Nightwish - The Islander (Live Hamburg, 28.09.2007)

[Gianluigi01Cornet]

hey guys.I have a folk music contest this summer and me and my band don't know what to choose...would this song be a good one for this music style?

[YountPower]

Sort of...why not try Rapalje's version of "William Taylor"?

[downassjuggalo1605]

i love this song. its perfect.

[snootywaiter]

My favorite song from DPP ^_^

[gatogordo1990]

great song. sorry about my previous post, i was just in the wrong place (i found very funny what Tapsa 999 said). Anyway, very good song!

[joRammzinski]

best voice

[JOEySvK]

omg he has got amazing voice

[Hankkisx]

This is awesome. .

[EyeOfLyger]

This is the song everyone took their lighters out for.

[EternalMusican]

I think that tuomas was loving tarja and when she married with arg. man he wrote letter to kick tarja

[paytheDOCTOR]

um yeah,tuomas writes all nightwish songs,hes been doing so since the bandd started.

[PeAwZ]

So Good <33

[ensiferumfan]

Thanks for the awesome video :)

[copilul1]

<3 Marco has such a beautiful voice.. one of my fav songs from DPP

[nooooobi]

ah, mein lieblingssong vom neuen album....da singt annette nämlich nicht =)

[AyashaVo92]

doch aber nur beim refrain leise mit

[kunstsneeuw]

genau.. und da passt es

[xxNightwishxxFreak]

genau da hört sichs genial an =)

aber ich versteh au nicht was ihr gegen Anette habt.... sie hat genauso eine GENIALE stimme..... und viele Lieder in DPP sind auch ... so wie dieses .... GENIAL.....

[AyashaVo92]

geht mir genauso ;) leider ist nightwish ziemlich kommerziell abgestempelt - jedes zweite emo- oder gothic-kiddie läuft mit nightwish-shirts rum oder hat von denen schon was gehört - zumindest vom neuen album. Das nervt! Nicht, dass ich ihnen den Erfolg nicht gönne, aber Metal gehört einfach nicht so an die oberfläche.

[xxNightwishxxFreak]

mhm.......

also......

i-wie kann ich dich verstehn ^^

warscheinlich denkst du auch das ich so ein kiddy bin, oder ? ^^

[AyashaVo92]

kA ich bin auch total nightwish-freak und kein solches kiddy - lässt sich doch einfach rausfinden oder?

[xxNightwishxxFreak]

stimmt ^.^

[katja999]

this song is amazing =) totaly love it :)

[Lodeon0mfg]

Lol.. Best song live from new album .. might be cause marco is a fking genious<3

[devoratur]

omg this song is such a awesome song!!!

i love it!!

<3<3<3

[SirThinks2Much]

I LOVE HIS VOICE!

I hope he'll sing like this more often and not screaming...though I like his screaming too.

[wolfo714]

To Oncel Nightwish is in no way emo

[mouth1for3war]

the inslader is one of the best songs! and he sings it beautifuly! marco rules!! nightwish ( even with annete...look at her hair...omg) rules!!! nightwish forever!!!

[soffa]

I love this song!

[VladimirSkaletsky]

If Marco and Anette have a kid, will he sing like a combination of the two? Because that would rule.

[Anturajalka]

Oh I would like to hear that too... Or Marco and Tarja would be nice too. Maybe we should wrote to them x)

[tomik524]

and what if we´ll combinate tarja, anetta and marco??? that would be nice :P

[kristiina05]

I love this! Marco you are awesome! Live song, he is really talented which is of course nothing new..

[GORROTICO]

the best night wish ever!!

[esperance1991]

I will marry him. :D

[ValerioMean1990]

beautiful!!!

*claps**

[Seriphyn]

One of my favourites, this is a wonderful song. Thanks for posting this up! Can't wait to see them in March up London! Anyway, fellow fans, check out my own music video I made of this awesome band.

[Perdonikel]

[fap777]

[1SkyWard1]

[addasha]

[rsvensk]

[normantteri]

[vivalospeffoz]

beautiful song

[Daedalus]

Hats off to Marco.

[MetalMajesty666]

It's very beautiful song... Marco sing awesome!!!

I love that!

[stogostogo]

This song has it all. Simply the most brave band nowadays. Takes a lot of guts to put this, PPT and last of the wilds on the record that should make them stars.

[adamokrasinski]

Perkele! this song is awesome beautiful and i think this is the best track in all album

[AnjaRawlings]

Beautiful

[Nebulation69]

This song is a triumph- A rose from the pain which surrounded the band when Tarja left.

Long live Nightwish.

[goddamsatan]

Fantastic song, awesome album. Heavy, operatic, with a lovely Celtic touch as in this song. Anette's voice blends better with Marco's. Would love to see them live with the full choir and orchestra that the use for this album. That would be something!!!!

[josette86]

I love this song

[adamokrasinski]

awesome this track is amazing

[auroradelioncourt]

beautiful

[seriousx9]

she has an awesome voice for these folkloric songs

[milj00na]

Oncel,get outta here. It's the most epic album ever :) Marco is very good,if he belongs to Nightwish,but he is in Tarot too. But stop that,it's Dark Passion Play,and it's not a pop/emo band IDIOT. YOU PISS ME OFF. GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE,NIGHTWISH IS A GREAT BAND.

[Haleth20]

I hope you are joking. Do you even know what emo means?

This kind of music is just beautiful, with awesome lyrics.

And what the hell is a tarot?

[whitermage]

Tarot is Marco's band, where he's the singer. It's actually not bad at all.

[wolfo714]

umm wow do you have any idea what emo is? doesn't seem like it...

[voltaspeeder17]

I think Anette drunk a few beers so far, like Marco always do, so she wasn't nervous, and she sang great. We have to understand her, this is one of her first gig with new band :)

[voltaspeeder17]

Woow. Great song and great performance of Marco :)

[Chishannicon]

This is quite possibly my new favorite Nightwish song... Well, tied with "Ghost Love Score," anyway.

[TearsOfAnAngel6]

wow finaly good you anette

she is singing good this song

but others songs like nemo, i wish i had an angel leave to tarja!!!!!!

[253Woot]

TeatsOfAnAngel .. i think see aced Wish i had an Angel is my favorite song and she made me like it more.. Nemo I dont think it would should right with anyone just cuz it is a hard song.. But she did Good not perfect but defiantly good

But other then that.. Yea Anette!

[acumashindorballomu]

nah anette sings good in wish i had angel

but she should work more on nemo

[jolien29]

They do this perfect! Keep going NW

[damslam]

yay! marco!

[SARpinstripe]

a great song.i love it!

[Whityte]

Aaaaah, enfin un bon morceau !

Après le renvoit de Tarja, ils n'auraient dû garder que Marco tiens ! ^^

[rewbel89]

" all music by Tuomas Holopainen EXEPT:

"The Islander" by marco Hietala"

[253Woot]

Marco wrote this one? I never knew that.

[SilverAsakura]

marco rules!!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG!

Amo esta rola...

[ripper206]

my bad i should have said marko "composed" the song....music....notes. anyway he seems to have some great music ideas....hope to hear more from him

[konked]

You might know this already, but you could try and find the Tarot albums.

[TurmionLilja]

One of the best new songs in my opinion. I have always loved Marco's voice and the song is very emotional.

[Ozbeach]

this is a great song i really like it i luv marcos voice

[RagnarokNCC]

A great song. To clear up the confusion though, when they say members of the band wrote the songs they mean the music. Tuomas added the lyrics once most of the music for Islander And Whoever was completed. There's an interview on his website somewhere talking about it.

[Trollina666]

Marco wrote the lyrics also.

[StarUnreal]

Nobody except for Tuomas wrote any of the lyrics on Dark Passion Play. It says so in the CD booklet and Anette also has stated this in an interview.

[tapsa999]

Tarja Turunen wrote the song and the lyrics. (Some guy named Cabuli paid me to post this).

[Markux16]

omg. this song is by tuomas.. not tarja :D

[AyashaVo92]

wrong again xD this song is actually by Marco! tuomas had just a few look on it and worked a bit on it, but once it was marcos song xD usually tuomas writes the songs ;)

[angelelemmire]

I thought marco wrote the song but tuomas wrote the lyrics. At least that's what it says in the booklet on Dark Passion Play. Tuomas writes all the lyrics and almost all the music.

[angelelemmire]

I thought marco wrote the song but tuomas wrote the lyrics. At least that's what it says in the booklet on Dark Passion Play. Tuomas writes all the lyrics and almost all the music.

[gatogordo1990]

hahahaha. didn't you realize it was a joke guys?

[DeZmoND676]

Marco rules!!

[arhat82]

The words are from Marco like the music, or Tuomas wrote them??

[hiegadeil]

Tuomas wrote the lyrics, as always.

[ripper206]

Marko wrote The Islander!!!!!!!!

[hiegadeil]

And you saw that where?

Because my "Dark Passion Play" pretty much says "All lyrics by Tuomas Holopainen". The music was composed by Marco, but not the lyrics.

[darksideofthemoon28]

i this song is so sweet... lol

[Stupesc]

wow! so folky =)

[thiagovalmore]

One of the best songs from dark passion play

[TarjaHolopainen]

I think it's the most honest song from Dark Passion Play...

[Esniesn]

beautiful

[Idsart]

that one is so beautiful =)

[darkX15]

It reaches so so deep in me...

[Darkmaster250]

One of my favorite songs from Dark Passion Play, It looks like an Irish folksong, more than amazing, I love the voices

[lulalely]

it sounds like an irish folksong but songs don't have a look

[Darkmaster250]

you're right

[stogostogo]

a great song from marco, great lyrics from tuomas and those vocals starting from "princess" you know who... This is one of the main reasons I just love Nightwish...

[guimelo17]

very nice!
