After years of struggling to get this single released, and at first not getting the approval from Michael Newman who said that recording and everything related to it should be destroyed (?!? and after hearing IT, I can only say what a jerk!), THE DAY has come...
Finnish band Nightwish got the permission to release their version of the song The Heart Asks Pleasure First. It can be found on newly released single The Crow The Owl and The Dove, from their latest album Imaginaerum, in both versions - with lyrics, and as instrumental. Lyrics for this master-peace, are written by, who else, than the master Tuomas Holopainen himself.
Though, it was not in plan for them to release any kind of bonus tracks for Imaginaerum, I`m glad they made this exception. It`s completely out of Imaginaerum story, but in some way the song fits the scenery perfectly.
The Heart Asks Pleasure First
Silent night surrounding me
On the shore of wistful sea
A kindest heart made me believe
The world as I wish it to be
Wind in the wheat
Kiss by a hearth
Little hideaways for a lonely heart
Cast away in beauty’s gloom
The good in me, the child within
A cruelest heart made me forget
The world as I wish it to be
Home inside, but lost for life
Human heart longing for love
Slave to the toil, this mortal coil
The strife, the suffering, the void
Wind in the wheat
Kiss by a hearth
A dead calm winter morn,
Morning birds, and a smile of a stranger
Frozen moments in time
Little hideaways, the marrow of life
Little hideaways for a lonely heart
Wind in the wheat
Kiss by a hearth
Little hideaways for a lonely heart
Silent night surrounding me
On the shore of wistful sea
A kindest heart made me believe
The world as I wish it to be.
