Artist #1: Nighti… Read Full Bio ↴There are three artists with the name Nightingale.
Artist #1: Nightingale began in 1995 as a solo goth rock project of Dan Swanö, designed to explore his brief fascination with the genre, also evident on Edge of Sanity tracks such as "Sacrificed". The first album The Breathing Shadow was recorded and mastered by Swanö alone in the space of a week at his home Unisound studio.
The second album The Closing Chronicles was recorded in April 1996 with his brother Tom Nouga (real name Dag Swanö) acting as producer and contributing some guitar parts. It continues the conceptual storyline that began in The Breathing Shadow to the logical conclusion of the central characters death, as it was intended to be the last Nightingale album.
After this the band went on semi-hiatus, playing a couple of live concerts in small venues around Orebro with future permanent band member Erik Oskarsson on bass and Ari Halinoja playing the drums. The second concert, in October 1998 is remarkable because it marks one of the few times Edge of Sanity songs were performed live by Swanö, the band adding two lighter tracks to bulk out their set (Swanö scarcely performed live with Edge of Sanity, citing his inability to sustain death metal vocals for long enough).
The band returned to Unisound in April 1999 to expand upon a lost demo of the track 'I Return' recorded by Swanö and Nouga in September 1998. 2000's I is a prequel to the first two albums, half composed by Dan Swano and half by Tom Nouga, several of the tracks, such as Alonely and Dead or Alive being recycled by Nouga from previously abandoned projects and given new lyrics (the originals being both written in Swedish and outside the conceptual storyline).
For the recording of Alive Again in may 2002 (a sequel to the original "Breathing Shadow Trilogy" of I, The Breathing Shadow and The Closing Chronicles) the band was filled out with Tom Björn on drums and Erik Oskarsson returning as a permanent member. This record received the most critical acclaim yet upon its release in February 2003, partly owing to the increased exposure caused by their signing of a distribution deal with American label The End Records, and saw them play a string of live shows before travelling to Västerås in June 2004 to record Invisible, which is the band's first departure from their conceptual storyline approach, dealing with a wide array of topics from love to history. The band are currently preparing for their first major tour, after re-recording a set of tracks for a best-of album, Nightfall Overture, containing songs from their first four conceptual albums as well as an Edge of Sanity track and one new Nightingale song.
In 2006 the band had the honour to conclude the second and last day of the international progressive rock festival, InProg 2006. Later that year Dag stated on his website that he will no longer be using his alias Tom Nouga;
"In Sep-06 I decided to stop using the name Tom Nouga and play under my real name"
The band's latest album is White Darkness and it was released 4th of June, 2007.

Artist #2:Nightingale was formed in 1993 by Jeremiah McLane (accordion, piano), Keith Murphy (voice, guitar, mandolin, piano, foot percussion), and Becky Tracy (fiddle). The nightingale bird is a poetic figure that appears in traditional songs from many places including parts of Northern Europe, Canada and the United States. So the nightingale was an appropriate emblem for a band commited to drawing inspiration from a wide musical territory that includes Ireland, France, Scandinavia, Newfoundland and Quebec.
The band's first recording, The Coming Dawn was made in 1994, barely a year after the band's formation. It was produced by Pete Sutherland and it captured the fresh, raw energy of the band as well as establishing Nightingale's sophistication as players and arrangers of an eclectic mix of traditional music.
Less than two years later, the band took on a more ambitious recording project - Sometimes When the Moon is High, produced by Grey Larsen. The album was recorded in Joliette Quebec at the (just newly finished) studio of La Bottine Souriante pianist, Denis Frechette. More musically complex and more tightly arranged, this album won the band attention and praise from a wider audience.
Throughout this period, Nightingale travelled extensively playing concerts and dance events around the U.S. and also in Canada, the U.K., France and Denmark.
Nightingale's most recent recording - Three , released in June 2004. The CD was produced by Denis Frechette and recorded in Brattleboro, VT. It reflects Nightingale's past while also breaking new ground.

Artist #3: Nightingale, formed in 2003, is a project of Gaspard de la Nuit (Caspar Wijnberg, who stands for the 'night' in the band), singer Abigael Klumperbeek (that would be the "gale") and Eelco van Zanten. Their debutalbum "For A Change" is recorded in Wijnberg and Bas Bron (Bastian) their studio in Amsterdam. The music consists of melodic funkpop, comparable to Bastian.

Nightingale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything's in line, but I′m bruised
I need a voice to echo, I need a light to take me home
I kinda need a hero, is it you?
I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind
Can you be my Nightingale?
Sing to me, I know you′re there
You could my sanity
Bring me peace, sing me to sleep
Say you′ll be my Nightingale
Somebody speak to me, 'cause I′m feeling like hell
Need you to answer me, I'm overwhelmed
I need a voice to echo, I need a light to take me home
I need to star to follow, I don′t know
I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind
I think it′s time for you to find me
Can you be my Nightingale?
Sing to me, I know you're there
You could my sanity
Bring me peace, sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my Nightingale
I don′t know what I′d do without you
Your words are like a whisper coming through
As long as you're with me here tonight, I′m good
Can you be my Nightingale?
Feel so close, I know you're there
Ohhhh Nightingale
Sing to me, I know you′re there
'Cause baby you′re my sanity
You bring me peace, sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my Nightingale, oh
The song "Nightingale" by Demi Lovato is a vulnerable and emotional plea for comfort and reassurance from a loved one. The lyrics express a feeling of confusion, loneliness and being overwhelmed. The singer feels lost and unable to navigate their own life without their hero, their Nightingale, to guide them home. They plead for their Nightingale to sing to them and bring them peace, to be their light in the dark and their voice to echo.
In the first verse of the song, the singer expresses a feeling of being bruised despite everything being in line. This suggests that everything may look good on the surface, but internally they are struggling. The chorus is a cry for help, asking their Nightingale to bring them peace and be their savior. The singer shows a feeling of dependence on their Nightingale.
The second verse is similarly disorienting, expressing a need for guidance and assurance from the Nightingale. It is a common metaphor in literature and mythology, where the Nightingale is known for its sweet and melodic songs that have the power to soothe and heal. The singer in the song wants exactly that, to be comforted by the voice of their Nightingale.
Overall, "Nightingale" is a touching song about the feeling of being lost and overwhelmed and the need for reassurance and comfort from a loved one.

that needing to play online/there servers, means that you do not own what you purchased, you are just renting. the price tag will tell another story, I'm sure. love that you give us the info on it, thank you. even if i do not decide to get this one, it will still be good to watch you play it.
@mantisdragon6322
YEAH, i was really looking forward to this game and i got to try the stress test. was wondering what it was for if its single player. the servers were pretty slow. be interesting how much they want for this, but im already unhappy with the way we have to buy (rent) games already, forcing me to be online while playing is making me not want to buy
@Micro_Tyrant_Games
Online servers are never a definite (many games have online options and offline OR will add offline later. Also they have already announced the game will be $30 at the time of early access launch, Feb 20.
@mantisdragon6322
@@Micro_Tyrant_Games that price doesnt sound too bad, though the character customisation is a bit basic
@anthonyfoote3178
No offline play is a no go for me. If I end gaming due to industry wide change, all the better for my health. I should be raising chickens anyway.
@jpvielleux
Always online is unfortunate. I was thinking through the whole video that I was definitely going to grab this on release but I guess not. I'll just live vicariously through Glock and save my money.
@skincarver462
I'm now imagining a full game narrated by glock."pick up the sticks dummies" "yeah they're berries! guess what you do with them?" "OK it's called a weapon you knuckle dragging plebeian you use on enemies"
@insaimgaming6732
Even if it was just a tutorial, I think this would be a fantastic idea
@saganathasme
Yes! We need a game-company to hire Glock to do the tutorial!
@YourBoyWang
If I made a game I would have him narrate it
