Cover art
The cover art of the single features a photograph taken by English artist Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, featuring a young woman helping an older woman wind wool. It was taken around the late 1800s in North Yorkshire, England. Nightwish's cover art is an edit of this photograph, with vocalist Floor Jansen replacing the younger woman in the photo.
