Nightwish - Scaretale (With Lyrics)

[@1welshdevil]

She was the perfect choice for this album, and to date I still think it's their best. Officially a member of the love all three singers club.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

*cough cough* all _five_ singers *cough*

[@SennaAugustus]

@@SomeKZbinTraveler Up to 7 singers I think.

[@leerogers1997]

@@SennaAugustus seven??

[@MsCatstaff]

@@SennaAugustus I've counted six, including the vocals Tuomas did on Angels Fall First. So, him, Tarja, Anette, Floor, Marko, and Troy. Who's #7? Or are you skipping Tuomas but counting Alissa and Eliz from when they filled in at the Denver Debacle?

[@DanioPL1232]

@@MsCatstaff I would count 8 singers because Tapio Wilska and Tony Kakko were present on their early albums. But yeah, they were never ,,official" band members

[@vivianleenet]

People hating on Anette’s bright, pop sounding voice, but that’s the reason why she sounds like a psychotic witch here and it’s SO perfect.

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

Imagine this song with Tarja... It's impossible!!

[@jennytaber71]

This is her best song.

[@Simo-zj1kt]

@@AdolfoSalinasP Or Floor.. still impossible. So props to Annette.

[@Wyndorel]

This album's the one that has to make you love Anette! I'm impressed with what they achieved here; a perfect blend of influences and tones that make Anette and the band sound true together, and which definitely separates this "era" (unfortunately short-lived...) from Tarja's legacy. Masterpiece.

[@ChrisBach1138]

I use this song to shut up Anette haters for that very reason. Neither Floor nor Tarja are capable of theatricality like this. Floor may be my favorite but every singer has had their place and this song is wonderful proof.

[@daveb2853]

7 mins and 32 secs of sheer brilliance from the best band on the planet.

[@laurenphillips2635]

I freaking love Anette's delivery of the lyrics.

[@tina857]

its her song, nobody can sing this song like anette

[@Mattallica13526]

i know right. when she says 'squealing PIGS' its fucking insane!

[@VictorbrineSC]

The way she sings makes this song the only one to give me goosebumps all the way through

[@TaMiaSBOi84]

This masterpiece just becomes more and more legendary every time I listened.

[@davemillet4160]

One of the band's finest moments. And I agree with other fans - it's all about personal taste, but I thought she absolutely soared on this album!

[@richardd8]

do not compare Tarja / Annette, each are different just enjoy Nightwish no matter who the singer is, every person has their own preference, for me Tarja, but I still enjoy all...

[@Madigan0895]

Truth, It's Tuomas's Genius that makes this band what it is, Epic no matter who the singer is!

[@VulpesChama]

@@Madigan0895 I agree, the singers may be prominent, due to their status as... front women and their incredible voices (all of them), but the most impressing person in Nightwish is Tuomas and his brilliant songwriting. And looking over all the songs he wrote over the time .... it's simply incredible.

[@blackhalo21]

I used to dislike Annette before but now that I grew older and have a more mature approach on the situation I can really enjoy the songs. This album is amazing!

[@goranelez9956]

I am reading comments and there is a huge lack of mention for Jukka's drumming on this track. His enthusiasm reached an actual ceiling, it couldn't be done any better.

[@pivmbyf]

This version is me playing the electrical organ then recorded as the demo, then published into one of the album. I, the one-person band, is the only musician of the Ghost Band. So there is no drummer at all here. Only a musician, an electrical organ player only.

[@DeweyWaspada92]

Best part for me is 5:37-6:14. Metal guitar playing with the orchestral music

[@mrlink206]

Chills every time.

[@luizhenriquelaradossantos843]

oh my God, amazing album ... amazing songs, amazing sounds and riffs... Incredible how they combine the classical music with the metal and translate emotions into notes... amazing, i have no words.. Wonderful!!!

[@LumiRockets]

Nightwish is awesome no matter which singer era you're listening to, and this album was definitely Anette's magnum opus with the band. I don't know if she could have ever followed up with a better performance. Her work on this album was just so good.

[@MCzenman]

2:07 HOLY FUCK WHAT A RIFF

[@BlueButterfly150]

my fav part!! it's absolutely amazing

[@kittycatlolipop2930]

[@arilson1644]

A interpretação da Anette nessa música é incrível! Você realmente se sente dentro do mundo descrito por ela.

[@cymaral]

+Arilson Alves Ela é muito teatral! Embora não gostasse dela ao vivo, esse album não teria sido tão foda sem ela no vocal.

[@tamyris6254]

Esse álbum foi feito para Anette, assim como cada álbum anterior foi feita para Tarja e os outros para Floor. Cada vocalista tem sua característica. Na minha opinião, a Floor cantando músicas da época da Tarja não fica legal, Floor não é lírica. Anette cantando músicas do tempo da Tarja também não fica legal. Porém cada um com sua opinião. 🤘🏻

[@andersmagnusson8509]

Toumas Holopainen have a way of writing songs designed for the different singers of the band. Using the full potential of Tarja, Anette and Floor

[@cvetageorgieva4312]

You are right no one else can sing this song. This song was written for Anette

[@Dark-Ness21]

Infinite thanks to Anette for such a great performance.

[@pliskin74]

Everything is f*****g crazy and perfect in this song!!! It remembers Danny Elfman´s and I love it!!! It´s funny, scary, powerful... It´s a f*****g masterpiece!!!

[@DarknessWolf101]

I'm not usually one for halloween-like morbidity, but there's just something so deliciously despicable about this piece that makes me smile and dance to the rhythm of it. It's like a score from a really dark musical.

[@mattieerola937]

Storytime is also good in a more straight-up horror sense

[@MCzenman]

+DarknessWolf101 It is a score from a really dark musical. Have you heard of the movie Imaginaerum?

[@DeltaSilver88]

It could easily fit in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Anette already sounds like a hybrid of Magenta and Columbia.

[@petrkorinek9559]

So creepy.. but I love the circus part, lyrics, that one riff before the circus part and all the string parts

[@Sombrasentrelosarboles4617]

Me fascina Tarja para mi la mejor vocalista que ha tenido esta banda, pero pero sin duda alguna la voz de Anet aqui suena extravagante y fascinante a la vez, y se sabe que ella no canta asi pero al hacerlo de esa forma le da una connotacion de bruja siniestra que la hace sentir unica y maravillosa.

[@IronBahamut]

This song is great for Halloween playlists

[@lcc457]

I remember when I heard this song for the first time. I was on a bus coming home from work with my headset. I couldn't stop smiling and the people around me didn't understand anything. What a day!

Of the three Nightwish singers Annette is my least favourite. Not as good as either Tarja or Floor. Here though, this song is Annette's. She nailed it to perfection. My favourite piece by Nightwish is Ghost Love Score from Once, and sung by Tarja. Since this album there has been Endless Forms most Beautiful with vocals by Floor. Yet, for me, as a whole, I find Imaginarium featuring Annette is Nightwish's best work to date. From Angels fall First to Endless Forms... not one bad album among them.
