If i was there i would climb the stage and yell "stop talking, can't you see something epic is going on!?" She nailed it, this is one of the most beautiful and touching live performances i've ever seen!
Magnificent live version, I love so much this song, exhilarating melody and Anette's performance, perfect ending. Anette, you are amazing, I've missed you in Nightwish my dear, very good job of Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester orchestra!
i loved Anette ever since the first time i saw and heard her, she's pretty, she has an angelic voice and sings so well and she's also a great person in general.
Anette has never been a bad singer. She's VERY good. Lyrical singing doesn't make you better than contemporary singers (Tarja is by no means better than contemporary singers and she's not the best opera singer). Certain high notes that Tarja sang are EASIER to reach with operatic voice than with contemporary voice. The fact that Anette hit them using belting voice makes her AMAZINGLY GOOD. That's the detail all people forget, because they are not professional singers.
I'm just about one of the biggest Floor Jansen fans on the planet. I have albums, merchandise, and am even a major figure in many Floor Jansen fan clubs.... that being said... This⬆ is the best Nightwish song, and Anette's performance of it could never be replaced.
3:19 the face of the blond girl in the back, its the same face that I put when I'm listening anette's voice!!!! I love her with all my heart, she is amazing and so underrated metal queen!!! 😍🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
It's a year ago since I saw this video the last time and I remembered having the chills and goose bumps in the end of it. As it turns out: it's still the case! This is the best recording of meadows of heaven (well, obviously not sound-wise) which has ever been made. Anette is outdoing herself and singing even better than she did at the homecomming concert at the Hartwall Arene of Helsinki. Well done and can't wait to hear the new album!
I think she did great, her voice is really amazing in these kind of songs. And I think she looks gorgeous! Thank you for posting this, this performance is beautiful!
Wow Anette has improved her voice a lot! This is a very beautful song and I read somewhere that NW weren't going to play this song live... Love this song ♥
couple of years passed. Anette Olzon not. thank you for recording and publishing. I'm coming back every month. it's Xmas so I'm coming back everyday. thx.
Fast upload I see... WOW!! she did the very last part WONDERFULLY!! it's like the original song. She's impressed me once again, and I'm even more surprised about she singing that song specially. Hopefully I can get the chance to hear it one day too... Thanks so much for sharing it, amazing quality btw. =)
This is absolutely awesome performance by Anette.I hope we gonna hear this song same way in the future but of course with the whole band Nightwish and with the strong metal sounds.
One of Rarest ocassion when it is singed with an orchestra,it is sooo purifying,Dark Passion Play on its RIPE!!!Anette is magical(nice legs too he heee)
People need to quit comparing! Anette is very good in the songs that were composed for her,and I would think that she would have co created them too.Every voice has its own unique character and place.Take it for what it is then you won't feel divided inside instead of leaving pointless comments! Leave Nightwish be,leave Tarja be each going through their own growth and everything is part of that.None of you ever remain with one thing forever so WHY should they?!!
Hahaha i'm from Mexico so i won't go to the show at Hartwaal areena? I saw Nightwish on 2008 (best day of my life) in San Diego, i even met Marco, it's been more than a year and i still can't believe it haha! And i met Nw two months after the break with Tarja and i became a huge fan so it was very heartbreaking not to have the chance of seeing the band in their old era :( hahaha! But i still have no regrets!:D
Everybody saying she can't sing should listen to this. Yes, she isn't Tarja. But that doesn't mean she's bad. Just different (and not in the euphemistic way).
@analikewhoa1 This concert which Anette's performance was a part of, was called "Suomi Safari", with many more or less famous Finnish artists. So there were definitely many Finns listening to this, that's why she said Kiitos. :))

Simply Amazing!! Anette proves she is an extraordinary singer who sings with feeling. Otherwise, never a sensational musician like Tuomas would have chosen a typical show-off singer to surround his compositions.. Tarja is an amazing and extremely skillful singer, but I'd rather her not be showing-off in live concerts especially, cause noone's touched if the artist doesn't FEEL the song onstage.
Because people are not vocalists themselves, certain notes that Anette makes sound SO EASY, are actually extremely hard to reach, but they sound easy because of the correct collocation of the sound. Anette is actually one of the few singers who sing live almost the same as on record. Not even Amy Lee keeps the clear voice the whole concert, and she sounds less powerful live. Anette didn't.
"Meadows of Heaven" belongs to Anette Olzon. One of the best Nightwish songs! I adore it!
Her voice + Nightwish = Harmony, Epic.. What a golden angelic warm voice to hear..! I'll miss u Anette!
If i was there i would climb the stage and yell "stop talking, can't you see something epic is going on!?"
She nailed it, this is one of the most beautiful and touching live performances i've ever seen!
Magnificent live version, I love so much this song, exhilarating melody and Anette's performance, perfect ending. Anette, you are amazing, I've missed you in Nightwish my dear, very good job of Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester orchestra!
This performance is the proof why Anette is favourite female singer! She's more than just amazing!!
And there are people who still have the courage to say that Anette can not sing!
Stupid idiots.
Agreed, I can't understand those people. Just listen to that ending, it's so full of power and emotion!
100% agree with you !! Great artist ! The last 30'' are amazing !
She has a very nice voice and she can sing.
She can't sing metal.. Does this sound like metal to you?
i loved Anette ever since the first time i saw and heard her, she's pretty, she has an angelic voice and sings so well and she's also a great person in general.
Anette has never been a bad singer. She's VERY good.

That's the detail all people forget, because they are not professional singers.
in fact tarja has never sing in opera, not even a musical
In addition: Tarja's English was crippled. And her singing was less melodic than that of Anette or Floor
I love Anette and I love this song!! This brought me to tears!!It really touched my spirit!!This song remains one of my favorites!!
That gospel part at the end gave me shivers, so much emotion it almost had me into tears. Älskar Anette
I just cant deal with the epicness of this song here... Anette has a beautiful and melodic voice and she owns Imaginaerum and DPP.
In 2022 people are starting to realize...
An Angelic Marvellous Voice I ADORE!!! ❤💋❤
Anette's sound is very beautiful.
It’s a crime that there isn’t a professional recording of this masterpiece, A TRUE CRIME, I’M PRESSING CHARGES 😡😡
Anette doesn't get enough credit. This performance is so damn powerful, she's amazing.
Nobody can deny that Anette is one hell of a good singer after watching this video, absolutely brilliant performance.
I've probably watched this clip 20 or 30 times, and every time I do, I wonder how in the hell anyone can say Anette Olzon can't sing.
No one says that.
Only in comparison to Tarja and/or Floor.
I was there, I't was totally amazing! And I met her after the concert... wow O.O
... no words could describe this atm.. simply fantastic.
I'm normally that big of an Anette fan but she's fantastic in this performance. Finally, a song that fits her...
She is amazing. Truly amazing.
This song is made for her
I'm just about one of the biggest Floor Jansen fans on the planet. I have albums, merchandise, and am even a major figure in many Floor Jansen fan clubs.... that being said...
This⬆ is the best Nightwish song, and Anette's performance of it could never be replaced.
i discovered NW with anette and i followed her career alone. she sings very well.
I get chills every time I watch this video. Love Anette!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this!
I love this song, and I love seeing her sing it live!
3:19 the face of the blond girl in the back, its the same face that I put when I'm listening anette's voice!!!! I love her with all my heart, she is amazing and so underrated metal queen!!! 😍🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
she is wonderful and she has a beautiful voice
I love you anette forever!!!

This is a very beautful song and I read somewhere that NW weren't going to play this song live...
Love this song ♥
Muy bien Anette, cada vez mejor en los directos, y cada vez mejor con las canciones antiguas...
couple of years passed. Anette Olzon not.
thank you for recording and publishing. I'm coming back every month.

That was wonderful i have tears in my eyes right now i wish she would record a version like this that would be butiful.
Awesome song and performance.
Wow! Amazing ❤️
She's so talent, so wonderful.
Fast upload I see...
WOW!! she did the very last part WONDERFULLY!! it's like the original song. She's impressed me once again, and I'm even more surprised about she singing that song specially.
Hopefully I can get the chance to hear it one day too...
Thanks so much for sharing it, amazing quality btw.
=)
OMG I think Im going to cry!! T__T This is amazing!! I knew she was going to sing this one *.*
Beautiful! the rain adds to the atmosphere i think lol
So she decides to do the gospelchoir solos on the record by herself...and it`s even better..flawless!
Grymt!
Her voice can soar above the orchestra. Powerful voice!
Preciosa!!!!Voz preciosa!!! We miss you Anette
Amazing job for Anette. I she said she was so nervous during rehersal. She did great!
This is absolutely awesome performance by Anette.I hope we gonna hear this song same way in the future but of course with the whole band Nightwish and with the strong metal sounds.
Hey this is amazing... thanks so much for posting!!!!
Wonderful Performance!
One of Rarest ocassion when it is singed with an orchestra,it is sooo purifying,Dark Passion Play on its RIPE!!!Anette is magical(nice legs too he heee)
Dear Anette, you are the best NW singer!
Nemoj cuce te neko
Wow. Good quality vid! THANKS! :D
Damn. She killed it. That ending was epic.
People need to quit comparing! Anette is very good in the songs that were composed for her,and I would think that she would have co created them too.Every voice has its own unique character and place.Take it for what it is then you won't feel divided inside instead of leaving pointless comments! Leave Nightwish be,leave Tarja be each going through their own growth and everything is part of that.None of you ever remain with one thing forever so WHY should they?!!
She sings excellent. Haters gonna hate.
This song is suits so perfect to Anette's voice.
Hahaha i'm from Mexico so i won't go to the show at Hartwaal areena?
I saw Nightwish on 2008 (best day of my life) in San Diego, i even met Marco, it's been more than a year and i still can't believe it haha!
And i met Nw two months after the break with Tarja and i became a huge fan so it was very heartbreaking not to have the chance of seeing the band in their old era :( hahaha!
But i still have no regrets!:D
Yeah, there were many artists and I guess each of them sang 2-3 songs. I didn't see them all, it was raining so much that I wanted to go inside. :(
Beautiful *__*
Love it
Everybody saying she can't sing should listen to this.
Yes, she isn't Tarja. But that doesn't mean she's bad. Just different (and not in the euphemistic way).
Great Nighwish song sung by Anette. I wish they could do it together with Nightwish in some live again.
Anette is simply the best!
+Lyubo Talev I agree. The best!!!
woooooow *.*
this is just amazing - I love it!!
That was great! :)
... wow... beautiful ...
live she sounds as good as on the album, if not better! love this song
Nightwish made an exellent choice when they brought Anette on. Dark Passion Play has become my favorite Nightwish Cd because of her.
the orchestra is just freakin amazing... on the other video of Soyalecitin with anette too...
@analikewhoa1 This concert which Anette's performance was a part of, was called "Suomi Safari", with many more or less famous Finnish artists. So there were definitely many Finns listening to this, that's why she said Kiitos. :))
this isamazing SO GREAT NETTIE!!
The story of what happened during this song is so tragic and poetic .
Well, at least this beautifull song its "singed" live!
*wish for the rest of the band in this video*
As the description says it whas the 13.8.2009 at the Stockholm culture festival.
Omg so beautiful..🖤🖤🖤
Why are there always jerks in the audience having a conversation while theres a performance going on? -_-
Zamykam oczy, latarnia gaśnie
I close my eyes, the lantern dies
Zapach przebudzenia, dzikiego miodu i rosy
The scent of awakening, wild honey and dew
Gry dla dzieci, lasy i jeziora
Childhood games, woods and lakes
Strumienie srebra, zabawki z dawnych czasów
Streams of silver, toys of olden days
Łąki Niebios
Meadows of Heaven
Łąki Niebios
Meadows of Heaven
Kwiaty cudu
The flowers of wonder
I ukryte skarby
And the hidden treasures
Na łące życia
In the meadow of life
Mój akr nieba
My acre of heaven
Pięcioletnie zimowe serce
A five year-old winterheart
W miejscu zwanym domem
In a place called home
Żeglując po falach przeszłości
Sailing the waves of past
Łąki nieba
Meadows of heaven
Łąki nieba
Meadows of heaven
Łąki nieba
Meadows of heaven
Łąki nieba
Meadows of heaven
Fotel bujany bez marzyciela
Rocking chair without a dreamer
Drewniana huśtawka bez śmiechu
A wooden swing without laughter
Piaskownica bez żołnierzyków
Sandbox without toy soldiers
Święta Bożego Narodzenia bez Lotu
Yuletide without the Flight
Marzenie na całe życie
Dreambound for life
Kwiaty więdną, skarby pozostają ukryte
Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
Dopóki nie zobaczę pierwszej jesiennej gwiazdy
Until I see the first star of fall
zasnąłem
I fall asleep
I zobacz to wszystko
And see it all
Opieka matki
Mother's care
I kolor latawców
And color of the kites
Niebo, och, och, och
Heaven, oh oh oh
Niebo
Heaven
Niebiańskie łąki, oh oh oh
Meadows of heaven, oh oh oh
Łąki nieba
Meadows of heaven
Niebo (niebo)
Heaven (heaven)
Łąki Niebios
Meadows of Heaven
Simply Amazing!! Anette proves she is an extraordinary singer who sings with feeling. Otherwise, never a sensational musician like Tuomas would have chosen a typical show-off singer to surround his compositions..
Tarja is an amazing and extremely skillful singer, but I'd rather her not be showing-off in live concerts especially, cause noone's touched if the artist doesn't FEEL the song onstage.
Because people are not vocalists themselves, certain notes that Anette makes sound SO EASY, are actually extremely hard to reach, but they sound easy because of the correct collocation of the sound. Anette is actually one of the few singers who sing live almost the same as on record. Not even Amy Lee keeps the clear voice the whole concert, and she sounds less powerful live. Anette didn't.
Finally hearing this song LIVE...
good job anette!you are the best!
that song is really great... ah jeah...she is really great singer
What a stunning beautiful gorgeous lady Anette Olzon is....... ❤️
Thanks Tuomas!
that was SOOOOO freaking amazing!!!
million times better than studio version.
Nightwish MUST play this live at Helsinki Hartwall!!!!
Go head Anette, Excellent performance.
im still teary eyed
gosh damnit youtube
One of Anette's best live performances
I love her so much 🖤
hermosa interpretación y ella es brillante!
love this!!!
She is angel... I really like it
Very beautiful! A little fast, but still good. This song is great and Anette sings it very well.
This song is as beautiful as its singer
