LYRICS:
Gone is the hurt, the wait
Gone is the warmth of day
A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved
On into a velvety night
Beneath a lanternlight

Last night brought the heaviest of snows
Melting the songs of old
Tying the boat, write a new one soon
Sending me to the drowning moon
Far above a lanternlight

I`m in the light and flood
I`m in the four winds
I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems
I am the snow on your palm

I am the secret stream
Moss beneath your feet
I am you who climbed off of my back
Not long ago
A sheltered song
In a world now gone
Petrichor
The timeless

Turn loose the swaying boat
Meltwater, sound of spring
I hear our song now, sung by the free
For a thousand more tomorrows
Of an incomplete weave
To the meadows I go
I’ll be waiting for you

Once upon a lanternlight

I walk now toward the trees
The night falling at my feet
Into the forest of Yesterwynde

I needed to hear this song today. Today marks 9 years that I lost my precious mother. I know this song was something that needed to be heard on this day at this time. Thank you Tuomas for being vulnerable with us, but thank you for giving us who have lost someone valuable to us a chance to hear this! Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!

[suffocatus]

I started listening to Nightwish when I was 14 years old. And now, 7 years later, this band was and remains my favorite. Tuomas’ songs shaped me both as a person and as an aspiring composer. My music project wouldn’t exist if Nightwish didn’t exist. The music of this band has always given me the feeling that someone is embracing me without touching me.
If you, Tuomas, are reading this comment — thank you so much. You’ve awakened my potential to create and feel music. I can confidently call you the father of my creativity. Thank you!

Best thing about Floor, when she sings, you don't hear it. You FEEL it

[aeonspeace]

The lyrics is a letter of acceptance, transformation, and release. "I am the snow in your palm" speaks of how, when we die, we never truly leave; we become part of the nature of the universe. In this way, we transform into something eternal and far greater and more important than human existence. The light of those people from the past will accompany us in those small details that always bring us peace—gazing at the stars, the snow in your palm. I'm really crying. 🥺

Even after decades of being in love with and spellbound by Nightwish, angelic creations like "Lanternlight" always make me feel like coming home whenever these once-in-a-lifetime artists release a new album - a sentiment of ascending to the "Meadows of Heaven" formerly sung about, like a hearth fire warming the soul in the eternal winter people create by what they're doing to this beautiful planet, like a silky-soft blanket covering the wounds life inflicted on so many of us with the solace of picturesque poetry and verses from a world of ethereal peace.❄️🌙🤍🕯No matter which era of Nightwish we're talking about, no matter what singer has been bringing these monuments of music to life, it's always Tuomas' infinite spirit that's shining through and setting Nightwish apart from any other band. I'm speaking of the Nightwish feel that is being evoked no matter which song you're listening to, a safe haven where all ocean souls can feel understood and embraced by the lines of someone who has proven to be the greatest poet and composer of our time. "Lanternlight" is the perfect end of "Yesterwynde" - it brings me back to teenage days when Nightwish became my shelter, and it still envisions itself as a journey to new shores. I was shivering in the most positive sense when listening to it for the first time - and I couldn't imagine any other end to this new chapter of grandeur. This emotive romanticism speaks to my soul in a way I can't even clothe in words.🖤✨️🌙🕯🎶

That's why I love Floor's voice. She sings from the depth of her heart and soul. And of course Tuomas is a genius. Thank you Nightwish! ❤

[felipecostameneses]

Lanternlight is pure emotion and art, Floor is always flawless!

[PaulBarber-ve]

55 seconds in, the tears well up. I knew this album was a masterpiece, but this is perfection and this woman is a treasure.❤

[wlfie]

How elegant and emotional is this band...

[Sadrose]

One of the things that I love about Floor is that in the era of botox and fillers, she has none. I love every wrinkle on her face, she is so expressive. I love that about her. I hope she will stay the same and I wish her to be healthy.

[sw_elian]

I know it's been said many times but...we are so lucky to live in the same era as Nightwish...

[NightwishArmyItalianDivision]

People are still trying to put labels on this band, metal, symphonic metal, rock, whatever. Nightwish is not a music label, is emotions, stories and adventures is everything your heart need them to be.

Listening to this song with my 5 year old daughter Luccy before taking her to school and watching how she was so attentive to the song and sharing the same love for Nightwish made my eyes fill with tears. Fabulous song, they are admirable. Long live Nightwish❤❤❤🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🤘🫂

[neonspec]

For a while now, I’ve had Meadows of Heaven as the Nightwish song I want played at my funeral. But this? This is seriously making me question that. One of the most haunting and beautiful things they’ve ever done 🥹

[destroyer]

Floor, those low notes are so great 🔥

[TechThroughHistory]

In a beautiful suburban home on a cold winter night in the northeast, a elder man who lived a fulfilled life who accomplished his dreams spoke to his children. "Sons, I want you to remember something before I pass on to what is beyond. Remember to row yourself to that distant shore, no matter the adversity. You're going to continue making me so proud. I love all of you. Love one another and always remember to love yourselves and your purpose in life.I hear your grandmother and all her brothers and sisters. I love all of you. Until we meet again, ". The next day, they honored their father and cried. 'I wish our father was still alive. He was our Lanternlight, ". Love your parents & remind them of that. Loved the album btw!

"I am you who climbed off of my back, not long ago"- Our Decades In The Sun rephrased 💖

[jackkilman]

A beautiful, touching tribute to Tuomas' father and all our lost loved ones.

[manosgeorgoudakis]

It's so refreshing, a band that still makes real music, with structure, great melody, emotion and impeccable performance. Bands like Nightwish are the lanternlights of modern music.

[holgerschmidt]

Imagine this song at a live concert with a big sound system, OMG!!
