Nightwish is making money nowadays. The costs of making their new album were 500 000 euros which is pretty much for a metal band, so they probably expect a good revenue. Nightwish is clearly targeting to mainstream and expects good sales. Well, that’s nothing new and there is nothing bad in it. It is just interesting to see how far Nightwish will go.

Nightwish music videos are directed by Antti Jokinen, a professional Finnish director who has worked with many “big names”. When watching the Nightwish videos, especially the old ones and comparing them to Amaranth and Nemo, you can clearly see the development. The new Nightwish music videos are just perfectly made and they belong into the “top class”, let’s say. I am glad for that. It is always good to see bands of my homecountry becoming famous. I just wish this same would happen to Amorphis, C.O.B., Stam1na, Mokoma, Wintersun, etc..

According to Finnish media, the costs of making Nightwish video Nemo were 150 000 euros, which on that time was the most expensive music video made in Finland. The latest Nightwish video, Bye Bye Beautiful is also directed by Antti Jokinen. In the video band members are replaced by sexy babes. The idea comes probably from Queen’s video The Miracle in which the band members are replaced by little kids.

By the way, I would like to publish Nightwish lyrics, as well as other band’s lyrics, but I am not sure about the rights. They changed the rights in Finland some time ago, and because my server is located in Finland, I must follow the Finnish law. I need to find out. I read the lyrics many times because I sing as well, so I would like to provide you them for you as well. In this post I would provide you the Nightwish lyrics for their song Bye Bye Beautiful, but not yet.. Well, I will find out if it is legal. Meanwhile, here is Nightwish Bye Bye Beautiful music video, directed by Antti Jokinen. Cool, eh?
