This is a song that makes me tear up not because of it’s tragicness (like The Poet And The Pendulum), but because of warmth and beauty.

Tuomas wrote this about his grandfather passing away. "Checked your teeth and warm your toes" that's what Tuomas' grandmother did on his deadbed.

I was just mentioning to a dear friend lately that this was a little of the same theme as The Islander. Funny that you mention it :) Beautiful song!!

It turns out that this album has two "Islanders": This one and "The Crow, the Owl and the Dove", where Anette and Marco sing, and even Troy sings a little (for the first time in Nightwish).

Can't wait for him to react to The Crow, The Owl and The Dove. I love that song. I know he's been doing the lyric videos so far, but I really hope he chooses this brilliant fan made animation kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6q8ZoSDm5lkms0 That ending! Gets me every time.
