Secret Garden: “Song from a Secret Garden” (1996)
The Irish/Norwegian duo Secret Garden wrote and performed Norway’s winning entry “Nocturne” at the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest.
But to my ears “Song from a Secret Garden” is their debut album’s highlight. The song has been featured in Korean and Italian drama and sounds like something that could have accentuated the most heart-tugging part of a Studio Ghibli film.
Beautifully orchestrated but with restraint; evoking nostalgia without being cloying. This is simply a gorgeous piece of music.
