We need to talk about Marko Hietala

It’s quite disappointing to read that he really had problems with the administration of the band, and not with the promoters, all this things about his mental health wasn’t the real reason to quit nightwish, the real problem was the money and the validation he needed to feel happy and full; everything is ok with this, but why he said this things know? In my personal opinion everything was ok until the announcement of the virtual show, because the band had to pay for this show and was quite expensive ( btw, this show was the most viewed around the world ) he didn’t accept this then he quit, this decision was taken in a very hard time for nightwish ( COVID-No live shows, crew without job, new album done) in the middle of the only one unique show. Tuomas: Marco informed us by mail in December last year [that he was leaving the Band] it was a really tough pill to swallow. And for a few days, I was actually quite confident that there's no coming back, that this is it. I remember talking to Emppu [Vuorinen], the guitar player, and we were, like, 'You think this is it?' 'Yeah, I think this is it.' I mean, enough is enough.

This break was a real punch in the face and a huge bite to the nightwish heart, because the money and the “ I don't need Nightwish anymore.” and ”Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day's warning in advance”. From Tarja. Comes true once again and was made by Marko, a real dear friend for Tuomas (I know many people blame Tuomas for everything but he is not the administrator of the band, as far as we know, the administrators are Jukka Nevelainen and Ewo (manager) ) said that, this was a real betrayal and just to fu<k even more this sh:t Marko Hietala is on tour with Tarja, giving interviews talking sh:t about this.

I had noticed that nightwish was very supportive with him, even they dedicated him the echo award, they mentioned in several post saying they missed him, but after this interviews in the Tarjas tour, until that moment NW unfollowed him on social media, That reaffirms my theory. This was a huge betrayal and I just feel very disappointed about Marko, I understand his reasons but all this statements and this Tarja Marko union it felts like a knife in the back!

This is not a post to start a drama, it is just a personal opinion, I like the way that nightwish is taking all this, we just can hope and wait for great music to come 🤘🏻 but again the "The blow was almost fatal” and this let us without a tour 😪

Workplace doodle bandit strikes again!

This time no cardboard boxes were decorated, but I did have five minutes at the end of last friday when I had collected all lists there were for the day, but it was still slightly too early to leave for the day, so I grabbed the closest drawing implement to the list table next to some post it notes.

Forgot to document my deed back when I made it, but I'm happy to report the crime has been noticed (it's in a different spot than where I left it) but hasn't been removed.

Mwahaha!

Meaning of Yesterwynde

Part 1

Yesterwynde (important for lanternlight)

The poem speaks about the deep bond between the living and the dead, and the inevitable journey we all take from life to something beyond. It’s about the ties that keep us connected to those we’ve lost and how, even after death, that connection doesn’t fade.

1. **From darkness to light**: "Out of the darkness and into the bright light" suggests a transition from suffering, or even death, into something peaceful or transcendent. Darkness represents the pain of loss or the end of life, while the bright light hints at the hope or peace that comes after, almost like stepping into a new existence.

2. **The ties that bind us**: "We carry the ties that we bind to you" speaks of the emotional and spiritual connections we hold with our loved ones, even after they’re gone. These are the memories, the love, the shared experiences that don’t disappear with death. We carry them with us, like invisible threads that still tie us together.

3. **The broken blooming bough**: The line "I am the broken blooming bough" shows that even though something or someone might be broken, there’s still beauty and life there. A broken branch can still bloom, just like how even through loss, we can find growth and transformation. It’s a reminder that life goes on, and so does beauty, even in the hardest times.

4. **A lost world**: "The countless sunsets of a lost world" is filled with nostalgia and a sense of longing for something that’s gone. Sunsets symbolize the end of something—maybe a day, maybe a life—but they’re also undeniably beautiful. It’s a way of saying that even though something has ended, it left behind moments of beauty and meaning.

5. **"See me? See you"**: These questions—"See me? See you"—are like the voice of the dead asking if we can still recognize them, feel them, or sense their presence. It’s about the idea that even after death, the connection remains. The living and the dead aren’t so different; we’re all part of a larger cycle, and in time, we’ll all be reunited in some way.

6. **The shipless island**: "On an island of a shipless crew" creates this feeling of isolation and being stranded. A crew without a ship has no way to continue their journey, which might symbolize how the dead exist in a different realm, no longer tied to the world of the living. But there’s a kind of peace in this isolation, too—it’s as if they’ve completed their journey and are now resting in this distant, untouched place.

Conclusion:

This poem isn’t just about loss; it’s about how death isn’t the end. It’s a transition into something bigger, something that connects us all. It starts with the pain of losing someone, but it ends with acceptance, recognizing that those we’ve lost become part of the world around us. They’re in the sunsets, the wind, the snow in our hands—they’re still here, just in a different form.
