Erämaan Viimeinen (English: Last of the Wilds) is a single by Finnish symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish, released on December 5, 2007. It is the same song as the instrumental Last of the Wilds from the band’s last album Dark Passion Play, but with Finnish lyrics and Jonsu from Indica on vocals, and became the third single of the album after “Amaranth”. It was followed by “Bye Bye Beautiful” on February 15, 2008. The single was, like their earlier single Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan, never released outside of Finland, where it peaked at number one in the charts.
Erämaan viimeinen is not an exact replica of Last of the Wilds. It has vocals and lyrics (naturally, being a vocalized version), there’s no seashore-sound in the beginning, there’s an additional keyboard-track in the C-part and the kantele-outro has been removed.
The song is also included on the Platinum Edition of Dark Passion Play.

I've listened to this song three times now, and I really like it ^__^ There's no doubt in my mind that I still prefer the original, but the vocals have a really nice sound. Jonsu does a great job and because of this song, I'm more interested to see Indica supporting Nightwish in March :]

I like this song, though only because it's in Finnish. In my humble opinion the lyrics don't seem well distributed. It's like she starts singing and doesn't stop for a pause, and the syllables don't map well to the music - just listen to the second part of the first verse when she sings "valaisee" (which is a shame because Finnish is very melodic with the many vowel sounds and long stressed syllables where there are double letters). It just doesn't feel right... I think the instrumental-only version sounds less chaotically fast, and is therefore better.

How can they rape their own song? I prefer this over Last of the Wilds.

So, like Jonsu is from a Finnish pop band. I think she's no worse than Anette who wishes she was a Finnish pop band. I thought Jonsu's voice was beautiful after I got over the fact that my favourite Nightwish song had vocals added to it. Although hearing it instrumental first gave me a chance to appreciate the guitar more...
