Nightwish - Scaretale (With Lyrics)

[@1welshdevil]

She was the perfect choice for this album, and to date I still think it's their best. Officially a member of the love all three singers club.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

*cough cough* all _five_ singers *cough*

[@SennaAugustus]

@@SomeKZbinTraveler Up to 7 singers I think.

[@leerogers1997]

@@SennaAugustus seven??

[@MsCatstaff]

@@SennaAugustus I've counted six, including the vocals Tuomas did on Angels Fall First. So, him, Tarja, Anette, Floor, Marko, and Troy. Who's #7? Or are you skipping Tuomas but counting Alissa and Eliz from when they filled in at the Denver Debacle?

[@DanioPL1232]

@@MsCatstaff I would count 8 singers because Tapio Wilska and Tony Kakko were present on their early albums. But yeah, they were never ,,official" band members

[@vivianleenet]

People hating on Anette’s bright, pop sounding voice, but that’s the reason why she sounds like a psychotic witch here and it’s SO perfect.

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

Imagine this song with Tarja... It's impossible!!

[@jennytaber71]

This is her best song.

[@Simo-zj1kt]

@@AdolfoSalinasP Or Floor.. still impossible. So props to Annette.

[@Wyndorel]

This album's the one that has to make you love Anette! I'm impressed with what they achieved here; a perfect blend of influences and tones that make Anette and the band sound true together, and which definitely separates this "era" (unfortunately short-lived...) from Tarja's legacy. Masterpiece.

[@ChrisBach1138]

I use this song to shut up Anette haters for that very reason. Neither Floor nor Tarja are capable of theatricality like this. Floor may be my favorite but every singer has had their place and this song is wonderful proof.

[@laurenphillips2635]

I freaking love Anette's delivery of the lyrics.

[@tina857]

its her song, nobody can sing this song like anette

[@Mattallica13526]

i know right. when she says 'squealing PIGS' its fucking insane!

[@VictorbrineSC]

The way she sings makes this song the only one to give me goosebumps all the way through

[@daveb2853]

7 mins and 32 secs of sheer brilliance from the best band on the planet.

[@goranelez9956]

I am reading comments and there is a huge lack of mention for Jukka's drumming on this track. His enthusiasm reached an actual ceiling, it couldn't be done any better.

[@pivmbyf]

This version is me playing the electrical organ then recorded as the demo, then published into one of the album. I, the one-person band, is the only musician of the Ghost Band. So there is no drummer at all here. Only a musician, an electrical organ player only.

[@davemillet4160]

One of the band's finest moments. And I agree with other fans - it's all about personal taste, but I thought she absolutely soared on this album!

[@TaMiaSBOi84]

This masterpiece just becomes more and more legendary every time I listened.

[@LumiRockets]

Nightwish is awesome no matter which singer era you're listening to, and this album was definitely Anette's magnum opus with the band. I don't know if she could have ever followed up with a better performance. Her work on this album was just so good.

[@RyanX1899]

People say Anette has no range but she sounds straight up evil here haha. just don't listen to it on mushrooms xD

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

HA HA HA HA HA

[@BloodyBay]

I assume this is the voice of experience speaking? :-D

[@richardd8]

do not compare Tarja / Annette, each are different just enjoy Nightwish no matter who the singer is, every person has their own preference, for me Tarja, but I still enjoy all...

[@Madigan0895]

Truth, It's Tuomas's Genius that makes this band what it is, Epic no matter who the singer is!

[@VulpesChama]

@@Madigan0895 I agree, the singers may be prominent, due to their status as... front women and their incredible voices (all of them), but the most impressing person in Nightwish is Tuomas and his brilliant songwriting. And looking over all the songs he wrote over the time .... it's simply incredible.

[@blackhalo21]

I used to dislike Annette before but now that I grew older and have a more mature approach on the situation I can really enjoy the songs. This album is amazing!

[@luizhenriquelaradossantos843]

oh my God, amazing album ... amazing songs, amazing sounds and riffs... Incredible how they combine the classical music with the metal and translate emotions into notes... amazing, i have no words.. Wonderful!!!

[@DarknessWolf101]

I'm not usually one for halloween-like morbidity, but there's just something so deliciously despicable about this piece that makes me smile and dance to the rhythm of it. It's like a score from a really dark musical.

[@mattieerola937]

Storytime is also good in a more straight-up horror sense

[@MCzenman]

+DarknessWolf101 It is a score from a really dark musical. Have you heard of the movie Imaginaerum?

[@DeltaSilver88]

It could easily fit in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Anette already sounds like a hybrid of Magenta and Columbia.

[@petrkorinek9559]

It actually IS a score from Disney attraction kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmO0fZ2jf9h6nrMsi=AErolPy_MaSa4lEi&t=518

[@qpae8503]

What a puzzling (in the lack of a better word) masterpiece. It's just yet another example what makes Nightwish so great and unique.

[@aluminumfalcon552]

Happy Halloween 2023 The best Halloween song ever!

[@iloveKClarkson]

"Ringa ringa roses A pocket full of poisies A-tishoo, a-tishoo, We all fall down" The intro is an English traditional children song, for those who didn't know this!!!

[@SamStormsKBD]

tnx a lot for this. I'd never know it lol

[@DeweyWaspada92]

Best part for me is 5:37-6:14. Metal guitar playing with the orchestral music

[@mrlink206]

Chills every time.

[@SarimFaruque]

I like Annete's voice technique here

[@arilson1644]

A interpretação da Anette nessa música é incrível! Você realmente se sente dentro do mundo descrito por ela.

[@cymaral]

+Arilson Alves Ela é muito teatral! Embora não gostasse dela ao vivo, esse album não teria sido tão foda sem ela no vocal.

[@tamyris6254]

Esse álbum foi feito para Anette, assim como cada álbum anterior foi feita para Tarja e os outros para Floor. Cada vocalista tem sua característica. Na minha opinião, a Floor cantando músicas da época da Tarja não fica legal, Floor não é lírica. Anette cantando músicas do tempo da Tarja também não fica legal. Porém cada um com sua opinião. 🤘🏻

You are right no one else can sing this song. This song was written for Anette

[@JavaTheBeezyB]

Never heard the full version before . I just love it , Feels like i watched the movie in 5 minutes . 10/10 its just great

No one will hate on you, most of us agree :) I love Anette and Tarja but my favourite singer is Marco :D

[@zackzaike4630]

MsAbixxx HAIL ODIN! XD

[@Bondubras]

*nods* I am of the belief that the name 'Nightwish' is associated with Marco. If, for some reason, Marco were to leave, only then will the name be taken away. Until that horrifying possibility comes to pass, everybody else in the band could change or be replaced, the band will still be Nightwish.

[@MsAbixxx]

Michael Oakes I do agree with you, yet I disagree a little. Please don't hate me! I agree with you that if Marco left he would take a large piece of Nightwish's heart with him but..... what about Tuomas? He may not be a great singer but he is responsible for most of the lyrics and orchestral pieces. I'd say he's an even larger part of Nightwish than Marco. Tarja and Anette and to a lesser extent Marco (because Marco has written a few sings for Nightwish) are just mediums to express Tuomas's feelings and lyrics.

[@Bondubras]

MsAbixxx I admit. That's a very good point.
