It really aches to see that so many people don't understand the message of these wonerful lyrics... Beautiful film. Merlin is one of my favourites and so is Meadows of Heaven.
i remember watching this made-for-tv movie in school and hating it. I love NW, but I think they should stay away from all things Heaven. Heaven really should not be part of the vocabulary of a metal band, unless maybe as a casual alternative to the sky.
well you certainly are right about its appropriateness here. "fields of Hell" wouldn't really work out. it isn't badly written, but it's times like these that NW ceases to be a metal band and becomes Christian Rock --which I find to be cheesy. I think that Christianity has had its time in art, but now it's time to move on. Due to my absence of faith, I just can't relate to modern attempts at Christian art.
But in this context, "heaven" isn't referring to the afterlife, it's referring to a time in our life when life is innocent - childhood. I can understand your point because Nightwish isn't a Christian band, but since "heaven" isn't used in a Christian context, I don't see anything wrong with it. :)
you might be right about that. I only paid attention to the chorus, so that might have misled me. nonetheless, they do say "my day in heaven" in "7 days to the wolves," and I think that really throws off the atmosphere created by the song--b/c up until that point, it seems to be taking place in some prechristian tribe...

Lovely vid, not my favourite NW song by any means, but it fits the footage very well indeed. Though, naturally, as an unashamed Mab fangirl, tis my duty to wish you had included more Mab footage, LOL.
Thank you for the comment :) I'm sorry I didn't include more Mab :P I did have fun *trying* to get her into the vid, but it just didn't look right somehow. :P
This song is amazing ... Magick never went away. ;)

This is an interesting comment...why should metal bands not use "heaven"? In this song specifically I think it's very appropriate.

Aha! I imagine ye've already guessed I'm Skeksi on the forum XD
And fair enough about trying to get Mab into the fanvid. I look forward to seeing any other Merlin fanvids ye might make in the future, though.
LadySkeksi 3 years ago
Haha, yes, I saw Skeksi and immediately thought, "Oh no, I didn't have much Mab!" :P
And yes, I will definitely be trying to make other Merlin fanvids, hopefully ones about Mab too :D
ladyglass 3 years ago
LOL! Ah, not that I'm predictable or anything, honest! And YAY for more fanvids.
