Nightwish, Amaranth.

[via nightwish]

Nightwish is a finnish band so cool that I must add a lot of videos to this post. I could not allow the common “one post one video” rule that I usually maintain in this music posts. I added the video from the latest release, Dark Passion Play with their new singer, Alyson Avenue. But not adding a song or two by the great Tarja Turunen, their first singer and frontwoman was imposible for a fan like me.

I love both singers and the band is one of my favourites. They play strong Heavy Metal with a lot of symphonic and melodic influences. And they play difficult lines that makes the experience of listening quite interesting.

Nightwish – Amaranth

[via NuclearBlastEurope]
Baptised with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself

War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time
we reach For the ones who ever dare

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Reachin', searchin' for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading callin'
Callin'...Callin'

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
[Rain]
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
[Hide]
In a land of the daybreak...day-Break!

Now, some videos with Tarja Turunen as singer. First, my favourite. A symphonic madness that has orchestral arrangement and choirs.
