Media Monday: Nightwish

Soooooo,
My ideal post is yet to be finished so I thought I'd post something up for you all to munch on while I get the big one ready. Let's make this MEDIA MONDAY (dumb, I know but bear with me on this)
 I decided to talk a little about my favorite band; Nightwish! This symphonic metal band was born and bred in Finland, rocking since 1999. What  caught my little freshman mind at the time was their mix of orchestra and speed metal, like Bach meets Metallica. Then as I got older I  started noticed the lyrics. Written by Tomas Hopplelain (did I spell that right? I don't know, deal with it) who is also the keyboardist, I found an interesting twist of utter emoness, philosophy, and fantasy. Take a look at my most recent top fav of their songs

 Master Passion Greed
Who the hell are you to tell me,
What to do, why to do, why bother
Leech in a mask of virtue
Such waste, to ever think of you again

Hey Judas, your Christess was our love
Hit and run, your will be done
Never sorry, never wrong
More more more more more

Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed

"Hello. How are you?
Let me explain one thing.
All for her and more for me
Why is it so hard to see?
I see no sense in doing this,
Not enough for me,
I !!!!! up everything but let me explain"

Some, day

Some day you shall flee,
Panting and weak

Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed

All within me gone but pain and hope
Hoping that the pain would fade away

Greed, your master passion
I feed the mouth that bites me
Mammon, opiate of the masses
The reek of your lies draws flies

Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Have her
Kill her

Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Feast on it all

Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Have her
Kill her

Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Feast on it all

With awakening the tears will begin
To my everlasting shame silence took me

You are probably  thinking " that's not a happy sounding song." But did I say I wanted happy? No, I want heart-wrenching, emo, monosyllabic goth music that will completely blow your mind!  They are coming out with a new album/ movie called Imaginarum (again, did I spell that right? Oh well) and I suggest if you like that kind of stuff you should go check it out.

Why the heck would this band have anything to do with conspiracy theories and supernatural? Well like I said their lyrics do use a lot of fantasy references (just not this one) and I have my own conspiracy theory on this band, which you will all have to wait and hear on a later time.

See ya!
