The idea of Nightwish was "born" in July 1996 at midnight when Tuomas was spending a night with his friends around a campfire. The first three songs, which were acoustic mood music, were recorded between October and December 1996. At that time, the band had three members: Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu. The band wanted to see what the music would sound like if drums were added (Jukka joined the band). Also at this time, the acoustic guitar was replaced with an electric. After a couple of weeks of training, the band went to the studio this was in April 1997. At that time seven songs were recorded. These songs can be found on the limited edition of the album Angels Fall First. In May 1997, Nightwish signed a recording contract with Spinefarm for two records. That More... (Submit New Nightwish Lyrics) (Submit New Nightwish Lyrics) Review about Nightwish SHUT UP ABOUT ANETTE VS. TARJA!!! | Reviewer: KAPLAH! ------ About the song I Wish I Had an Angle performed by Nightwish Okay, a few things: One, stop insulting Anette! If you ask me, she is just as good as Tarja, even if her voice is different. Two, please, for the love of god, change it!!! Is the song about geometry?!!! I think not!! Three, this song is very good, for several reasons: One, Anette's voice is in perfect synchronization with the guys, even if he isn't the most talented guy ever. Two, the riffs are perfect for the song, with a rough, anger/jealousy/lust emotion. Three, the pacing is perfect: they could have turned it into something like 'Through The Fire and The Flames' by Dragonforce. Also, on the Anette vs. Tarja debate, if you listen,you can hear Tarja doing stuff in the background. Seriously, the only big thing to miss about Tarja is saying: "Their lead sing is named Tarja," and having your friend say back, "Their lead singer is a ninja?!!" Yeah, its happened to me before. A suicide fantasy? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Poet And The Pendulum performed by Nightwish This seems like a cry for help, a description of agony, of a wounded heart, leading to ultimate despair. "He was found naked and dead With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text" Seems like he's imagining himself dying after having ripped up and burned all the songs and lyrics he had already written for Tarja, not just for her to sing, but to profess his unending love for her. So Amazing | Reviewer: Kris ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish I tell you, I haven't been a fan of Nightwish long, I only heard my first Nightwish song about two weeks ago. For those wondering, it was End Of All Hope. I came across it by accident. I heard it once and was instantly hooked. I even ordered every single album and put almost all of the songs onto my iPod. , | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish Does anyone kn ow what the song is about? I googled amaranth and looked at wiki's page, amaranth as a plant symbolises immortality And according to wiki the song is referncing the 'hidden amaranth', but I don't understand that who framed him? | Reviewer: brike ------ About the song Over the Hills and Far Away performed by Nightwish the person who framed him is obviously the friend whose wife he's doing. Dude found out about them and took revenge. He had motive and he had access to his pistol. also, the song was written by gary moore back in the '80s, not nightwish. Dumbass | Reviewer: Xorex ------ About the song Gothic Sanctuary performed by Nightwish Imbecile. "Gethsemane" and "Gothic Sanctuary" are the same song. Had you done some research you would have known that Gethsemane is the place where Jesus and his disciples prayed the night before his crucifixion. Gethsemane is commonly reffered to as the "Gothic Sanctuary" therefore they mean the same thing. How did this go uncorected for two years? I am confused about one line... | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song The Poet And The Pendulum performed by Nightwish I understand the story of this song...except for one line. "The music he wrote had too long been without silence." What does that one line mean? Does that mean that he DIDN'T want his music to be heard? Or am I thinking too hard about this, and it's actually something much more simple? Help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Please enter a title for your review: | Reviewer: Chaosworm ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish Well, the song is great. But I don't think it's nearly as good as other power/symphony/epic metal you hear, becouse the harmony and the sound, afterall, is quite boring and popular. The old Nightwish was strictly better, becouse not only Tarja's voice made it unique, but also the richness in the actual music made it unique aswell, becouse, I don't know, Tarja's voice had resources to make more complicated harmonies? absolutely stellar song | Reviewer: Keil Meine from New Jersey ------ About the song Ever Dream performed by Nightwish The music, the lyrics, the singing - it all comes together in this breathtaking song. I'm a 45-year old MAIDEN, PRIEST, DIO fanatic, but NIGHTWISH touched my soul starting with their Angels Fall First and I was never the same since. Tuomas made a bad mistake when he allowed the Tarja situation to fester without resolve and the band isn't magical anymore, though Tuomas can always write nice music. But we will always have magical gems from Angels, Oceanborn, Wishmaster, Century Child to worship. (Once is ok, but I don't like it as much as the earlier ones). Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gethsemane performed by Nightwish omg no comments?? anyways what an amazing song Nightwish's lyrics and Within Temptation as well have always inspired me with my writing and art work!! thanks guys for your beautiful music!! Anyways this song is so amazingly done and the lyrics are so beautiful and in depth wow!! Tarja voice is so deep and powerful sets the perfect mood for this song. yeah the instrumental is soo well done these guys know music. I really like this song!! Thanks Nightwish :) Calm Down | Reviewer: Chrissiecat ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish The song is beautiful in its own way And stop hating on Annette. If it wasnt for her stepping up after Tarja, There would be no band yeah? and your prejudice against her would deprive the people who couldnt care less. Besides from what I understand, Tarja was being a bitch. You werent there so you have no right to say who is right. Maybe they were right to kick her out did you ever think of that? BTW, to the guy who said Tarja's vocals are superior, The styles of voice are quite different. So dont compare them. Personally, sometimes Tarja puts me to sleep. inside my mind... | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song Phantom Of The Opera performed by Nightwish I guess you could say that I'm obsessed with The Phantom Of The Opera. The movie is so amazing...amazing doesn't even begin to describe it. Anyway, this is the song that got me into Nightwish, and they're now one of my favorite bands. Too bad you can't find their CD's in America. :( P.S. If you really want to understand this song, or any of the songs from the musical, you need to read the book The Phantom Of The Opera by Gaston Leroux. 7 days to the wolves | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song 7 Days To The Wolves performed by Nightwish This song is based on the book Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. Wolves of the Calla is the 5th book in the Dark Tower series. If you are going to read this book because of the Nightwish song, you have to start with book 1 in the series, otherwise book 5 won't make any sense. Haven't heard the song yet, but I like the lyrics. amaranth | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish I just listened to a clip from this on Amazon.com! I'm now definitely a Nightwish fan! Nightwish is imposable to find in America. I had my hands on Dark Passion Play, and for some reason didn't buy it. (What was I thinking?) Let it go people! | Reviewer: Raven ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Seriously, I am really tired of people going on about what happened to Tarja. Let.It.Go! There is nothing you, or anyone else can do about it! I don't even connect this song to Tarja anyway. It doesn't have to be about her if you think about it. It could be about anyone really. I love this song, and Annette does a great job singing, so stop flaming her! hmmm.... | Reviewer: Mel287 ------ About artist/band Nightwish I have to say this:i think xeon256 is completely right.I also have to say this to all those people who keep blaming Annette for the sacking of Tarja:You are wrong.Whatever reasons she was fired for are completely separate from Annette.Yes,Annette is no Tarja,but don't you think that NW would rather hire someone who sounded completely different from Tarja-to get away from that era?I do,however,think it is great that Marco's vocal talents are getting the attention they deserve.While i agree that Tarja's voice is brilliant,and i prefer her's over Annette's,NW with any line-up is still great! good song | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song The Phantom Of The Opera performed by Nightwish I'm currently listening to the version from the new movie, now I'm not sure if I want to here the Nightwish version the whole way through. Nightwish is impossible to find in America. :( But I still love their music. nightwish | Reviewer: dar ------ About the song Swanheart performed by Nightwish I think that this is one of the most beautiful songs of nughtwish, altho its not very famuse, hes one of the most touching song ever. I think that this song talks about the soul of people- their lovin' and care part of their soul- the song is written very well and tarja (the ex lead singer of Nightwish) who sings the song- makes it even more beautiful and touching than it is because of her touching voice and her lovely presence (: I personally think she's just perfect. For a look, and personality - but here it's just a matter of taste. She has an angel's voice - a voice I had never heard of like him and I adore symphonic metal music, and tarja turunen is certainly the best of all. One of the best Nightwish songs, ever. | Reviewer: Fred Deuel ------ About the song Nightquest performed by Nightwish Firstly I cant get enough of this song! The riff right at the start just sucks me right in. The lyrics are great and just freaking catchy! I have a bit of a theory on what this song is about. I'm guessing it's about the band, with a verse about each member. "Born to the false world the wanderer Storyteller the pied piper On a quest for immortality Gathering a troop to find the fantasy" -Tuomas, 'storyteller' (song writer) and 'Gathering a troop' (founding member). "Lead by a maid queen of the night Voice of angel such a divine sight An amazon to fight and cure This reality with her feline lure" -Tarja, if it's not obvious. "A merry minstrel with his fingers fast Playing his Flute charming every lass Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye "Shall I find fame - or shall I die?" " -Emmpu and Sammi, if only for the 'fingers fast' fretting on the guitar. "Warrior with power along the path A hammerheart his gallantry to last Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed For in this war laws are in silent sleep" -Jukka, lays down the rhythm and beat; also he was the 'warrior', finishing his mandatory military service. Anyway, just my take on it, awesome song no matter what! Great :) | Reviewer: GnomiFisher ------ About the song Once Upon A Troubadour performed by Nightwish i really love the combination of tarja and tuomas voices here, and i love the medieval style, i think more credit should be given to this song. i love the simple repetition of the verses and chorus, and the middle break section, it's so well written, good, simple music You could review the artist/band Nightwish in Biography page You could review Nightwish album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Nightwish song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Nightwish" Music | |
