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.

The Journey
Nightingale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The silence was gold for my soul
But I am heading back home, I return
To the world that I decide to leave
My life is a waste of time
I wish I could end it
But something won't let me go
I'm back, everything looks the same
All these people but I still alone
I'm soon to arrive at the place where my fear was born
Torn, torn apart
The scars are still bleeding inside
I'll never forgive you
One part of me always cry
And it's crying 'cause of you
So long ago
I gave you my heart, it was
So long ago
I gave you my soul, it was
So long ago
But you gave me hell in return
You made what I am here today
All the sadness you brought to my soul
Is something I'll never find ways to defy
If you could see me what you've done to me now
Maybe you would understand
The love you never gave me
Would have made me much stronger inside
But it is too late to change
So long ago
I gave you my heart
So long ago
And I gave you my soul
So long ago
And I gave you, I gave you my heart
So long ago
But you gave me hell in return
I'm back where the darkness began
All is empty, not a soul around
Where are you now?
Where did all of you go?
Nothing is left
Nothing is left from before
It seems like a lifetime has passed here
While I was gone
The lyrics of Nightingale's song The Journey tell the story of someone who has left their previous life and retreated into solitude. The tranquility of the silence they found was what their heart wanted, but they eventually return to the world that they chose to leave. The singer's life feels pointless, and they wish they could end it. However, they are unable to do so due to something that keeps them grounded. When the singer returns to their old world, it appears as though nothing has changed. Despite being surrounded by people, they feel alone; a feeling that intensifies as they reach the place where their fear was born. The scars from that event remain, and the anger they feel towards the person responsible for that hurt remains as well. They gave that person their heart and soul, but received nothing but pain in return. They blame that person for who they are now; the sadness they brought upon their soul shapes the singer's character. If that person had only given them the love they deserved, they could have been much stronger inside. The singer is left wondering where all these people went and what happened to the world they left behind. The journey seems to have lasted a lifetime.
The song's message is a portrayal of broken hearts, the consequences of past mistakes, and the impact it has on those around us. The lyrics showcase how one person can have a profound impact on another person's life, leaving a permanent mark that changes the course of their journey. It also speaks about emotional resilience, or the lack thereof, and how the loss of hope and purpose can take its toll on an individual. It is a relatable message for anyone who has ever experienced a loss or heartbreak.

My heart never wanted to leave
Leaving was never my heart's desire
The silence was gold for my soul
The silence was a treasure for my soul
But I am heading back home, I return
But I am returning home
To the world that I decide to leave
I once decided to leave this world
My life is a waste of time
I feel like my life is meaningless
I wish I could end it
I wish I could end my life
But something won't let me go
Something is stopping me from doing so
I'm back, everything looks the same
I have returned, everything looks familiar
All these people but I still alone
Despite all the people, I still feel alone
I'm soon to arrive at the place where my fear was born
I am soon to return to the place where my fear originated
Torn, torn apart
I am torn, completely broken
The scars are still bleeding inside
The wounds are still fresh and painful within me
I'll never forgive you
I will never be able to forgive you
One part of me always cry
A part of me is always weeping
And it's crying 'cause of you
And it is crying because of you
So long ago
It was so long ago
I gave you my heart, it was
I gave you my heart
So long ago
It was so long ago
I gave you my soul, it was
I gave you my soul
So long ago
It was so long ago
But you gave me hell in return
But you gave me a living nightmare in response
You made what I am here today
You are the reason for what I am today
All the sadness you brought to my soul
All the sadness you induced in me
Is something I'll never find ways to defy
It is something I'll never be able to defy
If you could see me what you've done to me now
If you could see what you've done to me now
Maybe you would understand
Perhaps you would comprehend
The love you never gave me
The affection you never expressed towards me
Would have made me much stronger inside
Would have filled me with strength from within
But it is too late to change
It is now too late to make amends
I'm back where the darkness began
I've returned to where the darkness originated
All is empty, not a soul around
Everything is empty, and no one is around
Where are you now?
Where are you presently?
Where did all of you go?
Where did you all disappear to?
Nothing is left
There is nothing left
Nothing is left from before
Nothing remains from the past
It seems like a lifetime has passed here
It appears like a lifetime has passed here
While I was gone
During the time I was absent
