I've loved SA since Winterheart's Guild. And I'm one of those green guys, too. This song really hits home... But why all the repetition? I just can't take it! "We are what we are" 19 times? Really? Even a single repetition of a sentence will make it more powerful (I'm the man who lived...)
@@KingOfShadeEmpire "but we are what we are"* That's true, but it's just the backing vocal... is it better if you remove it? I also like the end of Replica.
Sonata Arctica has always been that polarizing band. You either like them or hate them. People who liked their early work dislike their new stuff. And visa versa. Then there are the balanced listeners who like them for who they are. Excellent musicians and songwriters. So they're a little more poppy and less edgy than they once were. Bands evolve. And if you don't like them, that's fine, there's two more new fans to take your place.
Completely agree with you on bands evolving. Theyre all human like us, they grow older and values change. Im a fan of the older stuff myself - first metal band ive ever listened to - and i dont like most of this new album, but this song is something else. I love the melody and ofc Tony Kakko singing. I also get the agenda and im all for it being the younger generation.

Robert Brooks i completelg agréé with you. its hard tho to let your "old band " go. Sonata Arctica reminds me of so many good times. feels like that these good old days are really gone when the good old band is not the same either. but we grow up and we must learn to connect these new songs to today, someday's good old days
Uma música perfeita,com um toque incrível,essa música me representa,representa todos nós,amo demais essa banda e a edição também ficou ótima,sem condições 😍🤘💗
I played in a band with a guy who loved this band. It took me a while, but I get what he liked. Its GREAT, unique, and something that you wont hear very often.
This year Bob Dylan received his Noble Prize in Literature for his songwriting. Next year Sonata Arctica should receive exact same prize for their masterpieces!!
loved music and metal for 40 years. love all genres of metal - death, doom, thrash etc.... As well as blues classical etc. ... don't limit yourself to a particular style/genre take from music the emotion, passion and how it moves you. Bolt Thrower "moves" me, old school British Thrash and punk "moves" me as does SA. It's all good😊
They played this one when i saw them live the 7th October. Was great! We were the first ones to arrive before the concert started, so we got the best spots, middle of the front row, of course. Where else?? Was a great show!
I walked down from the mountain Failed to find youth from the fountain I summoned the gods of old by a song And then I killed them all When there was a storm I sang louder After I failed I tried harder If I didn't like how the lake reflected me The lake would dry I am a human Disgraceful is humanity I am a human Destroyer of many worlds, not one I can end another animal Deeming they are suffering But this ample mercy’s not for me Man came down from the mountain Blind for the love all around him The last beautiful heartbeat We could save our world, but we are what we are We should love our earth, but we are what we are It takes care of our loved ones But we are what we are You haven’t thought of this, have you? The place we call home, without value If you didn’t like how the songbird greeted thee The bird would die The ship we leave behind us has no anchor Thus your only child will sail too far from the sun We could save our world, but we are what we are We should love our earth, but we are what we are It takes care of our loved ones But we are what we are We could save our world, but we are what we are We should love our earth, but we are what we are And take care of our loved ones But we are what we are We could love our world, but we are what we are We should save our earth, but we are what we are It would save our loved ones But we are what we are But we are what we are But we are what we are But we are what we are But we are what we are But we are what we are But we are what we are But we are what we are But what are we?
lol all these audiophiles talking about "the mix" because they saw someone else complaining about it. it's really not that bad, especially when you compare it to all the early albums. they were all later re-mastered for a reason.
Well for me, I haven't just heard about it. The bass is way too high in the mix. There's a lot of muddy elements and it sounds like the panning is displaced. I'm not someone who refuses to listen to it because of these reasons, but these elements in the mix are noticeable to me. Interestingly, I think they've (Toni) made a step-up in the song-writing for this one compared to SGHN, PC etc. so actually I'm more inclined to listen to this SA album on this occasion.
As a long time Sonata fan and a student of renewable energy and environmental science, this song hits really hard.
As the same as you guys living in Europe and having just traveled to China it hits really badly.

I thought the same thing!

Oh I also plan to study environmental science! And yes, this song hits hard.
Ninth hour. The masterpiece
Beautiful ballad!! Strong meaning!!
Somos lo que somos, simplemente eso
Always when I listen to this song Im crying... This song is beautiful. This song is strong. Thanks for this song.

I really loved them for what they are. I was one of those balanced listeners. But I cant stand this new album.
I love it all pretty much lol.
This is the best album since Reckoning Night. Congratulations, guys! Keep on rocking and sending out your beautiful messages!
Woah buddie, Unia is arguably this band's magnum opus in the eyes of some fans (myself included)
The best album since Reckoning Night is Pariah's Child.
Not a hard feat though.
God thanks, we have sonata arctica
I love this band!!!!
me too/// love very much
Beautiful song and great album. If they get a real producer in there for next album i know there next effort will be a true masterpiece.
Lovely ballad! Great album!
Sonata Arctica, masterpiece!! Thank you!!
Easily one of my favorite songs of the album.
Beautiful and sadly true. I love this band

This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it. I just start mourning all of the loss of life caused by humans. Truly powerful.

Another beautifully timeless song by Maestro Kakko & Co. :-)

Beautiful song and amazing album!!!
I played in a band with a guy who loved this band. It took me a while, but I get what he liked. Its GREAT, unique, and something that you wont hear very often.
This is an amazing ballad, getting Troy from Nightwish to play on this song has made it sound a lot more in their style
Nice Song! Good work. Greetings from Germany
This year Bob Dylan received his Noble Prize in Literature for his songwriting.
Next year Sonata Arctica should receive exact same prize for their masterpieces!!
really pendejo?
MrScientist90 Excuse me but that will never happend because its metal
music awards are almost never given to good music
Qué maravilla de canción
Beautiful ... we should save de Earth
But, we are what we are...so we probably won't...
Hermosa canción y hermoso álbum

Pure Magic

perfect
I walked down from the mountain
Failed to find youth from the fountain
I summoned the gods of old by a song
And then I killed them all
When there was a storm I sang louder
After I failed I tried harder
If I didn't like how the lake reflected me
The lake would dry
I am a human
Disgraceful is humanity
I am a human
Destroyer of many worlds, not one
I can end another animal
Deeming they are suffering
But this ample mercy’s not for me
Man came down from the mountain
Blind for the love all around him
The last beautiful heartbeat
We could save our world, but we are what we are
We should love our earth, but we are what we are
It takes care of our loved ones
But we are what we are
You haven’t thought of this, have you?
The place we call home, without value
If you didn’t like how the songbird greeted thee
The bird would die
The ship we leave behind us has no anchor
Thus your only child will sail too far from the sun
We could save our world, but we are what we are
We should love our earth, but we are what we are
It takes care of our loved ones
But we are what we are
We could save our world, but we are what we are
We should love our earth, but we are what we are
And take care of our loved ones
But we are what we are
We could love our world, but we are what we are
We should save our earth, but we are what we are
It would save our loved ones
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But we are what we are
But what are we?
Yess !
Great meaning

some one introduce them to Joost van den Broek !!!
Michal Litecký I never said it was a great mix, it's just not nearly as bad as some of those early albums were.
The early albums before PC and albums from other bands sound better in my mp3 player. But maybe I should get a different player. ;-)
CB good for you.
Yo los amo
Excelent Video! nice Work. And excelent song too!
Beautiful ballad!!!
I love the band
