Pünktlich zur heutigen Veröffentlichung des neuen NIGHTWISH Longplayers “Yesterwynde“ geht auch das Video zum verträumten Song `Lanternlight ´ onlne.
Tuomas Holopainen von den Symphonic Metal Giganten kommentiert die neue Scheibe so:
„Yesterwynde is finally here and ready to open its cabinet of stories, timelessness and hope for you dear listener. We are infinitely grateful that we get to share this ocean and all of its islands with you all.“
und ergänzt zum Song:
„‚Lanternlight‘ was the first song written for the album and the natural finale of the Yesterwynde journey. A love song, reaching for the timeless; a music to immortalize the memories of those dearest to us.“

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
