My god, best song ever made. for those who have been or live in England, go to a theater in cristmas time and see "the snowman". there is this song taken from.
Great band,and great song,the biggest influence on my musical taste.I made cover of this song,of course it's not that good as the original,but it mean a lot to me if anyone listen to it.Take care and enjoy in good music.
I have fond memories of Thanksgiving Day in 2003 with this song. I was in my room all day playing this video game and I had this song on repeat that whole day. One of my favorite memories from back then.
I'll be the first to say that I love quiet music as much as rock, like Loreena McKennitt fore example, but as far as this song is concerned, Nightwish's version is my favorite. Even over the quiet, symphonic original in the snowman movie. Tarja's voice is incomparable for this song. I love it as a rock power ballad.
Wished I knew Nightwish before to have a chance to listen Tarja live, as her voice raised the bar of female vocal so high that no other female reached it until now, making her style unique.
@silvermist905 nope lol. tarja is a great singer, but unfortunatly cant write her own stuff for shit. ever she nightwish fired her and are no longer writing all her music for her im afraid her material has lost 99% of its creativity.
This song is heavenly, Tarja is the best. . Not in a thousand years will a singer even get close to her. Neither will Annette (but se is a nice girl). I've never seen Nightwish live ,so i probably l never gonna see nightwish with Tarja. I shall never forgive myself for not being a fan of Nightwish before 2005.
I like! but I prefer the original song of "snowman"... This version it's like hear Beatles "Eleanor Rigby" made by Kansas..I like all Kansas songs but the covers are ALWAYS covers....Nightwish singer has a very nice voice, yes, but for commercial reasons or for "look" they had use this drums too strong!! and that guitar that is like caricature of original children voice...too lyricism here. The Original song is more faithful to the feelings of those who created it (Howard Blake).
why do ppl have to QQ over nightwish losing tarja? go somewhere else and sit in your little corner being emo. i like nightwish for the music not just because they had a great singer.
now lets watch my comment get lots of negative reponses...
@MystikMessenger I like their music, but I think that her voice was a big part of it. Without her, they would have been an acoustic band instead of metal.
great song, beautiful, just beautiful. and yes, nightwish is dead. usually i'm not a person that lives in the past, but it's not the same without tarja. nightwish died for me not only with the departure of tarja, but more because of the way tuomas and the others kicked her out of the band. giving her a letter that says she's out instead of telling it her personally? what the fuck is this? this cowardice was very disappointing.
I remember "The Snowman" as a book....that was sad enough! I didn't even realize it was a cartoon.....hearing this wonderful song just makes the story even more beautiful
OMG!!!! I love this song! They used this song (but not this rendition) in a Christmas cartoon called the Snowman that I grew up with! It's an old hand-drawn cartoon with no dialogue and it's beautiful. Ah, memories.
I used to absolutely loathe this song, because in primary school I had a really horrible music teacher and she made the whole class sing it. I couldn't sing, so I didn't. She didn't say anything to me, just gave me filthy looks and ignored me from then on.
Tarja's voice has made me like it again though, so thank you Nightwish.
amaranth, sahara--to name probably the best. I think poet and pendulum and meadows of heaven are overdone, and they supplement her voice with too many backup singers.
I dont know about the the parting. I'm just saying to all NW fans who cry for Tarja : she did not seem to love Nightwish as much as they do. She had a different path in mind for herself and was not in love with the Idea of being a part of the Nightwish project.
It is not easy to go out perform the way they do, every night in a different city.
Maestro Holopainen still has my soul in the palm of his hand, He lifts me up, with or without the Prima Donna.
@gotikbn You miss tarja? listen to her fucking songs. you miss old nightwish? Listen to their old songs
You see, there are very simple ways to solve your problems. I am getting annoyed by comments like this. TARJA WILL NEVER COME BACK TO NIGHTWISH, NOR WILL NIGHTWISH EVER ACCEPT HER
@gotikbn I dont have a problem, im a fan of both nightwish and tarja, why would I go off of the video if I enjoy the song? What I do have a problem with is people like you who constantly want the old NW back, well guess what! ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN..... I hope you will come to that realization one day.
Otherwise good song, but the beginning annoyes the fuck out me. I heard it so many times as a child while watching some stupid kids show with a flying snowman. I was like 4 or 5, and it still annoyes me. But after the beginning it really gets good :)
