Have you ever heard a song/melody/lyric that connected instantly with your soul? The first time I listened to this track when Emily gave me a copy of Imaginaerum, it seemed so familiar to me. I got chills throughout my entire body and Goosebumps spread all over my arms and torso. I felt the flute melody in my heart and it was starling because I've never connected to music so intensely before.

Unofficial lyric video. Language is.... Finnish. The flawless Tuomas as songwriter as usual. I love his view on music. He says, "My aim in the band is to become a more balanced human being, friend and co-worker through creating music and stories, to give the listeners a place to escape to and to create their own universes."
I'm nervous about what happens next with Nightwish. Tarja left. Anette left. Now it's just the gentlemen and I'm scared. I've been a fan since about 2004. I loved Tarja. I adored Anette. I don't care for the vocalist they had on tour with them, because I couldn't get into After Forever's sound. If she's what they choose to continue their story with, I'll try to be open minded about Floor's addition because it's Nightwish.
I've connected with so many of their tracks, this one most intensely. Another track inspired my username and I'm determined to write a short story with this song as part of the soundtrack, is "Last of the Wilds" off their Master Passion Greed album. I hope that Nightwish can continue to be great and devastating.
It's been two years since Imaginaerum was released... I wonder how much longer I'm going to have to wait for another album.
