Lyrics: Songs The Night Sings
I used to wish and wonder everyday
Close my eyes and see where it would take me
I'd get lost in my dreams when I was a girl, was a child
Restless heart and mind still open wide
Running careless under clear and blue skies
Even then I did know that one day I would
Walk away from the ones who'd enslave me
Every pain, every soul who would stain me
Leave behind little town where I once swore
I will never die here
Through the forest of green I will wonder
Underneath starry skies I will slumber
I will climb every hill, every mountain
Till I've seen them all
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
And now that I've seen just a little, not a lot
But I know who I am and who I am not
I could weep for the ones who stumble through life like they're lost
Heedless hearts and eyes that must be blind
Living joyless under pale and grey skies
I just want them to know that right now they could
Board the ship, hoist the sail, weigh the anchor
Set a course right towards the horizon
We can sail every sea, every ocean
Till we've seen them all
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I am totally in love with this song! I am so glad that Annette Olzon in her element, and people are finally appreciating how great her vocals are, and the band in total is amazing. They are also pretty great live.
Sonata Arctica lost so much when Jani Liimatainen was discharged. Incredible guy!
Yes Jani + sonata is great Powermetal. But sonata is now 💩🤦
Insomnium-valediction is sooo Jani 🤘
Jani should have taken better care of his military obligations!
Sonata Arctica is an over 20 years old band. The old classics are the best! :)
I've always loved Anette. I thought she was a great singer and vocalist for Nightwish. Some of my favorite songs from them is with her.
I'm glad people are finally appreciating her, especially since The Dark Element fits music to her style. They are doing a great job.
Eu amo a música ❤️ anette olzon é fantástica 👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
🇧🇷🇧🇷
This is actually very good song! Me likey😁
Hell yeah, Anette Olzon's sweet revenge 👊🤘😊.
On whom? Nightwish have never been better since Floor joined.
@@ChrisPage68 press x to doubt
PageMonster Floor is amazingly talented especially on live shows with nightwish (obv ghost love score at wacken with Floor is iconic at this point). However, I found the newest album to be a bit underwhelming and they didn’t really utilize her talents.
Imaginaerum is still a top NW album in their catalogue and I have to say Anette is one of the reasons why in addition to the songwriting
Jesus Christ. Shut the fuck up about Nightwish. No-one cares.
Annete was and still is great in studio recordings. Dont know how they do live but studio track is superb. Annete has that original "flow" which makes you want her to pronounce as many words as it is possible, because has that storytelling quality in her singing.
She fits better with these guys than the guys in Nightwish, therefore she also works better live... Look up their set at Sweden Rock last year...
a stone just fall from my heart, please more more, anett, dont look back but foreward
The chorus is giving me Nightwish's Storytime vibes
the intro reminds me of "Bye Bye Beautiful"
Big vibes.
Anette and Tarja looks like sisters♥️♥️♥️
Anette just summarized all the complaints that she is not Tarja, so she decide to become Tarja:D in later video with *not your monster* she is almost 99% Tarja (not taking to note voice, night and day ofcourse, and this is not bad, i used to be huge annete hater, but grew up over this, and actualy like many songs with her in Nightwish, and ofcourse Dark element is another portion of her voice, which i grew to even like, with great symphonic music Jani writes, it another dose for Nightwishholic like me:0
Hello guys. Jani Liimatainen is a great composer and guitarist, absolutely my favorite. As a still Sonata Arctica fan, I have to say that they have lost a lot with his departure. Nowadays his importance for the whole sound of the band is even more clear.
I couldn't agree more
Hey Annette in the "Daisy Dukes" looks great especially since she is closing in on the big 50!!!! Good for her, she looks healthy and happy with her new band and her vocals are a perfect match for their style. Looking forward to the new album and I guess we will see if there is any touring after that. Likely they will do the touring in Europe, not sure how much they want to go on the "long" tour schedule that many of the metal bands undertake. Hey I am so glad for Annette as this band is really allowing her to shine with the vocals and the song still has excellent musicianship backing her up, but it doesn't overwhelm her at any point. Great reaction and even better analysis by you guys!!
As far as I know, yours is the 3rd reaction video to this latest music video from TDE. Jani & Anette make really great music together, but then again Anette has always been great in studio recordings, even with Nightwish. P.S. At 48 years of age Anette still looks gorgeous.
Anette rules !! So awesome.
This is like new metal Abba, with the high energy and dancability. It's like impossible not to move your head and body when listening this! I have the very same tennis court -phenomena (head swinging side to side) as you guys did listening this. When Jani started to think this project, he told he wanted to do poppy metal. In Anette's wiki-page it says she wanted to do that too. So heck, Jani got the best possible singer for the genre! I always said Anette isn't a pop singer, because in Nightwish she really did so many sort of songs.. and in her past too. She sings all kind of music, mostly metal and rock last 20 years though. Bbut in the Dark Element, yeah it is poppy. And the bright vocals are very good in it. I always thought in Nightwish too, that her vocals are very good for intense songs (not only to ballads and jazz), like Bye Bye Beautifu for example.
I have one issue with this song. I don't get the transition in the middle of the song, the one before quitar solo. To me it doesn't fit.
People say they hear "Escapist" in this song. And very true, there's much similarity to it. Maybe inspiration? It's not hard to think that Jani would listen Anette's Nightwish songs and takes liking in Escapist. Or that Anette says she wants to do something like Escapist. Antonio is spot on.
I do love Escapist more, but it is a helluva good song and this one is helluva good too.
What a voice Anette has sounds better then ever!!!!
Thumbed up although I think it sounded as good in Nightwish. Just listen Escapist which reminds this song well.
She really shines with Jani and The Dark Element! 🤩
She has always sounded good in studio.
Annete looks gorgeous
Anette sounds so good...... She is really looking good too! Glad to see......... :-)
Nightwish, The Dark Element, Cellar Darling, Unleash the Archers and Frozen Crown tour. Come on, some incarnation of that please happen.
Great reaction guys! Couldn't agree more with your comments. Annette did her own album a while back and it is brilliant! Check out "Lies" from it. It will give you goosebumps!
Pop metal at its finest....love this group
I'm Happy to hear how good this is. Glad to see Anette has found good place for her. 🙂
Totally addicted to this song, Annette Is Awesome :)
Anette has always been a cutie, but the way she looks at 48 is something else. Really impressive.
Wow, she's 48? She makes it look a hell of a lot better than I do.
She's in great fit, and looks smoking.
Annette is in her Dark Element here sticking it to Toumas, these guys are outnightwishing Nightwish xD
But seriously speaking I've heard the whole album and WOW blown away absolutely amazing album as good as any top melodic or power metal band has come out with in last few years. It really is THAT good.
Great video guys, greeting from Chile! Can you react to some of the old sonata arctica vids with Jani? There is a concert called “For the Sake of Revenge”, pick randomly any song there are all good. Anyways keep it up guys
Ps: Jani is the composer of the entire songs of the dark element and he was also the music composer in the old sonata arctica albums
Jani didn't compose those old albums, just a song, My Selene on Reckoning Night. I think people misunderstand this. For example Silence, Winterheart's and Unia all have the text "all music and lyrics by Tony Kakko". That doesn't mean Jani didnt have any part and that he couldn't write songs well. For Sake of Revenge is great stuff!
Athaya88 I said music, i know the lyrics and some melodies were composed by Tony, but jani was also the composer of many iconic melodies
@@josegodoysantacruz7586 everybody has the right to an opinion, but again, "all music and lyrics". "Besides playing, he also contributed to the band's songwriting with "My Selene" on 2004's Reckoning Night and "Prelude for Reckoning", their introduction tape in "For the Sake of Revenge". He has also co-written three songs for the band's first album, Ecliptica, "8th Commandment", "Replica" and "Picturing the Past"." Maybe this is what you mean?
@@Athaya88 Yup. I wonder why people struggle to accept this. Reading the booklet if you have it should be easy enough. Sometimes a songwriter just doesn't want to keep making the same music forever and that's fine. Doesn't take away from Jani since he obviously knows how to write.
@@MadnessTW Agree, he really can write :) so glad he joined Insomnium as well.
Annette has come a long way and she is awesome, night wish was to much for her, doing what she can do now is Awesome, she did it.
Jani Liimatainen never disappoint me.. Now he's inside the band Insomnium... ok, ok, ok... AWESOME partnership!
everytime I come back to this channel his voice just gets deeper
Puberty....
Everything about this is great. Love it
ive played this song maybe 100 times now
Love the song love the solo which as you say just keeps the rhythm going not going off at a tangent
I loved most of Annettes songs with Nightwish...I thought they were 2 fantastic albums she did
Awesome reaction! This had the best elements of great "Dark Passion Play" era Nightwish songs like "Escapist" and "Bye Bye Beautiful." And I was loving all the patches on his vest!
they start play this song in finland and radio rock station- i heard and i think great nighwish song never heard and anette sounds so great, then they say that was the dark element,i think what the f.... i looking what is this band,ok ex sonata guitarist and anette new band., cool i think. anette find her place to be great im happy that.
The chorus has that Storytime by Nightwish and Call Out My Name by Amaranthe. Love this song so much
Another great review guys.. Yeah the Dark Element a class act. Lovin it. Cheers
This is better than Nightwish , but when swedes and finnish people do music they make magic. I love the sound of the song , very high pitch and clean .They are good live i heard also , i belive they will grow very fast and next album will be even better .This band and Metalite are two bands growing fast , and the catchy songs are just easy to get pumped up to.
Nice review to a great track!! Looking forward to the album indeed 🤟
Goodjob annette
I think the problems with some of the songs Anette was tasked to sing had to do with not only range, but also the style. When Anette had to sing Tarja songs, she wasn't just having to sing an arrangement for a different range. The songs written for Tarja had a different cadence for her singing style. Songs written for Anette demonstrate this. Her style was more visible and she was more comfortable. Here, it gets even better. Partially this may be due to the songwriters. Tuomas is a brilliant songwriter, however he writes around what he wants the band to create. He takes into consideration what he has to work with and then composes everything. The Dark Element likely has songwriters who allow the singer to input alterations where optimizations can better be made. A difference in style.
Tarja and Anette are both sopranos, according to singer vocal range videos and Wikipedia, Anette has the widest range of Nightwish singers, but all 3 are almost identical: Anette gets a note lower than Floor, Floor gets note lower than Tarja and Tarja gets a note higher than Anette and Floor. So it's a non-issue.
Edit: Anette did sing some Tarja's classical style songs, but she sang them, as Floor does too, in contemporary style. I think the "issue" with Anette is, that there is Tarja's version to compare. Anette is a very good singer, not just in studio, but also live. Both she and Tarja suffered on too many gigs in a row health and vocal problems, Anette probably more than Tarja: they both talked about that issue, Tarja thought this was the main issue with the tours, and that forced her to fight he band to cut the amount of gigs.
Dark Passion Play songs weren't even compsed to Anette's vocals, for that album Tuomas had free hands to compose what ever.
@@Aurinkohirvi Floor can growl, so does Anette's range really go lower? :)
@@aliveandkickingohyea Vocal fry (including growling) is not counted into singing range, only modal singing is.
@@Aurinkohirvi Ok. Anyway it seems, that Floor uses her whole range live more than these two other ladies.
@@aliveandkickingohyea Like you would know.
I love it!
Is it just me who think Anette looks like Tarja in this video? I surely do. She is so amazing!
Excellent channel
Thank you
Fllor>Annete, but she is amazing singer too, and this song is epic, like her voice and how she looks. One more cool band, thanks for a reaction!
Awesome song!!!... VERY VERY Nightwishy tho... like i would think this WAS Nightwish if i first heard it without being told...lol... Great job as always guys... i dont post much but I watch you guys still EVERY day!!!...lol... Great job as always!!!
React to Tarja!! Supremacy or Victim of Ritual live Woodstock 2016
Instrumentally this song reminds me quite a bit of "Escapist." Vocally it's reminiscent of "Storytime."
Pedro, just saw Insomnium with Jani in Atlanta at Progpower USA. You should react to their new song Valediction (if u haven’t already). Jani and Markus tore it up. Can’t wait until they come back in the Spring!
That video is copyright blocked
Yas!
Stratovarius - Paradise
Do You realize that Jani is wearing Insomnium wristbands? Little easter egg! 😂
You guys are cool! Go on with your videos and stay heavy! 🤘🏻
This was a great sounding song, headbang friendly, and that bass solo is great!.
This song gets 8 out of 10 🤘’s, the song is a bit repetitive that is why it only gets 8 🤘’s.
Keep on rocking guys! 🤘🤘
🇸🇪🇫🇮🤘
Excellent!
It remainds me older song of band called "Sirenia". You should check then out too. They are pretty good.
They are still making music but it's quite monotonous.
Nice song but I wanted to like it more. It sounds like another of their songs.
What a great morning for music. First this song, which was a surprise and I loved it, and then I noticed in my subscriptions that Amaranthe has a new video. Woohoo!
Amazing song!!! fist in a face!!!
Still waiting for some Machinea Supremacy reaction😎
Could you react to Tarja - Tears in Rain? Thx!
I like this more than Nightwish's last album
Frank van Es me to🙏😊
This might come as a shock to you Frank so you should sit down. Seated? Good. Ok, demonic grubs have crawled in to your brain, probably through your ears and are making you see and hear things that are not there. They are implanting false memories and messing with reality. Suggest immediate medical (or spiritual) attention is required. Quick, before it's too late
@@sylbaryn thank you for your opinion on my opinion, Doctor Green
@@Vanes-NL All fun mate. All fun. I do actually like the song. 😁
@@sylbaryn no worries, it's all good 😃
Have you heard of The Warning? 3 young ladies (who are beautiful as well as talented) who play high-energy hard rock. This is Dust to Dust from their 2nd album, with the drummer singing lead while drumming!: ua-cam.com/video/TeIbG8nkOiU/v-deo.html
Ah, great to see that Jani likes X Japan (patch) \,,/
Oooohhhhh... Anette is back in Nightwish 😁
By the way... I'm I the only one expecting for Pedro to somehow misread Jani's name as Jari Litmanen???
It did cross my mind!😁
You know, so many people do that slip.
J adore cette chanson .....
Thanks to her Nightwish its today the band who many people wished
React to Dance Gavin Dance - Inspire The Liars!
I do enjoy Dark Element quite s bit but some parts are so nightwishy that it's kinda silly. But Anettes voice definetly fitd perfect to their music. I hope to hear much more of them.
please react to this awsome song"Pretty Maids - "Serpentine"
yes that song is awesome too.
I really like you guys but I'm really surprised to know that you are not a RUSH fan. They are my favourite all time band. Anyway peace and love. Keep doing good stuff !!
Not bad. 🤘
Hi. :) Can you react some of russian rock/metal music? Something from this songs?
Китай - После Дождя, рок-версия
Risha - Дороженька
Tracktor Bowling - Шрамы
Грай - В Объятиях Мары
Alkonost - Птица-Печаль
Can you review Raised fist - Flow by the way you guys are awesome 😊
This songs sounds awfully familiar to me, first notes on the bells, I immediately thought of Last Ride of the Day... When the guitars and strings kicked in, there was no doubt left... As Last Ride is a good song, this one can't be bad, can it? Hmmmm....
Ah yep, you're right! And how about Escapist?
@@Aurinkohirvi Damn, you're right. Haven't listened to that one for quite some time.
This is pop music.
It's poppy metal. Just what Jani said he wants to do, when he was starting this project.
@@Aurinkohirvi Fair enough. Each to his own I guess.
Joo! Jani takasin, täyttä tykitystä, muna nousee pystyyn!
interesting song :) can you do brezno - krst
Wdll, she used to sing for nightwish so...........
I can tell ur son is getting older lol his voice got deep!!
That is for sure, also more facial hair.
@@APREACTS i couldn't see his facial hair but i could see his hair is longer and your facial hair also lol. I haven't watched your videos in a while, that's why i realized this changes lol.
So both of my requested reactions have 0 dislikes, time for another one :)
Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
...and as a bonus since you haven't done any
The Night Flight Orchestra - Gemini
She was good in the studio with Nightwish. Not so much live.
I hope she can pull off what I heard on this video live. If so they've got a winner!
React to the new nile?
Tarja?.......Who?
This is the kind of song I would enjoy hearing on the radio, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to. The chorus was pleasant and catchy.
Her voice definitely works better here than most of her stuff with Nightwish, not that it was particularly bad though.
Where's the funny drummer :(
You mean the angry drummer?
I think it was kinda bland, but the melodies were nice.
Nigthwish copy... 110%
Bring those hate comments, im 83 born ya motafks!!!
The Escapist by Nightwish
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooring
With a singer who had some "oomph" to her voice, this could have been a terrific song. Instead, they got Ms. Olzon in. And there's an annoying keyboard sound in the chorus that is really nagging. Other than that, I liked it: 7/10.
@Mr Andersson Aren't you hilarious.. 🤔
I dont know... maybe it's me but she looks like shes trying to copy Tarja's look...
Yeah. Oh well.
Didn't know Tarja owned the black hair/black dress styles 🤔
@@sirencall8073 she doesn't but its awkward when someone copies how you look
@@AetherPirate1 You should check Anette's instagram, her style is waaaaay more different than Tarja. People just love to associate Anette with anything related to Nightwish ever since she left.
@@sirencall8073 I dont like Annette, never have and probably never will... all I mentioned was in this video she has the fashion and looks of Tarja from mid to late nightwish... and Annette didnt leave she was fired big difference
The little guy on the left side looks und makes in EVERYONE Video the same again and again😡
