Friends
Well... friends come and go. Just like all the other people in your life, I just think friends sticks around longer because you have something to learn or gain from them. And you have something to give them back. Something that will change their lives completely or maybe "just" smaller things like opinions or choices.
Some of our friends stick around for our whole lives, which is a very long time. How is that even possible?
I think the reason is the same no matter how long or short-lived the friendship is. Just getting along with people aren't enough for them to stick around. If we don't gain anything from each other it feels pointless. And that is the difference of a friend and an acquaintance. I have plenty of people around me who I get along with just fine, but I'm just not interested in hanging out with them more than I already do.
I recently talked to my best friend (since 8 years back) and we both decided to "just" be friends. I had realised that my life was going a completely different way than hers. We were drifting apart and I felt like all our fun and interesting conversations had gone out the window. It was sad but at the same it felt like a natural development in our friendship that I couldn't stop. I have other friends now who I am very close to. But since me and my other friend ended things on good terms, I know I can always talk to her whenever I need it.

My three best looney tunes
Mythological rock
I don't know many other bands that does symphonic power metal as good as Nightwish. Obviously they are very famous and have fans all over the world, which is pretty rare for a Finnish band. But rock is their thing. Whenever a Finnish band becomes famous, it's often a rock band.
Although I do think that Nightwish lost a very important factor when they replaced their singer Tarja Turunen. I'm weak for opera rock when it has a fantasy sound and when the artists go out of their way to create fantasy clothes, shows and music videos. Nightwish's music is often described as symphonic power metal but I'd say the entirety of it should be called fantasy rock or mythological rock. It's enchanting and mystical.
The bands new singer Anette Olzon has a nice voice for sure, but there was something dark and mysterious about Tarja that can never be replaced. Anette feels more like a pop/rock girl to me which isn't what I want to hear when I listen to this type of music.
But sometimes a band just has to move on and if the band members feels like the line-up isn't working, then something has to be done. Tarja now works a solo artist which is going okay I guess. I wish she got better songs to sing because most of them are powerful, but hasn't got melodies that are interesting enough.

She's still going for the mythological look that I adore.
I wouldn't mind walking around in clothes like that all day long!
One of the few of her solo songs that has the same sound as Nightwish
Beautiful...
