Nightwish - The carpenter

[RolandDeschain1]

Tarja looks so young, cute and chubby here.

[AdamLambertAddict96]

When she says "OF Mankind" I get chills all through my body.

[90nnaGetYa]

the new woman is not good

[IvanNightwisher]

Tuomas has a voice that... I don´t know, is not so good... but sounds great, unique ^^ ... Long Live Nightwish... Hail Holopainen... Hail Turunen... Hail Vuorinen... Hail Hietala... Hail Nevalainen... Anette's not so bad, but she doesn´t fit in this comment ^^

[derkommissar1917]

@IvanNightwisher Marco wasn't part of the band when "The Carpenter" was recorded, either. As far as Tuomas' singing, I understand why he quit doing it, but for some reason, it works here. I love the song, although it took me forever to figure out what I think Tuomas is saying...lol

[IvanNightwisher]

@derkommissar1917 Yes, I know, it was Sami... I guess I didn´t remember it when I commented xD ... I love this song too... I don´t know why so many people, even Nightwish' fans dislike

[LittleMissUchiha]

Tarja :DDDD !!!!

will love her forever!!!

[DrA7medMo7eb]

this intro is awesome :)

[Sitexful]

I love this guitar at begining ♥

[t3nsh1x]

... ufff, the angels fall first my friend, the demons later and finally...... the mankind.

[473kittycat]

@t3nsh1x but demons are what angels become after they fall

[fernanda1929]

a unica canção que o Tuomas canta

[AsaliahSexyBoy]

the clip is awful but nice song

[zuzanka3rozinka]

Hmm... Tuomas sounds funny but its so sexy :D btw I just study carpenter :D (I am a girl but it´s my dream, love it :) so favourite song :D)

[johandrea92]

Tuomas' voice is barely audible... would be pretty for another genre of music :D

Go T!

Disclaimer: I belong to team Tuomas!!!! <3 LOL

[StelizaAaA]

what year is this (both the video and the song)?

[maark1989]

@StelizaAaA it's 1997

[StelizaAaA]

@maark1989 thanks :)

[WishmasterTheDark]

Majestic OLD NIGHTWISH! Divine purity...

[Argean]

I, like most sensible nightwish fans, refuse to listen to anything from them that doesn't include Tarja. Anette just isn't nearly the singer.

[bubalicious2xx8]

Wow, Tarja looks so different here!

I love this song, probably one of my favourites. Tarja and Tuomas sound amazing together. <3

[shulatodeadman666]

tarja y nightwish lo mejooooor no me gusta para nada anette

[o0PrincessofTears0o]

Super! ^^

[asumakkusu]

12 idiots!!!

[BlizzardMoonDragon]

Not my fave but DEFINITELY my 2nd fav. Tarja and Tuomas <3 <3

[dimaskodim]

The best song of nightwish.............

[Draaaaganaaaa]

probably my fav nightwish's song. i'm in looooooooove.

[999666tutu]

his song and yes, yes to life and a singer.Long life to Nightwish!

[aatam1la]

What the Hell?! It is supposed to last six minutes! Where is the rest of the song?

[LeniVotesForRock]

this is one great song with wonderful music and tuomas has a beautiful voice....... awwwwww!!! I wonder why he's no longer singing, even with marco in the band??? and while i usually prefer anette to tarja, i absolutelly love tarja in the earliest albums and lives, and especially in this song!!!!!!!!!!!

[khyve313]

tarja was so fat XD

[MrsLesleyOlivia]

This music is great.

Nightwish with Tarja is fantastic, but without Tarja it's nothing.

[IzayoiArwena]

@MrsLesleyOlivia Yeah, I agree, Tarja's not there anymore, but she still is for me. Nightwish without Tarja is not Nightwish. Anette would better sing in The Rasmus.

[MrsLesleyOlivia]

@IzayoiArwena You're right.

Anette is not a bad singer but songs like Wishmaster,Wish I Had An Angel is not for her voice.

[IzayoiArwena]

@MrsLesleyOlivia Yeah, they're not for her.

[MrsLesleyOlivia]

@IzayoiArwena It sounds so bad when Anette try to sing some songs like Tarja.

[maark1989]

@IzayoiArwena i'm soooo with you on that. Anette is ok, they make great music now as well, but it's just not THE Nightwish i fell in love with.

[IzayoiArwena]

@maark1989 Yes, Anette is ok, but not in Nightwish, her song with The Rasmus was awesome

[heartflowergirl]

Is Tuomas singing this? His voice is beautiful!

[xmad999]

best band ever

[nightwishRULESme]

@xmad999 totally agree! <3

[Aliouxie12]

I hate all the religious crap in here, but the song is beautiful. I love Tuomas!

[Beledal]

@Aliouxie12 Well I hate the crappy CG but you don't hear ME complaining.lol jk!

[ManiacHate]

Wow... It's sounds so amazing, when Tarja and Tuomas sing together!

[antonsdefrancua]

Who is singing male part?

[chogall22]

it is the excellent tuomas himself singing the male part

[antonsdefrancua]

Thanks, I love this song and I didn't know that Tuomas has so light and beautiful voice!

[LilDemon147]

this album is the only one where tuomas (the keyboarder) actually sings... he also writees all the music

[GtaRockt]

This song fucks all the other songs straight in the ASS.

I love it!

[khfani]

It's great to see Nightwish's first music video ever! :D

[gladiatrixangel]

Wow!! Tarja has obviously lost a lot a weight!! She looks gorgeous either way though :)

[KnightofPhantasm]

Nah it's bcs of her hairstyle and that traditional hat she's wearing but she still looks attractive and very pure looking =D

And ofc we have another Annete vs Tarja encounter. I'd just like to say I like both singers and I don't like to compare them. I equally respect Tarja's and Annete's voice. And why do people always have a great nose for searching bad things, instead you could focus your energy on something that's accully positive.

[UihaAkiko12]

@KnightofPhantasm Lol, this. Totally agree.

[Schattenbluete]

wow, Tarja has changed...

but why do you never see the rest of the band in this video?

[inukikyo89]

The video was originally filmed with the whole band, but Tuomas and some other guy (someone over the video, I think) didn't like it.

[94albireo]

They all were completely else.

[TheLunaticAsylum]

ok...

Is it me or has tarja a bigger face here?

Not That i have a problem with that. =O

[TheUchijamadara]

Wtf, i really hate this fucking revality vs tarja and anette, anette is more newbie but she need help, she´s the new singer of nightwish and she need entusiasm. We cant say * She´s A bull Of shit*!, becuase she has a really nice form of sing, prbally tarja was pretty better but now the singer is anette and she need help, no sadness

[TheLunaticAsylum]

hmhm I agree.

But I'm still sad by the idea that I can never see nightwish with tarja again.

[coolagenta1]

@EndOfDeceive.

You mean Tony Kakko?

[EndOfDeceive]

I love Tuomas´ voice. Can´t understand why he don´t sing on the other NW tracks. Nothing against Marco, he´s a great man with a great voice, but Tuomas sounds more mystical and would fit very good to a few NW songs.

"Once upon a troubadour", "astral romance" and "beauty and the beast" are very great songs sung by him and tarja.

[Stephen3Asp]

@EndOfDeceive i thought beauty and the beast was sung by a guest singer from sonata arctica... the original vocals are by tuomas???

[EndOfDeceive]

On the live version it was the guy from sonata arctica, yes, but the original was by tuomas - he said one time that he doesn´t prefer to sing live.

[masterfluffypants]

wow.

they sure came a long way.

listen to this, then listen to wish i had an angel

[myhomiegoten]

then listen to Bye Bye Beautiful...

[88LittleFairy88]

Yeah, but Bye Bye Beautiful is performed by Anette... :(

[myhomiegoten]

yeah, but thats my point, they have made it a lot farther than Wish i had an Angel, because even after that they dropped their singer (Tarja) and got Annette, nothing against Annette, shes marvelous, im just saying there are lots of more recent songs that can show how far they've come.

P.S. i think Annette is good at singing HER songs, but when she sings the songs that were meant to be sang by Tarja i dont think she does too well.

[88LittleFairy88]

Yeah ok... They've come really far and I've got nothing against Annette too (she sings ok), but I don't know. I prefer the ''old'' Nightwish and feel really bad 'cause Tarja's not in the band anymore. You know... f.e. I'd really like to go on their concert, but if they ever come in Croatia, I doubt I'll go.

[88LittleFairy88]

And I know that my previous comment is kinda based on ''prefering'' those two singers and it's not the theme we started but... XD

[joseclaudionunes]

Sensacional

[HellFire2034]

toumas sings better then marco :D

[TheAdorabelle]

So this song is about Jesus?

[alexbuggenum]

Yeah I think so too, but not in the way that omg jesus is great and stuff you know?

I think it's about Jesus starting as an ordinary man, A Carpenter.

Maybe even just seeing Jesus as a carpenter who got too much attention.

[yearim666]

I'm not Christian, but have always been fascinated by ''The Carperter'' (Jesus); this song is beautiful to honor the memory of an admirable man.

[TheSpoilll]

хм... вот это найтвиш!

[LITYOFUL]

claro que es tuomas quien canta este tema, bueno o almenos es lo que yo pienso

[Al3xfarq]

Is Tuomas the one singing in this? :P

[burmasaurus]

Yup, that's Tuomas.

[thomasLmack]

yes that is tuomas in the one of the few recordings of a song that he sings on

[MrLina777]

its not true that you will not go to heaven if have on the Father only and if that thing is true how about those person whom have not know the Son are they in to hell?

[Powerboy777]

1:17 she's yawning xD

[NipponSherry]

Love that song <3

And the mixture of Tuomas' & Tarja's voices.

[VelvetTearsNana]

tarja looks really funky in this video

[Phantom13137]

No doubt that they have christian influences (Eastern Orthodox) but they are hardly a christian band either. Overall, their variety is what is perhaps one of their best qualities.

[Pholus]

Erm, Tuomas is a Lutheran as far as I know, though not necessarily a religious one. If you have other information I'd be curious to hear. Only 1,1% of Finns are Orthodox after all...

[Phantom13137]

Could be. I just sort of assumed because I thought that a Mandalion was strictly Eastern Orthodox as in End of All Hope. I've certainly been wrong before though.

[Jarzka1990]

Good song.

[juanpuol]

Beautiful song

[000Mental000]

to get back on topic:

my god, i can't believe they had the balls to release this song... Tuomas is SO far off key it's insulting

[Jeromy2]

oh well, it adds character

[Ludde365]

Is Nightwish a Christian band?

[1LuvsTimoK]

Nightwish is not a christian band.  tuomas (the founder/keyboardist/lyricist of the band) has his own personal beliefs and who know what they are. :D

[Ludde365]

Ahh. Okay. :)

[Danilosoulsaver]

He believes in God and he's wearing a Cross, I think he's Christian. Nightwish isn't Christian band for sure, but Toumas and Tarja (now Anette) are Christians!!!!!

[Invicible91]

REALLY? THAT'S AWSOME!

[Danilosoulsaver]

Yeah!!! I love that fact,too..........:-)))))

[Invicible91]

yup!

[LudgeONRS]

I'm pretty sure Tuomas isn't actually christian, however he does use lots of chrisitan symbolism in his songs.

[Danilosoulsaver]

Maybe he's not REAL Christian, but he said that he believes in God and he's wearing a Cross, that proves something,right :-)

[AngryBob4213]

True, but believing in God and wearing a cross doesn't get you to Heaven. I really hope Tuomas is a "real" Christian. I would really hate for him not to go to Heaven. :(

[Danilosoulsaver]

Well, it's not up to us to judge, it's up to God,by the way, I'm Orthodox Christian:-)))))

[marri1994]

Well,if it's that way not many of us are going to heaven and god is but a mother's f*ck

[AngryBob4213]

I meant that only believing in God won't get you there. Now, if you also believe that He sent Jesus down to save us/atone for our sins and accept His forgiveness as well, then you should be ok. :)

[JTheTwiztidNightwolf]

Nightwish a christian band??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! No way!!!

Here's a lyric from Dark Passion Play...

"I fuck up everything but let me explain,

some day you shall be free,

Panting and weak"...from Master Passion Greed

[Danilosoulsaver]

Nightwish Gethsemane:

Toll no bell for me FATHER..........

.....Prayed more than thrice for you to see,

the wolf of loneliness in me, not my own will but yours be done...

My Lord weeps with me

(You wake up, where's the tomb?

will Easter come, enter my room).....

Without you the poetry in me is dead... yes there is a way, like it or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[babylon333]

I still love this song and for ever will.Good old Nightwish...>with Tarja

[NightwishStrength]

very different agreed!

but each band has his beginning!!

They started now they are biggest stars ever

\m/

[MissRage1986]

Tarja was only like 19 or 20 years old here and Nightwish had just started out so it's no wonder she looks so different and they sound so different. Very baby faced.  She turned 32 just over a week ago. Still young.

[VideoGamer945]

sucks, they kicked her out, she was my fav

[TheMistressButterfly]

How is the male singer? He sounds so gentle.

[horatiowack]

it's Tuomas!

[sevrinaanastasia]

I love this song, its actually pretty nerdy to me, but Nightwish is one of my favorites and I think this song is really catchy!

[enalls]

They sure have come a long way.

[abdul398614]

ummmm I guess he died from that job.

[IceValkyrie18]

good song but Tarja looks so sad :(

[xSnowWhiteQueen13x]

She looks very different to now. xD

But this was a while ago.

I <3 tuomas :)

[SalandFindles]

You mean, "She looks very different 'from' now."

[xSnowWhiteQueen13x]

lol. yes thanks !

haha.

[SalandFindles]

.....np

[Sellsche]

oh my god!

is this tuomas?? <3

[liveforlife2494]

Yep. He sang for some of the songs in Angels Fall First, which this is from.

[richterduzer]

didn't know nightwish have songs with christian lyrics

[allthesametakemeaway]

chirstian lyrics are typically in support of christianity, this song isnt against it but it isnt for it either

just cuz theyre about christianity doesnt mean theyre christian

[xGothTinchOx]

la cancion esta buena.. algo..

el video est horrible xD

pero bue...

[Youboutchou]

It's Tuomas singing?

[allthesametakemeaway]

yes

[VladGLX]

TUOMAS SINGING LMAO!

i love him!

[cd4all]

is true that this song is with children of bodom?

[Dutters23]

It was released on demo with a song by CoB, but its all nightwish(old nightwish anyway :P)

[NakeRtHeRoCkEr]

it was not a demo...it was a single;)...cob have made red light in my eyes for their single

[demonblackprince]

OwO

[Rinoa119]

este es el unico video q sacaron del cd angels fall first??

[tarjaww]

Afortunadamente si jajaja

[Rinoa119]

jajajajjjajajaja xD

pero no se, hay canciones mas buenas en ese cd, por ejemplo the beauty and the beast o angels fall first :S por q esa? xD

[tarjaww]

Es muy buena pregunta, y es que es cierto, habiendo temas mejores en el àlbum eligieron uno tan normalito.

Pero pues igual hace demasiado tiempo de eso.

Fueron mejorando a la hora de hacer videos :p.

[darkbaital]

ami me gusta le video lo que pasa esque a tarja no s ele oye mucho, con eslep sun primero hicieron un video y luego hicieron otro mas medeival que me gustaba mas, este tema es del primero disco no?

[Ocean92Soul]

Jajaja tienen razón pero Tuomas dijo en una entrevista que se sentía bastante orgulloso de esta canción: "When I finished with the song The Carpenter, even though it feels a bit corny to say these days, but I felt really proud of it because of the theme of the song and how it goes. That was also the first single that Nightwish released in 1997. Now when I listen to it I hear all the flaws but there is still something in there that I am really proud of."

[MxM93]

Well, the only bad things are Tuomas' vocals. He's the best at writing lyrics (a lot of Nightwish songs are pure poems) but he's not so good at singing ^^"

This song anyway is fuckin' great, sad and dreamy.

[crazykakalover]

I fuckin' love this song!

Nightwiiiiiisssssssssshhhhhhhh­hh

[WayneSuomi]

AWESOME!

[dembogurski]

where i can download the music

?

[Spl33t90]

Never heard about eMule, lol?

[simpsonboyke]

use eMule or another p2p program! because limewire 5.0 is the biggest crap i've ever seen :S

[aster64]

You buy it ! Don't steal Nightwish !

[thebeerbaron666]

like you've never downloaded music ?

[aster64]

Never download Nightwish ! ^^

[demonblackprince]

Ummmm ummm tarja looks so different .. ummm ummm .. naaaahh i love tarja

[xPinkQueen]

That's right, this is Tarja more than 12 years ago. :)

[athpati]

oooh god she looks like she's 20 kilos overweight

[dhbrent]

The lyrics make this song seem like they're about Jesus. Is it?

[bettyCA9]

*Great video but see "The Room" by Tommy Wiseau!AWESOME

**DISCOVER "The Room MOVIE" by Tommy Wiseau! It's FUN!**

[rycessromance]

if i know, this video with the man designing something that look like a plane,probably based on story about ikaros/icarus,the man who want to escape from his exile!

[DalandtheCat]

I think this song strengthens the argument that at least some members of Nightwish are Christian.

[TheSpiritIsTruth]

Not christians.. they got a lot of songs for different religions.

Read: Tutankhamen

OR: Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean

etc.

[huntress234]

"Tutankhamen" is not about religion, and "Devil..." is even less.

[xcherryc0ke]

This song kind of sounds like it's recorded with a 5-dollar-microphone and Tuomas' computer :P

Great music though :D

[https001]

ehehehe

[adil2552]

WOW Tarja looks so different

[StrawberryMartaChoco]

so young here =)

[LoveSeductDevotion]

This is the REAL Nigthwish! This is the REAL Tarja! Not this artificial "modeled version" of nowadays... This is one of my favourite music and clip from them! Thank you for the up!

[Touni1992]

Tarja looks different but still very beautifull :)

[bukanaibor]

is this song about jesus??

[XeRavenius]

No it's song about Carpenter's...

[Furinkazanmusic]

rofl. nice.

[YesSirItsEsser]

ahah, I knew it!

[Touni1992]

And yes, i think it has some religious stuff, somehow connected to jesus

[KyralianChocobo]

Yes it is about Jesus!

[Ordell90]

I love this song. And Tarja looks here beautiful ;p

[spiderbear78]

id like it, but the chorus just..ehhh cuz is it just me or is tuomas singing really off-key? O_o it just sounds wrong

[lostseagirl]

Toumas < Marco

Toumas your good at keyboard and singing but Marco STILL OWNS

[sinnerseko]

jee hyvä naitwis

[LUNA8PERLE]

Tarja looks way different, thought^^

[TheInnerReflection]

I look back on this song as one of the best songs by them in my opinion. Not too much of a fan of Tuomas' singing.. but at least he's trying.

[TheStrangexD]

Dear Toumas.... you are much better on keyboard. ;P

[PinkCherry307]

Tuomas lol.

He's awesome, but not a good singer.

Anette and Marco could sing this song now.

[nightwisheve]

By the way, this song belongs to one of my favourites. It´s a matter of taste!

[ingica18]

i meant that the singer from Sonata Arctica is singing...

I heard that..

[ingica18]

i heard that the back vocals are from Sonata Arctica..

but I dont know :S

yeahh!!! the first NW song!!!!!
