The idea of Nightwish was "born" in July 1996 at midnight when Tuomas was spending a night with his friends around a campfire. The first three songs, which were acoustic mood music, were recorded between October and December 1996. At that time, the band had three members: Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu. The band wanted to see what the music would sound like if drums were added (Jukka joined the band). Also at this time, the acoustic guitar was replaced with an electric. After a couple of weeks of training, the band went to the studio this was in April 1997. At that time seven songs were recorded. These songs can be found on the limited edition of the album Angels Fall First. In May 1997, Nightwish signed a recording contract with Spinefarm for two records. That More... (Submit New Nightwish Lyrics) (Submit New Nightwish Lyrics) Killer | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wish I Had An Angel performed by Nightwish This is a killer tune. Awesome, bombastic, massive, catchy, heavy, pompous, heroic. Damn, it makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Too bad it got used in that horrible movie Alone In The Dark. Whatever, at least it's inclusion introduced me to Nightwish. Tarja? Anette? ... their both great | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Tarja was amazing... but guess what, so is Anette. Get used to the fact that Tarja's gone and have fun with the new stuff that Nightwish does. I don't really care who sings, important is just that Nightwish goes on as it does cause I wouldn't want to have to do without their music. katy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nemo performed by Nightwish this is one of my favourite songs. i can listen it 10000 times, its so good. with anette's voice nemo is not nemo.... nemo is with tarja's voice. dark passion play is for anette, but older cds are for tarja and anette cant sing old songs. i wish tuomas gives one more chance to tarja... she is so great, i think she is great person, i think she is not greedish as some people say... oh... i miss tarja so much. i love her new era, but.... HER PLACE IS IN NIGHTWISH! anette will never replace tarja... TARJA IS BEST!!! anette has pop voice and i cant get why tuomas chose her for new nightwish voice... in new nightwish i only like that marco sing in more songs.... but.... ooohhh.... TARJA IS IRREPLACEABLE!!! i hope she will be back in nightwish soon... LOVE YOU TARJA!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! katy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slaying The Dreamer performed by Nightwish i love this song very much, its my favourite. tarja's voice is so great, and marco's too. this song is very hard to sing, i tried it. oh, im so sad because tarja is not in nightwish anymore.... nightwish is not nightwish without tarja.... :'-( The Kinslayer | Reviewer: celina ------ About the song The Kinslayer performed by Nightwish I really like this song. It's like most of the nightwish-lyrics. It's really hard to understand the meaning behind the song. What does the 15 candles mean? can somebody tell me zthe meaning of the song? My Opinion | Reviewer: Christa! ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish I personally like Tarja better. Her operatic voice fits with the music. I never knew why she quit though. Although I do like Anette. But when I listen to Nighwish with Tarja's voice, it feels like I am listening to Nightwish (well duh!). But when I listen to them with Anette, it feels like it's a completely different band. Not bad though, just different. I can't think of them as Nightwish when she sings. Voices | Reviewer: ditch13 ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish Opera voice w/ rock/metal music is always an explosive combination to me, it's what make it dark & gothic with elegance. I love Tarja voice, she has talent of a real singer (so is Amy Lee). But after reading some of the comments, it is true that her voice is very stoic and "grand", yet it lacks of the emotion, empathy, and the softness it sometimes needs for the music/song itself. And I do think even metal need a touch of the tenderness in certain situation. Anette has a more common voice to me, like a lot of pop singers, but she can carry out the necessary emotion of the song. They both are totally different so perhaps we shouldn't really compare. If we appreciate the song itself, it should be the music and the lyric that we focus on. If we just look for performance, then it'll be a difference case. n_n nightwish's nightquest | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nightquest performed by Nightwish 'Simply the best way to walk this life Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind' yes that is most deffinatly the best way to walk in this life just beautiful this is indeffinatly my favuorite song by nightwish they are the BEST love them Get over it people | Reviewer: Nightshade ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Personally I love this song and I love Nightwish. I love both Tarja and Annette, I believe their voices are both gorgeous for different reasons. If you don't agree, then quit listening and quit criticizing. Ok? Because Tarja is gone. Get over it. Either quit listening to them since you don't like Annette or shut the fuck up. Have you a mind? | Reviewer: Licenciado Martinez ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish This song ROCKS. Give the girl a break. I didn't like Anette too much at first, but I've gotten used to it and now, I LOVE her. On a more technical note: Tarja is a SOPRANO. Anette is a MEZZO-SOPRANO. She'll NEVER reach the high notes Tarja does. That being said, it's just a matter of preference. Listen to what you like but keep in mind that Nightwish has a new female singer. Things are NOT going to be THE SAME as before. If you don't like Anette (and God knows she's had enough exposure on YouTube for everybody to know her by now)don't buy (burn, copy, download...)any more NW albums and keep listening to the old stuff and Tarja's new stuff (which BTW, I'm not too crazy about). If you liked her, I'm sure you've already bought Dark Passion Play which is AWESOME. Nobody is MAKING anybody listen to the new NightWish. You don't like it? FINE. Move on. Tarja's still around. But I think Anette is doing a HECK of a job and I don't mean filling in Tarja's shoes: I mean establishing herself as a GREAT singer which couples perfectly with the band and their music. I like them both. Tarja's more operatic which was a bonus for the goth atmosphere they presented to the world. Yeah, Anette's more "pop-sounding". So? Is that a crime? I'm not about to buy any Britney's (shivers) albums for that. Still, Michael Jackson's (THE king of POP)stuff is ALL AWESOME. Like you never sung "Beat it" or "Billy Jean" EVER in the shower. Nightwish is STILL goth and STILL kick ASS big time. Dark Passion Play is their BEAT album so far. Looking forward to the next one since I can't get enough of them with just this one. ONCE was awesome. The have gotten better and better with each album, as it should be. If you've gotten this far, you should get a life. There's more to it than this whole Tarja vs. Anette issue. Me? I'm on vacation. You? Peace and love. a | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Tarja and her voice were the things that made me listening Nightwish. After she left the band I didn't even had a will nor patience to hear the songs from a new album(I thought-- The new chick couldn't be a good replacement for Tarja).But when i think now, she was the only one guilty and i wish and hope NW will do better in the future... Song isn't bad after all.Finally to hear some male voice;) Unfading . . . . | Reviewer: Mina ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish The lyrics blow me away. To me, it's about something/someone you find beauty in, a beauty others (even the ones that love you) reject and don't understand. But no matter what, you will always remember it/him/her, and those memories will never fade away. Simply put, Tuomas is a genius. I'd marry him in a heartbeat. This "Tarja vs. Anette" issue may never rest in peace. Tarja's voice is undeniably formidable and has certainly left a great impression on Nightwish's work and fans. It solely depends on you alone whether or not you're comfortable with the transition to Anette. In my opinion, Tarja's voice possesses impeccable beauty and power. Unfortunately, it's stoic, shallow, and impossible to draw emotion from. When I listened to some of Nightwish's earlier work from albums such as Oceanborn and Once, I thought the music was fascinating, and the lyrics were brilliant. I thought Tuomas was my hero, and I still do. But when I listened to Tarja, she drew me further away from the music. Anette's voice has more light within. It may not have that sheer quality that Tarja seemed to have, so it does seem harder to appreciate. But her voice has more grace and emotion than I believe Tarja will ever have. I hope everyone realizes that no matter what, Tarja always has a place in Nightwish and that'll never go away. I also think that the vocalist of any band should never keep you from recgonizing the talent of the band or listening to them. The vocals are simply a part of it all. Maybe the most memorable part to many, but inevitably, still a part. my god, people | Reviewer: Damnphyr Hietala (not joking) ------ About the song Wish I Had An Angel performed by Nightwish My god people! Have we no lives? I know I do. What about you guys? Damn! get a fucking life. I'm just doing this so I can tell you all how much you need a FUCKING life! Plus, I love the song. IT ROCKS! And i'm not joking about the name either. that's really my name. My family isn't american, but i can speak and type it pretty damn well. Like I said, GET A LIFE! the fact stands... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish ...that nightwish hasnt gotten any better over the years, they were always just decent background noise in the metal scene, and although i know what this song is about just hearing the lyrics makes it seem like they are swinging towards the emo spectrum, which by the way needs to hurry up and die so the good bands fighting their way up from beneath emo's undeserved popularity can emerge and bring us something worth listening to. to hell with the new and old singers, pop in a cd by Into Eternity or Iced Earth and get some good music flowing through your pathetic little heads --- The Man The Myth The Metal --- Kthulhu Genres. | Reviewer: XII ------ About the song Wish I Had An Angel performed by Nightwish If you have to classify Nightwish as a certain genre, it's obviously power/symphonic metal. Death metal: Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, so on, they have heavy lyrics, heavy guitars. But who cares? If a song is good, you like it, you don't argue about it. And if you don't like this song, THEN DON'T LISTEN TO IT. God fucking damn, people, get a life. fuck off | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Nightwish you posers have no idea what nightwish was...it was amazeing and then you just jump on the band wagan with who ever the next singer is i bet if annette (or however you spell that bitch's name) got kicked out tonight you would all (and when i say all i really dont mean all just the people who are "pro annette") would be like "dur dur i so hated lyke lyke!! that annette girl im so glad that lyke britny spears is lyke tha new lyke singer of lyke nightywishes lyke omg) honestly you people make me sick and i hope you all get hit by a bus. ...and not just a regular sized bus i mean like a english double decker bus... Oh come on, haters... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Seriously, people who get all aggro over the Tarja vs Annette thing are not getting anywhere. And itt's petty, not to mention unnessecary. You can hate as much as you want, but look at the facts: Tarja was unhappy and thought she could do much better on her own so contemplated leaving after one more album. The band was unhappy as they thought Tarja was condemning the band. Tarja leaves band. Tarja = Happy making her own music. Band + Anette = Happy making their own music. As for Tarja being a total bitch, that's disputable, however there is alot of evidence to support this idea. But no-one will ever know. This song is clearly taking a stab at Tarja. So what? If Tarja was not in the wrong, it wouldn't offend her, it wouldn't apply to her and it would be another one of Nightwish's abstract songs. If she was, it's a well deserved slap in the face for her. Get over it you haters! Enjoy the music, if you liked Tarja better, go listen to tarja. It's not like she's disappeared. Just take your negativity elsewhere. There's far too much negativity surrounding Nightwish at the moment, haters. Get over it. Well, | Reviewer: Scaldrew ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish Well,I know Tarja was acting kinda selfish but if you're here to debate about Tarja or Anette,go build a forum,it's about the lyrics,i don't quite care that she left and that Anette joined,i love the song,that's actually all that counts lol | Reviewer: Seraph ------ About the song Planet Hell performed by Nightwish I can't beleive almost everyone here only knows this song because of runescape. I never played and never will. Don't know if its a good game or not, but MMORGs aren't my thing. Anyways this song is so f**king awsome. Nightwish rocks though unfortunatly the singer got booted, new singer is okay but shes more "pop". Anyways great band great song. Bye Bye Beautiful | Reviewer: Hakob ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish I'm literally killed by this song , every day and night I listen to this one , as for me it's the best work done by Nightwish . As for Annete and Tarja - In this song I think that Annete's voice better ( in all other I like Tarja's voice ) .
