you!
This is my favorite song ever. The second it starts, in my mind I’m on an old wooden ship in the middle of the ocean, the storm and waves playing with the vessel like a ball, seagulls spitting on my head.... it’s amazing
Marco is a bassist, a singer, a performer. He is so good at all. His presence on stage is huge. Nightwish with both Floor and Marco on stage are probably the best live metal band. Having experienced Pinkpop 2022 and mainly, Hellfest 2022, we all know now that Nightwish can still do amazing shows. The music is always great, Tuomas, Emppu, Kai, Troy are still top musicians and Jukka is a perfect bassist. Floor is really awesome performing, her vocals, energy, contact with audiences are the best ever. Shoemaker and Ad Astra outro are incredible. This band is still amazing live. But, with Marco on stage they are THE best live band.
i'll miss him but honestly, he was with the band for 20 years which is longer than many bands even last and i completely understand that he wants to move on. his wife and kids come first, after all.
I'm sad to have never seen them live, I was hoping to do so the very next chance I got. I still will but it will be missing something without him. He was a huge part of why nightwish has been so special to me. We'll miss you Marco but we wish you all the best
Me neither, in fact I've never been to any concert in my life so I was hoping they would be my first. When they had announced the virtual show, I bought my ticket because this was better than nothing. Now it won't feel the same and maybe Troy will be the one to sing Endlessness. It would be cool if at the virtual event he sent a video message for us or at least maybe just play Endlessness.
If ever a band deserved to find the fountain of youth, never grow old, and make music for all time... it would be this lineup of Nightwish. They've found their perfect blend, and to hear the band speak in interviews, they would do it forever if they could.
Thank you Marco. For sharing your hearth with us. May the world be as good to you as you have been to us. Wonderful memories that will inspire many forever. Now go do what you love, you deserved it,
I love all these guys together and Marco is such a sweetheart. He's such a treasure to have and I love this song because he gets to showcase his stellar voice and his stage presence. I've been following NW since their first album and they age like a fine wine. They just keep getting better and suprising me. 💙💙
Despite all the lead singers, Marco has always been my favourite. Tarot or Nightwish, his voice just has that something. Having Floor as a back up vocalist just tells something. I´ve had the privilidge to see them live and it was awesome. A man and a guitar with 20 000 people, that sums it it up quite well. How many people can you really put in that situation. Keep well and hold your colours high!
I'm teary eyed. That was so beautiful. As a guitarist for 22 years, medievil-sounding music is something I definitely enjoy. Although I don't like Nightwish (well, I've never really listened that much to them), this was enchanting. And I love his cleft beard. Like a true viking.
Every night Nightwish takes the stage Marco goes toe to toe with one of the most powerful and versatile vocalists to ever walk the planet. And he never once comes off second best. Enough said.
A TRUE FUCKING LEGEND!!!!! HOPE TO SEE HIM BACK WITH NIGHTWISH VERY SOON..... This masterpiece exemplifies the genius and koolness of Marko.... already missing you!
@@henkoosterhof5947 Geddy Lee and Mike Rutherford also played double-neck bass/guitar (both Rickenbacker, in my mind). It's rare, but I think there should be a serial model.
this is just pure magic, this takes me to another dimension, it has a jethro tull touch, with all due respect NIGHTWISH is magic keep on rocking Hell yeaaaaa
Amazing song .Marko is a great musisian and singer too. lam very sad for his disision but life is like a ship and Nightwish have a lot of journeys to do.
Loves what he does. Owns what he does. The backpillar of great band. And yet humble enough to stand in the shadow, making others shine. Thank you Marco!
Gotta love his humor at the begnning! xD And his face when waiting for his dear friends to start making music with him and so, so much love and mutual respect on stage there. It warms my heart (yet also makes it bleed with him resigning)!
Заслушался так, что забыл вначале поставить палец вверх) исправил)) и ещё, исходя из того что Марко великолепно пел дуэтом с Тарьей и также великолепно поет с Флор , то несомненно это заслуга Марко , браво!
@@damianantonioalvarezbarria5162 They're hugely famous there of course. It's natutral. But outside of Finland they can only book small-venue and festival shows. It's a shame.
I can listen to this song for a thousend times a day, still not bored... ;-) But there are more songs to enjoy , the Nightwish songs are all a piece of art. Respect for them all, what they do and made, and make!
