Певица, композитор, аранжировщик, автор поэтических текстов и просто красавица Кэндис Найт (р. 8 мая 1971 года, Нью-Йорк, США) ранее записывала партии бэк-вокала для "Deep Purple", "Rainbow" и "Twang". До поры до времени она оставалась в тени для большой аудитории, но не для зоркого гитарного рыцаря Ричи Блэкмора, который еще в 1989 году заприметил годящуюся ему в дочери прекрасную сладкоголосую блондинку (знакомство произошло на радиостанции "Long Island", где Кэндис вела свое шоу). Бросив в очередной раз разборки с "Deep Purple", Блэкмор в 1993 году вернулся к сольным проектам, из коих отнюдь не "Rainbow" (кстати, Кэндис выступила как соавтор 4-х композиций на альбоме "Stranger In Us All" 1995 года), а "Blackmore's Night" стал для него главным.
Семейный дуэт решил делать программу, соединяющую традиции музыки Возрождения, среднеевропейского фольклора и элементы поп-стилистики. Увлечение американки Кэндис кельтской культурой и старинной музыкой было разделено бывалым рокером Блэкмором, покорно сменившим свой Fender Stratocaster на акустическую гитару и забывшим о вдохновенных соляках на электрогитаре ради изящного аккомпанирования и виртуозных сольных номеров в средневековой "классической" манере. Впрочем, Ричи Блэкмор, с удовольствием принявший образ менестреля, поклоняющегося прекрасной даме, и сам давно уже интересовался культурой Средневековья и Возрождения.

В ансамбль также вошли высококлассные музыканты, некоторые из которых предпочли скрыться под псевдонимами: Сэр Роберт из Нормандии, басист, гитарист и бэк-вокалист; певица и композитор Леди Вита; перкуссионисты Майк Соррентино и Сквайр Малколм, клавишник Кармин Гигльо и мультиинструменталист Крис Девайн (электрическая и акустическая скрипка, мандолина, флейта, клавишные). Сир Роберт ранее продюсировал "Backstreet boys". Леди Вита ранее выступала в Нью-Йорке в качестве вокалистки, гитаристки, а также автора прекрасных композиций. Майк Соррентино играл ранее во многих группах, таких как "Zebra", "Kid gloves", "Toybox", "Wonderama" и др. Гигльо окончил высшую музыкальную школу и записывался со многими артистами и группами в качестве сессионного музыканта. Крис Девайн получил высшее музыкальное образование по классу скрипки, хотя играет на множестве инструментов. При его участии в качестве сессионного музыканта записано более ста дисков разных стилей, включая классику, джаз, кантри, фолк и поп.
Дебютный альбом "Blackmore's Night" 1997 года "Shadow of the Moon" был благосклонно принят поклонниками и достиг 14 места в хит-параде "Billboard", оставался 17 недель в чартах Германии и стал "золотым" в Японии. Альбом был полон прозрачных гитарно-акустических звучаний, изысканных в своей бесхитростности фолк-напевов, мечтательных любовных баллад, воинственных маршей и пружинистых жиг, перекличек задорных бубнов, дышал свежестью и искренностью. Среди треков присутствовала всемирно любимая "Greensleeves", а также обработка темы из "Лебединого озера" Чайковского. На флейте кое-где подыгрывал Ян Андерсон из "Jethro Tull".

Последовавший за ним в 1999 году "Under A Violet Moon" по идее был очень близок первому, порадовав широкую общественность интерпретацией русской народной песни "Полюшко-поле" и страстными псевдоиспанскими танцами с кастаньетами. Группа много гастролировала, давая костюмированные выступления в старинных замках, церквях, драматических и оперных театрах. В июле 2001 года увидел свет третий релиз от "Blackmore's Night" "Fires At Midnight", отличавшийся от предшественников лишь легким японским колоритом в одной из песен и чуть большей, чем прежде, ролью электрогитары.

Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...

I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...

I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...

Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...

I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...

The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...

I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...

"Greensleeves"

Alas my love, ye do me wrong to cast me out discourteously,
And I have loved you for so long delighting in your company...

Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but Lady Greensleeves...

"Spirit Of The Sea"

I took a walk along the shore
To clear my mind about the day,
I saw a man I'd seen before
As I approached, he slipped away...

I knew his face from years ago,
His smile stays with me ever more
His eyes, they guide me through the haze
And give me shelter from the storm...

As I walk I can feel him,
Always watching over me...
His voice surronds me,
My Spirit of the Sea...

He went away so long ago,
On a maiden voyage far away
A young man then I did not know,
His life was taken that same day...

And it was almost like he knew
He wouldn't see me anymore
He looked so deeply in my eyes, and said
"Wait for me along the shore..."

And so I come most every day,
To watch the waves rise and fall,
And as I sit here on the sand,
This ocean makes me feel so small...

But I feel my lover by my side,
And he makes me follow my own heart
We'll be together some sweet day
When that day comes we'll never part...

When that day comes we'll never part...
Wait for me along the shore...

"No Second Chance"

My diamond's clouded over where it used to shine like light,
And the day keeps running faster,
Into the arms of night...

The stitches on the tapestry say,
"Everything in time,
Will find it's way home again,"
But I'm tired of crying...

No Second Chances
Don't knock on my door
There won't be any answer
I won't be here no more...
This house we had together
Might still be in its place
But the rest of this is much too hard to face,
There'll be No Second Chance...

Lovely moonlight hours we spent
Walking on the beach,
We'd gaze up at the stars,
I swear they were in our reach...

But time... it went on,
Minutes... they ran too fast,
Like you they were gone...
Into the past...

"Renaissance Faire"

I was told once, by a friend of mine,
She had seen an olden sign,
She said she was not from this time,
And did I feel the same?

So I told her, "Yes", I knew her fear
As I left the truth draw near,
Told her back three hundred years,
Was the time that I held dear...

Gather ye lords and ladies fair,
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Hurry now,
We're almost there...
Fa,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la...

Through the shroud of mystery,
Turn a page of history,
Feeling more than you ca see,
Down at the Renaissance Faire.

Hear the minstrels play their tunes,
They will play the whole night through,
Special songs for me and for you,
And anyone whose heart is true...

There;s too many stars for one sky to hold,
Some will fall, others are sold,
As the fields turn to gold
Down at the Renaissance Faire...

"Writing On The Wall"

Is it powers of intuition?
Is it insecurity?
You know I can read your mind and
You have been deceiving me...

Which face wears the masque this evening?
When will your true colours show?
Will they be as black as shadows
Hidind 'neath the rainbow...

Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I love you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...

Paranoia or perception?
Put your faith in a liar's hands
Wanting to believe his words
But never knowing where he stands...

There's too many misconceptions
In this game of censequence
When you're finding taht you hero
Is just who you're up against...

"Magical World"

I called your name out loud in the courtyard,
The crystal I held was like an old friend
The vines crawled the walls
The wind held its breath
But the answer I longed for never came...

Your name, they had said,
was cursed beyond measure,
The families at odds fought with poisoned tongues
And yet through the dark,
Of blind, bitter hate,
Broke a glittering light of two lover's fate...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feeling so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...

Destiny called them like a silver poem
They followed the dance 'till the music died out...
Last time they met was on an earth bed
Both knowing they'd meet agagin in the light...

Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts we share the same dream
Feeling so strong
We just must carry on...
On to our Magical World...

In our Magical World.. In our Magical World...

Fear not, dear Juliet, your Romeo's calling
He's waiting for you at the end of the song,
This world was too cruel... for lovers like you,
But here in our hearts you'll always live on...

"Ocean Gipsy"

Tried to take it all away,
Learn her freedom... just inside a day,
And find her soul to find there fears are laid...
Tried to make her love their own,
They took her love... they left her there,
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own...

Gold and silver rings and stones,
Dances slowly off the moon,
No one else could kow, she stands alone...
Sleeping dreams will reach for her,
She can not say the words they need,
She knows she's alone and she is free...

Ocean Gipsy of the moon,
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
Ocean Gipsy where are you?
The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...
Turned to gold...

Then she met a hollow soul,
Filled himmwith her light and was consoled,
She was the moon and he the sun was gold...
Eyes were blinded with his light...
The sun she gave reflected back the night
The moon was waning, along out of sight...

Softly Ocean Gipsy calls...
Silence holds the stars a while,
They smile sadly for her where she falls...
Just the time before the dawn,
The sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
Day has taken her and now she's gone...

No one noticed when she died,
Ocean Gipsy shacked to the tide,
The ebbing waves, the turning spreading white...

Something gone within her eyes,
Her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand,
Her hattered soul was lost,
She was abandoned...

Silken threads like wings still shine,
Wind swept pleasures still make patterns
in her lovely hair... so dark and fine...
Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more,
her tears have dried...
Oceans weep for her, the ocean sighs...
