    Lyrics The Islander:
    An old man by a seashore at the end of day
    Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face
    Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
    Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
    Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
    He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
    Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
    The ones on their travels homeward from afar
    [Chorus:]
    This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
    Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
    The albatross is flying, making him daydream
    The time before he became one of the world's unseen
    Princess in the tower, children in the fields
    Life gave him it all, an island of the universe
    Now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog
    He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
    Anchor to the water, seabed far below
    Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
    [Chorus:]
    This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
    Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
    [Chorus:]
    This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
    Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
    So long ago

    My grandfather passed away a month ago. He was a long-term captain and till his last day he continued to tell the stories of his adventures, his beloved sea and marine animals. He did not know what metal is, but he visited Finland in his 40s and he often answered me:"do you continue to lister to that band, the one with also a passion for sea in their lyrics."
    Any time I listen to this song I enjoy the memory of my beloved grandfather. I'm an atheist, but I hope he is still sailing among the waves, somewhere.

    • @DeltaSilver88
      @DeltaSilver88 3 года назад +1

      This actually sounds like an Irish sea shanty, i.e. sailing songs that were anachronistically associated with pirates. For an example of shanties, look up the Drunken Sailor album by The Irish Rovers. Another fitting genre is Celtic music, examples found in the Celtic Twilight albums.
      One strange coincidence I noticed: around 2:05, the flute melody sounds like The Alleged Paradigm by Epica (or Lugia's Song from Pokémon, take your pick).

    I love ALL of Nightwish vocalists (Tarja, Marko, Anette, Troy and Floor). All of them fitted well in a different way, when it was needed. But, I don't know, the soft, angelical, and emotional way of Anette to sing brought a different experience for Nightwish. I totally understood now why she was choosen after Tarja's leaving. "Dark Passion Play" and "Imaginaerum" will remain forever as my favorite albums ever. So many emotions in these albums... Sorry, Anette, for recognizing your uniqueness only when you left. Love you!

      Your sister is not truly gone. You can still meet her. God said "I will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away". The lyrics are beautiful- "...and a smile in his brow. This is the long forgotten light at the end of the world, horizon crying (because of) the tears he left long ago". I know I sound pretentious, but this song isn't about sadness, but the bright future that awaits the sailors in the waters of life. Keep the wheel steady and sails all unfurled, full speed ahead. I wish you that happy future, believe in it.

    I sent this video to my mother the other day - she knows no one single word of English - and asked her to watch it and guess what the song is about; and she got the meaning right from A to Z. I congratulated her on that and she replied: "Let's congratulate those who conveyed such deep meanings to someone ignorant of the language sung."
    This tells much about the enthralling universality of music and of human feelings in general.

    For most of history humans did not know the limits of the world. There was always a mysterious horizon, and the imagination lay beyond. Children dreamt of being explorers, sailing into the sunset, seeing what lay beyond the hills, finding riches and monsters alike. Many people died in its pursuit, but now the surface of the Earth is charted, mapped, visible from satellites.
    To me, this song speaks of a yearning, one that is no stranger to many of us. The desire to journey, to explore, to adventure, risks be damned. What horizon can we chase now though? The depths of the ocean, the vastness of space, there are horizons still, but beyond the reach of the many. This song seems a lamentation of the loss of our naiveté, a cry for the adventures of the fairytales and romances.
    I don’t shun the advances of our modern age, but the stories of the past spark my imagination. Tales of vikings, of pirates, of genii, of creatures great and terrible, of battles that when told seem epic and noble. It will be a fine day when we again race to a horizon. Many stories have yet to be written.

This was just weeks before he passed away. So, yes. This song holds a special meaning for me.

    Pamatuješ, když si to měla jako budík. Vždy když to slyším, vzpomenu si jak se nám tak moc nechtělo vstávat, když si za mnou chodila brzo, dřív než jsme šli do školy aby to tvůj táta nevěděl. Bože bylo to jako z knížky, tak krásné, tak výjimečné. Je to už tak dlouho a přesto všechna síla kterou jsem v sobě našel díky tvé lásce stále přetrvává. Díky tobě jsem se z kluka z malé vesnice s vyučím listem co smrděl od hydrole dostal až k titulu z vysoké školy , ale hlavně k tomu životu co tu v Praze žiju. I když někomu se to muže zdát jako obyčejný život pro mě to je jako sen. Ty máš teď svůj život a já do nej již nechci zasahovat, vidím jak si šťastná a silná, ale přesto pořad budu připraven tě kdykoliv pomoct. A tu sílu a energii co mám navíc věnuji a budu věnovat tak abych udržel a vytvořil prostředí kde lidé budou moci zažívat to co jsme zažívali my. Proto jsem i vstoupil do politiky, protože věřím že právě to je nástroj jak mohu pomoct co nejvíc lidem jako tobě, holkám co milují z celého srdce, těm co dávají našemu světu a životu smysl. Asi nikdy nebudu mít sílu tě říct nebo napsat to co si zasloužíš slyšet, nemám na to sílu. Mohu jen doufat v štěstí které mě provází životem, v to že tě přivede k těmto slovům a ty pochopíš.
