Nightwish - Meadows Of Heaven Lyrics






I close my eyes, the lantern dies
The scent of awakening, wild honey and dew.
Childhood games, woods and lakes,
Streams of silver, toys of olden days.

Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.

The flowers of wonder and the hidden treasures,
In the meadow of life, my acre of Heaven.
A five-year-old winter heart in a place called home
Sailing the waves of past.

Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.

Rocking chair without a dreamer,
A wooden swing without laughter.
Sandbox without toy soldiers,
Yuletide without the flight.

Dreambound for life.

Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
Until I see the first star of fall.
I fall asleep and see it all:
Mother's care and colour of the kites.

Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
Meadows of Heaven.
[fading]

  12. J.... G....

    MASTERPIECE.

  13. R.... P....

    voz linda 😍😍🇧🇷

  14. b.... i....

    Amazing song 💙

  15. E.... N....

    Wow!! "super rolon"

  16. J.... ....

    Long ago, someone on here had a tribute video to the fallen Maximals of Beast Wars/Machines, using this beautiful song. As a result, whenever I hear this song I always think of the Beast Era of Transformers (back when TFs were actually great).


    Rest in peace Dinobot, Airazor & Tigatron/Tigerhawk, Depth Charge, Transmetal 2 Dinobot clone, Rhinox, and Optimus Primal! The greatest of Cybertron!

  17. K.... P....

    I love Floor the most But you cannot deny that this is a beautiful song by Annette...

  18. P.... J....

    I’d love to hear this live

  19. A.... ....

    5:49 voice who?

  20. M.... A....

    "Where my soul sleeps, there treasure shines trough darkness. Where my soul was born. Warm roses in garden of life and dead. Tree of dying souls, roots of life. 'Madness', you say. No. Its wonders and secrets of life. When human dies, soul wakes and new flower is open".

  21. A.... B....

    Stelle mir vor, mein schatz läuft über die wiesen im himmel.

  22. Z.... C....

    Listen to 6:45 till the end is the best part

  23. D.... A....

    The lyrics....🎶 👼 👼I'm not one to cry over a song but damn 😢 I think of my beloved mother, gone 7 years...

  24. T.... L....

    Still hear to 2019!

  25. D.... K....

    Quien dice ?? Que el metal es del demon!@@@

  26. V.... C....

    3:36 to 4:11 Is the best part

    As human beings we often look over the beauty of life and dont really consider it. We are born as children, free and curious, to only die as enslaved working humans for society. We have lost the ability to truly appreciate the beauty of the meadows of heaven... that is Earth...

  27. A.... ....

    Masterpiece.

  28. R.... Y....

    This song was constructed perfectly

  29. M.... W....

    An der taufe meiner kinder haten wir dieses lied 😇🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🍼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️🌠🌠🌜

  30. R.... F....

    Anette>Tarja.this is so clear

  32. M.... e....

    Quiero saber porque está canción ya no me aparece en Spotify :c

  33. a.... c....

    Preljepo...

  34. T.... E....

    Who sang the outro here? Was it Marco?

  35. Z.... S....

    The ending in this song is just perfect. You either have tears at the end or goosebumps.

  36. C.... C....

    Anette I miss you

  37. D.... O....

    How stunning. You can't help but cry with how beautiful this is.

  38. H.... J....

    NON SENSIBLE 👎🏻🔥😈
    Most irritable song that I’ve ever heard
    Annoying 🤢

    H.... J....

    Hearing this song is like a torture 😖

  39. n.... m....

    Tears in my eyes every time

  40. q.... ....

    Anette's voice resembles Susanne Sundfor's beautiful voice on M83's "Oblivion" -- especially at the beginning (:58 - 1:30), and again at 2:34 - 2:45 and 4:50 - 5:14.

  41. O.... ....

    I'd gladly give my life in exchange for this song to exist. Utterly beautiful

  42. S.... I....

    30.11.2018 with love!!!

  43. z.... ....

    Killer music

  44. T.... A....

    Perfect. Just perfect.

  45. Z.... ....

    This song is absolutely brilliant. The first time I heard it I was sure this was a cover of some classical ballad from 50 years back :) Holopainen is a genius.

  46. D.... G....

    kedvencem nightwish

  47. H.... M....

    I love the use of the Gospel choir. Amazing how well their style blends with the band.

  48. a.... ....

    espetáculo essa música

  49. S.... T....

    love #NightwishAlways

  50. W.... C....

    Canção maravilhosa 😍😍😍 como sempre da melhor banda que existe NIGHTWISH 💓💓 🤘😎

  51. K.... R....

    Annette voice is so smoothing and beautiful. All of Nightwish female vocalists past and present are wonderful singers. And Tuomas writes so beautifully and his music is just magical. Love you Nightwish from Trinidad. Also love your new band with your wife and Troy, she also has a beautiful voice.

  52. �.... �....

    One of the best Nightwish songs!

  53. E.... R....

    greetings from saltillo coahuila mexico of mel

  54. S.... N....

    Thank goodness that they went with Floor Jansen on later albums because this Swedish girl simply doesn't have a Nightwish sort of voice, not matter how good she sings.

  55. D.... T....

    5:45😍😍

  56. A.... L....

    The beginning reminded me the rainbow's song, "catch the rainbow". Both are awsome

  57. P.... M....

    Ah downfall. I was listening to tears in heaven on mates phone too. Sorry
    Lol

  58. P.... M....

    It is a cover but i prefer it to the original

    P.... M....

    Philip Marshall What???? It's NOT a cover.

  59. C.... R....

    Maybe Anette wasn't good enough in live but her vocal works in studio were so beautiful, i love that era of Nightwish too... <3

    C.... R....

    Carlos Rodriguez Check out the live version of this song in Hartwall Arena and rethink your choice.

  60. B.... B....

    Nightwish... wish. Finnish gift to the world of amazing music and performances.

  61. J.... M....

    Hermosa canta como los dioses

  62. T.... P....

    One of their most emotive songs. And that my friends, is saying something.

  63. S.... M....

    This really is a nice song. Just when I thought I had reached an age where I was past discovering new music, and liking it.

  64. E.... O....

    is it wierd i want to have sex while listening to this song LOL

  65. e.... ....

    Bury me to this song when I die.

  66. S.... G....

    Wäre schön ein Teil dieser Band zu sein !

  67. M.... A....

    A masterpiece! I think that the greatest moment is at 4.05. Anette sings all out of her heart! Tuomas is a genius. the only thing I don't like in this song are the female gospel singers at the end.

  68. M.... A....

    Absolutely fantastic, thanks for uploading!

  69. S.... R....

    And how exactly is her voice shit? Fucking musically uneducated haters man..

  70. m.... t....

    Can't get enough of listening to it, a great work!

  71. S.... ....

    I feel like i'm drugged at the final part of this music, also, i feel a chill that runs up all my body. I feel euphoric like that i could be anything that i want. Incredible.

  72. r.... ....

    She could have done way better on the vocals but otherwise a good song.

    r.... ....

    You are joking, right? The singing on this song is awesome.

  73. R.... F....

    Amoooooooo

  74. N.... ....

    this song brings me happiness !!!!!

  75. m.... t....

    Yes, Anette leads us to the Meadows of Heaven by singing this song

  76. G.... S....

    Me faz chorar!

  77. m.... t....

    I think Anette's voice is send us from the medows of Heaven.

    m.... t....

    Agree ...

  78. L.... F....

    something from this song u can find in the "misty mountains cold" the hobbit OST, with different pace and stuff but its almost a copy of it. or is it the other way around? even the humming in the OST is the "OHHH" here xD

  79. g.... j....

    Beautiful.

  80. J.... L....

    me encanto esta cancion!

  81. T.... B....

    3:36 Here begins the most beautiful part of this song :). Tuomas Holopainen is best composer in the world. :)

  82. d.... ....

    the best album forever !

  83. M.... A....

    I like how they blatantly ripped off the melody from Jewel in the Crown by Mike Oldfield

  84. B.... ....

    Vieläki paras! Still the best!

  85. S.... F....

    Lindo tema

  86. a.... p....

    ...❤️...

  87. C.... L....

    beautiful song

  88. R.... S....

    We sing this in school 😏

    R.... S....

    We do too.

    R.... S....

    Lucky duck. Imagine this at a regional choir/band.

  89. S.... D....

    Tarja and Floor are really gifted. But I love Anette for this song. Also Last ride of the day, Scaretale and Poet and the Pendulum

    S.... D....

    @MK 4 anette's studio work was fine but her inconsistent live performances had to be an issue at times. now mind you, most audiences couldn't tell b-sharp to a d-flat, or 4/4 for 5/6 but the singer has less room to hide.

    S.... D....

    @ch hobbs couldn't agree more

    S.... D....

    Yeah, I love Anette's voice. "Eva", "For the Heart I Once Had", "The Poet and the Pendulum," "Meadows of Heaven," "Slow Love Slow" are very good to her voice. And if I compare to Floor's "Sahara" and "Storytime," Anette's voice is just so much more colorful and lively, Floor sounds drop dead boring compared.

    S.... D....

    Cadence of her Last Breath and For the Heart I Once Had are pretty great too

    S.... D....

    @MK 4 You have some right,the last albums who listen and now I love them more are the first three. when I listen the Oceanborn for the first time i knew only sleeping sun,I found them very different from the songs who i knew from NW,but now i love all the songs.Same in Wishmaster i am angry for my myself who i was late to discover that masterpieces.And finally i said i must listen at least one time the angels fell first. Now i love almost all the album. Different style but NW, great songs, strong voice by Tarja and the innocent of the time who they are very young.

  90. A.... T....

    Beautiful

  91. F.... p....

    sleepy, like the tempo of mage pride

  92. A.... B....

    "Dreambound for life", one of the greatest moments in ANY piece of music

  93. D.... F....

    This group is fantastic thanks to great instrumentalists and the very, very best lead female vocalist, Tarja !!! Love em !! 😎

    D.... F....

    there is no tarja bro

    D.... F....

    Well I may have spelt the name wrong but she WAS the really beautiful one with the long black hair who also trained in Opera and could hit three octave's. The same one who the group Night wish made the very,very stupid mistake of letting go. And she is now on her own. A woman with a most beautiful and remarkable voice, surely and truly a Gift!!

    D.... F....

    check jansen floor their last vocalist and you'll change your mind;)

    D.... F....

    @Dino Falcone
     Ignore that moron, Tarja Turunen was the original singer and was for many years.  You were right.

    D.... F....

    ThankYou!! I usually am if I make a definitive statement.

  94. G.... ....

    One of there best😬

  95. A.... C....

    You'd think Lucifer would have only one account but apparently he has 63... XD

    A.... C....

    He has billions of them. But one account of God is still stronger.
    Like a light beam lit in the darkness.

  96. T.... ....

    The Gospel on the background is amazing.

    T.... ....

    It almost feels like they are raising you up with their voices

    T.... ....

    @Hamster Munchies sis they absolutely do. 🖤

    T.... ....

    Anette is also a beast in gospel and jazz!

  97. d.... ....

    You think you know "Christian Rock"?

    No. You don't know the *meaning* of that genre until you've heard this.

    d.... ....

    Tumoas isnt christian lol and he wrote this song.

    d.... ....

    +Drew Santagate i thought TFK or Skillit were the leaders of Christian Rock?

    d.... ....

    Flyleaf, red, and skillet were the leaders of christian rock in the 2000s

    d.... ....

    how is this christian rock? the band nor the writer are christian lol.

    d.... ....

    Nope. Tuomas went so far as to ask the choir not to mention God nor Jesus or anything else that could be taken as a sign of the song being Christian.

    Perhaps there's the intrinsic value of beauty that you, as a fan of Christian music, might relate to the beliefs, and that's pretty rad, but this is in no way "Christian rock".

  98. �.... G....

    Anette does better slow songs

    �.... G....

    +Angela gp yeah I think so too... Slow and screamy songs r match her voice

    �.... G....

    @Szszoda just look at Slow Love Slow... she's perfect there

    �.... G....

    @Angela gp oh yes I agree!

    �.... G....

    She is great in jazz and gospel, it seems. In addition to ballads. I said earlier that damn, I wish she and Tuomas had had a jazz band as a side project. Apparently Tuomas can compose it, and Anette sure as hell can sing it.

  99. M.... M....

    this is the best without tarja

    M.... M....

    This one and The Islander. The Islander is pure perfection.
