In 2019 a brain tumor was found in my spinal canal. It looked malign and before the operation this song gave me so much hope to survive. Actually I played the whole album a lot but this song was so special. Well, im still alive, the tumor is still there but thank god its begign cause its in bad place and hard to operate.
The double key change for the chorus is the most excellent lyrical composition I've heard from Sonata for YEARS. Not only that - highly loaded lyrics. 10/10
Lyrics: Standing with my back against the wall Standing with back against the wall... it's cold Cold... Day, night, fades to dawn Now the fire breathing dragon I have nursed by my side is turning cold One night, blinding light Felt the necklace with a golden heart get cold Against the wall, against the wall, it's cold Why can't this make me warm on winter's nights Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside Dancing with my back against the wall Dancing with my back against the wall And again Why can't you make me warm on winter's nights Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside Unless you feel the fire deep inside A golden heart won't keep you warm at night But when the memory has a face no more And the days are getting longer When all the words unspoken die away Believe the wisdom written on the walls Maybe the road ahead is golden The white thunderbird will drive away, fly away, fly away Why can't you make me warm on winter's nights Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside Unless you feed the fire deep inside A golden heart won't keep you warm at night Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside
The more I hear this song, the more I like it. When you accept changes and understand that times goes on, you can appreciatte some very beautiful things. Those wrinkles and that white hair doesn't come for free. Maybe is not the Sonata Arctica we all loved in the past, but still it is a very good and mature band nowadays.
It's been two years and this song initially disappointed me. But BOY is it a grower! I love it now. Probably my favorite track on the album now, weirdly.
I'm so happy it's a melodic song and not one of the screaming loud ones! I really liked the style of "I have a right" and the past songs like life so I'm very happy it's still somewhat melodic
Es una linda canción, pero sigo extrañando a la SA de antaño, con sonidos más melancólicos y tristes. Lo que escuché en 2:56 era mágico y me encantó lo que venía en 3:30. Felicitaciones por el gran trabajo. Ojalá sigan creciendo y sorprendiendo a sus fans con nuevas canciones.
I can't stop listening to this song! Incredibly catchy, and an amazing album! Really gets me through those dark and cloudy days here :) thank you and please never stop doing what you love, your music is amazing!! A little edit: Of course they've changed - personally, I'd be deeply worried if they didn't within the past 20 years (woow!! congratulations!). People, music, life - it's all about change and progression and discovering new things, trying out stuff and exploration. And I can't wait to see what these guys hold for us for the next 20 years to come!
Different style for Sonata, but kind of catchy and interesting. Production seems quite improved on that track compared to the previous. Well i like it !
Oh don't you have content, maybe your 1st video should be posting your Sound engineering degree to your channel since you think you know more than their front of house person and Pasi.
I love this! Your music has always interested me so much cause it's so clearly influenced by a polar-like climate which is so different to the hot climate I live in.
This isnt a diferent face of Sonata, we heard song with this style like Broken or peacemaker. The bass reminds me the sake of revenge sound. Love the song. Cheers from Argentina. Hope to see you guys soon.
Sonata evolved from the traditional Power Metal to some kind of Symphonic Hard Rock/Metal... I personally like it, but of course I'd love they return to their roots
You still got it Tony! Your passion and talent in music is just astonishing. But please, do something about the quality of production. I really hope this just happened after uploading to TH-cam, but I kind of doubt it :(
at first I didn't agree since Elias is such a cool replacement and a fun dude but years shown that Jani was able to hold Kakko's weird ideas in check. And he can still make wonderful music for Cain's Offering, Sydanpuu, Dark Element and maybe Insomnium in the future as well

Glad you overcome that! Music is powerful, sonata is still one of my favourites bands of all time and it has very good songs

Lyrics:
Standing with my back against the wall
Standing with back against the wall... it's cold
Cold...
Day, night, fades to dawn
Now the fire breathing dragon
I have nursed by my side is turning cold
One night, blinding light
Felt the necklace with a golden heart get cold
Against the wall, against the wall, it's cold
Why can't this make me warm on winter's nights
Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside
Dancing with my back against the wall
Dancing with my back against the wall
And again
Why can't you make me warm on winter's nights
Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside
Unless you feel the fire deep inside
A golden heart won't keep you warm at night
But when the memory has a face no more
And the days are getting longer
When all the words unspoken die away
Believe the wisdom written on the walls
Maybe the road ahead is golden
The white thunderbird will drive away, fly away, fly away
Why can't you make me warm on winter's nights
Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside
Unless you feed the fire deep inside
A golden heart won't keep you warm at night
Maybe your heart has stone cold gold inside
Gracias!

Their songs always were melodic...
I love Sonata
i love sonata, because theyre never afraid to experiment and find new styles, while still retaining poetic lyrics :D
amazing song, its beautiful!
I listen to that tune with the last chorus and i just know i am going to fall in love hearing that live! December can't come quick enough
Crei que sonata se había retirado.. Mucho tiempo sin un video oficial de ellos.. Grande chicos.. Poco a poco la leyenda vuelve
Que bueno ver a sonata levantarse..sigan exigiéndose!! una gran banda!!
Our guys 💓 The best band here in Finland ever!
Nah Bodom is waaaay better. 👌
SONATA&LORDI :D
Stratovarius
Looooove it!!!! Cant wait for the album, see you soon on Argentina!! 🇫🇮 🇦🇷

Yep, much better! :)
Yeah I miss the power metal years.
Yep sounds more power metal XD
Rock Lebrun genius
Amazing, thank you : )
Im waiting for you... Argentina loves you!!!!

Different style for Sonata, but kind of catchy and interesting. Production seems quite improved on that track compared to the previous. Well i like it !
Post your sound engineering degree to your TH-cam channel otherwise SHOO
Oh don't you have content, maybe your 1st video should be posting your Sound engineering degree to your channel since you think you know more than their front of house person and Pasi.
The power of the one era... 😥
Brilliant, different but brilliant!
Such a good band ! Excellent job guys
Come to SCOTLAND!!!!! YAAAASSSS!
Some of the best bass in power metal on this track.
tony sounds a little like papa emeritus here
The Best 👍👍 I from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Wow, I didn’t know it was coming out that soon
OMG 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 LOVE U GUYS...WHAT A SONG 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i love this song, sure it’s not played at break neck speeds with complexities like their older shit but it’s still great.
That makes me looking forward to the full album!
I love this! Your music has always interested me so much cause it's so clearly influenced by a polar-like climate which is so different to the hot climate I live in.
Welcome to heaven,
reckoning night, and ninth hour vibe, fucking looove it
Amazing, acabo de suscribirme 👍😃✌️🤟🤘🤘🤘🤘
Amazing video and song, guys! I love it! 💜💙❤️

Beautiful arrangement n performance lads!!!!
Só to por ir no show deles em novembro caso aconteça
Unia is my favourite album, and this sounds like it pretty much belongs in Unia 2, I'm excited!
Wouldn't say that, but it certainly is a great song.
Siempre vuelvo!
Buena!
Rock pop.... Mi viejo sonata ya no es lo que era, ya no es lo que era, ya no es lo que era 🎶
Fantastic ! Amazing band
Great song..i love sonata arctica since 2008
Groovie ce groupe, ils méritent d'être plus entendu..! ⬆️⬆️
Good job Tony! ❤
Un gran trabajo musical, excelente canción. Sonata Arctica siempre sorprende con buen material. 🤘
Great song!!! As always!!!
Отлично
Does not sound like Sonata Arctica at all, but that's the good of Sonata Arctica, always searches for new sounds
The style always switches but the emotion is still Sonata always
The mix sounds really cool, good production work. I like the little chord surprises throughout the song
Eso es Sonata?, Vengo del 2002
Ya tony habló que dejaban a un lado el power metal, a parte mejoró como vocalista
@@nicolashurtado2638 suerte entonces, pero ellos hace rato estan tocando el mismo sonsito y ya se va poniendo aburridor
@@jhonalferrer por lo mismo ya dejaron a un lado el power
This isnt a diferent face of Sonata, we heard song with this style like Broken or peacemaker. The bass reminds me the sake of revenge sound. Love the song. Cheers from Argentina. Hope to see you guys soon.
great song

Sonata Arctica and Tony Kakko is my and all Best 👍👍👍👍 thank you👍😉
Maybe the road ahead is golden 🥹❤️🩹. Your music saved me. I love you guys! See you next year in Argentina
I miss the old sonata arctica
Yeah! I was waiting for something like that.
80's "glam" vibe, interesting
Соната одна из моих любимых групп.
I really love you guys!❤
Rock on guys!! 🤘🏻Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹 🍻
how embarrassing that I came to them so late. They are simply epic
Peacemaker one of my favorite
The nord man, privilegee,!!!
Hisrori
Pasible
Loved it! I'm already hyped up for the new album! Hope you guys come to Brazil again for the new album tour :p
Faaaa! Ya tengo ganas de verlos en Argentina-Rosario lpm. Nos vemos en Abril 2020
You still got it Tony! Your passion and talent in music is just astonishing. But please, do something about the quality of production. I really hope this just happened after uploading to TH-cam, but I kind of doubt it :(
They recorded the songs like they play live! Its meant to sound like this
@@wixxtah I'm also talking about the mixing aspect, which has nothing to do with the way it is being played live.
Manda oi para Brasil!!! Amei o som brothers 🇧🇷🎸
Canzone bellissima.
listen at 1.25x
Wow! Good idea!
I miss Jani Liimatainen, I knew that special touch to the band.
But I look forward to your new album, I have never been disappointed.
at first I didn't agree since Elias is such a cool replacement and a fun dude but years shown that Jani was able to hold Kakko's weird ideas in check. And he can still make wonderful music for Cain's Offering, Sydanpuu, Dark Element and maybe Insomnium in the future as well
Excelente video, me encantan mucho sus canciones
No Wolfs?? What is happing here?
Tony kakko says no more power
tony changes that for Dancing against the wall xD
Dancing with my back against the wolf
Reminiscing...just like the Sonata Arctica i love.
