Over the Hills and Far Away - Nightwish

[CuvarZla]

Point of the song:

That's what you get when you sleep with your friend's girl :D

[otenet1313]

Gary Moore R.I.P.

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

LOL! Led Zeppelin! That's when you know your band is awesome, when people say your version of a song is best when they apparently haven't even heard it!

[ROB6ZOMBIE666]

man, nightwish takes you to other worlds, and beyond!

[gargul221]

@ROB6ZOMBIE666

yes to the other world it is true

:D

[phoenixgirl39]

This one is Gary Moore's Over the Hills and Far Away.

[strahinja95]

best of the best !

[magicchris1]

This is terrible because it's not Led

[allthesametakemeaway]

your mom was terrible because she was Led

[jerhinus]

bad they put tarja away...

[lakritzekatze]

Tarja put herself away! :-)

[LuvGamez]

sucha n aweseom song!, are you sure she didnt get kicked in like 2005? 3 years ago

[worldsmostidiot]

tarja is kicked from nigthwish she did get kicked one year ago :( but their are nice xD

[Misszecat]

So great !! =D

[Firefreezen]

I Think that Gary Moore's version is better than this one. But is a nice cover by Nightwish

[SaphirySherazard]

I love Nightwish! Tarja is the best! This song's marvellous!

[HeroDerPsychatrie]

Ich mag zwar nicht so wirklich nightwish aber .... das lied ist einfach das geilste was man kriegen kann!

[wixxer66]

man ey ich kann mich nciht entscheiden welche die geilste version von dem lied ist die von nightwish oder die von sonata arctica oder die von gary moore sind alle drei super geil :D

[tzwen16]

ja, alle drei rocken heftig... aber bei der hier kann ich die stimme von der tuss echt nich ab!!! (the voice is horrible - the song's fucking good :-)

[Rikki0]

Beide versionen des von Gary Moore und Nightwish sind grosartig, aber ich bevorzuge Nightwish. Es ist nur so viel machtiger. Ich habe nicht gehort die ein durch Sonata Arctitica.

[Rikki0]

I am teaching myself German and cheating a lot, so forgive any mistakes. But I have found the best way is to read things ( like your posts ) and then reply ( even if I have to cheat with dictionary and such ) But it is working. I needed help with my reply but I understood what both of you said.

[allthesametakemeaway]

wtf did they say then?:S

[Rikki0]

Basically, wixxer66 and tzwen said, they liked both versions. But they didn't know whih they liked best. I just said I liked Nightwish version better.

[allthesametakemeaway]

then why did wixxer66 mention sonata arctica?

and i personally like nightwish's version more as well

[Rikki0]

He was saying he could not decide between Nightwish, Gary Moore, or sonata arctica's version which he liked best. He said that they were all great.

[allthesametakemeaway]

well, sonata arctica doesn't have a version of this song, theres a vid on youtube marked as sonata arctica but it's actually thyrfing, which is prolly what confused me

i unno if you knew that or not, just saying

[Rikki0]

Yeah, I've seen the Thyrging version. If I said anything else it would problably start a fight, heh. He might have confused that version. I still like this one best. But was just translating, and that is what he said.

[allthesametakemeaway]

lol, thanks for clarifying

[MinaLugosi]

I absolutely love them.

Amazing song <33

[mccormick145]

Simply awesome group.

[GraceTemptation]

I simply agree! :)

[metalsierra]

even though I think Nightwish made an excellent cover... nothing beats the original

[zeusiecake]

This def. beats the original lol. Let's be honest, if you heard these 2 not knowing which was the cover you'd think this one was the original.

[InvaderJem]

Love this song... I've heard Moore's version, but I prefer Nightwish's, personally... It must be Tarja's voice, lol.

And as far as the Annette vs Tarja thing goes... Annette's voice goes rather well for some songs, but I prefer Tarja's voice. I shudder to think what 'Sleeping Sun' would sound like if Annette sings it. o_0

[Penumbra87]

Anette actually does a good job on 'Sleeping Sun', but it's never been one of my favourtie NW songs.

Anyway, I love this song. Totally awesome.

[ojibwa66]

its led zepplin............who can really match that,,,, I mean really

[Penumbra87]

Uh... this song isn't by Led Zeppelin, they have a song by the same title, but it's completely different.

[axel999f]

@ojibwa66 the feck you on about man? I am proud to say that this is orginaly done by the Gary Moore the real Irish rock legend!!!

[lostprophetPF]

Nightwish ist erst mi Annette richtig geil!

[mischkacharly999]

nightwish ist und bleibt nur mit TARJA nightwish....4EVER!!!!!!!

[Mavala12]

I like it

[Rikki0]

You know this video just irritates the hell out of me. I come on U Tube to listen to music and this is always the first one I pull up.  Then I listen to it and think, " Damn, how the hell I gonna anything better to listen to? " Got to be one of the best versions of any song ever done.

[Rikki0]

It's like eating dessert first.

[mottorkarka]

my favourite song very nice tarja forever...tarja please come back...

[mottorkarka]

my favourite song very nice tarja forever...tarja please come back...

[EnyaAdiemus89]

I herd that the band nightwish broke up because of Tarja not being far with them.

But it's a great song

[Rhaal92]

Actually, they didn't broke : they simply took another singer

And, she sucks . You can hear her in their last album...simply awful.

[EnyaAdiemus89]

Thank you for being nice to me lol

last comment some like said they would kill me lol ^^;

[ballandchain80]

Shame on this poor version of such a great song by the godfather of guitar Gary Moore!!!

[Rhaal92]

Oh, come on ! It's not all that bad :P I heard worst version . And, the lyrics are pure poetry. The sound is good too ^^ So, STFU ^_^

[Ksty666]

2.14 - 2.56 <33 <<3

[Giftkrote]

miss her in nightwish so much...wish her all the best in her solo career...the begining isn't bad)

[cybercow222]

yes, too bad they switched the singer Tarja, Tarjaaaaaaa come back

[4evernaday]

OMG, i loved that! Great song, great band! I love the lyrics and the vocals sooo much!

[katetheace]

omg the keyboard and the guitar totally compliment each other sounds great keep up the good work nightwish

[Puckosvart]

esox66.. ur comment was unnessecary

[IshimaruKazuko]

Nightwish is not as good now that Tarja is gone. I shall miss her! esox66 and LeeOfSorrow You too should like be nice to eachother. It isn't worth fighting over. Everyone has their own opinion.

[LovelyLady1988]

You know, it never works out when your alibi is that you were kissing it up with your best friend's wife. (See the Long Black Veil and other songs.)

[lordofdarkcness]

kalidad

[mrsik14]

Tarja is the best!!! and Nightwish is the best but isn`t now :(

[xxdyogas1]

Prefer Tarja eh...

[leunamex]

soooooo sad........ I miss her ;_;

[simsim1991]

I miss her ;_;

[jakxjustowns]

she sings really great she pwwns everyone

[necroshadas]

una gran cancion por fin interpretada por un gran artista nigthwhis

[froobsor]

she sings so good :)

[ightFR]

*she sings so well..

[mischkacharly999]

if you hear only the song..... you like it and feel a little bit sad... but if you read the songtext too, you feel very sad and miserable... but it's my favourite song!!!

[eragondk2]

have you ever red the text for high hopes or kingslayerßthat´s sad xD

[mischkacharly999]

if you hear this song... you like it... if you read the songtext too.... you cry... it's a really sad song, if you understand the text but it's my favourite song!!!

[esox66]

This is pretty lame, I was looking for LZ. Is this what they call "emo" rock.  All it's missing is hobbits and dragons. God I hate this overproduced soulless crap

[Rheims]

Sweetie, before you try to be cool and throw names around, why don't you get educated, hm? 'Emo' music is generally considered to be 'overproduced soulless crap', and hated for it, but this, my dear, is certainly not emo. Please try to refrain from making yourself look stupid with your petty assumptions, there's a good boy.

[esox66]

Well...I was asking a question. It has been answered. My stupid question aside, it does not negate the fact this is wickedly overproduced.

[Rheims]

Where did I say it wasn't :grin:

[ifi2lew]

That was one awesome reply!!!!! ;))

[Rheims]

Thankee :D

[LeaOfSorrow]

Fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you sux esox66, your a son of a bitch!!!!if you want something nice to watch i bet its so lame!!! dont watch this if u dont like it ok!!!! alll nightwish fans hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[esox66]

Leaofsorrow: Why don't you calm down it's only a song. I'm glad you hate me. All I did was call this song as I saw it, and I stand by my comment. Bands that have limited talent and song writing ability make up for that by overproducing their music to hide their shortcomings as musicians. Any serious music lover understands this. By the way learn how to put a coherent thought in writing before you reveal to the world what an illiterate fool you are.

[xxKramerxxA]

False accusations, an unnameable alibi, the await to return to a loved one... I know the story well.

[SimeonKiller]

they split up they no sing anymore :(

[Ghostxinxthexcorner]

They do. They got a new singer in february, dumbass, lol.

Go check their myspace or summit.

[D]

[simeon99921]

live with your dream douchbag u realy think they got myspace lololol they were all around the world they would have myspace acc its like george bush having an myspace acc llolololol douchbag

[Ghostxinxthexcorner]

ehrm, they do actually. and theyre touring the UK in late march.

the myspace is run by their webmasters, yeah, but they have got a new singer, and they are recording again...

So be carefull who you call a douchebag.

[D]

[SimeonKiller]

First of all they no together anymore they split idk how long ago dough :(

[Hammy315]

Wow cool man! 5 stars definantly! This is one of my three favorite nightwish songs. The others are Wishmaster, and Nemo.

[FinnMetallmusic]

This is their best song=)

[MomSaysImCool]

I look Over the hills and far away for the Led Zeppelin song. This is proof you can polish a turd.

[schardaken]

well screw yu all if your gonna give me negative comments but its the truth you lil emo fukcers.

[RazelG]

It's the interntubes, calm the hell down.

[hellschopsi]

vin it xD

[enteringsandman]

this is just like dio:s holy diver, and killswitch:s cover of diver. i think gary:s version is better, and i think dio:s original diver is better.

dont kill me if you disagree.

[K4R1xKR13G3R]

u can feel the power of this song and i love it good for running

[Nazrael]

I love this song so much, even though it's meaning is adult-wise. :P Atleast there's actually a STORY behind the song unlike most songs.

[pasanen123]

detta är så jävla bra...synd om dom bytt sångerska ...

[dragonsofliberty]

i love this song; i think it's the best song Nightwish ever did with Tarja.

[schardaken]

yeah pity she was such a bitch the band kicked her out, just cause your the vocalist dosnt mean you can treat your band like shit

[XxJinglesxX]

I quite agree. I love her voice, but she still treated them with disrespect and that kinda pissed me off. Good song, tho!

[schardaken]

dude whats up with the emo straight edge look of the xx in your name lol.

[XxJinglesxX]

I would be a chick...And it's a nickname.

[schardaken]

dude yes mainly mans a guy but it can also be something a person says, but yeah people say hey xxjinglesxx in real life i doubt that its an emo straight edge thing why add that to your name like why i dont get it do you wish to be associated with the scum of the earth emos.

[XxJinglesxX]

Its just a joke between me and my friends. We're not into the emo thing either, so I just put the straight edges to be funny. Kinda like a mock emo. I'd get rid of them if I could, but I don't think I can...

[schardaken]

lol nice one lol i love it when other people mock emos! good one.

[RazelG]

Just to stoke the fire more, because I'm a prick: Straight edge is orignally a punk movement, not emo. I hate emo myself, but don't disrespect punk music. Well, the good punk music.

[hellschopsi]

lol tht is true but it aint nice 2 call such a gd singa a bitch xD :P

[Slamboy01]

Love Tarja

[Slamboy01]

Nagyon jó!

[frifrafro]

LOVE 0.00-0.30

[mischa1989ddr]

quite amazingggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!

[wolfo714]

you mean vibrato? that's not what i'm talking about i don't mind vibrato

[DestroyEmos]

Over the Hills and Far Away? Couldn't they think of anything more original???

[FanOfBodom]

Well, it's a cover. Last time I checked, covers aren't originals. They're, well, covers...

[DestroyEmos]

What song are they covering??? This isn't the Led Zeppelin song of the same title.

[Thefilthyblood]

gary moore's song over the hills and far away,led zeppelin sucks,emos too.

[DestroyEmos]

How the hell does Zeppelelin suck???

[Thefilthyblood]

does to me because i just listen to black metal,cybergothic,electrogothi­c,gothic metal....lol

[Tranquilgardenhose]

Thyrfing's is better.

[robertplantwatson]

good guitar!

[thedarkestimmortal]

it sounds like tap dancing music in sum parts.... but awesum song and vid, i love nightwish

[schink24]

That song is awesome!!

The Nightwish cover also rocks!

(one of the best cover with the one of Thyrfing!)

[wolfo714]

I don't like the effect on her voice...it sounded like she was gargling while singing at parts

[FanOfBodom]

Actually, I don't think that's an effect - just a poor recording.

[wolfo714]

but you do know what i'm talking about yes?

[FanOfBodom]

Yeah for sure. Tarja does a bit of that herself (I forget what the technique is called, it's used by people who have classical/operatic training) but the audio quality on this vid isn't all that happening so it sounds worse.

[Aeiglos]

tuomas looks really different

[Rheims]

I know. These dasys he looks kinda like Jack Sparrow ^_^

[wolfo714]

I agree! I was watching the End of an Era dvd and i saw his little action figure of Jack Sparrow and I was like. Is he trying to look like Jack Sparrow? 'Cause if so it's working

[Liamjackson333]

I know, i think he looks so much like johnny depp

[imaginary92]

anette doesn't suck...she is a good singer...she just isn't tarja!she isn't tarja, she hasn't her voice and you can't say she sucks...she's still a good singer, but no one can compare the new Nightwish to the Nightwish we all used to know!they're now a different band, so...anyway, love this song!

[Aeiglos]

totally agree. tarja could never have sung any of the new songs like Anette

[SabuPtolemy]

Such an awesome song! Gary Moore is a genius for writing it and Nightwish do a nice version of it.

[Raldidal]

If you don't like annette, quit bitching, because Annette is the new singer, and theres nothing you can do about it! If you want to listen to music similar to nightwish, try Epica! The bands were almost the same in that sense anyways, and Annette reversed that similarity. She makes the band MUCH more original and interesting to listen to.

I win XD (This was all ment to be one comment)

[Raldidal]

There is a difference between technical, talented vocals, and good musicianship. And that difference is, a good musician can work WITH a band, rather than for the band or having the band work for them, aswell as coming up with melody that can move a person.

[Raldidal]

Secondly, she wanted more money, which couldn't be done. Thirdly, She never bothered even to so much as look at the music that Toumas wrote, thus showing that she wanted complete artistic influence over the band. If anything, Just based on those points allone, Anette is the better musician.

[Raldidal]

Also, yes, it was because tarja said that the band needed her that she was fired. But it was also for more important reasons. She didnt bother really truely listening to what the band was playing, thus slightly separating tarja from the rest of the sound.

[Raldidal]

Oh my god! She fits the group way better than tarja if anything. Nightwish's old music was better suited to tarja, yes. Then they started to head towards a sound that she could quite fit. The bands style changed graudyaly, and the newer style fits Annette much better!

[Durzah]

i've been realizing empuu isnt that impressive.. DONT BITCH AT ME FOR SAYING THIS.. i love him and he has very affective riffs. and his solo's have feelings to them.. i'm just saying... compared to a lot of metal his solo's are just like. heh that was cool, not like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Fedenobx]

anette sucks!!! tarja is the best

[Durzah]

HELLS YEAH!!!! i hate annettes bitch ass

[MidnightSun82]

nightwish isch eifach e hammergeili band!!

[ImaginaryHearts]

I miss Tarja, but hey, if they think Annette is good enough to be a part of Nightwish, we'll just have to live with that.

[mizerna]

Annette is a wery talentfull singer,but she is not the one for Nightwish.

[deletectrl]

Anette is nothing beside Tarja

[LaCuervitabucanera]

Annette sucks!! well actually no, but she doesn't fit in the group! her voice is for a more like pop group or something! Tarja should go back to Nightwish!!!

[lottalava]

I like a lot Tarja voice, but we must wait to see Annette, if the band believe in her we have to trust then!

[Raldidal]

OH common, at least give annette a chance! They dont even have an album out yet with yer and your bitching about it!

[Durzah]

yes i do i have all of DPP. i hate it's vocals

[dean4xena]

Lol i don;t care what any1 says without Tarja nightwish will be utter crap..

[Mackebananen]

Nightwish are dead whitout tarja!

[heylalla2]

why the HELL did they fire tarja!??

[sirhc777]

They Fired her because she said they needed her, and frankly i think she was right, everytime i hear this song i get goosebumps its that good, when i hear Anette's music i just sit there like ...wtf??!!!

[lawlerskates]

I agree fully :/ She was right. I mean I like Bye Bye Beautiful, but besides that...Just no >_>

[Aussiehamster]

press play AND CRANK THE VOLUME!

[Aussiehamster]

press play AND CRANK THE VOLUME!

[foreverandever19]

yeah...well i absolutely LOVE it but we all have our own opinions...lol i was definitely waiting for one of these diehard Tarja fans to put some snarky reply lol

[foreverandever19]

ahh...nobody kill me but i seriously think this song would be better if Anette sang it instead

[Rheims]

Meh, I don't like the way Anette sounds. Admittedly she's good, but her voice just doesn't have that....sparkle, ya kno?

[TheBladeSephara]

that was the best, most original, most classic music vid i have sean in all of my life. THIS is true ROCK! *stabs wrist* i love life

[coramunroe]

Wow - every so slight touch of traditional folk, yay!

[TheBladeSephara]

the lead singer has a phenomenal voice. and that guitar dude has mad skillz, plus he looks like legolas. PWNZAGE

[Lordi665]

Duhhh, he looks so much more like Don Johnson

[TheBladeSephara]

what in the FUCK is a Don Johnson? :P

[hatejapanesecars]

great song. make me wanna buy the album. the ones i have are only century child and once. i love the guitar riffs in the beginning. great chorus as well.

[Akasha1985]

I love this song. Outstanding.

[Emilyywafc]

This song is amazing

[elpablo1991]

Ign414bw: U SUCKS!

[Wolfpup9299]
