The problem is that when the same band comes up with a song that has the guitar+strings+kotipelto's voice formula, they will totally just look back to the only song that's simmilar.
I think people compare theese 2 because their formula is very alike. Not even The Land of Ice and Snow sounds like that. I guess that's why is often compared to Forever.
Btw Lauri, is it possible to know what was your inspiration for this song?
I remember Forever is a song Tolkki composed for his father. I don't think the same is behind WMF.
I think would be better to stop comparing the songs.
And musicians just get inspiration from their favorite bands and composers. If you listened to a song I composed, some parts sound just simmilar Sonata Arctica (8th Commandment), others like totally me, and other to Stratovarius (Stratofortress), and I won't hide it if I ever get to release that song on an album (I love it so much jaja, you probably would too).
The thing is that in music, some songs will sound like past songs, but is not a bad thing, is just influence.
