Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Angels, they fell first but I'm still here." This lyric refers to the title of Nightwish's first album. It comes from which song on "Century Child"?

Answer: End of All Hope

"Angels Fall First" is Nightwish's first album and has more of a folk metal bent to it than any of their other albums. According to the CD's liner notes, their fourth album "Century Child" went gold in two hours and hit platinum in ten days.

2. In "Ghost Love Score", what earlier track title from "Once" fits into the blank space? "________ from the deep came to me Sang my name, my longing".

Answer: The Siren

"The Siren" and "Ghost Love Score" both contain sitar music, creating another link between the songs. "The Siren" and "Planet Hell" both contain numerous references to Greek mythology, including the titular sirens, Gaia, and having to pay the ferryman to cross the River Styx.

3. Which track from "Angels Fall First" fits into this lyric from "Dead Gardens"? "Where are the wolves The underwater moon The _________, the haven of youth Lagoons of the starlit sea".

Answer: Elvenpath

As "Dead Gardens" is about writer's block, it seems appropriate to refer to a previous song when wondering where the inspiration has gone. "Elvenpath" has references to "The Lord of the Rings" in its explanations of the forging of the rings of power.

Answer: "Ever Dream" and "Forever in the Dream"

"Ever Dream," "Slaying the Dreamer," "The Phantom of the Opera," and "Beauty of the Beast" appear on "Century Child". "Beauty and the Beast" is not a cover of the song from the Disney film, although the lyrics contain references to the fairy tale. However, "The Phantom of the Opera" is a cover of the song from the Webber opera. "Forever in the Dream" is not a Nightwish song, at least through 2015.

5. Tarja sings the title of which song in this lyric from "Ever Dream"? "Your beauty cascaded on me In this ______________".

Answer: White Night Fantasy

"White Night Fantasy" is the name of a bonus track on the re-release of the 2004 album "Once". "Sacrament of Wilderness", "Bare Grace Misery", and "Deep Silent Complete" come from "Oceanborn", "Dark Passion Play", and "Wishmaster".

6. In one song on "Imaginaerum", the singer refers to the earlier track "I Want My Tears Back" by saying that something in the title "brought back your tears". What is this song's name?

Answer: Turn Loose the Mermaids

The line goes, "The mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears". "Imaginaerum" contains a variety of song styles, such as smooth jazz for "Slow, Love, Slow" and a lullaby-style tone for "Taikatalvi". "Turn Loose the Mermaids" has the sound of a Celtic ballad with a Spaghetti Western-inspired instrumental bridge.

7. Some of Nightwish's album titles are also song titles; others appear only in lyrics. Which of these album names is not also the name of a track on the album?

Answer: Century Child

"Century Child" is said in that album's "Dead to the World". The other three answers have songs whose titles share the album name. "Imaginaerum" is an orchestral medley of several songs on that album, including "Storytime", "Rest Calm", and "Song of Myself". While the songs on "Imaginearum" were composed by Tuomas Holopainen and Marco Hietala, Pip Williams arranged this medley.

8. The lyrics "wind in the wheat" appear in "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" and in what other song on "Imaginaerum"?

Answer: I Want My Tears Back

"The Heart Asks Pleasure First", the B-side for the "The Crow, the Owl and the Dove" single, is a cover of the main theme from the 1993 film "The Piano". The original piece has no lyrics; Nightwish added their own. "Wind in the wheat" is part of the first verse of "I Want My Tears Back" and part of the refrain of "The Heart Asks Pleasure First".

9. "Dead Boy's Poem", "Bless the Child", and "Dead to the World" all contain in their lyrics the title of what song from the "Century Child" album?

Answer: Ocean Soul

The words are part of the second spoken portion of "Bless the Child" and are sung in the other two songs. "Nightquest" is a bonus track on the re-release of "Oceanborn".

10. Which lengthy track from "Century Child" alludes to "Dead Boy's Poem" with this lyric? "I'm but a poet who failed his best play. A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending To each of his poems".

Answer: Beauty of the Beast

"Beauty of the Beast" is comprised of three sections. Section one is "Long Lost Love." The second section, "One More Night to Live", contains the song's title. "Christabel", the third section, is spoken rather than sung, and contains the allusion above.
