For the Heart I Once Had by Nightwish - Lyrics

[Epikossumnis]

OMG people Nightwish is Tuomas and Tuomas alone. He writes and composes the songs and all of them bleed from his very heart. Tarja and Anette may have beautiful voices, but those voices are only the mediums of the sound of Tuomas's very soul.

Get. Over. Your. Selves.

[JumbaFan]

I think I just found a song that could be my anthem!

[GmodCaboose56]

I also love the synthesizer during the soft parts.

[GmodCaboose56]

Sounds like something you would hear at the end of a movie.

[maneprod]

the music is beautiful, but the story is too sad...

[notoriousbig3k]

i don't like this song :(( can i put dislike on it???

[GormathiusFilms]

A band singing my story... goody.

[Girlwholovesherelves]

14 people never had a heart to start with *sticks tongue out mockingly*

[kiks740]

@Girlwholovesherelves o.O

[metalk1tt3n]

@Girlwholovesherelves +1 for a well aimed bitchy comment :)

[xDMucha]

That and Amaranth are my best! Nightwish 4EVER! :*

[kiks740]

pinky

[theaveragekidsTAK]

she has a very beautiful voice, i love it.

[theaveragekidsTAK]

she has a very beautiful voice, i love it.

[Octvaerum]

mmm.... ok, i have to say that this is SO pinky :S

[keimi23]

Someone know if this song has a video clip??? ... I've looked for but I couldn't find it

[kiteenlahti]

@keimi23 no it doesnt

[KuroToraWolf]

How ironic this song fits me.I always loved nightwish. I have both albumbs!

[musicmaker2]

@KuroToraWolf Both? they have like 10 albums.

[danielmetalsp]

It's my fourth night in which I attached to this song, many times and infinite

[wor575]

Annette sound like she's in her 20s!!!

[StarlightDragon99]

One of my favorite songs.. Annette, your awesome!

[TheLexi274]

This song reminds me of christmas ^^ its perfect for this time of the year and acctually any other as well ^^

[The7thsonof7thson]

I like this song more as an instrumental... I love Anette's voice, but I don't like the melody.

[mark35098]

the best of the best:o)

[Metalhead121591]

Grow older and lose our innocence... it's what we're programed to do. :'(

[mark35098]

nightwish#1

[reveprofond]

I love this song *-------------*

[PrinceOfFreedon]

: ) <3

[Laury808]

Tarja had a very opera voice I prefer Anette but both singers have real talent

[xCynthiiaax]

It took me a loooong time before being able to listen to this song without crying... But I love it :)

[Thief273]

8 people have no heart

[symphony929]

@Bellowxx Hahahahahaha, no they are not. Were the hell do you live?

[FullOfDarkness1]

That is the most epic song:x

[Elvenpath91]

iv been a nightwish fan 4 years and im sick of the anette and tarja argument they are both epic vocalists and i like it when bands change singers it gives the band a chance 2 try something new in a sense so stop arguing about tarja being better than anette cos shes not they are both brilliant so stop arguing please just hate pop music or ur neighbour instead

[steven25969]

i love this song it changed my life big time i love ur music Tarja

[radclyffe559]

@steven25969 that's not tarja

[mikewill9511]

@TasteForDisaster Really? My parents LOVE this! Good music is good music. Point of the situation. :) Of course, good music with bad lyrics is another thing. But Nightwish isn't satanic like most metal bands. Actually, I don't think that by only having heavy guitars, drums and bass make something diabolical. They are INSTRUMENTS PEOPLE! -_-

[ReteidL]

@mikewill9511 What? Most metal bands are satanic? On what planet did that happen? Only a small percentage of metal bands really describe themselves as "satanic".. just lol

[mikewill9511]

@ReteidL Well, if you search for bands like Therion, which have amazing sound (better than Nightwish) they are pagan and occultists. I am talking about the symphonic metal genre only.

[renataravensong]

@mikewill9511 Pagans are not occultists, lackwit. That's like saying Christians are all Mormon. I've listened to Therion. Their songs tell epic stories, there's nothing in there about paganism or occultism. Get your head out of the sand.

[Metalhead121591]

@mikewill9511 Whoa, time out. I'm a pagan, and I can tell you we have NOTHING to do with satanists. That's Crusade-era propaganda....

[carlostololo]

@Metalhead121591 GOOD FOR YOU...BUT I DON´T CARE WHAT SHIT YOU ARE.. SO CLOSE YOUR FUCKING CHANNEL AND PUT YOUR KEYBOARD IN YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLE BEFORE WRITE THINKS SO STUPID

YOUR CATOLIC? I DONT CARE

YOUR SATANIC? I DONT CARE

YOUR PAGAND? I DONT CARE

MAKE US A FAVOR PLEASE CLOSE YOUR CHANNEL OF CRAP

[Metalhead121591]

@carlostololo LOL. U so mad. :D

[IriathZhul]

@carlostololo Catolic and Pagand... Sounds like alien races. Did you copyright those or can I use them in my semantic maps?

[carlostololo]

@IriathZhul you can do wherever you want... am little crazy and always speak strange thinks....

[IriathZhul]

@Metalhead121591 I think most Satanists are just fluffy moral relativists palling around in their little club anyways. Like Bonesmen.

[02Zala17Zala95]

@ReteidL

Amm, do you know that pagans are NOT satanic. There are a lot of different pagan believes an just some of them are "bad" but most of them are good and peacefull and nature orientated...

I can't believe how stupid and narow minded some people are...

[ReteidL]

@02Zala17Zala95 Reply to the right person when saying stuff like that please :D! I was the one who questioned what u just said in the first place :p

[02Zala17Zala95]

@ReteidL

Ups. I am so very sorry. And as you said, I should reply to the right person... I made a mistake. Sorry! :)

[ReteidL]

@02Zala17Zala95 It's ok, I forgive you ^^ xD

[aronvirginas]

@mikewill9511 "Nightwish isn't satanic like most metal bands" <-- In fact very few metal bands are satanic, if any. Some metal bands have clearly atheistic, or anti-religion lyrics, but hardly any band has an openly satanic message. Look it up.

[VampyreBytch]

I love this song<3 I sang it one time for a show.

[EmoNekoChan]

You can't really compare Tarja and Anette because they have different styles of singing... they're both good.

[knpvcro]

For me, Anette has much better voice than Tarja, I always think Nighwish could be better with anette from the beggining...

[guitarnbassman96]

how can someone be a hater of annette, i just don't understand how that is possible, nor does it make any sense

[wai881114]

my favourite song by anette

[worldstrider]

Another really great song by Anette.

[SoberLilith]

Annette's voice soothes me,while Tarja's was quite strong for the long sleepless nights... I don't compare them or anything, they both are really good... but this album, Dark Passion Play, holds the true soul of Nightwish, from my point of view... :)

[Paragon468]

@SoberLilith Haha strange, it's the other way around for me :P

[escapistNW]

for the heart i'll never have! :(

[SanguinisDomina]

i prefer Nightwish with Tarja

[ThoraxTheAvnger]

@SanguinisDomina I prefer Nightwish :D

[resnated]

its still a good song and her voice fits it...but i agree with u

[Valtiel1000]

Anette is amazing!

[ZelgadisGW]

Beautiful song.

[Corrosive1]

The beginning sounds like HIM, oh god. I was excepting Ville Valo to sing

[bonestorm99]

@Corrosive1 Agreed. This album reminded me of so many different artists, that why I loved it.

[Corrosive1]

@bonestorm99 yes, the album is very good. Can't wait for Imaginaerum

[reddhalia1]

For the heart i'll never have again.

[sifsclubber]

and the way she said "weight of the world." of

[sifsclubber]

I just love that, especially the intro. The way there's the guitar, then it softens up and her voice comes in so soft.

[RagingQuietFury]

Anette is brilliant in this song. So much raw emotion comes through her voice. Superb!! Lovely song. One of my favourites from the DPP album.

[michi7l]

luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv the finnish accent :P

[Praxis678]

@michi7l Weird seeing as Anette is Swedish :P

[ThornForEveryHeart]

This song is- in a way -like myself, but of course........... LOVE THIS SONG! XD

[maor25193]

One of the best Nightwish's song

[Voodotipe]

3 people are stupid

[PrinceOfDarkness111]

@Voodotipe And one person is arrogant. Can you guess who it is?

[stonedflame]

Guitar reminds me of a HIM song

[Daudiu]

@stonedflame lolz which one?

[Thief273]

1 doesn't have heart.

[MeanMiniMice]

''Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars'' Is this a reference to something? 'Cause The Escapist, another song of NW, mentions the Dead Boy too: '' Who's there, knocking at my window? The owl and the Dead Boy'' and so on. Caught my attention :D Anyway, great song, perfect for Anette. I'm glad Anette vs Tarja war hasn't spread here, too... It's just silly, they're both equally good in their own ways :D

[Martijnhaah]

@MeanMiniMice I can't come out either, but maybe you can come out with my information ^^

Tuomas ALWAYS makes songs about how he is feeling and how he sees the world.

If Tuomas writes songs about suicide, the band would be shocked, because he thinks about it then. (just an example)

[MeanMiniMice]

@Martijnhaah That is a trait that makes the best kind of songwriters, and Tuomas really is a good example. But still, it's a mystery, really. lucymalak90's idea of losing innocence is really the best theory I've heard. And excluding my own theories, the only one I've heard :D But if he writes about his feelings and thoughts, well... Either it's a metaphor or he REALLY has a thing for dead boys. o.O I'd go with the former one, he's too cool to be a pedonecrophile ^^

[Martijnhaah]

@MeanMiniMice wow yeah, his theory could be damn right!

@lucymalak90 guess you know where you are talking about ^^

[lucymalak90]

@MeanMiniMice I think he talks about the innocence in people, because when you grow up you progressively lose your innocence, and nowadays the children are raised in a different way, now innocence has a different meaning.

And I think he longs for his childhood,

and even I personally think a lot about the meaning of childhood =)

Sorry if my english is bad but it's not my mother tongue I hope you can understand me.

[MeanMiniMice]

@lucymalak90 You just might be right. I was just wondering if there was something behind it, y'know? Anyway, thanks for reply, nice thinking there. And your english is actually quite fluent, I couldn't find any mistakes at all. Guess some might've escaped my eyes, but I don't bother go looking for them. I'm not a native english speaker, either, but I have some sort of natural talent (can it be inherited :D). Don't you worry, your english is perfectly understandable and that's all that matters ^^

[RagingQuietFury]

@lucymalak90 A very good reply and you are right. Your english is great.

[Jarssoni]

I think this is the only Nightwish song that Anette's voice suits better than Tarja's. But I really would like Tarja to sing this sometime...

[FoxofSilverBullet]

my mom was hooked on this band and she litaraly tied me to a chair and made me listan to this song and now i like Nightwish XD

[TasteForDisaster]

@FoxofSilverBullet that's weird but cool, your mom must be pretty young to like this music :P my parents only like jazz and 80s disco T.T but at least they don't complain about my rock n' roll :)

[FoxofSilverBullet]

@TasteForDisaster well if u looked at my channel and my age said 35 im actualy 13 and my mom is 36. my brother made the channel im using and he used a fake age.

[TasteForDisaster]

@FoxofSilverBullet i didn't look at your channel :P everyone uses fake ages here, including me :P i'm actually only a few years older then you. But your lucky i guess to have parents who like this kind of music :P my parents call it devil trash... i honestly don't think this band has anything satanic about it.

[wutitizzzz]

@TasteForDisaster um haha it says 'for the heart I never had' and the carpenter talks about a dying world and making people cry...

[FoxofSilverBullet]

@TasteForDisaster it doesnt. this band is realy good and actuly use angels on their CD cases and stuff.

i havent heard anyhting relating Satan to their music.. though the one who writes most of the songs has a thing for wanting to put the phrase "and all the dead children" or " all the dieing children" in the songs he composes XD

[MrNoobHere]

@FoxofSilverBullet

10th man down - The poet and the pendulum - dead to the world

[wutitizzzz]

@FoxofSilverBullet wait can't you use your real age? I'm 13 and I used my real age and it worked...

[fencernusy]

@wutitizzzz Because some videos are age-restricted, so you can only view them over 16 or 18.

*sigh* This makes me feel SO old.

[wutitizzzz]

@fencernusy I see.....:(

[FoxofSilverBullet]

@wutitizzzz because theres videos that are marked for "mature" viewers only that are appropret for all. i got tired of having perfectly good videos on here that i couldnt watch. so i got this account from my bro so i could watch them.

[OPELxGUY]

Nightwish is like alcohole to me. if im in a bad mod, i will get worse.

if im in a good mod, i will get better!

and im addicted to it!

[Vergil7799]

one word - like

[FreedoMSeekeR003]

Hey dude I will take your video to put the lyrics on it! hope don't bother you :)

[hellhammer6789]

happy birthday anette!

[glupsamja]

love the starting of the song. from 0:00 - 0:35

[DragonXShadowGirl]

AMAZING!! tarja and anette are not enemies, because they have been part of Nghtwish and therefore are of the same group, in a sense...(sorry if i had an error,but i'm italian XD)

[HeartsEyes]

@DragonXShadowGirl They have never met, but of course they've always been asked about each other.. and they both only speak well of each other, no hate there. :)

[emiblindside]

@DragonXShadowGirl ci sono molto problemi tra lei e tarja. ci vediamo all' uscita

[NightWhiteFantasy]

@DragonXShadowGirl That was one of the most positive comments made ever of nightwish, love it! Thank you!

[mikewill9511]

@DragonXShadowGirl Totally agree.

[ElvenWish6]

she dosent sound like annet in the start.

[ElvenWish6]

she dosent sound like annet in the start.

[thegearsomaniac]

Thabks for uploading the song!been looking for it lately!

Love this song,and Nightwish! :))

[LadyAnimeFire]

I love Nightwish... and I love this song! (I love the songs, that sung Anette... shure.... but I hate Anette....)...

N♥I♥G♥H♥T♥W♥I♥S♥H♥

[xskullxkissesx]

@LadyAnimeFire why exactly do you hate her? She brings a bang of youthful energy to the stage and sings the Dark Passion Play songs well. She can preform just as well live as she just in studio, just as Nightwish always has. She doesn't sing the older nightwish songs as well because they were NOT made to fit her vocals.

[ScooterCRO]

Nightwish FTW!!
