Angels Fall First - Nightwish - 1997
Since I've been extra pre-occupied with music lately, I thought it would be fun to try another feature here. I was never able to post a picture every day, but let's see if I can post something at least once a week. Seeing as I have around 360-ish CDs, I thought it would be fun to post one track from each record I have. Let's see how consistent I can be.
To celebrate my new favorite band (along with Depeche Mode), here is Beauty and the Beast from Angels Fall First by Nightwish. Nightwish is a Finnish band, this was their debut album, 1997.
Beauty and the Beast - Angels Fall First - Nightwish
Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a scent of beauty left behind Ah, dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love to me now has to die Forgive me, I need more than you can offer me Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease up your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember, beauty is found within Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...

I really like the lyrics.
I'm not sure how I feel about the male singer. The female singer is fantastic, and it feels like the male doesn't even come close to her caliber. I guess that could be the point of the song, but it detracted from my enjoyment of the song.
Of course, you know me. Play it 10 more times, and I'll start singing along, soon.
Oh, that's a good point, I probably should have mentioned it.
The male singer in this song is the guy who writes all the music, he also is the keyboard player in the band.
He doesn't like the way he sings, so after their first album the bassist took over male vocal duties, and he does sound better.
