Yeah Tarja is such a great singer. Right now she is on her Christmas Together tour in Europe where she sings classic christmas songs. I just listened on Ytube to her concert in a churh in Eindhoven, Holland. She is stunning.
I don’t understand a word of Finnish, however you don’t have to, just listen to the beautiful orchestration and wonderful singing by Tarja. I’m just a Nightwish fan, don’t care who’s singing, all have their abilities. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺
'Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan' means 'Death Makes an Artist'. Only once I got to see my dream I didn't feel the smallness under the stars Once I got bars to my cradle From there I'm writing a letter as a prisoner My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for In you, the beauty of the world From which the death made me an artist My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for Created my own heaven here Let me get away Created my own heaven here Let me get away note: I took this from a website, not my translation. "Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee" / "My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for" don't know about that but i'm not sure what would be the correct way to translate. From their book: --------- 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 ther. "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."
The Nightwish songs in Finnish language are very special. Both Marko as Tarja performed them beautifully. This performance from Tarja is absolute my favorite.
I found this gem so long ago and it still makes me cry at the first note. This is imho one of those songs that belong to tarja. Her tone is just perfect for this composition 💜 thank you for reacting
The first time I heard this song I was moved with such emotion and I had no clue what the lyrics were. Tuomas and Tarja created such magic, He with the composition and she with her voice and body language. Marko did the exact same thing to me with his solo song "Isani Aani"
Thanks 2nd Hand Souls, special thanks to Chrissy, for reacting to my suggestion. I'm glad you liked it. From what I wrote, else the composition and Tarja signing, what stunned me all the time I hear this song is the amount of emotion it can produce without understanding a word of it. Tarja was at her very best. And Tuomas show again how a great composer he is. From your first reaction, you always have my thumb up.
This song is on the fifth NW album "Once". In that album all the songs include that word ... this too...cause that "Kerran" means Once. Tuomas made that possible. This song goes into your heart and mind...the lyrics are awesome...there is English translation of the lyrics too. Check also the Lowlands live version too.
Never seen this footage, very beautiful❤️ and the tone of that cello gave instant chills! Happy to hear you get inspired by Tuomas, he touches all of our souls with his lyrics and compositions!
Thanks for your reaction & here's the English translation for the lyrics: "Only once I could see my dream Didn't feel the smallness under the stars Once I got bars in my cradle As a prisoner I write a letter from there My Lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks I am In you is the beauty of the world, of which death made me an artist My Lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks I am My own heaven I created here Let me get away My own heaven I created here Let me get away"
This was her last nightwish show this was the night she received the letter from the band.you guy's should watch the documentary the day before tomorrow
I really love Tarja’s voice. Unfortunately, after this performance Tarja was fired. Another great and emotional song is “Swanheart” from concert “From wishes to eternity”: ua-cam.com/video/R5H_x-00wmU/v-deo.html I also recommend “Ave Maria” with Tarja: ua-cam.com/video/X7MNiVrF4ik/v-deo.html Scorpions and Tarja: ua-cam.com/video/X7MNiVrF4ik/v-deo.html
OK, I was kidding about having to learn Finnish but now...beautiful language though. Looked at a translated version of the lyrics and darned if I can figure out what this song is about. Best I can make out the singer is asking to die (creepy). Stay safe, God Bless, keep rocking.
The lyrics are very cryptic even if you understand finnish, I guess it's poetry. If you take the lyrics literally they are just weird, like writing a letter inprisoned in one's cradle...ok😃 In the chorus there is some playing with the words which makes it difficult to translate. Word to word translation: "My lord to you let me come/become what my child thinks I am". So there are two sentences merged together (come and become are both "tulla" in finnish, and the word order of sentences is very flexible in finnish). The sentence "In you, the beauty of the world from which the death made me an artist" is just as weird in finnish.
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍🤘
Lovely reaction! One of my top 5 Nightwish songs with Tarja singing. Song is from the Once album. Song is in Finnish and just so beautiful. Makes me wish Nightwish had more songs in Finnish. One of their other Finnish songs that I love is Erämaan Viimeinen. They do an instrumental version of that song called Last of the Wilds during Floor's costume change at Wacken. Erämaan Viimeinen was done as a single with the vocals sung by Finnish female singer Jonsu of the band Indica. Her voice has a beautiful folky sound. Both versions are beautiful in their own way but I love the lyrical version and the Finnish language sounds so magical. Fan made video with lyrics in Finnish and English and beautiful visuals of the Finnish countryside. ua-cam.com/video/rA-XIXy5vw4/v-deo.html.
If you want to hear another Finnish song composed by Tuomas, have a listen to Timo Rautiainen's _Hiljaisen talven lapsi_ In English, child of the silent winter. A song based on The Little Match Girl fairytale Available on Spotify or below on UA-cam (which annoyingly has the first couple of seconds at the beginning and at the end missing) ua-cam.com/video/8JO6OXZBTrs/v-deo.html
Why don't you guys check out Marcos project from 1999 called Conquest? It was a cool band featuring also the original drummer of Stratovarius. The video is from a TV Show called Jyrki, which we had in Finland back in the time to introduce new talents. This was before the the time of reality TV... You know what happened afterwards with the Kardashians, Big Brother and so on... Anyway, heres a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/KqvbVdqFU1Y/v-deo.html
Now, after Marko and Tarja's presentation, you know how to pronounce the letter R in Finnish😂 like "Tarja, Marko and Tampere". As a small humorous tip about Finns: You may not notice when a Finn is angry other than that the letter R may be snarled quite forcefully...ua-cam.com/video/spr2EOe1f5Y/v-deo.html "karhu perkele🤣"
A beautiful song that makes Tarja really shine. He wouldn't have been a better fit for anyone else... sorry Floor,not even to you...Btw;the titel means 'Death makes an artist'.
Yeah Tarja is such a great singer. Right now she is on her Christmas Together tour in Europe where she sings classic christmas songs. I just listened on Ytube to her concert in a churh in Eindhoven, Holland. She is stunning.
Tarja shining! ✨

"kuolema tekee taiteilijan" is "death makes artist" (word to word) 😉
I concur.
Fnnish is a beautiful language...
Amen. That was beautiful. I think it might be my new favourite from Tarja...
Instrumentals broke my heart, absolutely gorgeous ...I didn't understand the language, but my heart broke when the cello's chimed-in.
TEARS and CHILLS !!!!!
THANKS for more TARJAWISH !!!!!
Been watching the divine TARJA'S current Christmas Music tour. INCREDIBLE !!!!!
Nightwish so blessed to have 2 of best singers in metal history, Tarja and Floor.
No doubt
you're 100% right
Anette has her moments, too. "Meadows of Heaven", the studio version, is a masterpiece, vocally, also.
@@runkkariruune all Nightwish singers great.
and marko...come on
'Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan' means 'Death Makes an Artist'.
Only once I got to see my dream
I didn't feel the smallness under the stars
Once I got bars to my cradle
From there I'm writing a letter as a prisoner
My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for
In you, the beauty of the world
From which the death made me an artist
My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for
My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for
Created my own heaven here
Let me get away
Created my own heaven here
Let me get away
note: I took this from a website, not my translation. "Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee" / "My God, to you let me (be)come what my child takes me for" don't know about that but i'm not sure what would be the correct way to translate.

The Nightwish songs in Finnish language are very special. Both Marko as Tarja performed them beautifully. This performance from Tarja is absolute my favorite.
One of the few Nightwish songs sung in Finnish. The title means 'Death Makes an Artist'
I found this gem so long ago and it still makes me cry at the first note. This is imho one of those songs that belong to tarja. Her tone is just perfect for this composition 💜 thank you for reacting
Wow old school look how young they all were love everything they do best band in world y'all keep rocking I had tears it was so beautiful
Hi again!Swanheart by Nightwish with Tarja...that is something beautiful!!!
Please, do that!love you and very Merry Christmas!!
The first time I heard this song I was moved with such emotion and I had no clue what the lyrics were. Tuomas and Tarja created such magic, He with the composition and she with her voice and body language.
Marko did the exact same thing to me with his solo song "Isani Aani"
yes you are right, specifically "isäni ääni", because in his own mother tongue he can interpret this song better
Thanks 2nd Hand Souls, special thanks to Chrissy, for reacting to my suggestion.

You pronounced the name of the song very well in Finnish 🤘😊👍
So sad and extremely beautiful song. Chills…
This was her last nightwish show this was the night she received the letter from the band.you guy's should watch the documentary the day before tomorrow
And if you do, please make a reaction about that too
The Finnish language is beautiful when there is a great singer behind it
Great, soulful reaction.
One of the very few Nightwish songs not in English. “Kuolema tekee taiteilijan" is Finnish and means "Death Makes an Artist" in English.
I think the word is...Spellbinding!
I really love Tarja’s voice. Unfortunately, after this performance Tarja was fired. Another great and emotional song is “Swanheart” from concert “From wishes to eternity”: ua-cam.com/video/R5H_x-00wmU/v-deo.html
