Meadows Of Heaven - Nightwish With Lyrics | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@stephsteph4574]

Finally a reaction to one of the most beautiful song of Nightwish! Underrated but so, so good!

[@Piia2023]

This is Tuomas mother's favorite Nightwish song. Tuomas in one of the greatest ballad composer's thereis, they are all so very beautiful. Check out Eva also with Anette, so so amazing.

[@allenhuling598]

Great piece of trivia, Pia, one of my favorites as well...thanks you!

[@emanuelsolsjo7348]

This song is a bit experimental with the gospel influences but its a really good song. Anette was the singer before Floor. She is often forgotten since she maybe wasnt the best live singer. But several of Nightwish best songs were written during the Anette Era. And The Dark Passion Play album is a killer album. Btw this comment is written by a true old nightwish Tarja Era fan. However i like the newer singers as well. Nightwish will always be my true love no matter who the singer is. Im gonna miss Marko though but his health is more important.

[@stephsteph4574]

There's a concert from Serbia uploaded from 2008 where Anette is really great!

[@1981juhis]

@@stephsteph4574 and overall I think Anette did very good job with "her own songs" on live too. It is just sad that she is often judged because she struggled with some songs from Tarja's era. She said in an interview that they were little bit in a wrong pitch for her and those were impossible to change because of all the recorded orchestrations... So it was a bit unfair for her to even perform those songs live but it's still great they did🤘

[@deeteenw]

Starting as a nice little folk song, taking a little metal ballad detour and ending like a Wagner opera with some soul thrown in. Amazing!

[@erniedinda509]

Well said, an accurate description of this nice song.

[@annukkas]

Thank you for this. Meadows is so beautiful song, I wish it could have more attention. I get chills every time I listen to it. ❤️ Anette has left behind when people are ranting about Floor and Tarja, but in my opinion the most beautiful slow songs of Nightwish are from her era. And she sings them perfectly - at least on albums.

[@mnewm21]

Her live singing was questionable and the change from Tarja to Annette was too big a leap for fans at the time. I was only ever a 50/50 with Tarja songs as I just didn't find a lot of them worked for me and even I will admit the leap at the time was huge as the vocals are not even remotely similar in style or sound! The only similarity is Emppus guitar work and Tomas haunting keys! I do think the musicianship grew in leaps and bounds in the Annette era though as I find the songs on the two albums much more consistently good and now Floor is able to bring the two eras together :D

[@annukkas]

@@mnewm21 Yes, I agree. With a band like Nightwish you have to be able to sing great live. And the change was drastic and confusing - even I was confused and I wasn't a fan back then. I remember thinking that "that's it, now they will be compared to any other female lead band". I was afraid they could lost all of their originality. I am glad I was wrong. Instead they had two masterpiece albums with her. I think Tuomas got a great studio singer for his new vision, but the problem was live performances and the capability to sing the old material. I agree that they have now a perfect singer for all of their work.

[@dmann05]

I love Anette's voice on this song, so beautiful. Troy was so good on this album and on this track.

[@Yronbonden]

I am so in love with this song with Anette❤️

[@darktitus]

I’m glad you made a reaction video for this song, this is a hidden NW jewel that just a few have reacted to.

[@johannessilver8653]

I think this one of the best slows songs too...and maybe the greatest by Anette in NW. She really shines in here and again Tuomas designed it perfectly for the singer, In the end I suppose there is a gospel choir helping the voices too.

[@mardroidmk1393]

I'm two years late commenting: but yes they have a gospel choir backing and doing their bit at the end. I have seen a couple of live performances by Annette where she actually goes into full gospel style mode at the end herself, and she smashes it! She is brilliant!

[@ardiee9931]

React Turn Loose the Mermaids by Nightwish (Anette vocal)

[@deeteenw]

Oh yeah, the one with the unexpected Western vibe in the middle. Love it!

[@Miraie93]

Don't forget to THE HEART ASKS PLEASURE FIRST

[@amax1229]

Anette does really well in the studio. This is an awesome song. 🤘

[@clivehope8409]

Beautiful song by a beautiful woman.

[@yaradmitriev7129]

Great song, so underrated

[@Telepuzique]

THIS is my Nightwish. the best Nightwish vocalist.

[@adikaiologitos]

Great reaction guys. Love Nightwish so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@metalneverdie5315]

Now react Eva and For The Heart I Once Had from the same album...you'll love it..Anette Olzon is fucking amazing singer...Check Out The Dark Element..

[@jimharris367]

My goosebumps have goosebumps listening to this.

[@NicholasCorvin]

*This is from the 2007 album "Dark Passion Play".....and this is the studio-version [Anette-era]. The problem is that most Nightwish reactions are live-versions. The live-versions with Floor or Tarja are killer, no doubt at all....BUT no one will EVER get the FULL awesomeness of the Nightwish -- songs, if the reactors don't know the studio-versions too......because the live-versions are not always arranged in the same way as the studio-versions....best examples: "The Islander", "Last Of The Wilds"....*

[@mnewm21]

this song is so different and yet is so very Nightwish and is one of the few songs I have heard played by random people who have no idea who Nightwish are. Once it was being used at a funeral and I smiled and got a "look" from a woman and so I later went and said to her that the smile was because I was surprised to hear a heavy metal band song playing at a funeral and she twisted up her face at that and I thought oh there is that reaction to metal from those who don't listen to it! To her credit though she went and listened to Nightwish and I think is now a little bit of a fan of their "quieter stuff" and that is my Meadows of Heaven story :D

[@jeffk1482]

I hear you! I love the shock factor too, when I play a Nightwish ballad or more "folk" song by them for someone. Then that "someone" who wouldn't give metal music the time of day says "Wow, that's really good! Who is it?" Then when I tell 'em it's a metal band called Nightwish, they look like you hit them in the face with a frying pan or something! It's fun.

[@crhu319]

It's ONLY metal at my funeral lol. Go out loud!

[@michaelsargeant4993]

Tuomas wrote this for Anettes voice along with Eva which has a totally amazing lyric video .Fabulous

[@stamaalexgabriel2262]

One of the Best balads ever!!!

[@gzin33]

This is my absolute favorite song from Anette. Nice to see her get some love from a channel for once. Thanks for the video.

[@udokreulich6325]

Wonderful Song From Annette

[@eam2564]

Beautiful closing song to their Dark Passion Play album.

[@muistijaljet]

I wept my eyes out the one and only time I've heard this live in Helsinki. I don't even know if they have played that many times live.

[@jimharris367]

My favourite Annette song, hauntingly beautiful 🤘

[@dprphoto]

Great rection! Sahara from the same album is amazing! It's a must for you!

[@70yroldgit]

Played this at my sisters funeral , TEAR JERKER

[@jiivee3797]

Love to listen this when walking in nature in Autumn

[@markgregorio4707]

Tears in mah eyes .. every time i listening to this song...

[@keithteaser]

No matter what anyone says Annette does have a great voice..Its Tuomas who writes music which is complicated to sing to. But that is the genius of the man.I like watching the fan made videos of some of these songs..

[@ThorMNKasp]

Wow. Anette did some amazing work with Nightwish.

[@EphraimSyriacus]

Huge Floor fan but even Floor knows that this song is holy and doesn't need to be touched. A hidden treasure of Nightwish, I even think it's their best song. The best songs are written in the Anette era.

[@karstenstroh1111]

I love this song 💓

[@Kvasaari]

Anette sound great in studio versions. This is one of her best songs.

[@badgerello]

DPP was such a transition album. Toumas experimented with many elements and some of their most progressive and epic tracks. Such a shame Anette just couldn’t cut it with their demanding live requirements.

[@erniedinda509]

Thank you, a most beautiful song.

[@kezca]

Beautiful song, fabulous album. Thankyou.

[@OscarGonzalez-id1ov]

Such an amazing and beautiful song ❤️

[@arya.yudhistira11]

Yess.. this is sooo peaceful.

[@richardgoddard37]

If you like the slow stuff I recommend Our Decades in the Sun off the last album. There's a great lyric video, as they don't do it live because it's too personal.

[@streetready9748]

intro heart melting .

[@justchillin6511]

i love the reactions!!! been watching for a while now. hope you find success. all the best!!!

[@fnglert]

Underrated song, Anette's best imo.

[@eTraxx]

Beautiful music .. great singing .. and Suzi Q is stunning :)

[@danellwein8679]

this may be even better than Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red .... both are beautiful .. great reaction guys ... thank you for this ..

[@ruma9687]

To me this is simply the best song of the band

[@Alvvays667]

Jazz background of Anette and Tuomas shining through in this album closing song.

[@KILLERMANSON]

Really good song (y)

[@MoKoMa82]

The gregorian monks have made a version of this.

[@diceymaan]

Very Disney, very Tuomas. Love it!

[@Payne2view]

Some guest vocalists at the end I think.

[@owedee08]

Suzi so beautiful 😍

[@jerrybk1]

Floor had done this song live in first year on tour with band. There is a you tube version out there. Annette is very good here. She has a great voice for some of Nightwish songs even though Floor and Tarja are more versatile.

[@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD]

Much of what you react to by Nightwish isn’t “new stuff” (other than the album that just dropped). It’s live versions of them playing old songs, Floor basically covering songs originally sung by Tarja or Annette. Meadows of Heaven is from the same Studio album as Poet and the Pendulum, The Islander and Amaranth.

[@mirthenary]

You should listen to some Tristania and Midnattsol😁

[@mikkowarmen]

Killer song!!! The end is fantastic!!! Can you react to the power of one from sonata arctica? Cheers from chile !

[@darkiee69]

Just listening to the guitar solo I'd say that Emppu changed out his EV1 for a Les Paul for that part.

[@peterdeleeuw2575]

Please comment also the heart I once had... Also a little juwel

[@crhu319]

She literally does not sing the chorus line "Meadows of Heaven" the same way twice. The first half orchestral is truly pastoral then gets both Celtic & symphonic, it's hard to compare to anything other than "The Gael" (the theme from Last of the Mohicans), or maybe Wagner. The guitar solo is up there with Roger Waters' best.

[@laatdovahkiin7405]

The only Anette song that I like lol. Nice!

[@streetready9748]

ok she put some of every thing in that one .great pic whf.

[@jaccobenjamins1229]

You better check out 'Adagio cover by Floor Yesterday!!!! Your face will say enough in your reaction...🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😇

[@lujalainen1]

great reaction like always. maybe tuomas can ask janne joutsenniemi to band,he play bass and are vocalist. his band stone start same time like marko hietala tarot band 1985. thanx and have great day there. anette rulez also. this is so beautiful song.

[@Honken55]

Anette did an amazing job on the studio. To weak live sadly enough

[@erasmoaragon5886]

Listen AND react to "slow love slow" with Annete

[@musifique8793]

First, nice vid guys 👍

[@zvolencan1]

Just to let you know, Tank the Tech said that pausing the video has no effect on copyright strikes, so if you don´t want to pause during songs, you don´t have to, you can experience songs in their entirety.

[@IviDanxer]

ANETTE!!!!

[@MustaLaatta]

Marko still had tongue-in-the cheek about Tommy Iommi (Black Sabbath guitarist since beginning of band) It's better that Marko has enought strengt and sisu to make this solution of sabatical time with his loved ones. My deepest respect to him and hope he has time so find serenity and give will to make comeback! I rather to read these headlines, than orbituarys like, Gary Moore, Paul Gray, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston etc. had. And the always joking my favourite actor Robin Williams. Stay safe and take care and remember to ask your family and friends "How's the Heart?" "

[@matiasbelmonte4576]

I don't know why Anette sounded "good" in studio and so awful and painful live. She isn't the greatest singer but her songs were nice and Tuomas composed great albums. It's a pity he doesn't compose anymore strong and heavy songs like the ones in Dark passion play...

[@thegameshark8966]

There are some great singers who just can’t take touring and Anette was sadly one of those singers. Despite this she does have a few really good live performances on KZbin

[@markusstutzmann8216]

I think Tuomas creats the sound of the band in a way that it fits to the singers skill. With every new singer the sound of the band changes. Floor is the best singer so far, but the best songs were writen in the "Tarja-age" (and Floor is not able to create these vibes (another singer, another feeling)). Not only Tarja left the band, their spirit also left......... but they are still insane great and overskilled. It´s a "shame" that Marco left the band......my heart is bleeding :(

[@duncanwyer2460]

My first time hearing this song glad I listened with you lovely people 💘
