Lyrics Alpenglow:
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time a song was heard
Giving birth to a child of Earth and verse
[Pre-Chorus]
Together we slay another fright
Every jubjub bird, spooks of the past
Close your eyes and take a peek
The truth is easy to see
[Chorus]
We were here
Roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here
Grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow
[Verse 2]
Hand in hand, guiding me into light
You, the fairytale guise in blue and white
[Pre-Chorus]
Together we slay another fright
Every jubjub bird, spooks of the past
Close your eyes and take a peek
The truth is easy to see
[Chorus]
We were here
Roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here
Grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow
[Bridge]
You are my path, my home, my star
A beautiful tale within the tale
And when the dust needs to move on
I will tuck us in on a bed of snow
Painting white, silencing the valley we built
Together we'll sleep
Devoured by life
[Chorus]
We were here
Roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here
Grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow
We were here
Roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here
Grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow

Paula, I know when I read the bio I wondered how I am just now hearing them. Better late then never.

[@pauladarkpicarra4057]

Yes there are many still stuck to comercial and pop music

[@angelarichardson5800]

I grew up with Led Zeppelin, Tool, Metallica, Danzig, and unless it was talked about on MTV, word of mouth from friends or in a magazine you didn't hear about it. I wish youtube had been around when I was younger. Of course then MTV became more about reality shows than music.

[@eblue25]

Nightwish is my favourite band/artist post 90s, and this wondrous lady Floor is the BEST thing to happen to them! She can sing the old classics and also the new stuff. I miss Jukka and Marko, but her presence seems to fill all the blanks!

[@depenthene]

I just love how Emppu makes such great impression on band members just by passing by and touching them.

[@georgelyras1978]

Yah he makes sure to spread the love to everyone. He is so happy. I ve seen many shows with Floor. They seem so happy, everything just clicks now. They are wonderful. Please God let me see them once before they either dissolve as a band, or I won't be able to, for any reason.

[@grundlefly]

This is severely affected

[@northof4912]

Uhhhh - he also sometimes turns off her in-ear……. There is a little more behind that smile……. Early in Wacken 2013, you can see him turn it off, and then Floor fixing it. When he goes behind a few minutes later, she spins around so he can’t do it again as he passes!

[@cowb0y101]

i love the little things like Emppu giving Troy the horns up after his flute solo haha. Floor is awesome but don't forget to pay attention to the rest of they band, they are all awesome.

[@jariseppala9719]

Emppu gives horns, because Troy made a mistake in the start of his tin whistle solo. That is why Emppu first glanced behind his shoulder and later shows horns, as to forgive and say that it didn't matter and give support, I think.

[@chadbennett7873]

My favorite thing is Floor moving up to Tuomas' platform to finish the song, then they both give a quick bow of acknowledgement to each other. So much love in this band - their ultimate super-power!

[@chadbennett7873]

@@jariseppala9719 Yeah, that was very cool. Emppu is the ambassador of support in this band - all over the stage!! He walks past Floor in the beginning, touching her on the shoulder just before she sings. I heard her talk about how he does things like that in a interview, being the glue of the band!! He's just so cool!

[@mihaitha]

I love the guitar / flute solo part of this song, it sounds like Emppu and Troy are having an argument.

[@roquecp]

Emppu seems to be a awesome guy! I love him.

[@petrfiala7653]

I liked Nightwish with Tarja, I liked studio albums with Anette (concerts were problem) , but Floor is really queen of the stage and I see, boys are very happy in this time.

Very true. This song for instance, is very nice in its CD form, but the live performance makes it even better!

This woman can sing like no other...her voice and presence is unmatched

[@christianandersen8931]

Three reasons why Nightwish is different from other heavy metal bands: 1. They have a female singer, and an amazing voice 2. The keyboard player writes most of their materiale, not the lead guitarist 3. They are smiling when they play

[@emilyedwards4914]

Battle Beast is another band you should check out. They're power metal, not symphonic, but they also have a ton of fun while performing, and have a female singer that kicks ASS. Delain, also.

[@MrKook]

Gloryhammer is another where the keyboarder writes the music and they're clearly having a blast the whole time.

You are not alone! Floor really has changed NW to the best as much as it could be possible. She is the most reason why now I need to watch their live performances daily.

It's amazing to see how Floor is acting and singing at the same time. She really puts so much emotion in all their songs. It's just amazing how one person can sing all the notes!! When i found out Marco left the band I was so sad! He really gives the band some extra spirit with his amazing voice and guitar play! I just love Nightwish in every sense of the word! Thank you Tuomas for starting such a great band!

[@dieseldog00]

Jukka left a big hole in Nightwish when he left b/c of chronic insomnia. I'm not saying Kai is not a great drummer. He is but Jukka was far more a showman than Kai ever will be.

I still dont understand all those who claim that Tarja is the best vocalist of Nightwish. Floor can do what Tarja does, and much much more. She can do everything, one of a kind vocal beast. This band with Floor is a whole new dimension of awesomeness. Love her very much.

[@daystars-den]

And she is Hot, Floor!

[@eliasandradeschindler9402]

They Just have a compeltly different style, even floors „opera voice“ is much „rounder“ than tarjas. Tarja feels a lot more distinct to the rest of symphonic metal, while Floor has a more Mainstream sound, just very clean. She is also definetly more versatile than Tarja. Neither is better that are Just different. Thats why i prefer the Ghost love score with Floor but will always like Songs like nemo or end of all Hope with Tarja.

[@shimi773]

They are both amazing and one of a kind

[@affiliateanimalistic9607]

Exactly, Tarja is excellent in bringing her style of music and how she makes the band sound. Now Nightwish sound bit different, but still excellent with Floor 🤘🏻

[@Vince_est.97]

Of course but unfortunately they did not show of in a lot of their songs would love to hear way more emppu solos and keyboards like back in the days. I think also that Marco had no space to shine on the new album. I mean just compare master passion greed for example with endlessness I think its clearly in which song he performed better. The sad thing is that Tuomas said before releasing the album that everyone pushed him self to the limit but I didnt see that. Troys pipes and arrangements and vocals where better than on efmb but still way weaker than on tracks like i want my tears back. Emppu has just one short solo, which is really a shame. Marco has just one song with lead vocals where he didnt show off. Tuomas has no solo or crazy keyboard parth. We have such a less amount of lead guitars like on no album before. Kais drums where good and better than on efmb but he is able to do way more like he did in wintersun. So for me as a musican the new album was very disappointing. I could play every song of the album within one hour on guitar. I had so much von of jamming along the diffrent nw albums but the last two didn’t got me that much. Only Floor did an amazing job on the last album and of course the songs are not bad at all and the composing is still great but I expected more from the musicans.
