don't know, there are cover bands and other singers who can do that in a more relaxed and more impressive way than Tarja ... not the best song for her voice
Tarja tiene una voz muy hermosa y llena humanismo cuando canta lo hace con amor hacia la música su alma está llena de bondad y lo demuestra cantando . Que Dios la bendiga por ser un ángel
My mom passed away three days ago, at only 49. She absolutely fell in love with Nightwish and this particular track in the last few months of her life. Now i'll listen to it until my ears go numb. Farewell, mom.
May you find love, beauty, power in this song. Your comment made it more special for everyone who read it, certainly for me. Sending lots of love for you and wishing you the best.
Tarja era Nightwish for me still is the pinnacle of symphonic metal which has never been reached since (Epica came close but its just not the same). And I recently realized that ghost love score is my most favourite song of all time! It is literally beyond masterpiece status, perfect!
Although I agree that Tarja has a good voice, I like Floor's performances much more - her voice has more variations and ornamentations, and that fits this song better (to my opinion).
@@vyacheslav73you must be quite happy with the only Era Tarja song that Floor can sing decently because if you listen to Swanheart, The Siren, Passion Opera, Nemo, The Phantom of the Opera,Ever Dream, Sleeping sun, Slaying the Dreamer in Floor's version the enchantment is gone. Not even the perfect Floor Jansen can match the operatic vocals of the Metal Goddess.
@@micheledjubatie9212 I agree that Tarja has a better opera-style voice. But this is why I didn't like Nightwish and ignored the band in past - there was "too much opera" in their songs. Another point to consider is that Floor, in her earlier performances, tried to match and mimick the Tarja's voice - of course in this case Tarja wins :) Later they adapted songs to her voice and the newer versions sounds better to me. It's just a matter of preference, I guess :) Who prefers the operatic vocals would choose Tarja, who likes a powerful voice with lots of variations would choose Floor :)
I keep coming back to this video time and time again. It’s the perfect example of the song and I’m pretty sure that half of the 4 million views are mine!😉
Indeed - what does Tuomas have to do with it ... he just composed all the songs of Nightwish ... And yes, Nightwish without Tarja produces great albums, and Tarja is nothing without Nightwish.
I am surprised because nobody writes something about the drummer. Incredible performance,lot's of energy and excellent sound and sense of rythm .... looking forward to see you in Greece 🇬🇷 ... we love you guys
In the past, i've never give an opportunity to this song, and i dont even know why. But, this version, with Tarja's voice, it's really pure magic and passion🖤 Brings me to tears
Tarja's and Floor's versions of this song are like two responses to a tragic heartbreak. Tarja's version is like quietly weeping. While Floor's version is like loudly wailing. I'm currently in love with Tarja's version but I figured I could listen to each one of them depending on if I need a silent cry or an aggressive shout. And I find it amazing that way.
Can we just not fight over Tarja and Floor for a min and just marvel at how awesome Jukka Nevalainen is on the drums? All this talk about shes better, no shes better, they both deserve plaudits, they are both awesome in their own way. But mad props to Jukka for bringing it every time! Respect!
@@CaesarSalad978 I believe that floor is one of the greatest female vocalists EVER. She is a combination of all NW era's. She was made for what NW is now, no other. I wouldn't want Tarja back in NW today. BUT the early magical NW was Tarja and that's why we were all enchanted by that lineup at that point in history. I prefer tarja to sing certain songs to me.
Tarja was pure magic and still is. I saw her and Marco in São Paulo in April and the magic is still there, intact. I can’t say the same for the last 2 NW albums. I truly believe Tarja and Nightwish is a combination that can never be surpassed by anyone, ever. In a way, she was Nightwish’s muse.
@@Daslicey I love Nightwish dearly, but the last albums with Floor weren’t excepcional. I loved them with Tarja and with Anette, but Floor needs an album that matches her beautiful vocals. Tuomas still hasn’t produced that, so…
Tuomas had the exceptional Tarja and knew what to write for her. Same with Anette, didn’t appreciate her at first but now do (compared to floor). Floor’s a decent singer, but Tuomas doesn’t know what to write for her. Looks like floor is telling him write me songs that makes me look better than Anette and Tarja. Last album, CD 2&3 were the best. The instrumentals. With some OK songs.
@@TTTT-hh9lj Floor is a far better singer than Tarja or Anette, and live preformances of many old Nightwish songs prove that, as well as her work pre-Nightwish. However the albums with her are plain and boring. Back when they signed Anette her difference to Tarja forced them to be more creative about music, but with Floor I guess they are more comfortable and it is bad for creativity...
It may be almost 20 years since she was kicked out of nightwish, but she's still the true original Nightwish vocal. Floor is very good, but she ain't Tarja.
SIM! O Nightwish me encantou pela voz, carisma e a mística envolvendo Tarja! Somado seu talento a banda incrível, fiquei fã de imediato... Achei tudo perfeito ... Sincronizado... Que pena que tudo se perdeu.
@@kwikdahl She'll never be Tarja and for me that's a good thing. Each singer has her own special touch, her own voice and her own take on the songs. She won't be Tarja but she ain't trying to be Tarja, Floor is just Floor and that's why I love her on the band too
Sorry but the fact that Tarja moves, and hops, and dances and claps and her voice is immovable and at the same time so majestic and touching is only what talent can bring. She transfers you to this fantasy world that Tuomas meant to create when he was writing the song. People argue and people get replaced but some feelings are irreplaceable and no feud will change that.
The golden era of Nightwish. This setup. I was there. Haven't been on many gigs since then, just because no one else can never make me feel like they did back then. Tuomas was wrong when he afterwards said that "This isn't a religious or something.. It's just a common band and members tend to change." Something very big was broken later that day.
It's been seventeen years since she left and I still feel the loss. Sometimes I listen to later Nightwish, but the music is also different. I am glad that Tarja has her solo carrier, I listen to her songs quite often now, I really love her voice and personality. It was my mistake from the beginning to expect the same epicness from her as from Nightwish. I missed a lot of her concerts in Czech Republic. I didn't even realize how much I loved her for most of my life until I heard her voice again. I was shocked at how much she has improved and how many different projects she is embarking on. Her voice cuts my soul to pieces. This has never happened to me with anyone else, neither Floor nor Anette, whom I appreciate as singers. Tarja is my queen and favourite singer forever. Her era in Nightwish fundamentally defined my musical taste. And now Tarja just confirms it.
Tarja is one of the best. Floor Jansen is probably even better, technically speaking but Tarja was one of the first if not the first to put Opera to metal and that cannot be forgotten. Plus, she's just amazing.
Floor is better. Just being honest. I still have love for Tarja's contribution but she is LONG removed and the band is thriving without her and touring in places that TARJA refused to go to.
@@yuri2032 Floor nie śpiewa tak anielsko, a raczej wrzeszczy. Gdyby Tarja nie śpiewała w NW, pewnie uznał bym, że ma byż tak, jak z Floor. Ale niestety cała magia, to Tarja i NW. A Floor i NW jest tylko takie sobie. Jest czad, ale brak tej magii.
@@yuri2032 Floor Jansen fans are the worst people on the internet. You idiots are the youtube version of the Sonic fandom. And no, the "band" isn't thriving. There's literally only Tuomas left and they don't sound any different to any other generic rock band now. And Tarja didn't refuse to go anywhere. She didn't want to spend so much time in the west. She's more popular in eastern Europe and she knew that, Tuomas wanted to branch into a mainstream audience; which is where the money is at. Which is also hilarious given that he accused her of only caring about money.
I will never forget,until the day I die,how I felt the first time I heard Tarja sing.16 years later, listening to this song ... I feel the same. Tarja came out of the fairy tales of my dreams.
są ludzie którzy słuchają tylko Tarji i Floor, wcale nie słuchają Nightwish i nie wiedzą że Tuomas istnieje i komponuje muzykę w sposób genialny , to są głusi i ślepi ludzi
Tuomas may compose brilliant music, that’s not in question. Tarja brings it to life, leaves an impression, and makes it memorable. Just doesn’t feel that way with Floor. Did with Anette as her albums, like Tarja’s, were great.
I was thinking almost the same. He is an incredible drummer indeed. I just had sync this version and the Floor's version at Wacken and played both simultaneously. I thought I would need to sync again a couple of times cuz of some small differences on the pace. Simply didn't happened. He kept the the same absolute time signature in both all the way to the end! not a f'ing half second of difference
@@petrickoliveira1351 He uses a metronome in his year. When there is playback along woth the band, the drummer is the link. That's why there are no variations.
@@ev1ilfreak Yes, she was kind of being bitchy cause she was being spoilt by her argentinian boyfriend or something. The whole band agreed to fire here, I don't think Tuomas would just fire her by his own decision.
20 years ago, I first listened to Tarja's voice in "Passion and the Opera". It was just one more mp3 some random person sent me through IRC. Nightwish became my favourite band then, and although I think Floor is AMAZING, for me Tarja will forever be Nightwish's voice.
Tarja was what made this band stand out among many songs. I was listening on "Internet radio" for rock/metal, heard it. and wanted to hear that voice. again. I then started buying her albums, and still listen to her. As mainly a bass player, I also love the sound of the bass. Tarja's voice is what caught me.
It was exactly the same for me. Tuomas's lyrics and compositions were thought as "goofy" and "weird" when NW first started out. Tarja's voice is what was needed to give the Music and Lyrics credibility, until Tuomas's skills grew. There's no other Vocalist who could've done the same.
I keep coming back to this concert for the reasons that Tarja(in my opinion the only one) can create that operatic, gothic symphonic metal sound (and her attire..presentation) to an unparalleled level
@@rb-wtf5111 could we just stop whining over who's better? They are both amazing singers, Tarja had her moments, let's just appreciate the music, shall we? Smfh I'm not saying this to fight, I personally like Floor better too, but rlly,, I dont wanna pick one
@@rb-wtf5111 I love you.....One of the insufferable Floor trolls proving Floor preferers are micro not macro. After all, folks who don't like Floor still listen to Nightwish-Tarja and that is good for Nightwish in overall music streaming and clicks of the videos.
Amazing how Tarja's live version gets 24million views after leaving the band for more than decade already. I also love Floor's version, especially the ending she did was incredible and not something I usually hear in metal. But I also love ending part with Tarja because it sounds like the band and her are singing to each other.
@@kimberlyh.1090 Exactly that I was feeling from the very same moment. I love the original for that. Surely, i also like Floor's version, but even with the adjustments done and all, her voice is too bright and up for this song. Though, Floor's voice is comparable to a valkiria huh, i hope I'm not sounding like I'm being disrespectful to her or so. Just that, ghost love score is for a mature and deep voice like Tarja. Melancholic. Dark. I cry listening to Tarja's voice, not so with Floor's.
Kudos to Nightwish for still uploading songs with Tarja after so many years, so much integrity. Such different versions of 2 amazing singers. In love with them.
I am not going to get into Floor v. Tarja singing this song, but, to me, this is Nightwish's masterpiece. Of all of their very extended songs, this is by far my favorite - loved every bit of it.
Doesn't matter how many years pass each time i hear her sing feels like first time. Sleeping sun, nemo, end of all hope, wishmaster, phantom, bless this child... all perfect, night wish with tarja is rare example of me liking all their music, i cant name one bad song from 1997-2005
@@river85 Technically Tarja is commendable but Floor got awsome singing voice and control. Floor is exceptional for this song version esp second half of ghost love score and finishing part is mind blowing. They are legends and the world is so fortunate.
I wouldn't dare to compare Floor to Tarja, both are amazing and both performed this song with raw passion and power ... i feel blessed to have heard both versions, love them both.
This is EPIC no doubt, but Floor, 2012, Argentina. HOLY H3LL! The Floorgasm was created that day. A day that will go down in history. I have nothing but respect for Tarja, amazing voice, but Floor...WOW.
@@karlloeffler1755 So...quintessentially exactly what the OP said, verbatim, making your comment worthless. 1). "Floorgasm". Absolute cringe. 2). "A day that will go down in history." She is a vocalist. She did not change the World for the better; same as all the great Vocalists who came before. Curb your enthusiasm. I like Floor, but the "cult of personality" that surrounds her is vomit inducing at best, and of psychiatric concern at worst.
She’s the reason I loved this band so much! Tarja set the band apart from all of the others. I could listen to every song on their old albums and not get bored and be taken to another world. Not to mention the lady is GORGEOUS.
Ghost love score is the top, it is the best that humanity could ever hear after the masterpieces of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky! Bravo Tuomas, bravo Tarja, this kind of music is born once in a century!
Only??! Dude. Listen to this incredible composition and the energy of that drummer. You’re also missing out if you haven’t heard Floor Jansen sing this song too. I implore you to give this band more of a chance than just Tarja because you’re missing out on some heavenly stuff.
Only? What the hell, don`t you understand the whole band meaning to this music and this song? Tarja is just one part of this incredible awesomness! My deepest appreciation goes to Tuomas of course, without him we would never heared this absolutely sparkling gem, maybe the most beautiful song ever written.
Época de ouro do Nightwish...não menosprezando as outras vocalistas, mas a Tarja é de outro mundo, simplesmente perfeita, consegue levar o espectador para uma atmosfera sobrenatural.
Eu gostava muito da Anette Olzon, mas a Tarja é de outro mundo! Pena que as picuinhas internas levaram a demissão da cantora... Tem boatos tbm q o Tuommas era apaixonado por ela, quem perde são os fãs....
są ludzie którzy słuchają tylko Tarji i Floor, wcale nie słuchają Nightwish i nie wiedzą że Tuomas istnieje i komponuje muzykę w sposób genialny , to są głusi i ślepi ludzi
I've been going back and forth between this version and Floors, for about a week, and i have to say that each one has their own way of making this song unique and equally beautiful.
I wouldn't bother with any of these versions. The original studio version, with Tarja of course, trumps both live versions by a lot, including Tarja's own. Reaction videos of vocal experts on live performances by Floor are just doing an injustice to this song and people admiring any of the live performances are missing the best this operatic song has to offer. On the other hand I like Floor's live performance of "The greatest show on earth" more than the studio version, in conjunction with the videoclip. So there is no golden rule, generally studio versions tend to be better, but sometimes live performances are. In this case it's the studio version.
yes,I think that Tarjas ghostly vocals give this song a special touch :) but I like also Floors version, both are good. Tarja is singing this song in the way it was written, Floor made it her ownby freestyling in the end,its also Floors favorite song of Nightwish :)
This song is one of the reasons i fell in love with nightwish. but watching this now, after seeing what can be with Floor's 2013 wacken version, this just seems lazy and boring. i didn't think i would think that going in to check out Floor back in the day, but that my opinion now anyway.
@@benjibenning692 I actually just found out that many songs in "once" album have been written about Tarja, this song is talking about Tuomas s love for Tarja and how their relationship has changed especially " We used to swim in same moonlight waters" , "Child will be born again that Siren carried him to me", Tuomas is genius about writing soo beautiful lyrics that makes it even more special ,if you look their end of the era "Ever dream" video then in there Tuomas is literally crying on stage so I think that Ever Dream had also probably something to do with but sadly like someone said music and art is way more beautiful than real life also lyrics like "My fall will be for you, you are the one whocut me so I ll bleed forever" I think that Tuomas is the best writer when he is in pain
Lo que hizo Tarja en esta canción es magistral, y único. Inmortalizo este poema, que Tuomas compuso. Siempre dije que era un arcangel cantando. Gracias Tarja por existir.
następny zbocz, wy nie słuchacie muzyki tylko spekulujecie Nightwish to MUZYKA i Tuomas , Marco, Jukka, Emppu jeszcze dwu niesamowitych muzyków, a wy tylko tarja tarja tarja tarja , głusi zboczeńcy
@@FaithsFallen Complicated! There was no way Tarja could live anymore...he had to walk. It would have been difficult for them to be together with the soul of artist Tuomas. Tarja didn't want to live in that self-destructive world...
This is THE voice that made me fall in love with Nightwish. The magical fusion of Tuomas' incredible composition, and the magical operatic voice of Tarja is just beyond wonderful
born ready haha she really does. When I told her that I love her incredible solo music far more than anything she ever recorded with Nightwish (where she had no creative input), she blushed and gave me the dorkiest laugh and a big hug. Then she told me that she’s happier than she’s ever been. Truly a moment I’ll never forget.
Definitely. For years I only ever saw her in band photos, either frowning, or not looking very happy and figured she must be a diva with an attitude. Since then I've seen a couple of interviews and she comes across as such a lovely person. Funny how you can get such a wrong impression of people from photos.
For me this is a pinnacle of melodic heavy metal. The whole concert is perfect and really important for me. I wasnt there so this recording is important part of music history. But I must say its bitter sweet to watch and hear. I loved Tarja and with her I think they couldve gone even bigger but what I am to say because Im one sucker for nostalgia anyway. Anyway I am so greatful this exist. Thank you.
A song created by the gods, and Tarja's voice, no matter who sings it, that mixture of emotions that it provokes in me is impressive. I love this song. Nightwish for me will always be my favorite band.
Tarja`s scene presence was out of this world. Guitars shrieking, drums blasting full power all the time , synthesizers and back vocals screaming constantly at best of their abilities, and u have no problem hearing Tarja, because her voice alone overpowers everything and in such a gentle manner. It`s hard to comprehend actually how something can be so dominant and fragile at the same time. The voice of Valkyrie indeed.
To be fair... Saulius Nazarovas is not even close the the truth! If you've ever been lucky to witness her presence on stage and hear that VOICE live, you would know! God damn, son, she is one of a kind!
@@competiti22 This is not exactly how the band sounds live. That is a lot of sound retouching to bring vocals forward, so it is not possible to compare the two of them, since it's pretty clear recent Nightwish videos are much better edited. The band itself is much better nowadays and is far more experienced in lowering their instruments in key vocal segments, especially the guitar, as Nightwish melodies are often guided by the digital strings of the board and the drums. And third, I noticed that this piece was probably much later in the show than the one in Wacken that everybody is watching. Everybody in the band seems already pretty sweaty and tired here and it's clear Tarja is running out of breath. So, we might have to consider the timing of the piece as well. All in all, I love both singers. Minor note: I find Tarja to be A LOT cooler than Floor, though. Not as singer, both are spectacular, but visually (clothes and posture and such).
Thats something thats always amazed me about Tarja's singing...the way she can project and make herself heard, without having to really shout or scream.
@@phantomechelon3628 ... that is the essence of her extensive training as a chamber lyric soprano..the idea is to be able to have her voice rise above and yet blend seamlessly with the instrumental tones and key changes..according to her, this was the product of almost 6 months of intense preparation..but we all know that Tarja is a perfectionist..
We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I`ll bleed forever Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee Into the blue memory My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever Into the blue memory A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be The child will be born again That siren carried him to me First of them true loves Sitting on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love n` loss Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman`s noose Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I'll be there when you say Time to never hold our love My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever
Sadly not much left from the original band, except Tuomas and Emppu ... everyone else is out. Nightwish these days is a different band but not what they once were back then.
It is always the question of the era, in that you fell in love with a band. I discovered Nightwish around the year 2000, and of course it was the voice of Tarja, which made me fall in love with this band and absorbing every song of them. "Once" was to me such a perfect album, with so many many great songs, their best until today. All with Tarja. After she left, I wasn't so satisfied with Anette, so i lost focus on the band. I checked out the new stuff with Floor, of course she does a great job and seems to be the perfect singer for this band. No doubt. But if you ask me, what is in my heart and my mind, I would always answer: it is the era with Tarja. It is no question of singing style, of voice, of charisma or talent - it is just a question of the heart.
Ask me what from Nightwish is deeply saved in my memory, and the answer will always be the Nemo song with Tarja. Because in that ERA it was awesome, something special. Yes you could listen to that song on radio every day thats probably why but Tarja also has unique voice. Floor is great. Anette is listeneble, but Tarja... what can I say, I will allways remember the beginning :)
Bless The Child introduced me to the band very very late (2017?!) as I was song hopping on UA-cam. I’ve got to say, each singer has her strengths, song that one, two, or each can really bring to life, and others that belong to just one. As others have mentioned, each creates a different band, but all worthy of listening repeatedly…✌🏻❤️
@@noobdernoobder6707 I couldn't describe it much better... it is a kind of mystic atmosphere, the feeling of being part in a fairytale... NW lost this unique point with Tarja. It is still a great symphonic metal band today, no doubt! But it doesn't touch my heart anymore.
LYRICS: We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day My fall will be for you My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever Scent of the sea before waking afterwards Brings me to thee Into the blue memory My fall will be for you Into the blue memory A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be The Child will be born again That siren carried him to me First of them true lovers Singing on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love n' loss Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me the one behind will lead me Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman`s noose Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I'll be there when you say Time to never hold our love My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I'll bleed forever

Tarja The Legend
In the past, i've never give an opportunity to this song, and i dont even know why.
But, this version, with Tarja's voice, it's really pure magic and passion🖤
Brings me to tears
In 2024, I still love Nightwish. And this is absolutely the best in their whole history.
Tarja's and Floor's versions of this song are like two responses to a tragic heartbreak. Tarja's version is like quietly weeping. While Floor's version is like loudly wailing. I'm currently in love with Tarja's version but I figured I could listen to each one of them depending on if I need a silent cry or an aggressive shout. And I find it amazing that way.
They're both excellent!
Yeah! Me too! When I am gloomy, I'd go for Tarja's version. When angry or upset, Floor is the way.
Well said! Couldn't express it better :)
Floor´s Stimme ist gewöhnlich und langweilig, einfach nichts besonderes
Excellent analogy! I agree with you, a masterpiece no matter who or what.
This is not the "End of an Era" its the NERVER ENDING ERA, these songs are carved in our souls 4ever.
Sip, el mejor concierto de la historia para Nightwish
indeed
So beautiful said! I agree!
The classic nightwish formation made the best music ever! Tarja is the best, and always will be the best! Her epic voice is amazing
This song with Tarja's voice is so beautiful, it seems from heaven
Can we just not fight over Tarja and Floor for a min and just marvel at how awesome Jukka Nevalainen is on the drums? All this talk about shes better, no shes better, they both deserve plaudits, they are both awesome in their own way. But mad props to Jukka for bringing it every time! Respect!
Agunzi absolutely. Would love to see him play all the time. :)
Can we just marvel at every band members skills? :p
Thanks for this comment. Jukka is amazing!
Agree, Everytime i see them the drums are awesome.
He got me into drumming
The Voice of The Valkyria.
She is the very reason why we all fell for Nightwish in the first place.
This^
for me, i listened to a song or two from nightwish once in a while. but once floor came in the picture, i started listening more. for me it was floor.
@@CaesarSalad978 I believe that floor is one of the greatest female vocalists EVER. She is a combination of all NW era's. She was made for what NW is now, no other. I wouldn't want Tarja back in NW today. BUT the early magical NW was Tarja and that's why we were all enchanted by that lineup at that point in history. I prefer tarja to sing certain songs to me.
@@CaesarSalad978 Thanks for sharing your preference. I don't find Nightwish compelling after their first era with Tarja singing.
@@jjrusy7438 So, ok.,Floor is "one of the greatest female vocalist EVER" for you then. Have no idea why you are here.
Tarja was pure magic and still is. I saw her and Marco in São Paulo in April and the magic is still there, intact. I can’t say the same for the last 2 NW albums. I truly believe Tarja and Nightwish is a combination that can never be surpassed by anyone, ever. In a way, she was Nightwish’s muse.
You re just a Tarja fan and not a nw fan 😅
@@Daslicey I love Nightwish dearly, but the last albums with Floor weren’t excepcional. I loved them with Tarja and with Anette, but Floor needs an album that matches her beautiful vocals. Tuomas still hasn’t produced that, so…
Tuomas had the exceptional Tarja and knew what to write for her. Same with Anette, didn’t appreciate her at first but now do (compared to floor).
Floor’s a decent singer, but Tuomas doesn’t know what to write for her. Looks like floor is telling him write me songs that makes me look better than Anette and Tarja.
Last album, CD 2&3 were the best. The instrumentals. With some OK songs.
Never in the life tarja es el principio pasado y presente de nhigh whis nose si así se escribe att morales gomez
@@TTTT-hh9lj Floor is a far better singer than Tarja or Anette, and live preformances of many old Nightwish songs prove that, as well as her work pre-Nightwish. However the albums with her are plain and boring.
Back when they signed Anette her difference to Tarja forced them to be more creative about music, but with Floor I guess they are more comfortable and it is bad for creativity...
Tarja is the reason why I fell in love with Nightwish; she's still the true original Nightwish vocal.
She's a living legend, and her voice in conjunction with Tuomas's melodies made Nightwish an icon.
It may be almost 20 years since she was kicked out of nightwish, but she's still the true original Nightwish vocal. Floor is very good, but she ain't Tarja.
@@kwikdahl That's true, Floor is many levels above Tarja (which is great, no doubt!)
SIM! O Nightwish me encantou pela voz, carisma e a mística envolvendo Tarja!
Somado seu talento a banda incrível, fiquei fã de imediato... Achei tudo perfeito ... Sincronizado... Que pena que tudo se perdeu.
@@kwikdahl She'll never be Tarja and for me that's a good thing. Each singer has her own special touch, her own voice and her own take on the songs. She won't be Tarja but she ain't trying to be Tarja, Floor is just Floor and that's why I love her on the band too
This song is a perfect example that a guitar solo doesn’t have to have a million notes to be a great solo. Every note perfectly placed.

Great
A Happy 44th birthday to the queen of metal Tarja Turunen
Sorry but the fact that Tarja moves, and hops, and dances and claps and her voice is immovable and at the same time so majestic and touching is only what talent can bring. She transfers you to this fantasy world that Tuomas meant to create when he was writing the song. People argue and people get replaced but some feelings are irreplaceable and no feud will change that.
The golden era of Nightwish. This setup. I was there. Haven't been on many gigs since then, just because no one else can never make me feel like they did back then.
Tuomas was wrong when he afterwards said that "This isn't a religious or something.. It's just a common band and members tend to change." Something very big was broken later that day.
It's been seventeen years since she left and I still feel the loss. Sometimes I listen to later Nightwish, but the music is also different. I am glad that Tarja has her solo carrier, I listen to her songs quite often now, I really love her voice and personality. It was my mistake from the beginning to expect the same epicness from her as from Nightwish. I missed a lot of her concerts in Czech Republic. I didn't even realize how much I loved her for most of my life until I heard her voice again. I was shocked at how much she has improved and how many different projects she is embarking on. Her voice cuts my soul to pieces. This has never happened to me with anyone else, neither Floor nor Anette, whom I appreciate as singers.
Tarja is my queen and favourite singer forever. Her era in Nightwish fundamentally defined my musical taste. And now Tarja just confirms it.
Tarja is one of the best. Floor Jansen is probably even better, technically speaking but Tarja was one of the first if not the first to put Opera to metal and that cannot be forgotten.
Plus, she's just amazing.
Floor is better. Just being honest. I still have love for Tarja's contribution but she is LONG removed and the band is thriving without her and touring in places that TARJA refused to go to.
@@yuri2032 Floor nie śpiewa tak anielsko, a raczej wrzeszczy. Gdyby Tarja nie śpiewała w NW, pewnie uznał bym, że ma byż tak, jak z Floor. Ale niestety cała magia, to Tarja i NW. A Floor i NW jest tylko takie sobie. Jest czad, ale brak tej magii.
@@yuri2032 And where did Tarja refuse to go?
@@yuri2032 Floor Jansen fans are the worst people on the internet. You idiots are the youtube version of the Sonic fandom. And no, the "band" isn't thriving. There's literally only Tuomas left and they don't sound any different to any other generic rock band now.
And Tarja didn't refuse to go anywhere. She didn't want to spend so much time in the west. She's more popular in eastern Europe and she knew that, Tuomas wanted to branch into a mainstream audience; which is where the money is at. Which is also hilarious given that he accused her of only caring about money.
I will never forget,until the day I die,how I felt the first time I heard Tarja sing.16 years later, listening to this song ... I feel the same.
Tarja came out of the fairy tales of my dreams.
How did you feel that time? ✨🖤🤘🏻
@@lilianabernal430 I remember how I felt, but it is not easy to describe it in words. Something magical hit me very hard.
Agree. She can bring me to tears
są ludzie którzy słuchają tylko Tarji i Floor, wcale nie słuchają Nightwish i nie wiedzą że Tuomas istnieje i komponuje muzykę w sposób genialny , to są głusi i ślepi ludzi
Tuomas may compose brilliant music, that’s not in question.
Tarja brings it to life, leaves an impression, and makes it memorable. Just doesn’t feel that way with Floor. Did with Anette as her albums, like Tarja’s, were great.
They set the bar so high with this song, like really high, nothing has touched it since, absolute pinnacle Nightwish.
Tarja was incredible, her voice was so magic and have a special climate 🖤
Pardon?
Where is Lilith?
Jukka is a fantastic drummer. He brings so much excitement to this song. He is so talented with each time signature change.
The new drummer does the job, but doesn't apply the same delicacy as Jukka did.
I was thinking almost the same. He is an incredible drummer indeed. I just had sync this version and the Floor's version at Wacken and played both simultaneously. I thought I would need to sync again a couple of times cuz of some small differences on the pace. Simply didn't happened. He kept the the same absolute time signature in both all the way to the end! not a f'ing half second of difference
@@petrickoliveira1351 He uses a metronome in his year. When there is playback along woth the band, the drummer is the link. That's why there are no variations.
he carryies us all with him
@@amazonbass oh, got it. Thought he was a human-metronome lol
its such a sad story they fired Tarja directly following this performance! it was truly amazing.
I think she saw it coming, thats why she sang her heart out here. This is the TRUE version of this song.
@@nincsjonev no, the interviews confirm she didnt see it coming
@@nincsjonev "fired"? Was that really the case?
@@kt674 Toumas´ DVD talks about a lot of mounting issues with the band, Tarja hasnt even been traveling with the band during tours anymore.
@@ev1ilfreak Yes, she was kind of being bitchy cause she was being spoilt by her argentinian boyfriend or something. The whole band agreed to fire here, I don't think Tuomas would just fire her by his own decision.
What a difference! I want Tarja back! She is the king! She is just awesome!
20 years ago, I first listened to Tarja's voice in "Passion and the Opera". It was just one more mp3 some random person sent me through IRC. Nightwish became my favourite band then, and although I think Floor is AMAZING, for me Tarja will forever be Nightwish's voice.
Tarja was what made this band stand out among many songs. I was listening on "Internet radio" for rock/metal, heard it. and wanted to hear that voice. again. I then started buying her albums, and still listen to her. As mainly a bass player, I also love the sound of the bass. Tarja's voice is what caught me.
Es que su voz es un soplo de belleza.
It was exactly the same for me. Tuomas's lyrics and compositions were thought as "goofy" and "weird" when NW first started out. Tarja's voice is what was needed to give the Music and Lyrics credibility, until Tuomas's skills grew. There's no other Vocalist who could've done the same.
@@mariadiezmari6185 Indeed.
Тарья - гениальная рок- певица !!!! Самая лучшая ❤❤❤
I keep coming back to this concert for the reasons that Tarja(in my opinion the only one) can create that operatic, gothic symphonic metal sound (and her attire..presentation) to an unparalleled level
Agreed. Albeit Vibeke Stene would've been #2 behind Tarja, if Morten Veland's Tristania had written an entire song just for her to sing.
Look at this Queen. Belting her operatic genius into a matching red microphone. A true siren of the gods.
Impossible not to love her
Клёво поёт!
A beautiful comment from a beautiful woman.
They were so stupid to let her go, should beg her to join them back
Ron Reload Agree, I like Floor but Tarja was the spirit of an era of Nightwish that I loved and wished it was back
*There is no human language that could ever describe just how amazing this song is.*
Sooo... howl seven days till the wolves? Seemed to work that other time.
Amen.
Compare to Floor this is not good singing
@@rb-wtf5111 could we just stop whining over who's better? They are both amazing singers, Tarja had her moments, let's just appreciate the music, shall we? Smfh
I'm not saying this to fight, I personally like Floor better too, but rlly,, I dont wanna pick one
@@rb-wtf5111 I love you.....One of the insufferable Floor trolls proving Floor preferers are micro not macro. After all, folks who don't like Floor still listen to Nightwish-Tarja and that is good for Nightwish in overall music streaming and clicks of the videos.
Crazy that even after so many years, this is still one of my favourite songs
This song is an absolute masterpiece of music!
The production of this show is absolutely insane
One of the greatest rock performances of all time. Tarja was speaking in spiritual tongues that night. Eternal message!
Amen, bro.
lucky you
@@rusli21345 Wish I'd been there, and can only feel the presence through this DVD. Tarja and Nightwish must be very proud of what they once created.
Beautiful, indeed!
Tarja all the way!💪🤘✌️🤘
Amazing how Tarja's live version gets 24million views after leaving the band for more than decade already. I also love Floor's version, especially the ending she did was incredible and not something I usually hear in metal. But I also love ending part with Tarja because it sounds like the band and her are singing to each other.
This is by far my favorite Nightwish performance ever.
This masterpiece was written and thought for Tarja's powerful voice, that's why there cannot be any comparison
Tarja's voice is darker and melancholic, it simply suits the song better than a lighter and brighter voice.
@@kimberlyh.1090 Exactly that I was feeling from the very same moment. I love the original for that. Surely, i also like Floor's version, but even with the adjustments done and all, her voice is too bright and up for this song. Though, Floor's voice is comparable to a valkiria huh, i hope I'm not sounding like I'm being disrespectful to her or so. Just that, ghost love score is for a mature and deep voice like Tarja. Melancholic. Dark. I cry listening to Tarja's voice, not so with Floor's.
@@kimberlyh.1090 yeah i feel bad annette singing this song
Would love to see a colouration between Dimash and Nightwish. It will be epic and out of this world.
FLOOR
I'm not even that into metal but I've been in love with Nightwish and Tarja's voice for most of my life
A true Siren mystical magical hypnotic, what a voice and she looks like a Norse goddess with or without Nightwish she's outstanding.
I love Floor’s voice but this is the song as I remember it. Tarja’s sound is so hauntingly beautiful.
Of all the great singers Nightwish had, Tarja's voice fit the greatest with the operatic music and I loved every moment of it.
Kudos to Nightwish for still uploading songs with Tarja after so many years, so much integrity.
Such different versions of 2 amazing singers. In love with them.
YES!
Согласен
Не забывает старые добрые времена
Tarja y Floor son dos verdaderas Valquirias y tienen una personalidad majestuosa .
integrity? are you retarded? they humiliated her publicly !
perfect Tarja my favorite ♥️
This is the only version which will be original . How can anyone compete with this It's simply not possible
I like Floors version 2013 better
Millions of Wacken 2013 views ...
@@sperdnaxela Worth $$ to UA-camrs only.
There are songs that can only be sung by Tarja such as Ghost Love Score, Sleeping Sun, She Is My Sin, Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan.
23.5 mil views and it's totally deserved. For many years I come back here and listen to this masterpiece and the voice from outer world.
I am not going to get into Floor v. Tarja singing this song, but, to me, this is Nightwish's masterpiece. Of all of their very extended songs, this is by far my favorite - loved every bit of it.
Creek Mary’s Blood from this concert was just as good.
Tarja is the one and only. She is alien. She is insanely legendary singer. World you cant find one more Tarja in your lifetime I bet.
Doesn't matter how many years pass each time i hear her sing feels like first time.
Sleeping sun, nemo, end of all hope, wishmaster, phantom, bless this child... all perfect, night wish with tarja is rare example of me liking all their music, i cant name one bad song from 1997-2005
This is spiritual.
I wonder... Tuomas wrote this song. For us to hear. We are so lucky, both Tarja and Floor.
No, floor has got a better voice control. Don't u hear that tarja Is going often out of tune here? She's got a great voice but needs more technique
@@river85 Technically Tarja is commendable but Floor got awsome singing voice and control. Floor is exceptional for this song version esp second half of ghost love score and finishing part is mind blowing. They are legends and the world is so fortunate.
As a 70 year old chap I just recently discovered Nightwish love the music and both Tarja and Floor as lead singers to the band.
Despite anything and anyone- Tarja Turunen is a staple in the history of the genre and should be given her place. Respek.
I wouldn't dare to compare Floor to Tarja, both are amazing and both performed this song with raw passion and power ... i feel blessed to have heard both versions, love them both.
This has got to be one of the all time greatest songs and perfomances. Nightwish with Tarja at the peak.
I’d say that ghost loves scores with Floor live from Wacken festival top this one :D Especially the end where Floor completely aces it
@@Agrivandal No.
@@Agrivandalsorry, no
This is EPIC no doubt, but Floor, 2012, Argentina. HOLY H3LL! The Floorgasm was created that day. A day that will go down in history.
I have nothing but respect for Tarja, amazing voice, but Floor...WOW.
@@karlloeffler1755 So...quintessentially exactly what the OP said, verbatim, making your comment worthless.
1). "Floorgasm". Absolute cringe. 2). "A day that will go down in history." She is a vocalist. She did not change the World for the better; same as all the great Vocalists who came before. Curb your enthusiasm.
I like Floor, but the "cult of personality" that surrounds her is vomit inducing at best, and of psychiatric concern at worst.
Tarja fue, es y será siempre LA VOZ de Nightwish!!! Larga vida a la Reina!!!!
She’s the reason I loved this band so much! Tarja set the band apart from all of the others. I could listen to every song on their old albums and not get bored and be taken to another world. Not to mention the lady is GORGEOUS.
Nightwish is not the same band without Tarja! I love you,baby girl😘
No matter what anyone say about Nightwish or other singers , I love you Tarja and never forget you ❤️
I love your profile picture. The Silent Force is a great album.
she is still alive
Moin A yes😊👍
right an
i love you tarja
Ghost love score is the top, it is the best that humanity could ever hear after the masterpieces of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky! Bravo Tuomas, bravo Tarja, this kind of music is born once in a century!
2021 - I still listen to this band .... only because of Tarja's voice. I can't get enough of listening to her.
Oh boy! How I hope that you'll learn about Floor! She's better? No. She's different. The way she sings hits harder
I absolutely agree. Tarja is out of this world
Only??! Dude. Listen to this incredible composition and the energy of that drummer. You’re also missing out if you haven’t heard Floor Jansen sing this song too. I implore you to give this band more of a chance than just Tarja because you’re missing out on some heavenly stuff.
Only? What the hell, don`t you understand the whole band meaning to this music and this song? Tarja is just one part of this incredible awesomness! My deepest appreciation goes to Tuomas of course, without him we would never heared this absolutely sparkling gem, maybe the most beautiful song ever written.
Tarja is more sumphonic sound, Floor is pure magic and power. I dont choose one, they are just different
Época de ouro do Nightwish...não menosprezando as outras vocalistas, mas a Tarja é de outro mundo, simplesmente perfeita, consegue levar o espectador para uma atmosfera sobrenatural.
Tarja era a melhor... eu gostaria que ela ainda estivesse com o Nightwish
👍👍
@@Hillers62 né também acho a Tarja a melhor. Mesmo a Floor sendo muito boa.
Não se desculpe essa foi a melhor vocalista que nightwish já teve, com respeito a todas as outras vocalistas que vinheram depois dela
Eu gostava muito da Anette Olzon, mas a Tarja é de outro mundo! Pena que as picuinhas internas levaram a demissão da cantora... Tem boatos tbm q o Tuommas era apaixonado por ela, quem perde são os fãs....
Breathtaking voice! Tarja you are the best!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
są ludzie którzy słuchają tylko Tarji i Floor, wcale nie słuchają Nightwish i nie wiedzą że Tuomas istnieje i komponuje muzykę w sposób genialny , to są głusi i ślepi ludzi
The queen, beautiful, angel, sweet, her voice is pure magic... Tarja Turunen ❤
I've been going back and forth between this version and Floors, for about a week, and i have to say that each one has their own way of making this song unique and equally beautiful.
I wouldn't bother with any of these versions. The original studio version, with Tarja of course, trumps both live versions by a lot, including Tarja's own. Reaction videos of vocal experts on live performances by Floor are just doing an injustice to this song and people admiring any of the live performances are missing the best this operatic song has to offer.
On the other hand I like Floor's live performance of "The greatest show on earth" more than the studio version, in conjunction with the videoclip. So there is no golden rule, generally studio versions tend to be better, but sometimes live performances are. In this case it's the studio version.
Floor added it to it. Tarja is the better voice, Good?
yes,I think that Tarjas ghostly vocals give this song a special touch :) but I like also Floors version, both are good. Tarja is singing this song in the way it was written, Floor made it her ownby freestyling in the end,its also Floors favorite song of Nightwish :)
This song is one of the reasons i fell in love with nightwish. but watching this now, after seeing what can be with Floor's 2013 wacken version, this just seems lazy and boring. i didn't think i would think that going in to check out Floor back in the day, but that my opinion now anyway.
@@benjibenning692 I actually just found out that many songs in "once" album have been written about Tarja, this song is talking about Tuomas s love for Tarja and how their relationship has changed especially " We used to swim in same moonlight waters" , "Child will be born again that Siren carried him to me", Tuomas is genius about writing soo beautiful lyrics that makes it even more special ,if you look their end of the era "Ever dream" video then in there Tuomas is literally crying on stage so I think that Ever Dream had also probably something to do with but sadly like someone said music and art is way more beautiful than real life also lyrics like "My fall will be for you, you are the one whocut me so I ll bleed forever" I think that Tuomas is the best writer when he is in pain
Lo que hizo Tarja en esta canción es magistral, y único. Inmortalizo este poema, que Tuomas compuso. Siempre dije que era un arcangel cantando. Gracias Tarja por existir.
I am a full blown Floor Jansen fan, but Tarja's voice was just mystifying. What a beautiful performance
Saw Floor yesterday in London. Finished the concert with this song. Gave me goosebumps. But yes, Tarja is in a whole different level.
Tarja is the reason Nightwish blew up! Floor is no joke the lady is blowing it out of the park vocally!
@@noctusowl Didn't they finish the consert with the Greatest Show on Earth and Ad Astra, not with Ghost Love Score?
następny zbocz, wy nie słuchacie muzyki tylko spekulujecie Nightwish to MUZYKA i Tuomas , Marco, Jukka, Emppu jeszcze dwu niesamowitych muzyków, a wy tylko tarja tarja tarja tarja , głusi zboczeńcy
@@FaithsFallen Complicated! There was no way Tarja could live anymore...he had to walk. It would have been difficult for them to be together with the soul of artist Tuomas. Tarja didn't want to live in that self-destructive world...
Back when it was not the "too much show" and simply perfect ! Just pure bliss. I will cherish this memory forever ❤️
best team in the history of Nightwish in the best song!!!!
This is THE voice that made me fall in love with Nightwish. The magical fusion of Tuomas' incredible composition, and the magical operatic voice of Tarja is just beyond wonderful
Tarja on ja tulee aina olemaan paras.Ruotsin eukko ei pärjää tarjalle.olt rakas tarja. t. juanita kiteeltä
Tarja is the bomb. Saw an interview with her recently. She seemed down to earth and sweet. Her voice is totally amazing!!
known her for years..she is such a sweet soul and still blushes at a slightest compliment
I agree I love tarja Turunen
born ready haha she really does. When I told her that I love her incredible solo music far more than anything she ever recorded with Nightwish (where she had no creative input), she blushed and gave me the dorkiest laugh and a big hug. Then she told me that she’s happier than she’s ever been. Truly a moment I’ll never forget.
It amazes me how many musicians are really such humble characters. You'd think they'd naturally be drawn to the spotlight.
Definitely. For years I only ever saw her in band photos, either frowning, or not looking very happy and figured she must be a diva with an attitude.
Since then I've seen a couple of interviews and she comes across as such a lovely person. Funny how you can get such a wrong impression of people from photos.
Tarja's voice is akin to heavy artillery - what a voice!
For me this is a pinnacle of melodic heavy metal. The whole concert is perfect and really important for me. I wasnt there so this recording is important part of music history. But I must say its bitter sweet to watch and hear. I loved Tarja and with her I think they couldve gone even bigger but what I am to say because Im one sucker for nostalgia anyway. Anyway I am so greatful this exist. Thank you.
A song created by the gods, and Tarja's voice, no matter who sings it, that mixture of emotions that it provokes in me is impressive. I love this song. Nightwish for me will always be my favorite band.
La voz de Tarja se fusiona a la perfección con cada melodia de ésta canción 🔥❤️
Tarja`s scene presence was out of this world. Guitars shrieking, drums blasting full power all the time , synthesizers and back vocals screaming constantly at best of their abilities, and u have no problem hearing Tarja, because her voice alone overpowers everything and in such a gentle manner. It`s hard to comprehend actually how something can be so dominant and fragile at the same time. The voice of Valkyrie indeed.
To be fair... Saulius Nazarovas is not even close the the truth! If you've ever been lucky to witness her presence on stage and hear that VOICE live, you would know! God damn, son, she is one of a kind!
interesting you say that, in this vid i find her much harder to hear over the band than Floor. But both are great, different but great.
@@competiti22 This is not exactly how the band sounds live. That is a lot of sound retouching to bring vocals forward, so it is not possible to compare the two of them, since it's pretty clear recent Nightwish videos are much better edited.
The band itself is much better nowadays and is far more experienced in lowering their instruments in key vocal segments, especially the guitar, as Nightwish melodies are often guided by the digital strings of the board and the drums.
And third, I noticed that this piece was probably much later in the show than the one in Wacken that everybody is watching. Everybody in the band seems already pretty sweaty and tired here and it's clear Tarja is running out of breath. So, we might have to consider the timing of the piece as well.
All in all, I love both singers. Minor note: I find Tarja to be A LOT cooler than Floor, though. Not as singer, both are spectacular, but visually (clothes and posture and such).
Thats something thats always amazed me about Tarja's singing...the way she can project and make herself heard, without having to really shout or scream.
@@phantomechelon3628 ... that is the essence of her extensive training as a chamber lyric soprano..the idea is to be able to have her voice rise above and yet blend seamlessly with the instrumental tones and key changes..according to her, this was the product of almost 6 months of intense preparation..but we all know that Tarja is a perfectionist..
tarja es lo más grande que hay... y sobre todo del metal sinfónico... no me canso jamas
After so many years, never heard something more beautiful than this. Still my most precious song.
Wooooooooaaaahhhh! I love this song
@@EuGabrielpsi yo también la mejor época.
Their music is out of this world.
My favorite too
Their music never fade. Was in my secondary years when I heard this.
Tarja for ever!
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I`ll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Sitting on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n` loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman`s noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
Many thanks for lyrics
Thanks dude!
28 years later from their formation, and I'm just finding this band!
Like they were sent from the heavens for me....
Sadly not much left from the original band, except Tuomas and Emppu ... everyone else is out. Nightwish these days is a different band but not what they once were back then.
Voz y magia eso era Tarja, emociona escucharla y verla cantar 🔥❤️
Tarja e o Nightwish juntos são perfeitos.
Impressionante a voz da Tarja .... Linda demais
Такую музыку и такой вокал могут делать исключительно гениальные люди! 🤘🔥🇧🇾
It is always the question of the era, in that you fell in love with a band. I discovered Nightwish around the year 2000, and of course it was the voice of Tarja, which made me fall in love with this band and absorbing every song of them. "Once" was to me such a perfect album, with so many many great songs, their best until today. All with Tarja. After she left, I wasn't so satisfied with Anette, so i lost focus on the band. I checked out the new stuff with Floor, of course she does a great job and seems to be the perfect singer for this band. No doubt. But if you ask me, what is in my heart and my mind, I would always answer: it is the era with Tarja. It is no question of singing style, of voice, of charisma or talent - it is just a question of the heart.
Ask me what from Nightwish is deeply saved in my memory, and the answer will always be the Nemo song with Tarja. Because in that ERA it was awesome, something special. Yes you could listen to that song on radio every day thats probably why but Tarja also has unique voice. Floor is great. Anette is listeneble, but Tarja... what can I say, I will allways remember the beginning :)
I couldn agree more
Bless The Child introduced me to the band very very late (2017?!) as I was song hopping on UA-cam. I’ve got to say, each singer has her strengths, song that one, two, or each can really bring to life, and others that belong to just one. As others have mentioned, each creates a different band, but all worthy of listening repeatedly…✌🏻❤️
@@noobdernoobder6707 I couldn't describe it much better... it is a kind of mystic atmosphere, the feeling of being part in a fairytale... NW lost this unique point with Tarja. It is still a great symphonic metal band today, no doubt! But it doesn't touch my heart anymore.
LYRICS:
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before waking afterwards
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true lovers
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n' loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
the one behind will lead me
Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman`s noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
thanksss
Thanks for the lyrics
Oh ,i love Tarja voice it's sounds so professional! She is like queen on stage❤️❤️❤️
I wish that one day I could hear and see Tarja, Floor and Marko all three together with Tuomas and the rest of the Nightwish crew making such a performance of their best songs. Oh...
Epic! No one can sing this song like Tarja did on this show. Not only the angelic vocals but also the powerful rendition of every one on the stage.
Floor Jansen: Hold my beer
floor jansen left the conversation
@@janstrelka5094 Floor Jansen screaming at the end of the song like a dying goat
ricardo evangelista Like this? No. More beautiful, technically superior and pure emotional? Yes. Just listen to Floor at Wacken 2013. It is like a different song straight from heaven.
@@janstrelka5094 Wacken 2013 doesn't have the emotional intensity of this. And why are you here?
This is something that we'll never see again! Thanks Tarja for this epics moments.
Forever a classic from the golden era of Nightwish. Love you Tarja Turunen
I was watching nightwish 2022 live version and it gave me the wish to watch Tarja singing the song...
Such another level ❤
