Nightwish – Alpenglow (Orchestral)

Alpenglow (Orchestral)

Written by Tuomas Holopainen

//Trivia:

Tuomas Holopainen revealed in a finnish interview, that "Alpenglow" is a love song. He explained, that there are enough terrible songs like for a example "Always" by Bon Jovi and the secret is, to approach universal themes like love or death from a different perspective and to translate this into music.


// Track information

Track number 7 of the album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful (Orchestral Version)" by Nightwish. This version is straight from the CD featured in the Earbook edition, as it features a great mastering (compared to today's standard at least).

Since this is my all-time favourite track from any musician ever, I'll upload it anyway, even though it is easily accessible. Besides, it features this wonderful artwork by Janne Pitkänen.


// Attention

YouTube compression will always take away some quality, but the average listener shouldn't notice.

I do not own any rights for this track and if you like it, I would recommend you buy the album (above all because it is great, really). The rights lie with the band and their respective partners and since this video does NOT fall under fair use, they have any right to take it down should they want to (though I hope they do not do that).
