The Siren history:
The Siren is the third true extract from the album Once for Europe, after Nemo (April 2004) and Wish I Had An Angel (September 2004). Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan was also released as a single at the end of November 2004 but only in Finland (and as an EP in February 2005, in Japan). After two very “single oriented” songs, The Siren is a more subtle and artistic choice but allowed us to discover the elaborateness and diversity of Once. The depth of the orchestra, its imposing presence, Marco’s powerful voice, Tarja’s oriental and previously unheard vocals, and one of Tuomas’ favorite topics: this is a song that cannot be ignored. It probably is not the most commercial single but truly the bolder.  Bold can also be used to describe the pseudo-video that was uploaded on Nuclear Blast website as the “official video” and was then quickly taken off because of the fiasco that followed. Actually, the video was so bad that the band refused it.
