😊 For this cover I have a bunch people to thank! Let's start with Alexander! The violinist!! :D
★Alexander Rybak is a fellow Norwegian. We came in contact via our common KZbin Network nordicscreens.no/
Considering all the requests I have revised for this song, It was clear to me that this should be the perfect song to invite a violin in on, and no other then Rybak him self! Alexander is a great writer, composer, singer and actor. Here is some links to his work :D :

★Frøy Nilsen, a friend that I've known since high school. A brilliant photographer and an artist. One of the most creative people I have ever known! Thank you so much ^_^
★Vidar Askeland! This is a funny story. I'll try to make it short ^^
When I was along filming for Endless Forms Most Beautiful, this drone pilot came to my location, and wondered if I was soon done filming, cause he needed the location to take picture to a calendar he was working on. This is how that meeting ended up :D
★Anne Gro Børresen (My dear Mother) for helping me finding costumes :D And hey! She is a GREAT painter! Have a look guys: fotsporene/?...

Nightwish - "I Want My Tears Back" ( Lyrics )
I want my tears back
The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat
A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me
I want my tears back
I want my tears back now
A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone
A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me
I want my tears back
I want my tears back now
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me
I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

[@THEFINALHAZARD]

How the HELL you managed to get Alexander to cover with you is INCREDIBLE! It turned out WAY better than I could have imagined!!! Your voice coupled with that epic violin playing of a real Eurovision winner is a combo that CAN"T be beat!

[@survivrn0299]

Minniva's voice + Alexander''s violin + Nightwish's song= SOMETHING AMAZING! I was dreaming about that collaboration! Love all of your work but recently you have very good time. With every friday I am your bigger fan Greetings from Poland!

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Thank you so much! /,,/ :D

[@Learn4Live]

SurvivørNø029. I would say that Minniva's voice + Alexander''s violin + Nightwish's song= a sweet visit to the MEADOWS OF HEAVEN where EVA enjoy such beautiful music with us!

[@Quasihamster]

Bigger than the sum of its parts.

[@granduquexellos]

Rybak covering Nightwish, Am i dreaming? O:

[@MinnivaOfficial]

He sad yes right away /,,/ ;)

[@granduquexellos]

Minniva Official You're good couple, a good singer and a good violinist/singer. Thanks for this cover. Regards

[@illisa24]

WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE

[@cloudstrife5174]

I think Rybak is fan to Iron Maiden so ofc he play metal sometimes ;)

[@catangry9751]

Rybak- charming

[@kimseymour5250]

I can't stop watching this! Alexander looks like he's having the best time, as do you Minniva! This is epic!

[@LuiKang043]

Kim Hedges I know right?! I kinda developed a man crush for him! Amazing guy!

[@kimseymour5250]

LuiKang043 haha 😂 not going to lie, he is pleasing to the eye 😜

[@tungdao6065]

Wait Alexander Rybak covered Nightwish? OMG is this for real?

[@MinnivaOfficial]

A real musician can do everything ;) And some just might need a little push into it /,,/

[@kcthefree5976]

@@MinnivaOfficial so true btw your sabaton covers are the best

[@user-cj7ub6qi2f]

Удивлена что Рыбак каверит Nightwish, но ещё больше удивлена что внешне он такой же как 12 лет назад, очень юный

[@Максимилиан_Пирейро]

это потому что не женат))

[@diana73654]

nice surprise, Alexander is a great artist, you should sing more songs with him, seems you two and Quentin fit perfectly :)

[@fredylol1483]

Andrei Marasoiu Agreed 1000000%

[@mushugordon1]

Dude did win Eurovision after all.

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Thank you guys so much! This was a looooot of fun :D If you want to see how this video was made and more, go to my second channel to see the BEHIND THE SCENES of this video production ;D /,,/ ((Behind The Scenes)) - I Want My Tears Back kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJWbp6SrlLekkJY

[@alejandrobermeo2380]

Minniva Official I love you....

[@Roman18C]

Minniva, everything is good and everything is clear, but question: where did you and how did you FIND/DIG Rybak?))) Because even in our country (Russia) he is already fogotten, and I have not heard about him for long time))) may be you should keep this tradition to work and perform with our Russian musicians, because we have a lot talents)) for example rock vocalist Petr Elfimov (Петр Елфимов)

[@BloodyBay]

Miss Minniva, my question is "Where did you find that waterfall? It's _gorgeous!_ Maybe not as gorgeous as you, but still...waterfalls are so majestic!" 😊

[@Caustic12]

Holy friggin, hell, Minniva. This made me SOO happy. Thank you for all your work on this one.

[@johanwikman2799]

It's fantastic to see all the love and effort you put in your videos. Amazing singing, violine playing and you found awsome locations for the video. All love to you Minniva

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Awesome! I am glad you like it Johan ^_^

[@DanVasc]

Amazing as always, northern girl ;)

[@MinnivaOfficial]

:D

[@barryfilter2364]

What a GREAT performance from both off you.This version kicks mega ass and will go down as one of the best cover you have ever recorded.

[@Tochi.]

This was so much fun to watch!!! Especially from 3:20 to 4:20. EPIC! Everything was amazing. The video, the vocals, the instrumental, the violin... Quentin did a great job with the music and Alexander was outstanding \o/ I have no words, this was EPIC.

[@barryfilter2364]

Did I ever tell you how great this version is, and how much great energy and lust for life you and Alexander are able to generate. This song makes you want to dance and hug people....really great work. Listening to it , is like watching sunshine dancing on a field of flowers..... Ok enough with the soft touch this is a metal channel :)

[@ash9622]

Не важно сколько лет. Исполнение чудесное, и Саша шикарен.

[@user-si2yt1sq5s]

Воистину!

[@aspinseltras9715]

и правда,великолепно

[@alexanderlakisov6067]

You are meant to be the next Nightwish female singer.

[@MinnivaOfficial]

/,,/

[@jeffk1482]

I second that!

[@LucasMRBraga]

Love Minniva, actually listen to her more than Nightwish itself BUT Nightwish is doing amazing with their current ensemble. Minniva is a cover goddess and that range is what makes her special \m/

[@Scorakos7]

she recieved a massive compliment from Tarja actually !!! look here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKmzfGSZl9SGmM0

[@arcanecathedral1027]

Buhahahahahahahahahaha

[@lindanikiel4221]

Wow. This just leaves me speechless. I love Nightwish and as a violin player, I adore Alexander Rybak and his style. And your vocals are on the point.

[@RehnStillnightOfficial]

When you sing Marco part 😍 what I lobe about you is that you can easily sing male parts so beautifully! Amazing!

[@MinnivaOfficial]

You'r so sweet! Thank you big time Rehn :))

[@thesaltybeard1793]

She's kind of cheating though to achieve similar power as Marco, she has three different versions of her doing marco's part at the same time. Still, it's great haha

[@fanvoda8501]

Rehn, you're an angel too. :)

[@gamblerfls]

Not saying that Minni did Marco's part bad, but I would love to listen Alexander doing it. His voice is amazing.

[@nemomontana4296]

We don't want our tears back. Not the ones we have it of you because of joy. Long live Minniva!

[@upgrowth]

Need to go to sleep, but just can't stop listening this. Absolutely fabulous!

[@Andy_val]

Now that is something I did not expect to see today: A former Eurovision winner collabing on an amazing Nightwish cover.

[@unitedcamos]

Alexander prowess with the violin and an insanely voice - interpretation on every voice Minniva does. Now I'm a fan of both of you guys, really nice colab!! Please do more songs together.

[@yamikatie8226]

The violin was STUNNING! I also really loved when you sung lower.

[@AriaEleanor]

Oh my gosh, this is so wonderfull. That joy radiating from both of you. This song is already one of my favorite.

[@lesvance01]

Thank you for putting these videos together! You and your friends are a lot of fun to watch. I'm sure it's a lot of work, but you all seem to be having such a good time! Very infectious. My wife will tell me "You've been watching Minneva videos again, haven't you?"

[@MikkoRantalainen]

How come algorithm failed to suggest this to me? Alexander Rybak and Minniva covering Nightwish should be pretty easy suggestion considering my view history.

[@JuhaPasanen]

Totally amazing!!! You always give equal or better version!!!

[@marcinxxxp]

Miss Your videos style from 2016... Was so great to see You more than only next to the microphone. Thank You for Your hard work, You was and will be EPIC...

[@efrainalvarez3986]

Hi minniva, I always feel happy when I listen you singing . It brings me up when I am feeling down. Excellent job girl! Also Alexander has done an excellent job playing the violin. Wow girl you are the best! Love you! Thanks!

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Aww dear! Thank you :D

[@brianfuller7691]

This was incredible. Your vocals are incredible and so is Alex Rybak. This has become one of Floor' s signature songs and you killed it.

[@andrewmayo9400]

One of the best songs off that album. I'd love to see you do this whole album

[@AsVol27]

This is soo amazing! :D I love it, you prove with every new video that you're becoming better and better at what you're doing!

[@adriaormazabalmunoz4230]

I wonder if your talent knows a limit. I hope not. As everyone here was waiting the whole week. Just... breathless, amazing.

[@blakast]

I can't even explain how much i love and respect your work. You took me to another world. Thank you

[@teamskullgirls6403]

I use this video as vocal warmups this is a testament to how good this cover is

[@katrenafratric]

Yes!! I love Alexander he is so talented and this cover makes me so happy! Amazing job to the both of you!! 🙂

[@skyguard3942]

Could you do Edge Of The Blade from Epica

[@charliethetraveller]

Fantastic cover. It´s awesome the way you manage both voices, the instrumentation is also top. Need to hear the rest of your videos

[@HenryKhiev]

Never heard of this song before but the chorus is forever stuck in my head! Amazing Cover Minniva!

[@evabalogh5669]

this is amazing! I'm big fan of Alexander and this song.... woww! Fantastic!!!

[@johnguestabacusschoolofmot805]

Absolutely brilliant Minniva. You clearly had fun doing this cover of one of my favourite Nightwish songs.

[@stonecoldsober1299]

Watching the fun you guys are having - and knowing that it is joined by serious hard work and time, makes me appreciate every track you do so much more.... Especially as you dont have a full crew just working for you - its all you, and what you can achieve. Awesome

[@kylehaynes061]

I can just watch her covers all day. So beautiful.

[@flouisbailey]

All the voices in one super package! You are a supergirl!

[@cholxpunk8881]

ALEXANDER AAAHHHHH IM SCREAMING!!!!

[@paulobrandao1546]

This is amazing... the fix are best! Good job!

[@meltdown__6394]

Just bought this song and another one on amazon. This is great music. Thanks.

[@javirodry]

Gosh!!! its great! I like the fusion . I am a big fan of you Minniva. Gratulerer!!!

[@IvanPetrov-rs1kq]

Excellent!!! Perfect!!! Out of earth!!!

[@heidilikez2sing]

Minniva and Alexander, your tribute to that song moved me almost to tears. I wish you all the best, ARTISTS!

[@katzparov]

This cover is nothing short of sensational. What an incredible voice.

[@virgiblue4194]

WONDERFUL MINNIVA

[@luisfernandomunoz6315]

I miss you Minniva. I am waiting for your comeback. 2023 and I'm revisiting your channel. Your Nightwish covers are my favorites.

[@JaguarStar999]

The violinist is very good, and this cover is great. It's so cool that you sing both the male and female parts, and that you're finally losing your seriousness. Don't get me wrong, I also like the covers where you are serious and shy....but seeing you jumping, playing, and getting crazy is so fun, and adds so much beauty to the cover, and those Nordic woods behind you add even more beauty. Like somebody else said, your cover makes me happy!!! You should form a band, and include the violinist here and the guitarist that helped you in The Siren.

[@samikoivisto7705]

Absolutely Awesome!

[@shomnath3385]

Superb !! Loved it

[@fetheraquila4950]

Well worth the wait. Nice work.

[@rlswiss7518]

This is so epic! Both of you are amazing! Nice to see you Headbang, absolutely stunning!

[@Meltdown1918]

I have listened it 30 times in a row. Great song.

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Go for 31 !! :D Is it your favorite on the channel ? :p

[@Meltdown1918]

I am busy listening multiple times all your songs, it takes a loooot of time. Keep doing your awesome job :D Do you mind doing some Avantasia or Edguy covers? Would be awesome!

[@impp18]

This was fantastic! Beyond that, it is clear you both enjoyed making this. Bravo

[@daniellemoore7314]

I think this is my favorite cover you've ever done!!!! Amazing as always Minniva and Alexander!!

[@MinnivaOfficial]

:D

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

Wow! This was a fun one to watch and listen to! The scenery in this alone is gorgeous, and then you just added more to it! ;) The music was awesome!

[@stanislavzitta6687]

7 minutes of pure awesomeness!

[@martytracey6205]

Great production quality. Vocals are impeccable as always. The fiddle was fantastic!

[@MattMetalRck]

this is amazing!!! you are the best!!!!

[@viktorlafontaine6222]

Both performance were incredible. Amazing guys. Wow.

[@jaroslavskola9069]

Holy moly …. just perfect expression. I love this every time you stay human .... without pretense.

[@alperylmaz8148]

Awesome as always.

[@danielalvarado7420]

wow! its incredible... I love this song.. I would like that cover more songs of nightwish :)

[@jimenajimenez5139]

This is such an amazing cover. I love it.

[@gippula]

3:16 ---> got chills. Great cover!

[@luistanimoto]

It is wonderful . I love this song Minniva. Thank you .

[@yuhsey]

That was so energetic I freaking loved it

[@lothien75]

keep rocking ... excellent work

[@Agordas]

Wow! Really great performance/great singing! I loved it! :) The footage with the waterfall is so amazing! The rippling water with your movements in front looks awesome and fits perfect to the music!^^ Wish I could travel some day to Norway and become witness of this awesome nature! And of course meet you there!;) You are so lucky to have it directly in front of your cabine door! It is very entertaining to watch Alexander perform... seems to be a funny guy :D After your video I directly had to watch some of his videos :D

[@MinnivaOfficial]

Cool that you like it Andrè! :D Yeah, there is some real beautiful places around here ^^,

[@madcin1]

Amazing! Great cover collaboration!!!

[@1971caz38]

Very cool. Love this song nonstop.

[@GothicNight21]

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a nice cover !! I luv it !!

[@feerrnn]

Amazing !!! Such a great performance. love from Brazil

[@Guillotepy]

Wow! Awesome video! 👏🏻👏🏻 Sending greetings from Paraguay (South America) ! Successes always!

[@Sam-sr9zq]

This video starts with the opening instrumental, Minniva belts the lyrics "I WANT MY TEARS BACK" just before Alexander Rybak goes hard with the violin - great start, very hype. The version of this track that is sold on iTunes has parts of it missing, like Minniva's first line that should give the song the impact it has in this video.

[@carlenss]

Amazing! Just amazing

[@buckysti]

Wow, what incredible range. Nicely done!

[@edgarzambrano9636]

THANK'S MINNIVA!!! AMAZING COVER, I ENJOYED SO MUCH!!!

[@oanastoica6472]

Omg! It is amazing! Alexander with his violin and you with your beautiful, beautiful voice. Plus Nightwish, my favorite band. Am I in Heaven?

[@felipehime]

Absolutely amazing 😱
