This song is just a KILLER!!! I mean the tempo, the different melodies but especially the primary melodic phrases, everything about this song is brilliantly conceived and executed by the band and especially by Floor. I have to say a special thanks to Tuomas and the band for bringing Floor into the band and making her feel so welcome as she said in at least one of her interviews.
Matthew Dickinson Its true. Tarja was a bit sloppy. Floor is very careful how she sings. Despite this her accent is still pretty strong when she is talking but its cute :D
+Remy van Tol Floor has what I would call an American midwestern accent...a Chicago accent if you will. And no I don't hear much of a Dutch accent either. She's obviously been speaking English practically all her life and has been speaking with Americans for many years.
I loved Tarja's voice... Anette - nothing special... But - when I heard this... When I heard Floor... O my god... I'm so impressed, fantastic!! Such an energy, emotions... Lost my mind... She rocks!!!! Can't wait for the new album... :D
Floor blew me away at 3:40 onward with that operatic singing...i guess you could say i was "floored"... seriously took my breath away. Nightwish has made a good decision.
I remember this was the first time I ever heard Floor Jansen. She has definitely been.my favourite live Nightwish vocalist ever since. Can't wait to see what a Nightwish album with her will bring, with Tuomas' genius mind and lyrics paired with Floor's truth and emotion in her vocals; I see a winning combination here and a #1 album at least internationally
Well, too many people here in the States have been brainwashed into pathetic music. Not sure Nightwish will ever get popular on the radio here. I've been listening to them for years, but never heard any of their songs on the radio. It's sickening.
I just don't understand all the shallow music people here like. I guess shallow music for shallow people. Nightwish is probably the best group in music today.
When I was younger Nightwish was all I listened to. Probably more then ten years ago. I never noticed that Nightwish actually helped me come up with my story and character names. Thank you nightwish!
Magic. As simple is that. Never really cared to listen to Imagenarium until now - this song along with "I Want My Tears Back" have no energy on the album whatsoever but here they're completely badass and energetic. Floor has got to be the best thing that has happened to Nightwish since the day Tuomas started the whole thing. And maybe they should do some new studio versions of the songs from Imagenarium that deserves a second chance. For instance this one, :D
Wow! Both Tarja and Anette brought some great things to Nightwish, but Floor is able to Capture Anette's energy and Tarja's Power and Presence simultaneously. She performs songs that debuted under both previous singers very well. Quite excited for this groups trip to Cleveland next April.
Time ago an amazing band born, make Gods happy and bring amazing music to insignificant humans, then was broke, but Gods not happy with this results, send a Goddess to us, and repaired what was broken.
"I am the voice of Never-Never-Land.The innocence, the dreams of every man.I am the empty crib of Peter Pan.A silent kite against the blue, blue sky,Every chimney, every moonlit sight.I am the story that will read you real.Every memory that you hold dear..." :)
Finally, after following Nightwish all the way from the beginning, they have a singer they truly deserve. All the credit to Tarja and Anette, both we're amazing on their own way, but right now, watching Floor and the band doing a live show, is like watching a goddess of battle pounding down the demonic army = sends shivers down my spine everytime
At first I said I wouldn't listen to Nightwish anymore when Floor came. Then I heard this song this week... and I can't stop listening, she have a perfect fucking voice!
It's nice to see Floor has given the other band members their energy back and they seem to enjoy performing with one another. Tuomas hasn't looked this happy on stage in a while
Storytime is a happy song and Floor is so good at singing it. It's a difficult song to sing as well because of the fast tempo and the melody with its deep interval jumps. I take my hat off to Tuomas he can really write great songs!
Here yes. When the occasion calls for it she can growl like she is possessed. 1st time I heard her growling on stage I actually made a little puddle by my feet. She makes James Hetfield sound like a pussy :P
I LOVE FLOOR she has an amazing voice, i love what Tarja and Anette did for the band but they have changed seroiusly and took it to another level with Floor... Love it...
I have seen Nightwish perform in Amsterdam with Anette and seen Floor perform with her former band AfterForever in Groningen. Tuomas is a genius in writing Nithwishsongs to the capacity of their leadsinger. I can only imagine what the first Nightwish Floor album will bring. I'm already looking forward to it. Hopefully with metal and operavocals in 1 song. I know Floor is capable to do so.

Даже больше... У Тарьи была мощь, но не было огня, у Анетт был огонь, но силы в голосе мало было, а у Флор есть и мощь, и огонь. Три небесных объекта им подобны: луна, далёкая звезда и яркое солнце.
affinxicity sdfs В верхние ноты точно не могла попасть никак... Вроде бы диапазон E3 - Bb5, ан вот всё, что выше E5, постоянно мимо кассы и вырождается в "петуха" типа "мартовский мяу, препротивный и зловредный мяу".
I paused at 0:09 and my husband said; "Those are man arms, there is no way that is a woman!" Haha, he is 6"2, has had jobs in lugging heavy stuff around his entire life and has muscles exactly the same size. Wtf Floor!? XD
She is(or was) a champion bodybuilder. I didn't follow her in that phase of her life so I don't know if she ever used steroids but if she didn't, her body is a great testament to her hard work in the gym.
This song is just a KILLER!!! I mean the tempo, the different melodies but especially the primary melodic phrases, everything about this song is brilliantly conceived and executed by the band and especially by Floor.
I have to say a special thanks to Tuomas and the band for bringing Floor into the band and making her feel so welcome as she said in at least one of her interviews.
I hope Nightwish keeps Floor Jansen for a very long time. The best singer they have had to date
+RainingBlood281 I wholeheartedly agree.
I can't say enough about Floor on this song she just KILLED IT. This was her breakout concert with Nightwish and she owned the stage.
Love Floor. Definitely the most versatile singer they've ever had. She's a badass, too. Amazing stage presence.
+Droogie128 I think this versatility is going to be of great use to Tuomas when creating other albums. :)
One of the best things about Floor? I can actually understand the lyrics when she sings them!
Matthew Dickinson Its true. Tarja was a bit sloppy. Floor is very careful how she sings. Despite this her accent is still pretty strong when she is talking but its cute :D
Hamster Munchies I guess dutch people have the most annoying accent when they talk English.. Being dutch myself I can know lol
I think you guys have the sexiest/cutest accent but from what I understand I'm one of the few, if not the only one who loves it.
IS that true ye? Shame on me for not speaking with a dutch accent haha.
+Remy van Tol Floor has what I would call an American midwestern accent...a Chicago accent if you will. And no I don't hear much of a Dutch accent either. She's obviously been speaking English practically all her life and has been speaking with Americans for many years.

buffmaloney So true! Nightwish is wildly popular everywhere but America. It's sad that we can't have their stuff on the radio.
I just don't understand all the shallow music people here like. I guess shallow music for shallow people. Nightwish is probably the best group in music today.
Search for After Forever (her previous band) and for ReVamp. She is a goddess, she has always been, and such a beautiful woman, from looks and heart.
Floor is definitely the best vocalist for Nightwish.
When I was younger Nightwish was all I listened to. Probably more then ten years ago. I never noticed that Nightwish actually helped me come up with my story and character names. Thank you nightwish!
she sings magical she headbangs like crazy she is beautifull what else to ask? i hope i can see them alive
That she is single? That is the only other thing I can think of that what most fans would hope for XD
She's married to Donockley.
Magic. As simple is that.
Never really cared to listen to Imagenarium until now - this song along with "I Want My Tears Back" have no energy on the album whatsoever but here they're completely badass and energetic.
Floor has got to be the best thing that has happened to Nightwish since the day Tuomas started the whole thing.
And maybe they should do some new studio versions of the songs from Imagenarium that deserves a second chance. For instance this one, :D
With Floor evry song sound better :)
Wow! Both Tarja and Anette brought some great things to Nightwish, but Floor is able to Capture Anette's energy and Tarja's Power and Presence simultaneously. She performs songs that debuted under both previous singers very well. Quite excited for this groups trip to Cleveland next April.
RandomRaven And Floor is capable of an amazing vocal versatility that Anette and Tarja both don't have...
She is the Best! What a powerfull voice!
I cannot fucking get over her stage presence. Damn.
Awsome!! I have recently discovered this band and there are no words. It is simply delicious to listen to this girl with this band and this music.
Truely an Amazing band and with floor on board they are freaking untouchable . Nightwish awesome video.
Time ago an amazing band born, make Gods happy and bring amazing music to insignificant humans, then was broke, but Gods not happy with this results, send a Goddess to us, and repaired what was broken.
when nightwish were with tarja thay were so serious. Now when im watching this I cant stop smiling :)
It's kinda funny, I gotta agree with that...
:0)
I was thinking the same !
Smile people don't be shy thats not bad thing at all...
The rest of the band had big smiles on as well
Commented on removed video that this feels like listening for the new album...I love that feeling!
"I am the voice of Never-Never-Land.The innocence, the dreams of every man.I am the empty crib of Peter Pan.A silent kite against the blue, blue sky,Every chimney, every moonlit sight.I am the story that will read you real.Every memory that you hold dear..." :)
This is the rebirth of a legendary band
WOW. Nightwish acquires the proper dimension with Floor. One of the best singers I've ever heard in my entire life. She can do anything.
Gracias Dios por que todavía existan grupos como los NIGHTWISH
Beautiful high tone voice....
Music doesn't get much better than this the band put everything into their performance
Finally, after following Nightwish all the way from the beginning, they have a singer they truly deserve. All the credit to Tarja and Anette, both we're amazing on their own way, but right now, watching Floor and the band doing a live show, is like watching a goddess of battle pounding down the demonic army = sends shivers down my spine everytime
No words, no dreams, then MONDAY ! ;-)
Gotta love the extra 200 horsepowers Floor brings to this song, can't wait for my bluray to arrive !
Seeing Floor headbanging is just the icing on the cake. Loving everything!!
At first I said I wouldn't listen to Nightwish anymore when Floor came.
Then I heard this song this week... and I can't stop listening, she have a perfect fucking voice!
brilliant
Wonderful song ! Very good with anette`s voice , but with floor`s voice became so powerful ... goddess !! :)
I love at 4:31 when Emppu has a smile on his face. Joy for the love of the music. Yesssss!
It's nice to see Floor has given the other band members their energy back and they seem to enjoy performing with one another. Tuomas hasn't looked this happy on stage in a while
Storytime is a happy song and Floor is so good at singing it. It's a difficult song to sing as well because of the fast tempo and the melody with its deep interval jumps.
I take my hat off to Tuomas he can really write great songs!
I really adore Floor's voice - it sounds like a fusion of pop- and classical-vocalstyles.
Here yes. When the occasion calls for it she can growl like she is possessed. 1st time I heard her growling on stage I actually made a little puddle by my feet. She makes James Hetfield sound like a pussy :P
Jackie Evancho calls it "popssical"
two epic bands just merged into one superb one...
wooooooooow !!!!!!!! feel the magic throughout the concert is great !!!!!!!!!
I LOVE FLOOR she has an amazing voice, i love what Tarja and Anette did for the band but they have changed seroiusly and took it to another level with Floor... Love it...
waken 2013 straight up rocks.
Been there,god that was one beast show.
FLOOR IS PERFECT!
τέλειο τραγούδι ,μουσική και φωνή!!!
Jukka is really energetic behing the drums, very satisfying to watch him drum.
3:40 god, I wasn't expecting that. She totally killed it.
I love this song so much I like the part when she says within a snow flake on its paw
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG CANT WAIT TO SEE THE WHOLE THING
I love this song :D

Thank you so much for uploading this! Can't wait to have this DVD on my hands. BTW, WoW rocks too! n_n
It was the night before,
When all through the world,
No words, no dreams
Then one day,
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the journey,
I am the destination,
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night,
The elusive high
Follow the madness,
Alice, you know once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium
Caress the tales and
They will dream you real
A storyteller's game,
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another earth
Innocence, innocence, dreams of every man, ah-ah
Every man innocent, every man, Peter Pan
Innocence, innocence, dreams of every man
Every man innocent, every man, Peter Pan
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of never, never land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear

From Nuclear blast's channel. It was unlisted video then set to private
Fuc#ing amazing. Love Floor
SHE'S PERFECT!!!! i hope she becomes their official front woman.!! she's magnificent.!!!!!!
сильная и красивая тётя.
Marco is such a fun guitarist
the guy on the battery is a really bad ass I love his attitude lol...
floor, stay with nightwish :DD
jesus, how does she recover from spinning her hair around and headbanging like crazy then sing two seconds later
Jesus..... I liked this song before and love Annette, but, Floor kicks it way up
Floorgasm...!
Floor ,,fantástica ...
ouuuuu fuck shes from After Forever shes in nightwish now :D ou great :D dafuq, finally some great singer after Tarja
Ever listen to a band called ReVamp? She's with them post AF too :)
VENEZUELA IT'S PRESENT AT WACKEEEEN!!!!!
Все вокалистки хороши! ИМХО последняя достойная замена Тарии
Даже больше... У Тарьи была мощь, но не было огня, у Анетт был огонь, но силы в голосе мало было, а у Флор есть и мощь, и огонь. Три небесных объекта им подобны: луна, далёкая звезда и яркое солнце.
Andrew Bolshakov Интересное сравнение. А впрочем верное)
Аннет не могла в ноты попадать на живых выступлениях. Огонь, да.
affinxicity sdfs В верхние ноты точно не могла попасть никак... Вроде бы диапазон E3 - Bb5, ан вот всё, что выше E5, постоянно мимо кассы и вырождается в "петуха" типа "мартовский мяу, препротивный и зловредный мяу".
I take everything back that i said against the new singer, she is AMAZING!!!
0:37 hair goals
Мне из всех там барабанщик нравится.. Чикки отрабатывает там за установкой на все 100%.
nightwish got sooo much better with floor!
3:39 OMG!!!!
Quel pied !!
I only listen to nightwish because of the new singer.she is as good as tarja
fucking awesome
I paused at 0:09 and my husband said; "Those are man arms, there is no way that is a woman!" Haha, he is 6"2, has had jobs in lugging heavy stuff around his entire life and has muscles exactly the same size. Wtf Floor!? XD
She is(or was) a champion bodybuilder. I didn't follow her in that phase of her life so I don't know if she ever used steroids but if she didn't, her body is a great testament to her hard work in the gym.
Floor is a touch over 6 foot which helps with owning the stage, add heels and she can dominate the band.
Imaginaerum is truly dedicated for Floor except The Crow The Owl and The Dove, I must say
Wacken, Germany
OF COURSE THEY'RE LAUGTHING, just a deaf or pop childs can't understand the master pece they are playing on that stage, fuck is just TOO damm good XD
It's definitely Story Time :>
GOSTEI DO LOOK DELA
yep. but when they deleted video I already have a copy)
i'm prefer if anette olzon as singer this song. :D
3:10 hardcore Nightwish fan
A fanominal band and woman...
