這首的原唱是愛爾蘭吉他英雄Gary Moore,後來被Nightwish第一任主唱Tarja翻唱一個聲樂唱法的版本
再來是Storm Seeker的主唱Patricia (Patty Gurdy)搭配她拿手的Hurdy Gurdy及團員的大提琴做了一個民謠風的cover
三種版本各有特色,但這首歌在講的其實是一個綠光罩頂的故事......
這是1987年Gary Moore的原唱(逝世於2011)
這是Nightwish的翻唱版,Tarja的嗓音加強了戲劇性,北歐天團在拍MV真的超有劇情性(誠意滿滿)
最後是我最喜歡的版本,Patricia的輕民謠版,這MV還特寫了古色古香的Hurdy Gurdy演奏畫面唷~
