[chaoslord456]

I watched LOTR like about 20 times each part...I am never bored when i watch!!!Rly i think that LOTR is the best movie ever...And yes that women on the begining is galadriel....

[odrauding2]

i love how nightwish refers to LOTR in one of their songs, simply perfect

[demagods11]

Прикольно властелина колец всунули)))))

[Mufufuf]

She pronounces swords "swerds" XD

[tinasepo]

Those lyrics and Tarjia's voice give me to chills

[galbmw]

Didier Auriol

[papselrawr]

i think galadriel

[CallistoJohnson]

Who's the female elf with the platinum blond hair at the beginning of this video? I can't remember her name.

[odrauding2]

@CallistoJohnson galadriel?

[spyranteros]

Angels fall first has many masterpeace. With such a successful 1st disc is it possible a band to fail?

[slaughter5150]

LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!! ok this is my favorite band for sure

[kikichan15]

i really love the lyrics, not so much the music though. simply not my favorite kind of music. Great video. :)

[SashkaBlack]

A beautiful video, good work :)

[4caloth]

Just describes why i love fantasy...

[TheMargeramargera]

lord of the rings had the wrong music:))

[JCaineProductions]

@TheMargeramargera

[SparklinMoonlightSky]

@Rawr190594

[Rawr190594]

Who thinks that Legolas is SEXY? xD

[CallistoJohnson]

@Rawr190594 Me!  I do! Yep, Legolas is HOT, HOT, HOT!

[Pennyjyoung]

@Rawr190594  he sure makes me want to be an elf.. LOL

[TragedySoldier]

@Pennyjyoung Elves don't feel as man does thinking people are hot and such forth. At least in LOTR Lore. :P

[TheSunWisdom]

@Rawr190594 One of the sexiest, right after Balian and Will Turner.

[Ssarine]

@Rawr190594 I do! Legolas is Hot!

[PvtCarvahal]

@Rawr190594 (this is my girlfriend...not me) I do I do I do!

[Rawr190594]

[Latem2A]

@Rawr190594 like a blood elf from wow xD

[Rawr190594]

@meduzadark correction: ' Who the fuck is Justin Bieber?'

[xDigitaLKaizokux]

Why fill the comments with gay words just as justin bieber?

If you want to say something about him go make a video , dont ruin awesome youtube video comments .

[TBomb15]

i always wondered how they kept their torches burning in the rain.

[DJBNWF]

not sure why but this just works! NIghtwish and Lord of the rings were made for eachother :)

[bbphnix]

@DJBNWF it might have something to do with the fact that tuomas is a LOTR and fantasy in general fan; nightwish takes a lot of its inspiration from mythology, fantasy and LOTR

[DJBNWF]

@bbphnix Well he does a fantastic job of showing and encompasing it into the songs. Ithink its one of the many reasons that i love Nightwish so much!

[darthedvin]

Awsome song + lyrics + LOTR = Awsomeness!

[42Nightsyesterday]

wait, why does it mention Mielikki a god from dungeons and dragons and then have the intro narration of Ralph Bakshi's lord of the rings in the backround? doesn't anyone find that weired>

[ssbebelushu]

@42Nightsyesterday , actually, Mielikki is a goddess from finish mythology, daughter of Tapio. The developers of D&D just took her and adapted her for their use.

[42Nightsyesterday]

@ssbebelushu Thank you for that bit of information :) but it still doesn't explain why they put that with the LOTR intro

[bbphnix]

@42Nightsyesterday omg, why do you think? it's not about D&D or LOTR it's about FANTASY in general;

[bbphnix]

@42Nightsyesterday all kinds of fantasy, mythology, lotr, folklore.....

[MissfitBunny13]

I love the romanticism of all this <3

[Martijn2011]

put the elves and dwars and everything like that in a animation story and you get shrek!!

[Martijn2011]

i think, singing about dwarfs and elfs is gay!!

[INFLAMES5274]

@Martijn2011 then why would you watch/listen to this when the title is "Elvenpath"??

[Martijn2011]

@INFLAMES5274 I Like Shrek!! my message wasn't negative

[Sayukae]

@Martijn2011 LOL I think you're gay!!

[Martijn2011]

@Sayukae No sorry, Are you?

[Sayukae]

@Martijn2011 Lol you stupid person

[Martijn2011]

@Sayukae No sorry, Are you?

[bbphnix]

[Martijn2011]

i think, singing about dwarfs and elfs is gay!!

[the1heartagram]

why do you need to say that name even here?

[danijelciuss]

1:05 for the win :D

[TehTroj]

What an amazing, soft and warm voice at start of the video o_O

She doesn't have to sing to sound wonderfully ;d

[monpapad]

4 people probably don't like the movie(THE LORD OF THE RINGS) there's no other explanation for that masterpiece....:))))

[etocihc]

An elf (plural elves) is a being of Germanic mythology. The elves were originally thought of as a race of divine or semi-divine beings endowed with magical powers, which they use both for the benefit and the injury of mankind. In pre-Christian mythology, they appear to have been divided into light elves and dark elves, difficult to delineate from the gods on one hand and the dwarves on the other.

[MrArcherykid]

@etocihc they now have two "species" of elves the light elves are called faerie while the dark elves are called drow the faeries are thought to be the children of gods while the drow are considered the spawn of demons it's rather interesting to read about this mythology.

[YukoHoon]

@MrArcherykid Aren't you mixing things? The Elves/Dark Elves duality was more an Norse myth, while "drow" outside the actual modern use in fantasy works, is a troll-like fairy from Scottish folklore (from the Orkney and Shetland Islands), and are also called trow. And I'm not going to start about the Aos Si. Please, do not mix mythology with fantasy novels.

[Sayukae]

@etocihc I've always heard that in Norse mythology the dark elves were more like dwarves and the light elves were the Vanir, or a race of gods.

[Glorfindelelendil]

@etocihc a very big part of what you said is derrived from JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth.

[ArcanaOnline]

@Glorfindelelendil Actually, etocihc is right, Tolkien got a major part of his inspiration from Norse mythos.

[TheVoitel]

@ArcanaOnline Actually, Tolkien is a Philiologist and studied languages like the old english, gothic and scandinavic ones. For that he was able to create own languages. But to say that the Norse mythoi were an inspiration would be kind of wrong. You should say he oriented on those. If you read the "Edda" you may find all the dwarfen's names of "The Hobbit" listed in exactly the same order. (You may also encounter the dwarf "Gandalfr").

[ArcanaOnline]

@TheVoitel Yeah, that's kinda what I was trying to say. Thanks for elaborating!

[The7thsonof7thson]

@TheVoitel Yeah, Tolkien even studied Finnish so he could read "Kalevala" on it's own language

[seonaxus]

@etocihc were the germanic elves similar to the irish tuath de dannan?

[TheVoitel]

@seonaxus You can't really say that, for theres hardly anything known about it, but I don't think it's that way. But the old german word is "Alb" (the "new" word is "Elf", which comes from the old english word "aelf") and the norn word is "Alfr".

[DeepShadow1000]

what is elvenpath ?

[TheHTAA]

@DeepShadow1000 Elvenpath is...is...oh man....You like fantasy? do you write stories? ^^; When she says she walking down this path its like she living in the moment of these characters and this story. Something like that...^^; its really hard to explain unless you're a fantasy nut.

Or maybe that wasn't what you ment at all?

[DeepShadow1000]

@TheHTAA so its like tuomas gave that name Elvenpath to his fantasis?like his own place where he's able to dream ? :)

[TheHTAA]

@DeepShadow1000 Something like that, yeah.

Its like when you read a fantasy book and you get so into it you start to "go on the adventure" with them. I know of a few books where it actually takes me a few minutes to come back to reality.*^^*

[TheSunWisdom]

@DeepShadow1000 Whatever you want :)

[bbphnix]

@DeepShadow1000 probably a path in one of the forests inhabited by elves in LOTR saga... like mirkwood or lothlorien; it's also a metaphor in this song for a road going from reality to fantasy and magic;

[daromekie]

am sick of this shit....

how come i find that fag's name here??

this is about Nightwish...

IF YOU WANT THAT MOTHERFUCKER BIEBER DOWN THEM STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM. !!

[DeepShadow1000]

what is elvenpath ?

[kaberisisidoros]

the intro from 0 14- 24 reminds me crash bandicoot XD

[TheHTAA]

I'm a BIG LotR and Nightwish fan....this vid is a heaven sent msterpiece.*^^*<3

[LunazxTerra]

@TheHTAA Hell yeah!

[Scubaskot]

[dwarfdance]

Listen this song several times and you will change your idea about the heavens.

You would like to go to Elvenpath after you die.

\m/ \m/ , Tarja come back :X

[WildLandRoockie]

my favorite part was from 0:00 to 4:34

[Tazzarinaa]

I wanna go on the Elvenpath

[rocklikeyoumeanit]

Dear God, Please bring back Bob Marley, In return you can have Justin Bieber. Amen.

[erzsebethb]

my Song!!!!! ELVENPATHHHHH;;;;excelenteee,,­,para dedicarsela a mi segundo planoo,,,,,The elf folk is calling me!! Introduced me to her old friend home gnome,,, i want an gnome :))

[SweetDeath777]

Lots of Tuomas songs are inspired by LOTR and other stories/books/movies...

[Wraithstrike19]

eh the intros not my taste... but the rest is just awesome

[RavenMondragon]

This is the best song sung by Tarja imo. Maybe it's because I truly love Lord of the Rings too (A)

[skatepunkzero]

I like this Nightwish so much better, they actually sounded amazing. Now they only sound ok. The only new song I thought was amazing was the Islander(which is really amazing) This was just awesome

[Wraithstrike19]

@skatepunkzero I aint listened to a lot of Nightwish yet... but ur right, Islander was a simply awesome piece

[suetus]

really amazing and epic video :))

[WinterMyth]

3 Justin bieber fans didn't like this masterpiece.

[redl3ss]

@WinterMyth cut it out with the Bieber fans crap... Bieber fans don't even know what Nightwish is! Is it so bad to listen to metal but not to Nightwish?

[etocihc]

@WinterMyth

Justin Bieber is gay

[NormalKidsBoringLife]

@etocihc Justin Bieber is a girl.

[Gbmnfr]

@etocihc yes

[ADyingFaith]

@etocihc And that wud be a bad thing?

[Daren1988]

@etocihc

ok...... idk if he's gay or not.... and i think gay ppl will be offended if u identify bieber as one of them... at least gay ppl are original lol

[viktorpedia1]

@etocihc Thank you captain obvious :-D

[viktorpedia1]

@etocihc Thank you captain obvious

[lanzettaretamales]

@etocihc Ahhhh!! Paren de decir que Justin Bieber es gay, para ser gay hay que ser hombre jajajaja XD Nightwish manda

[underoathkid95]

@WinterMyth Do not speak of that untalented wretch!! >:O

[evilass334]

@WinterMyth you destroyed the song by mentioning his name....good job

[NightwishLover2012]

Bilbo, Sparhawk goblins and the pixies!

[Multiversalismo]

Great Lyrics on original video is the greatest job anybody can do. Keep on doing it and thanks for sharing. My students really enjoy this way of reinforcing the learning of the EFL. Greetings from Ecuador-South America. God Bless YOU and your job.

[esiline]

Tapio, bear-king, ruler of the forets! Go bear! XD

[starXelfXyeshua]

I find it fascinating that a Finnish lady sings this considering that Quenya and Sindarin are based on Finnish language or supposedly based on it anyway...

[AnastaciaPrihodko]

=3 Omg! I just love her accent :3 I will always be a true "old nightwish fan" And a true Tarja Turunen fan i'll support her! I think the band need to tell Tarja that they are sorry for the way the "threw" her out! And if I were Anette i would visit Tarja and say "I'm sorry for the way you were "kicked" out of the band, You have a great voice and i really hope there's no hard felling between the two of us" that way she also shows RESPECT!

[starXelfXyeshua]

i long for the place my heart can only recall in the night, the place from whence i came, the place i will never again know....

[JakobusMaximus]

too much from gay-ass lotr movies. don't get me wrong, the books suffer no rivals, the movies are retarded.

[TheNightmare5589]

i just love nightwish and the dam film

[HatsuneSan]

Tarja was so Great ! voice from heaven.

[smokey123465]

...i know this is the same band but its a sort of different style of music...i like it and so should allyou nightwish lovers

[TheOtakuMAX]

HOLY. CREEPING. EPICNESS!!!!!!!! WIN!!!!

[SlovenCathrin]

do u know why i can't download this song? it can't show up on my comp!

[MercuriusWarrior]

i like this song because it sounds a bit powermetal like :p

[TheBazman111]

This has definetly got a lord of the rings feel to it fabulous song and video

[5Debby]

its really a wonderful band! :D

[AriochStarr]

I adore this song; I got their album Highest Hopes, and I seriously can't stop listening to this one song out of all of them!

[EddieRowan]

legolas ftw

[Piraka1997]

haha! Lord of the Rings xD Funny!

[EvilLittleMonsterMe]

@BiggestRubiksNoob They're oliphaunts in the books. Favorite movie quote by Gimli ever, "That still only counts as one."

[Heliox4PL]

And someone in Nightwish read Tomes of Elenium (in lyrics there is Sparhawk main character of this books)

[Elleningers]

epic:D:D

[cloudednox]

I guess Nightwish are LotR-Fans... ^^

[L0trdude]

@cloudednox Well this isn't the official video, i think. I am, for sure =) And Nightwish is pretty cool too, though i like Anette (the new singer) more than Tarja. Man i'm proud of being finnish. Thats rare, it's pretty crappy country. Mainly 'cause it's so darn cold...

[TheOwlAddict]

WHAT THE FUCK IS HOME GNOME?!
