Do you think perhaps Erik would enjoy singing my little parody-thingy "The Wonderful Warlow of Oz"? I reckon his Ant-rik side would appreciate it! *well, rather i hope!*

And the first song for "Emptiness - The Musical" - though I'm not sure whether this would be sung by Erik, Christine or Raoul.
Torn Between Two Lovers - Mary McGregor
(Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool, loving both of you is breaking all the rules)
Maybe it could be sung by all three at various stages during the show!

"You're my World' - Cilla Black (the classic) or Darryl Braithwaites
The sentiments in the last version are so totally Erik....
If our love ceases to be
Then it's the end of my world
The end of my world
The end of my world for me.

I Touch Myself - The Divinyls (I don't want anybody else, and when I think about you I touch myself)
Look up the lyrics - this song could have been written with Erik in mind!
Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi ( I want to lay you down in a bed of roses,for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails)
Same pretty much applies to this song as well, and it has the immortal line "I wake up and French Kiss the morning"!

Another few have always throught Phantomy sediments.....
On My Own - from Les Mis - have a recording of Michael Crawford singing this, and when this usaully female sung song is change to a male vocal it is Erik
Just see after the final lair.......
And now I'm all alone again,
No where to turn, no one to go to
Without a hope, without a friend, Without a face to say hello to
but now the night is near,
and I can make believe she's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of her and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head.
On my own
Pretending she's beside me
All alone, I walk with her till morning
Without her
I feel her arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And she has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is her and me for ever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to her
And although I know that she is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love her
But when the night is over
She is gone, the river's just a river
Without her the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love her
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me her world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!
I love her
I love her
I love her
But only on my own
The Story of my Life - Neil Diamond - 'story of my life, begins and ends with you'

When You're Gone- Avril Lavigne. Perfect for ANGST!Erik
Where's the girl?- The Scarlet Pimpernel. 'Where's the girl (reprise)' is just packed with final lair angst;
"Let her go, let her live, let her die on her own."
"We are all of us bruised and alone."
"The best of our dreams fell apart."

There are actually some Nightwish songs which just SCREAM Erik:
Beauty And the Beast
"Didn't you read the tale
Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?
Don't you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I'll never have
For who could ever learn to love a beast?"
Gethsemene
"Toll no bell for me Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done..."
"Another Beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinite dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise
Forgive me for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose"
""I knew you never before
I see you never more
But the love the pain the hope O beautiful one
Have made you mine 'till all my years are done"
Without you
The poetry within me is dead"
Dead Boy's Poem
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can`t say
Forget what you can`t play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh...
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears
For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I`m sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."
A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
Beauty Of The Beast: Long Lost Love
"Oh, do you care,
I still feel for you
So aware,
What should be lost is there
I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark
My long lost love"
"All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes
I wish I had one more night to live"
"Sanest choice in the insane world:
Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers"
Ghost Love Score
"A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n loss"
"Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose"
The Poet And The Pendulum
((This song in particular is just amazingly Erik))
"The end.
The songwriter's dead.
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
Of Empathica
Of Innocence
Empathica
Innocence"
"One last perfect verse
Is still the same old song
Oh Christ how I hate what I have become"
"Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for God
Save me"
"Sparkle my scenery
With turquoise waterfall
With beauty underneath
The Ever Free"
"The morning dawned, upon his altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came"
"Be still, my son
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end
I will always love you
The beginning."
- I could go on and on but these are just some examples of the music of Nightwish which I swear to God could have been written by Erik himself - its amazing! ^_^ One of the reasons I love this band so much!
