Go slowly now, sands of time
Still have some verses to pour
This wonder of life has led me home
Like a poet of Scotland once scribed
Home is the sailor
Home from the sea
And the hunter home from the hill
Go slowly now, sands of time
Still have a memory to make
Dancing to Auld Lang Syne
Thinking of the heather of home
Home is the sailor
Home from the sea
And the hunter home from the hill
The lyrics GO SLOWLY NOW, SANDS OF TIME of TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN is also present in the album The life and times of scrooge (2014)
Tuomas Lauri Johannes Holopainen (nato il 26 gennaio 1973) è un musicista finlandese di fama internazionale, noto soprattutto come tastierista, compositore e cofondatore del gruppo musicale symphonic metal Nightwish. Holopainen ha iniziato a comporre musica sin da giovane, influenzato da artisti classici come Bach e Beethoven. Nel 1996, insieme a Tarja Turunen (voce), Emppu Vuorinen (chitarra) e Jukka Nevalainen (batteria), fondò Nightwish, con cui ha pubblicato dieci album in studio di grande successo internazionale. Holopainen è noto per le sue melodie epico-drammatiche, spesso ispirate a temi fantasy e mitologici, che hanno contribuito a definire il sound distintivo del symphonic metal. Oltre al lavoro con Nightwish, Holopainen ha collaborato con altri artisti finlandesi e internazionali, come la cantante operistica Johanna Kurkela e il gruppo folk-metal Korpiklaani. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Tuomas Holopainen figurano "Nemo", "Wish I Had an Angel", "The Islander" e "Ghost Love Score".
