Helloween, banda alemana de heavy metal, hizo su debut en 1984 en Hamburgo, Alemania. La formación original incluía a Kai Hansen (guitarrista y vocalista), Michael Weikath (guitarrista), Markus Grosskopf (bajista) e Ingo Schwichtenberg (baterista). La combinación de riffs rápidos, estribillos pegajosos y letras épicas definió desde el principio el sonido que se conocería como power metal.
En 1985, Helloween lanzó su primer EP homónimo, rápidamente seguido por su álbum debut completo Walls of Jericho, un hito que posicionó a la banda en el radar del mundo del metal. Su sonido agresivo pero melódico cautivó a una audiencia cada vez mayor y sentó las bases para su futuro éxito.
Pero fue realmente con el lanzamiento de Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I (1987) y Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II (1988) cuando Helloween alcanzó a un público masivo y consolidó su estatus en el panteón del metal. Con la entrada de Michael Kiske como vocalista, estos álbumes mostraron una evolución hacia un sonido más melódico y maduro. Temas emblemáticos como "Future World", "I Want Out" y "Eagle Fly Free" se convirtieron en himnos para los fans del power metal.
Los años siguientes no fueron fáciles para Helloween. La banda enfrentó disputas internas y desafíos legales que culminaron en la salida de Kai Hansen, quien pronto formaría otra banda icónica, Gamma Ray. A pesar de estos conflictos,

Paroles de la chanson I Wish I Were There par Helloween
I'm staring on at your picture
How the wind picks up your hair
Behind you a palm and the ocean
How I wish I had been there
Yeah, too often we're not together
Yeah, too often I'm far away
Know that I always care
I wish I were
I wish I were there
No longer away, no dead air
I wish I were
I wish I were there
I'm listening to all of your stories
What you've done and what you've seen
Your face so small on my iphone
And I'm touching you on screen
Yeah, too often we're not together
Yeah, too often I'm far away
Know that I always care
I wish I were
I wish I were there
No longer away, no dead air
I wish I were
I wish I were there
I never had a doubt I would achieve it
I never allowed myself to fail
But then when I was there
I wished I were where you were
I wish I had been there
I think I got the moral of the story
For every wish granted there's a snag
The genie in the bottle never tells to take care
I wish I had been there
Wish I had been there
Know that I always care
I wish I were
I wish I were there
No longer away, no dead air
I wish I were
I wish I were there
Know that I always care
I wish I were
I wish I were there
No longer away, no dead air
I wish I were
I wish I were there
I wish I had been there
I wish I had been there
I wish I had been there
Wish I had been there
