Notice that from 3:00 to the end, Emppu does not compete with Tarja. He plays softer and an octave lower than she sings. He matches her on the last note but he knew who the fans wanted to hear and it wasn't him lol. Swanheart is an awesome song but I wish it was longer...
@starlightmistiq My anger is directed at Tuomas that he did not move heaven and earth to keep Tarja in the band. The Epic is dead; long live the Epic.
@dieseldog00 In life, nothing lasts forever. If they had problems, it would have been only bad for the band, if they stay together...and I say this with the WISH they would still be together....:(
@starlightmistiq But you know what...and this is the heart of the matter...no one else can come close to this either. I have listened to almost all the singers in Symphonic/Goth Metal and NONE match Tarja. Anette wasn't the best choice for sure but she may have been the ONLY choice Tuomas had.
This song is so perfect and so deep, I could just keep listening to it over and over again and I'd never get tired ou bored(and I totally agree with the fact that the live version is better than the studio one, as was said below). It really touches my heart so profoundly. The lyrics are very good and Tarja's voice gave it a really amazing touch.
It's really a shame we probably won't be ever listening to it again...
Actually, i for one stumbled on Nightwish myself by accident. I'm glad i did. Swanheart is a song that made me fall in love with the band. I listen to this song over and over and even today, still marvel at it's perfection.
Omg, beautiful performance... beautiful song... this video made me cry. Nightwish was so much more pure back then. I love Anette but it's a shame of what happened to Nightwish.
This is concert in Tampere, Finland. Video from this concert was released as "From Wishes To Eternity Live DVD" It was played on the 29th of December 2000
I'm loving this live version even more than than the album version. I'm sad that she doesn't touch me nowadays as much as in this DVD. :( Not even on End of an Era.

i love this song, but i have feeling tarja does not sing it good on stage.. i don't know why did she change it so much.. but its still good.. i like piano cover alot..
I don't know any opera singer who could rise to this level of awesomeness. I cry every time I hear it.

The part from 2:11 to 2:26 was Epic as only Tarja can sing Epic. I have tears in my eyes.

Well, it wasn't in 1998. :D Because if Wishmaster was released in 2000, this must be the year of 2001.
