Sonata Arctica - The Wind Beneath My Wings

[MunchkinMeganX]

I'm sitting here crying...in a good way. This is so powerful.

[bettemidlerules1945]

I have to say that bette midler is so much better at singing this song that is why she got the number 1 with it and not them

[SijsbRattlehead333]

[ynsane78]

WOW! One of the best covers I have ever heard.

[maggiegue]

I don't know the original song...but this version is awesome :-D

[Khaibit44]

From the mouth of Tony Kakko, taken from the Takatalvi insert:

"We got a lot of "what the hell"-kind of comments for this. I've always liked the original. It's an extremely beautiful and touching song, in all kinds of ways. I thought it would be great to present this song to those music lovers that hate Bette Midler. Seemed to work fine!"

In other, far less diplomatic words: haters, shut up and enjoy the pretty music =)

28 people don't have wind beneath their wings.

[xSilentKhaosx]

That was seriously unexpected. Not only do I now have a new awesome version of this song to like, but a new band to check out. I can't even word what went through my mind listening to this but it is definitely one of my new favorite songs.

[barathrumize]

.this is our ..tribute to parents.song during grad...on march 23,2011

[SijsbRattlehead333]

[LilRokr539]

[yna9011]

[Fuluzi]

Very good cover!

[WriterGirl457]

Spent the entire day singing "DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HERO!!!"

[runingwolflexan]

@WriterGirl457 Me to, dammit!

[Majyxs]

@WriterGirl457 That IS my favorite line, you know...

I listen to this song while watching Earth spin on my PS3...aaah, no better feeling...

[Soubisuka]

Amazing cover, love it.

[icemoccha]

I really love this song...feel stronger...with heavy metal sound

[David77743]

yeah I love this song of sonata arctica 

[Soldierlozer]

@XWarHammeRsX could you please just shut up with all your agressive posts. It's kinda annoying. It's a great cover. I totally agree. But if he likes HIM as well, let him. As long as he also knows this is good music.

I still like to listen to Simple Plan, of Greenday of Avril Lavigne sometimes. But I also love Sonata Arctica, Northern Kings, Kamelot, Hammerfall and bands like that.

It's just a matter of taste. If he would ask a rapper to cover it. Then I would agree with you. But now... nopez.

[wertyhDA]

Sonata Arctica is a band that DARES to metalize (not a word but ok XD) none metal/rock songs! and you know what???? Its sounds great to!

I love that!

[RyuuHatake]

@XWarHammeRsX Go back on to Dusseldorf with your neo-nazi ass. If you dont feel that my views suffice to your poor level of existence, then you can just keep your little posts to yourself. If you're going to try an act like a controlling badass, try not doing it over the internet.

[cutiko]

Nice videos

[larstig95]

good song

[RyuuHatake]

I love love love this song!

I'd like to hear HIM do a cover of it also :D

[valevevideo]

@RyuuHatake

gay twat

[blu3j4yw4y]

I love this. Not because it's that amazing (their original stuff is a million times more epic than this) but just cause I love having a happy, cheerful, cheesy Sonata song to play once in a while :D

[fuckinghatehipsters]

wait

this is heavy?

[WordsForLove8]

@fuckinghatehipsters

not heavy....

but HELL YEH! its better then that bullscrap ....meeeehhhhh

music with no feelings... this is AWSOME!

[Diaminessj3]

@fuckinghatehipsters no...this is sonata arctica...

[Dosmosable]

@Diaminessj3 no.... this is SPARTA!

[gusthebroken2]

I think this a very good version -it does rock so \,,/  :D

Thanks hardygreenhorn!

[hardgreenhorn]

i love both original and this heavy version!! thanks for adding!!

best from JD

[yelyahtnag68]

This is WICKED!!!

[Boldvyr]

mmh not as good as the other songs ... i mean, you hear that this song is written as a pop song and not a power metal song...

[ktuluag]

@Boldvyr This is a cover, of a pop-ballod. 

[TrunkMonkey3000]

Which album ??

[Arska91]

@TrunkMonkey3000 Takatalvi muistaakseni.

[keysofgears]

@TrunkMonkey3000 Orientation ( 2001 japan release only ) or in Takatalvi ( 2010 european Version )

[Kasusable]

Tony couldn't sing bad, even if he want it. His voice is just heavenly!

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

24 people missed the "like" button. I really like this cover, it's emortalized the song rather than killed it, like what some groups do to great songs. They've earned my full respect, for making this song even more epic than what it already was.

[Frostbite249]

@Jill4ChrisRedfeild

24 people just have a different opinion...

I can see you like this cover, I do too, but everyone has their opinion -- not everyone's gonna like it just because you do...

[jp0005jp]

this is great, very good video, thumbs up : D

[dathatron]

wow sometimes covers turn out really (*cough cough jay z*) but this one is really awesome

[xDniezz]

This cover made me love Sonata Arctica even more. <3

[razorslice17]

Sonata did amazing on this song. I've heard many covers, but SA's version is easily my favorite.

[Marieke1023]

Awesome cover!!!

[grellow]

Are you sure that's not supposed to be "And you've been content to let me shine" instead of "And you can content to let me shine"?

[larstig95]

orginal celine dion respon too strutqy

[sbrushfan]

@larstig95 Wasn't Celine Dion. The best-known recording was by Bette Midler.

[PianoplayerX007]

sonata are so emotional

[strutqy]

i lvoe this song but who sings the original?i wanna hear that version too

[Dragslo]

@strutqy

Bette Midler

[renrew667]

Wow! This song is so amazingly beautiful It opens the Eyes of every Seeing Human Being....

[ApprenticePL]

I don't know the original, but I suppose it's this version that will one day help me express my gratitude :D

thx for the captions / subs / karaokies / you name it :)

[LightYagame100000]

this  is good

[Bobbybaer]

yoah that´s really the case :-D

it´s super cool!

[Bobbybaer]

yoah that´s really the case :-D

it´s super cool!

[Zummarah]

This is definitely my favorite cover of all time.

[satukar]

Hyvä Suomi!!!

[darkchronoss]

Very good cover!! In my opinion it's much better than the original.

I just love the lyrics and the rythm it got.

[smasherbrawl]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Sonata Arctica Rulz! Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah!

[Draconification]

@Maerko: It's not from Bette Midler ;-)

Wikipedia-quote: "Wind Beneath My Wings" was recorded by American country music artist Gary Morris on his 1983 album Why Lady Why and released as the album's third single....

..."Wind Beneath My Wings" was performed by Bette Midler for the soundtrack of the film Beaches(1989) and became a U.S. number-one single.

But I think Sonata Arctica made it true! *headbang* ;-)

[ApprenticePL]

@Draconification ohhh I do agree :) Thanks for the info :)

[Matakshaman]

Is this a cover? And if it is, who did the original? :)

[keysofgears]

Bette Midler

[GeorgiaaJane]

celine dion

[Mjoellnir2]

the original is from Roger Whittaker from 1982! But this is the very best version of it^^

[Maerko]

@Matakshaman

Its a cover; original by Bette Midler, but a damn good cover though

[Dpac1337]

LOVE This song!!<3 SA ftw:)

[suneldorado]

OMG << O_O"

[aquillaerie]

where can i download this i tunes does'nt have it!! i want this as my wedding dance

[Theangelofdeathwolf]

lmao.. i love it

[LazarusOwenhart]

Willingness to experiment with cross genre covers has always been a wonderful talent of sonata Arctica's. Love it.

[nightar]

Great cover...

magic, especialy with the candles and stars...

Greetings from Poland

[R0ck3rt]

I love this cover.... Sonata Arctica rocks!!!!!

[rockstarRT]

@R0ck3rt yeah

[MrMythologist]

Beena its your oppinion but i have to disagree with it cause im SA fan. Anyway i respect your point of view till its higher that saying lameswtf is this?? etc. Democracy is for the people :)

[Cloudstrife01235]

*Continuing my previous comment*

Also, comparing Tony's voice to the 'wailing of cats' is a very offensive thing to say. He has a great voice, and just because you may not have good hearing, doesn't mean you should wail on it. Go upload a video of yourself singing, let's see what kind of comments you receive.

[Cloudstrife01235]

@Beenanddoneit

It seems to me like you're saying these comments calmly, and trying to avoid being screamed at. But no matter how calmly and nicely you may seem, you still said something offensive.

To call this group 'hideous' is offensive. You may not like this kind of music but other people do, it's a matter of taste. I probly don't like the music that you do, but i don't go on the vids to that song and say they're 'hideous' i hit the stop button and move onto another song. Do the same.

[CooLitU9009]

absolutly amazing#

[Beenanddoneit]

I think this is an appalling version of a beauttiful song. It's murdered by a rock group who as I see it are the pits and produce sounds more suited to the discordant noises of wailing cats. Now that is MY opinion and no doubt I will receive the usual abusive texts and lots of red thumbs. That's excellent - the more the merrier! The day when a person cannot post views contrary to those of the popular tribes (often cloth-eared chavs)will be a sad day indeed.

[Depopopo]

I believe you are not opening up to something new dont compare it to the original think of it as its own song. It is very well made and beautiful it self. And if you dont like the style of music thats fine but MY opinion is you have to stay open minded.

[Beenanddoneit]

Depopopo: Thanks for your reply, and even more thanks for not using filthy language as some do. However, I am open minded - I just don't like this version and I'm not keen on the group itself. No doubt most will disagree but hey, that's democracy!

[ThePainBarrier]

I'm guessing you're not a metal fan. I mean, even most metalheads can admit that Tony Kakko has a fantastic voice, but you compare it to "the wailing of cats". You call people closed-minded, and then say that anyone who disagrees with you is a "cloth-eared chav". Gosh, that's covered both pretentiousness AND double standards. Well done.

If you don't like a song, then say so. Flaming for the sake of it is a pointless exercise.

[Beenanddoneit]

ThePainBarrier: Please point out where I call people closed-minded.

By the way, I do like the song, very much so, it's a brilliant and beautiful song destroyed by this hideous group.

[FreeBritain1]

I'm not really into 'heavy' metal, but I appreciate live rock and I have to say I really love this absolutely superb version of this song that I lift up to God, the wind beneath my wings. Superb version and play. Took my breath away when I first heard it. Still, each to their own. Peace.

[Beenanddoneit]

FreeBritain: I appreciate your comments and as you say '...each to their own' Peace to you also.

[FreeBritain1]

Yeah, I shouldn't have done it as a reply. I realised as I was typing it. Soz.

[xanvier94]

beautifullllllllllllllllllll perfett coverrr !!!!!!!!!!!!! it couldnt be done better sonata for ever!!!!!!!

[terry54321]

like all sonata arctica cover. they are very well feeling for me,and sonata can also make them more powerful without melody destruction

[VampireSharkElf]

??...

[Darkiesmistress]

its hilarious. you reposted this. : D fucking twat wad.

[Beenanddoneit]

Yes, you're right I did after removing my various other submissions because I felt sorry for what I had said about your appearance. I will pray for you and wish you good luck for the future.

[05832409]

I don't like it too. A very bad version! That's just MY opinion. I apologize to all the fans that like the song. I'm not forcing anyone to hate the song.

[Termimator]

Awesome!

[Darkiesmistress]

You don't like it? then fuck off and listen to the original. Sonata produces anything better then you and your lack of talent ever could. : D

[Darkiesmistress]

Its a really stupid opinion. I laugh at the irony of calling me out on an opinion of your opinion. Your opinion is a really stupid one, after all. You have no idea what I look like, of course, so you don't know the level of beauty that sits beyond the screen. Now sit down, don't message back and let me listen to the best cover ever in peace. : D

[valles666]

wow u owned that person bad since he/she had to erase its comments XD verry well dong and god damn this song is soo beautiful cant wait to hera the original XD

[xanvier94]

damn what a great song, SA rocks!!!

[krackhed999]

God I love this band so much. Such great music, and the way they transformed this song into a power metal version just shows their considerable musical talent even more.

[jhameiagoh]

The power metal treatment of this song has raised it from level of Pop to EPIC. <3

[Ajulaks]

this is amazing

[jintlejea]

ha ha ha ha this is excellent, this is why im gonna learn the guitar, so i can make hilarious covers too!

[anden9301]
