WHOA! Nightwish!

So I just learned that one of my favorite songs growing up was by Nightwish all along!!! It was one of the songs that motivated me to learn to play the piano. All I wanted was to be able to play that song. Holy cow, guys!!!!! Amazing.

Also amazing: The Escapist
Also also amazing: While Your Lips Are Still Red

My life has SO been changed for the better!!!!!!

Amaranth? Or what? The song that I loved and wanted to play was "Walking in the Air" on that one lameo movie, The Snowman. Movie wasn't so amazing, but that song was!

Woah, that was Nightwish? Are you serious? I totally know what song you are talking about.

And the Snowman is, in no way, lame-o.

I challenge you to a duel.

I think I'm gonna have to agree with Carl on this one, Alla. The Snowman = pretty dang great.

Also, I think Nightwish just covered "Walking in the Air." But they're still super cool to be able to pull that off.

Totally wasn't a cover. Listen to the movie. It's totally her voice.

hey Allie, this is Carl's friend, Mariela. The song was actually written by Howard Blake, and put in the movie in 1982. Nightwish didn't cover it until 1998.

I remember playing this on the piano when I was little, and either way, it's a sweeeeet song.

There's a Wikipedia article on it. Not that this fact means a thing, it's just fyi.
