Nightwish - Storytime (Demo)

[@tallullahdana31]

Anette left a deeeeeep scar in NW,love her style in everyway,she can fit in every song in her own way n attitude🥰🥰🥰

[@Tyurru360]

This picture makes me lol! Jukka's like "Don't look at me", Tuomas is clearly embarrassed, Marco's making pervy-faces, Anette has just spotted the dessert trolley and Empuu's just like BWAH!!

[@BloodyBay]

Empuu: "Well, I _was_ just smiling for the camera, but Anette chose that moment to lean over and stomp on my toes right before the flash hit, so now YAAAHHH!!!" :-D

[@alexduta7469]

Anette's voice has a certain joy in it that the others don't have.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

And that's some people don't like. Her voice colour is light while Tarja's was dark. Sometimes she sounds like a 16 years old. I do like this album and Anette's songs very much. Her voice is perfect to "Slow Love Slow", "Turn Loose The Mermaids" or "Amaranth" from DPP for example.

[@josephdechavez8876]

She has a bright voice. Tarja has a dark voice.

[@SennaAugustus]

Which is perfect for this fairytale-like type of songs.

I loved this version and all the others as well. Miss Annette certainly has a good career going for herself now post Nightwish.

[@ferqueve]

Anette was so underrated

[@HolyWarriorFury]

I listen to pop music too... and she is not a pop singer... she is rock voice ! She's great! Love Anette!!!

[@ThaBukkow]

Very cool to hear this. Imaginearum is probably the best produced album I have ever heard, with all the orchestra and childs choirs. It sounds so amazing! nice to hear a more raw version of the song (that still sounds great btw)

[@davidsthoughts60]

I like this version almost as much as the one on the album. I think Annette would have had a longer career with Nightwish if they at least would have played the older songs more in Annette's voice range.

[@toy-foxy7120]

Jukka's face always the best :D

[@genoblast5543]

I will miss Annette like hell, she was a great singer, also this song sounds in many parts better than the album version, like when Annette screams "Yeahhhh!!"

[@brianwillson9567]

Imaginaerum., the best Nightwish album. Anette so underrated.

[@jasv49]

They all sound awesome with next to no studio editing.

[@Pigeaterdlx]

Really digging this version! I love the orchestral/symphonic stuff, but I would love a stripped down Nightwish album! It would be nice to hear Empuu turned loose again as well, The guitar parts were a bit restrained on Imaginarium!

[@Paranoidofficial]

I'm gonna miss Anette so much :'C

[@mislavhilc]

These is much better then album version IMO ;)

[@mislavhilc]

OK this is just so much better then the album version :P And the last part with vocals is just great ;)

[@TheTyphoon47]

Bagell Doughnuts agree... why could just Tuomas not have left his old music and strated a "pop hate career" instead ? ;)

[@bluemorpho8230]

Me encanta la versión sin toda esa edición vocal que le metieron en el álbum XD

[@adrianolima331]

Anette! 😍

[@Epitaph1334]

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

This is refreshing indeed! however, i prefer the album version. if i were to say something, that would be about Anette, i fucking miss her, she had charisma (even if it doesn't look very metalhead-istic); Floor is nice and everything, but i got used to Anette, and i liked her more than Tarja (no matter i like classical singing better... Anette HAS GOT something... that's it). ...I would like listening Scaretale demo; probably an impossible though.

[@arenaskiez]

They add so much effects to Anette's voice during the actual album. No wonder she never sounds the same live. If they kept it this way, it's good too.

[@remagine]

No they don't they added more layers on her voice on the studio version which is normal

[@gidgouws]

its funny how a nightwish demo can still be 100000x better than albums which cost thousands and millions of dollars to make :)

[@pureheart415]

It is great to hear Nightwish music without orchestra. :)

[@TheReignOfTheKnight]

1:40 HEEEEEEEYYEEEAAAAHH -.-

[@Antimatter999]

No, I'll miss her too =).

[@JessyBee1313]

she's gotten a LOT better live though...if you listen to live shows on here past Feb 2012 she sounds fantastic!

[@LaLobita2011]

she actually sounds soooooooooooo much better on the demos

[@MMarroquin1024]

It's sad how some people can't tell the difference, right? I like this one too. They should have kept marko in the lower octave, it makes it sound a little meaner.

[@LUNNAGATTA]

Anette Olzon

[@jasv49]

Why did they remove the "Heeyeeeaaah!" @1:40? It fits perfectly there.

[@mateuszstrojek3023]

I honsetly got a feeling like here Anette's voice sounds better than on the album version. Like... on the album is too much processed or something. Love both of them though xd

[@Taivywaivy]

I'm not quite sure why you expected this demo to be sung primarily by Marco when Anette is the lead vocalist. In Dark passion Play it was obvious that they had to record the demos before hiring a new singer, so Marco's vocals had to be used, but they'd have no reason to use Marco's vocals when they now have Anette. Having said that, I would have liked to hear at least one song on Imaginaerum where Marco's vocals were the focus (like The Islander or Master Passion Greed). Oh well.

[@VeronikaMctree]

what about Taika Talvi?

[@wesleyzimmerman94]

Marko sang the other demo tracks so, people weren't expecting Anette

[@NeuronMasturbation]

Lord,this is so good.

[@RawkHawkRockin]

I love them

[@igloofucker7966]

Yeah you are the ONLY one. There couldn't possibly be any other fans of both singers, could there?

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

Thanks for sharing, is nice to listen this :D -demos are always like a refreshing version)

[@ThePriestessSymphony]

Oh I ♥ Nightwish!

[@Levyathan94]

That's Marco, Toumas said once that he probably won't sing again in Nightwish, he prefers to stick to the keyboards and leave the male voices to Marco

[@rodritube]

For all the haters: Anette at her best

[@ElectricDreamer89]

Yes it's strange, but I like this "raw" version more than the official album version.

[@gabbrielviera]

love it!!!!!

[@supersideways]

1:40, needs to be in the live version :)

[@sniktchick]

Interesting version of the song! Wish I'd gotten the set with all the demos. -_- LOL @ the band's expressions in the pic. :D

[@CamusDesings]

I like this one better than the one they released

[@stajik888]

1:39 - POWERFUL!!!!!

[@f.hholguin9427]

toumas genio

[@ZozoEm]

This is actually waaaaay better than the vocal mixing they did on the final version.

[@linedepicard]

Just awesome although the album version is beautiful ist great I think this is the better version such a great band like this dont need an orchestra to create master pieces, but of course that is just my opinion ;)

[@lawwix]

This is good! :D:D

[@RedwolfofGreen]

beautiful vid, beautiful pic thanks for the share (:

[@nightwishmaster9789]

Why didn't they record the song closer to this interpretation? For me, I think it's better...... Just saying.

[@Excrucius]

I like this, less orchestra and more guitars like back in the old days, remind the people that you're a metal band!

[@claudiodxe]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiii yeeeaahhhhhhh

[@JessyBee1313]

you can hear him on the album version if you have headphones on...couldn't before then

[@harrawrson]

I know. And it's always a whole new difficult. XD She does so well though!

[@Wampa842]

0:27 LOL at Emppu

[@darrenhinkley1760]

How was this not the final piece???

[@januzaj1478]

Muito melhor na voz dela

[@skinnywhitedrummer]

ANETTE LEFT!!! 8"(

[@adamparrott9600]

*Sighs* guitar solo that I can hear..... this version is somehow better, they should have kept Marco in

[@senrioflove]

And Marco's the bassist anyway ^_^

[@firenthefire2]

You know, Marco is still in Nightwish.

[@RoseWhite18]

Oceanborn was also without orchestra, why didn't you call that album epic?

[@kkaisakaro]

where the picture is from? I would like know it:)

[@sacrament48]

the orchestra parts are played by the keyboardist in this demo so the orchestal parts are still there ...actually...

[@Cocainaa77]

Tharia !!!!!!! come :)

[@DanaiHIM]

ohh tuomas when your teeth are smiling at me I shudder!

[@LaLobita2011]

i still dont think tuomas is sure of anette's vocal range. he's writing songs that are too high for her to sing. i dont really blame here

[@HeartsEyes]

They didn't do any demos only with Marco this time.

[@harrawrson]

I think I heard her do it at a show or two...

[@akaboo69]

i honestly think the orchestral parts can be to much at times I like this better and Emppus guitar tone is better to

[@firenthefire2]

Oh.

[@superpie2themax]

how do you get this version? is it a feature on the album if you buy a hard copy?

[@JessyBee1313]

if only I could find a good audio version of Floor singing live...she's always drowned out by either Marco or the crowd, can't get an honest opinion, but I do like her ReVamp stuff

[@istochnikov45257]

No, me too

[@finkygsd2720]

her voice is too thin... but this is much better than album version

[@vampiressedna9]

I think I hate Tuomas, just a little, for making such very difficults songs to sing :( anyone who says Anette can´t sing, is totally deaf :P

[@danielhesse93]

Hell, where did you get that from?

[@juncodelrio15]

who sing ? Tuomas or Marco ? Second voice..

[@Epitaph1334]

Sounds like Marco

[@mislavhilc]

He ment to keep him in song :D

[@BanoDut]

Emppu looks like some woman's girlfriend 💜💜💜

[@nocturnal03]

They don't need an operatic singer for that, just a good singer with a powerful voice ala Floor Jansen :)

[@RoseWhite18]

Yeah, why have complete painting when you can have chart drawing, right?

[@xKey015x]

hahahahahahahaha made my day, such a funny joke

[@NissellaBlackened]

not really me too

[@Imagineer189]

actually for METAL, anette is better than both
