LYRICS THE ISLANDER:
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
So long ago
So long ago
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
So long ago

That is the best possible description I have ever heard of Marko's voice. Love it!
The Islander is one of my all time favourite songs. It's so beautiful and powerful. I'll miss Marko. He has such a great voice and brought so much good to the band. He's the man that inspired me to get into the Bass in the first place. I wish him all the best in his reinventing. I hope he comes out the other side stronger than ever. Whatever form that takes, whether he's back with Nightwish, Tarot, or not even making music at all. Love you Marko, Keep your head up.
There are just two of them left... The golden cast from the beginning of 2000's...
I only found Nighwish during the pandemic. This was immediately one of my favorite tracks. I hope he finds peace and that the rest of the band are able to help him and each other through the dark times. Peace to all of them.

Marko might have left but he will forever be a member of the Nightwish Army.
Marko was my inspiration and what pulled me to learn playing the Bass, and this song, specially, showed me that even with a "gritty" voice, you can sing so beatifully like this. Knowing he might not come back does hit me hard, since I started following Nightwish for him. Thanks Marko, you will be dearly missed, and we all hope to see you back
We will miss you Marko! May you recover and be well! 💙
Quickest I've ever clicked on a video in my life.
The Islander is one of my favourite songs from Nightwish, especially because of Marco's voice. I hope he will return to the band later.
Me: Not gonna cry, not gonna cry, not gonna cry. We will always support you Marko.

I'll miss Marko but I'm confident the band will be cable to surprise us with somebody else with great talent. I also had tickets for 2020 sin Buenos Aires suspended by the pandemic. Hoping todo be greatly surprised soon.
As much as I will miss him in NW, as much I wish him all the best in the world! I think it is so good he concentrate on his health first! If there is life; -There's hope!! All the best to Marko!!

I've been aching to be in the rarified air of The Islander with you. I hope nothing but the best for your future, and was so happy to see recognition with your talent in Masked Singer as well, because you have a beautiful mind, powerful presence, and legendary talent.

Nightwish concert with Marko Hietala was at the top of my bucket list. I don’t wanna dream again :(
Love the switches between the hard sound pick and the warm notes with his fingers! Just amazing
Such an outstanding performance by an outstanding person. I tried not to cry, but I did. To our incredible Marko, we are all sailing right behind you, holding our arms out to support you with love. You are amazing. Truly.
Marco leaves a gaping chasm, which on its own, simply can’t be filled by any one single individual. He brought so much to Nightwish - unlike many bassists who just fill the rhythm section by playing along with the drummer’s kicks (yes Pär, I’m talking about you) Marco complemented every other member of the band, often standing along side them to emphasise the fact, his his playing often including some improv without decimating the original pattern; his voice was not only a huge part of the Nightwish sound, but he was gracious enough to harmonise with Floor’s vocals from her very first appearance with the band, he made her feel right at home without making it overbearing; he’s a really nice guy, and he’s paying the price for that nowI really can’t imagine a future without Marco; not after Jukka went and couldn’t return now, even if he was fully fit and able to do so - it’s a bit like Maiden’s Smith / Gers situation when Ade wanted back in - they kept both - can’t see that working with a drummer. It’s sad that after bringing Troy and Floor into the family officially, that there’s now a real possibility of Nightwish not coming back from this - which I’m sure weighed heavily on Marco for a long time; how *do* you leave a band that you’re such a big part of, without it affecting the future of everyone? No wonder he’s depressed. He’ll be missed, like a hand falling off, it’s noticeable to everyone. I wish him good health and the band a bright, long and happy future.
