Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture KELSO Wanna Be	#1 by KELSO Is a COOL kid at Mar 1, 1989 at 10:38 PM EST
	It is childish, but isn't ever dream of our hearts childish? it is about longing for a diffrent world, world of books, world of dreams. world of witches, Bilbo, elves, Beauty and the beast...

No Picture david Average	#2 by david maynard at Feb 19, 1990 at 2:40 PM EST
	this song is ridiculous.. i laugh so much at these lyrics.. no diss to nightwish thom they're sound is good..

No Picture Daniel Average	#3 by Daniel Gordon at Feb 16, 1998 at 4:16 PM EST
	heh, as self-accepted fantasy geek i love this song. most power metal lyrics border on ridiculous in any case; its totally fine if they have somewhat childish lyrics every once in a while, as long as the music is good (which it is). As to tarja's pronunciation, remember english isnt her mother language, she speaks with a marked accent. the first time i heard this song i also heard elvengoth; i still hear elvenbath even now. im sure we can however all say its meant to be elvenpath :) another point, the name Mielikki is the name of a nature deity in the dungeons and dragons Forgotten Realms setting. its amusing it should crop up in such a song, although i must say i did figure tuomas for a bit of a fantasy role-player...

No Picture Jeff Average	#4 by Jeff Berg at Jul 8, 2001 at 5:55 AM EST
	And really, she sings elvenBath! No mistaking that b-sound. This is, as pointed out on some IRC channel, about "nekkid elves gettin' wet".
