(1) Wizzard was Roy Wood’s post- ELO project. They made catchy glam-rock hit singles like "Angel Fingers" and "See My Baby Jive" with a retro, Phil Spector-style "wall of sound" production. At the same time, they produced decidedly odd, almost avant-garde albums like Wizzard Brew. Wizzard were active from roughly 1972-1975.
(2) One of them is a 'blackened' heavy metal band from Finland. It enjoyed some success in Finland and Germany though even some fans wondered why they had taken the name of Roy Wood's famous band – the other z was actually added because the band didn't want to be confused with the German band Wizard. The band was founded by Teemu Kautonen as his solo-project in August 1995, and he handled all the instruments on the first demo, Teemu moved the band to Germany in April 1997 adding new local musicians CY and Daniel to the line-up. In August Teemu returned to Finland, but moved back to Germany in January 2001, and CY and Daniel came along again. Also a new guitarist Johnny joined the band.
Last known lineup:
Teemu Kautonen aka Hexenmeister - Vocals, originally also Bass & Guitars
CY aka Grobi - Drums
Daniel - Lead Guitars, Bass
Johnny - Rhythm Guitars

Angel Fingers
Wizzard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filled with those famous teenage pictures that you keep
Will Dion still be so important to you on your wedding day?
Angel fingers angel fingers
How I sing for the things you do
How it lingers angel fingers
That's why I fell in love with you
I drove my motorcycle to that small cafe
That's when I heard our favorite record start to play
If I'm not singing in a suit that's clinging
Please don't walk away
Angel fingers angel fingers
How I sing for the things you do
How it lingers angel fingers
That's why I fell in love with you
If I could land a job with that cool rockin' band
You'd notice me with that red guitar in my hand
With money in my jeans baby
We could have all the things we planned
Angel fingers angel fingers
How I sing for the things you do
How it lingers angel fingers
That's why I fell in love with you
The Wizzard's song "Angel Fingers" is a nostalgic journey through teenage memories as well as a hopeful expression of future dreams. The opening lines refer to the sentimental photographs teenagers often keep as cherished memories. It speaks of a young man’s love for a woman who performs small miracles with her gentle touch - the "angel fingers." The lyrics pose interesting questions such as "Will Dion still be so important to you on your wedding day?' implying that the things that seem important to us as teenagers may not seem that important to us when we have grown up. The chorus "Angel fingers, how I sing for the things you do, how it lingers, angel fingers, that’s why I fell in love with you" conveys the depth of affection the singer has for the woman.
The second verse narrates a scene where the singer drives his motorcycle to a cafe where he hears their favorite record playing. Here, he tries to convince the woman not to walk away from him. The lyrics showcase his willingness to change his style and personality for her. In the final verse, he expresses his ambition to join a rock band and buy all the things he dreamt of. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus "Angel fingers, how I sing for the things you do, how it lingers, angel fingers, that’s why I fell in love with you," emphasizing on the depth of his love.
