I think that that song is his ode to himself, his reflecting about how close he was to ending his life, mastering himself. It is all very sad and regretful. Maybe that song helped him come from it and feel strong.

These quotes and interviews:

It is a shame that all of that has happened with his success and that he does draw the pain into his lyrics, no wonder you read some things that he says or you hear him say and then you can kind of see it in his performances, even lately. I hope that he is more on the other side these days and more "through it all" than still having a hard time and feeling nervous and unadjusted. Everyone needs warmth and heart. I am sure he isn't perfect, but he has really hit rock bottom before. Both ladies seem alright now, I have seen both on facebook. He looks great now too, he seems very sensitive, more than others, I think.

 

You see, you're much more eloquent and smarter than me, in this.  

It makes sense.

Is he the super fan of this band? He is lucky and this is a great interview. Isn't he in his own band as well?

That setlist is great, but I can also see what they mean about how songs play live and go well with all of the others. They schooled him, lol.

And Ville's tongue action

Yeah he has own band. I exchanged few tweets with him, he's seems very nice too.

Ville is too much of a perfectionist, I don't think Love You Like I do is good mostly because of the production and it doesn't have to sound like it does on a record. That's the beauty of their live performances. I even like when he messes up the lyrics and the way he gets out of it. lol

Hey.  

I only know a few songs by them (& they were good). What's their best album?

Hey there

Did you like any of their albums/songs?

I'm not all that, but I do believe that what I think is true of that song now.  :::::flattered:::::

HIM could totally change the music to more guitar heavy on Love You Like I Do. I can imagine it like Sonic Youth / The Cult, I can totally hear it, but looks like they never would.

first time smiling in 2007 lol

translation in comments

" And most of the fans of Yö and Eput are middle-aged alcoholics, who are about to die, which makes HIM and Nightwish the most possible candidates to rule the charts from now till the end of the world! But I wish luck for everyone. I mean this ain't a competition. Let's say, that it would kick my ego nicely if HIM didn't make it to number one for once. It's really not that easy, you know."

 

Venus Doom debuted at #2 on Finnish charts.

Thank you. ♡ What did you dream about? If I may ask.

Can you also tell me about these two songs, what do you think of the lyrics, the meaning?
