Song lyrics
6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own
She walks alone but not without her name

Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field

Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape, edenbeam
We kill with her own loving heart 

Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field

mmmm perhaps! But it sounds like tuomas blames himself (and/or the rest of nightwish) for the departure or changing of her!! That seems a little wird to me!

I havent heard the song (bad moderator, bad!) but I like the lyrics a lot! Is the new singer good?

Overall this song is a little too slow for my liking & I miss Tarja's powerful operatic vocals. Annette has a nice voice though so I'm looking forward to their new album. =)

Having heard it I can say that it is very catchy however Annette sounds a bit too much like Sharon den Adel(*spits*) for my liking!!

Its a good voice however I dont think it is really strong enough for NW songs, unless of course NW become WT clones!

I'll reserve judgement on the whole thing till I hear the album

Eva is a touching ballad, Anettes voice and style is completely different from tarja's and warrants judging on its own merit. Anette sounds positively lovely. The lyrics are typically good, but I feel that they could be a little tighter and the orchestral element is fantastic but takes over and gives emmpu, marco and the gang little to do.

This is such a beautiful song...

Personally, I much prefer Tarja's vocals to Annette's, but Annette's voice works very well in this song. I just don't get tired of listening to the melody of this song...sooo pretty.

Beautiful song, very moving. It was very well chosen to introduce Anette., it almost made me cry ! Looks like Tuomas still thinks innocence can save the world

Perfect. Annette's got a great voice, and the lyrics are really beautiful.

Congratulations to Nightwish !!

I don't think it's about Tarja. I think it's about an innocent little girl that gets bullied in school. Maybe someone Tuomas bullied in his childhood and feels bad about now?

Lovely song, so full of emotion.
And, in my opinion, Tarja and Anette both have beautiful, yet uncomparable voices. Personally, I was kinda getting bored with the old NW and this new album is refreshingly awesome. Nice work Nightwish!

Wasn't Tarja kicked out of the band? I though she was because she would skip concerts to go hang out with friends. That's just what I read. Beautiful song!
