Nightwish - Slow, Love, Slow Lyrics






Come and share this painting with me
Unveiling of me, the magician that never failed

This deep sigh coiled around my chest
Intoxicated by a major chord
I wonder
Do I love you or the thought of you?

Slow, love, slow
Only the weak are not lonely

Southern blue, morning dew
Let-down-your-guards, I-love-you's
Ice-cream castles, lips-to-ear rhymes
A slumber deeper than time

Slow, love, slow
Only the weak are not lonely

Nightwish Slow, Love, Slow Comments
  1. �.... ....

    jazz!!!! Nightwish!!!!! love love love!!!!! OMG

  2. P.... ....

    I love Tarja and Floor, but this song just belongs do Anette! She's absolutely amazing here. Her performance let me completely speechless! 😱

  3. J.... H....

    Beautiful!

  4. S.... ....

    This song is so...intimate

  5. C.... R....

    Paradossalmente, anche se flo è superiore come cantante, con Annette, erano ancora Nightwish..

  6. c.... ....

    Such a talented group - and this album was so beautifully written for Annette's voice. And as for this song- wow

  7. D.... E....

    the more I listen to Anette .. the more I fall in love with her ..

  8. t.... ....

    I love Anette’s songs. Floor is also really good, and of course Tarja is hard to beat, but Anette was the first Nightwish singer I heard.

    t.... ....

    The other 2 are great, but you never forget your first.

  9. D.... A....

    Escutar essa canção quando se esta apaixonado é um perigo !
    Mano do céu..

  10. S.... M....

    Anyone know some songs similiar to this?

    S.... M....

    Not really so close, but It's I have to go by the dark element featuring the same vocalist here, Anette.

  11. S.... G....

    Just wish to dance this song with only one person, the woman I have in mind while I listen to this song!!

  12. R.... W....

    This song makes me think of sitting on a porch of a southern plantation with the windows and doors open and playing this on a record player...

  13. D.... A....

    Sexy...Listen this in a perfect Romance night with an especial Girl,Great moment

  14. W.... W....

    Angelic voice drowning millions...

  15. K.... C....

    Interesting song for Nightwish. I don't mind it, it's cool.

  16. A.... ....

    This is probably my favorite Anette song. She should have been a jazz singer, it seems to me.

  17. c.... c....

    I cant stop listening to this

  18. C.... G....

    I have a Mata Hari type feeling for this. Starts all sultry sexy and smooth....then it gets a touch of the warrior towards the end.
    She will kill you....but you will love her for it.

  19. E.... B....

    Holy fuck this sounds so much like 20th century.

  20. E.... B....

    A friend did a cover song of this and now I've fallen in love help me

    E.... B....

    Give to Him

  21. E.... a....

    The first thought 💭 inside my mind with this song:

    Anna Elizabeth Alexjandra Darkness trying to explain to Edgar Darkness than he’s not to be worry about Kid, while Puppet Bonnie Darkness is playing that sweet and dark melody once again... then... the Darkness’s Family join us for a sweetly, bloody and moonlight’s dance for all of us, The Darkness’s Family!

    -Miss Schizophrenia (Schizo)

  22. t.... ....

    It's nice. Like the jazz.

    But Floor and Tarja truly are Nightwish.

    Annette? Not so much.

    For me.

    Sorry Annette fans.

    She's not even in the same league as Tarja or Floor.

    Annette's voice is just paper thin and, as nice as this song is, Annette does nothing for me vocally.

    No goosebumps like when Floor sings.

    Just meh. And barely that.

    t.... ....

    She may not have a powerful voice, but what se achieve with this album is to transport your mind to the most innocent, passionate and happy moments of the youth and childhood. She give an almost magic touch to this. Something like serious voices like Tarja and Floor ones cant and will never could achieve

    t.... ....

    She's not in the same league as Floor and Tarja because she's different. It doesn't make her less talented.

  23. S.... L....

    Phantom of the Opera, anyone? Just me? Okay.

  24. H.... ....

    Move over, Tarja.

  25. G.... M....

    Pretty saxy for a nightwish song

  26. Y.... A....

    Can't be the only one who thinks this song is sexy ...

  27. k.... v....

    Porn sound

    k.... v....

    Pfff. 😂🤣😅

  28. C.... F....

    I thought "Intoxicated by a change of chord" was "Intoxicated by a change of heart". Dare I say I ever so slightly like change of heart better?

    C.... F....

    And there, forever remains, that shift from G to Em ;)

  29. D.... B....

    By far the best Nightwish song

  30. Z.... G....

    I feel a jazz tenderness there and I love it.

  31. E.... V....

    Pure class, Anette is amazing. Her music, nobody can sing like this like her.

    E.... V....

    Edgar Vinicius fatou amore

  32. D.... ....

    Sexy club jazz by Nightwish.

    Have I mentioned I freaking love this band?

  33. C.... ....

    A guy said this song makes him think of me. Idk if I should be flattered or not

  34. m.... ....

    Amazing song! Miss Anette so much!

  35. N.... R....

    Annette excells at this; she should stick to this Jazz kind of songs!

  36. J.... B....

    nw really fuckd up letting anette go, she had the best voice of the three singers so far, so sensual.

  37. M.... M....

    This is probably my favorite slow Nightwish song. It's so poetic. "Intoxicated by a major chord" and "ice cream castles, lips-to-ear rhymes, a slumber deeper than time" are such dreamy, tattoo-worthy lyrics.

  38. c.... b....

    Beautiful 💕

  39. c.... b....

    Hermosa canción

  40. J.... S....

    Great vocals Anette I love you I miss you in Night Wish Dark Passion Play is my favorite album of Night Wish and Imaginaerum is great also 😎

  41. R.... K....

    Is that a saxophone that gives this a noir feel to it?

  42. R.... K....

    What genre would this be considered?

    R.... K....

    gothic jazz.

  43. L.... ....

    I wish they would make more songs that are "outside of their genre" like this, it's great

    L.... ....

    Listen to "Where were you last night"

    L.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwTtDr5JPz4

    L.... ....

    @Jh4wk TOW missile That's a cover, though.

  44. k.... r....

    what an song love it so much and love singing it lol #YOLO

  45. J.... C....

    Dark jazz is so beautiful

  46. Y.... J....

    superbe !!!

  47. T.... F....

    song always sounded to me like it could played in the Tower of terror at Disney world, lol

  48. T.... ....

    There is no other gothic jazz song like it. I love this piece.

  49. A.... N....

    So no one's going to mention how the piano intro sounds note for note almost exactly the same as the intro to Enemy Within, by Arch Enemy?

  50. G.... M....

    I envision a heroine, held captive by a villain, who forces her to softly waltz with him, just to illustrate his control over her. As the song progresses, he elaborates his plan if the hero of our story cannot get to him in time. The heroine asks, why he's telling her all this, until she feels her temperature feeling flushed, her heart racing, her hands shaking, her vision blurring. 3:55 -She's been poisoned! Our hero just gets there in time, to catch her collapsing body. The question is, will he catch the villain, or save his companion in the mere moments he has left with her?

  51. N.... ....

    Annette's Best !!

  52. F.... R....

    The last masterpiece of Nightwish.

  53. I.... J....

    Annette's best song.

  54. O.... C....

    Extraordinaire ! Du grand Art. Bravo.

  55. L.... S....

    Best song to listen to in a rainy day while drinking a hot coffee.

  56. D.... ....

    who fits this song better. Betty Boop or Jessica Rabbit

    D.... ....

    D1m3bagd of the two given choices, Jessica rabbit.

    D.... ....

    jessica rabbit hands down, no contest

  57. P.... J....

    This song and Storytime are Annete's songs IMHO

  58. L.... ....

    Shit. I miss Annete voice. She was such a great singer.

    I love her contribution to the band.

    L.... ....

    @Der Schurkinist I could not say for this song, but Marko does the male vocals on Poet and the Pendulum.

    L.... ....

    @Saestrol i disagree highly this songs were made for anette, floor is very versatile but the softness and chill feelings that anette brings those songs is something floor couldn't add Or reach.

    L.... ....

    @Morticia Moonflower I feel like she got so much hate because she was different from Tarja, and that fans weren't ready for a singer that was less operatic. However, that's only my opinion.

    L.... ....

    @AriochStarr and Amaranth!

  59. V.... V....

    I loved this bit in the Imagenarium film, so dark and so deep....very appealing.

  60. L.... L....

    ONLY THE WEAK ARE NOT LONELY!

  61. s.... ....

    only the weak
    are not lonely.

  62. t.... ....

    This was my unofficial first dance at my wedding. We had a first dance that was kinda meh but when this came on my hubby and I started dancing and it was like a movie where the whole floor cleared and it was just us for the whole song.

    t.... ....

    thanx for sharing , it sounds so beautiful ... in  love myself and thinkin of marriage

    t.... ....

    thaaeroprincess87 yeah first dance to gothic jazz sounds interesting.

    t.... ....

    This song was indeed featured in "a movie" as you say, its: Imaginaerum (2012), (beautifully visually rendering Slow, Love, Slow) that may initially appear to be a kids movie, however its an artsy well done adult fantasy movie, with music by Nightwish, with quite the serious scary subject matter,...set in a chilling winter storm it is a fathers' internal battle for his very mind and struggle for his sanity, life, and to remember his daughter, against the ugly behemoth monster of,...dementia!, if you haven't seen it treat yourself to it, its really good!! :)

  63. x.... ....

    My favorite song of this album

  64. D.... G....

    Anyone else think of the movie scene as their listening?

    D.... G....

    I always do!

    D.... G....

    With Anette vamping on Tuomas' piano? For sure.

  65. d.... m....

    Foi um dia perfeito com a tarja , agora ta a Floor uma tremenda vocalista tbm , mais tava mil vezes melhor ela no after , esses caras não deixam as mulheres cantar . Forevermore Tarja Turunen

  66. M.... K....

    Gothic jazz was created rhis day :)

    M.... K....

    Symphonic Jazz :)

    M.... K....

    Marine Kee Nightwish never was gothic??...

    M.... K....

    Dark Cabaret xD

    M.... K....

    it's more like Blues

  67. J.... D....

    Does anyone know of any other songs/bands/musicians that have a similar feel to this? You know, this kind of dark, slow jazz (is the best way I can describe it) I'm struggling to find anything else like it.

    J.... D....

    bohren.

    J.... D....

    awesome. I can't stop listening to them.

    J.... D....

    TDArulesclub4
    Voltaire is a GREAT suggestion for that kind of thing.

    J.... D....

    OST of Iron Sky (2012). It's a low budget movie yet it's a great movie. I hope they release the sequel next year.

  68. D.... R....

    mds, voltei no tempo.. que incrível!

  69. L.... ....

    Shit gets real at 3:42

  70. F.... V....

    This is the best Annette-song hands down.

    F.... V....

    I think Anette's Masterpiece was The Heart Asks Pleasure First... thought you could argue that's not a NIghtwish original but still.

    F.... V....

    This isn't Annette. it's Floor Jansen.

    F.... V....

    It's definitely not floor. The voice isn't even similar and Floor wasn't in the band when they released Imaginaerum.@Devin James

    F.... V....

    Devin James False. Floor did not join the band until 2013 and Imaginaerum is from 2011. If you think this sounds remotely like Floor, it means you've never even heard her sing.

    F.... V....

    No, it's not Floor. It's the original version from the Imaginaerum album, so it is Anette. I know, it is hard to believe, but there are a couple of songs in which she actually sounded really good! ^^

  71. B.... ....

    This is a song Amy Lee should cover! This is beautiful!

    B.... ....

    I'd be down for that

    B.... ....

    no, she's in quarantine for being a meme.

    B.... ....

    Yesyesyes

    B.... ....

    Bunnyismybestie yeshhhhhh

    B.... ....

    spagetti001 lol

  72. A.... C....

    castlevania

  73. E.... F....

    It sounds like jazz,but made by fairies...

    E.... F....

    It sounds like blues, I think

    E.... F....

    There's a scene in "Fantastic beasts and where to find them" where there's a pixie/fairy/elf-thingy singing "jazz". This song would've been perfect for that scene.

    E.... F....

    @Sergio Zamorano it's perfect in the imagrnarium movie

    E.... F....

    @chris carr ecco cosa hanno perso i Nightwish una voce angelica

    E.... F....

    Devin Townsends "Casualties of Cool", for example Moon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXHCrwKU4Qc&t=1260s) has a similar vibe to it.

  74. G.... H....

    Nostalgia!!!

  75. T.... r....

    This should be the new James Bond intro :O

    T.... r....

    +Matennaai6r With Anette as the new Bond girl? I bet Marco could do a would villian laugh and all! ahahahaha I'd pay to see a Bond movie with an all-Nightwish OST indeed : )

    T.... r....

    +Augustus077 Doesn't Scaretale @ 5:30 sound evil enough? :)

  76. C.... G....

    Man!!! this song is fantastic!!!

  77. A.... H....

    THERE IS ONLY ONE SONG ONE SONG THAT I COULD DIE TO AND THIS IS IT THIS MADE ME GO I AM DONE NOTHING ELSE LEFT
    THIS IS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT

    ALSO THEY NEED TO COME TO NEW ZEALAND

    A.... H....

    @Alyssa Hill They did. It was excellent

    A.... H....

    Yea I am going to aussie in Jan fr them

    yay floor

    A.... H....

    @Alyssa Hill Floor is amazing. Total girl crush!

    A.... H....

    Yea I know right

  78. D.... ....

    the beginning part the instrumental reminds me of some song featured on "feet of flames"

  79. j.... ....

    Can't avoid thinking about a night club or a noir film when listening to this.

    j.... ....

    +jhl248 Probably because it's written with major cool jazz influence.

    j.... ....

    Something like Moonwalker or something.
    For some reason this song totally reminds me of True Lies or Terminator Judgment Day. No idea why!

    j.... ....

    Same. A lady dressed in black dancing slowly among dim lights

  80. A.... F....

    This song reminds me when with my girlfriend Evelyn and I make the love... Ohhh, I love her above all else...

    A.... F....

    @Alexis Fernández Awww! That's so sweet :)

    A.... F....

    +Alexis Fernández I really didn't need to know that man, *TMI*

    A.... F....

    steamy.

    A.... F....

    Did u break up?

    A.... F....

    And why should we want to know that?

  81. C.... P....

    Annette is by far better than Tarja, her voice is so much more likeable. Both are good but Annette is definitely superior.

  82. N.... V....

    I imagine a scene on the Titanic ship..

    N.... V....

    @***** A possibility. 

    N.... V....

    +Morph Verse this song fits perfectly

    N.... V....

    @Angela gp Indeed.

    N.... V....

    +Morph Verse me to💋!!

    N.... V....

    it would definitely make it a better movie.

  83. N.... M....

    👌🏻

  84. N.... N....

    This song is the only one that fits her voice

    N.... N....

    +Nemo Nobody All of the songs with Annette fit her voice.

    N.... N....

    A few others do that as well, for example "Turn Loose the Mermaids" or "Amaranth" (although the later sounds better when Floor sings it).

    N.... N....

    "The heart asks pleasure first" begs to differ.

  85. P.... V....

    This is what my GF says to me when we are having sex

    P.... V....

    +Pepe Vargas
    I think she is calling you weak

    P.... V....

    Absolutely no one wanted to know this

    P.... V....

    had no idea that your hand could talk 😁😁😁

    P.... V....

    I feel sorry for your girlfriend. Wanking regularly and direclty beforehand can do wonders for the fast shot fraction though ;-)

    P.... V....

    r/ihavesex

  86. F.... l....

    This song reminds me of Esme Squalor from a series of unfortunate events, I Like the the sexy, warm, jazzy appeal. This fits Esme Squalor A-lot. :)

    F.... l....

    I completely agree

  87. S.... A....

    the movie is awesome

  88. I.... K....

    Ангел мой

  89. I.... K....

    Ангел мой

  90. E.... E....

    I cry when I watch this movie. I love it so much, and it's beautiful. It's a type of artwork. I love it. I think this might have been my favorite song from it. It's so beautiful, and has the sexy, warm, jazzy appeal. It's wonderful! I love Nightwish, and i'll listen to them no matter what. :)

    E.... E....

    What movie are you talking about?

    E.... E....

    @Bee Master I found it in a Morrison's the other week. Already had a copy, but it was there. Which was nice.

    E.... E....

    Alice Eldritch imaginarium

  91. T.... M....

    Norwegian Metal Singer PELEK does a wicked cover of this.

    T.... M....

    +Jen Dowie Thats the point... he's a metal singer and put a metal twist to the song

    T.... M....

    @Drew Hardin I know, but it's meant to be loungey, calm...PeleK does not do calm!

    T.... M....

    Again: Can I get the link?

    T.... M....

    @Michael Oakes Just type in the song title and PeleK into the YouTube search bar. It'll be right there

    T.... M....

    His vocals are good, but simply don't fit with the material.

  92. M.... O....

    This song has almost a noir lounge singer vibe...

    M.... O....

    Yes it does and Tarja could have never pulled off like Annette did

    M.... O....

    Tarja is opera. Anette is pop. There is no competition. Tarja is my preferred singer.

    M.... O....

    @Michael Oakes
    If you truly cared for opera, you'd never say Tarja is your preferred singer. You're not actually impressing anyone, her voice is ok, but nothing out of this world.

    M.... O....

    @Marcelino Rodrigues I don't care for opera at all. I find this song sexy and cool. Why would I care for opera? Opera is depressing sounding. This is soulful and worth listening to.

    M.... O....

    @Gerald Getskow Can we not argue about this shit again? Anette has a voice better suited for this cabaret-like song. That's why Tuomas wrote it for her and not for Tarja. Period.

  93. S.... ....

    Ihmettelen, ymmärrättekö totuuden nyt? muistatko meitä? 

  94. A.... h....

    I was thinking , that Nightwish cant exist without Tarja- but Annette is also awesome:-)

    A.... h....

    @*****: Whoa what was the reason behind that decision now? 

    A.... h....

    I'm liking gammaray4evrr's explanation a lot better than yours FlapFlap. :P 

    A.... h....

    I know thats alright. I was just asking a question earlier cause I didn't hear about AO getting fire until you guys mentioned it. Not to mention I was saying gammarays's  point was better worded since he approached the topic from more of an unbiased standpoint. I'm not arguing with your point; I'm just commenting on it. ;)

  95. D.... S....

    What movie is everyone talking about?

    D.... S....

    @Rasmus Marttila search the movie on yify

    D.... S....

    Am i a total noob if I ask what yify means?

    D.... S....

    @Rasmus Marttila it is a site that you can download movies..its great :)

    D.... S....

    @Lvalentine gr  I'll consider such illegalities ;)

    D.... S....

    @***** Link please?

  96. E.... ....

    jazzy :)

  97. M.... ....

    this song is pretty hot.

  98. R.... V....

    It's Imaginaerum.
