I really like this gloomy version of HIM. Is more heavy and dark. And these melodies. That's how I got to know and love HIM. 20 years ago. And now the band stops. The times are bad for good handmade music ....
I bought this album to my girlfriend as a gift the day it was released here in Finland. Music on the radio has is not what it used to be... The music of my teen era, even the stuff I hated was still real music
It sounds even better in the studio version! Although their live performances are the Ones I would prefer ( unlike other artists’ (apart from Ciccone-The-BITCH)))
This is so amazingly good. a level they - in my opinion - never achieved again. maybe it's due to the downtuned guitar. or may be it's villes voice being at the top. or it's just the audacity of youth. guess we'll never really know ...
I used to play every song on this record and the guitar was never down tuned. It and every song after this was in E standard. The only album they dropped it down a notch was love and theory in practice.
Don't know about the albums (razorblade for sure is in standard) but the guitar in the video is down to b (but you can of course still play along with a guitar in standard tuning :))
Ville’s voice was bolder/daring, and their previous keyboard player was darker stylistically than Burton. This was a different drummer as well which could be a change in the character of the band/sound.
In our diabolikal rapture we live on and on And death keeps knocking at our door So we open the door And we die a bit more We're in love with death and we die on and on Won't you Close our eyes We'll be by your side In your heavenly rapture we die on and on And you keep waiting at our door Yes we open the door Let us die a bit more We're in love with you and we die on and on Won't you Close our eyes We'll be by your side Your love is the only thing I live for in this world Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns In these heavenly flames I have already scorched in I just want you to know I'll always be waiting [repeat]
It was the launch of #lovemetal , but most bands had to give up, with no sales... Charon, Entwine, For My Pain, and more. Also these were all inspired in this video. Type O Negative had a video in the same studio. Also genious.
Отличная песня, спел просто шикарно, обожаю его. Как услышал в подростковом возрасте их песни, так сразу и проникся, тащусь до сих пор, вот уже 20 лет 🖤
Perfect is not the right word... all these emotions and he is so CALM??? ....❤ the most interesting band ever... i love all the songs ,but this one is leaving me breathless in a the way i can't really explain.. and cleaning me at the same time. Thank you,HIM,really! ⭐❤
this man has had the best voice in rock music for the last 10 years. granted, it is getting worse and worse due to all the smoking and alcohol abuse, but this particular performance is rock solid proof that, at least up until recently, NO OTHER VOCALIST in rock music has as good a tone and ability to improvise as Valo. such a shame he's wasted what could go down as a top ten vocal chords in rock music history. STOP SMOKING AND DRINKING SO MUCH, DOUBLE V!
Thankgod he has, his voice isn’t the same, but it’s got a different angelic sound with tones similar to his power vocals in the 90’s. Bare in mind during the pandemic his vocals must have rested and recovered even more so I’m really looking forward to hearing some concerts in the future!!
so young and full of talent. this is my most favorite HIM song ever, greatest lovesongs is their best album by far. i love everything they did, but the last two albums just cant keep up with their early stuff.
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world...Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns...In these heavenly flames I have already scorched in...I just want you to know I'll always be waiting...
Damn! And this was just the beginning.. How beautiful!! Such a wild music and the same time very elegant. Ville Valo with perfect voice and vision. Its a pleasure to watch and listen it. I miss my favourite band so much.. THANK YOU HIM!
In our diabolical rapture we live on and on And death keeps knocking at our door So we open the door and we die a bit more We`re in love with with death and we die on and on Won`t you close our eyes We`ll be by your side In your heavenly rapture we die on and on And you keep waiting at our door Yes - we open the door Let us die a bit more Because we`re in love with you and we die on and on Won`t you close our eyes, eyes We`ll be by your side Your love is the only thing I live for in this world Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting Your love is the only thing I live for in this world Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting
Theres just no words to describe how good this is! The song itself, the lyrics, the guitar, THAT voice and his beautiful face and amazing song writing!
Fuck i love them & Ville so much. Im wearing his latest tour jacket now. I saw VV twice during his US tour this year. I got two signed vinyls. He is legend. The heartagram charm that i still wear everyday is 21 years old now. HIM/VV FOREVER!
Loved HIM since I was 9 I’m now 23 and can not get enough of the Overdrive performances, it’s so raw and beautiful and Ville Valo voice is beyond magical. yes I’m obsessed with Mr Valo 😜 but can I just say Linde’s hair! He looks like an eleven king 😍
He drinks and smokes a lot less nowadays. He sounded amazing on the farewell tour. So even if there's no more HIM sadly enough, I m sure we have a lot more fantastic music to expect soon from Ville ❤️
.... makes me think of the great times that were.. When HIM was surrounded by a mystical aura and had brilliant songs.. And yes, this is better than the original..Come to think about it, this might be the best performance that Ville gave us.
3:50 this part is the most perfect piece of music I have ever heard in my life.I'm a male so I don't have a G spot, so I could never know the pleasure a woman gets from stimulating it. This is the closest I could ever be.
HIM's live shows are the BEST! They are the band I love above all others. Their talent and vision never cease to amaze me. Hey are a stealler group of guys too! very down to earth. They care about their fans! best day of my life when i met and got to hang out with them for a while in 2007!
hehe, i do listen/watch this video many times :) it makes me feel better when i am down ^.^ There are so little videos these days that can have reflect this amount of emotions and love which Ville put in this performance :) Proud to be their fan
Glaz Nevi they broke up recently actually. Sad day in music history. Reason for break up, they were tired, they didn't want to do it for the money if they didn't enjoy it.
I agree with Hrusuna, My favorite album is Greatest Love Songs, without a doubt. As for this song, it's simply beautiful. It inspires me. I must paint!
I love this man. Sometimes though I wonder if his heart is hurting? Maybe he feels no one loves him for him? I saw Wings Of A Butterfly and I would run to him and never let go. 🖤🖤🖤
Damn its better than the studio version
It's good accoustic...Vile voice sounds as echo...
Yeah !!!
Cool :-)
I agree
@@Stane-my4uh decent amount of reverb :)
his voice was so low in the studio version for some reason
I really like this gloomy version of HIM. Is more heavy and dark. And these melodies. That's how I got to know and love HIM. 20 years ago. And now the band stops. The times are bad for good handmade music ....
I bought this album to my girlfriend as a gift the day it was released here in Finland. Music on the radio has is not what it used to be... The music of my teen era, even the stuff I hated was still real music
These overdrive tracks and the acoustic ones with Mige on double bass are brutal. They really kicked ass, sad to see them go.....
Im so happy 13 year old me had the good sense to listen to (and love) this kind of music, instead of all the pop that was mainstream then.
when they played doom metal
if I had the voice of valo...
guess what: I'd never shut up
I have it. What do we do next?
Lol
Actually, id like to see a black guy sing like valo lol
“Good” luck with that!
You’ll need ALL of it!!))(
🫶🏻 people in 2024 🫶🏻
🖤💥
My first and never dying love - H.I.M.
Probably their best performance to date
i jus wish there was less vocals ,feels like ville over do it a bit
@@elfenlied9091 bolí mě srdce když se tetka podívám jak zpívá drží si břicho co ho trápí
You must be joking
As a die hard HIM fan since the 90s, I still think that to this day, this is the most powerful part in a song ever: @3:40
It sounds even better in the studio version!
Although their live performances are the Ones I would prefer ( unlike other artists’
(apart from Ciccone-The-BITCH)))
Without a doubt...universe extraction point
3:50
This is so amazingly good. a level they - in my opinion - never achieved again. maybe it's due to the downtuned guitar. or may be it's villes voice being at the top. or it's just the audacity of youth. guess we'll never really know ...
I agree
Last theory is right
Also he did it for money
Now he doesnt look the same
So cant be so popular again i guess
I used to play every song on this record and the guitar was never down tuned. It and every song after this was in E standard. The only album they dropped it down a notch was love and theory in practice.

In our diabolikal rapture we live on and on
And death keeps knocking at our door
So we open the door
And we die a bit more
We're in love with death and we die on and on
Won't you
Close our eyes
We'll be by your side
In your heavenly rapture we die on and on
And you keep waiting at our door
Yes we open the door
Let us die a bit more
We're in love with you and we die on and on
Won't you
Close our eyes
We'll be by your side
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I have already scorched in
I just want you to know I'll always be waiting
[repeat]
Still loving it in 2024
Awesome performance, H.I.M. could have been a great gothic/doom metal band if they stayed in this path. Love this song.
They were until 2017
It was the launch of #lovemetal , but most bands had to give up, with no sales... Charon, Entwine, For My Pain, and more. Also these were all inspired in this video. Type O Negative had a video in the same studio. Also genious.
Wow this is probably one of the best live performances of any song i like ive ever seen.
If not the best.
Ville, like a True Artist, wants to enjoy interacting with his audience 😉
And we are Eager to Please ❤️
Отличная песня, спел просто шикарно, обожаю его. Как услышал в подростковом возрасте их песни, так сразу и проникся, тащусь до сих пор, вот уже 20 лет 🖤
Да, именно так, до сих пор слушаю
Him это навсегда!
Perfect is not the right word... all these emotions and he is so CALM??? ....❤ the most interesting band ever... i love all the songs ,but this one is leaving me breathless in a the way i can't really explain.. and cleaning me at the same time. Thank you,HIM,really! ⭐❤
how can a man be so beautiful physically and have that powerful voice? he is such an amazing singer, you can really feel the emotion in his voice
this man has had the best voice in rock music for the last 10 years. granted, it is getting worse and worse due to all the smoking and alcohol abuse, but this particular performance is rock solid proof that, at least up until recently, NO OTHER VOCALIST in rock music has as good a tone and ability to improvise as Valo. such a shame he's wasted what could go down as a top ten vocal chords in rock music history. STOP SMOKING AND DRINKING SO MUCH, DOUBLE V!
Jajaja Double V🤣🤣
21ish years later and his voice is still amazing
Thankgod he has, his voice isn’t the same, but it’s got a different angelic sound with tones similar to his power vocals in the 90’s. Bare in mind during the pandemic his vocals must have rested and recovered even more so I’m really looking forward to hearing some concerts in the future!!
Best version of this song ever . Even better than the studio version
i actually started crying when i heard this
its just a masterpiece from an amazing cd long live this band in all thier wonder
Years pass and I never get tired of this performance of such an amazing song!
3:50 - 5:43
INCREDIBLE.
so special and emotional
Most definitely. The climax of this song, and especially this live version, is one of my favorite HIM-moments ever.
This has to be one if not the greatest live HIM performances, so magical
How beautiful is he😊😊😊😊
so young and full of talent. this is my most favorite HIM song ever, greatest lovesongs is their best album by far. i love everything they did, but the last two albums just cant keep up with their early stuff.
2023..this song is still amazing. Nothing compares to HIM.
Невозможно наслушаться, на повторе постоянно, столько лет, обожаю❤
This performance is just out of this world
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world...Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns...In these heavenly flames I have already scorched in...I just want you to know I'll always be waiting...
That voice just never ceases to amaze me.
i wish they could still be like this..
i adored them back then
They still are , if you see them live you'll not be disappointed. Been to 5 of there concerts 2 of them this year and also in 05, 08, and 014.
+Cloven Ramos Whaaat? Where are they touring this year?
My favorite song by Ville Vallo. So powerful and full of HIM. I’ll always be listening to it !
The Voice of a God!
Powerhouse vocalist.
Ville sounds really good on this live video! i love watching their older stuff its actually amazing.
Brilliant, what a band. This sound, his voice and angelface of VV.

I think the same ! Appreciate you too, my dear🙌♥️
i'll always come back to this vid
Damn! And this was just the beginning.. How beautiful!!
Such a wild music and the same time very elegant.
Ville Valo with perfect voice and vision. Its a pleasure to watch and listen it.

I'll forever love you, my Vampire Prince. 🖤🖤🖤 I was 12 when I found HIM. (25 now) and still just as in awe of Ville as ever.
Me too, I feel you!
Such an amazing voice. Seriously, If I had a VOICE like that, I would never put a single one cigarette in my mouth. I'd be too afraid to ruin it.
You would never have a voice like Ville’s)
Theres just no words to describe how good this is! The song itself, the lyrics, the guitar, THAT voice and his beautiful face and amazing song writing!
His voice crushes my heart 💔
3:54 best part His voice makes my knees weak.
Diana Terzyan 4.19 babe
I couldn't agree more with you, I sing this is all the time....
5:00-the end of the song always gets me so weak
After 3:50 >> FIRE !!! :-)))
Fuck i love them & Ville so much. Im wearing his latest tour jacket now. I saw VV twice during his US tour this year. I got two signed vinyls.
He is legend.
The heartagram charm that i still wear everyday is 21 years old now.
HIM/VV FOREVER!
All songs performed on Overdrive are outstanding
Loved HIM since I was 9 I’m now 23 and can not get enough of the Overdrive performances, it’s so raw and beautiful and Ville Valo voice is beyond magical. yes I’m obsessed with Mr Valo 😜 but can I just say Linde’s hair! He looks like an eleven king 😍
What a great performance.
Valo, please overcome your addictions. Be God once more.
What addiction???
He drinks and smokes a lot less nowadays. He sounded amazing on the farewell tour. So even if there's no more HIM sadly enough, I m sure we have a lot more fantastic music to expect soon from Ville ❤️
I can't believe how little views this song have..and by far is one of the best ones. Words are not enough to describe it, Ville sing it perfectly ;)
I`m from Poland too and I listen to HIM about 20 yrs.Amazing band and handsome Ville :) Greetings
This song always gave me incredible chills... I wish someday I will hear it live
Anyone listening in 2020?
Sure!
me
Tema enigmático espeluznante demasiado emocionante 😢🥺🥀😵😵😵😵😵🥰🎤🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
2024
I adore the little tic Ville makes with his eyebrow at @4:02. And after 12 years... there's the same tic in "Heartkiller" official video. Lovely!
....
makes me think of the great times that were..
When HIM was surrounded by a mystical aura and had brilliant songs..
And yes, this is better than the original..Come to think about it, this might be the best performance that Ville gave us.
Ville is the most beautiful singer song writer i have every herd and i love him with all my heart xxx
3:50 this part is the most perfect piece of music I have ever heard in my life.I'm a male so I don't have a G spot, so I could never know the pleasure a woman gets from stimulating it. This is the closest I could ever be.
😂😂😂😂

This performance is amazing . Absolutely poetic
Love this band 🖤 best album

I agree with Hrusuna, My favorite album is Greatest Love Songs, without a doubt. As for this song, it's simply beautiful. It inspires me. I must paint!
Still a favorite album and this live version is to die for.
Probably one of their first live recorded performance and it's PERFECT.
I love this man. Sometimes though I wonder if his heart is hurting? Maybe he feels no one loves him for him? I saw Wings Of A Butterfly and I would run to him and never let go. 🖤🖤🖤
AMAZING ABSOLUTELY WONDERFULL !

This whole gig was phenomenal
Every time I watch this I think I die a little inside from too much happiness. Best HIM performance!
I’ve been watching this same video for 17 years
I agree with hellsfallen. HIM is still as good now as they were back then. Bands evolve and mature people, get over it!
🔥💜
Masterpiece! It gives me shivers!
