While your lips are still red

16Oct07

Nightwish is one of my favourite bands. The album “Once” has always succeded to cheer me up (a.k.a “don’t give a shit” mode: Advanced) when I am obssessed with my profesionality of magnifying tiny, unworthy things as if I should pay attention them. Anyway, in short, I love this band.

 

If you follow the metal music world, then you must have probably heard that Tarja, the Goddess of Nightwish, left / was kicked away from the band. The past is past. So I don’t see any point in discussing Tarja’s farewell. Moreover, I started this topic for only one reason: To recommend you listen to the new ballad “While your lips are still red” of Nightwish.

 

Here is the lyrics:

 

Sweet little words made for silence
Not so young, heartfelt love not heartache
Dark hair fall, catch in the wind
Light the way, the sight of a cold world
Kiss,
While your lips are still red
While he’s still in silent rest
A bosom is still untouched
Unveiled on another hair
While the hand’s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
Compassion, its power’s never a wasted wrong
The violin, the poet’s hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme wïth care

 

More detail: “While Your Lips Are Still Red” music from Markku Pölönen Film Lieksa! by Tuomas Holopainen/Marco Hietala. Music/Lyrics Tuomas Holopainen

Synopsis – shortly.

Love, hate and troubles of all kind, that`s life, but like in almost every road movie, the journey it self here is the point. “Your home is where your heart is.” {This comment is taken from the YouTube link provided above.}
