This song turned up in one of my playlists/radio stations on Pandora recently. It surprised me because it is slightly out of character for what I listen to on Pandora, and Pandora usually does a great job keeping my radio stations set up the way I want them, and doesn't lump German Heavy Metal together with German folk songs just because both genres are in German. That is what Spotify does (or did I stopped using Spotify that way) and it is beyond annoying‡.
Anyway I was pleasantly surprised, because I do like this song, and I hadn't listened to this particular album in sometime.
This song is "Damned And Divine" by Tarja from her 2007 album My Winter Storm. It was her second solo album after having been fired by the guys at Nightwish in 2005.
‡ There are few things as infuriating as listening to some soothing folk music and have a bit of Neue Deutsche Härte from Eisbrecher or Stahlmann show up in the mix. Neue Deutsche Härte is a lot of things, but relaxing isn't one of them. Spotify used to get this right, but they ditched their algorithm and replaced it with a tone-deaf squirrel. So I only listen to currated playlists, either my own, or someone else's. Once I get a new phone - later this year - I will renew my search for the replacement. It stopped being worth it some time back.
