Lyrics The Islander:
An old man by a seashore at the end of day
Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[Chorus:]
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying, making him daydream
The time before he became one of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower, children in the fields
Life gave him it all, an island of the universe
Now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water, seabed far below
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
[Chorus:]
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
[Chorus:]
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
So long ago - Hudba
Anyone here listening it even in 2024?
Of course! This is undying!
Me
Never stopped listening 🎶
Duuuuhh 😂
Hell yes. Tarot "i walk forever" played beforehand. A part of my ultimatelist⚓️❤️🔥
16 years later and this still gives me chills every time I listen to it
SIXTEEN YEARS???? wtf...
16 years. That felt like a brick in my face. What the actual fuck. Fuck.
Holy Its been that long?
Me too❤
@@Atyir0Chaoschant Yup
I miss Marco. His voice is very particular and we feels his emptiness, he was an important part of the band
Anette really deserved better. She owns Dark passion play in a MAGICAL way.
Agreed! Especially with Eva and Amaranth
My fav. Fav. Fav. Love her sooooooo much.
Nah
Agree and she does! Imaginaerum is my favorite Nightwish album.
@@miyapozo literally omg
Nightwish don't sit around campfires, campfires sit around Nightwish..
The question is what was first? The campfire or Nightwish?
Chuck Norris.
In darkness is born light, and in light is born darkness. This can be referred to a lot of things like night and day.
+Ade Prisma Pranayuda In Soviet russia you dont burn campfires CAMpFIRES BURN YOU
+Angel Skinner 'And with Fire came Disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course.. Light and Dark'
uhh don't mind me. read your comment and reminded me of this
My grandfather passed away a month ago. He was a long-term captain and till his last day he continued to tell the stories of his adventures, his beloved sea and marine animals. He did not know what metal is, but he visited Finland in his 40s and he often answered me:"do you continue to lister to that band, the one with also a passion for sea in their lyrics."
Any time I listen to this song I enjoy the memory of my beloved grandfather. I'm an atheist, but I hope he is still sailing among the waves, somewhere.
Im sorry for your loss , this is a beautiful song
Sorry to break it to you but you are not an atheist; your last wish, by all means, makes you a believer.
So beautiful. Like a fairy tale. What a great life your grandfather lived. Cherish and remember the time you shared together. Thanks for sharing.
did he tell that about nightwish?
@@mina0362 Please don't start a flame war under someone's comment remembering their deceased. Enjoy the music. Peace.
Marco's voice backed by Anette's is pleasant to my ears..
Eine der schönstes Melodien der Band.Einfach Kult.
I forgot the name of the song and just typed 'old man pulling flying ship' into the Google search. It worked, now I'm here again!
Same here, finally! In my case, just "light at the end of the world" 😂
lmaooooooo
Immature I wrote
Lavender
Skylanders
The lavanders
The Invaders
The Skylander
Islanders
Witch craft Landers
Log song
Shiplander
Floating boat
And at last I wrote the island song and it worked
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol flying ship
This song makes me have nostalgia of an era that I haven't lived...
Say Uri I get the same feeling
Maybe we have lived it, one good thing uncertainty gives us is endless possibilities .
It is best to transport ourselves when we close our eyes and we listen to this type of music
czcams.com/video/kIYvXgURsl0/video.html
Same here! I get this feeling even more powerful with "Creek Mary's Blood". That song is insane.
Me too
I feel like I've been in that era too😂
I came here to listen to this song after knowing about Markos' resignation. So sad! But we understand his problem, although we'll miss him as he's been an essential member of the band. Hope he'll be well and healthy. Thanks, Marko.
to be fair, what he described always was true, it's more about his own passion, that the industry being shitty.
Nightwish’s a mess always someone’s resignating
It really warms my heart to see Anette finally getting the love she deserves in the comments . 3 amazing lead singers, 3 incredible eras of Nightwish. You guys constantly inspire me. Thank you.
Yes...I do agree.
And all 3 equally great in their own way.
@@DotHackerKite94 Amen to that my friend.
🤘❤Anette forever our Nightwish Princess, Tarja forever our Queen & Floor our Goddess. ❤🤘
@@WonderfulWorldOfStuff beautiful definition.
"What instrument do you play?"
"The log"
+Lucas Davis not ever...
not only do i play the log....but i do so with other logs
Nefarious Fox lol
eh...technically violins, guitars and other wooden instruments are also logs...atleast they were at one point
sorry guys, captain kill joy just arrived
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
+Sylis copy past is awesome
yes we know, there is always some guy who has to put the lyrics in the comments and I don't understand why.
OrangeCrush Gaming so people can read the lyric so they don't need to google it?...
Yup
OrangeCrush Gaming then you need to start to think a little more lol
Listening to this wonderful song just after hearing of Marko's wish to resign from the band makes it even more powerful.
(I'm not crying... You're crying !)
That's why I came here, too 😥
Same 😞 But health comes first! Wish him all the best!
Same 😔
Came here for this. Thanks for the music Marko
Same...😭 i understand him but also am very upset as HE is the one that pops up when someone says Nightwish. Still, much looking forward to new projects he will certainly release when he is ready❤
I love ALL of Nightwish vocalists (Tarja, Marko, Anette, Troy and Floor). All of them fitted well in a different way, when it was needed. But, I don't know, the soft, angelical, and emotional way of Anette to sing brought a different experience for Nightwish. I totally understood now why she was choosen after Tarja's leaving. "Dark Passion Play" and "Imaginaerum" will remain forever as my favorite albums ever. So many emotions in these albums... Sorry, Anette, for recognizing your uniqueness only when you left. Love you!
And she's still going strong, both with her solo act and with Dark Element
Marco and Anette's harmonies are out of this world on this song... what a beautiful, beautiful song...
Epic tune. Seriously touches my heart. Reminds me of my Grandfather. A sailor all his life. Went to sea at 13, and went ashore at 65... Tough as they come. As loving as they come. Miss you granddad.
+Jesper Lassesen This sound is about the suicide of a man who lost everything though.
that is so beauty
this sound is nothing about suicide...
Marina Vlasova Can you explain it, please?
ハンジェルガブリエル More akin to a man who has lived his life in full and has seen the universe from the deck of his ship and this is him showing no regret and letting go.
His beard, his voice and himself will always be a legendary. Hope everything goes well for him and we can still hear his beautiful music and songs.
My sister introduced this song to me recently. She just passed away suddenly at 50 yrs old. I came here to listen and remember her. RIP my sweet sister.
💔💞💫
Your sister is not truly gone. You can still meet her. God said "I will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away". The lyrics are beautiful- "...and a smile in his brow. This is the long forgotten light at the end of the world, horizon crying (because of) the tears he left long ago". I know I sound pretentious, but this song isn't about sadness, but the bright future that awaits the sailors in the waters of life. Keep the wheel steady and sails all unfurled, full speed ahead. I wish you that happy future, believe in it.
@@IRussian007you're right! All the tears Got will wipe away!!
Bless you
Knowing that my words will not comfort your pain, I spontaneously felt the need to encourage you to keep strong and continue your life. I am sure that this will make your sister's soul in Heaven very happy.
I believe that the fact that she passed away prematurely at only the age of 50 and out of the blue was not fair at all.
Stay healthy and keep on treasuring her memory. 🙏
The atmosphere of the song is unbelievable: I feel like I'm walking through a cold and mythical Nordic landscape whenever I'm listening to the song. Escapism at its best! Thank you.
Sounds more like Finnish tribal music to me, which is not bad at all, given it was written by Marco.
Lol for me sounds like celtic music 😂 😂
BTW: good job with a profile pic Cornelius... Thought that it's a piece of dust on my phone... Tried to remove it 😂 😂
sounds like an old folk ( norse, celtic, irish ) song, i like it!
Well its filmed at Rovaniemi aka the capital of Finnish Lapland which sits exactly at the the arctic circle line. So your feelings are right. Though its no where near a ocean its more of that cold nordic landscape you were talking about.
This actually sounds like an Irish sea shanty, i.e. sailing songs that were anachronistically associated with pirates. For an example of shanties, look up the Drunken Sailor album by The Irish Rovers. Another fitting genre is Celtic music, examples found in the Celtic Twilight albums.
One strange coincidence I noticed: around 2:05, the flute melody sounds like The Alleged Paradigm by Epica (or Lugia's Song from Pokémon, take your pick).
Say what you want, but Marco and Annette duets were the best. The harmonies and vocal styles blended beautifully
I see it different. Marco and tarja were 2 forces of the nature that clash in term of voices, while with Annette it's a sort of harmony between there voices. It's like two faces of a band a storm and a lull. Both are good.
Will always be in our hearts, wherever you are Marko....
Always
I don't know why people don't recognize Anette as a great artist! She is Amazing.
Judge Me!
couldn't agree more.
u are right actually
not particularily amazing with nightwish, to say the least, but this one is a hit, still, I believe it's the only song where neither floor or tarja could top her, because she complement marco perfectly with her kind voice.
I just realized this is like a return to the very, VERY beginning of Nightwish, when Tuomas didn't think it would be a metal band and composed soft acoustic songs with the idea to sing them around campfires. Marko's song has this same feeling !
It would be amazing if they did an EP of campfire songs
to be honest, this my favorite nightwish song because it is softer than most of the other songs
@@peanut9560 Yea, this and setting sun, from when Tarja was with them, are two of my favs for that very reason. Their metal freaking rocks but theres a timeless wonder to their softer songs. It takes you to another time.
@@BattleBladeWarrior, no offence, you mean "Sleeping sun". Right? This song is one of my most favourites.
@@Mini-ul5us Lol, sorry yea thats the one!
my favorite viking with amazing voice
So true
They are not Vikings. Finland and Russians on genetics level are basically the same. Basically:
Russians - Vikings blood + Mongolian blood = Suomi.
@@Baltasarmk russians are slavs not vikings
@@Plevell Russians and Suomi are neither slavs or scandinavian.
@@Baltasarmk hol up there, we neither russians or mongolians you are making this up
Really love Nightwish! From Tarja, Annette, to Floor!
This is one of those few songs that always seems to leave me crying like a baby..
Agree :') Although I have to admit Rest Calm is also guilty of that for me.
This song radiates melancholy
God thank You for Nightwish
Fun fact: every single past and present member are atheists. Invoking Dog is a direct insult.
Nightwish doesn't sit around the campfire, the campfire sits around Nightwish 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was thinking the same thing 🤔 😅
So you're just gonna repeat the top rated comment on the video. Aight.
Pretty sure this was commented before, say something new
Любимая группа. Успехов вам, ребята, таких как вы, больше не делают
Красиво! Просто и красиво!
I love Annette's voice! her voice is so gentle and charming!
Dark passion play and imgaineruim are my favourite Nightwish albums. I started listening to them when I was 17 (30 now ) and I saw them live in Australia ( with Annette as the lead ) and they were amazing .
Agree
Marco, you will be missed!!
Happy Birthday in advance Legend! 🎉
Потрясающий клип и песня сам моряк и сердце радуется когда его смотришь и слушаешь
I'm still too fucking excited, I never thought I'd listen this song live, and I did last night!!
+demonizer123 me too, i listened to it on friday at Santiago, it was beautiful
+demonizer123 Me too. I listened this song yesterday at Colombia and I can't describe my feelings in that moment :')
+demonizer123 I heard it in 2012, and it was fantastic. Like others have said, I couldnt describe my emotions. the song gave me chills
+demonizer123 Had the same feeling when I saw them in late august. Wouldn't dreamed of that they would play it but it was so awesome when they did. Love Marco's great voice! :)
+demonizer123 Glorious eh? Saw them perform this in 2009, sadly, I haven't had a chance to see them live since, but I damn sure will again! Cheers!
This is the best song of Nightwish. So dark and so perfect!
Still such an amazing song even now in 2023 \o/ was even more incredible hearing it live.
God this video and song are extremely beautiful
Every time i listen to this it just gives me goosebumps and speaks to me soul, obsoloely one of he best songs in history
This song feels so nostalgic and out of this world
*A message to the future generations:*
_Don't let this song die._
А что делать? Петь не переставая?
Gen Z. I won’t.
I'm listening in 2123
We're basing an entire album around the concept.
Not sure why metal and folk blend didn't take off yet. Other than this song and Northwest Passage by UTA, the genre is wide open to explode!
I've been holding my feelings for the whole day.. And now at 1:25 am I'm listening to this song and crying as hell... Dear Marko I wish all the best to you and respect your decision, but you will be missed by so many of us.. Forever Nightwish fan..
🎸🎵🎶❤️🔥🤘felicidades!!🙏
No matter what happens or what I do, I will always carry Nightwish in my heart. And I have a special love for this song xD ♥♥♥
I love Floor and I love Tarja but no one could have done DPP and Imaginaerum like Anette did. Her voice was perfect for her songs. No one will ever do Tarja's, Anette's, and Floor's songs better than they themselves do.
The Anette albums are some of the NW's best and finest work. Floor is good on stage but the work NW is doing in the studio after Anette left is subpar. And now with Marco gone..
R😊😅 0:00 😅 1:37
Ibn my opinion, imaginaerum is the greatest album. Anette's voice is wonderful
Eu amo Floor e amo Tarja, mas ninguém poderia ter feito DPP e Imaginaerum como Anette fez. Sua voz era perfeita para suas músicas. Ninguém jamais fará as músicas de Tarja, Anette e Floor melhor do que eles próprios.🌹
No,, jopa,, tuli kaikenlaista,, miksi ei,,, jos on sodassa,,, voi muistella edellisen sodan kuolleita,, ja pitää vaan,, keep,, koska,, sotilaiden kokemukset,, on meillä,, kestää,, varmaan 100v.
Idk who you are... there is always a song that will hit you right in your soul and give you sudden unexplainable chills and for me this is that song
The quality of music, beauty of video and amount of creativity beats the shit out of many Hollyweird full-time movies that cost millions of dollars.
The two albums Nightwish recorded with Annette were two of their best albums. The songs were incredible and Annette’s voice was amazing.
I've been in a negative headspace for months. This song has been my beacon light, I feel I can relate to that old man. Alone, forgotten but still going.
There's no any other song like this one!
AMAZING!! ❤️❤️❤️
alternative Celtic touches a part of my soul... old souls feeling like they dont belong in this "day and age"
This era is any and all you want or imagine
Utwór dla dużych dzieci takich jak ja, marzenia dodają mi skrzydeł by wznieść się ku marzeniom z dzieciństwa które mogą zmienić świat, życie i...odejść tam gdzie znajdziemy kogoś o tych samych myślach czy marzeniach ♥️✊💪
I have listened to this song for soooo many years and it seriously is my favourite ballad of all
"He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world", farewell Marko Hietala. Thank you for all you gave us, know that you have inspired others to carry some amazing music into the future, now that your arm grows to weary to bear the weight of the torch
My favourite "slow" song from Nightwish
Nightwish - это нечто потрясающее и невероятно притягательное 😊
Essa canção é incrível, me arrepia toda vez que a ouço.
Kiss from Brazil
Beso desde Madrid
I've heard the live version many times, but just found this last night.
I am still shaken.
The harmony at 2:54 is absolute bliss!
Dear Lord those bagpipes!!! Goosebumps! Love this song!
I know right
Раньше вы лучше исполняли,я вырос на этих стареньких крутых песен🤘
Endlich habe ich dieses Lied wieder gefunden 🙏🙏🙏
If I only had the money to get these guys to play at my wedding...
ciriadeflora get a kickstarter going...I'll give a dollar
Same... ♥
ciriadeflora ya know Ive run that very scenario in my head and it never goes well.
That was my Bride Dance too :)
Wouldn’t we all?
Check-in todays. It's been 16 years since I first listened Nightwish's songs!
I grew up with local public radio shows like thistle and the shamrock, Gaelic salts, grass roots. Into my twenties metal was it for me. This is just lovely. Like a revisiting of my childhood
Anette's era.
I am from Angola. A friend from Portugal send this song to me about ten years ago; that was my first contact with Nightwish. I´m still in love with this song.
I have replayed this song so many times. such emotion in this song. amazing.
Love from Malmo Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 2023
Fills me with sadness and hope at the same time.
海辺で目を閉じながら聴きたいような、静かで、力強い名曲。マルコの低音が実に秀逸だ。
Wonderful song
This video is amazing.
What a picture it paints.
I've been a fan of Nightwish for many, many moon.
Happy new year 2024 all Scandinavia 🇫🇮🇩🇰🇮🇸🇧🇻🇸🇪
I've heard this song a thousand times and still tear up. every. fucking. time. Specially when the old man pushes the anchor off the cliff and smiles.
Best video of Nightwish
beautiful
Helloween Cover For sure. I felt in love
oof my back hurts watching this dude drag this boat around
Grossartig
a song that enters the soul, perfect.
It's not only the horizon who's crying now. We miss you, Marko 💙
We love you Marko. Take care on your next journey.
Marko Hietala, you are The Northern King. I wish the best for the future to you, your family, and your work. Thanks for many amazing moments in my musical life.
I can't remember to how many times I have listened to this particular song but never gets tired.
Not much of a PROGRESSIVE GENRE lover but their numbers are undeniable.
Love from INDIA..
I wish there were more songs like this
Unbelievable how they treat artist.....we will miss you Marko 💔
As an alto, I strongly appreciate Mr. Hietala, because his songs and vocals I can actually sing.😄 But all in all, love this band to the bottom of my heart❤
Amen to that, alto-sister
@@capnhuff Praised be by His beard, sis❤
@@SomeoneWhoHere May Its glorious braids uphold you forever ❤️😂
Who else noticed that Marco's part is different on this than on the album version? I got Dark Passion Play not too long after it came out, but I had never listened to the Islander Single or watched this video until just now. That final chorus hit and it sent shivers down my spine just like it did 10 years ago.
Elaborate?
@Pilgrim's Promise If you compare single version to album version you can hear Marco's vocals are a bit more prominent on single version.
exactly the reason I come to this version time after time
Nightwish is among the bands who's music just grips my soul and squeezes the tears from my eyes
Nightwish rocks, buddy. They do.
I suffer with constant anxiety and panic attacks and this song is one of the things that helps me the most since I started listening to Nightwish... when I'm having crisis I lay down in my bed and put my earphones, I listen to this song and then I feel ways more calm
@ý Nguyễn Như Hoàng I think so and I'm grateful for this ♡
Tuomas said in one interview that some fans do say that his music helps them over difficult moments/feelings and also has saved their lives (not commit suicide)...and Tuomas says that "good ... I have been able to do some good for other people". This is a Marco song, however, but generally Nightwish material as well. Check band "Auri" too ... relaxing music as well.
Hope you are better 😊
Maravillosa canción. Me encanta la voz de Marko Hietala. 🖤
Es mi brother qué le digo
Probably their best video.
Accidentally selected this song... couldn’t stop listening or watching 😍
Beautiful work
Same here and same here :)
This will always be one of my all-time favourite Nightwise songs
Thank god for the internet that I could find this divine fusion of perfect visuals with perfect song at this so imperfect time. Gratitude
I sent this video to my mother the other day - she knows no one single word of English - and asked her to watch it and guess what the song is about; and she got the meaning right from A to Z. I congratulated her on that and she replied: "Let's congratulate those who conveyed such deep meanings to someone ignorant of the language sung."
This tells much about the enthralling universality of music and of human feelings in general.
So, thank you, Nightwish!
I love this so much it made me rethink and be thank full of my life there's hope for everything i went from college dropout to medical student... It's never to late who ever reads this keep fighting for what you want you don't need luck it is all hard work and effort that will make you what you want to be in life
I am a drop-out also and now i am working as a software engineer.Previously, i worked as a clerk and taught myself programming. Recently, i am on the verge of joining a new team as a product manager. Yes, it is all about hard work and loving the process.
Were you em-burdened by responsibility to others? Your experience is not the same as others. Others might have to do bad things just to do what they want with their life. I think that people should take responsibility for their life but to imply that hard work is all anyone needs to do is probably quite frustrating to many. There are only so many hours in the day.
thank you Amir! I'm having a little hard time, I am unable to findmy way, I don't know what I want to study and at the same time a lot of things don't work well In my country, so I'm finding difficulties to be inspired and to love something to do for the rest of my life, BUT, it's true that we don't need luck, everything is about hard work and effort 💪💪👊👊
Yeah but it makes it hard when the company wants you eork for continues to set you up so that you look bad to their peers. It's all a ponzi scheme.
We are all here to remember Marko and Nightwish like it was, of course we are
Somehow every day I hear this song and never get bored.
When I'm tired with such a heavy workload, this song is what I always listen to and suddenly life becomes more enthusiastic
Thank you Marco for this song.
