NIGHTWISH update from an unhappy-sounding Tuomas Holopainen

[Akumu]

Yeah, when I was in high school, nobody really talked about Nightwish outside my group of gamer friends... though I had first heard about them from a classmate in freshman year who is now an openly gay Lady Gaga and Twilight fan. Which is also how I first heard about DragonForce. Hmmm.

H.I.M., on the other hand, completely dominated the angsty teenage girl demographic. I still twitch every time I see a heartagram.

Yep, the same girls I'm referring to that loved Nightwish were also huge H.I.M. fans.

My claim about Tuomas was mostly a joke, but the statement about melodramatic teenage girls was certainly not. I went to high school with tons of girls who absolutely loved the shit out of Nightwish, constantly going on about how deep they are, and how much they identify with the emotion in their music. And yes, all of them were melodramatic teenage girls.

Maybe they were melodramatic, but Nightwish does have deep lyrics and I can understand where anyone can identify with the emition in their music.

The protagonist of the film is a songwriter with an otherworldly imagination. He is an old man who still thinks he's a young boy. While asleep he travels into his distant past where his dreams of old come back to him mixed to the young boy's world of fantasy and music.

In his dreams the old man fights to find the memories most important to him.

This is pretty embarrassing. :/
