Original Video And Description:

Nightwish perform "Storytime" from SHOWTIME, STORYTIME.

ORDER AT:

SHOWTIME, STORYTIME is out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.

Directed by Ville Lipiäinen.

What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple -- Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows. The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.
And what would be a better way to celebrate the grand finale as to capture the entire show at Wacken Open Air -- the world's biggest heavy metal festival -- for a live DVD/Blu-ray? The live show in the front of 85 000 screaming metalheads was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, filmed with seventeen cameras and has a total duration of 85 minutes.
Mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen states:

"The time has come soon to wrap up the magical & memorable one-and-a-half year `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013! We still have three shows left, one of them being at the legendary Wacken Open Air Metal Festival on the 3rd of August. This show will be something extra special, since it will be released later this year on DVD/Blu-ray, together with a massive `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013 documentary. Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in Nightwish on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film! "

The second disc consists of 120-minute tour documentary 'Please Learn The Setlist in 48 Hours', with no short of drama or overall madness. Also, there is a 16-minute NIGHTWISH Table Hockey Tournament, filmed on tour. On top of this there are two music clips: 'I want my tears back' (Live at Hartwall Arena) and 'Ghost Love Score' (Live in Buenos Aires).

"This is my favorite song. I promise I'm not gonna say that every time." yeah, famous last words. That's what everybody says. And then they say it every time. LOLOL! That's just Nightwish. Every song is my favorite!

[damonbryan]

Nightwish isn't just music. Nightwish is a lifestyle. They don't have fans. They have a family. That's why we are called a Army.

[davidschull]

Nightwish - 7 Days To The Wolves (Live at Wembley Arena) The definition of breakdown... Again.. You just experienced the most powerful Female Vocalist on the planet!

[ganggreen]

It is time for you to meet Troy. I Want My Tears Back, live at Buenos Aires 2018.

[richardmead]

hell dude I`m 69 years old and I`ve seen them all. best band in 40 years bar none

[papaverweg]

Storytime’s theme is “Telling Fairytales” literally everything which reminds you of all the magical things from your youth when life was still great and nothing was impossible. It’s also referring to studio album ‘Once’, when everything was still fine with their 1st female vocalist Tarja. The album before the ‘Dark Passion Play’ (1st album after the dismissal of Tarja and all the good things had turned into bad) Nowadays all the bad things had turned back into good again. He started dreaming again: ‘Imaginaerum’. They found joy again to make music and looks with confidence into his own (and the band’s) future.

Composer and lyricist of the song, Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) has said that "Storytime" is inspired by the 1982 movie The Snowman, the theme of which was previously covered by Nightwish for their Oceanborn album. The idea for the music of "Storytime" was born when Holopainen wondered why no-one had made a remake of the film, and pondered on what his version of the score to the scene in which "Walking in the Air" plays would sound like.

In a teaser text released prior to the release, Holopainen summarized the song: "How would it feel to take a midnight flight with a snowman through the most wondrous landscapes, like in the classic animated Yuletide film?

The meaning of our very existence is created though stories, tales and imagination. They are at the very core of humanity.”

The lyrics references several classical pieces of fiction concerning imagination, including the character of Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The lyrics also mention Neverland, the mythical Gaia, the Greek primordial Earth goddess.

Great reaction! Go with this one "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean - Live In Buenos Aires" ... that will be your (next) favorite song LOL !!

[blackpienus]

Another Nightwish song that will make you feel happy inside is 'I want my tears back' (live in Buenos Aires).

[frenkwd]

The Nightwish Army is very large.
And they're all loyal to NW.
So welcome to the rabbit hole.

[Thorgrim]

Yes, Wacken 2013. 4th reaction "Romanticide" from the same show. Tuomas wrote this song with inspiration from a famous Christmas cartoon from the 80's called "The Snowman". It is basically a song about the fantasy of youth and storytelling in general. The lyrics mention Peter Pan and also Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Tuomas plays almost exclusively Korg keyboards. The children's choir is a taped backing track. Great job again on this one my friend. Peace. 🎶🎶🎶✌

[michaelsargeant]

Every song is my Favorite all 120 plus .There is no bad nightwish song. Tarja Anette or Floor all magnificent .

[Donna-C]

There is an unofficial video of this song which has been edited with the Peter Pan movie. (A quick search will find it) - you’ll like it.

NW also have a song named Pan on their new Human Nature album.
Tuomas said “it’s an ode to human imagination” - the vocal talents and musical composition are amazing!

[johntilghman]

The Live at Wacken 2013, you can do NO wrong for any of the songs from this. It was like magic was in the air that night all audio and video are great.

[stephenclark]

Reactions to Nightwish and Floor Jansen are always the same....total awe and disbelief.

[seanstevenson]

Devil and the deep dark ocean. Great reaction as usual. Keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘

[calanor]

Yeah, it's one of my favorite NW songs 😀 I really like how it features both light and dark, much like many fairy tales did in the olden days! Thanks for the reaction!

[gillandianyt]

At the beginning of this concert in Wacken Open Air, Floor was introduced as a new voice,
she absolutely gave it her all, amazing performance!
She had joined them at very short notice in the US a few months before.
The band has a backing track by a London Philharmonic Orchestra, with choir as well. 
(EDITED)
The way they all play their part is magical.
Glad that you've discovered them too.

[ryandellavecchia]

“I want my tears back” live at Buenos Aires. Get a little taste of Troy who you haven’t seen yet and a very fun side of floor!

[alleninfinity]

Yes, this whole concert Wacken 2013 rocked, it is when Floor solidified herself with the band and the Nightwish fans. She was just a stand in vocalist during this concert but killed it. You have found the rabbit hole, this band is completely unpredictable and always brilliant. I like some song more than others, but none are bad. Tuomas plays a Korg. She is My Sin, should be next from this concert, or Ghost River.

[metalbabesami]

Romanticide and Ghost River (both from Wacken 2013).
