tuomas holopainen is the only person who understands how to write music and i mean that sincerely. i dont ever want to hear a song again unless its about 1) evolutionary biology, deep time, and the enduring spirit of humanity 2) deeply personal life experiences that the writer is going to pretend are not the inspiration for the song 3) scrooge mcduck.
