Nightwish - 07 Sleeping Sun （End of An Era） Live

[kikigtv007]

I want this song on my funerall!!!!It is so immortal!Like the "aurora borealis" effects.

[joachimcassandra]

What a wonderfull Song Thank you NIGHTWISH!!

[Coraline97adel]

you look gorgeous my godess, Tarja :'(

[MoarBlacky]

She stands there like an angel..

[TheEvachen]

TARJA IST DIE BESTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ist sooooooo schade ;-(((( ist sie nicht mehr bei nightwish;-(((kann diese annet so gar nicht hören;-((( iiigit

[campa100anni]

I'd give ANY day of my life for a chance to go back in time and join that gig

[wishmaster480]

Das ist noch Nigthwish. Jedes ihrer Lieder druckvoll vom Anfang bis zum Ende. Tuomas hatte recht End of an Era. Ohne Tarja kein Nigthwish. Eine Band steigt oder fällt durch den oder die Frontfrau oder Mann

[BrokenAngel5593]

This song is just, perfect <3 as much as I like the new era, the old era will always be my favourite :)

[Aldarabutterfly]

drums Julius? wtf? jukka LOL

[dgdsanto]

@Aldarabutterfly jajajaja

[whitegxp]

That is right Tuomas and Tarja do not have to get along... just produce the great music together and let bygones be bygones.

[nlighter]

NW without Tarja is like the Beatles without Lennon, the Doors without Jim Morrison, etc. She is a WORLD class singer compared to hundreds of average singers such as Annette. Writing great songs is a heck of alot easier when you've got the voice of an angel to sing them!

[TheGruzas]

@nlighter

This. Im not trying to show some disrespect for Tuomas, he is great musician and song writer, but without Tarja's voice his songs arent such great as they are sang by her. Many people seems to forget this...she is the one who materialized them.

[UcantResistClicking0]

I came to the conclusion that people who prefer Tarja over Annette, listen to Tarja more than the whole band as a whole. Annette fans probably listen to the whole band so it doesn't sound as bad haha. I think it might be the way we're listening honestly.

[whitegxp]

If music is music, then we all would be happy listening to " Ring around the Roses."

[XxvaultlegendxX]

ive seen this before and i wanna comment on it:

old nightwish fans say tarja

new nightwish fans say anette

true nightwish fans say nightwish....cause music is music, you ether like or u dont

[UcantResistClicking0]

@XxvaultlegendxX: But remember it is okay to prefer one over another, but there are those who completely shoot down Annette. I prefer Tarja, truely I do, but Annette isn't bad either, I just prefer Tarja over her. Overall Nightwish is my most favorite band, right next to Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold.

[XxvaultlegendxX]

@UcantResistClicking0 true

[DonDinasAirey]

@XxvaultlegendxX Stupid theory, every music has its own qualities... It is not all in tastes, you have to know to recognize good music when you hear it. :)

[joachimcassandra]

Oh god its really good

[TheSuperstaudi]

outstanding amazing

[dewastatorek1]

niewiem co lepsze patrzec na nich czy ich sluchac:P

[MsElfiasta]

@dewastatorek1 zdecydowanie słuchać

[Golfclubization]

great

[vivorotu]

Akways great

[BetoBoton]

Y despego los pies al escuchar esta canción...

[ExceptionalI]

I travel just in this song

[BrasilCida]

It is simply wonderful!!!....So touching!!!!

[ibainesy]

Tarja, most under-rated singer for her talent... (meaning female "singers" like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Justin bieber and her girlfriend) get more attention than her despite having zero to no talent whatsoever. It's sad really.

Beautiful song.

[Nemsault]

@ibainesy Thats true with everything. More often then not talent and quality is overshadowed by marketing.

[Metalgandalf456]

Fuck this is so Fucking epic 

[piratebri]

lol, all Tuomos does is the ambiance? they just play a recording of the other key parts...

[joachimcassandra]

Very Very Good yes i love it its so Great !

[XxvaultlegendxX]

i think tarja is actually a angel...how else could she have sucha beautiful voice?

[Craaauser]

tarja is amazing .... just amazing .....

[1genec]

Nigtwish only Tarja.

[ibainesy]

34 Peoples Night time didn't seem to last for a life time.

[TheBuknacho]

Tarja pleeease visit Georgia!

[MrNightwishFun]

Whenever i listen to this song it makes my hair stand up at signle.It is trully trully epic and the way she sings it makes it even better..I dont know but whenever i am moody i play this song in my i-pod and i feel like i got some understanding for some trully weird reason..She is the only on making me feel that way via music in this type of music of course.So talented that she is able to combine metal with opera and yet be MORE THAN EPIC..GodEss!

[tavi921]

pause at 4:33

[Apoccalypce2]

I have to shit.

[21mike21mike21]

This song makes me feel better when I cry ;(

[KuatBacktoid]

On my seventh time through. Keep 'em coming.

[whitegxp]

Never tire of listening to this song.

[JiaSlipknotNightwish]

so beautiful *.*

tarja has very beautiful voice <3 better than anette (for nightwish)

[XxvaultlegendxX]

two words.........holy shit

[whitegxp]

DVD online is " Nightwish: End of an Era." Go to Amazon.com

[Rainnan1]

Can someone tell me how to purchase the album?

[Rainnan1]

I love it, epecially played in the video of the S.S. America which my grandmother came from Gerany to Ellis Island on. Wish I knew how to buy this album as U an bew to this.

[whitegxp]

Tuomas sure does like the night time.

[dutchwowerke]

this is the best live performance I've ever seen

[MoarBlacky]

She stands there like an angel..

[jckai1808]

Having jst discovered Nightwish recently, I ws sadden to find out Tarja no longer ws w/ the group. I've listen to Annette & Nightwish seem to be happy with her presence. However, Tarja is magnificent. She brought a uniqueness to this group. How fantastic to discover metal and opera and she made it work. She added beauty and created this look & sound that made the mezmorising...jst can't get enough of. Annette ws a solution to their problems of their indifferentc with each other. Our loss.

[whitegxp]

I love Tarja's expression of overwhelming joy at the end of the song.

[Made1nGreece]

@MoarBlacky who doesn't know that their voices and styles are different?one is EPIC BADASS symphonic/opera and the other is pop-like shit.an angelic voice can't be compared with a common one

i wish they'd make Marco lead singer: /watch?v=Gkg88Mw5xJw&feature=r­elated and don't tell me that this is not badass.their style would have been different but i wouldn't care,cause with Anette its different too but the thing is it s u c k s

[Made1nGreece]

@MoarBlacky if you think that Anette can achieve such an epic live you're dead wrong.it might be a bit "good",but it will never reach the epicness that they achieve with Tarja

a good song needs a good voice,and Anette lacks of this.she might be good singer but she is not fitted for Nightwish style or any other metal band.her voice range turns the atmosphere of a song into pop-shit.her pop-like voice is crap for bands like Nightwish,Epica,Elis,Sirenia etc.Simone is 1000 times better singer

[whitegxp]

I just listened to Sahara after reading your comment. Anette's voice and style does not suit the Nightwish sound. My objective opinion. I have tried to enjoy the "new Nightwish" but always return to the original Nightwish...so be it.

[MoarBlacky]

@whitegxp Anettes and tarjas styles are as different as apples and plums. U recognizes that Nightwish is since anette joined the band as popular as never before...? If everybody is so upset that tarja left 6 years ago (!!!) they should buy they solos like i do. A Band changes sometimes. But will crying help? Just accept it, u cant change a thing with anette vs tarja wars. They fit both perfectly to nightwish, but in a very different way...

[ChiYo6]

TENGO QUE DEJAR DE TORTURARME!! never more...:(

[keepitrealbro]

Annette is an average singer and performer

[RabbitKnows]

How it should be done. Just perfect.

[whitegxp]

I just don't see it that way.

[whitegxp]

Old Nightwish fans do not have to accept Annette as the sound of the original Nightwish. So Annette fans, again, I ask? If Annette is so great, why are you here?

[Lemmingology]

@whitegxp Let me start by saying this - I've been a Nightwish fan for 11 years, I first heard of them shortly after Wishmaster came out, and to this day, I would name them and Muse as my favourite bands on the planet. That said, given that they're still not very well-known in the UK, I never had the fortune of seeing them perform live with Tarja. And yet, I love the new-era Nightwish with Anette just as much. It's a completely different sound, yes, but it WORKS. One word - Sahara.

[TimmyScandi]

holy fuck, nightwish music is what I aim to be able to compose, and unfortunately will never get

[niahaa]

SHIT, why the hell can't I listen to nightwish on youtube without any fuckin' debate about Tarja and Anette ?! Fuck you people, Anette never wanted to measure up to Tarja, the guys in the band never asked her to try, and if you don't like her, that's your taste, but don't say one is better than another. They're simply differents, with different technics and ways of singing, and you can love one, the other of both. Now listen to Nightwish, shut the fuck up and enjoy the music !

[MrNakhrul]

@niahaa

My first post stated exactly that: don't be a partisan of anybody and enjoy good music for what it is.

Nightwish still does good music, Anette is OK.. but to go from here and say that she compares with Tarja is not only inflammatory but plain wrong.

The reason that people are still having this discussion after so many years is because NW was enormously good with her and her firing was one of the greatest fails in rock history.

[xliezelz]

anette will never be able to measure up to Tarja

[princepstenebris]

This is epic. This song is so touching and poetic... The people who criticize goth metal and heavy metal should listen this, and I am sure that they would be quiet, just because they couldn´t find words to refute this musical beauty.

[bembon09]

Magic..

[hardc0reprincess]

everytime i listen to this i'mma start crying o.o

[westernman2010]

Tarja and Sharon from Within Temptation are the 2 best female singers in the world!

[whitegxp]

Tarja still reigns. 

[MrOsamuTezuka]

Enchanted @.@

[nini9288]

i love simply Nightwish for many years i didn"t even know that tarja had been kicked out. At every time i listened only music so even when Amaranth was released i believed there was tarja it's funny but if you will listen music  than that won't be so important who is vocalist

[o0Benihime0o]

Tarja and Annette wars? SERIOUSLY!? It's been SIX YEARS!!!!! u.u

[vv55sst]

@o0Benihime0o  - Agreed.

[cpurocwish]

@o0Benihime0o 4 actually

[MrVinaTube]

@o0Benihime0o sad 6 years

[TpRunelover2008]

@o0Benihime0o Thumbs up for you!

[whitegxp]

@o0Benihime0o  and your point is?

[Loki44]

@o0Benihime0o LOL bravo!!!

[LucianaPuma]

i doesnt though that tarja would came to back in nightweish becose he are a pig stupid

sorry for my english , im dont knoe anythingto that languaje about

[Cedric12121993]

I miss these songs of Nightwish. If you hear anette live you only hear the guitar drum and bass you almost can't hear her. Tarja can sing opera she is just a better singer.

[MrCuber12345]

Does anyone know where i can buy a poster with Original Nightwish on it? With Tarja,Marco,Emppu,tuomas and Julius

[FestaOleander]

great song..

[vesna1230]

She stand up there like an angel...

[aitutaki04]

how much I wish to see Tarja playing live with the Nightwish

[jiyarza]

Back in 2003 a german guy told me about Nightwish, this kind of metal is rarely found down here in Spain. This one was his favourite song. I bless him for showing it to me back then. And after all these years, I am very happy to have found this video. Nightwish will always be in my heart.

[blacky152]

Tarja, the only metal queen...

But i must say, that this comparison to Anette shouldnt be. I bet that Tarja couldnt sing songs Annete can sing, like Anette couldnt sing most of Tarjas songs. The two ladies are to different for that. Im hearing nightwish with anette and with tarja and i like both much.

[DDKPDK]

Kiitos Tarja...

[cornedbeefyum]

i never new the goddess of music would sing metal

p.s. Tarja is the goddess of music.

[denelva]

It almost looks like Tuomas is about to cry during this song.

This performance has got it all.

[bormarken]

epic goosebumps! .... FOREVER!

[Issametal666]

Tarja not only have Siren voice of an angel too|m|♥!

[favouritegirlintheda]

I´ve called my daughter Tarja - and I know why...

[TheDiegoChaves]

Polegares Pra cima Quem vai escultar Nightwish até o fim da vida. (:

[TpRunelover2008]

So beautiful...

[Thyfaris]

Tarja forever!

[halfnewf13]

I can't say anything about Anette with Nightwish as I only just started listening to these, but I do LOVE the Tarja and Nightwish combination. I'm a big new age opera fan (Sarah Brightman my favorite, among others). Just love the combo of the two - metal rock with opera fantastic :)) Great twist

[Starche]

Very nice song Tarja is amazing.

Nightwish without Tarja is now a medium rock band without personality

[Imposful]

So I would just like to say "Don´t do this! Watch only videos you like and don´t comment shit on videos you don´t like!"

[Thetariusz]

Happy Birthday Tarja, You are wonderful!

[TpRunelover2008]

@Thetariusz It was her birthday? Wish I knew.

[Thetariusz]

@TpRunelover2008 Yes, August 17

[TpRunelover2008]

@Thetariusz I'll remember that. At least I hope.

[miki73ify]

Gyönyörü ballada!Imadom!

[musictimekiev]

I wish for this night time to last for a life-time.... but sadly, that night time is gone and never come back

[Nighwish13]

Rimpiangerò per sempre di non essere stata a quel concerto T.T non potrò più vedere i NW con Tarja... nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuT.T

[lover234235]

@Nighwish13 T.T

[luciolojr]

this band has always been so commercial.

But it do not take the credits away of their succeed and talent.

is this gothic metal or just some kind of symphonic metal?

actually..just a little bands could be called gothic metal.

just a little bit, and nothing else

[nightwish231]

@luciolojr No,they are not commercial,at all ! They are a symphonic metal band,they have nothing to do with gothic.Just because they have many fans it doesn't means that they are commercial because people can recognise talent.Their songs are full of emotions and work with choir,orchestra,lyrics...It has nothing to do with commercial.The band said themselfs that they aren't gothic too.

[luciolojr]

@nightwish231 symphonic metal?

ok.

this kind of bands are just what i used to say: pop metal.

A very (i mean: VERY) commercial sound.

[nightwish231]

@luciolojr Pop Metal ? Do you thing that choir,orchestra,metal band,worked lyrics and a soprano singer all together is easy listening ? This is no joke,there are many kinds of Metal,Celtic Metal,Glam Metal,Heavy Metal,Death Metal (...) And Symphonic Metal is one of them.If you want to listen to Popular and easy listening music go to MTV.Because Nightwish isn't a commercial sound,at all ! I show them to a lot of people and they say that this isn't commercial sound at all ...

[luciolojr]

@nightwish231 to whom have you shown this?

lots of band in many genres that you said before has become too commercial.

Just a few bands keep their original sound. I can count a lot of them.

But nightwish for certain is a comercial band.

I'm not telling you that they don't have a peculiar and very good sound. They're great band for sure, with great songs, but it turned to a commercial sound to make more success and get more fans.

[Imposful]

@luciolojr Wait, so you think they don´t play the same music as they played? Oh guy I don´t think so... Do you think they play pop, funky, country? :-D No, as you can hear, they play the same symphonic metal all the time. And do you think maybe Iron Maiden is a commercial band when they´ve got 250 000 fans in the arena on Rock in Rio?

[luciolojr]

@Imposful yes! i do think they don't play as they used to.

actually,

[Imposful]

@luciolojr Ok, I don´t curse you for that. :-) Everybody can have his own attitude and I won´t force you mine, but you know it...

[23lonelywolf]

@luciolojr Just because a band loves to experiment doesn't make it commercial. If they became more succesful because of it then it's something natural to happen, not because they forced it. And actually, the original concept of the band, as Tuomas said, was about folk accoustic music but they tried for Metal because Tarja's voice was way too powerful.

[Thetariusz]

It was in this song when I fell in love in Tarja's voice.

[VisualSakuraKei]

Who the f*ck can dislikes this? I don't understand. This song is very beautiful ^__^

[toncarmelo]

@VisualSakuraKei Anette has 32 brothers and sisters. But it´s just a coincidence...

[VisualSakuraKei]

@toncarmelo *W* thats true...but Tarja has 3 302. =D

[Frapediaris]

@VisualSakuraKei 

[morphine3654]

I'm really glad Tarja showed some emotions at the end. That proves she indeed was the heart of Nightwish, not only beauty and amazing voice. Seeing Nightwish with Anette and the way Anette gives herself in every way possible made me wonder why Tarja never showed anything like that. This performance changed my opinion. :D

[livingxasxaxfan]

Love the dress !

[Elijolie1]

Non ci può essere nessuna "battaglia" tra loro due perchè Anette perde in partenza.

[Buddlarin]

TARJA come BACK

[SkMrFusion123]

ok.. goosebumps.. O.o



[LadyCandys]

Perfect......

Just... Beautiful...

[santas90]

Tarja...strong voice...

[maiduteinmata]

Can't believe you are filling this page with the same trollish comments instead of listening to this masterpiece :|

[devymetalforlife]

Tarja is the best female vocalist i've ever heard. Anyone who thinks annette is equal or better is tone deaf, forgetting the fact that Tarja is also stunningly beautiful.

Nightwish ceased to exsist for me after Tarja left. Biggest mistake they could have made.

<3 Tarja

[23lonelywolf]

@devymetalforlife Tarja's solo career has some great material too, specially her latest album "What Lies Beneath" :)

[23lonelywolf]

@devymetalforlife btw, I like both singers and I'm a musician. I'm not tone deaf :)

[truongnang]

once upon a century...indeed

[spikeakane]

jealous much!!!! of course i am :)

[PaladinAventurado]

AMAZING UNTIL ETERNITY!

[Skyter33]

who is the fuck justin bieber?

nightwish is the best band with Tarja

beautiful song i love it

[TheMrUbul]

The most beautiful song i've ever heard. I love THIS Nightwish and Tarja. :') <3

[bevawilson]

i've just cried. i swear ^^

[Bettina197]

I love this song and Tarja's voice, but I like Anette too! I think this battle between Tarja and Anette must have an end.. Nightwish is better than continuing to make music, even if the singer isn't Tarja: the songs are always wonderful!!!! <3

[SaintMetalheaD]

enchanting..........<3

[KamichamaKiku]

Can't we all just respect everyone? Yes, Tarja was and IS amazing. Anette is also great, and is talented in her own way. The decision was made five or six years ago and it's not going to change. I must also remind everyone that Tarja has a solo career as well, and she has some great songs. So if you don't like the new Nightwish, listen to the old songs, listen to Tarja's solo albums, or don't waste your time spreading hate on youtube, where the band isn't going to see your comment. Thank you.

[ShadowsDiamond]

<3333333333333333333333333

This was the song that got me attached to Nightwish. Now it's the song I cry to knowing that was their last time perfoming this song with Tarja.

[Ardalanzy]

Tarja will always be the best. Anette just doesnt fit as good as tarja. Whatever you guys may say, but Anette can't sing the old musics like tarja did. Especially this one, Phantom of the Oprah, and so on..

I miss Tarja, and the old music of nightwish. Thats a fact.

[GuardianOfHate]

@Ardalanzy

It's your personal point of view, not a fact ;)

[Ardalanzy]

@GuardianOfHate sorry but no, it's a fact. Anette can't just sing this or phantom of the Oprah or 90% of the musics before End of An Era as good as Tarja. And if you see the new album of nightwish and compare with the old ones like Wishmaster, Century Child is totally different.

Whatever you can say there is two Nightwish, One with Tarja, one with Anette, and i bet 80% of the fans prefer the old one.

[GuardianOfHate]

@Ardalanzy

As a matter of fact it's a matter of taste.

[GuardianOfHate]

@Ardalanzy

And by the way I'd never say that there is no difference. Indeed There are two kinds of music. But as I see 80% of the band are still unchanged. And only because the leadsinger is someone else the band itself doesn't change that much, or was it another band after marco was the new bassplayer? Well even those tricky bassist do have their own style, so I don't really see the point.

"and i bet 80% of the fans prefer the old one" just a guess. "both" have strengths

[sonicnator]

@Ardalanzy: Actually its nothing but a mere opinion. Not saying I disagree(I like both of them), but in the end, its all subjective.

[tinasepo]

@Ardalanzy ok she cant sing those song but she can sing others that tarja can not.I will agree that tarja is a better vocalist but vocalists are just band members, not bands themselves

[Ardalanzy]

@tinasepo but that is my point. Nightwish is just not the same band anymore ;)

[alexveldin]

@Ardalanzy

Finaly Some one that makes scence,

not just.

ANETTE SUCKS... XD or somting.

[skumpik666]

@Ardalanzy The phanton of the Opera will never ever be performed again by Nightwish. Tuomas said it.... And I guess that's Anette 'fault'.

[phantasmalconcealing]

Phantom of the Oprah especially!!

[Vitzartti]

@Ardalanzy "Phantom of the Oprah"?! That's where I cracked up, and LMAOed.

[Yulivea]

I FUCKIN' LOVE YOU

[markotokai]

tarja <3 <3,no anette!! tarja the best!!
