This may or may not qualify for the thread, but I just had to share. I ran across this album looking for videos to post and asked myself "Hmm. What's this?"
Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen-Cabuli (born 17 August 1977), known professionally as Tarja Turunen or simply Tarja, is a Finnish heavy metal singer-songwriter. She is a soprano with a three-octave range.[1][2][3][4]
Turunen studied singing at Sibelius Academy and Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe. She is a professional classical lied singer, and the former lead vocalist of the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, which she founded with Tuomas Holopainen and Emppu Vuorinen in 1996. Their combination of hard and fast guitar riffs with Turunen's dramatic, "operatic" lead vocals quickly achieved critical and commercial popularity. Their symphonic metal style, soon dubbed "opera metal", inspired many other metal bands and performers.
LUYOLO does this song in a beautiful soft fashion... it's a song about finally getting back with someone to give the relationship a second chance (Which IS NOT for me considering my toxic relationship past, but it's inspiring, none-the-less and a beautiful song).
Look at all of them. They just look like normal everyday people. But they have that Music locked inside them like a Treasure. A great mysterious thing. This song has inspired me to learn to play one of these instruments.
After the 2nd plane hit the tower on 9/11 and we came to realize the planes were hijacked commercial airliners—- and we didn’t know if there were more or where the next one would hit... I listened to these Christian songs on repeat as I sang and prayed through the anxiety and for those perishing. i was home alone in my apartment in So Cal. These songs take me back to that time, and also, strangely, bring comfort.
