I got to understand this song fully just now. Today's my sister's birthday, but she lives abroad, and so we couldn't congratulate her presonally and make a birthdaycake for her. I know, a birthday isn't a big deal, but still... My family's heaven for me, but this heaven's incomplete when I know that she is alone on this special day. Thank you, Tony, for this beautiful song!
Hermosa canción! Vídeo sencillo pero muy lindo, y Tony muestra su siempre teatral faceta.. Me encantó! No se trata de moda, se trata de evolución, y fidelidad a la banda. Me encanta la evolución que ha tenido Sonata y los seguiré en todos sus proyectos... Bless!
This has to be my favorite video the guys have ever done, The light and darkness fits the mood of the song, Tony's facial expressions are spot on perfect for the emotion he is trying to convey. I fell in love with this song first time I heard SGHN and was hoping that it would become a single. (SGHN is one of my favorite Sonata albums and this coming from a girl who's fave album by them is Winterheart's Guild)
4:12 - the very last blurred shot of Marko with him looking up as though towards the future and the last chord by Elias along with sad Tony is kinda touching. Thank you Marko.
Sonata Arctica is one of my favorite Finnish Power/Progressive/Symphonic Metal Bands from Kemi, Finland. They really rock hard! The current members are Vocalist: Tony Kakko(keyboardist & songwriter), Guitarist: Elias Vilijanen, Bass Guitarist: Pasi Kauppinen, Keyboardist & Keytarist: Henrik Klingenberg, and Drummer: Tommy Portimo. All the musicians have acted as backing vocalists except for Portimo. I love Sonata Arctica and all their songs rock! "Alone in Heaven" is beautiful and it rocks hard too! Sonata Arctica does that a lot in their songs and it's amazing to me, but part of it is the talent of their musicians and the other part is the energy and vibrance that Tony Kakko has as a performer!! Rock on Sonata Arctica!!🎸🖤🤘🏻🖤😎
Amazing. I love how emotional Tony looks in the video. Sonata Arctica is all about the expression of intense emotions and Tony really knows how to capture that in his stageplay.
Sonata Arctica was the band I was introduced to metal with, and my favorite for a long time. I still like there songs, but now they are like my 7th or 8th favorite band.
Veo muchos comentarios de que Sonata esto o Sonata lo otro, pasa que esa gente no entiende el progreso que hacen no solamente los artistas, si no las mismas personas, progresar no significa mejorar, significa cambio y a nadie le gusta el cambio, únicamente las personas que comprenden estos cambios y lo respetan con el paso del tiempo son las que se dan cuenta lo que vale esta banda, el resto... que siga escuchando lo que le plazca, de eso se trata la vida.
EXACTO ! yo no fui tan fan de este album al principio (obviamente eso ya cambió jaja), pero la gente como que olvida la obra maestra que es The Days of Grays, prueba de que Sonata no necesitaba de Jani para hacer música genial... por y para la gente que no gusta ni entiende de cambios existe maná
+Mayra Moricete Es que si te ponés a pensar detenidamente hoy en día las bandas que siguen en pie con sus respectivos miembros originales dentro del sub-género que es el power metal o del género del metal en común, prácticamente no exísten... fijate vos Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Nightwish, Rhapsody (que ahora se llaman Rhapsody Of Fire) Helloween, Gamma Ray y así podemos estar horas nombrando y ninguna de estas bandas épicas y legendarias como la de Sonata Arctica conservan a todos sus miembros desde sus incios como grupo, el hecho es que Jani por irse de Sonata Arctica no va a dejar de ser un excelente guitarrista tanto cómo Tony no va a dejar de ser un gran compositor ni su música va a ser más suave o peor de la que venía haciendo porque el metal progresivo sinfónico de ahora comparado con el power metal que generaban antes son estilos totalmente DIFERENTES, es querer comparar un asado de carne con una ensalada de lechugas y tomates. Muchas gracias por tu respuesta Mayra , te mando un saludo muy grande desde Córdoba, Argentina y que viva el metal :)
Mejor no lo pudiste decir !! es cosa de reinventarse y enriquecerse y muchas veces esos cambios hacen que la gente se interese mas en ellos,... la ironía en esto es que muchas veces dicen de "es que tal banda no es igual sin fulano", pero siguen mas el trabajo de la banda que de el fulano en cuestión XD....Saludos y que viva el metal !
I know this is your honest opinion and I know that there are many who feel the same, but please allow me to counter with my honest opinion. When putting Unia, Days of Grays and Stones Grow her Name in chronological order a red line appears. True, it diverts a bit from their previous sound, but it also becomes more diverse. There are songs with incredible emotional output (the ones I personally like best) and there are those wherein they revert back to their old sound. Diversity is the key here.
Why is it that so many are complaining about Jani missing? I've always enjoyed SA, but with this album I can't say that I miss him. The spirit of their artwork is still very much around. And with this song I think it proves that SA will be around for quite some time. Even if they say it is made straight forward and soft, it sound like those good old ballads from their early days. At least that's what I think. Now what would be a shame is their Tours. I've seen them once, and for that I needed to travel to Wacken- Please do more tours in Scandinavia GOD DAMN IT!! --True fan of Sonata Arctica--
I love SONATA and everything they do. Obviously some more than others but this song is ....speechless.Tony make me feel what he's feeling while he sing. Harmony, passion, rhythm... they have it all.
This video is simple and beautiful. It makes their talent shine, without additional decorations. It's just Sonata Arctica and their greatness. Their passion for playing music is clear through their face expressions. And this is the only thing that matters. Compliments, Sonata Arctica, and compliments Nuclear Blast
Well, i`m fan of Sonata for about 5 years, and I am not dissapointed hearing this album. It isn`t sounds exactly as theirs earlier CDs, that`s right, but it`s still great melodic power metal. So just chill and listen to music that you like :)
Sonata arctica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MOMENTS!!!!, THANK YOU MARKO FOR ALL!!!!, SONATA ARCTICA THE BEST!!!! (elias thank you for the pick (medellin colombia))
Tony has a magnificent voice, and the music is awesome, however, as always! Sonata Arctica - one of my favorite bands since 2000. I sincerely hope that they will continue to delight us with their great music!
Wow, great song. I like it a lot. Perfekt music + Tony’s beautiful voice and singing = an amazing song that made my heart happy and caressed my soul. I love you, guys. I applaud you. My big thanks to you 👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🇨🇿
Their new albums are far more unique-sounding and complex when you think about it. Especially the lyrics. It took me a while to admit it but I love the way they evolve!
I came across this band a couple of days ago, i cant stop listening scince, what a great band, i do a lot of running, i cant wait to get them on my ipod
Sonata has been one of my top favorite bands like 7 years.. And i did forgot it for like for 2 years totally.. But oh my god i totally missed this awesome sound and band
A very good song, the reason that some people doesn't like this song because it's more of a rock song than heavy metal, and that's sad because it's still Sonata Arctica, The lyrics, melodies and everything are just as good as before.
Sonata's great, I love all their stuff, They've changed but they are themselves. It's great for you to have bands like them, how would I like to meet them T-T !!! Please bring them again to Colombia, I wanna have the chance to go to their show, they're great. Thanks for the video Nuclear!!!!
I´ve just discovered this song...make me cry...make me goose bump...OMG.... make me find a real sense of living..Thanks a lots for this song. Sorry my english, a Little rusty
I thought so, too, some years ago. But when I got used to Unia, I really loved that album and still do. Also, Songs like The last amazing grays and Juliet, as well as Cinderblox, Only The Broken Hearts or Wildfire Part II are all great songs. I listened to the new album especially after seeing SA in Wacken this year, it was awesome.
If you feel that way then I guess that's all there is to it to you. To me there's a whole new world to their new stuff to discover and man I am exploring with the greatest of joys :). To each his own!
From Henka's blog :) "I don't remember us working this fast like....ever. It's really nice since we're gonna have some time to check and double check and triple check everything before entering the studio in a few weeks. As far as the music goes I hear a lot of "old school" Sonata in most of the songs.....maybe we start to become a power metal band again ;-)(...)"
are you Sonata Arctica? then, how can you say this is not Sonata Arctica? people evolve, bands evolve, and Tony can compose whatever he wants, and if you don't like it, just don't listen to the new songs, nobody forces you. by the way, amazing and absolutely sentimental video. Thank you for everything guys, and specially Marko. You'll be in our hearts.
Music taste is subjective. You just cannot say things are bad or good, just things that you like or not. Those last albums are musically full of arrangements, personally i like em a lot. But i can understand to those who miss the power metal speed on the songs. Anyway, i keep liking sonata arctica and im excited about the new album incoming :)
I agree, i wouldn't say no to 1-2 new Ecliptica style songs but i don't want an ecliptica pt2. On the other hand I'd love a mix between the complexity of Unia and the sound of DoG with those huge symphonic orchestrations on songs like Deathaura.
Another video? This really surprises me, 'cause Sonata is not such a video-maker, but the song is good and deserved a video. Now I'm wondering wether they could make a Cinderblox video, I really love that song from their last album.

"Alone in heaven. What the hell would I do in a place without you?" Beautiful.
We can't dictate the way they're going, but we do support them on every step they might take. We'll see what the future brings.
how sad that the brand has to deal with haters...
im single and dont have band 1313
"What if your heaven was someone else's hell?"
I just wanna say: I really loooove this song!!!
Sonata Arctica is my favorite international band. This album is perfect.
Tony has a beautiful soul.
..thank you for your support over the years! :)
all Sonata's music is Tony's soul, he is the mastermind there, and for me Tony is the best finish composer ever.
Exacto !!! 🎼🎵🎶🥁🎸🎹🐺🇫🇮🌍🌎🌏 No pudiste decirlo mejor !!!!

Cara, o vocal desse cara é único. Sonata Arctica é show!!! Tony Kakko arrebenta. Tá cantando tão bem como antigamente. Show, show, show!!!!
Hermosa canción! Vídeo sencillo pero muy lindo, y Tony muestra su siempre teatral faceta.. Me encantó!
No se trata de moda, se trata de evolución, y fidelidad a la banda. Me encanta la evolución que ha tenido Sonata y los seguiré en todos sus proyectos...
Bless!
so many haters, they really make me laugh
great song like always, Sonata Arctica will always be one of the best bands out there.
I know I'm 8 years late to this comment but I agree 100% . Such a great band.

Los cambios no siempre son buenos, se pierde la identidad, por eso antes era mejor esta banda.
"I'll never leeeeeaaave you behi-i-i-ind" This line.... it's everything I love about music....
Thanks! We're incredibly lucky to have such awesome fans & artists!
Long live Sonata Arctica!

I'm sure Sonata has read all the feedback. The good thing about Sonata is that they acknowledge theirs fans and feedback :)
This video makes so emotional in many ways, love the sadness in Tony's voice, miss Marko, miss them all with long hair. Love them with all my heart :)
I love this man. Beautiful man with a beautiful voice.
che riempie i nostri cuori con dolcezza, a volte tristezza, luce ed ombre
Sonata being the best band in the whole world.

I love Sonata Arctica. Tony has such a beautiful voice and sublime lyrics.
Thank you Nuclear Blast for posting the video of this beautiful song.
I love SONATA and everything they do. Obviously some more than others but this song is ....speechless.Tony make me feel what he's feeling while he sing. Harmony, passion, rhythm... they have it all.
I still don't believe I've hugged Tony Kakko last concert.
Linda letra, do que adianta o paraíso se meus amigos não estão comigo..
This video is simple and beautiful. It makes their talent shine, without additional decorations. It's just Sonata Arctica and their greatness. Their passion for playing music is clear through their face expressions. And this is the only thing that matters.
Compliments, Sonata Arctica, and compliments Nuclear Blast
Finnish bands metal , the best in the world !
Noumen-Jp finnish and swedish metal bands are just nailing it in the world!
Noumen-Jp Finnish and German
+Muikula yes, and the german originales, not to Forget.
Finnish and Japanese are the best but its my opinion:)
+MillaHan give me some japan bands ? :)
Tnx
Power Metal produces such amazing artists and especially vocalists. Sonata, Dream Evil, Falconer, Kamelot, Nightwish.. the list is endless.
Well, i`m fan of Sonata for about 5 years, and I am not dissapointed hearing this album. It isn`t sounds exactly as theirs earlier CDs, that`s right, but it`s still great melodic power metal.
So just chill and listen to music that you like :)

What a song !!! AMAZING. una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado. larga vida a sonata arctica.
03:07 onwards, can listen to the chorus all day and never get bored, love this song.
Their new albums are far more unique-sounding and complex when you think about it. Especially the lyrics.
It took me a while to admit it but I love the way they evolve!
Sonata Arctica, Thanks for exists in my life!! And thank you Nuclear Blast!!
I came across this band a couple of days ago, i cant stop listening scince, what a great band, i do a lot of running, i cant wait to get them on my ipod
Por fin!!! SA, cumple lo que promete :D como siempre me hace vibrar de emoción, estos hombres son perfectos
They were, they are and they will be fantastic.
Always fantastic!
Sonata has been one of my top favorite bands like 7 years.. And i did forgot it for like for 2 years totally.. But oh my god i totally missed this awesome sound and band
Simple and meaningful to me. I've really enjoyed it.
And for those who still don't know this is about friendship.
Oh yes, "And until I find my peace I'm but a shade" gives me chills every time. :D
First bit so nice then it kicks in wow!
A very good song, the reason that some people doesn't like this song because it's more of a rock song than heavy metal, and that's sad because it's still Sonata Arctica, The lyrics, melodies and everything are just as good as before.
Great song!! Sonata is a really impressing band..each song shows a different thing...and thats the reason why you need to listen all them songs
Sonata's great, I love all their stuff, They've changed but they are themselves. It's great for you to have bands like them, how would I like to meet them T-T !!! Please bring them again to Colombia, I wanna have the chance to go to their show, they're great. Thanks for the video Nuclear!!!!
Thanks for speaking for all SA fans. I thought I loved this song, but apparently I was wrong. Good to know where I stand on it.
Brasil!!!
Great song, simply videoclip... just SONATA ARCTICA
I´ve just discovered this song...make me cry...make me goose bump...OMG.... make me find a real sense of living..Thanks a lots for this song. Sorry my english, a Little rusty
now that's a Sonata video that doesn't suck and is about THEM. I approve.
Finally!!!! They went prety basic but it worked really well!!! Now we can officaly start waiting for the next album!!
My favorite band ever
I love this band is the best.
yeah ^^
I forgotten how awsome this band is
..on the field where the stones grow dead names..
Epic!
I thought so, too, some years ago. But when I got used to Unia, I really loved that album and still do.

Nada me hizo mas feliz este dia, gracias Sonata Arctica
If you feel that way then I guess that's all there is to it to you. To me there's a whole new world to their new stuff to discover and man I am exploring with the greatest of joys :).

Cara eles não precisam voltar a ser oque era, eles nunca deixaram de ser
Greaaat soooong! Sonata Arctica,the best metal band!!
Me encanta Sonata artica 😎
This is the best song from the new album in my opinion. Well composed and written.
Thank you for listening! :)
Great song. I wish I could see these guys live. Unfortunately I live in the wrong state in the wrong country.
I absolutely love this song. The video is great, but I kinda like the tour bus time-lapse video Tony did on the USA tour better.
Hermosa canción, me hace recordar el día del concierto 15-03-13 Chile
Grande Sonata!!!!!!!!!! son lo mejor de Europa :)
11 years too! sonata arctica is great... from Venezuela :D my favorite band forever
Beautiful, as usual. Sonata is forever.
Love this band. Thanks for your beautiful music, I hope you continue for many years ♥~
are you Sonata Arctica? then, how can you say this is not Sonata Arctica? people evolve, bands evolve, and Tony can compose whatever he wants, and if you don't like it, just don't listen to the new songs, nobody forces you.

Remeber the times when Sonata Arctica Songs did not base on a single word, but were epic poems ...
amo esta cancion, gracias por tantos años de buena musica❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Just awesome! Wonderful song and SA always rock!

This song is 40% Sonata Arctica and 60% some rock style from the 80's...
thats great
simple and beautiful,nothing more! just loved it!
melhor banda pra mim atualmente.
Old da minha infância, que obra de arte
It took me way to long to figure out that "The field where stones grow dead names", is just another way of saying "graveyard".
Oh wait "Stones Grow Her Name" makes much more sense
Yeah I always thought that lyric was a reference to the album title
MrTigercube that was an easy one.
SONATA
Que genios me encanta su musica! sonata artica♥ pedazo de banda! jeje
No problem! We here in Finland have a lot of promising talent in music industry :) Especially in metal music.
I love the finland 🇫🇮 music 🎶 o love sonata ártica 🐺 🇫🇮 stratovarius ensiferum children of bodom khalma
Another video? This really surprises me, 'cause Sonata is not such a video-maker, but the song is good and deserved a video.
Now I'm wondering wether they could make a Cinderblox video, I really love that song from their last album.
I'm not really a Sonata Arctica fan, but I very much enjoyed this song!
A mi criterio el mejor videoclip del Stones Grow Her Names :,)
I - love - them. This video is fantastic.
