LYRICS STORYTIME:
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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...
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another earth...
[Orchestral]
[Bridge]
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
[Chorus]
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 love Jukka's drumming. unebelivable that he was able to play soo good with full insomnia.

[@mykhailomiroshnikov]

Jukka is underappreciated within the Nightwish fandom, I feel like. He's a marvelous drummer, and his dedication to the band despite the challenging insomnia condition deserves utmost respect and love.

10 years since this magic happened on stage. Time flies, but pure gold remains. Floor is the best thing that ever happened to Nightwish.

[@David-yo5re]

I whole heartedly agree. Over the last couple of months I have been binge watching videos and listening to all the Nightwish music I can find. I love Tarja, Annette was okay. But Floor, oh my God she's absolutely amazing in her abilities as a vocalist. Nightwish and Floor are a match made in Valhalla.

[@Vespusgaming]

Floor is best female singer but in my opinion Marko is the best person in whole music industry

[@Werdiknight]

I am VERY convinced that Floor is the best "thing" (besides Tarja, she is just different) that ever happened to anyone anywhere anytime anyplace.

[@andrewmckay362]

My 25 year old co-worker had never heard of Floor or Nightwish until about 10 minutes ago when I told him to watch this video. His jaw has been on the floor (no pun indented) and he's been in stunned silence. I do believe the NW Army just gained a new member.

[@brianwillson9567]

It was GLS from this concert which ‘got me’. Anyone never being aware of Nightwish who , on being shown Wacken 13 , remains immune to the Valkyrie Goddess and her brothers must be immune to life itself.

53 year old American hard rock veteran. Was mortified to admit I never so much as heard of this band until a couple months ago.....until I started scrolling through comments and quickly realized there are legions who can say the same. Then I thought to myself "Why the angst? Instead revel in the fact that at 53 you've discovered one of the great bands of the past quarter century and as such have their whole catalog still to immerse yourself in!" Very fresh and exciting experience, which I can always use at my age!

[@David-yo5re]

I'm feeling the same way about it. I am immensely enjoying discovering their music.

@@michaeldavis3729 grew up with Night wish. Had the pleasure of listening to both Tarja and Anette. But by far, Floor is the best addition to Nightwish esp live section. Also listen to Phantom of Opera live with Tarja. You will end the debate of who is the best vocal in night wish. It's not Tarja, not anette neither floor. Its MARCO 🤣

Jukka is the best drummer I have ever seen, and I have seen hundreds. It has been a long time since you said this and much has changed. Now Marko has left also. What I wish is that once a year the original lineup of Nightwish Wacken 2013 come together and try to reproduce the magic of Wacken 2013.

All respect to Tarja but, Floor is the best thing to happen to Nightwish...

@@PopllFixit agreed. She intrduces this range and vocal characteristics that also encompases Annette and Tarja.

[@FunkyAppendix]

I don't understand these never ending discussions about voice/s... Just watch and feel those great musicians, the great crowd and the symbiosis they build...

[@dreamflight5637]

its simple, becouse if anette sung it was so boring while when Floor sing its full of power, beauty .....

WeirdD ShittT What is with all you fools and "power"? Because "power" is not the only stylistic approach that makes a song interesting!

[@dreamflight5637]

Well power means a lot becouse anettes voice was just too weak for metal music , sometimes it looked like they must lower music becouse of her voice , with Floor they sound better, i mean she have powerfull voice which fit metal well

if you do not understand, you do not know anything about music.

2 or 3 years ago would agree. Floor is to my opinion better than Tarja. But without Jukka and Marco the Band is not the same. And the last CD is incredible bad to me. There is not eveb one song I like. I could break out it tears seeing what happens with Nightwish😞

[@gadeswin]

@@peterbell3199 I only ran across them myself a couple of years ago . I’ve never been really huge into metal but the talent of this band changed that. Their impact is so strong that they didn’t just draw me to the band but drew me closer to an entire genre. They would put on a halftime show for the ages.

[@KJunior]

Perfect Voice

[@nightVzn]

I've always really liked both Tarja and Anette and that isn't changing. That being said, I'm blown away by Floor's power, range, and versatility. It would be interesting if Nightwish released new studio recordings of their hits and classics with Floor on vocals. They've redone songs before, like Sleeping Sun ... maybe some future album bonus tracks at least?

[@lolliederbonne7771]

I discovered this bank about 6 years ago and I've been a fan ever since, the band is fabulous and Floor, her voice is so beautiful. I would give anything to be able to see them in concert , I'm 70, so I don't have that many years left. I give a big hat's off to the behind the scenes crew, the work that must have to go on to set up break down when their touring ( on their way to Washington state)

[@marksenior7823]

I first saw them with Tarja Turunen on vocals in 2003, they just blew me away, loved them ever since and I've seen them here in Germany with all 3 vocalists.

It's so hard to believe this concert was 10 years ago. It still feels like yesterday that this video was posted on KZbin...it wasn't the first time I'd heard Floor, but it was the first time I heard her with Nightwish. Those first few lyrics of the song came out of her mouth, and I just knew this band had just been reborn.

[@sebastianpetersen5694]

I also find it hard to belive that this was 10 years ago - I was there and atleast for us, it was a hughe surprise that Floor became the new vocalist.

Jukka’s drumming before Floor hits her operatic notes……. It’s one of the greatest music moments. And I’m saying this as a diehard fan of Tool, Led Zeppelin, Supertramp and Pink Floyd.

[@pamlp04]

Yes! totally. That moment is so good. The whole drumming in this song is perfection. Like you said, is he the best drummer? maybe not, but sure he is one of the most joyful, energetic ones. He definitely was a visual with his performing style.
