I used this song as inspiration for one of my characters. (the character was already created by me in a previous story, but I had writers' block) and this song fit perfectly. It helped me get back into the process and finish his tale.
I'm sorry. But not EVERY song Tarja sings is about Thomas. It gets irritating when there is such a lovely song like this and people continuously seem to turn it that way.
Tarja is a wonderful artist. With or without Nightwish. Get over it.
lol i like this betterr than her stuff with Nightwish... I hated her in Nightwish, gah it had no fluid... It sounded so harsh on my ears and it did not blend very well...
@rollandstgelais I think what this person is asking is if she'll ever make music as well as she did with nightwish. I have to say... of course. Tarja was WHY I listened to Nightwish. That and the amazing guitar solos of course.
Tarja is such a wonderful singer =D i discoverd her after i herd nightwish kicked her out of the band. :(. I bought some songs from her Wonderful album MY WINTER STORM. The songs were
I WALK ALONE, LOST NORTHERN STAR, DIE ALIVE, DAMNED VAMPIRE AND GOTHIC DIVINE.
@inamarel I think that if the pronouncing isn't great in some points, maybe she means to do that. And thinking of a normal Finnish, her pronounciation is very magnificant. You should listen the old version of Sleeping Sun and come back to talk again :)
Its neat to read other peoples interpretation of this song...but it isn't as deep in meaning as some may think. The Boy and the Ghost is an old African American fairy tale. Tarja is simply putting the story in a nutshell with this song. Its a very sad, powerful story if anyone is interested.
I believe this song is about Tuomas, really. For example, it even says "dead boy" in the song... Nightwish/Tuomas is the only possible source of that. Plus, the mentioning of an "angel in the snow" ("Sacrament of Wilderness").
My main reason for commenting is because I was listening to it earlier, and had a break-down. I started listening to the lyrics, and I noticed how I related to them... and since I relate to Nightwish in an immense way, I made the connection. Very interesting.
@Nightowljrm Yes,now that I read the lyrics it does look like it's about Tuomas.However it only looks like that,it's and old African American fairy tale,but as we all know,everybody can relate to it in different way.
chills.... all down my spine and goosebumps from the very first note...
I think her voice found the fundamental resonance of my soul.... with or without lag..... we meet again 240p
