It may be underrated because it's a metal band, and this is far from what metal people typically like to listen. They rather listen some kick-ass heavy stuff. But of the early NW songs, this gives the singer really the whole visibility, while the band is behind, same as in Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan.

@@Aurinkohirvi absolutely my take on it too..awfully sad though, because metal ballads are usually so beautiful...and without discounting the rest of the band , to me Tarja was always the main attraction and having as little background noise as possible helps to bring her splendor to the fore for everyone to fully appreciate...when i first heard her voice back in the late 1990s, my jaw dropped..and she still amazes me with each new performance

This is one of the most emotional and beautiful songs I know. And that includes also no-Nightwish songs. "Kuolema tekee taiteilijan" in Taubertal and in End of an Era is that same. Actually Tarja did also very nice "Ave Maria" version just after NW time...I believe in year 2006 in Sibelius Hall Lahti. That is pretty close to original in German language and only piano as instrumental part.

Nightwish is just more than Floor's great voice and presence. I have started my journey when I heard Nightwish's Lista Top40 program (what you can find from KZfaq). Tarja's Era was just amazing and everytime I hear these old ones from cd they bring memories of my past and my growth as well. Nowadays Floor gets the first attach to people and that's amazing too. I just love Nightwish, no matter who sings. It's foolish to compare all three great ladies in front of this band, they all are my heroes, nearly all my adult life... Thank you for your reviews!

All Nightwish singers have pretty much same vocal range, it's a non-issue when talking about them. Well, I'm in the opinion that all Tarja's songs are not good for Floor, but Floor fans would of course disagree. I also have a hunch Swanheart may be too personal song for Tuomas, and it may have to do with Tarja, too. Maybe he doesn't want it be sung by someone else.

My favorite vocalist song in Nighwish: this and "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" gives the stage for the vocalist. And this is for classical vocals while Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan is for contemporary style. I think the lyrics are again about Tuomas and his failure in real life love: he admittedly calls himself a poet in his songs. Song's title obviously tells he has a swan's heart, but the lyrics tell he is otherwise Ugly Duckling, and he is envious to all those beautiful people (as this is Tuomas, it probably also means social skills in addition to physical attractivenes). "All those beautiful people, I want to have them all. All those porcelain models, if only I could make them fall." He seems to think that those beautiful people though, are hollow inside, it would show if he coule make them fall. "In my world love is for poets, never the famous balcony scene. Just a dying faith on the heaven’s gate." This sounds like a love interest been rejected, or love that is beyond his reach. He'll never get the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene. He'll just has a dying faith, on the gate of his heaven. Makes you think, he is close to his love interest, but shut outside. "Tonight another morn, for the lonely one is born." Here he establishes his path will be a lonely one.

I suppose the insults are directed to the "Wishmaster" song in End of an Era, where she squats once and shakes her hips. Hip shaking Tarja does actually quite often, still today, and I just love it. I don't find her stage presence any less in End of an Era concert - in fact I think she owns the stage. But interaction with the guys is less than earlier years, although with in Phantom of the Opera she still played the role with Marko. After NW she moves a lot more on the stage... early years she was much stationary, but stage became so familiar to her, she started to move more, nowadays she sometimes has so high energy on stage I call her a "duracell bunny," never stops moving.
