The Village Recorder

Hello!

This week I have been recording more vocals in amazing studio here in LA.

3 1 2 34 1 2 3

The studio is called The Village.

1 1 2 32 1 2 35 1 2

It is nice to know how many really famous artists and bands have been recording their albums in this legendary place.
Impressive list including Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Slipknot, Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Tori Amos, RHCP, Aerosmith, Mariah Carey etc.
I have had a lot of fun to walk around the house and to feel the history of the studio hanging on its walls.

7 1

Every corner has a special memory…

Some of you might know that when I was a teenager I admired Whitney Houston. It’s very nice to find out that the Bodyguard soundtrack was recorded here in the same studio where I am singing :)

6 1 2

But not everything is hanging on the walls. Guns N´Roses drummer came to say hello in a break during their recordings next door ;)

I read in the blog and forum that you are trying to guess what is the cover I recorded for the album.

If I should have more time, this might be a great opportunity to do a new contest… Maybe we can do something similar, but just for fun this time.

Interesting discovery was to learn that the album where the cover is taken from, was also recorded at The Village! As I told you before, the original song has lots of backing vocals.
I can say without a doubt that the song is a “classic”. I decided to cover it after listening to it hundreds of times in the Finnish radio. I never performed the song before MWS sessions. It is not a ballad…

Every day, including Saturdays and Sundays we continue mixing the album with Slamm at Remote Control.

“Lost Northern Star”, “Oasis” and “Ciarán’s Well” are now done.

With love,
Tarja

    Ms. Turunen,

    I would be lying to you if I did not say I am extremeley excited to hear your new album! After Nightwish going on without you, I, like you, was shocked and excessivley confused as to why. I am nothing but relieved and pleased to hear that you are going solo!

    Know that this fan of yours is going to faithfully follow your career for years ahead and I truly hope that I will become just one of your many future fans. If you go on tour, I hope you come to the States. Good luck with your cd Tarja, we all love you!

    From the States,
    Jackie

    “Ciarán’s Well” sounds intriguing! Really interesting! o.O :D

    I guess the song comes from the supposable healing powers of the water from the well. There is a festival as well, according to a site I found about this well. :)

    A contest? Yes! You should do that. :D

  5. Rakeli Says:

    Yay uou have some of the song finished! That is realy cool!
    We all are counting the days until we will have MWS in our hands!
    Nice studio you are singing now! I thing is great to step in the same place where some other great singers and bands were!;)
    Now there is one more name on that list! I want to see your award on that wall too!;)

    Hugs

  6. Karina Says:

    Hey Tarja, thanks for keeping us up-to-date concerning the recording process. I must admit, you make me curious about the cover song. :P
    If it had been played on the radio that often, it must be a song everybody knows. My guess would be a Queen song – maybe Bohemian Rhapsody because it is a classic and has loads of backing vocals. :)
    Anyway, keep up your work – everybody is waiting for your Soloalbum.
    All the best! *hugs*

  7. Black_Kitty Says:

    Hello Tarja, thanks for the update!
    Sooo, the song is a classic, not a ballad… hmmmmm I must think about it… Rock on!\m/

  8. Carina Says:

    Hi Tarja!

    It’s nice to see that everything is going so well and that you’re really enjoying what you are doing!
    I can’t wait to hear to your new work! It seems to be wonderful!

    Wish you good luck with your new Cd and career!

    Love your voice!!
    Hope you come to Argentina soon :) i really want to see you on stage :)

    Love You!!

  9. Disgraced Says:

    Ok, I understood that when it’s full night here I must come to the blog ‘cuz almost surely I’ll find news!
    I searched the website of the village studio recordings but there are tonnz of artists listed there, I mean those who recorded there… pretty difficult to pick come options to solve the riddle.
    Some little help? Old song? Not so old? a liiiiitle hint about the style (of the original)? is it famous?
    Please tarja, try to understand and have mercy on us!
    —> only a joke, you ought to be busy as hell, so do your things and ignore this!

  10. Leen aka Silver_Wings (Belgium) Says:

    Nice you’re doing so well in LA :)

    I might do a little research about the cover song, but it seems like a lot of artists recorded something at The village so it’s still gonna be very hard

    October is getting close, I really can’t wait much longer
    -xxx…

  11. Fantasmic Says:

    ouch…thank You for the news Tarja! It’s great to hear from You even smth at the beautifull night…and…Once more: Thank You…

    Antes que todo es un placer hablarte en castellano, dos veces te vi, la primera en el show de The Rasmus en Obras (en ese entonces aun no hablabas mucho español y me colgué hablando con Marcelo) y la segunda en Belgrano.
    Me alegra que estes trabajando tan duro en el nuevo disco. Esperaremos con paciencia…

    Stay heavy!

    Saludos, Rubén.

  17. rusalemag Says:

    Hello Tarja.
    If I have correctly understood you, offered contest will entertain us more than you. Very kindly from your side to think of us, working thus without days off. If someone asks me, I, of course, welcome any competition. Now at me on mind some songs, after their listening I will inform the version. Thanks you, Tarja.

  18. Tash Says:

    I bet it’s wonderful to be working in such an amazing place. I love that window you’re stood in front of! If your songs reflect half of the beauty of the places you’ve been to, we’ll be in for one kickass album. But then, we know that anyway.
    Hmm, a classic? That implies that we’re gonna kick ourselves for not guessing it when we find out, you tease. ;)
    Take care!
    xXx

  19. Sofía Says:

    OMG, great studio ^^
    I’m very intrigued in all songs from MWS. Can’t wait for 9th November. It will be such a CD, I’m sure about that ;) . And now I’m crazy about the cover xD. I wish I could sleep and woke up the day MWS comes out, jaja.
    Love you!

  20. Ingrid Says:

    Tarja for president ;)
    hehehehehe

    You are amazing…
    Your album will be very good!!
    I want to hear something…
    Please, post any sample to us!!
    Kisses

  21. rusalemag Says:

    Hello Tarja again.
    How many at me attempts? So, the first version: «I’m Your Baby Tonight» Whitney Houston. Backing vocals I did not consider, but it is a lot of them. It is exact not a ballad. This song twisted on radio of thousand times not only in Finland, but also worldwide in the early nineties. «I can say without a doubt that the song is a «classic».» I will go, to other songs I will listen, well?

    Hello Tarja!
    Those pictures from you are wonderful :D as always…
    It’s very nice that you have time to tell us what you are doing and everything like that :) Have a good time!

    See you! :)

  48. rusalemag Says:

    Hello Tarja.
    How you feel yourself? You work, and we have a good time between the affairs.
    At first it was difficult to me to represent, that you sing a song with SUCH text («I’m Your Baby Tonight»), but then I have recalled photos of characters MWS and «the dream became a reality». Excuse me. Whitney H. In a video clip on this song has left on a motorcycle, but yours «storm» winter, therefore you could “dissect” on snowmobile! To me this song would not come to a head, but you SO looked at disks WH.
    I not the expert on creativity of the majority artists and bands which you mention. I have all disks M.Carey, but almost all her hits – ballads (though and in style «soul»). Because of you, I cannot listen to them (also as well as «Rammstein»). «Queen» seldom recorded in LA, but I all the same will assume, that it can be «It ` s a hard life» – one of my favorites songs. Or «All God ` s people», it is recorded, most likely, in Montreux. «A winter ` s tale» it is recorded in the same place, but under the name could suit for MWS.
    Improbably, my Russian fellow countrymen too “were noted” in yours «The village», but they for the present should study long at you (in absentia). There are still ideas …

    With much love,

  50. rosalie Says:

    hey Tarja! nice pics, as always :) I really wonder what is the song you cover… if it’s not a ballad, maybe it’s rock/metal genre? and as other people said, a MWS tour DVD would be… awesome! :D just hope you’ll release one ;)
    take care, angel!

    I LOVE the pictures ! :D You are always soo cute !

    And you have already finished more songs ! That is just great :D
    I would love to see you soon my angel !

    With all my love, Hanna

  52. DM Lucia Says:

    I think this idea of a new contest is brilliant, although I couldn’t guess, considering I’m not from Finland hehe. I have an idea of a contest for you, here it goes: willing fans record something they really like, be it a film score, a classic one, anything. we record it (vocally or on another instrument) and sent it to you via e-mail or postal service. You choose the first 5 recordings which impressed you the most and give us a call, or whatever you feel like doing :) best wishes dear

  53. Matias Says:

    Tarja, necesito escucharte!!!!!! siempre traes paz a mi alma^^

    You’re de best!!!!! we need u voice right now!!!! xD

    besos enorrrrrrrrrmesssssssssss aca en el sur te queremos mucho!!!

    God bless u!

  54. Dione Says:

    That was really interesting! The contest idea
    is good . I’m from Finland but I don’t still
    have a clue! “classic” but not ballad? It could
    be anything!
    Those pictures were great! It’s more interesting
    to read this blog if you can see some pictures too! :D

  59. karlah (spain) Says:

    Tarja,

    The studios you are working in look magnificent! And of course the pictures of you are just as beautiful. Wow, you’re following in the footsteps of legends!

    I really can’t wait to hear My Winter Storm. I’ve recently bought Henkays Ikuisuudesta – I’ve had a brief listen to it (it’s not Christmas yet!) and I think it sounds fantastic! I’ll be listening to alot of that over Christmas!

    Love you lots,

    Your smiles are contagious,

    P.S. I’ve come across a MySpace profile that claims to be your “Official” page. I don’t know if it is yours or not, because I know you’ve previously said that you communicate with fans through the forum.

    Love you!!!!!!!!

  67. Sarah Says:

    Hi Tarja! hm…a classic song but not a ballade………hm……..that´s difficult.
    Can you sing “I will always love you” of Whitney Houston? It´s a great song.
    Is it a song of her you cover? I thing it is a great feeling to record in the same studio, where she recorded songs, isn´t it? It must be fantastic.
    I´m so curious about MWS. I can´t wait. I must have it. I must watch the video of “I walk alone”. It is so great to be your fan!!! Your the BEST!!!
    Love and kisses
    Yours Sarah ;-)

    I was gonna suggest a Queen cover, but as someone here said that they never recorded at The Village, then I guess Queen is out of the question… I’m gonna take a wild guess here, and suggest that it was a Pink Floyd song that you covered, but since I’m not so familiar with their music I’m not gonna say which song it could’ve been.

    So, I see more songs have been finished… that’s supposed to mean that the album is near completion!! Can’t wait to have it in my hands!

    Well Tarja, I hope you’re enjoying the rest of the process as much as we’re enjoying reading about it! I can see you’re getting a real kick out of it and that you probably learnt more in this single experience than in a lifetime!

    Take care, God Bless! ^_^

  71. Diana Says:

    Cris, yeah, I said that… (“I thought that maybe, the song will be “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen, but, Queen never recorded at the Village Studios……
    so, can’t be “Bohemian Rhapsody”….”)…..

    I was searching for a list of “number ones” songs recorded at The Village….but only found a list of singers and bands which recorded there….
    And, Queen weren’t in that list….
    That’s why I said goodbye to a Queen cover…..

    Buuuuuut……… haha…

    I’m still saying that maybe, it’ll be a Guns N’ Roses’s song….
    or one by The Doors….??
    “Another brick in the wall” by Pink Floyd??
    “Satisfaction” by Rolling Stones??
    “Wonderwall” by Oasis??
    “I will always love you” by Whitney Houston??
    “Dream on” by Aerosmith?? (I love this one!!) or “Cryin’” or “Crazy”??
    “Don’t speak” by No Doubt??
    “Knocking on heaven’s door” by Guns N’ Roses??
    Johnny Cash?
    Bob Dylan?
    Peter Gabriel?
    KISS?
    No Doubt?
    Ozzy Osbourne?
    Korn?

    Some help?? Please Princess….. :D

    Kisses for you, and take care!!

    God bless you!!

  73. Judith Says:

    hi Tarja!
    I’m curious on the cover song, but I think guessing is senseless since I doubtlessly won’t find it out, anyway. but I look forward to it.
    did you ever listen to the cover of “streets of philadelphia” by liv kristine? she did that for her solo album “enter my religion” and it’s a great piece of work. would be something for you as well, I think. you could do a project wiht liv kristine anyway, that would be my dream – my favourite singers together in one project =)
    you look beautiful on all those pictures, so happy and somehow sparkling.
    kisses

    are you guys just talking about the title or what the hell did i miss? :(

  88. Marc Says:

    Tarja,

    I LOVE the new song, “I Walk Alone!” And I cannot wait to buy/listen/indulge in the new album! The new song is dark, melodic, and sufficiently abstract (or not) to affect thoughts of several things from your journey since October 2005. Maybe this is not what the song is about, but it makes me think of…

    “I left a thorn under your bed, I’m never gone” (leaving a thorn in the Nightwish legacy?)

    “I walk alone, Every step I take, I walk alone, My Winter storm
    Holding me awake it’s never gone, When I walk alone”

    The winter storm you endured begining in late 2005 and in the ensuing year or more after the terrible way you were treated. Since then you have walked alone in your solo career (with the assistance of many others, not the least has been Marcelo), taking on the world of music with great success.

    And perhaps one of the most interesting set of lyrics:

    “Go tell the world I’m still around, I didn’t fly I’m coming down, You are the wind the only sound, A whisper in my heart, When hope is torn apart”

    You didn’t simply fly away never to be heard from again. You are a constant presence in the world. The former is a [passing] wind, only a whisper now after hope was torn apart (your hopes and those of your fans?).

    The last line in that verse: “And no one can save you.” I will have to ponder. It is ominous, dark, and suggestive.

    Ok, a few thoughts that may be far off the mark; only you know. In any case I am thrilled with this new song! It may be many things but most of all it is you!!!! Another masterpiece from the master herself!

    So great to hear a sample of the coming album. Keep up the oustanding work! You are the best!

  89. the_riddler Says:

    Eres una DIOSA!!!

    I Walk Alone es simplemente maravillosa, nunca he escuchado tema así tan… JODIDAMENTE GRANDIOSO!!

    (perdoname por la palabra xD)

    Eres la número uno y eso no lo va a cambiar nadie ;)

    Esperamos ansiosos My Winter Storm, ahora más que nunca :lol:

  90. Alexis (México) Says:

    OMG OMG OMG Thank you so much Tarja for not dissapointing us!!! I walk alone is great and if you take into consideration that sigles tend to be some of the weakest songs in a record, I’m sure it will be an amazing one. Can’t wait!! :D

  91. Cris (La Negra del Foro Oficial) Says:

    Where the heck is that song?!?!?!?!?! I’m driving myself crazy trying to find it!!! Someone, please… HELP!! :(

    Thank you in advance!

  92. Cris (La Negra del Foro Oficial) Says:

  96. Carrie Says:

    Hello Tarja !

    Thanks for all the updates and pictures.
    A COVER SONG ? A “classic” with lots of backing vocals recorded at The Village and which is not a balad…
    Well..

    Maybe MADONNA : “LIKE A PRAYER” ?

    => lots of backing vocals in this song that is not a balad and – for me – ;-) a “classic”. But I don’t know if it was recorded at The Village even if I know Madonna did !
    Did I win ??? ;-)

    Or, PINK FLOYD = “ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL” ?

    And can I suggest you a song ? “Hallelujah” Jeff Buckley. I’m sure you would sing it amazingly !
    Anyway, thanks for the updates and Pictures. We’re still very impatient to listen to the new songs !

    With love,
    Carrie

  97. Devora(Bulgaria) Says:

    Tarja, SUURET KIITOKSET!!!!!!!!

    :D :D :D

    As you already know, your fans have heard “I Walk ALone” thanks to the Finnish radio-YleX – a Finnish girl recorded and shared the song with all of us when it aired on September 4th, 2007 !

    I can happily say that “I Walk Alone” is such a magical song!!!!!!!!!! It is great!!!

    The lyrics are so emotional, as if you’re singing this song to all of us-your loyal fans!!!

    The music is wonderful-those giutar riffs are so strong and nice ;)

    And your Voice?I think your Voice is your best weapon-it enchants people all over the world!!!I love your Operatic vocals in “I Walk Alone”, as does all your fanbase, and that’s the right choice-to keep the Operatic vocals in your own Album!!!
    We all know Tuomas didn’t let you sing in an Operatic way in “Century Child” and “Once” so now finally you are free to show us your Lyrical voice ;)

    THANK YOU!!!Tarja!!!You’re such a gifted musician!!!!!!I am proud ot be one of your fans!!!!!!!Your Voice always touches my soul…your enchating Voice :D

    SPECIAL HUGS TO YOU FROM BULGARIA,
    ~Devora!

    I hear this song thousand times!!!!
    My winter storm will be a very very intersting album!!
    I love you

  104. Cris (La Negra del Foro Oficial) Says:

    I’m now listening to the song. FINALLY I get a taste of the album… and I’m loving it! The next step, the videoclip to match the song… I can pretty much see some lose images in my imagination based on the pictures you shared with us (again, thank you for doing that!) and I think the characters you created for the video will fit the spirit of the song perfectly…

    I can say without a doubt that you’re finally where you were supposed to be all along. I think you found yourself at last. And I’m happy for you. You deserve all the good things you received and continue receiving during the creation process of MWS… and you better start getting ready to receive all the marvellous things and the satisfactions that will come after the release of the album!

    I hope everything’s OK with you… congratulations on a great new start and quite a rebirth! Way to go! ^_^

    Take good care of yourself, God Bless!! ^_^

    Hello dear Tarja..
    Wow I am so impressed with the song “I walk alone” it’s so powerful and energetic, not to mention quite heavy. I didn’t expect such a dramatic score but now I know that we will be in for a treat. The days towards your album “MWS” will be released is like counting the days for X-mas. Though I know it will be worth it, mind miy confidence has always been with you Tarja. I have never doubted in you nor your ability to produce / make great music.
    I feel that I have been blessed to be here and read all that lovely news and pictures you post for us fans .
    It makes me proud to be a Tarja fan , because you treat us all with such sincere respect. I admire your for that as well as your ability to sing and make music. Tarja you are indeed a kindered spirit, be sure to never change that way of your life.
    With lots of love and admiration from your forever fan

    Sad Angel

    I feel a bit giulty ‘cuz I’m not Finnish nor had I the chance to listen to a Finnish radio, so thanks (it depends on the point of view) to youtube I listened to I Walk Alone. I’m an hypocrite but have the guts to admit it.
    And gawd, was it worth doing…

    I guess the main reason is that we all expected a poppier sound for a debut single but you surprised us all again with this powerful heavy guitar sound and your voice which I won’t waste any time nor word talking about ‘cuz there’s nothing more to say but that you’re in the Olympus of singers (both metal and not, and I’m not gonna quote anyone) since quite a bit of time.

    Cheers Tarja and congratulations!

    Hello Tarja.
    How your mood? Thanks to you, at me excellent! I listen «IWA», excuse me, I have not waited on October, 12th or 15. You, of course, understand, that «IWA» should become a super hit. I yet did not hear your SUCH purest strong and magnificent voice! Thanks you big for your talent! Each time, when I heard your next new project, me it was not believed, that you can sing even better!
    Tarja, during listening IWA I had an association, that mood «IWA» and «Death on two legs» Queen, a little similar. Their creation was dedicated to long-awaited leaving of the bad producer. But music and your performance there is nothing are not similar, even on you former. It seemed to me, or I really heard during an instrumental part, a theme of «Dies irae» W.A.Mozart? If indeed I did not meet so graceful integration of classics with pop.
    Tarja when you “will ask” me what 12th song (cover) I would like to hear on «MWS» or a following album, I will respond: please, Tarja, sing something from or with «Symphony X».
    Tarja, I wish you not to worry for your released album, all will be very good. To me it will be especially cheerful in holiday with «IWA» and other your music the next 2 weeks. Thanks you.

    ….Keep all the roses I’m not dead… I waaaalk aloooneeeeee… every step I take I walk aloooonneeeeeeee… MY WINTER STOOOOOOORM!!!!
    Ohhh GREAT!!!! really WONDERFUL, I loved the song, I don’t know if you will approve us hearing in on youtube… but please understand our anxiety! (besides youtube is today’s radio… just that we can hear 24 hours of Tarja hehee, with no commertial cuts! at least until we can buy 2 or 3 albums -you know they get ruided after intensive replaying-) This only makes us wish more and more your new album!! and makes us very very happy TuT
    I didin’t know what to expect exactly, only that this was gonna be great… but it is more than great! Thanx for keeping us fans happy!! and, like I said I’d do… I beg you to come to Mexico PLEASEEE COME TO MEXICOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ohhhhh GENIAL!! realmente MARAVILLOSA, adoro la canción, no sé si aprobarás que la escuchemos en youtube… pero por favor entiende nuestra ansiedad! (además el youtube es como el radio de hoy día… solo que puedes tener 24 horas de Tarja jejeje, y sin comerciales! al menos mientras podemos comprarnos uunos dos o tres discos -por aquello de que se rayan de tanto oirlos-) Esto sólo nos hace desear más y más tu nuevo disco! y nos hace muy muy felices TuT
    No sabía qué esperar exactamente, sólo que iba a ser fabuloso, pero es más que eso!! Gracias por mantenernos felices!! y como ya me había propuesto, procedo a suplicar: VEN A MEXICO POR FAVOR!!!!!

    Damm! I cant stop listing to “I walk alone” t. Im hope im not tierd on it when you realese it.. But then there are 9 more tracks.. Wooot !! I cant wait.

    The perfect (soft) cover on MWS would be madonna’s Frozen (I love that one, even if im not a Madonna fan, it has so naked and .. cold sound). To bad it cant be it came late 90′ish or so I think
