Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan means Death Makes an Artist. From their book, timeline 2003-04: --------- Tuomas: "I decided to make it a ballad with an orchestra, but without drums or guitars. I had doubts about it until the very end, and just in case, I had also written the lyrics in English. But in the end, it did add an exotic touch to the album, and it's a sort of a tribute to our Finnish fans who have been with us from the start. It's also a beautiful song, with the cello solo that I still think is highlight of the whole album. You can practically feel the weight of past centuries. The solo was played with a genuine 17th century baroque Stradivarius, and I've heard that the instrument is worth at least two million pounds". Tarja later revealed that the song has a special meaning for her. "It's been wonderful to see how people all around the world quiet down to listen to it and light up their lighters. And even though there's nothing special happening on-stage - there's just me, singing alone - the song always manages to create this incredibly beautiful atmosphere. I get to sing in Finnish, and as we're like musical ambassadors of Finland in a way, I think the song is very important. I've done classical concerts abroad, and after singing something in Finnish, people have often told me that they think our language is very beautiful. So it's very important to me, and I think it's good to keep in mind where we come from."
This is one of those songs that transcends language!!! You simply get drawn into the music and Tarja's amazing vocals, her face and body language all tell the story. This for me is one of my favorite NW songs. All I know is the title "Death makes an artist" and I am content with that.
This was really good, there is just something about her voice that grabs your attention! Not normally my genre but i loved this, thank you as always for the video and commentary
The fans had no idea of this at the time, though. No one knew except the rest of the band, though I have heard/read people who attended the show as describing it feeling like there was a different aura/atmosphere around the show, presumably because of that. Hard to say whether that's a confirmation bias type of thing though
Next maybe? Battle Beast by Noora Louhimo. Wings of Darknes official video. Steven Seagulls & Noora Piece of My Heart official video from Finland. Noora is amazing singer !!!

The fans were really sad because this was Tarja's last concert with Nightwish.
