Tarja era Nightwish for me still is the pinnacle of symphonic metal which has never been reached since (Epica came close but its just not the same). And I recently realized that ghost love score is my most favourite song of all time! It is literally beyond masterpiece status, perfect!

I'm agree with you.

Although I agree that Tarja has a good voice, I like Floor's performances much more - her voice has more variations and ornamentations, and that fits this song better (to my opinion).

[@micheledjubatie9212]

​​​​@@vyacheslav73you must be quite happy with the only Era Tarja song that Floor can sing decently because if you listen to Swanheart, The Siren, Passion Opera, Nemo, The Phantom of the Opera,Ever Dream, Sleeping sun, Slaying the Dreamer in Floor's version the enchantment is gone. Not even the perfect Floor Jansen can match the operatic vocals of the Metal Goddess.

[@vyacheslav73]

​@@micheledjubatie9212 I agree that Tarja has a better opera-style voice. But this is why I didn't like Nightwish and ignored the band in past - there was "too much opera" in their songs. Another point to consider is that Floor, in her earlier performances, tried to match and mimick the Tarja's voice - of course in this case Tarja wins :) Later they adapted songs to her voice and the newer versions sounds better to me. It's just a matter of preference, I guess :) Who prefers the operatic vocals would choose Tarja, who likes a powerful voice with lots of variations would choose Floor :)

[@glenadymond7202]

Jukka is a fantastic drummer. He brings so much excitement to this song. He is so talented with each time signature change.

The new drummer does the job, but doesn't apply the same delicacy as Jukka did.

[@petrickoliveira1351]

I was thinking almost the same. He is an incredible drummer indeed. I just had sync this version and the Floor's version at Wacken and played both simultaneously. I thought I would need to sync again a couple of times cuz of some small differences on the pace. Simply didn't happened. He kept the the same absolute time signature in both all the way to the end! not a f'ing half second of difference

It's been seventeen years since she left and I still feel the loss. Sometimes I listen to later Nightwish, but the music is also different. I am glad that Tarja has her solo carrier, I listen to her songs quite often now, I really love her voice and personality. It was my mistake from the beginning to expect the same epicness from her as from Nightwish. I missed a lot of her concerts in Czech Republic. I didn't even realize how much I loved her for most of my life until I heard her voice again. I was shocked at how much she has improved and how many different projects she is embarking on. Her voice cuts my soul to pieces. This has never happened to me with anyone else, neither Floor nor Anette, whom I appreciate as singers. Tarja is my queen and favourite singer forever. Her era in Nightwish fundamentally defined my musical taste. And now Tarja just confirms it.

[@francescodarcangeli4197]

@@competiti22 This is not exactly how the band sounds live. That is a lot of sound retouching to bring vocals forward, so it is not possible to compare the two of them, since it's pretty clear recent Nightwish videos are much better edited. The band itself is much better nowadays and is far more experienced in lowering their instruments in key vocal segments, especially the guitar, as Nightwish melodies are often guided by the digital strings of the board and the drums. And third, I noticed that this piece was probably much later in the show than the one in Wacken that everybody is watching. Everybody in the band seems already pretty sweaty and tired here and it's clear Tarja is running out of breath. So, we might have to consider the timing of the piece as well.

Surely, i also like Floor's version, but even with the adjustments done and all, her voice is too bright and up for this song. Though, Floor's voice is comparable to a valkiria huh, i hope I'm not sounding like I'm being disrespectful to her or so. Just that, ghost love score is for a mature and deep voice like Tarja.

[@joshuaansley1361]

I've been going back and forth between this version and Floors, for about a week, and i have to say that each one has their own way of making this song unique and equally beautiful.

[@infinitydreamzz]

I wouldn't bother with any of these versions. The original studio version, with Tarja of course, trumps both live versions by a lot, including Tarja's own. Reaction videos of vocal experts on live performances by Floor are just doing an injustice to this song and people admiring any of the live performances are missing the best this operatic song has to offer. On the other hand I like Floor's live performance of "The greatest show on earth" more than the studio version, in conjunction with the videoclip. So there is no golden rule, generally studio versions tend to be better, but sometimes live performances are. In this case it's the studio version.

[@yksvaan1690]

Floor added it to it. Tarja is the better voice, Good?

[@HK-gm8pe]

yes,I think that Tarjas ghostly vocals give this song a special touch :) but I like also Floors version, both are good. Tarja is singing this song in the way it was written, Floor made it her ownby freestyling in the end,its also Floors favorite song of Nightwish :)

[@benjibenning692]

This song is one of the reasons i fell in love with nightwish. but watching this now, after seeing what can be with Floor's 2013 wacken version, this just seems lazy and boring. i didn't think i would think that going in to check out Floor back in the day, but that my opinion now anyway.

[@HK-gm8pe]

@@benjibenning692 I actually just found out that many songs in "once" album have been written about Tarja, this song is talking about Tuomas s love for Tarja and how their relationship has changed especially " We used to swim in same moonlight waters" , "Child will be born again that Siren carried him to me", Tuomas is genius about writing soo beautiful lyrics that makes it even more special ,if you look their end of the era "Ever dream" video then in there Tuomas is literally crying on stage so I think that Ever Dream had also probably something to do with but sadly like someone said music and art is way more beautiful than real life also lyrics like "My fall will be for you, you are the one whocut me so I ll bleed forever" I think that Tuomas is the best writer when he is in pain

The golden era of Nightwish. This setup. I was there. Haven't been on many gigs since then, just because no one else can never make me feel like they did back then. Tuomas was wrong when he afterwards said that "This isn't a religious or something.. It's just a common band and members tend to change." Something very big was broken later that day.

It is always the question of the era, in that you fell in love with a band. I discovered Nightwish around the year 2000, and of course it was the voice of Tarja, which made me fall in love with this band and absorbing every song of them. "Once" was to me such a perfect album, with so many many great songs, their best until today. All with Tarja. After she left, I wasn't so satisfied with Anette, so i lost focus on the band. I checked out the new stuff with Floor, of course she does a great job and seems to be the perfect singer for this band. No doubt. But if you ask me, what is in my heart and my mind, I would always answer: it is the era with Tarja. It is no question of singing style, of voice, of charisma or talent - it is just a question of the heart.

[@janferencik1701]

Ask me what from Nightwish is deeply saved in my memory, and the answer will always be the Nemo song with Tarja. Because in that ERA it was awesome, something special. Yes you could listen to that song on radio every day thats probably why but Tarja also has unique voice. Floor is great. Anette is listeneble, but Tarja... what can I say, I will allways remember the beginning :)
