Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful Lyrics






The deepest solace lies in understanding,
This ancient unseen stream,
A shudder before the beautiful

Awake, oceanborn
Behold this force
Bring the outside in
Explode the self to epiphany

The very core of life
The soaring high of truth and light

The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant Island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We, the voyagers

Tales from the seas
Cathedral of green

The very core of life
The soaring high of truth and light

The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant Island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We, the voyagers

The unknown, the grand show, the choir of the stars
Interstellar theatre play, the nebulae curtain falls
Imagination, evolution, a species from the vale
Walks in wonder in search of the source of the tale

The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant Island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We, the voyagers

Nightwish Shudder Before The Beautiful Comments
  1. c.... ....

    oh my goodness...so when this album first came out, i think i was comparing it too much to old Tarja music....but now that i am listening to it for the first time in years, the beauty of this song has brought me to tears......and her voice is perfect.....

  2. s.... ....

    Damn, this opening is even better then DCOW back in 2004. Can't wait for 2020 :-)

  3. a.... c....

    can t wait for the next album...

  4. �.... ....

    愛してる

  5. I.... A....

    (Vocally speaking) Floor is the best thing that EVER happened to nightwish

    I.... A....

    Overall, not just vocally. Her on stage energy basically brightened the whole band, all on stage are smiling, which didn't happen that much (like in almost every song) back then with Tarja or Anette. Floor does wonders not only vocally. So she indeed is the best thing, that ever happened to Nightwish.

    I.... A....

    @Alexandra Hefnerová i 100% agree... as the leader singer shes the best thing (vocally and everythint involved) i specify vocally because lyrically tuomas was the best thing lmao

    I.... A....

    @Alexandra Hefnerová and letme tell u floor not only is the best metal singer vocally but also no one has a better stage presence... she brights up every stage she's in

    I.... A....

    @Iza Alves Couldn't agree more. These two, Tuomas and Floor, definitely are the best things that happened to Nightwish, without Tuomas there wouldn't be any songs to begin with, and Floor even makes them all special in her own way, in a way Tarja, nor Anette could. They are great singers, but lack the overall energy, that Floor brings in. She can steal the stage very easily. Too easily indeed. Huh, I think I'm in love. XD

    I.... A....

    @Alexandra Hefnerová no worries it's impossible not to fall in love w floor 🤘🏽🤘🏽

  6. R.... o....

    простите,но у вас бас-гитарист поёт лучше вокалистки...может его и оставить на вокале?

  7. M.... e....

    Poderosa voz la de Floor , la mejor por lejos

    Floor Jansen is the greatest singer in the world.

    As much as I love listening to Floor, I have to admit that Marko still has the best hair!

  17. P.... M....

    Jansen is beautiful 😏💗💗

  18. F.... H....

    Ein emotionales Erlebnis den Liedern zu lauschen.

  19. S.... L....

    I am genuinely in love with this woman. Best singer of this generation, amazing stage presence, can comunicate so much emotion with her voice. She's beautiful, sexy, powerful, strong and I can tell, kind and positive.What a gem.

  20. J.... J....

    Everyone's here praising Floor (and rightfully so) and I just wanna watch Emppu and Tuomas' solo duel lmao.

  21. c.... c....

    fLOoR AND MaRcO i love you both

  22. S.... K....

  33. W.... T....

  34. b.... y....

    I would like to thank Anette for doing things that caused her dismissal from the band and resulted in the recruitment of the flying dutchwoman.

    b.... y....

    burak yumat correct, but she was extremely unwell health wise. Let’s not wish that for someone 😇

    b.... y....

    @annfender oops:/ sorry 'bout that. But it seems that bad things can end up with way better results, at least for the band and fans in this case. I respected this band with Tarja and I love this band with Floor. I dont have any feelings for Anette, as a fan of NW.

    b.... y....

    I know! You did not mean it that way 🙂 but yea isn’t floor just amazing ? I am obsessed

  35. E.... Q....

  53. P.... O....

    Emppu's playing is so weird! It looks as if he is struggling and playing the guitar with his mind only (not even tocuhing it) at the same time. Love the guy!

  54. C.... V....

    A banda mais foda do Universo!

  55. M.... R....

    I wish North America was lucky enough to see them more often. Floor is simply the best! She just flat out brings it.

  58. V.... w....

    i miss Tarja but this one is a really good fit too..

  59. J.... K....

    Would love to lie on the Floor! 🤗😍

  60. M.... F....

    Who the hell dislikes this?!

    M.... F....

    925 dumbasses.

    M.... F....

    exactly wtf

  61. J.... �....

    Been listening to a few covers of this song recently. I thought those covers were amazing.... until i visited this video again. God damn, Floor!

  62. f.... h....

    tarja the best none can replace her

    f.... h....

    Tarja left 15 years ago ... get over it and stop bothering here ...

    f.... h....

    @fitim hani I am not Dutch, nor do I need to be Dutch to appreciate a good singer when I listen to her ... if you think that the musical quality of a person depends on their nationality, I think you should review your musical criteria ...

    f.... h....

    @fitim hani well fuck you, from a dutchie!

    f.... h....

    Og well... go listen to her solo material then

  63. j.... m....

    musica foda demais

  64. C.... G....

    ¡Hermoso! ♥

  65. P.... M....

    Beautiful, brilliant, powerful, what a performance, what a band, they're just awesome!

  66. S.... R....

    Awesome song!!!! Floor is killing it. Nightwish With Floor rises to another level. Brutal performance 👍

  67. �.... ....

    아직도 활동하고 있구나, 12년전 초딩때부터 게임으로 알게되었는데 ㅋㅋ

  68. K.... B....

    Heh. Still not convinced with regard to You Know Who :) Nightwish quality is still there, definitely, but... I know it's unpopular opinion... something unique has been lost.

    K.... B....

    we dont know actually, what are you talking about?

    K.... B....

    Some do, do your homework...

    K.... B....

    @Korz Bro well you said you know who and i dont, beeing a fan since 2007

    K.... B....

    @Fingers You must have not been an observant fan, then :) but that's no sin. Cheers.

  72. J.... ....

    Floor Jansen ❤️

  73. H.... Y....

    Most versatile singer in the world! Check floor out on beste zangers.

  74. G.... M....

    One doesn’t simply underestimate Marco’s voice.
    Adds so much to their sound.

    G.... M....

    G Melford 2nd beet replacement was Marco for Sami. Songwriting took a big notch forward.

  75. s.... c....

  82. �.... �....

    🤘🤘🤘👋👋👋👋

  83. I.... M....

    Toda una valquiria!!!!

  84. M.... A....

    I was thinking Floor Jansen voice sheer vocal range is like Tarja and Anette had a child and wallah you have Floor. Absolutely the best of both. I'll always love Tarja and Anette but Floor will be played at my funeral.

  85. C.... T....

    It is physically impossible to not headbang at 3:35
    That riff is so god damn good!

  86. U.... S....

    Egau für mi isch floor immer die heavy queen ...und i dänk das ihre für mi niemer s"wasser länge ,

  87. P.... P....

    My friend Ella loves listening to NightWish shes excited to go to the concert next year and she said she has a Nightwish t shirt and CDs I don't really enjoy her opinions since I prefer pop music its relaxing to me tbh UwU

  88. A.... B....

    Floor Jansen is a goddess.

  89. n.... s....

    minute 3:36 woow

  90. P.... B....

    This band is amazing. If your going to copy maiden, please get two more guitarists and and bassist that rips.

  91. �.... �....

    Круто

  92. S.... G....

    Two great singers: Floor and Marko!

    S.... G....

    1 great lead singer Floor ,then you also have Marco.

  93. M.... B....

    Yo, im just gonna say it. The album version is soooo toned down compared to the way they play it live. I mean damn, this peeled my fucking cap back for real. I listened to the album version and it just seemed very stripped down. The guitar sound wasnt really coming through with that crunchy rough heavy sound and Floor's vocals sounded like she was singing into a tube or something. You can hear her real singing voice and the power she has along with the guitar sound in this version. Totally different. That seems to be the case with most of their songs from what i can see.

  94. M.... U....

    The fact that this was the OPENING song......lmfao. they are so great. i love them all

  95. M.... S....

    Nightwish is Top!

  96. J.... F....

    Wonderful song. Nightwish always has awesome female lead singers.

  97. A.... G....

    Is that an amazonian singing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩?
