Nightwish – The Islander on No Fat Clips!!!

Nightwish – The Islander

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With sea winds in his face

Memories can be a burden that prevents you from taking your steps, or they can shine a light on your life while the tears fly by. As usual, this doesn’t necessarily has something to do with video and/or the song.

I ricordi possono essere peso che impedisce i tuoi passi, oppure gettare una luce sulla tua vita mentre le lacrime volano via. Come solito, ciò non ha necessariamente a che vedere con il video e/o la canzone.
