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.
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.
@kplesmiz This song was originally made for animated film 'The Snowman' where it was performed by Peter Auty.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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
//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.
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.
@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!
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
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.
@fumfulapenguin Yep. The nightwish aura/soul calls people to listen, this most amazing music in the world! :'))) im So happy that i cry.. :) And Hey everybody, Listen and tell about this song to your frends etc. :) Happy Christmas from Finland! Peace, Love, and Understanding <3
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.
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.
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
@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.
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..
