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

Better Lyrics:
I wish I had a bagel for one moment of lunch.
I wish I had a bagel, that doughy, crisp crunch
I wish I had a bagel
I'm so bored with my lunch.
'Cause I'm tired of Cap'n Crunch
I wish I had a bagel to bite
I wish I had a bagel, that doughy, crisp crunch
I wish I had a bagel
I'm so bored with my lunch.
'Cause I'm tired of Cap'n Crunch
I wish I had a bagel to bite
Original Lyrics:
I wish I had an angel for one moment of love
I wish I had an angel, your Virgin Mary undone. BR>
I'm in love with my lust. BR>
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight.
I wish I had an angel, your Virgin Mary undone. BR>
I'm in love with my lust. BR>
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight.

"The Poet and The Pendulum" Length: 13:34
Although there are no lyrics (apart from screams and crazed laughing) the instrumental music is very good and not at all boring throughout any of the 13 minutes.
Submitted by: Nikki
"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.
