Since I’m obviously just posting every song from Nightwish’s 2004 album Once one by one, why not continue with another favourite from that brilliant album.
Today’s is Nightwish – The Siren (M4A, 34.4M)
This is Nightwish at their theatrical best – some might find the lengthy instrumentals offputting, but to me the strong imagery carries the song, and the story, forward perfectly. I personally find the chorus of this song, especially the second time around, to be incredibly aurally pleasing – a complex, evocative, multi-layered progression of sound.
Lyrics after the jump, although knowing them is unnecessary and, if anything, detracts from this kind of song.
