Meadows of Heaven

I noticed there wasn't a topic for this song...
I'm not the biggest fan of Dark Passion Play, but there are tracks I really enjoy, like Last of the Wilds and Sahara. I appreciate Anette's voice...I know she can sing, I just can't compare her to Tarja.
That said, I must say Meadows of Heaven really made me laugh when I first heard it.
Before someone shoots me for that, I'll say that I really enjoyed the beginning of it. The ending makes me burst into hysterical laughter, though.
I was reading a review of Dark Passion Play,
http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/49140/nightwish-dark-passion-play/

and there is something that is said that seems totally brilliant....

" 'Meadows of Heaven' is just as guilty as 'Eva' of overproduction and repetition, but sonically it’s really quite easy on the ear. It stretches over some seven minutes as it is; even though Hietala appears to have a gender change in the last two minutes of the piece to return as a female gospel singer, battling it out with Olzon on the last few whimpers of the title."

Please don't kill me. I think it's a good song. It just makes me laugh.

I hate this song I loathe it like no other song It makes me feel sick, it is over done and over dramatic. I can't tell you how pleased i was they never sang this live when i went to see them, i may have thrown something at them

Yay! I mean...um...

I really like this song, although I do think the end drags on a bit... Was there a need for the gospel choir?

I like the gosspel choir.

It just seemed a bit odd to have at the end of that song. Just a bit.

For me this is the worst Nightwish song ever. I found it to be rather boring.

Love this song!!! So beautiful !!!

I quite like it,at the beginining it sounds really beautififul,but Anette says to much"Meadows Of Heaven"at becames annoying..and at the end it really bores me,actually it`s too chessey.
It`s just like WT`s(i don`t like comparing bands but i really can`t stop right now )In Perfect Harmony.Something about nature,but to chessey lyrics
LOL and it has the same lenght:7.00 minutes
Forget what i said i don`t like comparing songs by another bands
It isn`t NW`s worst song,neighter the best

I love the Gospel choir...Anette's voice....she used to sing in a Gospel choir
One more song that makes me cry
