I love demos. So often the first songs are the ones that have been in composer's mind the longest. Then the music for later albums have had only couple of years of time to form. And usually, since the demo is so good, there are marketing pressures and all that shit for the next album.
What i found more interest is that the first demo they recorded is not Metal, dont have distorted guitars, so technically they didn't start as a Metal Band. But it is beautiful.
Yep, they never supposed to be metal band, and they never supposed to do any albums. Definitely never supposed to make any tours. Just acoustic mood music. Things changed pretty fast, because Tarja's voice was too powerful, and Tuomas started to write bigger songs.
This is so special. It feels like I´m gazing back in time through the hubble deep field photograph, experiencing the wonder of the deep universe for the first time.
I just have to tell what I wrote in new years eve in some The Greatest Show On Earth reaction. My last lines... Then couple days after you mentioned Nightwish demo... My last lines of that long comment was: Nightwish = pure emotions and genious music and talent beyond this world. And think about it, they came from deepest forests and shores of thousands lakes, friendship and campfire. And what they has given to us!! Mindblowingly beautiful... Then you mentioned this demo, I got chills. Just couple days before I was thinking Tuomas, Emppu, Tarja and Jukka sitting in campfire and wondering their music. It is just crazy how our thoughts are so similar and timing!
@@reeilona I have noticed this as well. Every time I see your comments I just have this strong feeling to give you time and respect for every single word you write. It´s hard to describe but in a way I think of you as Nightwish. Sharing my love of Nightwish with you makes this whole experience all encompassing. You are a deep soul with so much love. I feel very lucky to share this with you and honoured to be a friend.
wow! I have not heard this in many years. A friend of mine had it sent to him by Sentinel Steel records back when it first came out to check out. LOL was in my 20's then, thank you for posting a great memory of where my love for this band began.
yes indeeD they were soo young,i still owe them gratitude for all their masterpieces Poet&Pendullum,Song of Myself,Endless Forms Most Beutiful(Live 2018 Wacken open),and sooo much more..miss u Tarja soo soo much,love u Floor for your black metal heart..love u Anette for those 2 Amazing albums... FOREVER NIGHTWISH
Amava ouvir essa demo quando adolescente (15/16 anos) , eram outros tempos, ouvia sempre no porão, deitada em um colchão com as velas acesas , só estando ali para saber o quanto aquilo foi especial para mim na época ! Sinto falta de tudo daquela época , mas a vida tomou seu rumo e não dá mais para voltar atrás . Vida que segue , hoje com 24 anos , as coisas mudaram completamente ... mas escutar me traz boas lembranças
eu tinha essa mesma idade quando ouvi essa demo,tambem acabo lembrando daqueles anos,bate uma sensação tão boa,da vontade de voltar mesmo,era tudo melhor pra mim tambem, mas fazer o que né, a gente cresce e a vida fica toda cagada. Hoje to com 26.
Wow. I find that in some NW songs Tarja's powerful voice is great and in others it is incredibly shrill and irritating. She sounds angelic with this style of music.
Yes that's the reason why I prefer Floor, the versatility are Floors greatest feature and in Nightwish this match are just perfect since Toumas write a huge variation of genres and styles. But both Tarja and Anette have their own styles of singing and as long as the material are suited for them they both sound incredible. I mean Tarjas own project, almost everything she does sound great. Anette also sound incredible on material which suits her, she also sound great with Alyson Avenue. I never really compared them tbh. Anette, Tarja and Floor are all incredible in their own ways.
@@eslwgpg1226In my opinion her voice sounds too heavy sometimes, it sounds as if she was putting huge effort into it. Some other singers sing effortlessly. Just listen to Tristania. Vibeke's voice perfectly suits the music, it's not too heavy and not too weak. And she has a more pleasant voice tone. At least that's how I see it.
There's one line I can't hear properly but otherwise it goes along the lines " in the freeze nights the fire dances over arctic hills .. i can feel it the call of northern maids of Lapland." Two years late and not word by word
@@ruma9687 I think he's speaking a poem: "Pakkasyössä tunturten, tanssii tulet leiskuen, elo ammoin mennyt on, tunnen sen, kutsun pohjan neitojen, yllä Lapin." I think this has been created by Holopainen because I cannot find similar passages elsewhere. I would translate it as "In the frozen nights of Lapland's montains, the sparkling fire [of aurealis borealis] dances, life [or lifehood] has already gone long time ago, I feel it, the call of Northern maids of Lapland." The word "elo" may refer to living (as opposed to death) or harvesting the crop or in this context, losing the crop due poor weather. And the word "ammoin" is a really old word that usually refers to long time as in ancient or a generation. And the "Norhern maids" are probably reference to Kalevala where such a term is used to refer daughter of the mistress of the north Louhi. For more information about Kalevala, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevala Another possible interpretation in this context might be a reference to Valkyrie but I think the poem would use some other expression but "pohjan neito" if this was the intented message.
First time I hear this, after all these years. Thank you!! Tuomas and Tarja made a very special connection. Is that Empu? he should do more acoustic stuff today.
Kali I think its original played by Thomas, but still want that melodie in full version. Its just Apper in Nightwish - Nightwish 1996 Demo, i didnt find it anywhere else...
Nowdays you can listen these on Nightwish official channel: th-cam.com/video/wCyjkCbPzA4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5-4lDYasrV4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/tNuGI46IW6s/w-d-xo.html And if you want a local copies, search for `youtube-dl` command line program.
ohh big Mistake..i have thougt that i know all od NW..big Mistake..this Is new for mě And from 1st Yellow point Is so deep misterios for me..great..like without discouse..
please somebody help , from 9.10 to 9.30 is a part of some classic music but I cannt remmeber what is it ,is anyone know please help bdw I m realy mad about this song
not sure about the wind part, but the keyboard piece became the intro to "Beauty and The Beast", from the Angels Fall First album. Maybe you heard it there. As far as classical tunes, I'm not too sure.
thank you very much for this posting ...and i for the First time hear this great demo ...but tell me if you know something .. almmost in the beginning or especially at the end about in 13,00 minutes i hear the instrument who we call -bouzouki -an organ who reminds a kind of guitar i ask this because i am from GREECE and we have this kind of music , thats why ..anyway this is a great demo i love it already
XD. Oh where to start. Is your question if you hear what you THINK you hear or what (?). You cannot even write properly so that explains too about you as a person. Also there is no "we have this kind of music" in connection with Hellas. Yes the so-called "turkougyftika bouzoukia clubs" came with the turk-seeds Minor Asians that fled to Hellas the last century. The instrument bouzouki ALSO came with them, its not Hellenic. Nevertheless it actually sounds in good in some cases (like DCD and Cruachan for example), however you cannot even tell the difference between an acoustic guitar and bouzouki though XD.
@@annisaurus I think this kind of questioning is rather normal, since Floor is the current Nightwish singer and has a nice voice that fits these type of music very well. Don't get me wrong. I love Tarja and also Floor. :)
Sorry, try just messaging me your Gmail through YT privately. My hangouts bar is acting very slow and won't show the message. I'll send you the EP asap...
So Tuomas composed this when he was 19/20 yo. That's really impressive.
How awesome music already in 1996 when they were hardly adults. Only Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu.
The first release of the greatest composer. Outstanding then and now.
A passion for the inner beauty of the purest wildlife and music inside the whole universe. That was NW. Tarja made it real for us !
So this is where the legend started. Wonderful! Thank you!
I'm glad I'vee started to look for the old demos of all my favorite band (including Nightwish). Demos are beautiful!!! (in general)

Listen to "The Carpenter" and work out what type of group they had considered being!
This is so special. It feels like I´m gazing back in time through the hubble deep field photograph, experiencing the wonder of the deep universe for the first time.
That is perfect description, I love that

The piano solo at the end of the first song is soul reading.
The beginning of the song Nightwish....you can hear Tuomas' influence by new age music and Vangelis.
There is a song called "Nightwish" by Nightwish!!!! How did I not know about this! Mind Blown!
Actually the song came before the band's name, haha.
Tuomas' essence. Simpler times...

Can someone tell me name of melodie on 7:50 or its original by Nightwish. Thanks. ^^
I pretty sure the melody is the same as their song Beauty And The Beast, just a little slower.
