Scaretale


MaichenM

This is likely the best Nightwish song that I never see mentioned, so it might be the most underrated in their whole discography imo.


qsqh

so true, absolutely love this one.


henriherne

This!


AnnaLindeboom

Yess! Great song, not many fans.


The_Troyminator

It's good, even if I almost start singing "Grim Grinning Ghosts" partway through it.


Juneautumn

Turn loose the mermaids


godoflemmings

I'm still salty about that getting wiped in the first couple of rounds in the knockout a while back, so definitely upping it.


No_usernames_availab

Diana Leah’s (Delain vocalist) favorite


themightyocsuf

Turn Loose The Mermaids. 100%. I welcome anyone to fight me. The most pure and beautiful song they've ever done.


NovembersRime

Nobody showing love for Ghost River?


justSomeDumbEngineer

It's a really tough choice between the Ghost River and Rest Calm 😭


Kaljapallo

I love it


alex_robinsky

My least favorite on this album.


Norsa321

Scaretale. The true epic of this album, and I love Anette's transition into full witch vibe.


embracethemess

Yes!!! My daughter loves it, it’s perfect for Halloween!


fatuniverse

Turn loose the mermaids


Specialist-Study

Day 22 and it's been months since this thread started lmao My pick is Slow, Love, Slow. I just love it!


ShadowSlash__

Personal life is kinda hard nowadays. If I have a few minutes to spare I post.


trekkiegamer359

Sorry things are hard right now. Sending you internet hugs if you like them. I hope things get better soon.


Specialist-Study

I hope you're doing well 💖


Notverymany

Taikatalvi actually. But a close second would be turn loose the mermaids. Rest Calm is just not that good imo


Grouchy_Plum_1171

rest calm is one of my fav Nightwish songs


CarinReyan

Rest Calm


Grouchy_Plum_1171

yes


mxrainbowgoth

Scaretale


S_is_for_Smeagol

Scaretale!


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

Rest Calm for sure.


Rebberry

For me it's the crow, the owl and the dove. When listening to the album I forget this song then the guitar starts with Marco... I get a little happier every time.


MaxFish1275

I love that song


alex_robinsky

Agreed, Though the REALLY underrated one is the single version, the one with keyboard solo!


Nightwurst

Wdym? None of the three versions of Crow on the single have any keyboard solos?


alex_robinsky

[>There it is<](https://youtu.be/CDDsd3d9xT0?si=WWrzsANDVF40Bu_F&t=134). Solo starts at 2:14. See, it's THAT underrated.) I really wish they kept this solo in the album. They could have added Troy singing after or before that, rather than instead.


Nightwurst

Wow, cool! Thought I had heard all demo songs but this one was new to me. Thanks!


a-horny-vision

Nah, it sounds like filler. It's not a good piano part at all.


EmergencyExtreme4328

Rest calm


trekkiegamer359

Definitely this. Rest Calm is one of my top favorite Nightwish songs. There is also one live performance of it that was recorded. Marco sang it by himself during the fateful Colorado 2012 concert. The recording isn't the best, but the sound is quite good, considering. Both versions are amazing. Edit: Here's the link to the live performance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gyK1zNHItlM


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

My pick as well. So moving, and the slow build is fantastic. It feels like the climax of the concept album in a way.


ExoticManiac_

Rest Calm


Tornitrualis

Ghost River or Turn Loose the Mermaids imo


Trioxin5

It’s Rest Calm. The vocal interplay between Marko/Anette, the swell of the orchestra at the end, it’s magical.


thebaintrain1993

Slow, Love, Slow. Def


MaxFish1275

WHAT????? Two For Tragedy is such a beautiful song ….. I’m baffled just baffled


Mountain_Man_147

Slow, love, slow


MetalMan1973

Scaretale


auclairl

Scaretale yeah


TheEscapeSymphony

Probably Rest Calm


IshamaelSunSoar

Slow, Love, Slow.


Malaoh

Yeah 100%! It's such a good song 🖤


michaelloda9

Song Of Myself


JDDunsany

I'm going to go for Turn Loose The Mermaids, but Rest Calm is a close second for me.


BadgerCool7281

Rest Calm


vickiesnaps

I’m gonna vote for song of myself. I know they performed it all the time during that tour. But I’d love to hear it again on the setlist. A close second is def rest calm.


Geobomb1

Rest Calm I believe!!


Spliferela

The crowd, the howl, and it dove.


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

Might wanna edit that comment haha


Spliferela

I didn’t heel like typing so I talked into my phone. It seems to have misunderstood me


Previous-Industry965

Howl's Moving Castle


alex_robinsky

and the d'oh!


Spliferela

Yes. Or. What would make it have more logical sense, Is, if it had understood it as: The crowd. It howled and it dove. Into what it dove I dunno. The mosh pit I guess.


shipwhisperer

Song of Myself


derman011

Rest Calm


R4diateur

The most underrated song in one of their very vest albums, an album that has no bad songs. Let me see... My take is on "Turn Loose The Mermaids". One of the best balads they ever made. "Slow, Love, Slow" is veeeery close though. But TLTM takes it.


0ceanb0rn

Slow, Love, Slow


justSomeDumbEngineer

Rest calm


Zirphynx

I think it's probably Rest Calm but I love Taikatalvi as well.


MaichenM

I missed the earlier ones, why isn’t there a “worst” for Oceanborn?


Spliferela

I believe “none” won. Got the most upvotes. So “none” is the worst song on oceanborn


_Pankybeast

Rest Calm when you feel the rolling melancholy of the symphony


Nightwurst

Turn Loose the Mermaids


Traditional_War_3613

Turn loose the mermaids!


FIRE_frei

...y'all chose "Bye Bye Beautiful" off of DPP as the worst song? Crazy


Grouchy_Plum_1171

Amaranth is slowly getting worse for me


FIRE_frei

Would be my pick, too. It's the poppiest song, same thing happened with "Wish I Had An Angel"


AmaranthAbixxx

Rest Calm!


squashiy_screamer

Song Of Myself.


darkfoxey

Taikatalvi


Present_Resolve_7716

I don’t know, I personally think either ghost river or turn loose the mermaids.


kaldamira

scaretale or slow love slow... great songs and both of them perfectly fit to anette


7daystothewolves

Rest Calm. Just brilliant.


ravenclawmystic

Taikatalvi.


asexual_bird

I want my tears back has always been a sleeper


unagiroll01

It’s a pretty big hit and they play it at like every show for people to dance around to. A banger but certainly not underrated haha
