😊 For this cover I have a bunch people to thank! Let's start with Alexander! The violinist!! :D

Considering all the requests I have revised for this song, It was clear to me that this should be the perfect song to invite a violin in on, and no other then Rybak him self! Alexander is a great writer, composer, singer and actor. Here is some links to his work :D :

★Quentin Cornet, my dear friend and a brilliant re creator of music! He makes instrumentals sounding like heaven /,,/ So thank you Quentin! More music to come!

★Frøy Nilsen, a friend that I've known since high school. A brilliant photographer and an artist. One of the most creative people I have ever known! Thank you so much ^_^

★Vidar Askeland! This is a funny story. I'll try to make it short ^^
When I was along filming for Endless Forms Most Beautiful, this drone pilot came to my location, and wondered if I was soon done filming, cause he needed the location to take picture to a calendar he was working on. This is how that meeting ended up :D

Video edited, arranged, vocal mixing by Marit Minniva Børresen.

Rock on, and keep smiling!😊🙏

Nightwish - "I Want My Tears Back" ( Lyrics )

I want my tears back

The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat

A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone
A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

How the HELL you managed to get Alexander to cover with you is INCREDIBLE! It turned out WAY better than I could have imagined!!! Your voice coupled with that epic violin playing of a real Eurovision winner is a combo that CAN"T be beat!

[granduquexellos]

Rybak covering Nightwish, Am i dreaming? O:

[survivrn]

Minniva's voice + Alexander''s violin + Nightwish's song= SOMETHING AMAZING! I was dreaming about that collaboration! Love all of your work but recently you have very good time. With every friday I am your bigger fan
Greetings from Poland!

Wait Alexander Rybak covered Nightwish? OMG is this for real?

[alexanderlakisov]

You are meant to be the next Nightwish female singer.

[diana]

nice surprise, Alexander is a great artist, you should sing more songs with him, seems you two and Quentin fit perfectly :)

[kimseymour]

I can't stop watching this! Alexander looks like he's having the best time, as do you Minniva! This is epic!

[johanwikman]

It's fantastic to see all the love and effort you put in your videos. Amazing singing, violine playing and you found awsome locations for the video. All love to you Minniva

[barryfilter]

What a GREAT performance from both off you.This version kicks mega ass and will go down as one of the best cover you have ever recorded.

[Tochi.]

This was so much fun to watch!!! Especially from 3:20 to 4:20. EPIC! Everything was amazing. The video, the vocals, the instrumental, the violin... Quentin did a great job with the music and Alexander was outstanding \o/ I have no words, this was EPIC.

[barryfilter]

Did I ever tell you how great this version is, and how much great energy and lust for life you and Alexander are able to generate.
This song makes you want to dance and hug people....really great work.
Listening to it, is like watching sunshine dancing on a field of
Ok enough with the soft touch this is a metal channel :)

[andrewmayo]

One of the best songs off that album. I'd love to see you do this whole album

[eleftheriaC]

Minniva! I loved every second of this video! Your interpretation, your backing vocals, the scenery and ofc Mr Rybak! You should do more collabs together! Great work! Sending positive vibes from Greece, hope you're gonna do more of these gems!

[ernawolf]

О, Рыбак? Здрасте)) Глядишь годноту исполнять начнет

[MikkoRantalainen]

How come algorithm failed to suggest this to me? Alexander Rybak and Minniva covering Nightwish should be pretty easy suggestion considering my view history.

[elif..]

Oh my god ! You are wonderfull . This is one of the best covers ever . Also Alexander was wonderfull, too. And your voice is like an angels . Please write something under my comment . Loves from Turkey.

[MikeMorrinson]

Next: Wishmaster or End of all Hope please

[arcangelace]

Of course alex would say yes to this cover he had a great time on the original so of course it’d be a banger if minniva did a cover cause shes does a great job regardless

[skyguard]

Could you do Edge Of The Blade from Epica

[sammurphy]

Truly Enchanting! My new Metal Heroin ( right up there with Doro & Lita ) has the beautiful ability to sing her heart out in different style 2! 💪👌👏 Ace!
