  • Best solo ever 

  • Best song on Oceanborn

  • This is a *really* good version for Metal, but the original Howard Blake tune for the animated film "The Snowman" was better. More atmosphere, I think.

  • Walking in the air was not composed by Nightwish....this is their their version of an the tune.And indeed a great one.

    Rainbow had their version on the album Bent out of Shape released in the early 80's...

    You find it on youtube

  • The original is definately a classic and I usually don't like remakes but this verison is really good .

  • This was never the Nightwich Music, who composed this song was Tarja Turunen, in his new project Haruz his new band!

  • Tuomas is masterful in his musical compositions and Tarja brings the song to life.... and the rest of the band blends in the beautiful harmonies and guitar riffs.

  • Comment removed

  • Tarja can drop-kick Amy Lee's ass any day. ;)

  • \,,/ Tarja Turunen

  • @rubenick Ootko suomalainen :D?

  • @tosikolli Kyllä

  • @rubenick :D

  • This version is ok but the original in my opinion is a masterpiece. It does not need heavy metal guitars or drums to back it up.

  • This is breathtaking!

  • It's a shame the original singer never got the true recognition. Personally I like this version best of all.

  • Nightwish whitout Tarja is like Audi whitout 4wheeldrive or Saab whitout turbo ps r.i.p saab

  • The Original was shit with no guitars and drums to back it up. Remake the original film with this beasty music!

  • 1.10 The Upgrade begins!

  • nice, but no contest with the real thing.

  • Yes they pulled off the Impossible, this cover version as being better than the original sung by the good lad Aled Jones.

  • epic cover

  • perfectly sung great tune

  • Tää biisi on parhain joulukappale koskaan!

  • Best xmas song EVER!!!

  • Isn't that the song "The snowman"? I heard it from Rainbow.....

  • @kplesmiz yes!

  • @kplesmiz This song was originally made for animated film 'The Snowman' where it was performed by Peter Auty. After that it has been covered many times. Rainbow named their cover The Snowman.

  • @Stoney78 aaa I see....thank you!!

  • the willages

  • Tää on tosi hyvä biisi

  • GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD

  • Nightwish in my <3

  • 73 persons are deaf............. 

  • En ymmärrä näitä tyyppei jotka tulee haukkuu nightwishin laulajia enkuks, tai siis tää on suomalainen yhtye, ei mekää kai mennä haukkuu jtn korealaisia yhtyeitä tai mitään? Vai mennäänkö?

  • @CaralindaAZ Ei nightwishin suomalaisuus mitenkään liity siihen että he tulevat haukkumaan tätä. Et voi omia tätä bändiä, nightwish on melko tunnettu maailmalla.

    Jos en pitäisi korealaisesta bändistä niin pointti ei ole se että se on korealainen vaan se että en pidä siitä.

  • The best version of this song!

  • @MSFRmike

    Oh and don't just wish you were one those guys.

    You were right about one thing- Tarja has a lovely voice.

  • Nightwish watched the Lawnmower overcome its gravitational disadvantage, and that sole event led them to wrote this song about the Lawnmower's glorious conquest of the open sky. Good on you Nightwish for recognizing such an incredible Lawnmower.

  • @xAtrumInritus Brilliant comment but confusing slightly :P Was funny picturing them all on lawnmowers though.... ='-)

  • Lawnmower brought me here :'D

  • Kukaan ei osaa laulaa tätä kappaletta oikein hyviin! Mie ossaan kyllä : S

  • Too much vibrato for me. I kind of like the dramatics of the rock-ish music behind it.

  • Thank you lawnmower for teaching me to dream. I will forever remember your bravery as you float among the clouds. Perhaps someday, your dreams will take you to the stars.

  • one of the best xmas songs...............EVER

  • veryy strong song ^^ ;(( ^^ ,33

  • "Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep

    Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep" CTHULHU!

  • Nightwish is from Finland and I'm from Finland, too! :D Love this song! And The Snowman too, I watch it every year.

  • I love this music! Music show is in the Movie!

  • awesome

  • Nightwish have nailed this song so perfectly tarja's voice is perfect for this and its a good song to listen to while your in a snowy part of skyrim

  • @24SparrowJack *insert arrow to the knee joke here*

  • @24SparrowJack I used to be an skyrim player like you but then i went outside and realized its now winter, so we dont haveto look those landscapes from skyrim.

  • i brought myself here

    

  • That new singer SUKCS!

  • 70 people died of jealousy. They wish they could sing a song so beautifully yet powerfully.

  • Both versions are amazing. And now that Peter Auty is one of the best tenors in the world, it would be great to listen to them singing together.

  • OMG!!!!!! This is sex to the ears! I love it!

  • And then it was like ELECTRIC GUITAR!

  • The snowman brought me here

  • damn, they should have left this song alone.

  • Beautiful and beastly.

  • //Clarification about my post below about Jackie Evancho //

    My understanding from reading post on Jackie's Facebook page and other sources that Jackie has never add voice training outside of some coaching to help with her breathing/confidence, etc.... Jackie is a prodigy. She seems to know how to hit the center of notes & couple that with her mature sound and pure smooth tone is heavenly. Also, she is kept well within her limits as note to damage her instrument.

  • I am new to Nightwish. I found about Nightwish because a little American girl covered this song on her Christmas album. The girl's name is Jackie Evancho, 11. This little girl's current range is approx. 4 octaves. She will not receive formal vocal training until she reaches puberty. Couple weeks ago she was the youngest ever singer to sing atAvery Fischer Hall @ Lincoln Center NYC. She is no gimmick. She has a smooth slow vibrato and a mature sound with sheer purity. Soul touching tone.

  • Finland > Wales

  • @TheOrangeFondler if u didn't know that Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen is opera singer u are big moran -.-

  • I hate this song but this is an AWESOME cover for sure!!

  • I fucking love this woman.

  • chills...

  • friggin awesome cover... play it at christmas parties

  • Haatfilms I understand now.

  • EPIC

  • I agree with bismarck. When Tarja left, nightwish died.

  • @supern00b25 Not Nightwish, but their style died. Anette Olzon is good singer, but her voice isnt original.

  • @supern00b25 nope! they improved with anette

  • @knightstorm16V I wouldn't say they improved, but they are different now.

  • @knightstorm16V

    no. they don't. 

  • This song has been my companion since I was a little girl!! Now I'm grown up and it still makes me shiver every time I listen to it!!

  • I can't believe I've only found this song now after so long I've been knowing Nightwish...

  • thumbs up if lawnmower brought you here

  • It's not the same without the lawnmower.

  • id get the lawnmore thing someone help me out here

  • que bello tema ... me gusta mucho ... NIGHWISH,, X SIEMPRE ..CON TARJA ..NUNCA TE OLVIDAREMOS ERES LA MEJOR .... TE AMAMOS TUS FANS....

  • Dear Nightwish  fans,

    Think of it this way, the lawnmower has brought publicity :D

  • LAWNMOWER

  • Sorry to say that, but the original is way better :/

  • uma das melhores, que só a tarja saberia cantar.

  • This cover doesn't hold a light to the original version. It's meant to be light & airy. This is too intense, and does not put me in the Christmas spirit.

  • Tarja is Nightwish. I dont care about the other members!

  • @bismarck194188 You're an idiot...Tuomas is Nightwish...he writes the lyrics, he creates the melodies. Without Tuomas...Nightwish wouldn't exist

  • @bismarck194188 WOOOOOOOOOW NIGHTWISH IS NOT ONE PERSON ITS 5 TOUMAS, EMPPU, MARCO, JUKKA AND ANETTE (EX MEMBERS TARJA, SAMI) AND IF YOU ONLY LIKE TARJA THEN YOU ARE NOT A TRUE NIGHTWISH FAN GO LISTEN TO HER BEING SOLO!

  • Musica maravilhosa....Fantástica.....­The Best...

  • I listen to Nightwish while playing The Sims 3 xD this song is the most beautiful song ever made by them.. what I mean. ! :D

  • I feel like I'm a kid again, good ol' Nightwish

  • Much better than the original

  • A troll pony saying are you a beeyetch that likes bananas, brought me to a video where a pony was dancing on the moon to a nightwish song, and then I remember I have so many nightwish amvs on my comp.. So yeah thats what brought me here. how about you guys? xD

  • I'm proud to say that The Snowman brought me here. This chick's got nothing on the movie soundtrack.

  • @fiendclubforever True, but it's a damn good cover of the classic I must say.

  • I am a disciple of the lawnmower

  • Great band,and great song,the biggest influence on my musical taste.I made cover of this song,of course it's not that good as the original,but it mean a lot to me if anyone listen to it.Take care and enjoy in good music.

  • ...the voice of an angel walking in the air

    i love tarja she is my godess...

  • The Snowman

  • Tarja i think she is the daughter of Midas..Whatever she touches became gold!

  • fucking great...i am dying for this song...and something else--->celtic woman sucks on this song..Tarja goddnes!

  • great version

    

  • Спасибо Nightwish, super!

  • The innocence and the subtle (until the end at least) melancholy that characterize the original cover fit this song much better in my honest opinion.

  • That make it much more dreamlike though

  • Wow. Years and years ago, I imagined doing a rock version of this, and someone has! It's beautiful.

  • i also arrived by lawnmower .

  • che voceeeeee !! *-*

  • 1:06 music ... pure music

  • satellite named lawnmover get em there

  • my flying earcum brought me here

  • OMG! Snowman! I can't believe Nightwish did this...it's beautiful... :')

  • @theamvgirlx hehe yea awesome you like snowman :? :)

  • Flying Bulls brought me here.

  • lawnmower

  • This comment is about lawnmowers.

  • what the hell is lawnmower

  • A voice like no other, and it sings of enchanted lawnmowers~*

  • Amazing !

  • This is originally "snowman" search it google. Howard Blake did the music

  • hey! i heard this song long time ago really good ive found its again!

  • That lawnmower is an inspiration to us all.

  • @tedgoodman : There's also a version by band Oceansize on a B-side album. By far the best version to me...

  • No one brought me here. I just love this song. Beautifully sung and written. This is what you call MUSIC!!!

  • :\ why does lawnmower have anything to do with Nightwish...?

    Youtube suggestion is weird...

  • dragonair907 - at first i thought you wrote my lawnmower brought me here LOL :)

  • Rainbow has also recorded this. I am too tired to check, but I think the album was Bent out of Shape or Straight between Eyes... However, Rainbow's version sounds aged and dusty.

  • the flying walrus who was milking in the air brought me here =D

    

  • hat films

  • Hat

  • Mr Holopainen is very talent composer.

  • @Luke64 Actually, this is a cover. Tuomas didn't write this.

  • @BittersweetMoonlight Really, i didn´t know that.

    Who wrote the text, Composer is MrHolopainen?

  • parempi ku alkuperäne. ( oma mielipide..)

  • @7luffy On parempi, mä en tiny et tää on COVERi.

  • @Luke64 alkuperäne on jonku Howard Blake :n säveltämä. Et tää ei oo se alkuperäne. Mut tykkään silti tästä versiosta enemmä.

  • @Luke64

    Ainahan nää kaikki on. Kaikki biisit, siis äänenvaihtelut sopivissa kohdissa. Nykyään voidaan vain instrumenttien ja äänten skaalaa leventämällä yrittää uutta.

  • Cant express how much im grieved to see something so beautiful come to pass.I know its far became a cliche to say Nightwish is ruined without Tarja but for goodness sake listen to that voice :S they lost their uniqueness with Tarja now they are average band :(...sigh.

  • This version is good.

  • ►♫ My channel for SEXY versions of Nightwish, Evanescence & Remixes! ♫◄

  • Cool song!..

  • I like the Celtic Woman version of this song best, but the NW version is also amazing.

  • I love this song but it makes me so sad because I listened to it on the night of my cousin's funeral, and it fit so perfectly. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of him. <333

  • Thumbs up if you were led to this by the flying lawnmower.

  • Perfect dreaming song. I am hooked.

  • 1:31... that low note owned :D Btw, this song make me dream of many things...

  • great song!!!

  • HOLY CRAP!!! This is that song from that sad Snowman Christmas special!

  • The lawnmower brought me here.

  • @dragonair907 What the hell is lawnmower? I was brought here because i wanted to listen one of the greatest groups ever

  • @TheQneb no he means literally a lawnmower brought him here, he is the spawn of internet memes and rides a toon Weebl's stuff lawnmower from sight to sight.

  • @TheQneb A flyinf lawnmower. The most beautiful sight to behold.

  • i found this beautiful

  • laox85thanks for sharing this beautiful song<3

  • why is tarja's voice so modified, her true voice is quite better

  • A flying lawnmower brought me here.

  • @snaredrums123 nice lmao

  • When I first heard this had been done by a rock band I dismissed the idea as nonsense, but this is good. Much better than the original.

    

  • Not good as the original. Her voice just isn't suited to it. Kudos for trying though.

  • @Kastraelie

    Wrong.. the original was made by Howard Blake and the song was called "Walking in the Air" performed by choirboy Peter Auty. It was made for an animated film called "The Snowman"

    How can you be so wrong? Please get facts straight before going around telling people total BS..
