As a 20+ years NW fan I have to say it takes guts courage to make a NW cover and it takes talent to make it that good.

[@paisa20]

Well said

[@tore650]

My first thought too, taking on Nightwish is not something most people can handle but PG did a really good job!

[@senacht]

Well done! “Who dares wins.” as the motto goes. And dittos for having the courage to tackle a NW song. They are easily the current hardest act to follow.

[@belac48621]

I heard plenty of covers, and most of them are missing that special sound NW has. PG hit that very well here!

[@nixellion]

And also to slay the vocal part!

[@speurtighearnamacterik8230]

Once there was a lass wearing a bonfire for a crown. Whoever heard her play could never again wear a frown. Wander far and wide she would. Her music a force of pure good.

[@jjeshop]

😅

[@Nico6th]

"bonfire for a crown" I like that line! It paints a very interesting picture and it perfectly brings across what is meant. Plus the connection between red hair, witchcraft, and (bon)fires... very nice!

[@speurtighearnamacterik8230]

@@Nico6th Why thank you good Robin. I wont deny I spent a few moments and rewrote the opener several times before I hit upon that turn of phrase but the rest flowed easily after.

Lyrics: We live in every moment but this one Why don't we recognize the faces loving us so What's God if not the spark that started life Smile of a stranger Sweet music, starry skies Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes Early wake-ups in a moving home Scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun Open theme park gates waiting for Riding the day, every day into sunset Finding the way back home Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead This moment the dawn of humanity The last ride of the day

I used to be a bicycle courier in Budapest when this song came out...and always finished my day shift riding back to home to this. It was a harsh winter and slaloming through endless lines of cars on steep, frozen descents with ~50 km/h while listening to this masterpiece was a great experience I would be happy to relieve.

What is the name of the variant of stringed instrument you are bowing in this video. I also agree with the vast majority of respondents that this is too short. It’s just a teaser. Is there a longer version of this tune available or to be released. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That is a Nyckelharpa, they are used quite a lot in Scandinavian folk music.

@@draug7966 thanks for the information. There were several cultural variations of ancient stringed instruments and I suspected it might have been a North European variety. Appreciate the input.
