Good morning, kittens & dawgs! I’m on a new kick in mewsic taking a look at international groups and artists for a change. I’m not sure how long this series will continue but for now enjoy the ride with the symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland.
Although Nightwish have been prominent in their home country since Angels Fall First, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Oceanborn (1998), Wishmaster (2000) and Century Child (2002). Their 2004 album, Once, has sold more than one million copies[2] and was the band’s breakthrough in the United States. Their biggest US hit single, “Wish I Had an Angel” (2004), received MTV airplay and included on three US film soundtracks to promote their North American tour.
Let’s kick this Saturday morning with Nightwish’s first US hit, Wish I Had An Angel!
The next two pieces of mewsic can be found on their 2015 Endless Forms Most Beautiful album.
The third song choice recorded by today’s featured group is from their 2007 Dark Passion Play album.
The last song featured today is the theme song for the 2007 Finnish movie, Lieksa.
I hope enjoyed the sound of Nightwish. That’s a wrap for this week. I hope you enjoyed your visit and I appreciate you including me in your weekend. I’ll see ya on Monday for Mewsic Moves Me. Have a songsational Saturday!
