"Storytime" is a song by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, featured on their 2011 album "Imaginaerum." The song was released as the lead single from the album in November 2011. "Storytime" showcases Nightwish's signature blend of symphonic and power metal elements, with a strong emphasis on orchestral arrangements and theatrical vocals.

Musically, "Storytime" features an energetic tempo, powerful guitar riffs, and an intricate keyboard arrangement, with a prominent use of string and brass sections. The song is characterized by its dynamic shifts between fast-paced verses and a soaring, anthemic chorus.

Lead vocalist Anette Olzon's emotive performance adds depth to the story, while the backing vocals, harmonies, and choirs contribute to the grand, cinematic sound of the song. The orchestral elements in "Storytime" were recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, further enhancing the song's epic and theatrical atmosphere.
