LYRICS:
(In the sheltering shade of the forest
Calling calming silence
Accompanied only by the full moon
The howling of a night wolf
And the path under my bare feet...
...The Elvenpath)
Hearing music from the deepest forest
Songs as a seduction of sirens
The elf-folk is calling me
Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad
Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path
The way to the lands
The way to the lands
Where as a hero I stand
The path where Beauty met the Beast
Elvenpath
It's the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
That makes my soul long for the past
Elvenpath
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick
duced me to her old friend home gnome
Told me to keep the sauna warm for him
At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves
The path goes forever on
The way to the lands
Where as a hero I stand
The path where Beauty met the Beast
Elvenpath
It's the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
That makes my soul long for the past
Elvenpath
(Long ago, the early years of the Second Age
The great Elven smiths forged the Rings of power)
As I return to my room
And as sleep takes me by my hand
Madrigals from the woods
Carry me to neverland
In this spellbound night
The world's an elvish sight
In this spellbound night
The world's an elvish sight
(But then the Dark Lord learned the craft of ring-making
And made the master Ring)

[@jonathanday6692]

I know Tolkien recorded himself reading from his books. Is that Tolkien speaking?

[@diceymaan]

Plus Kalevala (Mielikki & Tapio). My guess would be, since it's a really old song. Tuomas had just read more about Lord of the Rings and Tolkien, and learned that Tolkien was inspired by Kalevala and Finnish language when he wrote about the Elves. Complete guesswork obviously, but it's fun to theorize 😊

Goodbye Marco, I hope you are doing well. When you are feeling up to it again, I and many others will gladly hear from you and welcome you back. Stay strong!

[@tommyerickson1900]

NW is a rare combination of talents, in a perfect harmony, orchestrated by Tuomas. This is too much ... I cry every time I here this, and nearly all of NW songs. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me for crying all the time. But ... then I think ... There is soo much feelings released in their (Tuomas's) songs that it is inevitable. And all the band members are just so perfect in place. Just let your feelings free.

[@ZzKevZz]

You're not alone in that.

I literally pack my backpack and rum, carry my old tape deck across the river into the forest and hike a trail to my spot on the forested plateau high ridge and open the night with this song about 1/3 trips, this song can bring me to tears along with a few others of your creations, thank you !

It's hard to digest the sadness of Marko's leaving.

[@Valnotersc]

We can only pray that there's a chance for his return. Nightwish has adapted to other losses and kept creating great music. They'll definitely have to change without their secret lead singer. But while seeing Tarja back on stage with them is a pipe dream, I'll have to keep hope that isn't the case for Marko.

[@leosurname6993]

Let’s keep hope that his health improves and he feels like playing for us again. He said he may come back one day, so it is a possibility.

[@durhamviking1809]

He was the start of the demise

For anyone who's interested (and isn't a folk music buff like me): the tune at the beginning is called the Monaghan Jig! I love to hear these more traditional tunes used by such a good band as Nightwish...! All the best from your local friendly folk fiddler!

Thanks so much for the name of the jig. I knew that I should have known it but couldn't put a name on it.

Oh the memories of early days of Nightwish that elvenpath brings to me. Was couple of their 1st ever live shows in "97-98" when they released their 1st album Angels fall first. I had broken wrist but still went to see them play. Had a blast when they played in small nightclub and yelled Tuomas to sing male parts of beauty and the beast. He was kinda embarrased, lol. One of my favorite bands ever since then!

*Greetings, I'm taking a poll question. I am a huge RUSH fan and after the death of Neil Peart I took this as an opportunity to listen to music I have never heard before. That's how I discovered and fell in Love with NIGHTWISH. Any other major Rush fans dig this band?* 👍😎

[@WakefieldTolbert]

Rush fan here. Nightwish I found by accident. Though their style is different, the conceptual and ideological and even science exploration through music reminds me of the pondering and reflective ways of Rush. Similar to you, I guess, with 2020 bringing the death of Peart the Professor and with job loss and other things going on during the Pandemic, I took some reflection time to explore new music and reaction vids.
