I am not even Finnish, but this piece still fills me with a sense of strong emotion, and pride even... I have enormous respect for Sibelius,and the way his work restored hope for Finns in time of darkness.... thumbs up if anyone else feels overwhelmed by this piece and remembers it from childhood!!! (I had a weird childhood!)
I suspect no other melody could express soul of Finland. Anyone who visited this country will certainly agree. Charm of white nights, countless lakes and endless forests has no match anywhere in the world. If I had a choice of country to be born in, it would be Finland.
As a Finn I liked this version. The original version still exists. Nightwish just just did their version and I can see Jean Sibelius approving the emotional message and the journey which this version highly respects. Finlandia is an inspirational piece of art and that was it's original purpose. To raise hope and look forward. That´s the universal core idea, not how it shoul be played. So thank you Nightwish. This must have been a great opening for the concert.
The only thing that annoys me is that, why this isn't our national anthem? Simply one of the most beautiful and powerful song on the finnish music history.
Ei välttämättä tää versio nosta tunteita niin paljoa, mutta auta armias, kun Jean Sibeliuksen oma versio ja se kaikista tunnetuin. Sen pienet osat jopa Tuntemattoman Sotilaan lopussa ja siinä saa kyyneleet virtaamaan ja jonkinmoisen haikeuden tai jotain, ehkä kiitollisuuden siitä, että saa elää vapaassa Suomessa veteraanien uhrautuessa maansa puolesta jne.
lintu25 Nii... No ei välttämättä...Mut tähän se menee. Globalisaatio tulee vaikka kuinka yrittäs estää. Täytyy vaan sopeutua ja muistaa omat juuret ja ne veteraanit ketkä taisteli tän maan meille.
Kyllä aina orkkista kuunellessa kyynel vierähtää. Ei sille minkään mahda, että rakastan kotimaatani ja haluan sen pysyvän sellaisena kuin se on maailmalla tunnetuksi tullut. Olkaa hyviä muille, mutta älkää antako kulttuurimme kadota vain miellyttääksemme muita.
Lovely, I like it. It tells modern peopple to modern way, what is indepency, what is needed to have indepency. To Finnish peopple this album track is almoust blessed.
Every Independence day I listen to this video cuz it's so beautiful version of Finlandia hymn. Happy 106th Independence day Finland my beloved country 💙🤍🎉
Suomi 100 years soon! Words of FInlandia translated: "Finland, behold, your day has now come dawning; Banished is night, its menace gone with light, Larks' song again in morning-brightness ringing, Filling the air to heaven's great height, And morning's glow, night's darkness overcoming; Your day is come, o my native land. O Finland, rise, stand proud, the future facing, Your valiant deeds recalling, once again; O Finland rise, in the world's sight erasing From your fair brows vile slavery's stain. You were not broken by oppressors ruling; Your morn has come, o my native land."
I sang the words and am impressed with your translation! I bet it took a lot of time and thought just to find the right words with the right amount of syllables
This is so nice, i love this song, i love finland, witch is the country where i live, i love sibelius, this is so good song and specially, i love NIGHTWISH
Can you Do A Gig in Glasgow,Scotland( soon to be Independent ) the students, would go mental, for your style of music :) love you all. Kind Regards Ken
Here's the lyrics of the Finlandia Hymn in Finnish: Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa, Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois, Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois. Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa, Sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa. Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle Pääs seppelöimä suurten muistojen, Oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle Sa että karkoitit orjuuden Ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle, On aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.
It was kind of sad, that a very few people knew it in Hungary :( I felt a bit ashamed of them. But i was singing it, while standing in the first line and it became a lifelong memory. :)
True. I think that every Finnish family have some kind of War history. In fact, almost every Finnish citizens did something to help, the woman made sure our soldiers had Food and such.
@ClareBElsey Once.. I was in my high school age on a trip from my homeland Finland to France to a small village called Taizé where young lutherans gathered to keep in touch. In a meeting we had to say something about our country. They all said something, I sang this song: Finlandia.

Great Finnish Composer Sibelius and Great Finnish Band Nightwish. I love this song.
SO duo i!
Finland has the most amazing hymn in the world
Beautiful country!
Bojan Boskovic It is Suomi, really.
The only thing that annoys me is that,
why this isn't our national anthem? Simply one of the most beautiful and powerful song on the finnish music history.
Tony Montana That would be composer.Check your spelling.
Finland in English!
Väitän ettei yksikään suomalainen ja hieman edes suomalaista taustaansa tunteva ihminen voi kuunnella tätä ilman kylmiä väreitä.
En mä ainaskaa voinu.. Ja ilman kyyneliä

Varsinkin intin jälkeen alko arvostamaan ko. teosta aivan uudella tavalla.

Just saw them in Atlanta and they opened with this. Stunning live.
Respect from Poland.Finland&Nightwish!!!!!!
Well poland is very nice to.I visited last year and it felt like home right away.I will be coming back for the tatra mountains.poland is beautiful.
Lovely, I like it. It tells modern peopple to modern way, what is indepency, what is needed to have indepency. To Finnish peopple this album track is almoust blessed.
My father served an LDS mission in Finland many years ago. This is one of my favorite hymns. "Be Still My Soul."
I was fortunate enough to catch this when I saw Nightwish in Leipzig in 2012. Brilliant take on "Finlandia" by NW.
my heartfelt respects from Canada... osa sydämeni asuu edelleen, että kaunis maa nyt ja ikuisesti
¿Aún aina?
Oh Nightwish you never fail me!! I LOVE this...
My Nanna's favourite hymn, and a wonderful piece of music.
I loved hearing this version, very different from any version I've heard before.
Beautiful piece of music, love Nightwish as well.

Here's the lyrics of the Finlandia Hymn in Finnish:
Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa,
Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,
Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa
Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois.
Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,
Sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.
Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle
Pääs seppelöimä suurten muistojen,
Oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle
Sa että karkoitit orjuuden
Ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle,
On aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.
Kiitos.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää
+Ilpoxi Samoin näin tasan vuoden päästä ;)
I usually don't feel myself as being a finn. This song changes it all.
Fuck yeah!!!
Thank you Nighwish!
Hyvä Suomi!!!!!!
A true CHERISH to those people in war and to those in home front. Also my kind lost a few lives. No more wars, please.
It was kind of sad, that a very few people knew it in Hungary :( I felt a bit ashamed of them. But i was singing it, while standing in the first line and it became a lifelong memory. :)
Awesome
its damn great!! EPIC
Yeah, i'm finnish and proud it.
How can somebody "dislike" that kind of Wonder? :(
The Pipes remind me of Scotland!
Troy Donockley, who plays them, is from the UK (Cumbria to be exact).
Csodás :))))
I love Finnland for giving us Lordi and Nightwish *____*
And many more great metal bands 🖤🤘🏻. Thunderstone, Machine Men, Harmaja, Charon, Tarot etc..😎
ihana
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää 2016!
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää kaikille suomalaisille!
nice one!
Strong emotional song
Nice!
aivan mahtava
Sibelius dropped the banger
@PaulJonkerHoffren ...except the melody, which happens to be Sibelius's Finlandia.
True. I think that every Finnish family have some kind of War history. In fact, almost every Finnish citizens did something to help, the woman made sure our soldiers had Food and such.
Hyvä Suomi! :)
Actually that was the real deal. I was there. Some of the Finnish fans were crying during this song. =) Including me. =)
Nin hyvää🙏👍❤❤
4:58 Mistake! :D
Awesome track, by the way.
There are no mistakes with Nightwish, only variations.
@PaulJonkerHoffren As someone already pointed out this *IS* Sibelius' Finlandia. It's just a different kind of arrangement.
Thanks brother! Every one is the same so lets keep the flag high! (and im the finnish one)
@ClareBElsey Once.. I was in my high school age on a trip from my homeland Finland to France to a small village called Taizé where young lutherans gathered to keep in touch. In a meeting we had to say something about our country. They all said something, I sang this song: Finlandia.
Thsi is much better then original !!!!
