I can't get enough of The Islander. He dreams of when he was young and life children roamed the grassy shores. Now there haunted by him and his ship but he's leaving. Very beautiful. :] | Reviewer: Archangel Travis | 5/30/09 I hate Anette's voice. It's too weak compared to Tarja's. I can't listen to Dark Passion Play anymore because of Anette's screeching. I love this song though. Funny because Anette hardly sings in it. :P Romantic | Reviewer: Eva Karhu | 2/26/09 This song is extremely beautiful, romantic, sad, deep and downright meaningful. Whatever Marco and Annette sing (including this song) means so much to me that I can hardly stop listening to it anymore although I was a bit reluctant at first (no offense, though). I can't wait for the next album. NIGHTWISH FOREVER!!!!!!!!! great | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/20/09 really love this song, sounds really good where both voices come in at the end of the song, really shows marco is really talented at singing and composing too, can't wait to see if he does any more songs like it. Inspiration | Reviewer: Sarah | 12/12/08 I really love this song, too. It's very beautiful, sad, and nostalgic. As for the song's inspiration, I think it could refer to the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," where the mariner, in penance for killing an albatross, is condemned to wandering the world and telling his story/lesson. the inspiration | Reviewer: Metatron | 11/7/08 Also, his wife and children are dead, as represented by thier ghosts, and the trees. When he commits suicide, you see him and his family (as ghosts) holding hands, and another tree grows, representing his death, like tha families.... hope that made sense. Awesome song! correction | Reviewer: nobody | 11/7/08 I wanted to correct "Mariska de Rhoter" because she wrote "Tuomas is the best composer..." refering to The Islander song,but this song is the only song composed by Marco... PD: i freakin love this song i cant stop listen to it The Inspiration | Reviewer: Shima | 8/26/08 To Saema: The song is about a former sailor with his experience, who then became a man who still dreams for the sea, so he is one who works a lighthouse. The last verse of the song tells of him committing suicide. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Islander_(song) I need help | Reviewer: saema | 1/24/08 The song is beautiful!! but I need to know if there is a story behind...What was the inspiration to create this song? I really need it..it´s for my translation class tnks Amazing song | Reviewer: Daedalus | 11/4/07 This is a very good song. One of Nightwish's lighter, but I like that. The lyrics are brilliant too, really like them. The Celtic feel in the song is done very well (I should know: Irish. Hehe). Sounds like those guys in O'Reilly's... anyway, amazing song.
