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) Review about Nightwish love it | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan performed by Nightwish The bad thing is,we won't be hearing anything like this from Nightwish again as Tarja was replaced with a Swedish rather than Finnish singer.Its a real diappointment for those of us who adore this song.I've never heard the new woman singing so i won't say anything about it except for that if they replaced her because of her voice it was a huge mistake,but i'm sure there are valid reasons. Oops... | Reviewer: terindor ------ About the song The Phantom Of The Opera performed by Nightwish I was about to have a go at "yoake" for insinuating that Marco was from Finntroll, and then I realised that yoake is in fact me one and a half years ago ^__^;; Oops... I don't know what I was thinking! Oh gods... | Reviewer: terindor ------ About the song Over the Hills and Far Away performed by Nightwish Okay, I've not read *all* the reviews people have already posted, but here's my two penneths worth. No, the guy was not protecting his best friend. No, the guy was not trying to shorten his stint in prison. Yes, the guy was trying to protect the woman. So indeed the song is about love. Neither regret their affair (which I doubt is a one-off, even though we're only told about one event), since she is waiting for him to come home and for them to be in each other's arms again. Someone wrote, "The protagonist also does not really "love" the woman. Rather than publicly express his love for the woman by telling his friend and being able to spend the next ten years of his life with her, he decides it is better to avoid destroying his "friendship"(all the while continuing to betray his friend) than surrendering all secondary concerns in the interest of "true love."" But have they spared any thought that maybe it is the WIFE who wants it to be kept a secret? But I too want to know who framed this guy!! not the same | Reviewer: Nightwishfan ------ About the song Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan performed by Nightwish Nightwish isint the same anymore now that anette is there its a whole diffrent group wise . Tarja will and is the only one right for nightwish anette is maybe a good singer but she dont got the soul Tarja putted into her singing not agreeing with most | Reviewer: empiremica ------ About artist/band Nightwish i disagree with most i read here... i think tarja was not replaceable with anyone..she was totally amazing ...and still is..what a voice she has and her stage presence totally made nightwish a band that i think was the most refreshing and awsome band to come along since the beatles. i think with tarja leaving they will have missed being one of the best bands in the world.it was just the magic and the right combination.a combination that just happens out of nature. what a sad shame they split just as they were just capturing the worlds attention with their awsome music.i also agree with one of the writers above.tarjas songs cant be done without tarja.i am still sick about their parting ways, and i still want them to get the old nightwish back. and im waiting. Not a break-up song | Reviewer: Mike ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish This song is about how Nightwish wants its fans to pay more attention to what they're trying to get across to "US" , "the fans" , in their music. if all those of you who think its a break-up song would actually listen to the chorus and let it sink in ,you'd realize that "bye bye beautiful" is a reference to the band losing their ..."decorum" because of all the ways we the fans , and the world in general misinterprets the messages they're trying to get across. those who have even the slightest clue what they are saying in the greatest portion of their music realize it isn't about a bunch of "depressing teen-angst bullshit".most of the music is about 'trying to gain an understanding of issues they as a band find important to us as fans...and the world as a whole. As they say in the last line of the main chorus:"You chose the long road but we'll be waiting". ...so...you might not comprehend what they're talking about just now , and they may be getting pissed off about that ... but they're trying to be patient with you. Nightwish rules | Reviewer: Anindya Baidya ------ About the song Ever Dream performed by Nightwish I am from India where only a few people listen to bands like Nightwish. The first song of Nightwish I heard was "Ever dream" and it still remains my one of my favourites. I am a hardcore alternative rock fan but this song changed my taste of music. I sometimes try to sing it aloud(I am male) but I fail miserably. I want Tarja back. Thank you Nightwish. You are such an amazing band. :) :) :) :) Input | Reviewer: Chiyo ------ About the song End Of All Hope performed by Nightwish Once again, I feel the need to defend something that isn't really there. Anyways, props to Nightwish for a wonderful song! I lovecit! Music vid rocks also! Yay, vampires! Long die the undead! Ahem. Now, personally I like Tarja better than Anette (I have Tarja's CD "My Winter Storm" so shut ya traps for a godddamn minute!), but I also like the new feel Anette brings to the band, I love Amaranth and 7 Days to the Wolves. I may prefer Tarja's oparic voice to Anette's (and firmly support the original versio of Nemo), I will not bash either one. Both have their pros and cons and I wish both the best of luck on their careers because both are talented vocalists. I wish Toumas hadn't fired Tarja but I'm sure he had his reasons. Trust in karma. Do I like Nightwish better with Tarja or without? No, not really. I still love the band even though I just recently discovered it. I think both ate awesome, and as long as Toumas continues to write epic lyrics I'm happy and a talking pig can sing for all I care. As to characters, I have never met either woman so I can't say. I'm sure they are both very nice. So, I won't say anything about that. Geography lesson for you morons, Finland and Sweden are like, right next to each other! It's not that big of a difference. Krypteria is a German-Korean band. And those two countries are half a world from each other. So, everyone just cut both Anette and Tarja some slack! One of their best songs. | Reviewer: Megalodon X ------ About the song Nemo performed by Nightwish Truly this is the best song from their album Once and one of the best as well.However as the anonymous user below said Tarja is irreplaceable.I wish I could hear her singing songs like Amaranth.Man...if she sang that song....I'd say that song would be #1 symphonic metal song. Music | Reviewer: Narf ------ About the song Over the Hills and Far Away performed by Nightwish This is a song, and while debating it can be fun, i think it is more important to just realize that when Nightwish wrote it, they probably intended for many different points of view to show up. none of them being wrong. As long as you keep that in mind, then the debate is fine. Now, as i see it, he is doing many different things when he keeps his silence. 1. he is protecting himself from adultery charges which could get him far more serious punishment 2. he is protecting his friend by letting the friend's wife (the cheater) decide if he should know or not. 3. He is protecting the friend's wife (the cheater) from being shunned from society, or possibly facing punishment. All of these actions seem to stem from the immediate reaction to cover things up. However, i think he would have found that his actions were for the best of everyone, including himself. Whether it is about love or not, it really is all up to opinion to me. Oh, and one last thing, i did mention how the events in the song could have taken place during a time when adultery was a crime, however, i did not have the middle ages in mind. Specifically because his "pistol" was found. I doubt Nightwish meant the word pistol to be symbolic so it would be hard to have a pistol in the middle ages. I Miss Tarja | Reviewer: Nikky ------ About the song Nemo performed by Nightwish Tarja has one of the most beautiful operetic voices that I have ever heard. I still can't believe that they were foolish enough to kick her out. I despise that other girls voice, she's okay, but she is no comparison to Tarja and it aggravates me. You just don't get rid of a good thing like that. This is my favorite song by Nightwish. The only songs I like by Nightwish, are the ones with Tarja, and that's why Nightwish is no longer my favorite band. framed | Reviewer: narf3684 ------ About the song Over the Hills and Far Away performed by Nightwish I ahve not seen any discussion involving the very beginning of the song. It is obvious that the man has been framed, yet no one has asked who, and why? The first obvious suspect would be his best friend. Maybe he caught the main character in the act? and decided to get him stuck in jail for it? Or maybe it was his wife, for the same reason? I just thought i would get the discussion started. Write a review yourself | Reviewer: Mysterion ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish So why don't you review the song here then if you think it is so important, and just to not fall in my own trap, i'll write here that i like the song, even though nightwish has done better performances, the islander and Nemo for example. Yay | Reviewer: Genesis ------ About the song Planet Hell performed by Nightwish Nothing wrong with the new singer. But this song shows Tarja as better although I prefer her in Ghost Love Score. TBH, we can't slag off Annette because she's priviliged to be in a band of this quality so let her enjoy it. Also, Tarja was infact kicked out... so if you want to dispute that I'm sure Marko Hietala (love him but still) and the others would be able to answer. Elf | Reviewer: The Poet ------ About the song Elvenpath performed by Nightwish I think this song is okay. It's not a favorite of mine even though I think it's the first song I listened to by Nightwish. It feels like a tribute to Lord of the Rings. I love that series and I love fantasy so I love the lyrics. beautiful song but tarja...ugh. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan performed by Nightwish tarja was a diva, and i love all that she did, even though sometimes her voice annoyed me because it got a little obnoxious at times, but she was a bitch. though she was very well trained. i do agree that maybe anette wasn't the best replacement. she's a small town talent show runner up. nothing special about her voice. but it's better than having some kinda bitch goddess as a singer. Y`all need to shut the fuck up | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Honestly! Just shut the fuck up! You're supposed to be REVIEWING THE SONG here! Not talking about the band's descision to fire Tarja! Not bashing Anette! Not bashing Tarja! I know that there are going to people who don't like Tarja, and there are going to be people who don't like Anette, but for fuck's sake, this ISN'T the place where you go to to talk about that! Go find a forum or something if you want to bitch about that shit! Stick to reviewing here! WT and Nightwish | Reviewer: Krissia ------ About the song Sleeping Sun performed by Nightwish This song always brings me close to tears... It just does. The phantasmal vocals of Tarja are wonderful, I actually prefer the old version over the new. And Within Temptation and Nightwish are both totally different bands, it's not fair to compare them for both are totally different. I actually prefer WT to Nightwish, but that's just me. I like the older Nightwish over the new one, but Dark Passion Play was very good and very well done. Doesn't have to be a bad person. | Reviewer: Mike ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Reading other people's reviews, I seem to disagree with the fact that the person whom abandoned you has to be evil. It could of just been a misunderstanding as one would feel they didn't listen to anything you said. Granted that the song does provide a pessimistic point of view toward the subject, but they did say "we'll be waiting" to imply how they can be forgiven. White Night Fantasy, Nightwish | Reviewer: Patrick ------ About the song White Night Fantasy performed by Nightwish Tarja has a cracking voice, great range. The sound is very much Nightwish and the song does not disappoint. Having just seen them live for the first time, the sound is authentic and utterly fantastic...............keep up the good work!
