866 ( Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red )

This song started running through my mind and it seemed perfect for this day. From what I understand this song is actually not an "official" Nightwish song, but it was included on Nightwish's Amaranth single as well as their Made in Hong Kong (And Various Other Places) CD/DVD.
It was composed by Marco Hietala and Tuomas Holopainen for the Finnish film: "Lieksa!" and was performed by Nightwish members: Marco Hietala (bass, vocal), Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards, backing vocals), and Jukka Nevalainen (drums, percussion).
It is quite a beautiful song that highlights the talents of these three excellent musicians.
