"Ghost Love Score" is a 10 minute and 2 seconds lasting song from the Finnish symphonic metal ensemble Nightwish. The song can be found on their 2004 album Once, and was composed by the band's keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. An instrumental version of the song was added to the single Wish I Had an Angel, which lasts 12 seconds longer.
In 2006, Nightwish released their live 2 CD doublepack, End of an Era. Track 4 on disc 2 is a live version of Ghost Love Score, which clocks in at 10 minutes and 28 seconds.
The song is not only the longest one-parted song Nightwish has made up to date, it is also regarded as one of the most epic pieces of their oeuvre.[citation needed] In the song, a choir sings:
- My fall will be for you
- My love will be in you
- If you be the one to
- Cut me I'll bleed forever
- (the last two lines later on change into:
- You were the one to cut me
- So I will bleed forever)
Besides the choir, Tarja Turunen's vocals feature in this song. She sings about a love that ceases to exist (the "ghost love").
- (Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home)
