I didn't know this, but it makes perfect sense.
Nice little interview, I didn't expect to see it.  |

Good interview! So saying the album is going to be an hour long, does that mean they've already written most of the songs?
I hope so! |

| Im not a fan but that was a good interview. Felt like you got heaps of info, unlike some interviews where the band talks a lot but doesnt really SAY anything. |

I don't know anything about it. It would be fine if someone does and tells us. |

The quality of Sonata's ballads are unrivaled in the metal scene!
It's great that he writes a poignant, heartfelt, touching one everytime. |

I agree. Their ballads are quite gay. |
I agree. 
No, but seriously, mostly they're very good but a couple are too close to muchy pop stuff for my liking (its very obvious Tallulah was originally written as a pop song). |

| Quote: | | There have even been people that have said that some songs even saved their lives. When I hear that I’m just like, “Wow,” that’s some deep shit really! It is a high compliment but at the same time it is kind of scary. It makes me feel like I have an extra responsibility with these people and if I write a shit song they might kill themselves! |
This kind of cracked me up .
But it's true what they say, the songs he writes are the sad stories from everyday life so it's easier to get in touch with them than lyrics with raping bodies or slaying dragons... Well, to each their own of course.
I'd definitely want to hear more songs from Jani as well since My Selene is one of the best songs on Reckoning Night. |

sonata arctica has been the few bands that never fail to impress me. excellent songwriting and arrangement skills. the first time i listened to "Don't say a word", i fell in love wit it. And i kinda got freked out when i actually went throught the lyrics.....how morbid and vengeful can one get? the essence of fear and vengeance potrayed in this one song is soo strong i frankly got disturbed with the song. but its always on my favs list.
hope they keep on writing good songs or even better. cheers. |
