Sonata Arctica

Le groupe Sonata Arctica est né en 1996.Il est composé de Tony Kakko (chanteur/compositeur du groupe et autrefois claveriste), Elias Viljanen (guitariste), Marko Paasikoski (bassiste), Henrik Klingenberg (claveriste) et de Tommy Portimo (batteur).

La toute première incarnation du groupe se nommait Tricky Beans (Haricots Rusés, évidemment, ça fait tout d'suite moins bien... xD). En ce temps, le groupe faisait plutôt du pop/rock, ce qui est quand même éloigné du heavy metal.

Tony Kakko découvre le metal avec l'album Visions de Stratovarius, et tombe sous le charme de ses compatriotes. En 1999, ils enregistrent ainsi une démo nommée FullMoon,ce furent les premiers pas du groupe dans le monde metallique, et décident alors de renommer le groupe en Sonata Arctica, afin d'avoir un nom de groupe plus approprié au style de musique.

Paroles :

I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind
your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, see the
meaning of it all. Remember me Before the war.
I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...



As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of
what I used to be. It's easier if you don't see me
standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit
here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.
They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets
cannot see



Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...



The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill
the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas
Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw
your shadow in a rain. I painted all your pigeons red,
I wish I had stayed home instead.



Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over
Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...

Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep
my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back believe.


I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in a
silent dream. No-one placing blame on me
But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah.



Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

Si, si! J'y étais 8D! mouarf concert génial en tous cas :p j'espere y retourner l'année prochaine :o QUI LES AIMES ME SUIVERONT 8D.

P.S: La vidéo est pas de moi, j'étais pas loin mais c'est pas moi :/

I write the lines you want me to, with the words I dare to use of all
the ones that you have taught me, along the years


You cast a perfect shadow on the paper, fade away with sunlight, I fear
the way you know me, love can leave a stain...

You steal my only hope and make me stay awake another night,I wish you
bear with me, stay near me
When the Autumn leaves have fallen....

Solitude, my pain, the last thing left of me..


If you fall I´ll catch, if you love I´ll love, and so it goes, my dear,
don´t be scared,
you´ll be safe,this I swear. If you only love me


Seven lonely lies written on Deadwinter´s night, open the only book with
the only poem I can read
In blood I sign my name and seal the midnight with a tear, burn the
paper, every line for them I cried?


If you fall I´ll catch, if you love I´ll love, and so it goes, my dear,
don´t be scared,
you´ll be safe,this I swear. If you only love me back



I am the Playwrite and you are my Crown, make me cry for your love, like
you´ve done many times, so I know
I can´t write these storylines without you, Lady pain, make me strong,
can´t we be together without them forever?


The words I write can only hurt you, sorry for the rain, thank you, my
only one, you gave me this pain
I leave you gently on the floor, take one step towards the door,
where´s the letter never written, goodnight now?


If you fall I´ll catch, if you love I´ll love, and so it goes, my dear,
don´t be scared,
you´ll be safe,this I swear. If you only love me


If you fall I´ll catch, if you love I´ll love, and so it goes, my dear,
don´t be scared,
you´ll be safe,this I swear. If you only love me back

Paroles :

All those lies suit you.
They are custom made to drive you out of reality.
Lies are true for you. You know,
what you do is reaching a point of insanity.

When you wake from your dream
you know what is true
Ring of bell inside your head
is playing with your mind

Remember to pray, and what the Bible says and you will live thru eternity
You haven't hear of this
There is something you missed - it will cost you so heavily.

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you've made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
your eyes tell a lie and the liar must always die.

When you're done with him,
you know where you have been, He will treat us all equally.
Can you feel the fire burning

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you've made.
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
your eyes tell a lie and the liar must die.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
your eyes tell a lie and the liar must die.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
your eyes tell a lie and the liar must die.
