"Meadows of Heaven" is one of the best Anette's performances, an epic ballad. You should listen to it

[@hiosono]

Agreed!

[@n.n.9946]

"Rest Calm" rather

[@deniserodrigues1410]

And the live version of that one is gorgeous.

[@annukkas]

That's a very beautiful song, I wish it's going to be on Chase's list. 😊

[@betweenthepanels9145]

Let loose the mermaids is great too

[@staropramen478]

Two Anette songs that I can recommend is "Rest calm" and "Turn loose the mermaids". And just like all Anette songs, I prefer them in the studio.

[@MorusRubra]

I just listened to Rest Calm after a long time and noticed one thing. That song would perfectly fit on some older Sonata Arctica album. I can totaly hear Tony´s voice during the whole chorus" Every little memory resting calm in me..."

[@Triskaan]

Meadows of Heaven, The Escapist and Rest Calm are up there as well. The ending of Meadows is her at her best imo.

[@N3r0ThlHeavyMetal]

The crow, the owl and the dove is also very underrated.

[@rosecoloredgal]

the two albums with anette are the best nightwish ones tbh, i wish people would get more into them. yes, it’s mind blowing to see how amazing they are live with floor, but there are details that don’t translate to a live performance, i wish people would start giving studio versions more of a shot.

Tarja, Anette and Floor have different colours in their vocals and Nightwish evolve gaining a lot with it! We as fans also won that evolution is what make us come back for more... always different but always Nigthwish.

it is, I started to learn guitar this last year and this was my first fingerstyle song ...i played it everyday for months, looove the lyrics

Excellent B-side tracks with Anette as well-- Escapist and The Heart Asks Pleasure First.

[@andrewludwig9251]

Chase, believe me when I say that "The Crow the Owl and the Dove" is one of Nightwishes' most intimate songs they have ever done. It is a duet with Anette and Marko and Troy sings in it too. Be sure to watch the video of the winner of the official fan made video contest--it might even make your eyes a little runny!

[@brianriis3466]

To discover Annette's vocals more, I highly recommend her current band, "The Dark Element". Also, her voice really shines in ballads, like "Meadows of Heaven" or "Turn loose the mermaids". Oh, and "Eva". That one is a tear jerker. And here's The Dark Element: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqWrlYasbrmgmqs

[@m_nivon1652]

She also recently released an amazing album in collaboration with Russell Allen (Symphony X/Adrenaline Mob) named World Apart through Frontier Records.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

She is so wonderful in ballads, but I really like her in intense rock vocals songs as well. "Eva" is so simple, but the innosence of he voice makes it special: one of my NW favorites. Maybe not for metalheads, they don't all like ballads.

[@andrewludwig9251]

People can not deny that the Anette years were commercially the bands most successful years and both albums were all killer and no filler!

[@pro-v7500]

True, her live performances were her weakness though.

[@m_nivon1652]

@@pro-v7500 not necessarily true about live stuff, yes she had bad performances but she generally was great and had great live performances, the reason for her bad performances was that the heavy schedule of tour (specially her last tour with the band ) really had bad effect on her general health and vocal cords, when Annette was healthy she was killer live singer. Edit: some of her reputation of bad live singer come from an unjust accusation of some peoples who were not happy that she did not sang some older operatic stuff live which was by choice and design of the whole band.

[@pro-v7500]

@@m_nivon1652 I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I agree, and I didn’t say that she was bad at live performances. I just said that was her weakness [as NW’s vocalist]. Everyone has a weakness, even floor.

[@grim1570]

This was more due to it being the best song writing years than Annette. Not to bash on her, i don't dislike her, but it was the songs themselves that made Imaginarium and Dark Passion Play so good.

[@Karasuno86]

Thanks to Tuomas, not Annette. Her live performances were simply embarrassing, every single one of them.

[@Piia2023]

The video is inspired by a very famous painting in Finland, Wounded Angel by Hugo Simberg 1903...he never gave any explanation of the painting or even a name to it, it has just been called Wounded Angel.

[@mpark6142]

if you google "The Wounded Angel" , you´ll find more about the painting, which is so dear to us Finns

[@maianation]

I love Hugo Simberg. The garden of death is my favourite.

[@maianation]

Also the great thing about art is that everyone can interpret it the way they want. I see the wounded angel as a metaphor for religion being blind and wounded.

[@pamelakilponen3682]

[@aeonspeace6995]

I really hate when some nightwish vocalist fans talk more about vocalists than the song itself, there is not a song with Anette that is bad, even when dark passion play wasn't written for her range, the nightwish songs are good because are good compositions. Others bands couldn't survive a change of vocalist because of this little detail.

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

The angel Anette in Amaranth , one of my top beloved songs ... ! She rules ! Jukka at drums is real badass and the bassline too ! Marko nails it ! Classic goth , prog metal , from first era sound , but some differend vibes in it ! More dark ... ! Passion played! This song is a gem !

[@ejorbe]

If Tank was watching this he would have paused and have a look of bewilderment and astonishment because Emppu is not playing....wait for it.....his EV-1.

[@Ilionej]

Yeah. Because he....wait for it... forgot it at home. lol

[@Zdynio]

This is ESP Eclipse. Emppu must buy this guitar in Los Angeles 😁

[@Ba_Yegu]

An ordinary ESP that has a story to tell. Just wondering if Emppu still has it?

Diana Ankudinova is a young performer who shocks us with her pleasant voice and takes us into the abyss of events!!! Diana Ankudinova is unique and inimitable, goosebumps from her voice! Diana sings as if she lives in the song! The soul freezes or opens with Diana's voice.

[@amandasuomi773]

And I definitely recommend "Rest Calm" (there are no official live versions). One of my all-time favourites, featuring Anette and Marko. :) Heavy and soft at the same time.

[@zaltuguitar]

I remember reading a bunch of nightwish interviews at the time and the choice for Annette was very very concious. They wanted a singer that was the exact opposite of tarja, and the songs on those albums really reflect that I think

[@hunt3r2525]

Tuomas said in an interview that Amaranth was the song which took the least time to write the music for: two hours (just for the music, not counting the lyrics)

[@IvoryCruzader]

Imho, she shines on the softer, beautiful but emotionally filled storytelling songs. Meadows of Heaven, Eva, The Crow the Owl and the Dove, Slow Love Slow, Let Loose the Mermaids and The Heart Ask Pleasure First come to mind. Rest Calm is one step harder but very good. And For the Heart I Once Had is a pretty good rockish song. So quite a lot to dive into also with her "originals". Studio versions, of course.

[@SasukeUchiha-bz6se]

Slow Love Slow(studio version). A fairy jazz bop.

[@jameswbster]

This popped up on my "Recommended" list back in 2007 from a band I'd never heard of and me randomly clicking on this video was the start of my Nightwish journey. I was hooked right away! :) It's interesting looking back 13 years later and where the band has come. For me, Floor is voice that really ties their music together across all their eras, but it all started for me with Anette and this song.

[@MADNarrativeFlow]

Amaranth was my first introduction to Nightwish back in 2010, oddly enough introduced to me by my roommate when I lived in Japan. Fell in love with them immediately. Even now I still hold them as my favorite band, and this song has a special place in my heart for both the nostalgic value but also because it is an amazing song!

[@ZanTheTofushop]

9:07 love those Easter-Egg-Kind-of-things in music you can sense the first time you hear a song, then find and appreciate the second time...and then becomes a key point in the whole song for only you and yourself only to enjoy every other time you listen to it.

[@DorrySkog]

Nice, more of Anette please. I would recommend "Slow Love Slow" live Montreux Jazz Festival 2012. There is not many good live recordings from Anette ere Nightwish, but this one is really good. Also I absolutely love Emppu's solo it this.

[@kossowankenobi]

The Anette era is such an important part of the band's history. The only time I've had the pleasure to see them live was with her in a small venue and it felt like the biggest early 80s rock concert ever - with masterful orchestration of course. Dark Passion Play is a very special album, and wouldn't be the same without her.

As a quite new Nightwish fan, I love listening to all of their singers. There are differences, as it should be. This song and music video is one of my favourites. I really like when you're sharing your thoughts of the music in these reaction videos. You obviously know a lot more than some of us who don't work or have any musical education. With that said, I recommend a reaction to Majestica and their music video "Above the sky" or "Ghost of Marley" (from their Christmas album 2020). I think there is a lot for you to pick up, because you'll see how talented all band members are. Especially the lead singer's vocal range!

[@suvivainio134]

Anette with The Dark Element 💪

[@darthcylon2250]

First thank you Chase for Nightwish Saturday’s. I look forward to it ever week. As a big Nightwish fan I never want to get into Tarja/Anette/Floor debate. Anette is great in the studio and Tarja and Floor are amazing everywhere. I love all Nightwish songs and eras without question. This is one at Anette’s best vocals I feel on an incredible song written by the master. I will say that I love music ( why I love your reactions so much ) and I never like to hear new lead singers doing the original lead sings songs. I don’t mine new songs with a new lead singer but the old ones belong to the original singer. Floor is the only time this has ever changed for me. I love Tarja and will always listen to her singing Nightwish but I also love every time Floor sings a Tarja song live. I have the original versions and the newer live versions with Floor. Floor just blows me away every time she opens her angelic mouth. All that being said I think your idea of listen to all versions of the songs is a great idea. Not to compare ( stay away from that ) but to see the difference and wonder they all bring. Slay The Dreamer and Dead Boy’s Poem are two I think are like completely different songs based on Tarja or Floor singing them. Thank you for your channel and keep up the great word my friend. You are awesome doing reactions and the best on KZbin doing them.

You should get Tank to react to this and see if he notices Emmpu is not using his EV-1 in this video (apparently the story goes that they filmed this in California and the EV-1 was held up in transit and Emmpu had to borrow the ESP Eclipse II fir the video). 😃 Probably one of the few videos not to have the EV-1 in it!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Annette was a fantastic studio vocalist and I believe her lack of live experience was what brought her undone as she couldn’t keep up with the gruelling touring schedule vocally. It is no way a reflection in her abilities as a singer because she is a fantastic singer. I love her vocal work on both Dark Passion Play and Imaginaereum. Rest Calm Cadence of her last Breath Meadows of Heaven Slow Love Slow Turn Loose the Mermaids The Crow, The Owl and The Dove Eva Sahara Pretty much everything she sings (even her version of The Poet & The Pendulum) is Awesome!!! It was just unfortunate that at the time she was with the band she struggled to perform the songs live. I think it would be a different story now as she has more live experience under her belt.

[@juhanikyllonen1899]

This song was the quickest for Tuomas to write (the music before lyrics). In an interview he said it took less than 2,5 hrs to finish it. And about the video: There is a painting from 1903 by a Finnish artist Hugo Simberg which clearly has given the leading idea to the video. The painting is called "The Wounded Angel". Check it up :)

[@filipedebrito3019]

Great reaction, as always. I'm so happy to see someone reacts to an Anette's song. I'm a fan of the band since Tarja's era and already knew and loved Floor before she joined Nightwish, however I'm also a huge huge fan of Anette, and sometimes I see that she do not receive the recognition she deserves to. She's a talent and very capable singer with a beautiful voice. In my opinion, if you're looking for live performances of another Anette's song you should listen to 'Sahara'. People still calling her more a pop kind of singer as if it was a bad thing, but I really think that she rocks and brings some agressive quality to live shows too, that Floor usually brings indeed but w/ too much perfection in her technique, sounding overcontroled for me (not compete with voices too, of course). Anette has a natural angelic tone in her voice, but also belts a lot and brings energy and passion in her live moments.

[@chrislawton2062]

Chase, Since you are going back and looking at alternate versions of songs, I'd recommend looking at Tarja's version of Ghost Love Score. The arrangement is completely different; so you will really get to see how Tuomas makes changes depending on who he is working with. I'd also recommend the music video for The Islander. It's a fantastic piece of art, and one of the finest music videos I've ever seen. Also you might want to take a look at the acoustic versions of Nemo and Where's the Heart that Floor and Troy did for Planet Rock.

[@NicholasCorvin]

@@darkiee69 on the wacken version yes. But Buenos Aires 18 the background is higher. Wacken is a bit special as it was outside and its a festival

@@Honken55 Do you mean the one from dec 15th 2012? That's when Floor was still, more or less, fresh of the plane. It was after that that changes was made to let Floor have more space, and more say in how she wanted the songs to be.

one of the first Nightwish songs I have ever heard remember listing to it for days

[@Dreded100]

Anytime I see a reaction to this song I have to point out an interesting version of this song called "Reach". Its the demo of the song recorded with Marco on vocals with the same music/verses and a different chorus. Definitely worth checking out.

NIGHTWISH - Planet Hell (OFFICIAL LIVE) with Anette!

[@stups9975]

They have a lot of good songs in the Annette era. Slow Love Slow, Meadows of Heaven, and my favorite Rest Calm (unfortunately that song has no official video... but it is a masterpiece). Two of their best albums came from the Annette era so that says something.

Rest Cam is awesome 🤘🏻

There is a story behind this song. In Scandinavia there exists a painting of two boys carrying a hurt angel. This painting is named "Fallen Angel" and is the background to this composition. Furthermore there are two explanations to what Amaranth is. The one: Amaranth is a cereal. The other: In Greek Mythology it's the name of a beautiful flower that never dies. ;)

Once again, glad to have a perspective talking about more than just what the vocalist is doing. Anette era Nightwish does have a lot of good choices, and yes her voice does have a different quality than Floor and Tarja. My two favorites are Amaranthe which you obviously have seen and "Escapist," but there are many other excellent songs.
