Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish is the third compilation album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Their first, Tales from the Elvenpath, was considered incomplete by many fans as it contains only tracks from Oceanborn, Over the Hills and Far Away, Wishmaster and Century Child, leaving out Angels Fall First. This compilation, though, contains songs from all previously released Nightwish albums, plus a live cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes".
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the long road and on down to the causeway Do they still meet there by the cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running. To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide but the highest altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world. Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon though down this road we've been so many times.

Likewise, with the exception of their still tentative (and therefore, on this collection, mostly ignored) first album, Nightwish showed equal mastery at composing potent power metal ("Sacrament of Wilderness," "Wishmaster," "Dead to the World") and tear-jerking ballads ("Walking in the Air," "Dead Boy's Poem," "Sleeping Sun") in all phases of their career
Walking In The Air. Nightwish. Highest Hopes-The Best Of Nightwish.
Per tutti gli amanti del power, symphonic metal, ecco l' intero best dei Nightwish, mitica formazione finlandese la cui cantane era una certa Tarja Turunen . prima che intraprendesse la sua strepitosa carriera solista. L'album antologico è stato pubblicato nel 2005. 2 weeks ago. Together with Epica/Within Temptation, the best "band" out there! They should do a tour together, it would be EPIC. Me love this music! 2 weeks ago. Where is the "Two for Tragedy" ? The best! Why not here? 2 weeks ago. Thanks to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd for High Hopes. A very difficult song to cover, namely going from progressive rock by a symphonic metal band. Nighttwish did a good job all things considered!
