    Video taken from Nightwish Showtime-Storytime Bluray (resampled to 25 fps) and audio from DVD. End part is taken from album. I think I was the one who first started to do this extended version (not my idea thou), but someone was quicker, and I abandoned the idea. But now, after Ann passed away, I listened one of those extended versions, and it had pretty horrible audio at the end part, so I decided to do it better. So, I'm sorry if this hurts someone's feelings, but I hope some can enjoy this one too.

      Thank you so much for this, Nightwish Arena. Ann Wychoff will be missed by so many of us. Especially those of us who are newbies to Nightwish. She taught us so much about the band's history and members! R.I.P. dear Ann💖 We miss you terribly....😥

      Sadly, I never got to converse with Ann. It was something I deeply wish I could have done but at the time of her passing I had never listened to Nightwish. Now, Nightwish are by far my favourite band. Their catalogue is the most beautiful perpetual work of art that has ever graced this planet. It´s a privilege to be alive at the same time. Forever grateful :)

    The god I just found this version with the poem. Wonderful gift. Reminds me of the poem at the end of Nights In White Satin (Moody Blues)
    Breathe deep the gathering gloom
    Watch lights fade from every room
    Bedsitter people look back and lament
    Another day's useless energy spent
    Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
    Lonely man cries for love and has none
    New mother picks up and suckles her son
    Senior citizens wish they were young
    Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
    Removes the colors from our sight
    Red is gray and yellow white
    But we decide which is right
    And which is an illusion

    The nightingale is still locked in the cage
    The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
    An old oak sheltering me from the blue
    Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves
    A catnap in the ghost town of my heart
    She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts
    Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride
    Raving harlequins, gigantic toys
    A song of me a song in need
    Of a courageous symphony
    A verse of me a verse in need
    Of a pure-heart singing me to peace
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
    All that great heart lying still
    In silent suffering
    Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
    What is left for encore
    Is the same old Dead Boy's song
    Sung in silence
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
    A midnight flight into Covington Woods
    A princess and a panther by my side
    These are Territories I live for
    I'd still give my everything to love you more
    A song of me a song in need
    Of a courageous symphony
    A verse of me a verse in need
    Of a pure-heart singing me to peace
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
    All that great heart lying still
    In silent suffering
    Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
    What is left for encore
    Is the same old Dead Boy's song
    Sung in silence
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
    A silent symphony
    A hollow opus one, two, three
    Sometimes the sky is piano black
    Piano black over cleansing waters
    Resting pipes, verse of bore
    Rusting keys without a door
    Sometimes the within is piano black
    Piano black over cleansing waters
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
    I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street
    With a begging bowl in his shaking hand
    Trying to smile but hurting infinitely
    Nobody notices
    I do, but walk by
    An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic
    It's half-light and he's in tears
    When he finally comes his eyes are cascading
    I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley
    He tries to bite me
    All pride has left his wild drooling eyes
    I wish I had my leg to spare
    A mother visits her son,
    Smiles to him through the bars
    She's never loved him more
    An obese girl enters an elevator with me
    All dressed up fancy
    A green butterfly on her neck
    Terribly sweet perfume deafens me
    She's going to dinner alone
    That makes her even more beautiful
    I see a model's face on a brick wall
    A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill
    A city that worships flesh
    The first thing I ever heard
    Was a wandering man telling his story
    It was you, the grass under my bare feet
    The campfire in the dead of the night
    The heavenly black of sky and sea
    It was us
    Roaming the rainy roads
    Combing the gilded beaches
    Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
    Bathing in places no-one's seen before
    Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
    Clad in nothing but the surf
    Beauty's finest robe
    Beyond all mortality we are
    Swinging in the breath of nature
    In early air of the dawn of life
    A sight to silence the heavens
    I want to travel where life travels
    Following its permanent lead
    Where the air tastes like snow music
    Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
    I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
    I would bathe in a world of sensation
    Love, Goodness, and Simplicity
    (While violated and imprisoned by technology)
    The thought of my family's graves was the only moment
    I used to experience true love
    That love remains infinite
    As I'll never be the man my father is
    How can you "just be yourself"
    When you don't know who you are?
    Stop saying "I know how you feel"
    How could anyone know how another feels?
    Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer?
    I am, you are, all of them already
    Dear child, stop working, go play
    Forget every rule
    There's no fear in a dream
    "Is there a village inside this snowflake?"
    A child asked me
    "What's the color of our lullaby?"
    I've never been so close to truth as then
    I touched its silver lining
    Death is the winner in any war
    Nothing noble in dying for your religion
    For your country
    For ideology, for faith
    For another man, yes
    Paper is dead without words
    Ink idle without a poem
    All the world dead without stories
    Without love and disarming beauty
    Careless realism costs souls
    Ever seen the Lord smile?
    All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
    Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
    Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
    All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
    I see all those empty cradles and wonder
    If man will ever change
    I, too, wish to be a decent manboy
    But all I am
    Is smoke and mirrors
    Still given everything, may I be deserving
    And there forever remains

    We can always comment on what amazing voices and music this band has and what versatility Floor has in her voice but can I take a moment to talk about all her facial expressions she makes while performing? She is having such a great time there! And throws in silly/playful expressions once in a while and I love that! It shows she is having the time of he rlife and is completely in her comfort zone!

  • @davidcoyne7291
    @davidcoyne7291 3 роки тому +13

    Lyrically and musically one of the bands greatest achievements but what is it about?
    I looked long and hard at this song at this is what i think is going on.
    First you have to understand that the Imaginaerum album is a story and this is its last chapter.
    The story is of a man on his death bed reminiscing over his life. To add to the layers of meaning the old man is Tuomas (Composer/Keys)as he imagines himself moments before he takes his last breath.
    The song is actually two songs in one. It is however split into 4 parts.
    Part 4 'Love' is a song to itself and the easiest to deconstruct and then we work backwards.
    It is based on the Walt Wittman poem of the same name but as far as i can tell all of the thoughts are unique to Tuomas. It borrows the style rather than the substance of the Wittman piece.
    It is in essence the summation of the old mans life. The things that really matter. The moments worth pondering as he is taken 'on an Angel wing' to the next world.
    Parts 1,2 and 3 (the opus 123 in the lyrics) are two themes entwined in one. This is the song about writing the song.
    The main theme is Tuomas struggle to write a fitting end to the journey. Last ride of the day was the end of the journey and this last song is the 'encore' as all shows need an encore.
    The second theme is of the old man awaiting his death as perhaps foreshadowed in the song 'Turn loose the Mermaids' which was about Tuomas Grandfathers death.
    Part 1 From a dusty book shelf
    The ' dusty book shelf' (part 1) are the discarded or redundant ideas of the 'same old dead boys song'. A new adventure awaits (death) and something more substantial needs to be said to prepare for the journey and say a fitting good by to the past.
    Part 2 All that great heart.
    The 'Nightingale' is the song itself and the song is trapped within the 'cage' of his imagination or lack of imagination. The Nightingale is also a 'She' (second verse) which may reference the singer that awaits his words (Anette).
    Part 3 Piano black.
    Musically the tone of this part is doom laden as are the lyrics. Sometimes the sky is piano black in contrast to the 'Blue' sky in the first verse where he sat under an 'old oak' trying to write the song.
    While the end is near and the old man lays 'slowly dying' the inspiration to finish the song just will not come. Resting pipes (Musical reference), verse of bore (lyrical reference), rusting keys (Musical keys) without a door (Voice, lyrical reference)
    ... and then it comes part 4 'Love' and we get some of the most haunting pieces Tuomas has ever written.

    Floor has an amazing beautiful voice but she gives me nothing 😢 can’t bring me to like her

      That is unfortunate. Everyone has different taste, wheter it is food, drink, art, music, women, men, and that is wonderful thing, because that is why we have bands like Nightwish, who wanted to separate from masses. As long as there is respect to each other, there is nothing wrong to like someone more than other. I didn't like Anette with NW, but I have grown to like her more, and I still think she is a great singer. Contrast was just too big for me after Tarja.

      So why feel the need to comment on a performance which highlights Floor? Typical comment from one of the trolls. Go and listen to who you prefer 🙄. I can’t abide Tarja at all so I avoid any performance which has her in it. Shame her fanboys don’t do the same

      @@Mind-your-own-beeswax bold of you to assume my favourite is Tarja. I’m not insulting her nor saying anything wrong about her. Just that as amazing her voice is, I don’t like her. I’m not even comparing her 🤣 go start a fight somewhere else.
