Nightwish - Amaranth

[4hekk]

this song is good but its not metal.

[puppetmaster6666]

@4hekk melodic metal

[antboy151017]

Why do they burn down the house with the angel in it??? :O

[Telacore]

@antboy151017 They were trying to kill the angel because they believed that she was a fallen angel, and thus, a demonic being. But, obviously, she wasn't and they misunderstood. Once they wake her up she heals herself and escapes back to Heaven. I love this video sooooo much. I'm not even Christian but this video is so pure and suspenseful at the same time. The symbolism here is just wonderful. Great video, great band.

[reuel25]

@antboy151017 to return her back to heaven

[xXxsk8terxXx2000]

bs they do exists read the bible

[waterdemon83]

@xXxsk8terxXx2000 Did anyone laugh uncontrollably like I did?

Either the uneducated spelling, or the fact that he thinks the bible is real, so angels must be real.

[TheVampyreMafia]

1. Tuomas, the keyboardist's icon is jack sparrow.... so he dresses like jack sparrow alot.

2. Annette takes alot of criticism for being in the band. she gets boo'd off stage alot... i dont think she took this for attention, no one is praising her for joining nightwish. i love her and i love Tarja, they both are good in their own ways. they give the music a diff sound and its good both ways.

[suckmynobs]

@neodavie and they dont exist.

[Ink161]

you can tell annet is only in the band for attention just by the way she acts in this video. BUT i still love this song. amazing work of art.

[animallover19921]

@Ink161 first she is not acting that way for attention the director tall her to act like that so don't be talking sheet when u don't know

[sharkwithmachete2]

This music video is actually based on a famous Finnish painting called the Wounded Angel. I was at the Finland National Gallery in Helsinki and the painting pretty much has its own room. When i saw it i could seriously feel chills cause i finally understood what this video was really about.

[Destructivepurpose]

@sharkwithmachete2 dude thats epic

[metalluv4]

@sharkwithmachete2 i now want to go to Finland just to see that painting.

[DaxMaxwell]

Angels are genderless, yes, though they do tend to gain a gender when they become fallen.

[Morgoth1990]

Why do they make the keyboard guy look like freakin' Fabio? lol

[cliptwingz]

This must be where my guardian angel went when I was in jail

[matixbird]

angels don't get erections

[mattoh1981]

@matixbird fallen angels do, which is crazy cause if that shit gets hard why'd fuck are tey called fallen.

[Jrim615]

soooooooo wtf just happned?

[inkamagonkhpjacki]

Soooo? Angels are mythical creatures with no definitive shape, form, or gender that only appear human. No gender? really? someones watched Dogma way too much.

[Masterkavi]

@inkamagonkhpjacki No, someone actually read the bible... They are sexless. Deal with it.

[TheDevimangel]

if she truly fell, wouldnt they have ripped her wings off? so maybe she didnt fall, maybe she got pushed off the edge. O-o

[Schmittysniper]

well none of you really know do u so you cannot state that which you do not know and present it as fact merely as belief.

[FishizzleBoy]

Ive always thought of a real angel looking like a Wisp from WoW

[punkkid1995]

hahaha the arc of the covenant 2 20

[try2flywith1wing]

id give anything to marry that sexy drummer T.T

[SkyDarkHeart]

umm why did they set her on fire?

[hyperdude3]

@SkyDarkHeart dude it's a Metal band. Mixed with Opera, and you're asking why they lit her on fire?

[camokid99]

@SkyDarkHeart Because in old folklore a fallen angel was the sign of a devil, you know satan fell, ect....

[9496tull]

great song, it sucks that u-tube removed the time that the comments were placed. wtf!

[cromchild]

@9496tull Look again. It shows you left this comment 4 days ago. Sound about right?

[9496tull]

@cromchild oh ya i see, duh. i didnt notice that. thanx

[cromchild]

@9496tull Hey, it took me a little bit of looking to figure that out myself. They need a tutorial or something :)

[cumbustable1]

amaranth is a king of herb

amaranth means in greek "the one that does not whither" so i guess in a way the whole angel thing makes sense

[Renagade4]

Awesome song, I listen to it on loop all the time.

But really, wtf with the angel comments... listen to da song!

[TheMicahpurton]

lol stop at 3:06 funny old man

[dawningbutterfly]

nice video. i wish i had wings to just fly away =] that'd be so awesome

[sonio0]

b4 posting retarded comments go to church

[kches46]

technically angels do not yield a gender.

[neodavie]

@kches46 They don't have wings either.

[ScreamYourPrayer]

@neodavie Actually they do! Revelation 4:7-8: "And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."

8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

[sandmann276]

@neodavie the wings are for an exhibit so shes is easy to identify as an angel

[Genkikaio]

Gay seeing here is no Female Angels its ok I don't believe in Christan god any ways

[10inmaine]

he believes in you

[dldavenport2008]

angels technically have no gender or sex. when they appear in the bible, they have changed their form to appear as humans in the instances where the bible specifically states that they were taken for men, but that's probly only because it was convenient. for the tasks to which they were assigned, taking a male role was prudent. but when they're depicted in their "true" forms, they are like animal hybrids, mixes between different things, but only by our human perception

[asew50]

i think they appear human and female to be less intimidating and eaiser to approach

[dldavenport2008]

@asew50 probable, though in the bible all of the angels who appeared to humans in human form were read as "male". but in more romantic art they're given more "female" characteristics, perhaps because the female form became associated with beauty during the time period in which such visuals were produced. i'm not sure. let me quit tryin to sound like i know! haha

[asew50]

@dldavenport2008 haha nah youre making sense i think you know a lot more about this than me ^^

[dldavenport2008]

@asew50 oh no, i don't! lol

[asew50]

@dldavenport2008 haha ok then =P feel free to add me

[dldavenport2008]

@asew50 do i click on your name link and then hit "subscribe" up there at the top, or is there another process? sorry, i'm bad at technology, kind of! lol, so if it's not the subscription one, then add me first and i'll confirm you.

[ScreamYourPrayer]

@dldavenport2008 That is true! I can think of only one time where angels appeared as females Mark 16:5 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.

[dldavenport2008]

@ScreamYourPrayer it's been a while since i'd read that passage. i'm gonna hafta check that one out one of these days

[dldavenport2008]

@ScreamYourPrayer yep i'm gonna hafta look that one up too. it sounds like a verse i may have read though, but there goes one example of angels perceived as women in the bible.

[gvsfgdf]

@dldavenport2008 i don't know about that but id bang the angel in the vid...... she was fineeeeeeeeee :D

[dldavenport2008]

@gvsfgdf as soon as i noticed she was a girl i quit paying attention to her physical attributes haha. but i bet she was fine as hell, shawdy. i'd be, too, if i had wings. lol

[dldavenport2008]

@gvsfgdf lol was she now

[goldeneyecompany]

@dldavenport2008 curiosity kicking in here but weren't all angels originally human

[dldavenport2008]

@goldeneyecompany nah the angels were created before humans. that's just human lore, that whole when you die you become an angel, but in fact, the bible doesn't say exactly what we become but just that we are given a new spiritual body or something like that.

[thespartan65535]

@dldavenport2008 but the bible is a lie :o

[dldavenport2008]

@thespartan65535 perhaps but it then is a lie i'm willing to believe. you have to believe in something, have something to stand on, else, what is you moral base that helps you just KNOW when something is not right, when right is for you relative and different for every person? so even if you[re buddhist, muslim, catholic, hindi, at least you draw your morals from a source not as ambiguous as "there is no god, therefore i do what i want". in the absence of order, chaos abounds

[thespartan65535]

@dldavenport2008 i am atheist

[dldavenport2008]

@thespartan65535 i kinda figured

[iwysong2014]

@dldavenport2008 I thought you should know that this is the best explanation/argument for having a religion that I have ever seen, and I copied it down for future reference, in case i should need it. It's a better summary than any of my theology books ever gave. I don't even know you, but I admire your obvious passion for what you believe. Thanks for existing.

[dldavenport2008]

@iwysong2014 lol no prob. thank you for existing too. and keep searching. even when we feel certain of our path, there's never any harm to be done by inquiring more- into what we believe and even outside of it.

[MonoPrime]

@dldavenport2008 You don't have a path you have freewill.

[steelvalor]

@dldavenport2008 So they all just have boy names for the fun of it eh? Weird. ;D

[MonoPrime]

@dldavenport2008 Well God isn't real...

[Zenyatta27]

@MonoPrime For once someone says that. :P

[antboy151017]

@MonoPrime ARE YOU JOKING?!?!?!

[doomaflatchie]

There are no female angels in Christianity if you want to get technical. So it's moot.

[EnflamedSilhouette]

Do you mean that all angels are male, or that all angels are genderless?

[dldavenport2008]

@EnflamedSilhouette that they're genderless. even when we perceive them or the writers of the bible perceive their human attributes to designate them as male or female at will, the angels, according to Jesus, are neither married nor given in marraige. the role of sex assignment in the bible has been for marital purposes only and thereby procreation, so that's why i'd argue that gender for the angels doesn't exist, not as we perceive it, anyway. it's not necessary for them.

[anilinkz7se7en]

moot

[DivinityZibet]

good question she isn't an angel whom does battle..Thats for sure..

[Herfer]

@DivinityZibet Prob Virtues

[clgreene100]

I wonder...what class of angel is it supposed to be? Seraphim, Cherubim?

[luigisoldier]

Just an angel.

[docbone1115]

Seraphim and Cherubim need not concern themselves with mortal affairs - they are consumed with devotion to God, and their time is spent praising Him. Meddling on Earth is left to the lower ranks, such as Archangels and Angels (malakhim).
