Album cover.

Oceanborn is a symphonic power metal album and the second studio album by Nightwish. It was published on 1998-12-07. Many of the songs have a nautical theme which romanticizes early seafaring and exploration.

I learned about Nightwish after checking out the MySpace profile of a young woman I met at the Renaissance Festival with whom I was smitten by. She had them listed as one of her favorite bands, so I used Kazaa to download some of their songs, and the first one I listened to was Stargazers, which I immediately loved.
