  • Maravilhosa orquestra

    as crianças ficaram perfeitas

  • I think in 3:46 it's Turn Loose The Mermaids

  • We need a whole access vid. I mean, from interviews to Metro Voices to a full recording session with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The classiness of an orchestra plus metal is just overwhelmingly strange and epic. :)

  • I love that horn thing in Aberesque <3

  • 0:37, it's my favorite part of the video

  • Im the girl at the end wearing the purple top

  • im in that choir! :)

    

  • @MegaTwiceasnice REALLY? Who are you? Where? Could you tell me how is the whole experience? :) Hope you are saying the truth -_-

  • @mikewill9511 Yeah i am telling the truth, how can i prove it? i don't know...

    but... I'm the girl furthest from the camera in the front row, wearing a black leather jacket. (why did I think it was cool!?)

    The experience was awesome, I got the band's autographs and just got the CD!

    The music is quite cool... What else do u want to know?

  • @MegaTwiceasnice Just want to know if you guy's have the music playing on your headphones while you sing? And how are the band members in person? Nice? :)

  • @mikewill9511 Yeah we had the backing track on in our headphones, one headphone on one ear, and no headphone on the other as we needed to hear ourselves to sing in tune. We met the band members for a few minutes only, as when we went in to the place where they all were and listened to ourselves, we were shortly rushed out as, time is money . They seemed nice, when I met the drummer or guitarist (can't remember which) I thought 'That's A LOT of piercings!' but it looked pretty cool.

  • @MegaTwiceasnice Piercings? The only one in the band with a piercing (only in his ear I believe) is the drummer- Jukka. :) Niiiceee. Were you guy's shocked with the backing track? I mean, metal plus classical music? :D

  • before the album came out all these clips were strange

  • at 0:40 i thought that was gonna be an intro to a song and thinking it would be one hell of a song if it started that way.

  • 3.37 the hammer of thor!!

  • Metro Voices <3

  • Comment removed

  • I am still praying for a NW concert with live orchestra and choir. T_T And it would be awesome if the same guys who work with them (The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Metro Voices) were with them live. :)

  • @mikewill9511 A totally epic concert it would be D:

  • Now I've heard the album, it's really interesting (and familiar!) to see where all of these parts fit into the individual songs. Especially the wind instrument at the end (can anyone tell me what it's called?) that shows up in "Arabesque". The same applies to the bits that the band recorded at Petrax Studios in Finland, which can also be seen on YouTube. Looking forward to seeing these guys in Leipzig in May :-D

  • @AndyB1286 Its called Zurna. Cheers

  • Can anyone tell me the exact time when this tune that begins at 00:19 and on with the violins plays in Song of Myself?

  • @mikewill9511 it's @ around 3:34

  • @mikewill9511 Yeah it's Song Of Myself at 05:44

  • Best NW album. They have already gotten universal acclaim for such a masterpiece. Keep our wishes coming true guy's!

  • 3:30 : Arabesque (The End)

  • Orchestration at the beginning: Song of Myself!

    Women choir: Song of Myself/Imaginaerum!

    Children choir: Storytime!

    Children laughing: Scaretale!

    Drumming & flute: Arabesque!

  • @6ixpoint5ive Yeah, i'ts Song Of Myself at the end

  • anyone know what song the adult choir is singing??

  • @6ixpoint5ive It's the final slow part of Song of Myself, I think. Sounds like the same chords

  • @6ixpoint5ive and also in Imaginaerum (at the end too)

  • @6ixpoint5ive Imaginaerum, in the part which represents Song of Myself ;)

  • 4:42 Arabesque <333

  • I need this album. Now.

  • @SymphonyofSword2Swan Nicolas is right. It IS Song of Myself.

  • @kiperziitoo It's Song of Myself

  • 0:16 SONG OF MYSELF <3333333

  • heh they start playing Song of Myself :)

  • I dont know if anyone remembers, but back in February, Tuomas made a diary entry on the official Nightwish site. He said "The demo's Pip Williams sent me sound otherworldly!" or something like that, but I think hes right!! Look at the first notes the choir makes at 0:40 Gosh when I first heard that, I was amazed (which is an understatement)

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan I agree. Those who dont like Nightwish just because of Annette are retards. This is magical and beautiful. Who thought metal music could be so touching huh?

  • @mikewill9511 Lol yeah! Metal is truely the best! Its so weird to hear those violinists in the beginning playing without the band! I heard the band and the violinsts together! Wow!

  • Anyone saw Tuomas with glasses? Haha!

  • That childrens choir in Storytime= WOW. PURE nostalgic feeling. T.T TOO beautiful to describe. :)

  • cant wait for the entire album <3

  • I sat beside Marco at Helsinki airport once..thinking..-why the hell does this dude look so familiar?? :D

  • @somesortanaughty Lol!! :D

  • @somesortanaughty Y U NO TALK TO HIM? D;

  • @Olemguy No..sorry myself i did´nt..By the time i realised who he was it was a moment passed by.. So sorry..wish i could say i got a kiss and hug more then anyone..promise.

  • listening to storytime, I heard the children's choir and I was like YES I SAW THE MAKING OF THIS SONG,

  • Guys pls stop arguing once and for all!!!

    Tajra is the past, Anette is the new beginning.

    They are both awesome, in there own way. Tajra wasn't the Holy Grail of Nightwish... All of them were. The same things can apply for now. Every one of them in their own special way make this band as much as epic that it always is... All those who dont like Anette, i mean no one makes u like her, just give here a chance with new album. I think the new single StoryTime is awesome stuff!!! Ty all for...

  • Imagine the kids' reactions when they find out their singing has been backed by a full orchestra, kickass guitar riffs and a badass drum beat. God damn, I am looking forward to this entire album.

  • wwwoooooooooooowww I LOVE NIGHTWISH

  • Comment removed

  • The children are singing Storytime :)

  • @ashleywasp which part?

  • @DiegoSgro on the video they are singing from appr from 2.40 to 3.17

  • @ashleywasp How come we can't really hear them in the final version of this song? Maybe they're low in the mix or something or they just weren't used for it in the end

  • @DarkArtist am 100% sure that is the piece of Storytime. I can hear it. The instrumentl part of this video (the first seconds) are Song of myself and the cildren are sisnging definetly Storytime. Try to listen the song with more attention. You can hear the children at 2:24 of the video ;)

  • @ashleywasp children are singing scaretale too

  • @tmk290 yes, when they are laughing ;)

  • What's a Tarja?

  • @Evaxlacrymosa Haha "Tarja" means "pork" in Hungary xD

  • In other words… Tuomas is the shiet man… THE shiet man!

  • SOOOOO funny,... those guys playing their Sitting Bull drums FROM THE NOTES??!?!?

  • mada Faka .,....This Crazy

    i like u Nightwise

  • tuomas es un compositor de puta madre, nightwish esta mejor que nunka, quiero el disco yaaaaaaa

  • I really like the dude on the left on 0:20 haha, he's really feeling the notes! Heavy duty metal!! |m|

  • 00:17 I'm betting "Ghost River" ;)

  • @Tangakkai Song of Myself. ;)

  • @mikewill9511 yeah true :) figured after listening to the samples ;)

  • Hahaa Karmila with KT shirt on!

  • Come to Greece!! :) :)

  • Me contrata que eu vou lá rir no lugar das crianças! ahha

  • @NicolasNWF thanks for amazing review btw! =) I have one question still: do you remember where the 3:53 moment of the video was on the album?))) Can't even imagine :D

  • @Etiainen95 not from the tracks I've heard, but I haven't got the time to hear the whole album. But my guess is these are percussions for Arabesque :)

  • I CANT WAIT!!!!

  • lol at 0:16 if you sing Coming Undone by Korn it syncs perfectly :D

    random fact :P

  • still cannot believe that choirs at 0:40 are from Storytime, as french reviewers said O_P

  • @Etiainen95 What? That is storytime??? WOW!! :) thank you haha

  • @Etiainen95 actually i was talking about the ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh, ah-ahhh at 1:38 , sung by the children :D But I may not remember well :p

    The beginning of the video is taken from Song 2 of Song Of Myself btw :)

  • @NicolasNWF The people playing the violins in the beginning, thats song of myself? O.o

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan yes it is :)

  • @NicolasNWF Lool nice. How do you know? Song Of Myself is suppose to be crazy. but it doesnt sound like it :S like the description of it explains that the song gets introduced by a huge orchestra going nuts. Idk, it could be! :S We'll just have to wait and see once the album gets released in nearly a month from now (for finlands release anyways. Im pretty sure some songs will be uploaded to YouTube when so)

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan I know because i've listened to the album last week during a promo day in Paris :) Song of Myself is 50% crazy lol : the first part (about 6 minutes) is "big and orchestra", the second part (about 7 minutes) is very calm and slow, with people reading poems.

  • @NicolasNWF You got to hear the whole album? I thought people only heard it in London, Angel Studios?

    wow you are one lucky person.

  • @NicolasNWF And how was the rest of the album? DAMN YOU ARE LUCKYYYY D:

  • so many neumann's :D:D

  • 0:16 hardly 6 seconds of music and it already blew me away!!!

  • Storytime at 0:16? O:

  • @wildragon361 i think it is from ghost river xD

  • Can't people stop mentioning Tarja's name everywhere? xD its creepy@!

  • The soul of this band is Tuomas who wrote almost all the songs of NW. Tarja did nothing but sing what tuomas and the other guys wrote. She did'nt even participated in the compositions.

  • nahhh Guys i know that nw are still kicking asses, but ONLY hearing Tarja made me feel goosebumps :)I am veeeery confident that one day tarja and the other will reunite and when that happens i am going to fly from happines :):)

  • It's fun to see the album's progress.

    By the way, concerning the movie: Did I read well? It was/is being shot at Montreal?! So close...

  • @TpRunelover2008 Yup. It really is being shot in Montreal.

  • @CokedUpPuppy Nice!

  • @wickedpowernoodle I agree. But if Annette studied classical I bet she could pull a perfect soprano.

  • 1:35… mikko is like hagrid and the potter kids

  • are people STILL going on about the whole tarja/annette thing??? oh my god, fuck off. It's coming up to 4 years now, so SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.

  • i think one of the song it will be called: nature in my ear

  • Comment removed

  • @wildragon361 it is in the same key

  • @wildragon361 there's a french review that says it's from Song of Myself :)

  • ESPECTACULAR!!! ^^

  • nightwish's new album is coming to us and you're talking shiiiit here

  • bla bla bla tarja bla bla bla anette bla bla bla stop this shit, big kisses

    THAT CHILD'S CHORUS IS FROM SCARETALEEEEE

  • Just once I'd like to watch a Nightwish video without running into a Tarja/Anette debate.

  • @MSTViper good luck lol

  • Both Tarja and Anette have wildly different voices to each other and they each bring something different to Nightwish, but either way, Nightwish and the music they produce will always be breathtaking. :)

  • That "graveyard march" in the beginning, as Tuomas cited it, sounds fucking awesome!! Cannot WAIT til this christmas and Imaginarium's release!!! :D

  • the album and movie titles were changed because of some spanish company having a trademark on the word "Imaginarium". Sueing them and wasting time over papers in courts is not an option, I guess, otherwise we'll have that album released like a year or more later. Do you want it?

    It's not that the music got changed bacause of the title, though. It's the same NWalbum you'll get. So relax and enjoy life.

  • @xx2n23 Anette is talentless? Nightwish is nothing now? Look at the album sales for Dark Passion Play and try saying that again. It has outsold all of their previous albums including Once. Guess what. Anette will be on the next album too so the guys must not find her untalented at all. I guess you have better judgement than they do? I doubt that.

  • the Tarja trolls are the worst people on Youtube. If you don't like Nightwish, DONT GO ON THEIR VIDEOS. Seriously, I don't dedicate my life to hating on Black Veil Brides or Justin Bieber, so why dedicate so much time to hating Nightwish? Please, go worship your incredibly overrated classical singer elsewhere.

  • Imaginarium is coming out this year!! they announced it on their website a couple of days ago!!

  • @ladyYeniel It can't come out soon enough. I'm ready for some new Nightwish!! Can't wait to see the movie too.

  • @GreenDay1981 I'm really exited too, I hope we get some previews or the track list soon

  • @ladyYeniel I just read that they're changing the title of the album a little to avoid any confusion with stuff already named Imaginarium. It's gonna be titled Imaginaerum or something. That's stupid. Who cares if it causes confusion? Nightwish fans will know what to look for. Why change a simple word to one that people would probably need to write down to remember?

  • @GreenDay1981 omg! imaginarium is not the most likely name to cause confusion. At least I can't remeber any other album or book with that name. Of course theres the movie dr parnassus but thats a completely different name.. Plus there are a lot of things with the word "twilight" in it but nobody cares. Lets hope they don't change it.

  • @ladyYeniel Good point. Maybe Tuomas found out there is an album by some Swedish band named Morifade that's called Imaginarium. Still, it should not be changed. What does Imaginaerum mean anyway? Is it even a word? I guess Tuomas likes being original.

  • @IAmTheAbsoluteBest I was just about to post this but you said it so well. I like Tarja's voice but I don 't like people saying she is the best opera singer because franky she isn't. She's not THAT good and there are times I cringe listening to her. I enjoy opera too and I know that Tarja would be laughed out by professional opera singers. Still she was very good for Nightwish but she wasn't the main ingredient. Tuomas is. He is the one who is irreplaceable.

  • @RagingQuietFury actually tarja does sing in operas and is a professional opera singer. of course that's not the only type of singing she does, but it is obviously carried over in the other music she sings. She is classically trained just like simone simmons, roy khan, and many others why sing in symphonic or power metal bands. It's very common to have someone with this type of training in these sub genres (and some others) of metal.

  • @xxxfantasyhorse. Yes, I know Tarja is trained as an opera singer, I'm just saying that she isn't as flawless as some people insist she is (and I'm not judging her from earlier Nightwish albums because I know she was still developing back then). I've heard better divas with better techniques who may not be as famous. Having said that, let me re-affirm that I do enjoy Tarja's singing. I just hope that she is truely grateful for what Nightwish has done for her career.

  • @RagingQuietFury Very VERY well said! :)

  • @RagingQuietFury That was all completely irrelevant because Tarja is gone, she ain't coming back, and Nightwish is better than ever. It don't matter who the better singer is. They're all just instruments for Tuomas's masterpiece anyway. Long live Nightwish. Yay. 'Kaybye

  • @KokuounoJigoku I think you should re-read what I wrote. I was agreeing and elaborating with someone. I also wasn't comparing the lead singers. I was commenting on how die-hard Tarja fans make her out to be more than she really is. I also said Tuomas was the irreplaceable one. You have obviously misread my post or mistaken me for someone else.

  • @RagingQuietFury Hahah, it's pro'ally 'cause when I read it the post you're replying to didn't show up. Either way though I think it's totally pointless for people to keep talking about Tarja and comparing them 'n such.

  • @RagingQuietFury couldn't have said it better, probably the best post about the entire Tarja debate on YT.

  • NW are happy with Imaginarium,Tarja is happy with WLB,Can you leave both alone and support who you like ?

    There is no old NW or new NW,there is NW from 1996 until they end deal with it.I love them both so much,i don't care who made a mistake if it was Tarja or NW i'm just glad to have their music in my life.Because when Tarja was on NW,people were just fan of her and don't try to say that if it was another member leaving that you would react the same way because when Sami left,there was no drama

  • @nightwish231 So,please stop trying to get an excuse to hate either NW or either Tarja.I am a NW fan since their begin and i will always be,i am a fan of Tarja's solo carrier and i will always be.No matter what you say about them,they will be always making music,Tarja is beautiful and she is an amazing singer,so is Anette.NW are perfect as a band,Can't wait to Imaginarium ! <3

  • this is why i love nightwish, and all the bands tht play live music. they treat music seriously!

  • I loved the old Nightwish but I have to accept the fact that they are still good. They might not be operatic as they were before with Tarja, but they are still theatrical in their approach and very symphonic. THAT'S what I love. They use choirs and orchestra. Sometimes I forget that I am listening to metal, because it's so beautiful! The only thing I would like from them is to record a song in which only the choir would sing. Kind of like what Therion does. :) I AM WAITING.

  • @mikewill9511 Which song does Therion have, where a choir sings?? :)

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan Look up Children of the stone or something from Secret of the runes.

  • Ooh... thanks for showing this! Now I have a lot to look forward to!

  • singing in a really good choir is liek touching heaven

    

  • Nightwish + bri-ish accent. Brilliant

  • I've always thought of choirs as a glimpse of heaven

  • Annette has little talent, little presence, and distracts from the great music...she has little to offer but I still love the boys. Surely you could have made a better choice but I will follow anyway. With Tarja or another suitable singer, this could have been the best Nightwish album ever......

  • Simple answer here die hard fans of Tarja. Either learn to like the new singer or fuck off. The BAND chose Annete and it is the BANDS decision, not yours. They still have plenty fans without you.

  • uff yo creo q ya deberian parar con todo esto de Tarja y Nightwish... yo era una de las tantas q no podia aceptar q cantara otra persona en lugar de Tarja.. pero ya está, ya se fue y no se puede hacer nada .-. adoro las composiciones de Tuomas, es un gran compositor a mi gusto y la esencia de la banda sigue siendo la misma.. Espero muy ansiosa su trabajo chicos!!!

  • I can't wait to listen the vocals!!, now that Toumas knows Annete´s voice, he must have done something amazing for her ti sing <3

  • wow! they keep getting better and better, I can't wait for 2012, this thing will be the most epic thing that they have ever released!! :D

  • @iReNukA "They didn't kick her out there, she left to front a new solo career."

    Nope, they did kick her out in a very crucial and strict way. She said she will leave the band after one more album (and tons of success if brings to both of them), but guys weren't okay with the way things went during the Once tour, so they fired Tarja "in advance", sort of. Because the was no sense in trying to make a good-spirit record when there was no good team spirit amongs the bandmembers themselves.

  • @xx2n23 Your so biased.

  • just good quality music. 2 billion percent quality.

  • I just love those choirs, both children and adults. I can't wait till 2012!

  • @xx2n23 If Anette is so talentless, the guys wouldn't have brought her in. Tarja was just a voice to the band. That's all she was. A voice. Same with Anette. Neither one of them holds any supremacy. They're just human beings. If you don't like the current Nightwish, then don't listen to their newer stuff and go listen to Tarja. *facepalm* Jesus Christ.

  • @CokedUpPuppy  F U!!!!!

  • @potterpuppetfan123 Very mature. Not.

  • OMG.

    If you think that Tarja is NW, you're wrong.

    NW is NW because they make beautiful music and amazing lyrics.

    Anette is a good singer and is very very fun and loveable.

    2 things tarja absolutely lacks.

    as you can hear NW is back better then ever and not with tarja, deal with!

    otherwise, just get the f*ck of this page

  • @Achyuta1988 +1 you are so right

  • @Achyuta1988 what you said!! what he says!

  • @Achyuta1988 Oi, Don't diss Tarja buddy, she's as good a singer as Anette is. They were both good for Nightwish.

  • @JerkWarlord first of all I am not a dude second.

    I'm not dissing Tarja I'm saying the way it is.

    And Tarja was not so good for nw hence tuomas firing her.

  • @Achyuta1988 Bullshit.

    Might I direct you to her letter of dismissal? It stated that she was once good for Nightwish, and that she was a very good, and very admirable singer BUT that since she began getting close to Marcelo, things had changed.

    Thank you, goodbye, and don't diss Tarja.

  • @JerkWarlord I never said she v=was NEVER good for nw I'm saying that she was for some time when tuomas fired her.

    again not dissing tarja just telling ya the way it is

  • Okay. I see no one complaining about Annete here. I only see people yelling at the people who complain.

    This album will be amazing. The Children choir is a nice touch

  • That drumming sounds cool :)

  • (Continued) By nightwish itself i mean the band ideology distinctive metal sounds/instruments. So if you do not like nightwish anymore you are not and never where a nightwish fan, you were a TARJA fan. Therefore tarja does not equal nightwish and i close the anette vs tarja debate. NIGHTWISH FOREVER!

  • Sick of tarja fans saying ''Nightwish is dead'' Really? When they are selling more albums than they ever had? Tarja was never nightwish, tarja was tarja and still is, and incase you didn't know she has a solo career. Nightwish still has the same distinctive symphonic elements and it's still symphonic metal, ok the voice is abit more generic but it isn't pop music. So stop saying anette ruined everthing because she just replaced the VOICE of nightwish, not nightwish itself.

  • I DONT CARE IF THE SINGER CHANGED..I WILL FOLLOW NIGHTWISH TO THE END!!

  • Will you ever stop whining you stupid idiots? Tarja ist not dead.. so go on listen to her und stop spamming each and every Nightwishvideo...

  • Hah, Go look Anette's live vid where she perform fatass leather pants on. Yeah, very sexy grandma:P

  • I'm not gonna say Tarja IS Nightwish and that it's totally ruined because she got kicked out. I'm gonna say that Dark Passion Play was a really bad album compared to the earlier ones like Wishmaster and Oceanborn. Once was really great but I think they used too much orchestral backing tracks for that one... I like to listen to old Nightwish records but live? They're not gonna sound half as good with Anette as with Tarja. So please Nightwish, stop playing old songs live cause that era is over...

  • @JohannesFrykholm tarja is the best for me....and maybe nightwish can have a good sound in this album...but not the feeling in the songs and with the singer , for me is stupid sing only for sing ....is the can transmit everything that old nightwish stop to do since tarja expulsion.......

  • So I drunk right now i can may any mistakes in my posts... AND I CAN'TWAIT FOR IMAGINARIUM...

  • @loriloreen

    Yeah, I understand. need to be VERY drunk if you listen to Anette:P
