Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Dudey Average	#1 by Dudey at Jun 13, 1973 at 6:36 PM EST
	I think this song is about gaining imortality by being remembered after you are dead.

No Picture Jesse Wanna Be	#2 by Jesse Seibel at Nov 1, 1973 at 2:49 PM EST
	great song this is..i just got it and it sounds really great...i thing it is a bout the eternal search of ppls for youth or immortality or smt like that...well, anyway, its good..

No Picture Darren Wanna Be	#3 by Darren Pilton at Aug 24, 1984 at 5:53 PM EST
	Hmm...I'm going out on a limb here...I dunno that much about Nightwish so I'm probably wrong...self-proclaimed crackpot theory made by combining other theories mentioned: Maybe it's called Nightquest because it was Nightwish's original goal when they started: Immortality (maybe like Amoebathegrate said, through being remembered when they're gone? For their music? (similar to how the Beatles will probably be remembered for much, much MUCH longer). Like Lothmiril said, each part represented a band member-the questers who were setting out for the immortality, and maybe Ravenwolf was right-maybe they decided to enjoy the ride-to enjoy what it is that they do instead of aiming for the immortality part of it. In short: it's about them, their mission, and perhaps a learned lesson. But I'm probably wrong. XD

No Picture Vicky Average	#4 by Vicky Barnard at Jan 2, 1985 at 5:11 PM EST
	"A warrior of power along the path" is obviously Jukka, drummer. I think that Tuomas wrote this song even before Sami joined the band.

No Picture Kornowski - Wanna Be	#5 by Kornowski - Im не русский, Бог Черт возьми! at Jul 3, 1989 at 3:04 AM EST
	IT's so cool

No Picture Murders in the Average	#6 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Aug 31, 1997 at 8:00 PM EST
	It's just a cute song without any deeper meaning (but f course it's not senseless either) And it's about band members - each part is abutone of them: Storyteller, The Pied Piper is Tuomas Led by a maid - Queen of the night is Tarja A merry minstrel with his fingers fast obviously Emppu A warrior of power along the path - um... could be Wilska or Sami? no not marco, he wasn't with the band I am the mastermind, the wizard to show the way is Tero, their manager

No Picture jordan Average	#7 by jordan mcm at Jan 28, 1998 at 2:36 PM EST
	hat I thought was they started out questing for immortality, but maybe along the way they realized they should just enjoy life while they have it. That's what I got from the line, "Forget the task, enjoy the ride," anyway. The more I think about it, though, the more I agree with Amoebathegrate.
