A while ago I translated the texts into Dutch so that my father could understand them. He really liked it. He passed away last week. After sending this song to my mother and siblings, they unanimously chose to play it at the funeral, although the music style is foreign to them. Powerful music always reaches the heart. Thanks Marko.

[@RaymondBCrisp]

Well said!

[@PpMm007]

when my father is dead, l don't know why, but I listened to this MARKO HIETALA - Isäni ääni (Official video), this version of the same song but then I've found this English version and understand WHY Marko you are the best without you Nightwish is nothing thank you man!

[@mastershad0w]

Meu Pai faleceu dia 11/11/2022 em uma acidente na estrada, ele era carreteiro e gostava muito de Rock e Heavy Metal... Ele curtia muito as musicas em que o Marko Hietala cantava no Nightwish, a favorita dele era " Wish I Had an Angel". Sou fã do Marko desde que conheci o Nightwish em 2003, e fico feliz por meu Pai ter conhecido e apreciado a voz do Marko em diversas músicas. Eu já gostava dessa música, mas agora mais do que nunca, sempre que eu ouvir ela,vou lembrar do meu Pai...saudades eternas! :(

[@maki_shyna]

Wow my father died on the same date but in 2021 from a road accident, his favorite Nightwish music was "nemo". He was a fan of Nightwish since the beginning of the band and I grew up with his passion for metal and heavy metal and I started being a fan of Nightwish in 2013, I will never forget the memory I have with him where I was able to see Nightwish in concert for the first time in 2018! May our fathers rest in peace and may they look at us from where they are 🤍🕊️

I'm constantly amazed at how beautifully Marco sings whether he's screaming out metal anthems in TAROT or shaking our souls in NIGHTWISH, or singing very soulful ballads here. I've said for YEARS that he is one of the greatest voices in modern metal, and NOTHING I've heard here changes that opinion. In fact, it CONFIRMS it!

[@getthepointx]

The line "sing my song and I'll be with you" as the lyrics say is probably wrong. It should be "sing , my son, and I'll be with you". That would correspond best with the finnish version where he sings "pojkani" -> "my son". Plus in this version it also sounds rings out very clearly that he in fact is singing "son" and not "song". It's just a tiny typo/mistake, but with the right lyric the song ties together better. :)

As I concluded my comment "it's just a tiny typo, but with the right lyric the song ties together better". Also, it mattered to me to write about the typo, because maybe the creator of the lyric video really thought it was a different lyric. It was for clarification. That's why I took such a long time to explain it, which you confuse with me nitpicking. There was no ill will in my comment. Be nice Aiden.
