My CURE - 10 years ago my life was turned upside down overnight as I got very ill with menengitis. I didn´t know at the time, but after returning home from hospital I started my descent into darkness. Cognitive problems, anxiety, fatigue, dizziness persisted and started to become my everyday. There were periods I felt depressed, totally empty and my hope was fading. The worst was the guilt that I had in me for destroying the life I had once wanted for my family. I didn´t feel the beauty in life anymore. I was locked in a prison without walls. That was until I seen Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013. I somehow found myself watching it one day. I don´t know where it came from but it was like getting struck by lightning. I cried for the first time in nearly a decade. I couldn´t believe the beauty I felt. It was PURE BEAUTY. I watched it over and over... tears every time. Soon after, I watched this live version of Poet And The Pendulum. I felt so deeply connected to the lyrics. I felt it was written for me. I processed so much pain listening to Poet. I later called it my cure. 1.5yrs on and I´m enjoying my life again, I feel beauty in this world, I am so grateful for my chance to be alive and despite any issues of anxiety and fatigue that still plague me, it´s a wonderful life full of love. Nightwish changed it all for me. I will forever be grateful for Nightwish - the greatest gift to my soul

I can't believe Ive been a metalhead for 23 years, since I was 15. My brain only decided to catch up with everyone else and realise how utterly amazing Nightwish are around a year ago. I'm ashamed but also delighted 😊🎉

It's a thing like "Shoemaker"! An absolute masterpiece.

Everybody is so metalhead until they cry with this song...

То бы что не говорил, а Флор тоже её офигенно исполняет. Эта песня была первой мной услышанной и любовь с первого звука. ❤

It's so sad theres not a "superlike" button out there, I would have smashed it.

Long live metal.Wonderful journey, only tears and tears. Let's protect our planet.

I must also write my thoughts and emotions. I also comment Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013. I am a 42 year old male from Germany, who listen since about 1992 or 1993 to Metal. My first experience was Metallica - Black Album. It was awesome. As I wrote I come from Germany and English is therefore not my native language. I hope I can transfer my thoughts and emotions to you. We were about 5 friends end of the 1990's. Playing Computer games together, other board games and so on. We had a great time. We were listening at this time to Hammerfall and Rhapsody. But this suddenly change. About 2001 or 2002 one of us was at a Metall festival (not Wacken) and he met Nightwish. He was the first fan from us and bring it to us with some videos of this band. We took a look and we were flashed. WHAT?? A woman is singing? What a great voice...It was stunning. So we all become fans of this band. It was great music from great musicians with the mastermind at the keyboards. So we went with Nightwish through our lives. From now on I write only my opinion. I was really sad when I heard Tarja has left the band. I will not comment this decision. But I want to write, what I notice during live videos of the band. I don't know what it is exactly, but there was a difference in the stage performance of Tarja. It seems, that there was already a break between her and the band. I was very curious as I heard Nightwish had a new singer. Therefore I bought the Album Dark Passion Play. It is a great album with great tracks, the music is Nightwish, but the complete Album is it not. I will explain it better. The musicians were as always perfect, great tracks were written, but something was wrong..better different. It was the vocals from Anette. Don't get me wrong, she is a good singer, but she gives Nightwish a different style, it was with her vocals more to Pop (only my opinion). Don't understand me wrong. I heard the Album Dark Passion Play many, many, many times in my car. But for me it was Wishnight and not Nightwish. So I explain it to me. Then my interest in Nightwish was getting lower and lower. I don't hear anymore to them. So I don't recognize directly that there was the next change by the singer. I saw many houndred times now Ghost Love Score. Sometimes I also saw "The Poet and The Pendulum". My interest was born in this song. I was also listening to this song as I hear the album before, but I don't recognize the emotions in this song. Anyone knows the meaning of this song, so I don't want to say many words about this. Now after so many years after releasing the album with this track, I recognized what Tuomas want to say with this song. First of all: Kiitos Tuomas! This is a masterpiece. Worth to be mentioned with Beethovens 9. symphony as a example for humans music. It is hard for me not to cry during this track. Also and I think this is more important for me. Dank u wel! @Floor Jansen You bring back my love for listening to Nightwish. Also you show me how wonderful this song is. How Floor sing this song, this brings me always goosebums. Right in the beginning, when Floor pronounce "torn" and "christ" a little bit different. Wow! This brings shivers to me. Also after Marko's part, when Floor sing..."spitting on his grave as they came" Oh my god! This is emotion pure for me. And then the last part "Mother and Father". I can really imagine, how Tuomas and his parents sit in Finland (I think the parents lives there) in a wooden house before the fireplace during winter and Tuomas mother says this words to him. This brings me to tears. Thank you Floor for such many emotions during one song. I don't know what it is exactly, but Floor hits with her singing always a piece of my heart. My father died too early many years ago. I remembered during this track always on him. This makes me cry but also it makes me happy during the last part. I know, that this sentence is also something my father will spoken to me in such an situation.

I cannot listen to this song while driving. It takes me though the entire spectrum. It grabs me and takes me on an adventure to the point that I lose focus on the road.

One more time taking this emotional journey, its just so real and honest hart felt way to express pain and suffering in our troublesome lives!

I'm not surprised. Tuomas did say this song was something he had to write as a catharsis, a way for him to kill himself in a song so he didn't do it in real life. It's raw, deep and full of despair, self-hatred, anger and eventually acceptance. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the things he thought about when writing was the 5 stages of grief.

Tuomas is an absolute genius. The themes, the emotion, the orchestral, cinema-like sounds are just beyond any other musician I've ever heard.

Fourteen minutes long and still not long enough. An extraordinarily beautiful piece of music.

I cried, I felt the rage, I felt the longing and the torment. And in the end, I felt the saddened love. A master performance.

I am right in a bus right now, enjoying this after not listening to it for a long time, life is hard, Its suffocating me. And the end part where floor sings, in the end I will always love you. Brought every single emotion I have never let out and here I am in tears cause Nightwish is the only thing that comforts me in the hardest of times. Thank you, from all my heart.

Ghost love score, greatest show on earth, poet and the pendulum. The big three of Nightwish.

One thing that pops to mind every time i see this video, is the sheer amount of courage Tuomas must have, to perform such a personal song in front of so many people, he must be revisiting the pain again simply by doing this, and he is handling it insanely well, truly a inspiring person.

I never thought I would ever find a band I like more than Rammstein

From "3 minutes and counting" to "save me" just epic planning

Damn, I've seen some epic bands in my day - - but how, how, HOW does a band have so many EPIC songs in their repertoire? I would love to see Nightwish live just once before I die, but sadly, I do wish it would have been while Marko was still with the band. I pray, he's getting some of the peace his body & mind so badly longs for, God knows he & all of Nightwish deserve that.

Every single time I listen to this epic masterpiece of music, it brings me to tears. The fact that Tuomas still struggles with this song after all those years is heartbreaking.

The part where Marko and Emppu go next to Tuomas and play together is so...beautiful. Amazing. Brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely adorable and respectful! And Floor's voice is beyond angelic. Opus perfectum.

Yeah all 3 are masterpieces but gun to my head Poet is the the better of the 3. While those other 2 came from pure creativity and Tuomas' brilliant imagination, Poet came from somewhere deep, somewhere dark, a place few see.

Same. Back in 2007 some dude at my new job I said two words two brought me a burned CD he thought I'd like and I forgot about it for ages until my mini disk player died in my car one day and that CD was still in there and it just said "Nightwish". I popped it in and was greeted with Poet and the Pendulum. By the time I got to work I was looking for all their CDs to buy!

This is the one Nightwish "epic" which resonates with me on an extremely personal level. This is peak Nightwish for me.

BEST Nightwish song ever!!! After listening to this song you will raise your standard of quality and may leave you frustrated wanting always something at that level! But there are only ONE and unique The poet and the pendullum! Thanks Toumas!

It can be. Or it can be chronic. I think I was 11 when the idea first occured to me that the world might be better off without me in it. I am now 31, and fighting with everything I have not to be forced to rely on the system to catch me for a third time. After 20 years, you'd think the tears would have dried out. Apparently not. After so long, even with help, it's hard not to wonder if that desease might not be everything you are, after all. That thought isolates you slowly from everything you love...And the magic of this song is precisely that, for 13.56 minutes, the loneliness goes away for a bit. And, as much as you'd wish no one would ever have to feel like that, the relief of not being completely alone overrides the guilt of finding some solace in another person's pain.

@@EssenceOfTheSoul I agree. I think Tuomas is a master in describing emotions with music, but what I love about all of them is the way they DELIVER those emotions to us (especially Floor!😍). It seems they are playing our souls instead of their instruments... Yes, we all are really different from each others, unique in our own way on the outside, but inside we all feel the same love, fear, sorrow, loss, hatred, joy, excitement, happiness and so on...

Marko had so much range in his voice!! He could go from soft and sweet to aggressive and chaotic just like that.

This song makes me angry, then hyper manic, then a peace, then filled with the most beautiful calm I have ever felt!.......unmatched Songwriting & performance by any band in the world.!!!!!

"Sparkle my scenery, with turquoise waterfall, with beauty underneath - the ever free." When Floor hits those high notes, it pulls out a sound in me almost like a whimper.

i have to admit i shed a tear every time i hear this, such a bittersweet performance.

As close to perfection as you can get…ALL of it…the words, the feeling, the visual, the artistry, the vocal the teamwork. Tears. I love this group, love their ethics, courage, talent…but moreover the tonic they provide to us. My deepest thanks for being and continuing to raise our lives to your world.

a dark song, but my all time favourite from Nightwish
