This song would have been written around the time Tarja got married, hence the second dream will “ever dream remain”. This theory certainly fits well with the dedication to this song: the first dream can be interpreted as making music with Tarja, while the second, being involved with her romantically. There’s a theory in the Nightwish fandom that Tuomas Holopainien, the band’s composer and lyricist, who is said to write all the lyrics in his own voice, was in love with Tarja that he didn’t have the courage to tell her how he felt directly, but instead tried to tell her through his lyrics but that this love was never requited (Tarja eventually married another guy). One I now have, while the other one ever dream remain The song’s title comes from a dedication that appears at the end of the song in the album’s lyrics book it’s never performed:Īll I ever craved were the two dreams I shared with you The Tarja-era songs have such raw emotional power none more so than the heart-wrenching love songs, like today’s selection: “Ever Dream” from the album Century Child. Nightwish are currently on their third singer I’ll make no secret of the fact that the one I’m by far the most partial to is the first, Tarja Turunen, who sang on the first five of their (as of this writing eight) albums. Let’s now begin our exploration of the wonder that is their original work.

#NIGHTWISH EVER DREAM COVER SERIES#
We’ve had a taste of Nightwish in this series when I featured their cover of “The Phantom of the Opera”. To check out Swanheart, I recommend this video (not embedded due to YouTube restrictions), which is of a live concert in Tampere, Finland in 2000 that was filmed and released on DVD under the title From Wishes to Eternity.įull lyrics, along with some discussion, can be found here.
#NIGHTWISH EVER DREAM COVER FULL#
The production quality is not yet as polished as on later releases, but I nevertheless enjoy the album very much it’s full to the brim with raw energy and emotion. Oceanborn was Nightwish’s breakout album, the first that brought them international recognition. This hauntingly beautiful song laments society’s shallow obsession with outward, physical manifestations of beauty, often overlooking and under-appreciating beauty that lies within, in the heart. Continuing the exploration of Nightwish‘s work that began with their “Phantom of the Opera” cover and continued with “Ever Dream”, I’d like to share today one of my favourite songs of theirs: “Swanheart”, from their 1998 album Oceanborn.
