Nightwish - Storytime (Lyrics)
It was the night before,
When all through the world,
No words, no dreams
Then one day,
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the journey,
I am the destination,
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night,
The elusive high
Follow the madness,
Alice, you know once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium
Caress the tales and
They will dream you real
A storyteller's game,
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another earth
Innocence, innocence, dreams of every man, ah-ah
Every man innocent, every man, Peter Pan
Innocence, innocence, dreams of every man
Every man innocent, every man, Peter Pan
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear

This is probably the best cover version of any cover of any genre of music that I have ever heard. I'd love to hear you sing your songs.

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Waw! Thanks Nikola! :D Yeah, well I am still working on the album. But it really starts to take shape now :) /,,/

[@NikolaBulatovicgnr1994]

No problem, it really turned out amazing, especially these operatic harmonies in the middle and the outro, that is just perfect. Consider Memory or even better Feint for some future covers, and don't skip Serbia on your tour when that album kicks in :D

Hi Chris !!! What a chance LOL ^^ Thanks for that ! Do you have a favorite one already ? :p More Nightwish is to come ! Where are you from ? Hope to see you here again soon :)

[@metalheadmalta]

Hi Minniva, thank you for your kind reply. I was blown away by 'Dark Chest of Wonders', although in all honesty, I have gone onto itunes and got whatever was available!!! Even the strictly non-metal tracks are excellent. Your version of Roxette's Listen to your Heart, similar but very subtly different is absolutely amazing. I hail from the island of Malta, South of Italy in the Mediterranean... warm seas, constant summer and sunshine... Subscribed to your channel. Hoping for an album!!!

God woman you can sing. To take on a song the Floor has done is big task. You absolutely slay it. Unlike most other people attempting her songs you have the untimate trick. Your pitch is right there but the big thing is you actually inhabit the inside of the song, as per Floor. If I can't listen to her ( small shudder at that thought) I would be perfectly happy to listen to you instead. THAT is about as big a compliment as I think I could pay to a singer.

This cover makes a new sound from the original, a more symphonic one! The original has the pop-touch that makes it sticky, but this one... its MAGNIFICO! People said that they can't imagine Tarja or Jansen singing this song over the voice of Anette, but with your voice Minniva, I can really do it without any problem. Greetings! You'll be forever my favorite Nightwish covers producer ♥

[@davehooper4498]

Oh wow your harmonies are to die for your voice is moving and to pull that off which is a very difficult song to do, i,m blown away Minniva, your absolutely amazing. I look forward to seeing new stuff by you come out as well as re-visiting old ones you've done. Beautiful.

[@quynhnguyenngocbao6856]

you're better than original singer!! very talent! perfect voice! I love Nightwish and your voice!

[@SpookiCooki]

She's really great, but Anette has a far wider voice range which makes her more talented. There's more to singing than the sound of the voice you know.

[@SpookiCooki]

I have never had the pleasure of seeing Nightwish live but I get that. Few singers are actually good live. But her studioalbums were impeccable.She can handle very low notes as well as really high notes with both power and accuracy. She helped evolving Nightwish and I think her albums (along with Floors) are the best ones because of that.

[@valoxiii422]

Tarja was beat as soon Floor joined. Floor is like the perfect combination of Tarja and Annette. Not too operatic which Tarja was and far away from being too poppy like Annette. Annette is a great talent but too poppy for Nightwish. Now they can play alot of older songs too which Anette couldnt do. I love them all for what they eachbrought to Nightwish. But Floor is perfect in my OPINION

[@SpookiCooki]

Joe Sandlin I agree that Floor is the most talented one. She's a jack of all trades. She can sing anything. I hope she's there to stay for many years to come.

[@valoxiii422]

yeah shes the perfect fit for nightwish. ive always loved her in after forever as well. shes super versatile. i meana when you can own tarja era songs like ghost love score, stargazers and more in addition to all the new stuff, youre doing something right.

[@robinisomaa]

While I like Anette, you would have been a better fit for Nightwish. This is the best version of this song I ever heard!

[@Aurinkohirvi]

I love Anette's version too. Minniva did great job, the background vocals and chorus were cherry on top!

[@Arafaer]

Floor is probly the best fit for NW althogh Tarja was amazing in so many ways during her time in NW. Floor have a more agile vocal which leads her to be a better fit overall. And I'm pretty sure nobody will be able to beat her vocally on a NW song. I mean she sings great here but I doubt she would be able to outperform Floor on lets say Ghost Love score Live. Cause that is life changing, so is the presence of Floor when singing.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

@@Arafaer You're repeating Floor zealous fans' propaganda. In fact Tarja sings more versatile in Nightwish than Floor. Tarja's two last albums were contemprary singing alike Anette's and Floor's, but her first albums were operatic, and NW hasn't gone back to that since Tarja. Zealous Floor fans choose always Floor as the best performer, but all are not zealous Floor fans and choose favorite performances from other singers as well.

[@Arafaer]

​@@Aurinkohirvi In all honesty i started listening to NW back when "I wish I had an Angel" came out and steadily ever since. Tarja is an amazing vocalist in every way. Probably what has been a part of why Floor shines so good through is that Tuomas Holopainen which has to be one of the modern day`s best writers and musical talents, when it comes to creating music. Have in some way been a tiny bit better at writings songs that suit Floor so people see her as the better one. I will always see Tarja as one of the best, but its easy to get carried away cause Floor have some amazing vocal talents of her own. Which fit NW basically the same way as Tarja did just with another vocal twist and as you say less Opra vocally. But tbh i would much rather have Floor than Anette so NW is in the best of hands in it`s way. Things in life rarely stay the same during a generation. Same goes with music and bands, things change, people evolve and people chose another path.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Personal opinions are personal opinions. Sometimes zealous fanbois do not accept anyone else except their own idol, and mock other ones. I think all of them have their good songs, I have favorites from all of them. My favorite album is Anette's DPP, and Tarja is my favorite singer, but not by much! I love all three of them. But many Floor fans do not know Tarja (nor Anette) well, they don't much care Nightwish before Floor. It is a repeated thing among Floor fans, that Tarja only sings operatic, which is completely wrong. Tuomas compared Anette's and Tarja's singing style, and said this: "The soul of the music, the orchestra and choir, heavy guitars, ballads - the same elements are still there, it's just the voice that has changed. And even though it's a completely different voice, I also think that we left out the opera two albums ago! Even Tarja wasn't singing with that style on "Century Child" and "Once" anymore, so is that change really that radical and dramatic - I don't think so, actually." www.blabbermouth.net/news/nightwish-mainman-talks-about-new-singer-upcoming-tour/
