Insomnium: Daughter Of The Moon

[VepxProductions]

That riff in the intro, simply whoa

[zwortaymon]

A day I told a girl that I wrote a poem about metal, about what it made me feel, and she said " Metal and poetry, I don't think it would fit..." Obviously she had absolutely no idea of what metal is. This song is just beautiful and I defend the beauty of this music!

[soratoxm]

Good shit man, good reason to post to.. Sorry for you're loss bro.

[VampiricSteph]

I must love my replay button!!! lmao... i look this song...

[eiderez]

i still press replay..again and again...and again

[satanschild1974]

i like it !!!

[tarantella212]

Awesome awesome song!

[spoon149]

its great, untill the vocals come in :(

[ixsetf]

@spoon149 the vocals are the best part, what are you talking about?

[spoon149]

@ixsetf Its not the vocals i mind, its just the whole compostion of the diminished chords and the regular 4/4 beat along with the vocals. Just doesn't appeal to me

[spoon149]

@ixsetf from about 0:30 to 1:40 its just diminshed chords in 8th notes. meh anyone can do that

[spoon149]

@spoon149 1:20 srry

[ixsetf]

@spoon149 there isn't a single diminished chord in that section. Do you mean power chords?

[Kamelot252]

I stayed up to watch the Eclips on the moon today as I am connected to its change of mood. Love it!

[axalking1]

why doesnt everyone just chill out, smoke some weed and enjoy the beauty of Insomnium :)

[zwortaymon]

@axalking1 You don't need weeds to enjoy music, art is more enjoyable without drugs. I have just listened to that song and I had a very deep feeling, this is just amazing. I have this kind of feeling when I listen to a lot of melodic death metal and I'm all the time completely sober...

[angra44]

@axalking1 well said

[cocozaococozao123]

I can't get away from pathetic people. Not even here.

[JohnAdamosGr]

Beautiful song

[dokiejos]

emo's some people like you are the wanna be's

[3synwars]

If only the acoustic intro was a bit longer.

[ShadeofJericho]

Yes u can, but so can I. Balles wankers like you make my blood boil. So, keep on posting your "opinions". Ill just tear them down and show everyone just how wrong you are. Tough luck, whore.

[AP93Playa]

@ShadeofJericho next time click the little "Reply" button, imbecile.

[ChristinaDarkRose]

I am in love with this song!I am really sorry for Emma,may her rest in peace.

[Dartht33bagger]

The riff at 5:23 always gets me. It's just beautiful. Love this song.

[cyrisis1]

God Bless her soul. And its great to hear this song when you miss someone special.

[AP93Playa]

this band is so ridiculously overrated.

[ShadeofJericho]

@AP93Playa I'm not saying you can't dislike Insomnium, but you don't have to come here to comment about it you prebuscent dickhead. Keep your opinions with yourself if you're not asked, no one wants to read your lousy wannabe trolls.

[AP93Playa]

@ShadeofJericho someone´s mad. i can say whatever i want to say bitch. dont like it, tough shit.

[Tanis350]

@AP93Playa You are ridiculously gay

[AP93Playa]

@Tanis350 so is this band.

[Pezablez]

@AP93Playa Coming from someone who Favorited LoG, and Disturbed... No...just no... v_v.....

[AP93Playa]

@Pezablez ah, this shit again. i can even understand Disturbed because of their begginings (and because its pretty much a trend to hate on bands like them and avenged sevenfold, cant be stopped now) but what the fuck is your problem with LoG? you´re lucky i cant access your account now for some fucking reason, i´d like to see what kind of shit you have on your favorites too. probably more songs about sorrow, sadness and lost loves. give me a fucking break.

[Pezablez]

@AP93Playa Well... you do have a valid point with LoG they are way more Metal then Disturbed any day, but you really can't say Insomnium is overrated if you Favorited bands that have like what 5-10m+ views on average? v_v But whatever we all have our own opinions I guess. :/

[TomGrey15]

Memory... we save them after Death? No matter - energy and inmmortal line - it's Insomnium. They make my days... simlplies.

[ShadeofJericho]

@AP93Playa Having few song on favorites that tell about sorrow and sadness don't make anyone an emo. I just liked lyrics and the song as a whole. I admit it though, raging like that was a bit embarassing. Too much coffee I guess... Anyway, sentimental songs like this can't be forced to like. You don't like it, ok. Big deal to me anymore, got bored of arguing.

[k00lman5]

This is the song that put me in the all faithful audience of Insomnium

[TheDrapir]

I have my most popular comment on youtube on this song.........how's that awesome!!! Unforgettable!

[metalislife157]

@Assdafflabaff your a fucking asshole piece of shit

[IBiteTheHandThatFed]

@metalislife157 Yes his comment was horrible. But replying is exactly what he wants. Don't feed the trolls. Just spam and dislike.

[nomadbarefoot]

the guitar is mindblowing.. \m/

[pspvampire]

Everyone please copy this message and post it on every Insomnium vid you can find. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the 1st of October 2011, we as Insomnium fans will all watch the video for 'Down with the Sun' to give it more hits and get it to that 1million mark.

Insomnium have written the most beautiful music for their fans and it is time we gave them something back.

[relja8800]

Only fucking retards need to mention how many likes or dislikes there is.

[asevedo1]

i'm sorry for your loss. the song is perfect.

[WaxingMoonMagick]

She's well where she is...

As long as you hold her inside you,she's forever there,with you..

[joku124joku]

this song's so great :) please check out my guitar cover of this song :) and tell what you liked it

[Damned931]

Beautiful song <3

[derektheburster]

a good song, but I have heard better. as for your loss, well that's life I'm afraid old bean. other girls would love to have your love, if you can only give it to them. we must look forwards, not back, however bleak the future may be.

[voidofdeath]

No word is enough to fully describe how beautiful this song is. Epic band.

[imademonistthingy]

this song has been my alarmclock for 3½ years or so, still letting it play through every morning, it's that good

[EikkatinXD]

beautiful...but brutal >:)

[AhmadAlhour]

Death is the road to awe... The ever aspiring road of love and glory!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us man...

Stay Strong \m/

[blugeon1]

I'm sorry for your loss but with this song and her memory you shall forever love her as she was still with you by your side. This song is awesome and has good meaning to it.

[blablatiss1]

dude that learn to listen to this BEAUTIFUL SONG!

[666greatmetal]

damn I cant evin understand what the vocalist is saying but I can sort of fell it and I understand what u're saying and aim verry sorry

[Knomne]

18, (and sadly soon to be more :/) people don't understand what you're going through. <3

[Love2Hate0]

i love this song. and i'm sorry for your loss, it's always sad to lose someone important...

[ShadeofJericho]

I could say something about mainstream conspiracys, buuuut I think Im gonne be quiet. The easiest way to get metal music is to go to Finland. Whole country is so full of rebels that you're bound to find at least something you need.

[SuperSoupysoup]

@ShadeofJericho

The mainstream music industry is full of that. D:

I agree with you though, Finland is a good place. :D

[floweryolk]

DUDE I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND

[stormdog994]

hey can anyone drop me a download link for this song?

[MylinaspaincA]

@stormdog994 you can use a converter , try video2mp3..net , it works 

[Megadedly]

@stormdog994 Wow go buy an album for once.

[stormdog994]

@Megadedly where im at its hard to find an insomnium album or any kind of metal album plus i just want it on my ipod for free

[Megadedly]

@stormdog994 Exactly, that's not right...plus iPods suck.

[agalerex]

@stormdog994 you can download it (illegally and) for free from certain torrent websites.

[caseyguitarist]

@derpyfish i am 13, i am in a metal band, and i love this band being 13 has nothing to do with what music you listen to

[caseyguitarist]

RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!

sorry this song is so epic i have lost all sanity

[CompletelyRelentless]

I love eminem and this, and just about anything that takes the slightest bit of talent.

[meowmastr123]

I love listening to Insomnium songs at night when the moon is shining and the trees look all eerie.

[sdp7x7]

i'd kill to see this live

[MetalDARKxSOUL]

aah ive listened to this like 60 times just on youtube ;D! its so amazing :D!!!!

[9rmetal]

17 will give birth to something disgusting

[shieldmasterltd]

Awesome lyrics

[MroAeon]

Easily one of my favorite songs. Lyrics are amazing.

[MrMetalfr3ak]

"Still at night I see her figure

Flickering on moonlit glades

But passing is the hope she's giving

Just a faintest breath of air and she's gone again" <3

Speechless!

[ShadeofJericho]

Can't believe somenone disliked this. They should shoot themselves in the ass. with a shotgun.

[loudbrit]

Bin laden died cause he fell asleep, he should have been Insomnium.

[MroAeon]

@loudbrit Insomnium means Bad Dream in latin. . . Bin Laden just had an insomnium, one that he will never wake up from.

[syntheticskull]

@MroAeon Actually it means "Dreamscape". Its a poetic word and not something youd commonly read.

[MroAeon]

@syntheticskull Ville Friman: It’s Latin and has several meaning, e.g. insomnia and nightmare. Niilo spotted the word from the Latin dictionary. It just sounded cool and had meaning that suit well with the atmosphere of our music. And as we were heading to studio for the first time we had to have name and Insomnium was born.

Dreamscape sounds like it works too.

[biffington]

"Slender the shape in night, unbearable the beauty

Shining in the silvery light, watching me with wistful eyes

Evanescent this vision, unattainable this illusion

But an image in my troubled dreams, hewn out of yearning and rue"

chills.

[xthelonedrowx]

I love it man!!! it is awsom. At the end the song goes with such feeling.... Amazing

[luizo0094]

insomnium *o* /,,/

[WintersunFTWFTW]

fuck, i was having a really big headache, then i listened to this song and now i feel alot better :)

[LordFlippy559]

@WintersunFTWFTW

You weren't headbanging hard enough :D

[KimiiiRaikkonen]

@WintersunFTWFTW You are weird m8:D.. Its more likely to go out from this song with headache:D. 12min and 28 min with headbanging (cause to listen to this song once is not enough :))

[thysins]

this song is beautiful <3 fuck anyone who dislike this

[pkmaster650]

@thysins its not beautiful its fucking descraceful and its just horrible i dont know how to explain how horrible it is , it doesnt even make sence and you can tell what their saying its redicilous

[derpyfish]

@pkmaster650 You are such a disgrace that you can't spell disgraceful. Or sense. Or ridiculous. As for the music, Gtfo if you don't like it. No one's forcing you to listen to it. Are there any metalheads bashing that EMINEM song in your favorites? No, because we're intelligent enough to know it's a waste of time.

[pkmaster650]

@derpyfish intelligent listening to this pile of turd? its redicilous this implys you are very dark person if you like this crap not intelligent

[derpyfish]

@pkmaster650 Again, Ridiculous*, Implies* It's*. Based on your logic, If someone who listens to this is dark, then one who listens to Eminem is white trash. Correct? It can take years of practice to learn an instrument to play in a metal band, But it doesn't take a genius to create the shitty, generic pop beats you hear on the radio. I'm going to guess you're 13 years old. Perhaps you'll learn to stop being so ignorant when you get older.

[pkmaster650]

@derpyfish just got your ip End.

[derpyfish]

@pkmaster650 You're mentally retarded. End.

[MetalDARKxSOUL]

@pkmaster650 lol fake hacker xDu r a fail

[ShadeofJericho]

@pkmaster650 Your such an asshole. Go fuck yourself and listen to that pop-shit of yours.

[ShadeofJericho]

@pkmaster650 Päässäs kusta aivojen tilalle? Mee vittu kotiin runkkaamaan saatnan palliton kakara.

[marktda]

@pkmaster650 Have you been paid for saying bullshits, or you're doing it just as hobby?

Ti pagano per dire cazzate o lo fai per hobby?

[nemisishunter3]

utube fails again WHERE IS THE LOVE BUTTON ....

[stonix1992]

@nemisishunter3 love button -> stands for one less negative and one more positive counter . well idea

[pspvampire]

@stonix1992 You can't stick a value on love. To me love for insomnium accounts for -10000000000 dislikes and + 10000000000000000000000000 likes

[MrDarkGrape]

She's the daughter of the moon... :(

[80smetalchild]

im really sorry to hear about your loves death. i always feel in these extrmely dark and painful situations nothing is a better cure than music. so im happy for you that you found a song to relate. i know i have for many other situations, it always is the best medicine. beautiful song

[avatar7011]

3:50 - 4:40 legendary melody and transition, and im really sorry about your loss, but always think forward dont stay in the past :)

[LucasHartwell]

They speak of love, yet all i ever get is a bowl of hate for breakfast.

[Akatsuki1751]

this is a good song

[TheNightsMoon]

Beautiful! This is a good example of melodic metal.

[Duvefjord101]

3:40 + is just godlike, i love this song so much! and it just gets better and better for every day that comes!

[crute88]

Quite a reminder on what a curse love is! but it is quite amazing that something so strong can taint a heart. and beat in there untill ur a pile of maggot food :/

[BlackMetalQueen]

<3

[HARVSTO]

i wouldn't mind replaying this song all day.

[TheGrimlok]

Death is only the beggining.

[martiangoomba]

Dreadfully sorry about your loss. As i have heard once before by someone I can't remember, "Tis better to have loved then lossed then to have never loved at all".

[MenOnBirthControl]

if they would actually sing this would be an amazing song

[gabbergandalf667]

@MenOnBirthControl

Nah. Been there, done that. This kind of music doesn't work well with clean vocals. It would take away much of the energy and emotions of the song. For further information, see: whiny, modern metalcore.

[koga666]

@MenOnBirthControl why would you want Insomnium to change their style and even change who they are, they follow their roots dont forget that

[MetalDARKxSOUL]

fuckin great :DD!

[MrRODOLFO1982]

likeeeee _D

[tacityrn]

don't fear this life and don't fear this dreadful fate

cursed fate to walk alone if you have to

but you don't have to.

you know emma doesn't want you to suffer

as much as if i thought about it, if i died and the girl i loved

i wouldn't want her finding love anywhere else buuut

yeah if i was looking down, couldn't bear to see her that way

i would rather she find happiness and love and comfort

your emma wishes the same

[keylllogdark]

is hard...

[pinopalota]

Man, guys, i am going to make much video,s with lyrics for insomnium, i will try to make it as best as i can!, much pics and good quality, will you guys watch?I really have respect for this band that i want to share.

[ForsakenTank]

@pinopalota Go for it dude I will watch em. Tip ghastly forests and meloncholy winter scenes work great for pictures.

[cristian1854]

this song puts me into a trance that no drug can mimic! Insomnium is one of the most glorious metal bands there is, and I proud to be a follower! Let us rise one day together as one my brethren and we will take on the fans of hip hop and rap, they know of nothing deeper than a woman's vagina. Our journeys take us to the ends of the Universe, we feel more in two minutes than those scum could ever feel in a lifetime! We ride into the night with no regrets, only the moon to watch over us.

[stormdude10234]

- eargasem -

[maisquimadenoncer]

shit, I feel a tear coming. I can not describe. This song is just beautiful, I feel a great power, love, nature... everything I love. And listening to this music, it reminds me that the days dark and sad is not made to last ... And raise the head.

Insomnium, I have a great respect for you.

[cristian1854]

@maisquimadenoncer and i for you my friend

[HomuncuIus]

This music is amazing, it would be alot better without screams.

[imonyourfacewoot]

@HomuncuIus They're called growls, actually. I used to LOVE the instrumentals in death metal, but I hated the growls as well. Now i got used to it, and I love it :) open mind!

[ugotnuked3]

this is the only band i know that whispers in their songs

[adaniels1000]

@ugotnuked3 That might just be because they're one of the only ones that can AND pull it off successfully.

[TheDrapir]

Sorry for your loss...There are people who really love,who can feel true love...but they can love only once.There are also the others who think they love, but they can fall in love again and again, and will never feel true love. Death is insignificant, AMOR VINCIT OMNIA! For the first love that can't be forgotten, we live in shades of this world,searching the trace of it in the moonshine, no matter how dark the world may be she'll always be the shining one. If you really loved her,you'll know...

[cristian1854]

@TheDrapir I can only only think of one woman that I have loved, and she knows, she is the one who got away, my insatiable desire for her drove her away. now her fate is sealed and she will only turn out with those who treat her like dirt, my love, my princess... she is gone.

[UIFRINN]

@TheDrapir dude that was fucking beautiful

[KrustynailsVideo]

@TheDrapir .....................!!!!! :)

[xervis2]

@TheDrapir yeah...you can love only once...even if it hurts...even if it burdains your mind....even if it shreds your heart

[keylllogdark]

16 people are shit...

[TheGtaPlayer1]

THIS IS UTTERLY S.H.I.T

[Reaper2252]

@TheGtaPlayer1 FUCK YOU YOu Dont Know What Music Is If You Think That This Is SHIT YOUR ARE A PEICE OF SHIT NOT THIS VIDEO,

[BroadwayRonMexico]

@TheGtaPlayer1 You listen to Eminem and Timbaland. You aren't qualified to have an opinion on real music

[TheGtaPlayer1]

@BroadwayRonMexico LOLOLOLOLOL maybe, but atleast you can heat there voices unlike this shit music..Okay i admit i like the rock music BUT NOT THE SCREAMING.. MUSIC ISN'T MADE FOR SCREAMING..

[puffintuffer]

@TheGtaPlayer1 Music is a form of art, some pieces of art go to extremes, the voice can be considered an instrument, screams and enraged voices are pleasing to some. It takes a more refined musical palate to appreciate this form of art.

[TheGtaPlayer1]

@puffintuffer Well, those people do take it to the extreme, how do you get ANY joy of hearing this? Can you understand it? Is it the 'Language of music' -No. IMO this shouldn't be classified as music but as a Extremist form of instrumental depression.

[puffintuffer]

@TheGtaPlayer1All music is just simply noise!

My ears like to hear all sounds.

I would like to suggest a musical artist for you to experience, the name is Ulver, I think you might like the album "Perdition City"

this is not a joke, trust me, it's very good music. No screams (I think)

[tamaransns]

@TheGtaPlayer1 Only the blessed can see the beauty of the beast...

[TheGtaPlayer1]

@tamaransns okay. :S

[PickleMan2135]

@BroadwayRonMexico Eminem is good. So is insomnium. I like both. Just my opinion tho...

[HARVSTO]

@TheGtaPlayer1

I highly doubt your standard of music.

[TwistInMyth]

im sorry for your loss...

[LocustClock]

I heard this song years ago on metal radio and I could never find it. Then I was on last.fm looking for new metal and it just so happened to come up on the list. The intro is so amazing

[keylllogdark]

I want to listen this song in live my friends.....pls...

[HARVSTO]

i would say there is sooo much love in this song that just cant be expressed by "normal" music. plus dude, live well, if she knows up there she would hope so too. (damn you Finnisy guy taking my "favourite band" slot ne by one)

[noobymuffinman]

reading the lyrics nearly brought tears to my eyes as i too can identify with them. props to a kickass band and sorry for your loss bro

[keylllogdark]

oh man. this song is hard then...

[IooWaaxx]

I'm sorry for you loss, bro. Beautiful way to honour her, and this is really a awesome song. May the metal be with both her and you. <3

[GigaRagnaSlave]

This is a great, emotional song. Love is something that is very hard to catch. But once you do possess it, you must cherish every second of your relationship with that someone. For it can be taken away from you at any moment. I'm definetely going to check out more of Insomnium :).

[TheCharon1]

GREAT

[MetalForTheMasters]

Love is but a trap, A force of darkness waiting to ensnare you in its deceiving grip. For once you fall into it you are damned to lose someone you can't bare to live without. Is it better to never love and never hurt or to love and later grieve?

[Jesperc888]

Beautiful song, so glad I found it!

@MetalForTheMasters Even though it'll be unbearable to live without, I'm sure you won't regret the time being with her when she's gone.

[MetalForTheMasters]

@Jesperc888 Grief is a cruel and twisted thing. Something that never goes away.

[trygb]

did any1 else notice the switch in guitars in the beginning??? that was EPIC!!!! from acoustic to electric.. i think lol

[RhewBleiddiad]

@blaqkangel92 At least she loved you.And now she will always do.We human are so fragile you know.We are like glass life shatters us some endure and go on with their cracks which might heal but they will always remember us what caused them because only scars remain and wounds heal.Go on with life.At least you found love...I haven't yet because I thought I found it.

[waiting2die44]

they are now my favorite band (along with be'lakor, but they sound crazy similar to these guys)

[keylllogdark]

better is impossible...

[TobiasLaughes]

Definitely one of the best of its kind.

[Bronzere]

I miss one too, but she still abides here, the song that makes me remember is Insomniums Shades of deep green.
