Showcases Annette's great voice! It's a shame to those shredding her, comparing her to Tarja and Floor. It's like trying to comparing apples to oranges. She has her OWN amazing voice and style!

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!

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

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

This is Anette at her best!

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

[@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.

She nails this song... umm. That tends to happen when a song is exclusively tailored to the vocal and tonal capabilities of any said singer.

[@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.

No matter how many times I watch, Anette's acting is amazing. Tarja is more operatic, and Annette has a musical theater or movie vibe. Maybe that's what's missing from Nightwish now.

[@em6010]

What I love the most about Nightwish is that their songs are always open to infinite interpretations. While growing up, this song has changed its meaning matching my own journey. I was 14 when it came out and it felt like this parallel universe where wonderful stories we got told when we were kids, hid something dark, equally magical but touching the veil of our own fears. Today I'm 26, and this song feels like a space where our monsters, our shadows and ghouls can speak out loud, telling us there's something important to learn from them. Our shadow is our journey and our destination. It's a voice we keep silencing because we can't afford to let our egos know that we're all imperfect. Yet, that's the magic behind imperfections. When we notice our monsters, when we humbly accept their presence, we get a precious message about ourselves and we can continue our journey to become our own light.

[@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.

[@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.

truebinx I actually heard the aggressive version Floor did 1st then when I heard this one I burst out laughing, not because Anette is a bad singer but the vocals are so soft it sounds silly, really doesn't fit the tone and pace of the music. 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....

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'!

I feel always soo old when I hear people that started listening to Nightwish with Anette or Floor :D I started listening to the band when they still had their original lineup :D I remember hearing Tarja singing Sleeping Sun and being soo hooked, yeah I feel old :D

[@silviodilkin5204]

The best Nightwish's song in my opinion !!!!

[@juanm.quiroga3488]

Ever Dream- Nemo- Amaranth- Storytime- Élan. Its beautiful to see how the band has grown, I love you guys, this is the best shit ever

[@hamstermunchies5558]

low roar I've loved NW since the 90's but most fans just like a certain era and run when a line-up changes. I didn't run when they 1st changed singers, but I did not enjoy the music that was written or Anette's voice as much but I still liked it. Then when I heard Elan I was like "oh hell yeah!" Well I actually broke down crying in joy and awe and sticking it on repeat daily for weeks but you get the idea.

[@madnessoverload7824]

Juan Q You enlisted some of the softer songs. Here's a list of some of the harder: Wishmaster (Tarja), Sahara (Anette), Weak Fantasy (Floor).

[@juanm.quiroga3488]

Madness Overload I enlisted the first single from each album since century child. But yeah, there are thousand nightwish's songs that are kickass, those you mentioned are some of the best too!

[@juanm.quiroga3488]

Mikehunt Yess, we're all dying to hear Sahara with Floor!

[@MisterLyricist]

+Mikehunt I actually disagree. Anette sang "Sahara" with a dark colour to her voice. I found it cleverly foreboding.

[@marktwain7812]

All these 3 female vocalist is good and the band is perfect and best n I love Nightwish

[@brakintlaw57]

Anette's voice kicks ass in this song

[@IrvinGisher]

Love Annettes voice on this song!!!

[@tatonkachief]

Sorry...but there such a big difference in the quality of the singing between Annette and Floor, especially when you compare this song, it is unbelievable. The intensity and power of Floor`s voice is unrivaled to all the previous ladies. She took Nightwish to a complete new level.....

[@artonx4719]

Totally agree!

[@jorgealejandro6256]

One of the best Anette´s performance ever! congratulatios. Nightwish will remain the same no matter the singer, no matter the time, no matter anything.

[@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.

[@matheusmauro4010]

My favorite Nightwish' song

[@doyleperkins4916]

"I AM THE JOURNEY. I AM THE DESTINATION."

[@falanga4008]

больше 10 лет я восхищаюсь этой песней. а клип... на мой взгляд как минимум необычно но именно это и восхищает, видеоряд с историей из бэкстейдж, который показывает труд современных лицедеев и как создаются ШЕДЕВРЫ, - даёт понимание текста песни. Да, ребята поистине волшебники. И то что они выдают на нам на сцене, - плоды трудов их и их команды, они рассказывают нам истории со сцены, делая это ярко и незабываемо, заставляя оживать наше воображение. спасибо.

[@Kat.00004]

Una de las mejores canciones de Nightwish

[@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.

[@saitoubosh2253]

That choral part sounds like a classical piece. I can't put my finger on it and it's driving me nuts.

[@SinuheElGuardian]

Why all Nightwish songs are SO GOOD?

[@victorm.bustamante5654]

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

[@rickrolledsoul3920]

But truly genius is Tuomas who made fitting songs for every Nightwish vocalist.

[@joeykuy393]

La voz de Anette, pasan los años y me sigue cautivando tanto como la primera vez que la escuche... dios, es tan maravillosa.

[@tltluistlt]

Tiene una voz hermosa. =)

[@christosdimas6485]

Annete is Awesome singer and superb performer!

[@rudianger123]

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.

[@stoneyj1a1]

Great band

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.
