Nightwish - Ghost River Lyrics

miss this kickass song, hopefully they bring it back next tour

Berserker and Valkyrie in perfect combination

If Floor had been a siren during my time as a sailor in the US Navy, I have little doubt that she would have succeeded in luring my shipmates & I to our deaths. All 5,000 of us. (I served on an aircraft carrier).

This song is just fantastic but the part from approximately 4:08 to 4:41 may be the most beautiful half minute of music I have ever heard!!!!

So the two best singers in metal are in the samen band? Wow!

Anyone else getting Layne Stanley's vibe at 2:14? Or it's just my brain playing tricks on me

Jag skulle vilja tala för varför jag älskar Nightwish så mycket.

Jag är allätare i musikvärlden, Jazz, Klassiskt, Pop, Rock... You name it. I april så tog jag steget in i en värld jag inte ens visste fanns, Symfonisk Metal? Vad fan är det för någonting?

Men så började jag att titta och framförallt lyssna och not för not så blev jag övertygad. Jag blev i samma veva totalt befäst vid världens mest underskattade vokala talang, Floor Jansen. Klart att hon har 50-100 miljoner fans över hela världen men jag håller fast vid mitt påstående.

Det hon gör tillsammans med Nightwish kan inte beskrivas som annat än Magi. Det går inte att förklara på något annat sätt. Det är synkroniseringar i superavancerade låtar och chord-progressioner och 100 andra saker som Kliffar bara och det gör det helt jävla omöjligt från en dirigents synvinkel...

...Men dom lyckas, gång efter gång, hela konserter utan att tveka och det är därför jag är ingalunda förvånad att jag betraktar det jag skådar och hör som ren och skär MAGI.

Jag fick lära mig tidigt på resan när jag letade efter liknande band att det finns inga. Inga tävlar med Nightwish, det är kört, dom är i sin egen liga och ingen kommer att komma ifatt.

I CANT GET ANNETTE”S VOICE OUT OF MY HEAD WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG LMAO.

I have no problem getting "she who should not be named" voice out of my head cause I could never get through a single song she did lol.

💟💟💟

Meu Deus cara! Que mulherão da porraaa ! Os olhos até lacrimejaram aqui ( e a boca salivou, com todo respeito)

ONLY TOWN U FUCKERS>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This band is a nuclear generator! Floor alone could light up a city. We all know about her vocal prowess. But how about how she moves? Good heavens she is one sexy woman! She moves with such grace and elegance, but it's sexy as hell!

É uma das muitas músicas do Nightwish esquecidas, ou melhor dizendo, caídas no ostracismo. Lamentável!!!👎👎👎😥😥😥

This concert just blows me away I wish I was there! What a group and Floor...OMG!! I am mesmerized by you and I love you already got to get to a Nightwish concert

Emppu always makes funny faces lol

She is the best female lead I have ever seen or heard. Awesome🤘🏻

Gedgemeister hands down yes! So versatile I don’t know anything she can’t do… Floor...SO amazing!

t's a long road down the river deep 'n wild 
Every twist and turn a wonder-dale 
It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take 
Let yourself bleed 
Leave a footprint on every island you see

Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits 
Snow white, pitch-black, your life such strife 
Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sights 
Believe it, we live as we dream, scream

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down 
The river wild will take your only child 
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down 
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down 
The river wild will take your only child 
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down 
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down 
If you want me, then do come across

What is it you dream of, child of mine? 
The magic ride, the mermaid cove? 
Never met a kinder heart than yours 
Let it bleed 
Leave a footprint on every island you see

I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss 
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge 
Come across 
Death by a thousand cuts 
Believe it, we live as we dream, scream

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down 
The river wild will take your only child 
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down 
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down 
The river wild will take your only child 
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down 
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down 
If you want me, do come across

I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass 
I am the fear and abuse, the leper children 
Every eye sewn shut

We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down 
The river wild will be our last ride 
We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down 
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

Beautifully shy as you are 
Never lose your heart 
And do come across

Si solo cantara ella... Seria maravilloso..

Id love to see this band live

new tour coming up in 2020

Wow that blonde at 0.20 what a hair 😜

как же хочется переиздания этих песен, с вокалом Floor, эхх

Genius composer + super line up + angelic voice
Nothing ever sound better than that

Damn my childhood band! 💕💕💕 Thanks for the upload!

1:11 - Here I'm falling love to her

I love Floor Jensen's voice!

replay lml,

Listening to NW since 1998...love them!
But Floor...ahhhh Floor...its not only her vocals, which are superb, its her style, her performance on stage, her looks(beautiful as hell!!!), her moves (i loveeee those mini-dances)...everything

beautiful in my heart♥️

Ooooooooooooooooo

Nightwish needs to do more songs incorporating Marco's vocals...They work so well with Floor's. Fucking epic.

地板永恒

金昭烨 if you loved them great if you thumbed down FU. I’m sure you get it no matter the language, brother or sister love you you love something I 💕 💫💕💕💕💕💕💕⚡️⚡️⚡️🐕☠️👠🌷🌷🌹🌷👠🎖🌹💕

No lie I get an erection every time she sings

So a floorgasm then

2:33 Floor doing guttural voice

Emppu @ 3:13 🤣

That duet of Floor Jansen and marco at the begining is perfect

"(...) beautiully shy... as you are... never lose your heart... and do come across..."
Love those lyrics

Floor is just phenomenal! I have gone back over Nightwish history and I have tried to like tarya but I just can't. Not just with Nightwish but her solo singing to. I just don't like it and her Christmas album was absolutely disgusting in my opinion only. As for a Anette she makes a great Studio artist, but sucks live. Floor is the best thing that ever happened to Nightwish! In my opinion she as well as the entire band sound better live then they do on Studio albums. All hail the almighty FLOOR!👑

badass singer!!

Is that her growl at 1:07?!!

Yes, and at 2:32 also

@Sacrimony Oh my God...all my dreams...

So underrated.

Has there ever been a performance of a single NW song that showcases Floor's range better than this? I can't think of one.

Check out romanticide from this same show and you will see more of her versatility and talent! I just love her!

Check out her former band Revamp.

That's actually a good song from a nightwish era I didn't follow. Went to the decades tour and now am hooked with them again, however I can't listen to Imaginaerum and Dark Passion Play. Too bad that a singer that you dont like can actually ruin good music for you.
therefore I will always prefer instrumental music for obvious reasons ...

Floor is the best thing that ever happened to nightwish. And those guys really deserve it after the way tarja fucked them over with master passion greed!

Sorry guys, a Friend recommended this, and didn't like it. You people have a great week. Cheers.

Floors voice at 4 minutes in haunts me. I always hear her and eventually log in to watch this song.

This is the song that any "Tarja-holics" should realize why so many of us love Floor and have moved on from Tarja.

Typical floor-holic. Can't you just enjoy the music? You guys are dense.

After listen to this, I fell in love with Floor

Floors voice is so wonderfull👍. I love this song❤👌.

Me gusta la voz de Floor pero esta canción siento que le sale mejor a Anette

Oh my god, this woman...her voice, her body structure, her moves on stage...for me, she's sexy as hell!!!

For me, too! She is ultra sexy without being vulgar. You can't help but want her.

Solo en este tema..

Why does marco always look like a wanted pedophile?

just look in the mirror

Estupenda!

Matthew mcgonauchey ;) 2:14

I love Floor she’s amazing

Every single song on the entire Wacken 2013 show set list is bad-ass! I've never witnessed a better show! Just incredible:)

Neither have I!

Marco those vocals... ❤️❤️❤️

I think Floor is a fantastic singer. She can do opera vocals and growl vocals. She's so versatile. I love her <3

🤘🖤

An absolutely DEADLY riff from Empuu. love it

I'm sorry you Floor fans, but I like Anette's version better.

No worries, not everyone in the world has been born with sanity... Hahahaha...

Fantastica!

Floor's growl at 2:33 :)

probably their worst song

WTF I'd say it's probably their BEST song.

fuck yea!!

4:08 Sempre me arrepio nessa parte

Eu tbm. É bonito demais esse trecho na voz dela

Would have loved to be at that show! Want to meet Floor and Marco. They are cool!

don't like her voice

so much better than studio version!! Floor nailed it! She has a voice of a fucking angel! I can't stop listening!!

Never ever switch back to Tarja or Anette. FLOOR is everything Nightwish have been looking for, so don’t lose her.

Foda!!!!!

muito bom

Marco is just so amazing

Just perfection!! This version is AWESOME

Annette is still better there's no emotion in floor

hmmmmm ..... Anette .... used to sing for these guys? That Anette? Hmmmmmm.

Dave Mason Who? Who?

Please... 👎

Marco + Floor = amazing Voice!!

Lives are so good I had an eargasm <3

You mean a floorgasm?

Does anyone else see Matthew McCaughnhey at 2:00 and 2:06? Whats he doing here? Lol.

Looked like he was howling at the moon

Wormholes...

По Русски в прямом переводе духи реки))

Exceptional !

Floor! #THANKYOU ♡

I'm surprised just... surprised... good job NightWish

Floor jansen espectacular nada que decir

te amo floor jansen desde Honduras.. algún día ire a un concierto de nightwish

Jukka is the best drummer in the world!

i don't know if he's the best drummer in the world but definitely he's the best in style (his overall appereance)

Kai Hahto or whatever you spell his last name, ist way better tho.

@Owain Dark Kai is an awesome drummer.

Yukka is more of a Showman and that's why I love him! but Kai is also a great drummer. He has worked very hard during his time with Nightwish. He did not want to lose the Nightwish Style so he worked very hard to learn the drums for all of the old songs, even writing them out beat for Beat on paper. Great guy! AAA +

porque nightwish é tão foda

The sound quality here is not the best for this, but please do me a favor. Just close your eyes and listen how the Floor's voice goes background in the chorus part, and melts with the voice of Marco. It's so fukin trippy, and of course, so fukin excellent. The most incredible part of all...this is a live performance.

Chiko Chonny Wacken performances never had good sound quality

0:43 esa cara de satisfacción de Emppu lo dice todo. Están muy felices por tener a Floor. Ahora sí disfrutan de dar conciertos como antes.

essa e minha musica favoriti

Essa mùsica è f#da
Maravilhosa

Floor is just perfect for Nightwish. I hope they don't fire her any time soon! And for those still bitching about Tarja, GET OVER IT, IT'S BEEN 10 FUCKING YEARS OMG, GET OVER ALREADY!!!!!!

Amazing, amazing, amazing !

She is so damn gorgeous.

This lady got some serious balls

It's amazing to hear this song like this. It was completely lifeless with Anette singing it

I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying this is absolutely, literally perfect performance.

Floor's and Marco's voice combination is incredible! The perfect mix of unique feminine and masculine voice! Cant stop listening this!

ONKS TOI JOKU TARJA KLOONI VAI JOK MUU PELLE

That women could adjust her pitch to match marco's, that makes it sound so great

@Ben Jr Not match, in the unique growl. For me Floor is more amazing than Marco and ive listened to this band since i was 13 years old thats when they started with our dear Tarja. Listened to all of marcos work. I apritiate hes vocals alot as a backup singer in Nightwish. Tarot was something different. Also hes own songs in Nightwish is different for me. I love hes voice. Its very much unique, its a 1-10000000 voice wich cant be copied ever. Just what i think. Floor is something once in ever greatest voices you hear about, there are alot of names on this spreadsheet since the beginning of time. Shes one of them tho and to be on this list you have to have your own amazing voice and she will be there for generations i reckon. Together with the band, they are so skilled the whole band so tight its awesome.

Idiscublimente la mejor voz femenina de los último tiempo

Floor's growls <3 THIS WOMAN IS INCREDIBLE!!

4:14 What a voice!
