How to ruin a masterpiece song in half an hour using a pencil and Photoshop.

Just to clarify: I'm the greatest Nightwish fan on earthly face and I adore every single note from The Poet and the Pendulum, but the very first time I read the title, I was like: "Huh? Did Tuomas write a song about himself being hypnotized by a pendulum or what?!".

I know, I know... I'm a stupid girl.

OMG, that's just... hilarious :rotfl:. I love Nightwish and TPATP is their best song ever, but that drawing just made my day :D. Great!

Ahah, that made me giggle. TPatP is the only song of their new CD I like, though I must say it really LACKS Edgar Allen Poe references.

It really ought to have some with a title that so blatantly rips off "The Pit and the Pendulum."

Just my two cents.

:+fav:

Thank you very much for the comment and for the fav!

For the lack of references about Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum", well... according to me, there are A LOT of references! ("The blade fell upon him", "For years I've been strapped unto this altar, now I only have 3 minutes and counting", "The morning dawned upon his altar", "The blade will keep on descending", the sound of the blade at 09:58 and so on).
Actually, TPATP is not supposed to be a tribute to E. A. Poe: it's sort of an autobiographical song, so the blade we're talking about has to be a metaphor, not a real pendulum swaying above a pit... =P

D: I feel silly for overlooking those lines.

That's true, but I gotta say, I'm still better at the use of such a title for something not really Poe-related. >_>'
