    Meadows of heaven is a metaphor Tuomas uses to describe the happiness, innocence and adventures of his childhood. That is something he wants to travel back to. There are also references to this in other Nightwish songs.

    Tuomas wrote just so amazing songs to Anette, specially the ballad's, she is just so good singing them. When Tuomas mother was asked what is her favorite Nightwish song, she said Meadows Of Heaven and that she was surprised he could write such beautiful song. Anette did also sing jazz together with her mother when she was in her teens, that's probably why Tuomas wrote slow Love Slow to her, one of her real highlights.

The official live version of Scaretale on the Nightwish channel annoyingly has the camera man go 'missing' on Anette during one of the verses! Though you can still hear her singing. The sound quality isn't too bad and Anette is in fantastically witchy form, but the PQ is only 480p. There's a fan made video (with better PQ of 720p) which is part live footage (from the same show), part scenes from their Imaginaerum movie, but with the studio audio. It's very well done, I think.

    "Meadows of Heaven" is, as I understand it, Tuomas's metaphorical realm of unfettered dreams, childlike innocence and the soul at play. Of course, he brings it up by name in, "The Poet and the Pendulum". What good is there in a sandbox without toys or a rocking chair without a dreamer?

    Beautiful reaction to such a lovely meaningful song - individuals are comforted by their own valid interpretations - I'm sure you two will agree. Personally going through a little bit of a hard time at the moment so I very much appreciate the laughs. Got to take you to task Wolfman with regards to 'Skunkington' - Skunks are exclusive to the Western Hemisphere, namely The U.S , Canada and Mexico - the puppet was seen in France (Hellfest) just across the water from me (London) where we have Badgers!! So maybe include a song devoted to Badgers?!! "An Ode to the forgotten Badger" maybe?!! Take good care of yourselves 😃 🙂

      Well HT that made us laugh! So sorry about the tough times, we’ve also experienced a few recently. One of the reasons we started the channel was to laugh at ourselves. So please keep checking back in. We’d love to know how things are going for you .
      Now, the dreaded Skunkington debate. I will maintain to the grave that puppet was a skunk! No matter what the actual truth is (suesue will attest to that).
      It’s gone on so long now and I’ve committed so much I have to as my son would say “never stray from the bit”!
      As a nod to Badgers and those who love them, I will include one song on the album.
      “Bag full of Badgers” staring Billy Badger
      I hope that satisfy you and your ilk.

    I agree with both of you. I see this song being about loss, much in the same vein as I Want My Tears Back, a loss of childhood innocence, about those childhood experiences, and the sense of wonder and anticipation of life to come when you’re a child. But yet not particularly sad way, almost more reminiscent. It’s kind of a memories of childhood song, to me anyway. Love you guys.

    Anette made two albums with Nightwish, and they were their two best-selling albums…most likely because they were their two most pop-influenced albums, which was due to Tuomas writing for Anette’s vocal abilities. She sounds great on both of those albums but seemed to struggle live, partially I think due to the rigors of touring; she seemed to be ill a lot. I’d recommend you check out her post-Nightwish project The Dark Element. One song by them that I like a lot is The Silence Between the Words: th-cam.com/video/yn69qJuDLd4/w-d-xo.html ☮️

    The other song that's kind of in this theme is Turn Loose The Mermaids, which he apparently wrote when his late 90's grandparents passed on. Quite the whammy, but worth it. She's really good with Russell Allen, too. They just dropped Army of Dreamers and All Alone. No live since it's within the last 2 or 3 weeks, but I love them together. Oh. and Floor Jansen has a new one out with Tobias Sammet's project Avantasia called Misplaced Among The Angels.
