Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture dann Average	#1 by dann at Aug 12, 1972 at 8:51 PM EST
	i love this song

No Picture drw Average	#2 by drw drw at Jun 23, 1976 at 10:51 AM EST
	....I think it's another of Tuomas's 'inner child' songs. He's not really talking about dreaming your life away: he's talking about ceasing to dream. He's warning people not to give up their dreams: "Cherish the moment Tower the skies Don´t let the dreamer fade to grey like grass" But, meh, as with most of his songs, you can make an argument either way.....Though where these people keep coming up with the 'Christ' arguments is beyond me.....

No Picture jessie Wanna Be	#3 by jessie sinanan at Apr 5, 1982 at 4:40 PM EST
	I agree with binni on the meaning, and yeah, it's a great song! Probably my favorite bu Nightwish, either this or She Is My Sin.

No Picture ♥Chicken Average	#4 by ♥Chicken On Heroine Shots♥ at Aug 31, 1987 at 5:47 AM EST
	I think it's something to do with adultery.. "For with the wife of his best friend He spent his final night of freedom" It's all about love.. "He knew that it would cost him dear But yet he dare not say Where he had been that fateful night A secret it must stay" fearing for what may happen to the woman he was having an affair with and obviously the friendship he's already risked. This is all I can come up with at the moment, and for the record Nightwish are amazing :)

No Picture Ultra Violet Average	#5 by Ultra Violet at Jun 28, 1988 at 6:57 PM EST
	This song, without a doubt is one of their masterpieces. Many of you have already pointed out the meaning of this song: A man who sleeps with his best friend's wife, gets unjustly framed. And can't prove his innocence. It gives such an olden days theme I find. Awesome song

No Picture paddy Average	#6 by paddy coscoran at Jul 26, 1994 at 11:53 AM EST
	this is a brilliant song, the video is kool but also kinda strange.

No Picture sephiroth Average	#7 by sephiroth at Sep 7, 1997 at 8:17 AM EST
	i cant believe the people that see no meaning in these songs the lyrics are clear and i agree with binni as the song clearly say

No Picture Marks Average	#8 by Marks at Feb 6, 2006 at 4:29 AM EST
	I head the original version of this song. They are both good. The Nightwish version has better chorus and is harder but the Gary Moore version is good too.

No Picture Ahhma Average	#9 by Ahhma Yomamma at Jun 18, 2006 at 7:45 AM EST
	I think it means: A man is occused of a robbery he didn't commit, and without an alibi he would go to Jail, but he was in fact with the wife of his best friend that night. Not wanting to hurt his best friend or ruin his best friends marrige, he keeps quiet and goes to jail. Then the bit we do not hear is that the Marrige breaks up anyway, and the ex-wife goes to the imprisoned man. She sends him letters and they both wish they were together. The End.
