[DaniB181]

I became a HIM fan in 2006/2007 and still am more than ever. I was about 15 when I first started listening to the love metal and I still love every minute. :)

[MetalChickxX]

best HIM song ever

[cickafark90]

Yep, that's Budapest, in Hungary at 2:20 !!! :D ;)

[Magirk38]

Awesome video and photos. Great song!

[greatestlovesongshim]

i love the pic @ 3:48

[XxDominicFlamezxX]

Can Someone Help Me and give me a good tattoo idea meaning love's Requiem?

[astrololee]

@XxDominicFlamezxX You could use images from the song, i.e the serpent but with tears coming from his eyes entwined through the heartagram symbol and maybe a wilted rose somewhere....just my thoughts only...lol!!

[XxDominicFlamezxX]

@astrololee thank you thts acually a good idea if u hav other ideas loved to hear them (:

[VenusDoomDeepShadows]

This band is why I still play this game called life.

[MetalChickxX]

@VenusDoomDeepShadows oh my god me too

[Brennanthefurry]

Best song off Venus Doom by far, one of the best HIM songs ever written <3

[LiebeLeben]

The ultimate best song



[DracuStein669]

One of H.I.M.'s most beautiful songs ever written.it's like they're "stair to heaven".

[suomi630]

Amazing, beutiful song. I love it!!!

[dirtybutclean01]

and those pictures, haha, just awesome!

[dirtybutclean01]

indeed, one of the best songs. i really do love the last part!

[SuperVampirerose]

THE GUITAR SOLO IN THE BEGINNING GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS

[XjoddNY]

amazing song!!!

[headfirst4halos9]

Ever since Ive been listening to HIM my vocabulary and my writing have advanced quite alot... my english teacher and her gradebook thank you Mr. Valo

[Josh4639]

Love this song and venus doom in my opinion is the best album from H.I.M

[MarshMellowChronic]

he did this song as a demo in 1992 i wonder why it took him until 2007 to release it

[ranoutofeyeballs]

@MarshMellowChronic

OMG really.... how do you know that? No wonder it sounds like the old stuff. I wonder what would have happened if they did this album/style instead of Deep Shadows!!

[MarshMellowChronic]

@ranoutofeyeballs i know that because its on the unreleased demo of witches and other night fears, the songs on that demo are;

Warlock Moon

Blood And Fear

Black Candles

Sleepwalking Past Hope

The Heartless

Serpent Ride

ive heard them all apart from the first 3.

[MrTylerRich]

@ranoutofeyeballs it wouldve been something incredible, u do know that disarm me on screamworks is a real old song as well

[ranoutofeyeballs]

@MrTylerRich

Nope thanks. I don't realy like Screamworks. How is it you know they're old?

[MrTylerRich]

@ranoutofeyeballs because ville has mentioned in an interview i watched that some songs on screamworks are really old songs

[rock4lifevallin]

I see so much Edgar Allan Poe influence in this song its just amazing BTW Happy 202 Birthday to Edgar Allan Poe.

[thedeathofnyx]

a masterpiece♥

[Rivfader17]

This is pretty much the only song over 5 minutes that i can listen to the whole thing.

[Mezmarizeoz]

love it, never forget seeing them in perth, the bass guitar drove thew my soul on this song

[bigslam10]

Their singer looks like a fag. lmao!

[MrEksaben]

@bigslam10 Ahaha. is that supposed to be a "bigslam"? You're the faggot. GTFO.

[HIMgirl666]

@bigslam10 NOOO you!

[ThattSUXX]

@bigslam10 ur sick in te head! 

[headfirst4halos9]

@bigslam10 Funny, you must be quite unattractive to feel the need to point out these things. Fact is, regardless of how you feel about his looks, he gets more ass then you could ever hope so, not only that but his bank account is probably like godzilla to the tiny little asian man that is YOUR savings so.... stfu mista!

[GrazuoleNr1]

oh, Ville is realy beautiful

[vdaph26]

definitely thats the most beautiful and deeply touching song with that lyrics..my favorite - 2:19, thats in Hungary, Budapest:D -

[nightwishinblue]

oooh where are all these GORGEOUS pictures from??? pliiz tell me!!! aww ville is best! i wish he would never become older and never die, he is so f*cking AMAZIIING!! <3<3<3

[SheenaAlexis]

Now heres a band that truly plays real music...its poetry with perfectly played intruments <3

[chixie91]

@SheenaAlexis totally!!! I am simply in love with their versatility!

[GatitaRose93]

9:31...

[ranoutofeyeballs]

@GatitaRose93 holy crap.

[nofear1909]

I've never seen ville in shorts before. and what kind of shoes are those?

[nicknikkie]

Ah I love this band. Met them in Seattle. <3

[ClaretaBulilela]

@nicknikkieYou're so lucky T_T They almost never come to Spain.. :(

[lulis7305]

i love this song!! my favoritesss!!

[MrDarky941]

One of the greatest songs ive ever listened to, HIM forever

[vanrok]

In our hearts love keeps sweet-talking to despair

And goes on sleepwalking past hope

All is lost in this war

And all we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song

Sleepwalking past hope

[CrimsonRain696]

fascinates me !!!

[Andokae]

It's my favorite song, it's just a piece of art <3

[Po0nix]

Best song by HIM, best song by mankind? YES! ooooooh how i love this song, amazing 10 minutes of pure Eargasme

[mnmno123mnmno]

<3 <3 <3 <3

[Saladsrising]

I gave up long ago... painting love with crimson flow...ran out of blood, and hope, so I paint you no more. Best line ever

[pinkietows]

[Klabella96]

I love HIm with my heart and my soul...HIM 4 ever!

[17VenusDoom]

uwielbiam<3

[crittoprrr]

Just a ton of talent in that band. Seriously.

[hellokitty101123]

i love it!

[shadowbat101]

i think this Him's greatest song besides, Dead Lovers Lane

[SheenaAlexis]

@flymyraven Well not only was he depressed and almost at deaths door by drinking and partying jonna and him also had a messy breakup,so that fits in with "what he was going through" ya may hate her,hell im not a fan myself but the truth is,is that VD is about his breakup with her and the drinking and depression,they all go hand in hand....

Ive heard Ville say it myself!

[babzville303]

@SheenaAlexis ....I agree, 100% with your comment.

[Pinkspiderable]

♥♥♥ We love you Ville♥♥♥

♥♥♥ We love the music♥♥♥

[MrGuyv2000]

Ville Valo put finland on the map

[SuperVa1]

i think this is a good song to cover with piano .. it'd be awesome !

[legolas15111]

can't wait to see them im march, too! Great music, nice blend from all the instruments and the voice

[89catslover98]

Hell yeah!

9 March, Paradiso, Amsterdam! :D

[Vilibp]

2:20 It's Hungary's Parlament in the background, and they're sitting next to the Danube.

Hey guys, you haven't been here for far too long!

[TheAndySlade]

ahh i cannot wait to see them in March. Dreams officially come true people! i've waited years for the day i have Ville, Gas, Linde, Burton & Mige playing their beautiful music infront of my eyes.

[zanuck1987]

it's my fav song from HIM.. :X

[XmychemrockX]

favourite song :D woooo can't wait to see them in march!

[slg11354]

This song grew on me until it became my favorite HIM song. I didn't buy it until about a month ago because I'm a new HIM fan. The opening guitar riff plays in my head a lot at work and during my different classes at school. HIM is infectious in the best way and I have caught the bug!

[C0SMICP0PE555]

they use the same riff in another song called "Salt in Our Wounds (Thulsa Doom Version) you can find it on Uneasy Listening Vol I

peace

-pope

[britmetal]

@fetabomb venus doom.

[aliveSlayer]

lazer have his guitar very low...

[thefluffykind]

this may be the best song from HIM, in my opinion.

[ClaretaBulilela]

@thefluffykind Agree totally!

[glenncontrolhate]

@thefluffykind agreed

[Feuerdrache0]

This so epic. HIM the best band ever^^. new album 2010 yeeeaaah^^

[hoferaj6425]

@Feuerdrache0 REALLY I'M SOOOOOOOO GETTING IT. wats the title

[StitchedDead1O]

@Feuerdrache0 Well their new album sucked pretty bad...

[mizzsmokey]

I agree with everyone here. This song is amazing <3 Love HIM

[anDReaCatter92]

Im in Love with this song...soo deep, everytime I listen to HIM theres a new reason to believe they are the best band in the world!

[LonelyBratGeany]

Epic song.I just can't understand how is it possible to love a song more with everytime you hear it.

[toohappytobealive666]

1:42 i love the way he looks XD omfg

Û^Û <kinda like that XD

[SheenaAlexis]

AMAZING song from an AMAZING band :)

[TheAndySlade]

going to see them in march!

a dream come true!

i fucking love HIM

[remrule]

same here where are you seeing them to,have you heard there new song though?,if so what do you think of it

[TheAndySlade]

thats awsome, and yeah of course I have, Heartkiller is amazing, cant wait to hear it live!

[vampirherz2]

das lied ist so unglaublich schon '')

[ALEXMOY33]

some stole all my discography. :'(

[hukkunut]

This song is still too short... It should be around 25-60 minutes.

[astridsnumberone]

I own this song

its amzing!!!! <33333

i cry everytime i listin to it<333333

[SheenaAlexis]

amazing as usual....

[dorkoskislany]

2:19 min. is this the Hungarian parliament? hmmm...

[flymyraven]

It's not about her...its about him, what he was going through...

[hukkunut]

Venus Doom is about them all: The big five, the HIM.

[SheenaAlexis]

@flymyraven Well not only was he depressed and almost at deaths door by drinking and partying jonna and him also had a messy breakup,so that fits in with "what he was going through" ya may hate her,hell im not a fan myself but the truth is,is that VD is about his breakup with her and the drinking and depression,they all go hand in hand....

Ive heard Ville say it myself!

[psychegloom]

No, it's not about Jonna, I'm sure the feelings he felt when they broke up inspired some of the songs in the album, this one in particular, but most of the album is reflective of how he felt during the time they were recording the album, you see, a close friend of his died, and of course, you would add the whole Jonna thing to it too.

[cismicoxxx]

Valo fucking genious :D

[JessNeves7]

Best SONG ever.

[chibixaileen]

is it this song that he wrote about his break up with his old abusive girlfriend or was it cyanide sun? Regardless, absolutely amazing song and guitar solo!

[SheenaAlexis]

they all probably have someting to do with what he was going through at that time..breakup,alcohol addiction etc.

but yes this is about jonna " the very stupid girl that took ville for granted...very stupid "

[D1nges]

Ville broke up with Jonna? :O

Why, they looked so good together, I thought they got married!

[OneVikingHeart]

This song, yes, he speaks about it on the DVD, but in fact the whole album is about her, one can see that in the lyrics which are almost uncomfortably open and true. Legendary song!

[TheAndySlade]

"fetabomb" - its on Venus Doom.

this is my favourite HIM song. as a stupidly massive HIM fan i didn't know i could single a favourite of theirs to one song. then i heard this. there is so much emotian in this song. I'm not religious but thank god for Ville Valo. (L)

[IdolizingVilleValo]

theres so much emotions going on in this song its almost unbearable to take them all in at once but only the truest HIM fans can do that with this song XD

just got my first HIM tat last night!! fucken love it!!!!! :D:D:D

[MindAlteringSoul]

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

[Thanatosartrip]

se fueron en la vola para hacer este buenisimo tema

[FatmanXVII]

Amen for that! This song has brightened each day that I've lived alone and depressed. Long live metal, and love live H.I.M

[D1nges]

[Magirk38]

Hey! A couple of people removed me as their friend. If any of you know me or have seen my comments on HIM or my channel........do you think I'm a HIM fan?

A loyal one? I feel so hurt. I explained to them I have bipolar disorder, they say I'm using it as an excuse. I am a very nice person, it's their loss. HIM ROCK. I listen to this song all the time in my car!
