The act of spending every waking moment thinking of someone you know you can't have, so named for Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish and his unrequited love for Tarja Turunen. Also because you're "wishing at night" for them.
A: "He still hasn't found a girlfriend yet?"
B: "Nah, he's still Nightwishing for his high school crush"
A very talented, original, and powerful band. Takes great parts of metal, classical, and opera and fuses them into beautiful music.

Fuckin' awesome power metal band from Finland. Their singer is a trained opera singer and she's pretty hot, too! Check out www.nightwish.com
No seriously, I'm into Nightwish for the music

A heavy metal band from Finland, and easily one of the goddamned best to have graced the music world. Combining talent, awesome lyrics and kick-ass music into one mind-blowing whole, nobody can play gothic metal like Nightwish can. They don't posturate their music in an over-the-top, "we're evil goths and we love it" attitude that many other metal bands seem to (*cough* Marilyn Manson *cough*), and the Heavy Metal world just wouldn't be complete without them.
Nightwish... Underrated personifications of Melodic metal. It's difficult to praise 'em too much... they flat out kick ass. What's Metallica doing at the top of the charts, anyway?

A Excellent band that doesn't need to act tough and rebellious (see slipknot) and makes the metal industry proud.
Nightwish were great last night
Of course

One of the greatest bands in the world, featuring one of the greatest singers in the world, Tarja Turunen. They prove that you don't have to use the word "pain" in every other song in order to write lyrics, that girl singers (and rock singers in general) do not have to whine, and that talented musicians can and do show off their skill playing in metal bands. Oh, and they also used the same orchestra from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack on their album "Once".
Nightwish are what Evanescence only wishes they could be.

Unlike the negative definitions sent in under the word look up of 'Metal', Nightwish isn't about "someone being tortured and beaten, and the sound of people stomping on small animals."
They combined something unique. Symphonic, classical music and opera combined with parts of power metal.
Okay, so the "Ocean soul" part has been overdone a bit, and so is the sea motif put in almost every song. But Nightwish is still a good band. That's just Tuomas thinks. His thoughts are in a "Sea of Thoughts", and writes them down and turns it into a song.
Maybe Tuomas should think more than just the ocean?
