About Winds

Winds is a Norwegian progressive/neoclassical metal band formed in 1998. The music is largely influenced by classical music, with Andy Winter's piano work and Carl August Tidemann's guitar solos often the central focuses. The lyrics are written by Winter, and deal mostly with astral and existentialist philosophy.

Notable quotes

“"Love is like a wind stirring the grass beneath trees on a black night," he had said. "You must not try to be definite and sure about it and to live beneath the trees, where soft night winds blow, the long hot day of disappointment comes swiftly and the gritty dust from passing wagons gathers upon lips inflamed and made tender by kisses."”
— Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio, (1919), "Death".
“But certain winds will make men's temper bad.”
— George Eliot, The Spanish Gypsy (1868), Book I.
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind…”
— Hosea 8:7 (KJV)
“Indoors or out, no one relaxes In March, that month of wind and taxes, The wind will presently disappear, The taxes last us all the year.”
— Ogden Nash, Versus (1949), "Thar She Blows".
“Let the winds blow! a fiercer gale Is wild within me! what may quell That sullen tempest? I must sail Whither, O whither, who can tell!”
— Edmund Clarence Stedman (1833 - 1908), "Amavi".
“There are, indeed, few merrier spectacles than that of many windmills bickering together in a fresh breeze over a woody country; their halting alacrity of movement, their pleasant business, making bread all day with uncouth gesticulation; their air, gigantically human, as of a creature half alive, put a spirit of romance into the tamest landscape.”
— Robert Louis Stevenson, Foreigner at Home.
