@Massacretalitor Agree, but please even though you don't like Anette as I don't {musicaly speaking} please don't post rude comments. Anette did what everyone would have done! It wasn't her fault....
I never heard a voice as mystical as Tarja's. There will never be a singer that is as good as she is. I'm happy to live in a time where I can hear a voice like that any time that I wish to.
@rakkipallo she was gonna quit the band anyway, and since the band didn't get along it's fully understandable that they didn't wanna record one last album with her. I would go as far as saying they should have replaced her on Century Child, when she had re-trained her voice. The upside of her classical studies is that she sounds much better with acoustic and orchestral pieces like this one, but much worse with metal. Just compare Sleeping Sun with its terrible 2005 remake.
She is great, but yet I cannot say that without Nightwish she is as amazing as she was with Tuomas' music. Her voice was born to sing for Tuomas' music (obviously it's my opinion), they completed each other. Annette is good but she is just a voice like many others..Tarja was the voice of the soul. :( what a pity..
hmmm.....beautifull without expression of other thoughts. Emotional content with her voice is quite a sound to hear. Her accent- something like irish, scottish, or finnish? maybe German? i can't tell, but it makes the music echo into the online streaming.....it's calming and yet it has a dominating sense. I like the instrumental, but the piano sems to dominate the set. interestig, and nice choice of music. =D
I think I love the nightwish version from Oceanborn even better though.
Please refrain from turning that into a massive Nightwish vs Tarja shitstorm.
In fact, to nullify the comment slightly, I will further point out that it is simply a musical preference for this single song - but I actually think Tarja's departure from Nightwish was a tragedy and they are practically nothing without her. But I do prefer their arrangement of this song with her voice over her own.
I just love this version of the song! She sings it more naturally than on the Nightwish version (She was producing a too dark timbre to fit the heavy instrumentals there)... Here is simply fresh...and makes you dream trough fantasy, like the original version did too...
I definetly like both versions... for different moods, of course, But this one is Just Magic, I always have to repeat lol! Tarja learned to give more sensitiveness to what she sings, her voice flows and her timbre is pure Beauty!
I loved her then and i love her now with or without Nightwish, HOWEVER(!) I still think that Nightwish 2 are really good and I like the new style. At least im being honest.
You guys are a bunch of whiners. If you were half the Tarja fans you think you are, you'd have seen her in that interview a month ago where she's still saying she's not getting back with them, that they're happy with their new singer and she's happy solo. Support her and move on or shut up and get the hell over it.
Anyway, I've only heard her solo album version, so thank you for uploading her solo single version. It's very beautiful;=)
@LovingLife411 Many people, like myself, like Tarja more with Nightwish than solo. Even though there's no chance her beeing a part of that band ever again we still can hope. Amazing song, but I personally still like the Nightwish version more. Don't hate me for saying that, that's just my opinion. I respect Tarja and her choices, but I'm not her. I'm a fan, and as a fan I have a chance to hope.
@sansloful I agree that she was somewhat better in Nightwish. But they aren't re-joining, I think it's time to quit asking them to. No, you have a right to like that song better, usually I would too. But I'm picking about her vocal pitches, so I prefer her album version, not this single version. But they're all really good.
@moonchild489 actually this song is a cover of the main theme song from the animated film 'snowman' from 1982 and it was originally written by howard blake. not tuomas. he just adapted it.
Beautiful version..but original is much better because it's more emotional what is logical ; tuomas wrote,the song is about his feelings!!LONG LIVE THE NIGHTWISH!!!!respect to tarja!
TARJA IS THE BEST VOCALIST EVER!!!! but anyway , she's a vocalist not a composer. shes very good in singing the songs are also good enough but tuomas is a lot better in it. may if she works a little on it she'll become good!
this is the best version of this song I've ever heard of..! Tarja, Kiitos For Existing! You have a magic perfect voice! x) I LOVE YOU... AMAZING! AMAZING...
Beautiful music beautiful voice...she is by far one of my favorites...maybe it was a good thing she was dumped my Nightwish...some ppl need a little push so that they can really fly and spread their wings...I feel that there is much more beautiful music coming our way from her...I look foward to it.
Might sound a little silly, but Tarja was the first woman I ever fell in love with. Her voice is so powerful and she's so beautiful! Her husband's one lucky man!
Most versions were better, even and especially Nightwish version.
