- Awesome Pink Floyd cover by the finnish band Nightwish
**This is property of Nightwish and Warner Music Group, I do not own this recording and I am not making or trying to make any profit of it.** - Hudba
I came here to say goodbye to the great Marko Hietala. I love his version of high hopes and I'll miss him on Nightwish. The best of luck for you Marko, the grass was greener and the light was brighter with you on the band.
He has left the door ajar. We may one day see a reunion if the issues raised are resolved. That does happen with bands (Bruce Dickenson and Dave Murray, Iron Maiden / Rob Halford, Judas Priest), although the case here is unusual as it's both medical and operational.
I'll say fare the well, Marko, and all the hope I can give that things become better.
@@jonathanday6692 LET US PRAY !!!!!!
@@jonathanday6692 As far as I've heard/read, his issues aren't with the band, but with the music industry...
The man had some fucking awesome pipes. I still dont really understand why he would leave, he said industry reasons and being held back in his career... man you play in front of 80k people on a monday night your not being held back man :3 it sucks but he is fantastic, one of the greatest male vocalists EVER imo.
same here.
Marko is such an underrated vocalist, simply because he's a back up vocalist in a female fronted band with world class singers.
But when he gets the stage, he delivers.
Floor didn't join the band until 2013, so ya know. :) Nightwish has been around for a long while - since 1996!
@@logankerlee 96? Damn, that is just 3 years younger than me O.O
@@MantraHerbInchSin xD Nice. I was born in 88.
checkout the live version of The Islander at Tampere. Marco sings and Floor backs him up, lol. What a high, even for a pro, to have Floor be your back-up vocalist... even if it was just for a song.
@@oktober-vh6gl I know... That has to be the ultimate Floorgasm... We'll never know what it's like lol
My thoughts are with Marko right now. Hope, he will be better soon and someday, he will be back on stage. Marko... U are truly missed!
"Forever and ever"....🖤
what happened?
@@TheFoeni007 he left the band as well as the public life. I can’t blame the guy. Truly gifted bass player and absolutely amazing vocalist. One of my favorite musicians of all time. I think he just reached that point and he said “I’m done”
Eiii marko eiiii😭ei saa tehä noin😭
@@climber950 He has a history with depression. Too much wits, too much thinking. Too kind a man in a harsh world. Hope he recovers.
This is not a cover, this is a TRIBUTE. HUGE difference. With out disrispect, NIGHTWISH made this song to they own.
-old D. J. Eric
the greatest male voice i have ever heart
As a fan of Floyd going back to the 60's, I tip my hat to Nightwish on an excellent cover and my deep appreciation of covering a song that speaks to our generation's reflections about the sacrifice of our dreams in order the live the nightmare of others. My hope for those coming behind us is to learn from our folly and not follow in our mistakes. My dreams for you is to be better than we were.
I suggest you follow your dreams too. As long as you're still breathing, age is just a number. Don't make it an excuse
Had to check if I saw that quote somewhere else. Thanks for the reflection
i don't tip my hat at all, i don't like this version at all, it loses all the emotional sensations that the floyd brings. The soul of the song is destroyed.
@@coco_bold Nightwish didn't do it that bad, but the end of the song in fact destroys the atmosphere of the Floyd original what is really sad. You know the Gruhak cover? They've done it better by far.
Not a cover but a tribute in their own words.
This is the way a cover should be treated... with so much respect, honor, soul and character. A lot of people could imitate something but use something great already created to create something great as well but different and with distinction it is just magic
Dude, I hope you find some meaning in life, beyond commenting on a random strangers 7-Month past post ... on a video you proport not to like.
All the best :)

True and false.
Musicians in this video come across a little bit fake and arrogant - esp the guitarist, keyboardist, drummer and lead vocalist
Very true Leonardo - It was, is and will be a brilliant respectful cover of one off the best bands ever.
Who else is this blowing away 15+ years later?
"The grass was greener...the light was brighter..."
Let`s hope one day the grass becomes as green and the light as bright.
Good luck to you, great maestro of vocal and bass.
Take care.
We pray you`re not gone for good really.
HAIL MARKO!
The more I watch this, the more I realize Empuu is the star of this performance.
I am 63...I have seen Pink Floyd in concert several times, seen them perform this song..... I have to say that this is my favorite version of this classic.... I am so heartbroken that Marko has chosen to leave this stellar band.... he will be impossible to replace....
agreed As a picker maybe. As a Vocalist in this band NEVER. breaks my Heart
That guitar solo is just out of this world! Always my favorite part of the song. Gives me chills every time!
that guitar solo is absolutely amazing that no words can describe, that guy put everything he has into that moment, truly amazing I wish it would be a little longer.
@@cbehen he indeed put everything in this solo! One of the best if not THE best guitar solos I ever heard in music history! Nightwish will forever be my favorite band!
i hate when People cover Pink Floyd ; this one is just awesome , its metal and psychadelic and does feel the melancholy like of the original High Hopes !
smae with a forrest from cure by aeon winds.. or lady in black by ensiferum or smalltownboy by paradise lost.. i think this only works with metal covers (or a genre that is diffrent tot the original) .. because it s something diffrent..
Enslaved covers "one of these days" check it.
on the contrary I think it's good to discover another way to play & to song greats songs
Same. There are some songs where if you touch them you better be different of better. NW really killed it in the good way. I love Marco's take on the vocals.
Fuck you
All the honor to the original but this heavier version by Nightwish is really awesome and Marco nails it with his voice.
Great band they are one of the best I’ve heard and I’m a maiden fan Love all music when it makes a connection to my soul. God bless them all for there great gifts. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️👍
Such a talent and yet I'd never heard of him, thanks CZcams
Best cover ever!
I have never seen a drummer like this.. This guy is a beast.. Gives the songs his own energy
Really love it too, this drummer belongs to the Gods, but just listen to Gojira in the Heaviest Matter of the Universe, les Vieilles Charrues
Jukka is fucking fantastic.
He is the former drummer Jukka replaced by Kai. Jukka suffered from insomnia and story tells he got migraine attack during this performance. Note first the nod from Tuomas at the keyboard and later Emppu at the guitar goes to check if everything is alright (jumps back to front stage) .
@@mangalover0149 Jukka's drum kit is named "Red Headed Stepchild". LOL
You must see Darkside from Mgła, comparing to him that man is like young boy.
This may well be the best live rock male vocal performance ever
Nops. Myles Kennedy in Blackbird
no se si la mejor, pero una de las mejores seguro!.. estaria en un TOP y eso ya es mucho decir :) Nightwish es demasiado grande por su actuacion en vivo, las bandas con esa calidad en vivo se cuentan con los dedos de las manos.
Freddie Mercury.
Dio?
Marco is RJD of Finland, but lets not get carried away and say he's better than Ronnie James Dio himself.
Talented musicians are playing song of the other talented musicians
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
.
Emppu's guitar solo in this song is eargasmic!
I went here after hearing about Marko's resignation :(
Me too. He will be dearly missed.
Me too. :(
same
Me Too....he will be mised
Marco's mastery of this song, Had this old Scottish Viking Crying like a baby
Это одна из самых любимых песен за всю мою жизнь. Я безумно люблю ее именно в исполнении Марко и только его пронизывающий до глубины души вокал, задевающий все струны внутри способен на такой полет. Эта песня целиком и полностью его. Он в ней растворился, он с ней сроднился. Невероятно талантливый человек. Обожаю! Марко, мы любим и ждем твое творчество не смотря ни на что.
I love just how much this comes across as four good friends simply jamming together and having a fantastically chill time doing so.
best rock rendition ever...
iconic masterpiece calling for an iconic rendition
Suffering total burnout is terrible! I pray he finds his passion in singing for us again, one day! A wonderful, deep soul...this man tells a story whenever he sings, without the need for fancy theatrics or crazy moves.💖
Farewell Marko
You will always be the legend for us, The Nigthwish Army
We will miss you
After reading the news, i'm absolutely heartbroken. I was too young back when Tarja left, and out of the loop when anette did too, but now that i'm back to adoring nightwish, as it was part of my childhood and it will forever have a special place in my heart, i can't help but believe this is the same way fans felt knowing about Tarja leaving.
I remain convinced that mental health should always be a priority, and that's why i will love this band no matter what happens, taking into account that the people that are part of it are really talented guys and they kick ass just as much as they did back in the beginning.
I don't have enough words to explain just how many feelings i am going through, and i can only hope that Marko's resignation doesn't mean Nightwish's decay.
Damn, i got emotional, i really wish Marko the best, i and wish for him to feel better eventually, someday, somehow, because there are lots of people who love him, and we'll be waiting
Marko ist ein Weltstar, seine Stimme und sein Können am Bass ist unübertrefflich. Ich habe noch nie etwas Besseres gehört. Dieses Cover ist so dermaßen gut, es ist immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Marko und Yucca sind nicht zu toppen. Es ist sehr traurig, dass es diese Konstellation nicht mehr geben wird. 😢
I hope Gilmour sees this. It's amazing cover and tribute.
in case you (still) don't know, he did. He did post the link on his social media so i guess he approves :D
OMG tHis power brings me to tears. God I pray to you to heal Marko with your tender touch. The rest of us on this planet desire his touch. Please GOD Please heal his mind body and soul and return him to us. Nightwish will never be the same otherwise....
no words.
just beautiful.
just one "wow
There's no doubt that Nightwish is one of the best band on earth. Simply most amazing cover ever anybody did i think. PinkFloyd must be proud of you guys 🤜🤛, we all are.
Marko is a great musician . His vocals are amazing.
This is my first time hearing him,wow
@@jandavison7288 Enjoy. The man is remarkable .
Do I just Google night wish to find him? Would love to see more 🕊️
@@jandavison7288 Yes indeed .
@@jandavison7288 you can Google Nightwish he is on much of their videos . Also try Northern Kings . Also Marko' s own channel . And his sons have a band called Tarot . Enjoy.
Been listening to Nightwish for years and this is hands down my absolute favourite song . There is no other song like this .
Man, Marco is one Hell of a vocalist! Whether as a soloist or as the male vocal counterpart to the female singer on Nightwish , he never fails to deliver. The whole band is just an incredible collection of talent. It is shocking how few have ever heard of them.
Нет слов, одни эмоции......это офигительно круто
How beautiful!! Each time I listen to this, I am transfixed. Lost. Truly a stunning masterpiece sung by this phenomenal artist! A heartfelt thank you, Marco! You are truly missed. Still.😔❤
Also people say Emppu isn't that great of a player? Damn man.
It really is a pity I can upvote a comment only once...
If Nightwish were a puzzle, Emppu is a big piece of that beautiful, amazing picture
People are always confusing what musicians show in songs or on stage with their real skill.. Just because the style of a band isn't focused on high skill solos, that doesn't mean they aren't awesome players. Often quite the opposite, I would say.
Emppu delivers what NW needs from him, and NW isn't a "guitar solo band". It doesn't mean he's not a great musician.
@@henriqueelias5440 If anything, it makes him a fantastic musician.
World class musicians! Marco and Jukka, you are so missed!
I swear this drummer is a beast.
I LOVE Pink Floyd and get very defensive about the multitudes of crappy covers out there and tributes that don't hold a candle. With that said, this is one of the best covers, of anything, ever, and this live performance is truly stunning.
Does the original credit in style, nothing less than what I'd expect from Nightwish.
they destroyed the soul of the song, the emotion. Bad cover for me.
Huge fan of both Nightwish and Pink Floyd and very impressed with this cover. And Jukka's emotion on the drums makes me almost weep.
@@coco_bold Can't not agree more. Another example is Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan. Although many people say Pantera version is good, I still think it just destroys the soul of original song.
@@TheMrtop10 maybe hook up with Coco in a dark room with cobwebs. I have been into Pink Floyd since 1969 and don't think many days have gone by without spinning a track or two, I feel this is def not a blatant cover more a very skillfully crafted tribute full of soul that is obviously done out of respect for the song and love of it, I prefer to listen to this for that plus that reason and love this solo more btw. Other bands try hard to clone but with Pink Floyd it's pointless so for me this is refreshing twist and worthy addition to my playlist
My favorite song, by one of my favorite bands. Excellent!
Never heard of Nightwish before I went looking for 'Pink Floyd covers' back in 2012 or so. Huge fan ever since.
They hook ya don't they? Lol
Marco Hietalala is Marco Hietala, he sings the song in his own way, and does not try to be David Gilmour. Cover is hell good, probably one of the best!
one of the most beautiful guitar solos in melodic metal
Four of the most talented musicians on the planet combined with Marco's voice create another Nightwish masterpiece.
Marco is a true legend
WHAT a cover! - One of the best ever..... Sorry to see Nightwish today 😞 Jukka was one of the absolute best drummers ever, but Kai Hahto is really great too 🙂 HOWEVER - Marko can not be replaced - they are not the same without him 😞 Hope that he will return.....
One of the most relaxing Pink Floyd songs ever
Nightwish,with a splendid vocalist that keeps the band by a class incredible.
Marko you will be missed. All the best.
I just found this….it’s unbelievable !!!!!!🎸🎸🎸👍
The best Nightwish concert ever 🔥
One of the best cover that ever was made
This is exactly how cover versions should be. Adding more value to original one.
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
Thx for posting lyric man 🎵🎼🎶🎤😎👊
You who post lyrics in comments are the real MVP.
@@nebo274 What do you mean MVP?
@@sverre371 Google it.
Watching these guys perform and my goosebumps have goosebumps. God Marco I will miss you.
Nightwish is the bomb!! Marco is awesome! Drummer was killing it!!!!
Markos Resignation: "I haven’t been able to feel validated by this life". IMHO Marko is the best and most inspiration male vocalist the earth has seen, such a pity his reocgnition isnt seen and he doesnt feel validated, all my love to Marko!
Oh trust me The Army Knows and we are in Tears WE PRAY for his health and return as millions do
@@garywillingham3644 yea dude i cant stop listening to this daily no other vocalist can ever compare!
Marco is not from Earth with that incredible voice...its amazing!!
This song just gets better and better every time i listen to it. Everything about this cover is a masterpiece. Thanks for countless hours of entertainment!
This is absolutely FANTASTIC!
The fact that they have managed to produce an even greater result to such a masterpiece shows that they are a band equal to those with which we the older ones grew up... By far the best band in the world since their appearance....
Лучшее что может быть, это легенда навсегда 🥰🥰🥰🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍
Marco is one hell of a vocalist.
Kuutamo13 yep. He may not be the greatest singer ever but he is hella good for this band sound.
looks rough on the outside, but yes! super talented...read the entire book!
He's great. No falsetto. He's got it.
haha you got to be kidding lol.
That was a hell of a guitar solo too.
Great Pink Floyd cover, top performance by the singer!
I love this group
bestes Pink Floyd Cover aller Zeiten 🥰
I love this version, must have heard it at least 100 times❤️
The whole song is absolutely insane f*îng voice, f*ing guitar, f*ing perfect creation
Pink Floyd transcends boundaries, religion, and really everything. The fact that Nightwish knows Pink Floyd and likes them enough to do a cover speaks for itself. This was amazing.
Marco's voice is mesmerizing .... !!!
Waw
To think that we’ll never see those 4 guys again together makes me sad. They’re chemistry on stage was amazing ❤️
Like ELP
This is my first time ever hearing Nightwish...covering one of my favorite songs.. I will definitely have to check out more
I'm jealous because i want to discover Nightwish first time again...
Their cover of Phantom of the Opera is damn good too.
Same here
Nightwish Army has arrived Check out the greatest !!!
Its such an deep and amazing journey !!
How's the journey going, it's been a couple of years?
This has to be my favorite Emppu solo ever.
Wunderschön. Mir war bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht aufgefallen, wie fantastisch die Stimme von Marko Hietala ist.
This song simply needed this HM cover.
why am I just finding this? this is awesome
Pink Floyd must be proud. Congrats from Rio, Brazil. Great version. PERFECT, HEAVY, MASTER PIECE
David Gilmour should be proud. Best cover ever
He does!!!
Amazing cover!!!
So ahould nick mason

Pink Floyd forever! Awesome cover!
Best cover I have ever heard. Cannot stop listening to it
Same here. Been listening to it since I was a little kid and I still get goosebumps everytime.
Ich höre dieses Meisterwerk täglich, das Beste was ich je gehört habe. Marco ist ein Meister. Es gibt keine bessere Stimme. Wahnsinn. Es ist wirklich ein Wunderwerk, so schön ist es. Aber auch alle anderen sind einfach unübertrefflich gut.
OOH those finnish vikings keep me here still 2020, n Pink Floyd of course! what a performance so much talent.
This has to be the best cover I’ve heard.
My God Marko!! What a monster! What a Voice. I`ve never heard anyone do a Pink Floyd cover this well, and making it their own.
Pink Floyd is one of the best Bands in the world without a doubt! But I have to be honest... this version of High Hopes is a blast!! Nightwish didn't just cover it, the made it a masterpiece.
My favorite band playing a cover of my childhood band. This is it. I'm so glad I found this.
Pink Floyd must say thank you NIGHWISH --- newborn song
Masterpiece.
Sinceramente, la voz de Marco cae perfecta para este gran tema, el mejor cover sin duda lml
Really nice hommage to the great Pink Floyd ship, sailing on the streams of musical ocean since 60'.... influencing so many styles and so many hearts! Great and majestuous!
I cannot imagine how this felt seeing live and lucky the concert goers were.
I would pay big money to see Marko, Tuomas, Jukka and Emppu perform this again
Absolutely amazing cover of this song... my favorite version of it. It gives me goosebumps.
From a Pink Floyd fan:
Awesome cover!
