NIGHTWISH - Storytime (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@BassOutcast]

She doesn't have that generic, semi-operatic voice you find in most bands in this genre, and this is why I love her voice! It's almost sweet, which contrasts the heavy guitars perfectly!

[@willieearles3151]

I much prefer this version of the song. Annette does have a perfect voice for this song. It also showcases how well Tuomas writes for a specific singer. NW, indeed, has had three excellent female vocalists.

[@chozo1325]

You can say what you want about Anette, but she really rocked this one. Put her whole soul in this performance, both musical and in terms of this video

[@TheRogueDM]

That last bit she sang in the outro was a first take used in the demos!

[@Gmee_]

Yeah, but Floor singing the part that the choir sings in here... it's so fcking epic.

[@Jonnym29]

I actually quite liked Anette. Yeah she didn't have the same haunting voice of Tarja, nor did she have the power of Floor, but she was the voice Nightwish needed for the songs they did with her. Without her I don't think Dark Passion Play or Imaginaerum would have worked as well as they did. That's 2 great albums and a brilliant film that I feel wouldn't have worked without her.

[@Radonja77]

Tuomas is the soul of the band and he adapts to the singers, every singer Tarja, Annette and Floor, have the songs adapted to their voice, and that's why Nightwish is epic

Thats true but Tarja and Floor would have make this song even better. That A.Olson was so bad to that band, hangs up becouse song is great.

[@mstuomel]

This is Anette at her best! The comments on every Nightwish video seem to degenerate into fight about who has been the best female vocalist in Nightwish, but without comparisons, I just say that Anette is really good here, the pinnacle of her career with Nightwish (and I recall Tuomas also noting her efforts for this video).

[@saltytrixter7084]

I think that floor is better, just my opinion but anette was good too.

I don´t get the logic of your kind where they say opposite opinion hoping they won´t get attacked when they straight up ask for it by writing it. And your second sentence was basically "Please don´t attack me" it seems like you want to get attacked so you´re basically trolling right now.

Lyrics: 'Twas the night before When all through the world, No words, no dreams Then one day, A writer by a fire Imagined all of Gaia Took a journey into a child-man's heart... A painter on the shore Imagined all the world Within a snowflake on his palm Unframed by poetry A canvas of awe Planet Earth falling back into the stars I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the journey, I am the destination, I am the home The tale that reads you A way to taste the night, The elusive high Follow the madness, Alice you know once did Imaginarium, a dream emporium! Caress the tales And they will dream you real A storyteller's game, Lips that intoxicate The core of all life Is a limitless chest of tales... I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man Searching heavens for another Earth I am the voice of Never, Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky, Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear

It's because it's a first take that's why. All the energy is there and it sounds so genuine! Listen to the demo and you'll hear it's the same take!

[@thecassman]

I think this song suits Anette perfectly. There will always be die-hard fans for each of the 3 singers but I never cease to be impressed by Tuomas' ability to write songs that seem to suit the relevanr singer perfectly! I honestly can't imagine Tarja or Floor singing this song any better than Anette does (and I prefer the style of those 2)... All 3 are great singers but, as they have different styles, it's inevitable that the band's style as a whole will change to suit. I remain a big fan and embrace their changes across each album. Keep rocking.

[@missdee9404]

+thecassman I'm going to take a minute to appreciate your comment, because I think too many fans focus too much on the female vocalists of the band. My personal preference is still Tarja, then Floor, and lastly Anette. It actually took me a few tries to get on the Anette bandwagon, but it's mostly because the "Nightwish" sound had changed, and it threw me off. That being said, it only made me respect Tuomas all the more because he, to your point, is skilled to the point that he adapted the bands sound to perfectly match the vocal style of every female vocalist they've had. Bravo Tuomas. You, my friend, ARE Nightwish.

[@joedigger9919]

honestly I think this is the only song I've heard floor sing that to me sis not fit BUT Floor kills my fave song on this album Last Ride of the Day......Floor does it amazingly

[@Cynthiaaagghh]

+thecassman I think, unfortunately for each of the singers, that Tuomas is really the heart of Nightwish's greatness. The singers all have amazing and unique voices but they are lifted to a whole other level when they sing the songs that Tuomas composes. That said, I just saw Floor live in concert with NW a few days ago and she was FIRE! She is so alive on stage and owns every song they do.

[@KellKheraptis]

It's almost like two different songs between this one and Floor live. It's more whimsical with Anette, where as Floor plays to the fact this is the most sinister sounding riff this side of Mr. Scary, and fully plays to that like it's a taunt. Love em both, honestly.

Nah, after listening to various live versions and this, Floor adds a very fitting grit to some notes that ultimately make her voice fit WAAAY better, imo of course. The 3 singers have their own Flavor I guess, and we have our preferred styles. Floor is the best among the 3 for me not because of skill but because of how much she tries to play with her voice and change it. The other singers always seemed to play it safe, Floor took risks.

I believe that when all is said and done the two greatest Nightwish albums will have the common denominator that being Anette Olzon.She was superb for Nightwish and her ohohawohaohoh oh oh oh is my favourite Nightwish moment ever!!! Love Anette so much.

[@kevingthompson14]

This is actually true by sales numbers. In fact if it were not for Dark Passion Play I highly doubt we would even know the name Nightwish today. In 2006 the entire world hated that man and that band and entire tours were cancelled and Halopainen sat in the every back of a room because he was terrified of all the death threats. I was personally introduced to them in 2008 when they made a surprise cameo appearance at PPUSA. As it turned out everything they did almost that year was a surprise and again due to all the death threats. In fact at the time I met them they were on the fringe and about to break up. I was being used in those days as a consultant and it was arranged for me to be there and again later for an appearance at another Atlanta venue for my critical notation and advice. BUT I LOVED ANETTE OLZON and blogged everywhere what a peach of a woman she was and impossible to dislike. It started a movement of people actually giving her a chance and in the end Dark Passion Play became the single best selling NW album of all time with Imaginarium being 2nd. Its of note that in 2018 when Olzon debuted with THE DARK ELEMENT that albums sales were higher than anything Nightwish had produced since Imaginarium. This genre is about genuine people and Anette Olzon is a genuine person. Even with Alyson Avenue that came through. To this day I am very proud that I had some small part in her getting that chance. You might have had to actually sat down directly across from her and eaten dinner together while talking about everything and sensing who she actually was to understand. Tarja can be cold and standoffish. Floor has this public face (all smiles) and this BITCH FACE she wears for most everyone else. (Sorry but its how she is). Maybe its the stress and pressure and ongoing BS of this business, but frankly if I was stuck on a desert island and it had to be with one of them...ANETTE WINS HANDS DOWN.

It doesn't feel like it has been more than two years since this song came out and yet it's been a whole 9. And I am in my 20s now so It's not like I have known about NW for decades. Still, it's crazy how time flies but what's similar between you and me is the nostalgia that this song brings. I remember how nice it felt hearing it for the first time, this was the first new song from NW that I have ever heard since I started listening to them and it was a really magical experience that I still remember, 9 years later. I wish you all the best, keep rockin'!

Onstage performance is not just about singing, its about THEATER, and drama, and personality....OMG Anette totally nailed all that.

Neither version is worse, its just each singer brings a different feel to a song.

[@sevawieler3976]

[@Mrkva22296]

truebinx I like such a beautiful contrast - heavy music + soft feminine voice ...... I dont think about it as a "pop music" ... it rather brings my imagination to the dark middle ages with beautiful queens and princesses ... I think thats why they ve choosen Anette (cuz she didnt appear in the band out of blue of course) she was choosed because of this contrast.... this is an artistic metal... not stereotypical.... and they are and were experimenting..... they brought out of the Anette the best version of herself.... they made a brand new sound as a whole band having her in the ban.... However stereotypical metal fans didn get that.... so now, they introduced a more masculine and metalish woman which has a soft voice and can sing heavily too.... so they made a nice compromise within the band and the fans :) Floor is such a compromise...-shes got anything from everything. but she cant be completely Tarja, or completely Anette..... they were such a contrasting but both amazing in their own way....

[@Gondor_Sanitation_Dept]

Personally, I think it is great what Nightwish has done for metal. In truth, Opera (and classical music for that matter) closely resembles Metal in spirit, energy, and loudness. I was a late-comer to Nighwish's music this year. What can I say? USA music scene blows and never plays stuff like this on the radio. I found them through a random metal channel on Pandora. Now I'm hooked. After soaking in both the Tarja and Annette eras, I can say both are great. I do lean on the side of liking the Tarja material a little bit better...but it's a fine line. Overall, songs like Storytime have made metal interesting again. Hopefully Floor will work out.

Me gusta mucho la versión de Floor, pero lo de Anette fue espectacular! El disco Imaginaerum mostró la capacidad de esta mujer y el trabajo magnifico que puede hacer. :) igualmente estoy contenta de que la nueva vocalista pueda interpretar las canciones de la era Turunen y la era Olzon con tanta grandeza!

[@zeratul9941]

El problema de Floor es que no hay canción de sus discos que enganche como las de Tarja y Anette. Lamentablemente algo le pasa a Nightwish que en este nuevo disco Human::Nature como que se apagaron y de el anterior sólo la de The greatest show in the earth es de la talla de los anteriores discos. Entonces Floor sólo interpreta lo que sus antecesoras plasmaron con grandeza. Lástima por ella porque es extraordinaria cantante.

[@eiskatze]

Now that I've given this Imaginaerum a chance after a long time, it's difficult to pick a song I didn't like. Rest Calm, Slow, Love, Slow, The Crow, The Owl And The Dove, Storytime are among my favorites. I've been recently giving other post-Tarja albums a much overdue (I'm ashamed to say I haven't listened to Nightwish much since Tarja left) and deserved chance, especially the new one with Floor, and I just know I'll find ALL of them fascinating. Every Era of Nightwish is really something. It's like getting over a nasty breakup and for the first time in a long while, finding love again and giving it another chance. xD It's now hard to say who the best thing that happened to Nightwish was. But if I had to choose one, it would be Tuomas and his creations.

[@cmiller6501]

Before all is said & done we need a special tour with all 3 singers, All era's are equally FANTASTIC !!!

[@music_lover2211]

It would be awesome but Anette and Tarja have no more interest to be in Tuomas'es presence!

[@stormyyxx]

I don't think either, they are now comparing Anette to Floor.... >_>

[@subwaytosally18642]

StormyCruger Sigh. It's annoying. All of the Nightwish singers are very talented in their own way and yet people are arguing who's best. Why aren't they able to enjoy the music without all this shit? It's human nature I guess.

[@stormyyxx]

subwaytosally18642 One possible explanation is that of course, but I also think that Anettes haters are still hating on her... The Anette bashing will never stop and it's really unfair to her

[@subwaytosally18642]

StormyCruger I agree. Bashing Anette seems to be an activity that people who love Floor and Tarja (no offense to those people) are doing often. They don't understand that there are different voice types and styles of singing. Anette's voice happens to be lighter than Tarja's or Floor's and it doesn't make her voice weak, it's just different. I personally love Anette's voice the most out of the Nightwish singers, simply because with her, the vocals aren't in the absolute center, so the band can shine as whole.

[@cfh4201969]

Annette is adorably evil in this song. Only she could pull this off. I think she was the best choice for this album and the movie.

[@SinuheElGuardian]

Why all Nightwish songs are SO GOOD?

[@fantomas1373]

Annett's own songs are really very nice. And it has also for a great voice. Of course, one must not be measured by Tarja's songs it.

I love this song so much.

It was the night before, When all through the world, No words, no dreams Then one day, A writer by a fire Imagined all of Gaia Took a journey into a child-man's heart A painter on the shore Imagined all the world Within a snowflake on his palm Unframed by poetry, A canvas of awe Planet Earth falling back into the stars I am the voice of Never-never-land, The innocence, the dreams of every man, I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky, Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the journey, I am the destination, I am the home The tale that reads you A way to taste the night The elusive high Follow the madness Alice, you know once did Imaginarium, a dream emporium! Caress the tales And they will read you real A storyteller's game, Lips that intoxicate The core of all life is a Limitless chest of tales I am the voice of Never-never-land The innocence, the dreams of every man, I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky, Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the voice of Never-never-land The innocence, the dreams from every man, Searching heavens for another earth I am the voice of Never-never-land The innocence, the dreams of every man, I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky, Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear I am the voice of Never-never-land The innocence, the dreams of every man, I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A silent kite against the blue, blue sky, Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real, Every memory that you hold dear

Absolutely, i listened to Floor singing this song and it just wasn't right... Floor doesn't have that kind of voice... Of course Anette also does not have the Floor's nor Tarja's voice and she couldn't sing songs where opera skilled voice was required, but noone can sing this song except from Anette
