Sonata Artica part 1 - Silence

 Today I bring you my Favourite period of Sonata Arctica the Albums Silence(2001) and Reckoning Night (2004)
I think what makes this two albums my favourite ones is the the presence of the progressive part, but mainly if in Silence we have Tony kakko, Jani Liimatainen and Mikko Härkin, in Reckoning Night we stil lhave the first two, where the presence of Jani is well noted. From this album the band has lacked the heart and the soul it had before.
In this first part I will share the ones from Silence, where I will share some of the ones who have more meaning to me, and try to share with you the meaning I found in them.
The first one: False News Travel Fast, with the participation of Timo Kotipelto from Stratovarius, This talks about how fast nasty and false news arrive everywhere and sometimes how someone may be hurt for somthing he might not have done

The second one: The end of This Chapter, here is the first part of a triology found by the fans. In this song, he contacts her beloved one, everyone told them to be put apart of each other and he never accepted, arriving to a point where he stalks her and sings bed side with her, but at this time he can't to anything. He assumes he is not stable and just wants to be sure she haven't forgot her, but does this in a real sick away

Third one, Last Drop Falls, this one is about love how sometimes a man in love accepts everything his partner does, and even at any repeated mistake she does he accepts her back. However at the end of the song he sweats the last word on their relationship will be from him and says he will scream out the love for her until the last drop. A bit dramatic song but if you like emotion, well here you have plenty

Now one of the most strong songs in content, Sing in Silence, maybe a lot don't know about this side of Sonata Arctica but sometimes they had some important stuff in their songs, not that love is not important, but share some other situations. Sing in Silence is an excellent Analogy to a drug addict, the monkey is the burden brought by the drugs, and how so many times our friends and family fail to notice, the "monkey" climbing on our back or even helps the monkey out. When the girl tries to shoo away the monkey she can, and the song ends:

How can I erase your pain and aid you
When Death wants to kiss you and you want kiss Him back... 

 At last I will share the Wolf and the raven, there were some others I could share too, but I don't want to make this post even bigger than it already is. Wolf and the Raven is a story, where a Wolf is being held captive and slavery controled by the raven, all time he begs for mercy to be set free and at a point the Wolf dreams of eating the raven. And the wolf talks about how enticed he is. In the song it's an analogy he shows how he is like the wolf tired of the situation and one day he will turn against the raven of his life.
