ThatРІР‚в„ўs why I like this song thereРІР‚в„ўs lots of variety and the song is always interesting to perform live. РІР‚СљIРІР‚в„ўm a big fan of old prog rock and this is a song that has a lot of different parts going on, and different atmospheres in different places in order to support the story.

I really like the oriental mixes that we got on this song, and the story about the certain odyssey going on there.РІР‚Сњ The Siren is a weird piece because it almost has no lyrics and just a few lines, but it still has a vibe of its own. РІР‚СљWe took a big leap forward when we released Nemo as a single, but I think my favourite songs from the Once album are Ghost Love Score and The Siren. Being Finnish country boys, weРІР‚в„ўve always gotten along really well and this band has felt like home ever since I joined.РІР‚Сњ IРІР‚в„ўd been playing in bands for quite a while already, and I had a studio engineering side job, but once I joined Nightwish I didnРІР‚в„ўt really go back to that because I started touring a lot. РІР‚СљI have many happy memories from making this album and I got to do a lot of the vocals on this song. They gave me a lot of freedom with the bass lines for this album, and I put in a few fills including the nice bass effects close to the end of this song.РІР‚Сњ They called me when they had some trouble with their former bass player around 2001. Before Nightwish I was playing bass and doing some background vocals in a band called Sinergy and we were warming up for the band in 2000.

Shot: Mid shot Angle: flat ASD: 5 Description: the islander begins to moor his airship to stop it from travelling away Meaning: This is something that people do with boats when stopping them from floating away, this maintains the similarity between the boats and the airships in the music video

Shot: Wide Angle: Flat ASD: 5 Description: the islander is standing there, the camera moves in on him as his ship raises up in the air. The ring of fire can be interpreted as warm protection in contrast to the rest of the video which connotes the cold.
