    The final movement of this epic composition is perhaps the most beautiful, haunting and moving piece of music I have yet heard. When Floor's voice soars above the music, it gets me, every time. Tuomas has an uncanny knack of picking the most emotive notes/chords and, just as importantly, the correct instruments to play them. It also helps he has access to one of the best intruments in the band - Floor's voice.

    This song is about suicide. After Tarja left Tuomas went onto a deep depression. He thought about suicide. But he wrote this song about his suicide, instead of really committing suicide. He knew the pain he would leave behind. Tuomas writes songs to deal with his feelings and about things happening in his world and in the world around him. He also writes song dealing with things he has read.
    If you noticed the song started at the end and finished at the beginning. There are parts that he cannot listen to today. He has them turn his ear buds down in certain parts of the song. The reason the bassist and the guitarist go over to him at the end of the song is to show their support for him.
    I would like to suggest a couple of songs that should hit home in the US. He wrote one about the shooting at Colombine called "Kinslayer" and one about how the settlers and gov't dealt with the Indians called "Creek Mary's Blood" Live at The End of an Era concert with Tarja. Both songs are really good. Thank you for doing this song today. I hoped what I wrote helped you understand the song................. I will quit babbling now.............. :-)

I know that my personal boycott doesn't change anything, but I am still displeased over the alleged lack of professionalism in the band.

She reportedly hated going on US tours because they didn't make as much money, & with her living in South America with her husband made her far less accessible to get her to record music with them. The final straw was when she told Tuomas that she could leave the band any time she wanted. Basically, she became a major pain to work with.

    This song is probably one of the masterpieces of the century, genre aside. The songwriting, the arrangement, the lyrics, the blend (and contrast) of heavy riffs, piano keys & vocals are absolutely on point. Let's not forget Tuomas has composed 95% of NW songs for the past 2 decades - his creativity and ability to pour emotion into songs is simply amazing.
    This song is also one of the heaviest (emotional) songs in the NW catalog.

    I was surprised it took you this long to get back to them after your initial reaction to Ghost Love Score. I know you did Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, but they have so much more to explore and so many different styles of songs. If you enjoyed this, I'm sure you'll enjoy The Greatest Show on Earth (Tempere 2015 show). Its another long epic multi transitional piece. They have some harder stuff too like Romanticide and Song of Myself. I know you enjoyed Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, you might also enjoy checking out Floor doing an old Nightwish song from the Tarja era where she sings in her opera voice called Stargazers (Tempere 2015 show). Floor is ridiculously gifted. She is a perfect fit for Nightwish imo.

    To Hell and Back or Carolus Rex by Sabaton. All of Sabaton’s songs are about historical war info, whether it be the people or battles, To Hell and Back being about the most decorated soldier in ww2 suffering from ptsd upon returning home, and Carolus Rex is about the crowning of King Charles XII of Sweden (very epic)

    I know it's been suggested several times by other people, but if you are enjoying symphonic metal, you really need to react to Epica - "Consign To Oblivion (Live at Zenith)". They have some similarities to Nightwish, in that they are the same genre and have a wonderful soprano lead vocalist, but they are a bit heavier, mixing in some harsh growling male vocals (as opposed to Nightwish's clean male vocals (which are also great - not knocking NW in any way, I love them)) and heavier music in general.

    Interesting you should equate their music to a soundtrack. Tuomas Halopainen (who does the composition and writing as well) studied heavily in that venue, and a lot of his inspiration comes from that study. He also did the score for a Finnish movie "The Matriarch. (2008)," which, if memory serves me correctly, is when he wrote "While Your Lips Are Still Red." You are absolutely correct about this band. They are definitely all at the top of the Pareto curve when it comes to musical skill and talent. By the way, Splitting up songs into different parts (movements), has been around for centuries, and is a structure used by many great composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky. I believe that Halopainen has definitely achieved a similar level of mastery. This song is definitely a future classic for the coming centuries.

    Going to one of their shows a few weeks ago was a magical experience. Still cannot get their performance of The Greatest Show on Earth out of my head
