Good reaction souls, I like this group it is high on the dig a meter.
I think the lyrics are about a lonely lighthouse keeper who diligently lights the way for the ships for safe passage, then one New Years Eve he goes into town and meets a lady who captivates his heart. They have a one night of passion and she reveals she is unhappy with her life
and has passage on the White Pearl the following night.
On his way back to his lighthouse he is savagely beaten unconscious.
He fails to light the way for the ships the following night, and when he awakes goes into town
to find the sad news of the sinking of the White Pearl.
He is confronted by anger of the towns people and the husband of the lady he had the night of passion with who was pregnant with his child. he notices a tattoo on the husbands arm
and realises this was the same family name on the house of his one night stand.
The husband was the assailant.
He is tried in a court and found innocent, but in his tortured guilt and misery
throws himself off the lighthouse steps into the black ocean to his death.

JP Leppäluoto is still my favourite Finnish singer, buy Tony isn't far behind. He has a great voice and is an amazing storyteller.

Happy birthday Animal 🎊 🥳🍻Good to see you joining Flipster. I’ve got to know this band through your channel, and I quite enjoy this rabbit hole.

Nice reaction to SA 👍 Tony 's voice and stage presence is great. This band have very different songs with meaningful lyrics - sometimes really dark also. Ps. Tony is a close friend to NW's Tuomas and a member of Northern Kings. Greetings and happy weekend from snowy Finland 🇫🇮

Maybe Dark sarah-dance with dragon?

Interesting song, seems closer to prog metal than other metal genres. lots of changeups, some good keyboard work. Glanced at the lyrics, seem a little confusing to me, best I can make out there was a shipwreck and all died. Not sure if it is told from the point of view of the lighthouse keeper (who appears to have failed in his job) or someone else. Looked them up, they are greatly influenced by Queen. I really like their original name, Tricky Beans. Stay safe, God bless, keep rocking.

Pretty much agree with everything you guys are saying. Great vocal delivery grade Harmony's between the band members. Instrumentation is very solid. Drumming is relatively basic. Very long track and I took a peek at the lyrics. Not real sure what to think about it. Overall I give the performance of strong eight my meter. Would like to hear more from these guys so I have something to compare this to.
And as always it's great to see you folks. Keep on rocking and God bless!

I'm glad you liked it! As you were impressed by the vocalist Tony Kakko, he's also performing in Northern Kings with Marko Hietala, Jarkko Ahola and JP Leppäluoto. You could check out their metal cover of "Kiss From a Rose". th-cam.com/video/vDLSlg78gFU/w-d-xo.html Just to warn you, there's little bit of (implied) "nudity" in the video but it doesn't actually show anything that one wouldn't see on a beach or a swimming hall, so I don't think it's too much even for your "American sensibilities". 😉
