This song is the ONLY positive element that has ever come out of the Trail of Tears and other similar instances of racism and mistreatment towards Native Americans.
I am of mixed heritage, though much of my blood is of various Native American tribes. The first time I heard this song, I cried... I knew already of the injustices done to the Natives, but to hear it expressed so powerfully...
So much could have been learned from these people, their beautiful and harmonious way of life. But there was no patience, no tolerance... simply greed. We don't learn from this, we never have. And so, the past repeats itself through us all as every day passes. Terrible.
I just randomly heard this song today. I am Lakota souix(the tribe depicted here). I listen to NW before but never heard this one. I live on a reservation and hear my language everyday and the fact that NW made this dog including our language was just awesome. Makes
@mettalica1017 This is just awesome! The first time I heard this song I shivered just to think about the big injustice and mistakes that people did. We think that this kind of masacre stayed on the past but we are wrong, this kind of thing still happens, but in differents locations... this is sad.
i agree with u DonQuixotec , and i want to ask u something:U like the opera influences in nightwish's songs(if i understand well) but how do u feel about opera in general?Before u answer this PLease listen to an interesting(in my opinion)opera:Maddame Butterfly.Then tell me what u think.Thanks
yes anette's voice is a bit more... humm... fussy. I liked tarja more. I liked nightwish the way they were. I liked opera and metal the way they played. Anette is good too, but I would prefer that they got another girl who could sing opera. I think the new songs would feel much bigger too with orchestra and opera and metal. But, they had to change style so... The music is still very good, but liked it better before. That's just the way I feel about it.
@DonQuixotec I sooooooo agree with you......I really really really can't stand Annette. Her singing is very good, but because Tarja orginially began with this group, its very hard to get used to the music when its direction is completely different. I don't like the "pop" feel that Annette has brought to their music and yes, I would have preferred another opera singer to fill the spot.
@NaeT28 Indeed, I made that comment a year ago. I haven't listened to nightwish in many many months now, and certainly not the new stuff. I was a nightwish fan more than anything, but now I am not even listening to it anymore. Metallica is now my favorite band, and they don't change their style much
Sorry guys,but Anette can't even compare with Tarja. Listen to Tarja and then Anette, it is ridiculus. She is cute girl, but she is not Nightwish.You can better than that!
You can't compare them because they aren't the same type of voice. Tarja is a trained opera singer, Anette isn't. I agree Tarja's voice is gorgeous, and I prefer her singing certain songs more, but Anette's voice is good too. I saw them in concert some months back I didn't think I'd like hearing someone else sing Sleeping Sun, Anette did a great job. You're bias because you've heard Tarja sing so many good songs. I like Anette because she doesn't try to be Tarja, she sings her way and it works.
i heard her singing sleeping sun and i didn't recognize what song was she singing... what an artist: singing in your own maner doesn't mean you have to change the song! like she did with the siren.
Do u expect her to just not sing them then? she cant do the parts in the Siren like Tarja could cuz she isnt trained for tht! so she used her own style instead of avoiding those songs. I personally think she is amazing. I LOVE Tarja and Annette =]
She actuly IS a Mezzo Soprano...u cant argue with fact lol. Btw i said she was a MEZZO Soprano, cnt u read? its different! its below Soprano! so i didnt even say she was Soprano "my friend"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
anette ISN'T a soprano! where did you came up with that? go to the opera and if you see there any voice like anette's you are the GODFATHER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE! in all the years i went to the opera i NEVER heard a soprano of any kind with a pop voice!
....What is wrong with u?? cant u read? I didnt say she was a "Soprano" i said she was a "Mezzo Soprano" if u dnt understand me after this then i give up! they r 2 different things get it? her vocal range makes her a Mezzo Soprano. Geeeeeezzz. Also, i didnt say she sang opera! hw did u get tht frm my comments? AHHHH! she doesnt sing pop either >:( r u calling Nightwish pop now? plz gtfo!
When i was doing my singing training, i was a mezzo soprano (and what a time that was). I understand completely; just remember there are some people who know what they're talking about out there. The rest just THINK they know what they're talking about. ;D Love this song by the way; her voice is just spectacular.
Beautiful song, and the video that you have made has capture what exactly Nightwish is talking about in the song. Kudos!!!!!! Great interpretation of the song
anette se atrevio a cantar esto? no tiene cara(ni voz) escucho nightwish hace poco pero creo que anette no va va mas para within temptation q nigthwish
the video is amazing, just amazing. very professional. i could say that its the original clip of the song if you didnt mention it. not a compliment. tell me the movie please.
I'm not sure about the name, but I think its Trail Of Tears, wich fits very well with the music, once she sings in the chorus "following the trail of tears..."
I love this video!! I still wonder where is the out cry for what has happend to my people and where the monuments to cannonise the victims of the US governments senseless slaughter of my people. When will my people be free?
I totally agree with you, its damn shameful what they have done to my peoples land. But yet they seem to have forgotten what my people had to give so they would have land to live on. But yet my people are still being forced to live in 3rd world conditions just becuase they refuse to give up thier way of life. Land of the Free my fucking ass!!
This is such a beautiful movie to fit the song. Sad though, you really portaryed the song through the video doing a nice mix of live and the native american part.
What movie is the footage in the video from?
