HIM is another Finnish band that I really adore. They have a lot of similarities to The 69 Eyes, if you have read the last review that I wrote. They are also a Goth/metal band. Between the two bands they are more serious about their material rather then being tongue and cheek like The 69 Eyes. That’s one of the main difference other then they tend to focus their songs more on relationships, heartache, and sorrows that women bring in a man’s life. Their lyrics are all beautifully written, and often overlooked by critics and fans alike. I don’t really have much to say about them, because I would rather let their music do the talking.

ding" one of my personal favorite songs. I especially enjoy the lyrics.

Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are it's willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame

Trust is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
The more we have, the more we want
And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby
It always ends up in tears

So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it's alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending, it's alright

When doubts arise, the game begins
The one we will never win, my baby
It always ends up in tears

So keep on pretending
Our heaven"s worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it's alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending, it's alright

Repeat

Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are it's willing prey,my darling
We are not the ones to blame
