Lana Lane grew up in a very music-oriented family, with the sounds of her mother's voice and the radio constantly filling the air. Naturally, Lana picked this up and started becoming seriously interested in singing in high school. She moved to Los Angeles to further her career where she met future husband, music producer, and synth/keyboardist Erik Norlander. The two eventually founded their own production company/record label Think Tank Media to release their work. She has produced many recordings using a many guest musicians such as Pain of Salvation's Kristoffer Gildenlow.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen, mastermind of Ayreon, Ambeon, Stream of Passion, and Star One, took note of Lana's voice, and the two have collaborated on a few projects together. Arjen took a part in the writing of Tarot, and Lana did guest vocals on Ayreon's Universal Migrator albums, for example.
Lana has produced many albums over the years, though Secrets of Astrology and Queen of the Ocean are the most widely known.
The Nightingale
Lana Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of gold and crimson hues
Was a prision to a nightingale
Who sang of love
A love she dreamed of
One stormy night
Her cage fell to the ground
Flying so righ
She touched the sky
Never looking back to the see the sadness
That she left behind
Never Knowing where the moon
Would guide her
As the night turns to day
And the stars kneel to pray
You can almost hear her song of life
Each passing day,the Emperor grew pale
Having lost his only sunshine
A broken heart tore him apart
One final breath was taken with a smile
As the velvet song of the nightingale
Flew so high
Piercing the sky
Never looking back to the see the sadness
That she left behind
Never Knowing where the moon
Would guide him
As the night turns to day
And the stars kneel to pray
You can almost hear her song of life
Throught the clouds on the mountains high
Lonely winds sing a lullaby
As the nightingale returns once more
Never looking back to the see the sadness
That she left behind
Never Knowing where the moon
Would guide her
As the night turns to day
And the stars kneel to pray
You can almost hear her song of life
Throught the clouds on the mountains high
Lonely winds sing a lullaby
As the nightingale returns once more
The lyrics of Lana Lane's "The Nightingale" tells a heartwarming story of a caged bird who dreams of a love that is beyond her reach. The nightingale was a prisoner in the Emperor's garden, which is described as being "of gold and crimson hues." She expressed her longing for love through her beautiful songs, but her wings were clipped, and she remained trapped in her cage. However, fate intervened one stormy night when her cage fell to the ground. The winds were howling, and the rain was cold, but the nightingale's dream of freedom gave her the strength to take flight. She soared high into the sky, leaving the Emperor's garden behind and embarking on a new journey.
The Emperor was heartbroken after losing the nightingale. He grew pale, and his broken heart tore him apart. The nightingale's final act was to grant the Emperor peace by singing a beautiful velvet song before passing on. She flew higher and higher, piercing the sky and never looking back to see the sadness she left behind. Her song is so beautiful that it echoes through the clouds on the mountains high. The lyrics of the song tell a touching story of a caged bird who longs for freedom and love and ultimately finds it, but only after touching many hearts.

The Emperor's garden
The lavish and grand garden belonged to the Emperor
Of gold and crimson hues
The garden was rich in colors of gold and crimson
Was a prison to a nightingale
The garden was like a cage for the nightingale
Who sang of love
The nightingale sang about love
A love she dreamed of
The nightingale longed for a love that she could only dream of
One stormy night
On a night filled with storms and unrest
Her cage fell to the ground
The nightingale's cage fell to the ground
On a wind so cold it carried knives
The wind that night was piercingly cold, almost like sharp knives
Flying so high
The nightingale soared high up in the sky
She touched the sky
The nightingale reached for the sky and touched it
Never looking back to the see the sadness That she left behind
The nightingale did not look back at the sorrow she left behind
Never Knowing where the moon Would guide her
The nightingale did not know where the moon would lead her
As the night turns to day And the stars kneel to pray
As the night gives way to day, and the stars make way for prayer
You can almost hear her song of life
One can almost hear the nightingale's beautiful song that symbolizes life
Each passing day, the Emperor grew pale
With each day that passed, the Emperor grew pale and weak
Having lost his only sunshine
He lost the only source of happiness in his life
A broken heart tore him apart
His heart shattered into pieces with sorrow
One final breath was taken with a smile
The Emperor took his final breath with a smile
As the velvet song of the nightingale Flew so high Piercing the sky
The gentle, soothing song of the nightingale echoed through the sky, piercing it
As the nightingale returns once more
The nightingale returns once more to spread her song of life
Through the clouds on the mountains high Lonely winds sing a lullaby
Amidst the mountains, the winds hum a lonely lullaby
