NIGHTWISH - Amaranth (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@_stxtchxs_5160]

Some people like Anette, some might prefer Tarja or Floor. But deep inside we all know Marco was the true queen of nightwish

[@curveiscurve3703]

Yes officer, this comment... It's beautiful.

[@mikeira]

Yes!! Love his voice

[@HK-gm8pe]

heh , I love Marco...just saw them sharing stage with Tarja some years ago, people in the public were in tears, I cant even imagine Nightwish without Marco ...but then again in the first I didnt imagine it without Tarja either :D I hope that Marc is not leaving permanently

Tarja was the reason we all like Nightwish. Floor is the reason they gained new popularity. But this particular song with Anette will always be my absolute favorite. It's contemporary, it's short & sweet yet heavy and hella melodic. She owns on this song.

[@YOURRACHINAPRIL]

Agreed!

[@Under-Kaoz]

Floor was the end of them 😭

[@pradipbhattacharya661]

Anette's best song in nightwish is last ride of the day ,according to me

[@TeddieSage1987]

I think this is Anette's best song on this disk. People were so mean to her. Thanks for all your time in the group, Anette. And this comes from a huge Tarja and Floor fan.

[@TeddieSage1987]

PS. I'm going to miss Marco's presence in the group. He was so epic.

[@walkawaycat431]

Agree!

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

This is my favorite NW album to be perfectly honest.

[@jorgeivanoff]

Las.3 son mágicas

[@brianwillson9567]

I agree with you totally. DPP an excellent album. Imaginaerum, to me, the best NW album. Annette took a lot o the NW party. Ok, she could not do the Tarja operatics, but to me the only ‘failing’ is Poet and that is not her fault. Poet needed to be recorded when it was, but it had to wait for Floor to be performed ‘properly’.

[@BlackFlag1719]

The video was inspired by Hugo Simberg's painting "The Wounded Angel," which is Finland's national painting.

Its a good catchy song, but I will never understand how people can prefer this over the absolute masterpieces like 'Bless the Child' , 'While your lips are still red' , 'Creek Mary's Blood' , 'Nemo' , 'Come Cover Me' , 'Sleeping Sun' , 'Shes my sin' etc.

[@dvduadotcom]

One thing I love about Anette Olzon's vocals in this song is the alliteration and pronunciation of words, especially that, "Caress the one", and the hoppiness of "the hiding amaranth, in-a-land of the daybreak." It's just SO fun to sing.

[@leshanty]

This is a prime example that nobody owns this song like Annette did. Everyone is arguing over who is the better singer, but all three vocalists have their own captivating qualities that make their respective eras special in their own way. Tarja for opera, Annette for pop/folk, and Floor does a little bit of everything with finesse. Still, Annette's voice had a way of cutting through the mix and she did a great job with voice inflections and accents.

[@envii9443]

You forgot Marco there mate

[@pedjavukmirovic6770]

Naaaah. Lol poor annette

[@Spottedleaf-yf4lk]

This is more her style of music. People who criticise her most of the time it was when she was singing songs written for Tarja.

[@80chisco]

Because this song was written for Annette so she can use her full vocal range but older songs were made for a soprano singer so she can never top that

[@SoulFullOfMusic81]

"nobody owns this song like Annette did" BBBWWWWAAAAHHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@trentoleksuik534]

I love Anette's tenure with the band..Her vocal melodies and phrasing are absolutely excellent.

[@HPTeguh]

It's fascinating that each singers have their own songs that only each of them can perform brilliantly

[@patrickmichaud4196]

The songs are made to fit the singer... Tarja's era sang by annette doesnt sounds like we would expect it to because the song are written that way... i like how the arranged all the song from tarja to floor they did a great job making songs that still sound like nightwish with different singers

[@JamezP]

@@patrickmichaud4196 this song was written and arranged before Anette joined just like this whole album all they knew is how to write a song for Tarja but they made it work bright rock voice instead of dark opera one? it works songs from once work with Anette as well because of more mainstream approach dark passion play is similar to once and nuclear blast provides way better quality and opportunities so I guess new era of nightwish started with once

[@kevintatum4903]

My first nightwish experience was this song. They are an amazing band. Oddly they don’t seem to have much American following but I don’t know why.

[@XBluDiamondX]

I agree. My first exposure with Nightwish was me listening to songs I've not listened to on Spotify and the song Elan was the first one I listened to. I'm not sure if this genre of music is popular in America compared to today of R&B, hiphop, and such.

this chorus is so captivating :) Her voice is cute enough to make it soft but epic at the same time!

[@veikko3152]

The contrast between her voice and the instruments is what makes this song so great. Swift and high glowing vocals with precision contrasted by high gain, low, bassy instruments relentlessly marching on framing her voice is what makes this song imo. God I love contrast.

[@stasa-X]

I love Amaranth, this song is Anette's song like Nemo is Tarja's song. Elan definitely is Floor's song. Tuomas has a brilliant mind. Three catchy songs for each one,in video clip. I love NW ❤️.

[@MrAidelAfif]

Thank you, night wish fans

[@QueenOfTheDead2023]

Nemo is a fantastic song for sure, but I'd like to wager that (in terms of songs that can be considered Tarja's magnum opus) it's more on even ground with Ghost Love Score. Nevertheless you make a good point.

[@stasa-X]

@@QueenOfTheDead2023 Those three songs released as video clip songs for the Once album, DPP and endless forms most beautiful,are catchy songs,short and easy for radio stations to play ⏯️.

[@luxferrewolf7629]

Amaranth is a type of perennial plant for those who keep asking. I don't want to tell anyone how to interpret music, that is always a personal exploration but I think one way to look at this song's meaning is that you should try to find the thing or person that brings you joy in life and to always hold onto it even through the tears of sorrow that life brings. This video is based on a painting called 'The Wounded Angel' by finnish painter Hugo Simberg which was voted as Finland's national painting at the Ateneum art museum in 2006. The beauty of the amaranth could also be symbolic of romance or resurrection such as the greek legend of Amaranthus, a hunter who was killed by a tidal wave caused by Poseidon; Artemis, goddess of the hunt, revived him in the form of an amaranth flower.

[@kevzo2291]

[@MarcelVos]

idk about Tarja, but Floor can defenitely sing Amaranth. No disrespect fro Anette though.

[@deselmsgroup]

Floor can sing it, but it just doesn't sound or feel the same. This song was what basically sold fans on Annette and she pretty much owns it, IMO. This is usually what happens when a singer records an original song and the fans come to love it, though...no other singer is ever going to get it "quite right" to the ear. I think Floor is an awesome fit for Nightwish and I don't think Annette really was, but when it comes to this song...it's all Annette, for me.

+Kevin Deselms ah yes, that makes sense. The first time I heard Amaranth, it was by Floor.

Tarja, Anette, Floor,...all sound amazing... What ever you boys do - sounds great.. Personlly I would no fight against hearing Marko putting some gouts here and there - yet you can blow the way - who ever is there...

[@Blitzless_Aim]

I don't understand the discussions about who is the best nightwish singer. In my opinion all did a great job. Because of the changes nightwish is always interesting to hear, because every singer created an own style. So great work Marco, anette, tarja, floor and co👍

[@greyknight9638]

People just don't like change. I get why people didn't like Anette due to the style change in the music but I still think she did a fantastic job. I don't hold any preference over her or Tharja. Haven't listened to Floor yet tbh.

[@RejectedInch]

Well, taking a soprano voice ( Tharja) away and replacing it with a pop style voice, simply took away the identity from the band. It doesn't mean good or bad, it means that the atmosphere, mood, identity is no longer the same and the band itself can be heard like any other mass metal bands now. It lost "the bite" . Comparing this voice with the soprano print of Tharja there's an abyss between the two, so, in this case, more tha disliking changes, is disliking the fall from a peculiar, strong, unique identity to the mass. Without any disrespect for the Anette, simply her voice doesn't fit with this genre of music. :)

[@MisterLyricist]

Anette is a soft rock singer with theatrical sensibilities. These strengths were emphasized on Imaginaerum. The fact of the matter is that Nightwish never lost any "bite"... the group simply took on a new identity with Anette (as has happened again with Floor). People are always quick to despise change, but there was nothing wrong with the transition from Tarja's metallic vibrato to Anette's character singing. Bear in mind that all forms of music can interact with one another however any composer pleases (Tarja's lyric soprano would've never melded with metal fifty years ago, right?), so Tuomas provided us with an immensely distinct combination of heaviness and tenderness that only Anette could help contribute to. Her torch singing was lush and vibrant! She was meant to signal something new, not replace that which once was. And honestly, I think that Anette was better for Nightwish in the long run and am glad that she got to record two strong albums with the boys! When people compare, all they wind up doing is selling the music and the vocals short of what they really are.

[@OrientInLeagueOne]

Tarja is the clear answer though! ;)

[@kevinb1900]

Agreed dude, theyre both fantastic in their own right

[@stineh460]

Anett i remember meeting u and the rest of Nightwish at afterparty after a consert in Glasgow many many yrs ago… it was great. and what was even better… well when i was to go home i did get driven home in the Nightwish tour bus along with my friends… i totally love this album and i think it is a shame that anett aint singing in Nightwish anymore….

Tekst piosenki: Baptised with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Reaching, searching for something untouched Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak

[@angh3ll202]

I almost turned the captions off until I realized this was finally my chance after 12 years to finally figure wtf she was saying in the chorus 😂🖤

[@RicoLen1]

This was the first song from Nightwish I'd ever heard, it's been 12 years since then and they're now one of my favorite musical acts of all time, and I still regret not having heard of them sooner, during the Tarja years, but I think it was a blessing in disguise, as Annette Olson being the first vocalist I'd heard of theirs made her much easier for me to accept than had I gone from Tarja to Annette. I agree with the general concensus that Annette was their weakest vocalist, but I think she's pretty damned great, too, and Escapist is still my all-time favorite Nightwish song, and it's a song neither Floor, or Tarja could pull off as well as Annette did.

[@0501pat]

Its 2021, and still listening to this beautiful song. 👇

[@OurFoundingLiars]

Nightwish is a unique power metal band. The 99 million views indicates that the power is not just in the genre name, but the song must keep playing in order for Finland’s electric and power supply to maintain. They are rhe key to solving the energy crisis. What is their secret? Why is Finland hiding the truth from us? Keep asking questions, investigate nightwish.

[@romansolovjov4679]

It's simple.This is Finland.I was there a lot of times,it's a magnificent country.I dare to say that Finland is one of the best countries in the world.

I found this song, after I don't know how many years since I last hear it, by chance because I was looking for what "amaranth" was. I saw the thumbnail and clicked on it because why not... Immediately it brought me back all those years to the days of early high-school where my only friend was a girl 5 years older than me that liked this kind of music and she would show me them on the bus rides between home and hs... Man... it's been so long since I last saw her...

[@dean1618]

Even though everyone says bad stuff about Anette I think is probably my favourite nightwish song!

[@thevengefulone6404]

Never forget Anette Olson!!!! Such a great Voice...

[@iamcalledanna3240]

NW were the first metal band i've ever listened to in my life. I was 8 or 9 years old when i heard Bye Bye Beautiful on tv and i didn't actually even know that they had a different singer before Annette but i will say she's my favorite. Tarja is my close second favorite but everytime i hear Annette i just get happy, and when i hear Annette and Marco together i get completely ecstatic. It's now 2020, i'm almost 20, i still miss Annette and Tarja but i still absolutely adore this band

[@guillermoruizrojas]

Opinion on Floor?

[@petarpredrag9987]

Never really clinged on to any songs but there was a period when there was no one and nothing in my life but this song and if any song ever meant something special to me it's this one. I was 37 when I first heard it and at that age you don't get impressed easily

[@jasv49]

I love this song. It sounds poppy and all at first glance (and I don't have a problem with that at all), but when you listen past the choir, orchestra, vocals, synths and whatnot, you get to a kickass, groovy main riff. Ton of fun to play on guitar, if I might add.
