The cheer up thread.

I still hear many griping that their first singer was best. Tbh, they're all great, but I'll check out the new stuff as they're a fun band to listen to.

Heck, my favourite songs are probably the instrumentals, like Last of the Wild or Moondance.

Tarja was good, but I think the others have been good, too.

Still, Tarja with Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation) is an AMAZING combination:



I think my absolute favorite Nightwish song, and possibly favorite song of all time by anyone, is The Greatest Show on Earth, from their latest album (Endless Forms Most Beautiful):



It is a 25 minute song about the creation of the universe and humanity, and people who aren't into science won't get a lot of the references. There's also a nice spoken bit, though I'm not fond of the man doing it (Richard Dawkins... and not because he's an atheist, but rather because he's kind of an *******).

That sounds promising. I came across some Mongolian music a while back, it was very interesting. Wouldn't mind finding more.

[URL="http://www.boredpanda.com/husky-dog-mother-rescues-kitten-lilo-rosie/"]Rosie the kitten[/URL], found and rescued on the brink of death, was nursed back to health by Lilo the Siberian husky, who took her on like a puppy of her own. The then-three-week-old feline and her surrogate mother bonded instantly, and after a week of tender and loving care, Rosie opened her eyes and began to walk on her own.
“She almost did not make it through the first night,” writes [URL="https://instagram.com/lilothehusky/"]lilothehusky on Instagram[/URL], “even with round the clock care. She was lethargic and limp. So we decided to go out on a limb and let her cuddle extensively with Lilo. By some miracle, she started suckling on Lilo and Lilo went full ‘mom mode.'”

She even goes for walks in the park with her mom!
