It's an epic, powerful song. I really like it, and have always liked it since the album came out. The song has this sad feeling stamped on it so nicely you can only feel touched by it and the whole story of Jesus Christ.
@Rizombie : haha, I've tried working that bit out myself, seems a bit tricky. You can probably find the guitar tablature on the net, I think Emppu might use a "barre chord" for the bit after 0:35 - that's where you have to hold your first finger across all 6 strings and use your remaining three fingers to move between the other notes - takes some practice but it's worth it!
@Funeralmoon666: haha, if you do, just watch out for three things: 1. the killing cold and the darkness in the winter, 2. the glare of the daylight throughout the summer, and 3. the expense (I've heard that Scandinavia in gerenal is quite expensive). But otherwise, go for it, especially if you're young and have no obligations. That's what I did (although I opted for Berlin, not anywhere in Scandinavia).
@AndyB1286 Lol i went to Norway a week ago, i loved every second of it. Its an amazing place, people are really nice, i don't mind the cold or the snow but it was a bit expensive but not really bad lol I'd definitely go there again
@Funeralmoon666: lucky you! I've been to Norway before (spent three very nice weeks there last Summer), but I long to go back there again, especially to Tromsø, which is my favourite town there. I didn't get to see the sun at midnight unfortunately, because I got there too late, but I still found the country beautiful. One day I'll go back there in the winter, hopefully to see the town all lit up and to maybe catch the Northern Lights :-)
@AndyB1286 Yea i really wanna go back as well, there was a lot of snow when i went and it looks gorgeous lol and hopefully im gonna go back in the winter again to see the northern lights, my ultimate dream ;)
@Funeralmoon666: I reckon you and I would get on well if we knew each other :-) Going to see the Northern Lights is also on my list of things to do before I get too old, haha. Having said that, I'm only in my twenties, lol. I'd probably be living somewhere in Scandinavia if a. I could speak the language, and b. I had enough money (especially as far as Norway's concerned).
Gotta see Nightwish though next time they're on tour. They must be awesome live. Tuomas Holopainen is a genius.
@AndyB1286 We probably would tbf :) and yea i wouldnt mind learning the language but a lot of people over there speak english like this one guy (who is english) married a norweigan woman, and he cant speak a word of norweigan but he can understand it and the woman cant speak english but can understand it as well, which is pretty funny tbh lol and the jobs over there pay pretty well like the my mates mom over there gets 20,000 nok a month :O lol
i agree that scotland really has beautiful nature and landscapes, but to my mind there is hardly any country in the world that can be compared with the scandinavian country in when it comes to nature!
look religious meanings or not the music comes from the heart so i really dont care lol sounds good going through my ears its all that matters
