Sonata Arctica - Blank File [Album: Ecliptica -1999]

[ERICKERMR]

is not henrik klingenberg at the keytar?

[OneLitreOfSilence]

signing*

[OneLitreOfSilence]

Hehe how come this song is so beyond the time, jsut few days before singing ACTA ;D

[Holydiver7019]

It is awesome that these lyrics are from 1999 !!!, it is true what he sings .

Nowadays many people with the iphones are sharing everything , so " they " , know everything .

[DarkNshY]

I just today actually READ the lyrics, i have been listening for this for 5-6 years or soo and I was completely blown away. Fucking awesome!

[Aaeternitade]

Tony also foretold Facebook, here's the living proof

[imawesome432]

Is this about the Internet, pop culture etc.... ?

[ANDROID454545416]

@imawesome432 Yes.

[donikr]

Ecliptica \m/ the best album

[tiemar3396]

instrumental break?! dont you mean awesome solo?!

[voteboo]

best album ever of sonata arctica. Wish they could make something close to ecliptica and silence(best two albums of sonata arctica). Damn, I guess it will stay in a wish only 'cause the stuff they make nowadays(with a different line-up of course) is somewhat mainstream and not very "catchy" like "blank file" and so on and so forth.

[ad0lfchrist]

@voteboo agreed

[dedmoon13]

thanks - awesome...

[rodrigogier]

2:08 reminds me of wolf and raven

[TITHESMOREPALI]

Y2K what the hell is that?

[Krollification]

@TITHESMOREPALI Millenium bug.. Heck, google it!

[TITHESMOREPALI]

@Krollification THNX PAL. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARS "FUTURE" INSTEAD OF Y2K ?

[TheSjig1]

@TITHESMOREPALI

i hear it too..

maybe we are the 2 weirdest people on earth??

[Krollification]

@TITHESMOREPALI Might be "the future" . I think the lyrics in the video are copied directly from the sheet in the Album tho, can't remember any longer =P

[imawesome432]

@TITHESMOREPALI No, he's distinctively saying "future" not "Y2K".

[Dragonslord01]

@TITHESMOREPALI Dude, either the lyrics are messed up, or we all need our ears checked. I swear he says "Waiting for the future with a fear." No clue where the Y2k came from.

[Krollification]

@Dragonslord01 Yes, he is saying future. my mistake, as i told earlier these lyrics were copied from some lyrics site or the offical sheet. can't remember. anyways, there is some errors in the Sonata sheets, so its not that unlikely. Also, for me it has the same meaning, if you think about when this song was written, y2k was probably what tony meant. .)

[nakase001]

i'm the 50001 viewer of this video

[DEHUNGERIZED]

does anybody know what lead for voice mikko is using on his keyboard during the solo

[willly920]

''STILL THEY TRY TO TAKE OVER, CONTROL MY LIFE''... sing this! xD xD

[Darktoonlink88]

@willly920

Tony has no musical limitations at all... He can do litterally everything, when it comes to music.

[scarface77752]

amazing songs and solos y sonata bset band ever way better then metalica never bother to here them cause i stick with sonata till the end

[DestructorOfMinds]

Oh one more thought!... I think this melody is one of the best of SA, it's just i don't really get the lyrics... idk,it's just that the first time i listen to this w/o paying attention to the lyrics i was like: OMG this must one of those epic songs about smthin mighty :P love SA tho

[DestructorOfMinds]

I've been wondering about this song... so Tony just doesn't like the internet? or is there some other deep meaning to this song?... Some say it's about a government conspiracy or somethin like that, but I don't really know... This is the only song of SA that I can't fully understand. Need some help plz xD

[Kratoscarthereal]

Il love the voice of this guy....

i wish i have his voice jaja....

[MercuriusWarrior]

this is my favorite song. i sing it everyday at my work :D

[moviemaker3000]

Then Henrik Klinginberg came into the picture and things got epic...

[mattliebl6199]

in my opinion henrik is better than mikko. mikko was great on silence but henrik is excellent when recording studio albums and he knows how to put on a great live show with his keytars.

[moviemaker3000]

Amen brother. He knows how it's done, but he's not in the same rank as Jens Johannson...he's like the god of all things keyboard and otherwise keytar =)

[mattliebl6199]

no. jens johannson is the god of metal keyboards

[moviemaker3000]

Isn't that what i just said?

[mattliebl6199]

oh no i thought u said henrik is god of keyboards and keytars

[moviemaker3000]

nah man he's good but jens is freaking phenomenal

[mattliebl6199]

yes didnt jens do keyboards for a sonata album?

[moviemaker3000]

Gah yes I think but I can't remember which. Was it Winterheart's Guild?

[mattliebl6199]

yes i believe so. winterhearts guild was a great album

[moviemaker3000]

oh yes =)

[mattliebl6199]

but my favorite albums will always be ecliptica and silence

[moviemaker3000]

For me, Ecliptica and Reckoning Night.

[mattliebl6199]

i have actually been listening to a few songs on the unia and days of grays albums

[moviemaker3000]

Unia is good, I hate Days of Grays.

[mattliebl6199]

my favorites from unia: paid in full, in black and white, and the vice

my favorites from days of grays: flag in the ground, last amazing grays, and no dream can heal a broken heart

[moviemaker3000]

Hey dude from Unia, check out It Won't Fade. Great song! I too love Paid in Full and In Black and White =)

[mattliebl6199]

good idea. i have my itunes running right now.

[moviemaker3000]

Hahaha yeeah man.

[mattliebl6199]

it wont fade is a good song indeed. my fav song out of all the sonata songs is black sheep

[moviemaker3000]

I don't think I can pick a favorite...too many good ones =) My first favorite song from them when I first heard of them was White Pearl, Black Oceans.

[mattliebl6199]

from the reckoning night album?

[moviemaker3000]

Yes sir =)

[mattliebl6199]

I am slowly learning about sonata arctica. im going to their concert in april so i need to be prepared. Ok i want you to name any sonata song and see if i can guess what studio album it was originally on.

[moviemaker3000]

Haha okay =) Champagne Bath.

[mattliebl6199]

Winterhearts guild.

[moviemaker3000]

Good good.  No CHEATING!!

Lets go with...Shamandalie.

[mattliebl6199]

i believe thats reckoning night

[moviemaker3000]

Yes sir. Kingdom For a Heart.

[mattliebl6199]

Ecliptica.

[moviemaker3000]

Ok...Tallulah.

[mattliebl6199]

shit. thats a song ive only listened to twice. damn it. i want to say winterhearts guild or silence. hmmmm i think will go with silence.

[moviemaker3000]

Yup you got it! Ok...White Pearl, Black Oceans.

[mattliebl6199]

reckoning night

[moviemaker3000]

Yes!

Destruction Preventer.

[mattliebl6199]

ecliptica.

[moviemaker3000]

Ok... how about... the Dead Skin?

[mattliebl6199]

days of grays. the only reason i know that is becuz it has a really weird keyboard solo

[moviemaker3000]

Lol yeah!

Okay...how about My Selene?

[mattliebl6199]

=D reckoning night. thats my second favorite song on the album.

[moviemaker3000]

Yeah man! My first is White Pearl, Black Oceans =) What's yours? Don't Say A Word?

Next song is...The End of This Chapter.

[mattliebl6199]

my favorite is misplaced. btw end of this chapter is on silence... i think

[moviemaker3000]

I will listen to that right now, I haven't heard it.

You are correct sir, and here is the next one:

Caleb.

[mattliebl6199]

unia.

[moviemaker3000]

Hmm... Wolf and Raven.

[mattliebl6199]

[mattliebl6199]

Takatalvi

[moviemaker3000]

[mattliebl6199]

[moviemaker3000]

Yeah you've got this man =)

[mattliebl6199]

haha yes. i really cant wait for them to come to california in late april.

[moviemaker3000]

I'm heading towards Chicago in April to see them =)

[mattliebl6199]

niiiiiice

[MrAmosoy]

NiCe ~:d:d:D:d:D:D:d

[AyNaDrGi]

In Ecliptica Tony does all the keyboards. Mikko Harkin joined SA in the recording of Silence.

[hylianfreak]

yeah then tony stopped doing the keyboards

[Kermitron]

Man, nothing gets me pumped like this song. It reminds you that the people outside your front door don't know you, and you create who you are in their minds every time you walk down the street.

Make yourself the person you want to be every day.

[takeshilugia]

i couldn't agree with you more :D

[mochotas]

ta loka la cancion y arib

a el metal yehaaaaaaa¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[vengeancymine87]

Maybe my favourite song of Sonata arctica

[andrewh817]

one of the best keyboard solos EVER..... How is Tony Kakko so fucking musically talented?? so good at keyboard, singing, and songwriting

[Bakeerful]

@andrewh817 he actually does everything in the band :D

[NicoFlowers03]

el 1999 tony kakko era el tecladista, no estaba mikko

[whatthebleepady]

it's "Waiting for the future with a fear"

Not Y2K...

[LoquendoMeister]

In where are write in letter "DEN" is "THEN" no "DEN"

[PsyMcDeath]

DEN : Private sphere, your House, your Hideout. DEN is correct.

[LoquendoMeister]

Sorry im from is argentinan you're correct.

[chofthenight]

Just you listen to/read the lyrics. These boys know what they are singing about.

[khyk120]

since first time i heard this song i started to think what kind file are they telling. thinking more it let me to next question: an internet virus/bug??.. still thinking at it and still dont know for sure..

[ploki122]

everyone on facebook/myspace should link to this to open the eyes your friend (cuz most people on these sites get dumb)

[TooMuchRockForYou]

this song makes me want to never use the internet again. I'm not saying its a bad song. Just looking at the meaning of the song

[pe2ga4sus]

i love this song and sa!!

[rzalan13]

Keys are played by Tony Kakko and bass is played by Janne Kivilahti

hope you take it next time :)

[Erixxn]

Yes, my mistake.. Is starting to get a long time since i uploaded this video. I know this now ;P

[EroDavid]

keys are played by tony? his the vocals LOL

[rzalan13]

In Ecliptica all keys were played by Tony. Mikko Härkin was only from 2000! And on the tour all two of them were playing keys!! That was said to be a bit extreme that days... :)

[NeilCohen]

Tony Kakko  vocals, keyboards

[mizuirolol]

This is fucking awesome, guitar awesome and of course keyboards too.

[fdnfdjnedb]

[VictoryShadow]

Mikko wasn't in the band when this song was made. Tony was the keyboardist for Ecliptica. Double check your info before you throw it in the video like that.

[moneyllica]

But they don't know a thing about me!

[Thyressarexus]

Well, you are 18 and from Peru. XD

[Henkelkatt]

[XxFIawLESSxX]

Blank File's solo is unbelievable!

[estranjero2]

[DerKoenigsm]

Jani was amazing, i dont know why they replaced him.

[WeedKiller667]

They had no choice. Apparently Jani was supposed to do something for his country and didn't. Sad though, Jani was the shit,but Tommy was always betterer >.>

[jokkearnt]

Uhm, he went into the army?

[diabloffs2]

niceeee now i can lear me the text ^^!!!

[totoms]

if u are being serious it is "Waiting for the future with a fear"

[VulutZ]
