Band Name Origins:

  • 'Nightwish' was the name of one of the band's early songs, which was never released on a full-length album. Tuomas Holopainen, the founding member of the band, thought that it gave a good description of what the music was about, so it became the band's name. Submitted by: Nanotechnology

Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Amaranth"
Misheard Lyrics:
Carrots that wander
Never faiding, raiding your heart
And Jesus' snow-white Zorro
Carrots that wander
Hiding M&M's in a lamb
Arthur they bray.
Original Lyrics:
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 daybreak.

Super Long Pop Songs:

"Ghost Love Score" Length: 10:00
Longest song they made. Also, throughout the song they keep genre-switching. Symphonic Metal to New Age to Metal to New Age to Symphonic Metal.
Submitted by: Leila
"The Poet and the Pendulum" Length: 13:53
This was even played in the radio many times when the album came out (even on pop stations and this is a metal song) since Nightwish is a huge band in Finland, where they come from.
