This is the song that saved Tuomas life.. he went through a very hard time and he desided to take his life in this song and not in real life. The song is a true masterpiece.

Another interesting thing to note is, the ending, much of that was in a letter written to tuomas from his mother. Those are her words.

THE most intense Nightwish song! It has so much personal tragedy behind it. I really recommend you guys go through the lyrics, they give me the shivers and tears in my eyes every single time I listen to that song. It's true what someone else has mentioned below, Tuomas did say in interviews that this was his therapy after the events around Tarja's firing. If you go deep into the words, you'd find great, touching, even ground shaking lines. The song starts with "The end" and ends with "the beginning", to underline the cathartic experience the poet has. The dispear in "I cannot cry, 'cause the shoulder cries more" or "Tell me once my heart goes right". The words semi-whispered by the boy. The line "Now I only have 3 minutes and counting" after realising there's exactly 3 minutes until the poet's death in the song. And that heart when it stops beating... I could go on forever about this song and I would choose it any day over The Greatest Show on Earth! I just love when other people discover what a treasure Nightwish's music is! Next track you should check out: Song of Myself

The story behind this song...it's everything! My favorite Nightwish song, for all reasons.

It is an amazing song and I am still jealous you guys got to see this live.

Did you know that the amount of time after she says 'Now I only have three minutes and counting' and the moment we hear the swing of the blade later in the song is EXACTLY 3 MINUTES! Tuomas! What a genius!

I have only known Nightwish thru the reactors, and now that I know of them and have been listening to them I cannot get enough of them. And I feel as I am late to the party as I am 57, but I love Nightwish..

Every time I listen to this song, in particular the final part, I get tears on my eyes, she can drive me into emotions like no other...great video!

Marco Nieddu right. Me too. Tarja fans who stopped listening to NIGHTWISH when Tarja departed will say Floor doesn't draw out the same emotion. I completely disagree with them. I think Floor draws out even More emotion.

Actually here is fact about this song, Tuomas wrote this song after Tarja was fired and this song tells about the pain that Tuomas felt. In this song Tuomas kills himself so that he wouldnt need to die in real life. Hole song is about the pain, agony and torture that Tuomas had to experience. This is sad song but in same time so beautifull :( Please do Nightwish - The siren (end of an era)

@FairsleyDifference. Tuomas was the only one who didn't want to kick her. Marco self said, that he was first to say that he would leave, if TT stayed. So, instead to break the band, Tuomas agreed to kick her. But because Tuomas was considered to be the leader, he got all the shit on him. Mostly it was Tarja's husband to blame. He demanded more and more to Tarja. She didn't even use same transportation as the rest of the band. Instead she used private planes, on band's expense. Just one example. And Tarja said that she would leave after next record, anyway. So not much difference there.

Knowing how hard of a song this is for Tuomas to perform, and that they still did is pretty admirable. You can feel the pain in this song. That's what makes great music, when the songwriter pours their heart out into their music.

I remember I absolutely lost my shit when I heard this live in Mexico 3 years ago. I was crying my eyes out singing every word. Is such a beautiful sad and emotional song. Just pure perfection.

Thanks, this song is so beautiful, so amazing. Thanks for doing it. There is still one Nightwish song that stands out as a masterpiece and that is Creek Marys Blood, it is closer to your history than you think. Kiitos ☺

Great, great beautiful song! 😍 The Wembley concert is amazing! I got it on Blu-ray. 😊

O que mais me impressiona quando escuto a Floor é que as músicas do Nightwish não foram escritas para a voz dela, mas ela faz uma versão tão espetacular que na maioria das vezes ofusca a versão original. Eu amo essa mulher, trouxe nova vida ao Nightwish. Impossível não se apaixonar pela última parte dessa música.

So... Now you guys are ready to re-react to Ghost Love Score? :) ehehe

Finally!!! ANOTHER Nightwish reaction!!!! yay

Toronto concert! Glad you got to go. Floor, Marko and Emppu sitting with Kai, special atmosphere. Troy appeared at the end getting ready for the next song. I didn't notice any weird instruments...

This is such a great song! But yeah, glad to hear that you are going to do Greatest Show On Earth later, it's definitely one of my fav songs ever written.

I would recommend Dreamflight by After Forever at ProgPower USA 2007. After Forever was Floor's first band and in this particular song, Floor has a beautiful solo part that I think you will love.

Seeing as you froze to Floor's voice at 5 minutes or so, I think it's time for you to check another mighty Dutch sympho gothic metal band - Within Temptation. Ice Queen or Stand My Ground from Black Symphony DVD (Live in Rotterdam 2008)! I would say that Nightwish, Epica and Within Temptation make up the big 3 of the genre (even though Epica is a lot younger). The vocalist of Within Temptation, Sharon den Adel is easily one of the most magnetic female singers and live performers in metal.

Hey guys. This was the second last song. They ended with Ghost Love Score at your concert :) And gosh, is she ever beautiful

Epic, now i can die happy !!!!!!!

Tuomas wrote this song about himself, after Tarja left the band. He fell in deep depression and he didn't know, how about the future of Nightwish. When Tuomas wrote the first Nightwish album Dark Passion Play after Tarja's left, the band there had not singer. This album, Dark Passion Play literally saved Tuomas' life, it's because this album is the darkest, heaviest one from Nightwish. There in this album the heaviest song of Nightwish story Master Passion Greed. Tuomas dedicated this song to Tarja's husband, whom Tuomas blamed for Tarja's left. They never played in concert this song, but it could be very strong live performance. Highly recommended song for you guys! Here's the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYdrsNSJfs2nc6w.html

Robert Lundkvist do you really believe everything they said? They were so much of cowards that couldn't even say that to her face. And did the same to Anette when she was pregnant and ill in a hospital in the US. They just e-mailed her telling she was out and called Floor to sing with them. I don't give them any trust at all after this. I don't believe that Tarja was not guilty because she talked about all the fights they had and about how they treated the singers. They were cursing her at the studio at the Oceanborn recordings and they made her record the vocals without her approval. And many many problems after that om touring and etc. And they did it again. Tarja was the face and the fame of the band. They worked well on a fairytale of lies so her image would be damaged with the departure, and not theirs. They were an awesome band with a unique sound and feeling that time. It's a pity that everything went like this... :(

This is a poetical musical and a storytelling of hard times of Tuomas having five sections of different moods and moments. One not only wonders the pain of Tuomas but the way how he puts all together. And yes they also "act" it well.

I wish I could take their music with me at night into my dreams

Thank you for playing this. One of my favourite NW songs and what a performance, especially Floor hauntingly singing the parts originally sung by a choir boy. I know I keep asking but PLEASE play Yours Is An Empty Hope next. It is darker, moodier and something a bit atypical for Nightwish so provides some contrast for NW Sunday! Floor growls a bit in it!

I know this is an older video, but I just watched it and totally understand where you're coming from Pedro. Live performances can make/break a band for sure! I saw Epica rather incidentally last year (I only went to see one of the opening acts) and I was not into Symphonic Metal at all. I had listened to some of their tracks on Spotify since I was going to the show, and honestly I wasn't that impressed with the studio stuff. After Myrkur played we figured we'd have a drink and check out a few Epica songs before heading out early to beat traffic... but we ended up staying for the whole show because they are a fucking amazing live band! Now, I'm a fan... and I'm also much more open-minded about the genre as well.
