Just don't try to speak for all of us finnish people Tommi, it's true that most of us are not believers but there are still many people including me, who keeps God better than salmiakkikossu.
The fact that Tuomas came up with the idea of this unique type of sound for this band with Tarja's perfect voice is genius, and the rest of the musicians in this group are fantastic.
Honestly, I've only very rarely heard a vocalist--male or female--with a voice as strong as Tarja's, without sounding frenzied or strained. She brought a kind of unique poise to their sound that really fleshed it out. I'm not sure how you compensate for the loss of something like that.
When I listen to it, I become a little better as a person every time. A masterpiece of lyrics writing, composing and performing, along with eternal Scandinavian Magic.
One of my all-time favorite bands. Tarja's voice is ethereal. She is a soprano with a three-and-a-half octave range. Nightwish's music has been consistently epic, inspiring, and, at least to me, soul-touching. I loop this video and will listen to it 10-15 times almost every day. Peace, Blessings, and Grace.
Walking in the Air is my favourite winter song ever!! I love this version so much because in this version, Tarja voice is beautiful, it still managed to make my heart melt.
I want this to last forever... When I was a child, I watched this movie in silent, wondrous awe. As an adult, I listen to this version and there is almost nothing in this world that I have experienced that compares in such vast beauty and soul-wrenching longing, an impossible dream of floating beyond the clouds, soaring above all things and being cold, yet warm, flooded with such intensity and cloud-lit magic that defies the very existence of all things earthly and mundane. Thank you, Nightwish.
I sang this song with my chorus ages ago. It's still one of my favorite songs ever, and I'm so happy to have found a version of it by this fantastic band!
Shiver my britches!!!!!😀😬😀😁🐱😂😆😄😅😃😋😀😒😓😨😰😱👽👹👻👾💀👿🐲🐉👍 They just keep on making those excellent songs like 4-ever & ever!. God bless them, & HALLELUJAH!! 👍😀😬😀😇😀😁🐱👼😂😆😄😅😃😈😨😰😱👽🎭👻⚡👾✨🐲🌊🐉👹👿🎃🌞🌝🌚💀🗿🌟
"I believe this is my first time listening to this song. I am already ENTRANCED BY THIS AWESOME AND ELECTRIFYING WORK OF ART AND MUSIC!!!! TARJA, MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU!!!!!!"
I just looooove this music! Didn´t now about them, I am amazed by this song, just love it and love it and love it!!!! Thanks for this beautiful music, it moves my heart!!
Oh, so happy I found this song again. I loved it before and just forget about it until I heard it on radio last night. It was soooo good to hear it again :D
In love the opera and the drums and guitar it's such a good blend and it seems soo powerful too they even made this song sound better than ever if an artist or a group can do this they are master's
Ok, I admit I'm completely out of the loop. Just stumbled across this for the first time while looking for the 1982 version of this from "The Snowman." I've adored that film since I was a child and love what this band has done with the song from it :)
This is the first song I heard from Nightwish. I was searching for another song and downloaded it by mistake in one of those old mp3 sharing windows apps (Limewire? I don't remember). One of the best mistakes I've ever done.
Holy shit. Exactly the same story. Limewire on I believe my father's first Pentium computer, all those years ago. Realised it was wrong, but played it in the background... and here we are today.
I myself also found nightwish through pirated music and now I've probably given them 200+ dollars from all the merch I've bought from them. They earned it and then some. Great band.
juu mahtava ääni ja nainen olis vieläkin laulamassa niillä ; ( ne albumit missä tarja ne vaan on niin hienosti tehty ja laulettu, marco kanssa hyvä laulamaan ja aina kunnon parta ja poseeraukset ja ilmeet : D
TheCalipsa On Tarja aika ylivertainen Heavy solisti ja pärjää myös oopperassa. Olin katsomassa hänen konserttiaan Argentiinassa stadionilla, jossa oli varmaan 100 tuhatta katsojaa. Ei täällä Euroopassa päästä sellaisiin katsojalukuihin ja esitys oli päätä huimaavan kaunis. Repe
I don't know who wrote the original but Nw clearly nailed it.. They literally made it THEIR song. Tarja's vocals are pure magic.. Lovely album as a whole, probably their best.
Worst decision? Stop with this bullshit. Yes, Tarja was great and so was Anette. Anette sings in one of my favorite Nighwish songs. They are different singer, that's it. They are both great. To many people doesn't like change and for that reason, they can't enjoy the final product.
+Sean RobinsonJR agreed! Some people don't seem to understand that different does not necessarily mean bad! Tarja and Anette's voice is very different but both are amazing in their own way
Truth be told. . I love both albums with Anette. Especially Imaginaerum.. it's pure magic. Floor is exceptionally great live as she can do justice to both eras, but Endless Forms could have been a lot better as a whole, apart from 3-4 excellent songs.
You see, Celtic women (The group) have to whispy of voice, but Nightwish has the strong voice that just sends intense chills down my spine like a good ASMR video
LOL In reply to some of you who seem to think the kid was Scottish (???!!!), Aled Jones is from the very tiny village of Llandegfan on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales and his accent is very real on it as he is also a Welsh speaker like myself. I know, I was in school with him!
Αφιερωμένο στην αγάπη μου και γυναίκα της ζωής μου! Με ταξιδεύεις σε κόσμο μαγικό και όμορφο μακριά από τούτα τα σκατά που ζούμε..Σε λατρεύω και σ'ευχαριστώ για την υπομονή σου..:)
I start to cry everytime i listen to this.. probably bc it remains me of my little brother that commited suicide. Why do i even share this, thats just the way the cookie crumble. Its too beautiful And its truly amazing, ive read through so many comments because there is no bad comments on this song wow
And Sleeping Sun. I first heard that masterpiece when I was watching a short video about abandoned military Romanian aircraft. The song fit so perfectly. And then I discovered the Magic of Nightwish and Tarja. Had to find out who was it that was mesmerizing me. What a joyous surprise. I now have their whole catalog, including all three singers. Tarja is still my favorite, but Anette and Floor are also great.
The marriage of Opera and Metal is maybe one of humanity's most beautiful creations.
Agreed
Seconded
That's why Tarja is a goddess worshiped by many
So true!
True, i agreed!
My god this woman's voice is beyond words.
Good voice
I think so too - it's just awful! Ouch!
I just cant stop hearing this WONDER over and over. God bless you Tarja. The most beautiful wonderful awesome ever girl. God bless Finland.
in soviet russia i mean finland we not need god we need salmiakkikossu
Sitten nostamaan paahtoleipää terveydellesi - sorry virheestä Google kääntää

JonneSaija TPS ja David
Rezeart Zgjanjolli I'm drunk and cried when I heard this. That voice tore into deep places in my soul I did not know existed.
Ez az igazi 5 ös Nightwih zenekari felállás a leges legjobb a világon ! Tarja Turunennel !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's time to remember about your winter song😁
@@Daentisto haha thank you! I will listen to it wearing a onesie, near a fire with a warm mug of hot chocolate
I like this one too: Rainbow - Snowman ua-cam.com/video/_0Q1DR5grt0/v-deo.html
listen to Kurt Nielsen version....thank me later

Goosebumps... Love this cover and Tarja's voice!
This song has been my companion since I was a little girl!! Now I'm grown up and it still makes me shiver every time I listen to it!!
My entire self is weeping! Her voice is beautiful!
I sang this song with my chorus ages ago. It's still one of my favorite songs ever, and I'm so happy to have found a version of it by this fantastic band!
This was played at a funeral i attended today. Was impressive. RIP Mattia.
RIP Mattia #godbless
was played at my wifes funaral, RIP Loes(30-9-1967. 13-5-2011)
wtf is loes? that's the weirdest name I've ever seen...
drochot so sorry for your loss, my condolences and this is a great song to celebrate someone's life I sure she was an amazing woman
It's a Dutch name. Pronounced "Loos," if I recall correctly. I'd have to ask my wife.
As a past fan of Nightwish I've to say this is very divine. A unique take. Special, taken unto its own. Rich, deep and powerful. I love it.
First time I've heard their version. I've loved this song since it came out with the animation (the movie is classic!). Very nicely done by Nightwish!
Such a beautiful song. Such a beautiful version. I remember watching "The Snowman" with this song in it. It has almost a lullaby quality to it.
I just can't stop listening to this song. Amazing voice!
Shiver my britches!!!!!😀😬😀😁🐱😂😆😄😅😃😋😀😒😓😨😰😱👽👹👻👾💀👿🐲🐉👍 They just keep on making those excellent songs like 4-ever & ever!. God bless them, & HALLELUJAH!! 👍😀😬😀😇😀😁🐱👼😂😆😄😅😃😈😨😰😱👽🎭👻⚡👾✨🐲🌊🐉👹👿🎃🌞🌝🌚💀🗿🌟
This is Tarja's song. As much as I love Foor, I can't imagine anyone else singing this beautiful, magical piece better than Tarja.
No, it's Peter Auty's song. This is just another (even though one of the best) cover versions.
Tarja! I can't say that I miss you! I only miss you from Nightwish!
You still rock on whatever you do!!!
Absolutely love "The Snowman", I always tear up when I see it because it truly is a work of art, it's just beautiful :D
Hier is op een ongeloofelijke manier de brug tussen hardrock en klasieke muziek gevonden..Tarja is echt een geweldige zangeres.
greets...Walther
I love the ending to this song. Awesome.
Nightwish is the Best.
Probably my favorite Nightwish song. Peace, Blessings, and Grace.
Tarja rules.The best version of the Walkin in the air..I am proud to be from Finland .
You had alexi laiho also, ive been in Helsinki and is proud of that ;)
Best version for me Kurt Nielsen
"I believe this is my first time listening to this song. I am already ENTRANCED BY THIS AWESOME AND ELECTRIFYING WORK OF ART AND MUSIC!!!! TARJA, MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU!!!!!!"
Omg this song has sent shivers all down my back what a beautiful voice wow I absolutely love it
Children gaze, open mouthed, their ears astounded by surprise. Awesome version Nightwish and Tarja
I would of loved to see Tarja perform this live ,what an amazing voice gives me shivers.
This song is AMAZING! Definitely one of my favorites. I love Nightwish so much.
Personally the best version of this song.
I just looooove this music! Didn´t now about them, I am amazed by this song, just love it and love it and love it!!!! Thanks for this beautiful music, it moves my heart!!
Try Swanheart, Sleeping Sun, While your lips are still red. They have awesome songs.
best song ever :) loved it for over years. Good thing it gets more attention now.
There's no Christmas without Tarja!
VJScope agreed\m/
Yes another excellent song from a brilliant band God bless them
Oh, so happy I found this song again. I loved it before and just forget about it until I heard it on radio last night. It was soooo good to hear it again :D
Nightwish mit Tarja ist einfach fantastic. Tarja bitte komm zurück, Nightwish ist nichts ohne dich.
Tarja's voice is just amazing
BEAUTIFUL !! Nightwish' version of this song is amazing! Love the way they ended it.
best version of this song
I think the live version is better
ua-cam.com/video/OA8xIfZHU-g/v-deo.html
It's a bit faster and it's got an amazing energy.
I live in U.S. and I do not feel that much of any music here really is as wonderfully awesome as Nightwish................
I have only heard Chloe Agnew, of Celtic Woman, sing this song... Now, I get to hear NightWish do it !!! Yeah !!! This is GREAT !!!
In love the opera and the drums and guitar it's such a good blend and it seems soo powerful too they even made this song sound better than ever if an artist or a group can do this they are master's
Amazing song, beautiful sound, best version I heard so far!
Tarja - superb excelent magic Singer. Thanks.
Ok, I admit I'm completely out of the loop. Just stumbled across this for the first time while looking for the 1982 version of this from "The Snowman." I've adored that film since I was a child and love what this band has done with the song from it :)
It's seems as this piece of awesomeness has been carried from another universe just to broaden our minds!! Absolute perfection!!! +Tarja's voice!
absolutely beautiful song and voice
Tolonen ja orkesteri ja Tarja Turunen olette aivan huippuja . Kiitos suomalaisten puolesta !!!
This is the first song I heard from Nightwish. I was searching for another song and downloaded it by mistake in one of those old mp3 sharing windows apps (Limewire? I don't remember). One of the best mistakes I've ever done.
my first was nemo on mtv since then i love that band so much .
you just blew my fucking mind, shit yeah.. i do remember limewire
Holy shit. Exactly the same story. Limewire on I believe my father's first Pentium computer, all those years ago. Realised it was wrong, but played it in the background... and here we are today.
I myself also found nightwish through pirated music and now I've probably given them 200+ dollars from all the merch I've bought from them. They earned it and then some. Great band.
What song were you searching for? Just curious?
Absolutely magical! Tarja Turunen has the most Unbelievably beautiful voice I've ever heard.
best version of this great song
i never get tired of listening to this song. she has an amazing voice
Tarja Turunen,niin mahtava ääni.Nightwish ei saa koskaan hänen veroistaan.
juu mahtava ääni ja nainen olis vieläkin laulamassa niillä ; ( ne albumit missä tarja ne vaan on niin hienosti tehty ja laulettu, marco kanssa hyvä laulamaan ja aina kunnon parta ja poseeraukset ja ilmeet : D

I love this song, and they perform it uniquely.
What a beautiful song.
Love this. Especially how it's ended. Beautiful and powerful.
They do this extremely well and beautifully in the live concert: "From Wishes to Eternity" 2000 live Tampere.
nice voice + nice music = extremly fantastic
Oh I LOVE this song... it will lat 4 EVER.. and ever - even with my grandchildren
OMG! Snowman! I can't believe Nightwish did this...it's beautiful... :')
I had no idea Nightwish did this song!!! oh my god!! I love it!!
+Michael Houston I've loved every version of this song I've heard. lol
Original singer was Peter Auty from St Paul cathedral singers. I think Aled was 1 st cover.
This was maybe what lifte them to world fame.
Something old, something new.
It was the closing track of their second album Oceanborn
Gyönyörű hang ,nagyszerű zenészekkel !
I knew this song when i was young and i forgot this when i came to Finland, but i singed it at school today and it came into my mind again :)
Amazing rendition. Her voice is soothing.
Walking in thé Air,,,That song makes me cry,,
Magnifique voix . Tarja est l'une des plus belles voix sur terre avec Eivor et Sharon den adel. Les 3 déesses .❤❤❤
I don't know who wrote the original but Nw clearly nailed it.. They literally made it THEIR song. Tarja's vocals are pure magic.. Lovely album as a whole, probably their best.
+MrDR7no Sadly she is no more in the band. That was worst decision ever, unless in my opinion.
She should join up with Disturbed and do a duet cover of Hurt.
Worst decision? Stop with this bullshit. Yes, Tarja was great and so was Anette.
Anette sings in one of my favorite Nighwish songs. They are different singer, that's it. They are both great. To many people doesn't like change and for that reason, they can't enjoy the final product.
+Sean RobinsonJR agreed! Some people don't seem to understand that different does not necessarily mean bad! Tarja and Anette's voice is very different but both are amazing in their own way

Tämä on hienointa musiikkia mitä olen ikinä kuunnelut. Sielu lepää ja nousee korkeuksiin.
You see, Celtic women (The group) have to whispy of voice, but Nightwish has the strong voice that just sends intense chills down my spine like a good ASMR video
Thanks for the help with the link. Tarja is and nightwish is a new discovery for me and i'm loving it.
Back to the days when I didn't struggle with depression...
Alhohol has coming to yoy?
hang in there, you're not alone...sending you hugs
Same
One of my favorite Nightwish songs, mainly because the original being a big part of my childhood
LOL In reply to some of you who seem to think the kid was Scottish (???!!!), Aled Jones is from the very tiny village of Llandegfan on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales and his accent is very real on it as he is also a Welsh speaker like myself. I know, I was in school with him!
***** Yep, and the later version does not appear in the film. It was just a single
Aled Kelly Well. Can't really blame them. Auty's trilled R's were very Scottish-esque.
What movie is that?
@@RangelGabriel The Snowman

Nightwish forever!
Such a simple solo, but yet one of the greatest ever IMHO
Perfect!!
+Rebeka Farkas Szerintem is kivallo feldolgozas. Tarja hangja tokeletes. De kivancsi lennek Floor hogyan enekelne'

Fantastyczne dźwięki, coś niesamowitego....
Howard Blake should be given credit. This is a COVER of Blake's piece for "The Snowman", a 1982 cartoon.
I start to cry everytime i listen to this.. probably bc it remains me of my little brother that commited suicide. Why do i even share this, thats just the way the cookie crumble. Its too beautiful
And its truly amazing, ive read through so many comments because there is no bad comments on this song wow
I'm drinking in my rooooom. I'm gonna get so druuunk, toniiiight
loser
Wiener!! xd
Mastermindest me currently listening to this
Holy shit... Doing the same thing 4 years later while listening to Nightwish.
Put the bottle down
I just love it...so much....my tears are falling....
I'm a 63 year old newcomer to this genre; so when my wife and I saw Nightwish in Pittsburgh last spring, it was without Tarja?
Yes. Tarja stopped being a part of Nightwish in 2005 or so. Then they had Anette on Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum, now they have Floor.
yes its sad that she is no more in the band
Elen Rojc u
she got a bit too big for her boots a few years ago, told the band she was too good for them. true or not its not the point
Tarja was replaced by annette olsen i think 9 years ago. And two albums later, annette was replaced by Floor Jansen, who is currently the singer
dude that singer has a beautiful voice it almost makes me want to cry thumbs up if u agree:)
Best song for me.
Tarja was best singer at Nightwish.
There will be no one else like her my man! lml
MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!
Fantastic cover.
Probably the best cover bar Aled Jones I've heard.
Merry Christmas :)
merry christmas :)
Finally,thanks for uploading this song so people can hear it!!Love Emmpu's guitar solo!
kiva, tätä piti laulaa tänään koulun musiikin tunnilla :)
"piti" tämähän on mestariteos :)
I like this version the best. Such a rich, powerful and unique voice.
Did you listen Kurt Nielsen version ??? In my opinion even better
i'm crazy about this version they sound terrific
Great band with the definative version of this song!
why searching for extraterrestial life we have finland. A bunch of earthlings cant make this masterpiece
+Tijl Trienen It sounds incredible right?! This is one of my favourite song covers by Nightwish. The other one being Phantom of the Opera.
+Tijl Trienen you overreact dude. if you wanna see some extraordinary shit, go to Bangkok. Masterpiece is hove that people menage to live.
And Sleeping Sun. I first heard that masterpiece when I was watching a short video about abandoned military Romanian aircraft. The song fit so perfectly. And then I discovered the Magic of Nightwish and Tarja. Had to find out who was it that was mesmerizing me. What a joyous surprise. I now have their whole catalog, including all three singers. Tarja is still my favorite, but Anette and Floor are also great.
Tijl Trienen its a british song from howard blake....
Yes...and they come from a small town of Kitee in the middle of deep evergreen forests.
Nightwish....simply brilliant...
This is from the snowman
This song was played at my cousins funeral. Means a lot, simply a masterpiece.
