  • sum of Anette's singing reminds me of that one dead woman's singing in The Fiddler On The Roof musical

  • The stupid clown and sircus theme in the middle of this song kills it, but Anette's vocals on this track are kinda cool.

  • Tuomas has lost his mind...

  • Nightwish was yesterday in Oulu, it was a perfect show. Only one autograph I did not get from It was from Marko. Lucky night.

  • EPIC

  • I love london bridge is falling down. Why did I only just notice this?

  • holy crap.. do i hear hints of Haunted Mansion inspired notes in there? that is beyond awesome.. like the rest of the song!

  • I want this song to be played at my funeral, so I can rise once again.

  • @xDAZZE lol me too

    Me: I've come to take you with me! >:)

    Relatives: aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!­!!! D:

  • sounds like a horror musical XDDDDDD

  • It seems like a clone of Dark chest of wonders

  • @abrafrodon .....have you ever listened to all of dark chest of wonders?

  • @abrafrodon ....how the hell is this even close to being a clone of dark chest of wonders? There is absolutely no resemblance whatsoever.

  • marco is mad xD

  • ohhh what their songs turn into. So sad, good bye Nightwish, this is just too far from emotional heavy metal songs they once had...

  • why this band(that's better than god,ahemahem~)is so perfect? ;-;

  • 0:00 to 0:30

    Holy Shit!!!

    A ring, a ring o' roses,

    A pocket full o’posies-

    Atishoo atishoo we all fall down

    

  • SQUAEEEEEEALING PIGS! :D

  • wow Annette sounds hot lol

  • i really like this song, but... Why anette sings too bad here? :S

  • @Octvaerum It's part of the circus act

  • Last night, I couldn't get to sleep so I put this song on and scared the hell out of myself. Then I listened to it on repeat because it's freaking awesome!!!

  • @RestCalm And I guess you didn't sleep XD

  • @MrMontilius Nope :D I was too busy going ninja on random shadows I thought were a little to close. Oh god I freaking love Nightwish!!!

  • WOOOT for sonata-allegro form.

  • Proper bonkers. It's Tim Burton gone metal :D

  • Skawweeeeeling peegs!

  • Sort of reminds me of a disney song anyone else? haha

  • el principio de esta cancion me da miedo!!!!!!

  • Yes, it seems Annette's voice is a lot more suited to performing a song rather than singing it. If she just sings it's competent - if a tad underwhelming - but when she adopts a character with her voice it feels like she's really having fun, as well as sparking off the listeners' imaginations.

    I approve of this move. :3

  • @Griefshire16 exactly!! :D

  • This whole album is fucking CREEPY! Although very different from their original style...I quite like it.

  • This song looks like a Jack's Nightmare soundtrack... just amazing, Nightwish rules!

  • scared the crud out of me at first

    then i couldnt help but fall in love with it! :D

  • I didn't expect anything from the album (nothing bad, nothing good), but I was surprised in a good way. It's different, yes, VERY different if you ask me, but I actually liked it. Just because it doesn't sound like it used to, it's still Nightwish, and it's still good.

  • la lara la la la laaaaaaaaa, la lara la lara lara laaaaaa!!! (chi chi chin chin chiiiiin)

    la laralala lara lara la lara la la lara la laaaaaaa!!!!

    .... EPIC!!!

  • I don't like this song, When I heard Anette singing and after listening to the circus, i thought it was a joke...what happened to nightwish :/ Compare this song to Elvenpath or She is my sin or even Amaranth...it's too different from what they are or used to be... I'm not criticizing, i'm just giving my opinion...

    PD: for those who i know that will write " and if you dont like it why are you listening to this song"? it was the first time I listened to this song.

  • @metaleroo4ever

    you sir...have lost your sense of imagining....

    good luck with your life :)

  • @reafras I still like NW but I'm pretty sad because I wanted to hear songs such as they used to do in Oceanborn or Century Child...they were power metal! The band went down since Tarja departure .

  • @metaleroo4ever it's not anything about tarja. tuomas didn't want to go through same things over and over again just to make the same kind of music, so he tries different styles. their change started with once and if you check its bonus tracks, neither tarja -her voice- or tuomas had much the same with their past. anette has a good potential for power metal..bruce dickinson style :P..on song of myself, sahara..

    so for the bands sake...let's just not connnect it to a singer

  • for some reason 7 minutes 35 seconds just doesn't feel like enough time to absorb the epicness of this song.

  • @OskarTKid Agreed!!

  • SQUEEEAAALING PIGS!

  • lalalalalaaaaalala das is iwie schön wenn die kinder "singen" erst ruhig dann richtig geil^^

  • 16 people are readings of fairytales ¬¬

  • They are finally making epic masterpieces that are suited for Olzon's voice. They outdid themselves with this album.

    I now have a soundtrack for the sweet but twisted tragedy that is my life. (And now I'm wishing that a totally demented version of "Glee" featuring this kind of music existed.)

  • When the "circus music" started up, I couldn't help but smile :)

  • 2:08 to 2:32 is probably the best guitar part nightwish have ever done. it just makes me wanna windmill so bad.

  • Some parts remind me of Planet Hell. Nevertheless, amazing song in my honest opinion.

  • PIRATE BREAK DOWN!!

  • I will never get enough of listening to this song!

  • I think my issue with this cd is that I hate circus music.. they do a very good job of connecting the circus theme to the different songs... but I hate the beat and structure of the circus moments... if they left the whole middle section out of this song, it would've been much better imo

  • This song scares me so badly..... but it's so epic at the same time!

    

  • Ladies and gentleman, this is one of the best nightwish songs ever! In my opinion, the "circus part" is the best moment in the new album :-)

  • This is like a Disney movie: Full with joy, sadness and love. Great, terrible evilness and fear. A Little hope. strong courageous heroes and beautiful non-staining ladies. Fight between good and evil. At the end Evil gets beaten and Love and peace lasting over the time..

  • This is so freaky!!!! Wonderful peace!

  • multiple EARGASMS!!!!

  • An instrumental version of this would be epic.

  • @sup3rdavid When you buy an album. it is also instrumental in.

  • @Jack95701 THE INSTRUMENTAL DISC IS ONLY LIMITID EDTIONS !

  • SQUEALINGG PIGS

  • 1:02 - 2:02 is when I do the air-conduct.It's like air-guitaring but it makes you look like you're mentally unstable.

  • @NoaharkPhilly I completely agree!!

    

  • This songs shows very close resemblance to parts of the music they play in the phantom manor of disney world! And Tuomas is a huge disneyfan so that explains a lot...

  • So love this track. perfect for leveling with in mmos as well just sing and loose yourself in it :)

  • Me encantaaa!

  • mmm.... noo i love tarja of argentina ♥

  • jajajajaja the only song I like

  • Squeaaaaaaaaling PIGS!

  • Love this song. Especially the middle part :)

  • dis song is creepy. it sounds like soemthing u would hear in a nightmare.

  • @kitkatismaname Sounds like a song like off "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

  • EPIC :D

  • @ThePetrificusTotalus OMFG I LOVE YOUR NAME. O_O

  • @SomeoneMaybeMe thanks :D Long live Harry Potter!!

  • I listened to this on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney, and it was made 10000000000000 times more epic.

  • I wanna see a music vid for this!!!

  • At first listening,the start was a little scary to me:(,but now i adore this lovely-creepy childrens choir..:)!I can only imagine a video for this masterpiece!Hope they will record!

  • I get on my knees in gratitude that I am finally able to listen to full versions of these songs.

    God save Nightwish, that band will one day rule the world!!!

  • I think I'll stop reading comments on Nightwish sons. Constantly reading comments comparing the two singers or insulting one or the other... This is just making me sick. Can't just people enjoy the song a great symphonic metal band ?

  • based as fuck

    she's actually a sick vocalist,

    tarja didn't do crazy cool shit like this

  • The beginning scares me a bit but the rest is amazing!

  • Omg... this is the definition of perfect musicianship. It's outstanding how Nightwish blends a legendary orchestra with raw metal riffs and make such an elegant and gorgeous sound. You can't find a band that does it so well. That beginning with the power metal riff and the orchestra with the choir backing it.... pure beauty.

  • Like agrimmer version of Poet and the Pendulum - ME LIKE EPICS! :D

  • @RtosVadumee

    I thought that Poet and the Pendulum was dark and creepy. This song blows that shit out of the water. :)

  • My favourite song on their new album...I adore their older stuff, but this is so unique and different from everything else they've done. I love the weirdness and insanity in this song.

  • Why do I have a huge shit eating grin listening to this??? Oh that's right .. cuz' I realized Nightwish is NOT LESS with Annette!

  • @rotarynut100 you mean BETTER =D

  • One of the best songs ever.

  • when it started out with small children i knew this was gonna be kinda weird. I was not disappointed. 

  • It sounds great I love this song

  • Controlled Chaos

  • Marco reminds me of Oogie Boogie from The Night Before Christmas in this lol.

  • @squeezeslemons *Nightmare

  • Everything Nightwish ever wanted to do but never could without an Anette.

  • She sounds bloody mental on this one.

  • I think Anette is very versatile and charismatic voice - the album shows that the band definitely has a lot of uses for her. They're more free to explore the styles now.

  • nur komisch das man von tarja nichts mehr hört ... oder nur sehr wenug

  • @MandrakeMcColbin Na doch, die macht noch ne ganze Menge. ;) Man muss nur danach gucken!!

  • egal welche sängerin ... sie machen sehr gute musik ... ob tarja ... oder anette ....

  • I absolutely adore the soft plucking of the harp and piano from 0:28 to 1:03 !

  • Seriously, i like the new album of Nightwish, same if i'm a fan of Tarja, i think Annette find is register of voice, and the group adapt his style to her.

  • The different "parts" of this song make it nice. I like the orchestral part in 1:03, I love it when it is repeated in the end.

  • Hmm....Perhaps Tim Burton and Nightwish should make an album...seems right up his alley

  • @LTVinciti agreed!! was thinkink the same!

  • OH THE IRONY!!! This happens to be the song I listen to right before I go to bed :P

  • Dat Circus melody.

  • Well Tuomas shall talk to Tim Burton to compose second version of "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

  • 3:58 go marco

  • Grrr! Wow!! Amzing!

  • havent listened on nightwish for atleast a month and now their music sound better than ever.

  • When i listen this i feel like i m in sauna and there is very very hot and my body get swet, Then "what the hell" at the same time outside, where is very very cold and I go swimming in a freezing water and, thats makes me shiwers. Owerall feeling make me feel very very good... Ouh jeah of course I´m from finnland! Sorry my brutal english 

  • @Jack95701 xD "brutal english"

  • @Jack95701 I was in Finland two weeks ago and i did the same thing!that was really greate experience :)...I'm from Greece and that was something new for me!I feel the same listening to this song ....

    

  • @A81nuLa I think it was exotic experience, You have been brave! It is nice to try new things.I´have been to couple of times in your country. I fell in love immadiately. Oh. you have too so many things what i liked.Food, see,sun,friendly peole, I cant even a count it all.I´m all ready so excited, the column space run out. Culture for an old, has so far ahead of us.

  • what are the children in the beginning singing?

  • @centurychild10 It's a nursery rhyme, called "Ring a Ring o' Roses." It's a version of this folksong. According to what I've researched, it is related to the Great Plague that assolated England in 1665, or with earlier outbreaks of the Black Death in England

    "A ring, a ring o' roses,

    A pocket full o’posies-

    Atishoo atishoo we all fall down"

  • @NemoTheWayfarer Actually the theory that Ring of Roses is a reference to the plague is wrong. I thought this too but after watching something about the history of nursery rhymes apparently it's not about this, as the plague didn't give people sneezes and the ring of roses is guessed to be a reference to a ring of red on the skin, which the plague also didn't give people. Just another urban myth as this rhyme is also found to be from before the plague occurred.

  • @MilesianMark Oh, ok! I just read it on Wikipedia, I had no idea! Thanks :D

  • @MilesianMark Oh, ok! Thank you!

  • @NemoTheWayfarer oh, thank you very much. i just didn't understand the word "atishoo" (maybe because i don't consider it a word?)

  • this song makes me think of a twisted messed up carnival.... where in the end the "guests" end up as part of the carnival....

    and the ringleader sounds like he should be in a disney movie... you know the kind where all the main villains get their own song and dance routine? yeah... a really bloody disney movie

  • Anette sings more theatrical than anything...

  • Woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head. Nightwish surely does dominate my mind hahaha

  • Tämä kyllä repi meikäläisen samantien paloiksi =) Hieno biisi.

  • 2:02-2:36 , very hardcore gets me pumped.

  • 3:47-5:40 is oozing with Pink Floyd influence.

  • man this song must of been so fun to make haha

  • SQUEEEEEEEELING PIGS!!

  • Scary, like the name says.

    Todellakin pelottava, mutta hyvä että ootte suomalaisia :D

  • holy shit :D beginning sounds like a horror movie. awesome. :D

  • 3:55 : Ladies and gentlemen

    Be heartlessly welcome!

    To Cirque De Morgue

    And what a show we have for you tonight!

  • Creepy, Nightwishy and fairytaleish. Me gusta.

  • One of my favourite songs in general

  • i don't like this song ;/

    for me sucks..but the others songs is great!

  • Non è stato molto pubblicizzato,ma la nuova cantante si chiama Christine D'Avennen,il prossimo singolo si intitolerà "The Puffs",verrà pubblicato in 35 lingue e in italiano sarà "I Puffi"...

  • it's incredible what these guys did to Anette's voice, how they developed that voice, made her realise her potential and "get out of the box". That's what I call musicianship

  • @wodhin Although the band was the reason for it, she actually did all that by herself. ;) They didn't do anything with her voice, that was her.

  • @wodhin My thought EXACTLY! Tuomas is a genious.

  • Brilliant song. On the nail

  • I love Marco's insane clown laughing in this one. I swear, he's the unsung hero of the band.

  • Not creepy at all (sarcasm)

  • Just amazing thanks for this masterpiece!!! Nightwish, Nightwish, Nightwish...

  • I think the Imaginaerum movie is gonna be great...

  • I bet they inspired from Tim Burton and the music of Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris ^^

  • 8 people have too much nightmares.

  • Anyone else noticed that this album is so perfect we havent seen any bullshit about what a shitty singer annette olzon isfrom the douchey hater people??

  • @adamvoltage518 Just wait till it gathers some views.

  • The best song from this album!!!!

  • @jaotac agree ..

  • The beginning of the song creeps me out in a totally awesome way. This is one of my favorite songs ever.

  • чума 

  • la verdad que a mi no me kb ni un poco anette, por lo menos lo de dark passion play, pero bueno esto es diferente ya que por lo menos hicieron algo mas acorde a la boluda esta, por lo menos la musica es agradable y anette no desencaja tanto como en el principio se nota que algo practico jajaja igual mis queridos amigos

    TUUUUUUURUUUUUUUNEEEEEENNNNNN TUUUUUURUUUUUUUNEEEEENNN AGUUUUAAAAAAANTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TUUUUUUURUUUUUUNEEEEEEEEENNNNN­N XD

  • hmm, I would like to experience the way of Holopainen's thinking... or maybe not, it could be monstrous... monstrous and amazing at the same time... he is MAESTRO!!!

  • @draculinaAIG are you fucking crazy man? If a common man experienced Tuomas' way of thinking , it would be fatal for him. It would be like applying a Voyager's 1 engine to a bmx. This is deadly staff man...

  • the five people who disliked this must have done so within the first 30 seconds. pssh...bunch of wimps.....haha ;)

  • Woooow!! Holopainen monster talent is back!!!

  • 4:21 to 5:39 is SICK!! in the awesome way of course ;)

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan best part of the song. hands down.

  • @1990schoolgirl Haha yeah! I was walking to school and had this song full blast on my big headset and I didn't realize how awesome it was until now.

  • old fans like tarja..

    new fans like anette...

    real fans love nightwish !!

  • @waffelnator And i am a real fan .

  • best song ever in the midle turns in to a humppa i have no idea what humppa is in english
