Know Why The Nightingale Sings

I disagree with you Emej. I saw the same interview, but i think his sister's answer and most importantly Tuomas's interpretation of what happened are different from what you said.

Here's a little more detail on what was said in the interview. Tuomas's sister was very into parachuting and did it a lot, which made Tuomas (a boy at the time) curious, so he asked her why she spent so much time in that. She replied with a question "why does the nightingale sing?"

The nightingale sings because it's what it lives for, it's what fulfills it and makes it feel alive. Just like Tuomas's sister with parachuting. This is all given with a very happy and inspiring undertone, which is reflected clearly in the lyrics and the music.

I think your explanation was lacking that aspect, which, to me, is what makes this song so amazing.

The song is about Tuomas finally being able to make music and to write "poems" as he calls them. It sounds like the view from someone writing for the first time who takes "a step to a world unbound/Spinning my fantasies all around". Knowing why the nightingale sings is like knowing why the writer writes.

this reminds me of Peter Pan for some reason.

Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet

Nice toughs, Zughiaq. At first time it reminded me on Petar Pan, but this is very interesting view.

Anybody thought about Cinderella ? I mean, in the Disney's version, there's a carol sung by Cindy (at least in the french version) which gives in English : "Sing, Nightingale, sing (2*) Aaaaah...in the night" Don't know if english lyrics look like that.

Nightingale male bird sings at night to call female nightingales, to do.. something...

This song fills me with hope, after listening to it i feel as though i could do anything!

this sure is a happy song!
