@@tinkeli4055 I still have some hope for he coming back, although i maybe shouldn't. He has always been my favourite from all of them, and it's hard to think NW without him. I still respect his decission, I'm sure it was best for him...
Marco was my favorite Nightwish member. It always felt like he was the pillar that supported the rest of the band. Sure, Tuomas wrote the songs, Floor, Anette or Tarja fronted the band with majestic vocals, Emppu and Jukka/Kai were gods on the guitar and the drums respectively... but amidst it all there was always Marco, standing there and strumming his bass, providing the backbone to each track and his vocals perfectly accentuating the female leads. And it seemed like he would always be there. At the end of the day I think he was the most important member of Nightwish save for Tuomas. Couldn't imagine the band going on without him, and apparently, according to some interviews, neither could Tuomas or Emppu at first. I'm glad they decided to go on, because Nightwish surely has more music magnificence to offer the world, but it will be tough seeing the live performances without everyone's favorite blonde viking playing that bass.
Well said! To me the best of Nightwish has always been Marko. I’m glad that they decided to continue because it’s the bread and butter for many people and now they have Floor who is exceptional. What a voice and presence! There’s nothing wrong with the current NW setup, they are a world class crew. Still, I love Marko the most, his voice just goes straight to my heart.
I totally agree - Tuomas is the mastermind, the genius behind Nightwish, Floor ist the face and the voice, but Marco was the heart. Miss him more than I can express in words 😢🤘
Floor and Marco hitting that chorus together is one of those things you feel your entire body and mind react to, even just watching it on TH-cam. This is his song. I hope Marco is doing better, and he has my best wishes for his retirement. Sad as it is having him leave, that's only a testament to how important he is to this band and how great the music they made with him is.
Who is here crying because Marco is leaving? Of course , it's sad, but i really wish him all the best . My journey in Nightwish music began with him and he will always be a part of it, even if he's not in the band any more♥♥♥ Dear Marko, take care , I send you all my love and support
I am... I never have been to Nightwish concerts, always thinking there is time. I did not cry after Taria - I liked her voice on records, on concerts not so much. But Marco??!! I cry and I cry and I cry. But still, of course I respect his decision, I do hope he will find new paths and in general get better. It is sad that such a wonderful guy, who "has everything" one could think, struggles so much.
This song has everything: very harmonically rich guitar part, so poetical lyrics and wonderful melody. His voice fits perfectly for this song and he sings it so well... Bravo!
This song reminds me of when I was a kid. The gypsys would come stay out at my grandparents farm down on the river for about 3 months. They would have about 20 wagons in a circle around the bonfire. All of my cousins & I would lay under the wagons everynight & listen to the music & watch them dance all night long.
Marco, thank you for this song... I have a special playlisy, called "epic" where I collect my favourite songs. I'm 42 yo, and there is ony 4 songs on this list... and this is one of them!!! ❤
He doesn't belong to NW, he has his own band Tarot and solo career as many other capabilities and side projects. Marko he's a complete musician and NW without Marko, is just a band. First Tarja, then Anette, now Marko. Who's next that will leave (or probably fired by a public letter, lol, so pathetic) the egocentric keyboardist behind for being bitchy pretending that he's a star? Floor? Is she leaves, well, NW would be dead, forever and ever, hahaha. Well, honestly I think that the name of the band should be "the Egocentric Keyboardist who thinks that he's the new Mozart and the band" 😂😂😂 Btw, before someone say that he's a great composer, ha, just take a look on Tobias Sammet work with Avantasia. Even Marko joined a song with them. I don't need to say more, 😂😂😂
@@d.h.6138 There was some drama with Tuomas and Tarja back in the day, but I wouldn't read too much into it. Nothing to do with Marco leaving. He had his own reasons.
I can't believe this band has been around since 1996, released 9 albums and only sold 9 million records world wide! They should've sold at least upwards 25-30 million considering the quality of the music which is epic! I'm from Sweden and fucking Europe has sold 25 million albums :O
Dead on. Have said similar things many times. When Marko was with Nightwish, he was duetting with one of the greatest vocalists to ever walk the planet. And he never once came off second best.
Marco is a bassist, a singer, a performer. He is so good at all. His presence on stage is huge. Nightwish with both Floor and Marco on stage are probably the best live metal band. Having experienced Pinkpop 2022 and mainly, Hellfest 2022, we all know now that Nightwish can still do amazing shows. The music is always great, Tuomas, Emppu, Kai, Troy are still top musicians and Jukka is a perfect bassist. Floor is really awesome performing, her vocals, energy, contact with audiences are the best ever. Shoemaker and Ad Astra outro are incredible. This band is still amazing live. But, with Marco on stage they are THE best live band.
Заслушался так, что забыл вначале поставить палец вверх) исправил)) и ещё, исходя из того что Марко великолепно пел дуэтом с Тарьей и также великолепно поет с Флор , то несомненно это заслуга Марко , браво!
It's extremely sad to hear that Marco is leaving Nightwish... Don't know who can replays such a legend. But we have to understand his decision. Good news is that we can still enjoy ourselves listening to this absolutely stunning song....
One of the things I love about Marco is that against someone as amazing as Floor he can more than hold his own. The entire band is made up of immensely talented people who are legends in their own right, and who unite together to make something truly incredible.
I'm sad to have never seen them live, I was hoping to do so the very next chance I got. I still will but it will be missing something without him. He was a huge part of why nightwish has been so special to me. We'll miss you Marco but we wish you all the best
Me neither, in fact I've never been to any concert in my life so I was hoping they would be my first. When they had announced the virtual show, I bought my ticket because this was better than nothing. Now it won't feel the same and maybe Troy will be the one to sing Endlessness. It would be cool if at the virtual event he sent a video message for us or at least maybe just play Endlessness.
Despite all the lead singers, Marco has always been my favourite. Tarot or Nightwish, his voice just has that something. Having Floor as a back up vocalist just tells something. I´ve had the privilidge to see them live and it was awesome. A man and a guitar with 20 000 people, that sums it it up quite well. How many people can you really put in that situation. Keep well and hold your colours high!
This is my favorite song ever. The second it starts, in my mind I’m on an old wooden ship in the middle of the ocean, the storm and waves playing with the vessel like a ball, seagulls spitting on my head.... it’s amazing
His face when the whole band joins the song... bro... that happyness, that smile full of joy when you know you're enjoying what you do... I hope he found that same joy and fufillment in his life now that he is taking some time off. Other than that, hope from my heart that his life keep going up and awesome for him! Thank you for saving our lives Mr. Hietala (at least for me this songs, this band was a huge deal of help in my most darkest days), thank you!
An old man by a seashore At the end of day Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flying Making him daydream The time before he became One of the world`s unseen Princess in the tower Children in the fields Life gave him it all: An island of the universe Now his love`s a memory A ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water Seabed far below Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago So long ago So long ago This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind so long ago So long ago
Amazing song .Marko is a great musisian and singer too. lam very sad for his disision but life is like a ship and Nightwish have a lot of journeys to do.
If ever a band deserved to find the fountain of youth, never grow old, and make music for all time... it would be this lineup of Nightwish. They've found their perfect blend, and to hear the band speak in interviews, they would do it forever if they could.
I love all these guys together and Marco is such a sweetheart. He's such a treasure to have and I love this song because he gets to showcase his stellar voice and his stage presence. I've been following NW since their first album and they age like a fine wine. They just keep getting better and suprising me. 💙💙
@@henkoosterhof5947 Geddy Lee and Mike Rutherford also played double-neck bass/guitar (both Rickenbacker, in my mind). It's rare, but I think there should be a serial model.
Thank you Marco. For sharing your hearth with us. May the world be as good to you as you have been to us. Wonderful memories that will inspire many forever. Now go do what you love, you deserved it,
@@matthewmac5787 Thanks for setting me straight Matthew. I'm glad to hear he didn't transition yet. I'm very impressed by him. I deal with severe depression and anxiety. I am also plagued by PTSD as iceing on the crap cake. I wish him ALL THE Best! I have an MRI today that I have been begging for. I want to rule out any physiological anomalies that may be contributing to my conditions, especially since 2018.
I'm teary eyed. That was so beautiful. As a guitarist for 22 years, medievil-sounding music is something I definitely enjoy. Although I don't like Nightwish (well, I've never really listened that much to them), this was enchanting. And I love his cleft beard. Like a true viking.
i'll miss him but honestly, he was with the band for 20 years which is longer than many bands even last and i completely understand that he wants to move on. his wife and kids come first, after all.
Every night Nightwish takes the stage Marco goes toe to toe with one of the most powerful and versatile vocalists to ever walk the planet. And he never once comes off second best. Enough said.
2021 is now sucking like 2020 but Marko is a human being before an entertainer and my thoughts, prayers and best wishes to him for whats going on. He like all of the members are what drew me to this band. Im hooked into the Nighwish Army and Marko is part of what got me enlisted. Best wishes Marko.
@@damianantonioalvarezbarria5162 They're hugely famous there of course. It's natutral. But outside of Finland they can only book small-venue and festival shows. It's a shame.
I can listen to this song for a thousend times a day, still not bored... ;-) But there are more songs to enjoy , the Nightwish songs are all a piece of art. Respect for them all, what they do and made, and make!
this is just pure magic, this takes me to another dimension, it has a jethro tull touch, with all due respect NIGHTWISH is magic keep on rocking Hell yeaaaaa
I am from island country, The Islander, which is really of ocean, brought me in Nightwish. I thought I would meet Marco and listen to his singing of The Islander someday in the future. Afterwards...there is no Afterwards...I cried so long as the "horizon". 4:05 "This is for long-forgotten" makes me cry nowadays. Happy birthday and happy life after leaving. Farewell, the coastal singer in my dream!
I wish I could click the Like button every time I hear the song. I'm sure there would be a few hundred by now.
No more nightwish without you dude

The deepest cut I’ve ever felt from the musical industry world by far. Still hurts like I just found out.
Mr Hietala, you are missed from NW, a lot. Your voice, smile coy eyes, charisma and guitar playing.
This song is a genuine masterpiece.
So true ... Much as I love Floor and respect Tuomas - without Marco NW's heart is missing 😭
AMEN 🤩
Anyone here right after Marko left Nightwish? Or just me crying my eyes out... We're gonna miss you Marko!
Nope definitely not the only one. He will truly be missed

No one could ever replace Marco, his voice is so distinct, his musicianship unmatched... Godspeed Marco
Gone from the stage but never from our hearts. A legend forever who will, hopefully, return.

SIMPLESMENTE, DE UMA BELEZA INDESCRITÍVEL, ESSA MÚSICA.....
DÁ ARREPIOS OUVÍ-LA......
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
So long ago
So long ago
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
So long ago
Our hero right here
"With siemen on his face."
Sound like Marco speaking from experience!

A strong and excellent voice of metal. This music makes the world better!
Marco has always been my favorite Nightwish singer.
Mine too
Likewise. I completely agree.
Yeah he goes off lol
Butterfly
Even more so, since Floor joined the band. They can do so much together: truly harmonic!
Every night Nightwish takes the stage Marco goes toe to toe with one of the most powerful and versatile vocalists to ever walk the planet.
And he never once comes off second best.
Enough said.
Takes the edge off all basist jokes with one performance.
I was bassist, were you?
Except here he sang and played six strings 😂
Nightwish will never be the same. So shocked. Take care of yourself Marko and thanks for the memories!
"The other weasels doubled back and left me to entertain this crowd by myself." LOL I'M DYING!!
are you still alive or did you realy die?
he ded
RIP brother
can I join ?
@@lenasdreams1889 no
Marco. Love from 🇨🇦. Youre the reason I got into Nightwish in grade 11. About 15 years ago lol
Only Marko could have Floor as a backup singer! Nothing but love and support for him and the Nightwish Army!
2021 is now sucking like 2020 but Marko is a human being before an entertainer and my thoughts, prayers and best wishes to him for whats going on. He like all of the members are what drew me to this band. Im hooked into the Nighwish Army and Marko is part of what got me enlisted. Best wishes Marko.
Marco is like some kind of a Viking angel man. And, even Floor's vocals were a "backup" to Marco's vocals here.
Nightwish is seriously the greatest band the mainstream normies never heard of. It's a crime.
Well in finland Is a national treasure sou yes they there are mainstream xD
@@damianantonioalvarezbarria5162 They're hugely famous there of course. It's natutral. But outside of Finland they can only book small-venue and festival shows. It's a shame.
Do we really want the normies outside of Finland to discover this
They would ruin it
He doesn't even need autotune. His voice is perfect.
When a musician truly proves his or her worth. Just playing. No bullshit, just playing.
Who else came here today to listen to this on repeat and get depressed? Cause I've been listening all fucking day
I can listen to this song for a thousend times a day, still not bored... ;-) But there are more songs to enjoy , the Nightwish songs are all a piece of art. Respect for them all, what they do and made, and make!
This band is finally complete. For years it was far far from perfect, but now, this is finally a DIAMOND.
I love Marco'! One of the best voices in Metal World. Everything he does he do it with so much passion.
this is just pure magic, this takes me to another dimension, it has a jethro tull touch, with all due respect NIGHTWISH is magic keep on rocking Hell yeaaaaa
This is the first Nightwish song I have ever heard. Absolutely amazing!!! I'm hooked!!!!!
Watching this again. I can't believe he left the band.
So many people overlook Marco. Dude's got one hell of a versatile voice. I love his clean singing
I just love how they all shine even just by themselves... This group is truly mesmerizing, I love Nightwish!
Marco`s voice is brilliant. One of the best point of the Nightwish`s shows.
What a blissful song. I have totally fallen for Nightwish.
Wellcome home buddy, you have a BEAUTIFUL road ahead of you...
Just brilliant. What a great guy Marko is.
Even I will like my own comment. Love this man. Character and talent- and seems a really nice guy. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am from island country, The Islander, which is really of ocean, brought me in Nightwish. I thought I would meet Marco and listen to his singing of The Islander someday in the future. Afterwards...there is no Afterwards...I cried so long as the "horizon".
4:05 "This is for long-forgotten" makes me cry nowadays.
Happy birthday and happy life after leaving. Farewell, the coastal singer in my dream!
And Floor is humble enough to do back vocals,and even like that add soo much to the song...
Imádom, ahogy beszél finnül. Magyar vagyok, nagyon szeretem a finn és az észt nyelvet
Le tudod fordítani, hogy mit mond a második felében kérlek? Az első fele feliratozva van, de a második valamiért kimaradt.. :(
@@KekPafrany én csak szeretem ezt a két nyelvet, de nem tudom beszélni illetve nem is értem 😁
@@zsp1995 Kár :3
Mondjuk ha tetszik, szerintem érdemes belevágnod a tanulásukba. Bármikor jól jöhet, pl. egy munkalehetőség kapcsán.
Absolut the best band. Floor as a background singer and the bassist of the band rocking the stage beautifully! Unbelievable
