  • I fell in love with Nightwish via the incredible Floor Jansen. Little did I know, Marco Hietala is a pure vocal genius as well. How does this band have SO MUCH TALENT? ... ... but let's be real - this isn't just talent. Its years of dedication to their craft. Dang, they're good.
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff as she listens to "The Islander" performed for the very first time.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Performed by Nightwish - Composed by Tuomas Holopainen and Marco Hietala
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I definitely recommend watching the original videos without interruptions, here's the link:

    Marco had an operation to remove a polyp from his vocal chords that went wrong. He lost his ability for falsetto/head voice and had to relearn how to sing to get around the problems caused by the operation. He has done that brilliantly.

      @@JessyBee1313 Good luck with that, you are going to need it. Just remember, you will not understand any normal conversation in Finnish even if you learn it all before-hand, it will take a little while to adjust to normal conversation (we tweak the language we use a lot depending on where, about what and to whom we are talking to subconsciously, and also speak really really fast). Just don't get too shocked and give up, if you have learned the grammar and vocab properly, you will adjust quite fast if you keep up with it
      .
      ps. We also have news in "simplified" Finnish called 'Yle News in Easy Finnish' these days that avoid difficult words and grammar whenever possible, and speak in a slower pace. It is for foreigners learning the language and people with cognitive shortcomings. I highly recommend listening to that as an extra tool when transitioning to practical listening practices

    Hello Elizabeth: Story behind the song!
    (C) Tuomas Holopainen: " I would have been willing to pick this up from the Dark Passion Play album as a single, if the singer hadn’t just changed( Tarja ----> Anette 2006). A Celtic song that Marko played a couple of years before, in the back room. Saying it would properly not sit for his band, Tarot. It flashed through my mind, this song is about a lighthouse keeper by the way. So Marko finished the song, and I did the words. Little Elegia, a poetic song, about a lone lighthouse keeper. And no symbolism, for once, direct storytelling. This song is what we can play in gigs acoustically ”.

She has told, that She doesn't look so many reactions, for reactions. BUT would be interesting about mucical feedback about Her singing and talking about it!.

    Marco just recently released his first solo album, and it's really quite good. Anyone who wants to hear more of him, look for "Marko Hietala - Pyre of the Black Heart", or "Mustan sydämen rovio" if you want to hear him in Finnish; the album has full versions in either language available. And yes, his first name is officially spelled with a k. He's always used Marco as a stage name but decided to go with the official spelling for his solo record.

    Nightwish actually has quite a few folks songs. Particularly with their second vocalist, between Tarja and Floor. I have always been impressed by the way that they write the songs to work with each singer's unique voice. Anette was very good at the folk style, and some jazz and pop.

      @@The_Greml1n Generally, If someone is talking about a flute, they are talking about an instrument held sideways (traverso), where you blow across an opening. For whistles (Irish whistle, pennywhistle, low whistles), they are end-blown, and held straight out and down. Whistles come in many keys/sizes from tiny soprano G down to huge Bass A. Pipes usually refer to the various bagpipes, the most common of which are Highland (Scottish) or Uilleann (Irish).

    Me being a fan of nightwish since angels come first album, I must say that my absolute favorite track by them happens to be not one of their originals, but a cover. That is not to imply that their own music is somehow "less", but indicate just how good of a job they did with this performance. I also am a Pink Floyd fan for as long as I can remember, and that is exactly who the cover is of! The song is called "High Hopes" Many many bands have attempted to cover Pink Floyd over the years but most fail to recreate the melancholy ever so present in the soul of Pink Floyd. This song is from the "Division Bell" album which is during David Gilmour era. I feel like Marco has not let them down.
    You should react to th Nightwish cover, but I recommend first reminding yourself of the original by listening to it first. After all, it's not one of the widely know songs.

She has such an interesting voice and is one of Floor's major influences. A great starting point would be "Travel" by her former band The Gathering. In my opinion, the best version to listen to is here on CZcams, "The Gathering - Travel (TG25: Live at Doornroosje - unofficial video)". Hope you get around to it because I think you'd really enjoy her voice and the song as a whole.

    You look so happy all the time and we can see you are REALLY excited and enjoying these artists. It's really cool to listen to them through your expert eyes, it gives me the sense of a newfound admiration for them, it's a different way of admiring their music. Thanks for this opportunity =)
