Was born in 88. Loved them since I was 18. Thank you James for introducing me to them. We had good times at PK Lake. Burn bright and shine on everyone 🎩
I am 26 years old, I missed this group for a long time, but I realized that I start listening to it from morning on repeat until evening. After all, I almost missed the genius of each track of this band.
9 and 26 It's been 16 long years since that magnificent afternoon my (back then) favorite music channel premiered Wings of the Butterfly, it was my point of no return
I just got Brandon Novak's book and in it he talks about how Ville Vallo asked him why he turned to drugs and he told him "Heroin was my only companion. I was killing loneliness." Turned into such a powerful song. My 23 year old cousin died back in December 2022 due to his addiction.
When I discovered this song, I associated it with my girlfriend at the time, idk how she took it, but we didn't work out, and I don't think she took it the way I meant it. I had also attributed it to some of my friends over the years, isn't that what we all do? We have people and things in our lives to distract from the loneliness we would feel otherwise.. but, ya.. none of those people are currently in my life and I conclude that HIM, or even VV music has been MY only true companion
Gosh, HIM were my favourite band when I was 14/15. I'm 25 now and loving heavy metal. But hearing HIM again recently brought back so many great memories, miss this band. Ville Valo has and forever will have a beautiful voice
No, i mend that my statement was a joke:)))) I like heavy riffs allso: Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Van Halen, Helloween, Accept of course, Black Sabbath etc...But melodies won't do any harm to a song:))))
I’m 16 and I found out about this band from a friend and it’s so crazy that a lot of ppl listened when they were young in the 2000s now they are my favorite band
To be honest I discovered them recently and I see H.I.M are great musicians and Ville's voice is beautiful and he knows to work with it. Take care ,all the best
HIM never gets old for me, I’ve been a fan since i was just a young lad.i was always embarrassed to listen to this stuff in front of anyone but now They’re Possibly my favourite band of all time
@@malik87breaker they have been around since 1991 but stop being a band in 2017 so they have been around for years even if they have only have release only a few albums , most of the time would have been taken up by touring
I only recently discovered the band HIM because I only started listening to music on CZcams six months ago. And lo and behold, it was love at first listen 😃Their songs touch my heart and make me happy. Thank you 👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🇨🇿
The story behind this song is actually about heroin. He had a friend who was using and he asked why he was using and he said that it “kills his loneliness” so he decided to make a song about it.
My ex gf’s son always had a habit of getting on my PC without permission. I’ll never forget the night in late 06 when I came home from work, shook the mouse & pulled my PC outa sleep mode. On the screen was CZcams. The video paused was “Killing Loneliness”. I almost exited it out. Given the type of music this kid was listening (Akon, Shaggy, Eminem) I had good reason. However, for some reason I clicked “play”. Within seconds I was over joyed that this kid who was listening to garbage had found interest in music! I rifled through everything I could find.. Funeral of Hearts, Wings of a Butterfly, the Sacrament, Pretending.. I’m thinking “where the fuck have I been? These guys are amazing!” I discovered within an hour or so that Bam Marjera had pulled them into the American spotlight in 04-05. So I didn’t feel that far behind. I also found a new respect for Bam Marjera & was actually glad that this kid had started watching him on MTV. The next day I took him to Bestbuy. We bought Darklight. Later I went ham on ITunes & downloaded every HIM album in their catalog. I’ve seen them live 4 times since 07. Twice at house of blues in SC, Projekt Revolution & finally during the Tears on Tape tour where I finally met Valo by the band’s tour bus in Greensboro, NC. So from time to time I come back to this video. Albeit not the original & fairly better quality, it still brings back some fine memories. Btw, I was 36yrs old when I discovered HIM. They’ve been my fav band ever since. Me & my ex gf broke up in 09. I’m married with two young boys now. My current wife’s son from her previous marriage listens to tee total shit ( Travis Scott & the like). My heart swells with joy when my 8yr old looks at him and says “ your music sucks!”
I’m 32. I like this story and am a fan of HIM, but don’t appreciate the need to put down other artists. It’s fine to have our own tastes but there’s no need to hate on others. And I would suggest listening to “Yosemite” by Travis Scott, and see if you still think he’s total shit after 😉.
I was 15 years old when I first heard this song. Now I'm nearly 29 and it's still my favourite. Thank you for being with me at my hardest and happiest times with your music, I will dance to this song at my wedding too. Thank you Ville 🖤
Oh god I'm now the same age that Ville was when this was made and I feel so old because I remember being a teenager with a huge crush on him. Now I'm a grown-ass woman with a career in medicine, a husband, a mortgage and a kid, and I still have a crush on Ville Valo.
Memories, sharp as daggers Pierce into the flesh of today Suicide of love took away all that matters And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me, Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Nailed to the cross, together As solitude begs us to stay Disappear in the lie forever And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me, Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Killing loneliness With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me
Heard this song for the first time back in 2009, and until now (2022) it is still one of my favourite HIM songs. Don't think I will stop listening to this masterpiece.
Can we just take a moment of silence for this kind of music ...it will never exist again..Its so sad and heartwrenching ...thinking about it i am sad i never went to their concert but happy that i know their music and memories it brings back are beautiful .Thank you for that
I’m so glad my parents taught me to listen to this music, I will forever love this, no matter what happens, no matter how much I might change, this owns my heart
So crazy that I was also a fan of HIM back in 2006 during my final middle school year and now in 2022 this song has uplifted my spirit as I sing along to it and feel a greater self worth and confidence that I need to keep pushing forward. Thank you HIM ❤️
Ville Valo is working on his new solo project under the name: VV. On March 20, 2020, he published an album (EP), entitled: "Gothica Fennica Vol.1.", on his official website, official CZcams and on HIM's social networks, which they currently maintain under the name "Heartagram" and is have focused on Ville Valo's solo career, ever since HIM announced their disbandment. Three songs make up the album "Gothica Fennica Vol. 1": "Salute The Sanguine", "Run Away From The Sun" and "Saturnine Saturnalia", with which Ville returns to the most powerful activity, in a musical line very close to the one that gave world fame to HIM. In the year 2022, Ville Valo announces the release of his debut solo album entitled "Neon Noir", which will be accompanied by a tour of Europe and the United States in the year 2023. THE NEON NOIR ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE ON JANUARY 13, 2023. Neon Noir - Tracklist 1. Echolocate your love 2. Run away from the sun 3. Neon noir 4. Loveletting 5. The Forever Lost 6. Baby lacrimarium 7. Salute the sanguine 8. In Trenody 9. Heartful of ghosts 10. Saturnine saturnalia 11. Zener solitaire 12. Vertigo eyes NEON NOIR ALBUM OUT JANUARY 13TH 2023 PRE-ORDERS ON THE VILLE VALO OFFICIAL WEBSITE: heartagram.com Ville Valo has composed, produced, engineered, recorded, written, sung and played all the musical instruments on the "Neon Noir" album. The album cover was designed by Ville Valo together with graphic artist Rami Mursula. The black and white photographs in the album are by Joonas Brandt. The mix of the album has been done by Tim Palmer. The album will be released on Ville Valo's own label, Heartagram Records, and will be distributed by Spinefarm/Universal/UMG. NEON NOIR TOUR 2023: The tour starts on the same day as the album release, on January 13, 2023, at the famous Tavastia club in Helsinki, where Ville Valo will give three shows, all tickets for these three shows are sold out. The Finnish musicians that will accompany Ville Valo on this tour are: Risto Rikala (drums), Sampo Sundström (guitar), Juho Vehmanen (bass) and Mikko Virta (guitar).

Neon Noir emerges from the same universe of desolation, pain and extravagance that Ville Valo inhabited when he led HIM, although new nuances are perceived in VV, as is the case with the aged aromas of a good Cabernet. “We were just hoping to temporarily redirect the blood flow of hard rock from the nether regions to the heart,” recalls Ville Valo, the singer, songwriter and frontman of HIM. Judging by the Heartagram's monolithic presence in any description of music this side of the millennium, it's evident that it was very successful. Valo was always inspired by great artists and writers, from Edgar Allan Poe to Charles Bukowski, tinged with a penchant for Black Sabbath-esque scented melancholy. Ville Valo's creativity would go on to produce eight era-defining studio albums, over ten million album sales, seven platinum and eight gold awards, a Grammy nomination, countless magazine covers, critical acclaim and the veneration of an entire generation. Therefore, it was no surprise that the news of a farewell tour in 2017 was met with shock and disbelief by his fans and now like a Phoenix, Ville Valo rises from the ashes of HIM creating the kingdom of VV. Ville Valo: "'Neon noir' is a step-by-step sonic guide to surviving, and maybe even enjoying, the realm of VV with its abundance of things that go off in the night. It's a marathon of mascara tears between Robert Smith and Ozzy, with a shred of hope." "Making this album, and doing it the way I did, gave me an opportunity to reflect, in a way, or have a different perspective of who I am or what I want to do, what I've done, what can be done better, and so on. Which then ended up being basically doing the exact same thing I was doing before." - Ville Valo NEON NOIR ALBUM AVAILABLE JANUARY 13, 2023: czcams.com/video/1yS55oEbgfQ/video.html
Sweet memories. This song takes me back when I was 14/15 years old, 7 years old. I felt so alone at the time but with Him I killed loneliness! :') I will never forget that magic spring and summer. Thank you guys! :')
Incredible. I’ve been in live with HIM and know every song by heart - including this one. But never saw this video! Never during these 13 years since it was released. April 2020, still adore the band ❤️
Showed my son this song the other day and he called it “weird”. I told him some day soon he’ll understand sad boy emo love songs like I did when I was around his age… he’s only 12
perhaps try some upgraded versions of emo ☠️🤘☠️🤘 all VERY emotional songs and genres. HIGHLY recommend. helps take the edge off, if needed. best wishes friend. i hope you like them. ❤️ draconian, sleepwalkers (gothic doom) evanescence, hello ( gothic symphonic) clouds, if these walls could speak (funeral doom) none, damp chill of life (depressive suicidal black metal) saturnus, i long. (funeral doom genre) frowning, murdered by grief (funeral doom) sadness, the rain that falls alone (dsbm)
How could I ever forget this beautiful band. OMG .. hearing this for the first time after 15 or so years..Memories just flooded my entire soul . I got chills with the nostalgia. I saw them May 2006 in STL. They played this song . I fell in love with them spring 2005. All my friends & I loved them sooo much back then. My AIM screen name was Heartagram69H .. LoL... I saw them twice. The Dark Light tour was my 2nd time seeing them in concert . My mom & her boyfriend (at the time) gave me & my friends all a ride to this concert in our Explorer & blasted the CD on the way . We had the best time. My mom saw them with us that time. She loved their cover of Wicked Game. They'll forever have a special place in my heart . Man.. does this make me miss my old friends & my mom so much ... It's like I lost everything from that time but this beautiful album can deliver just about the clearest versions of my Jr.High memories .
Esta banda nunca debió dejar de existir! 2022 - 15 años después la escucho y vuelvo en el tiempo. Los mejores de su género. Además aparece Kat Von D, me encanta esta canción.
Ville Valo presenta una nueva gira por Europa y EEUU que anuncia en su canal oficial de Heartagram: VV NEON NOIR TOUR 2023: czcams.com/video/DH4Id2XPrSE/video.html
HIM, thank you for all these epic songs tou have been putting out over the years, all the masterpieces, YOU have helped som many of us in the most dark and hard times! I wanth to than YOU and the whole crew, YOU guys are from a another planet. Your masterpieces will NEVER be forgotten! 🖤
We all remember where we come from. That's powerful meaning to us as individuals and not something any of our own friends today cannot feel or understand. Music throughout periods of my life always remind me of who I once was as a growing person for what I was learning and experiencing at the time.
I love HIM. As a young child, I was often babysat by my cousins, one of whom was a huge HIM fan. Years passed and I hadn't heard their music. But one day, in some random turn of events that I can't remember, I found their song "Wings of a Butterfly" and I fell in love. That's when I started getting into the familiar sound of love metal again. But now HIM is disbanding... :( I hope I get a chance to see them one last time on their farewell tour.... Please come to Cleveland, Ohio!!
Haven’t listened to HIM since I found out after newly discovering them that they were on their final tour & I missed the ONE show near me that year. Never thought I’d be that heartbroken to meet a man like Ville Valo. But I’m happy to finally pick up their music in 2020 during the time where I have nothing but my thoughts.
Oh my god I can´t believe I was falling in love with this song 11 years ago!! Ville´s voice is very beautiful and those lyrics made me learn english to understand them!! I even tried to learn finnish but the result was a sad story hahahaha
he's been with (and engaged to) a plethora of models. I think part of being a hopeless romantic is that sometimes you fall in love with love itself more so than people...
Since they announce their last tour and they are breaking up I am so sad and jamming all their songs. I loved HIM for the past 10 years. Heartagram tattoo and lyrics on my body. I love you Ville for that beautiful voice
daniela cordova, please marry me and we can listen to him all the time. fuck the marriage, just be mine forever baby :( ill be a flatliner for a heartkiller :(
Daniela Cordova my husband knows how die hard I am for HIM. He surprised me with concert tickets as a Christmas present for me when I was sure we weren't going
HIM was my all time fave band when I was in high school so fast forward now I’m almost 31 and I’m deciding to listen to them again so many great memories and love the fact Kat Von D is in this music video 🙌🥰♥️
Yeah me too always will be my favorite band they helped me thro alot as a young teen growing up im 26 and still go thro alot but in middle school and high school they helped save my life
Going on an old school nostalgia trip in search of all the bands that made me goth. HIM was first on my list. HIM isn't even credited as a Gothic rock band, yet I gained so much insight into the Goth world through them and their fans. Without HIM I would not be goth today. Ok I lie, I would be, but I certainly wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am as a goth if they never existed
We always classed them as a love metal band not gothic, but they do have a gothic side. At the time for us the gothic thing was cradle of filth, 69 eyes, mandragora scream, Wednesday 13, murderdolls and manson and way to many more to name
Knowing now what he wrote it for,makes all the difference and yet no difference because it’s still the one I feel the most. I loved this band and VV Neon Noir.
I once fell deeply in love with the most beautiful girl who showed me this song, thanks to her i can listen to this amazing band.. it's painful and joyful all at once because it reminds me of the intense powerful chemistry we had. A love that is rare... so rare.. and so instense... that years later i still can't forget it. i have tried but it always.. somehow finds me. Only those of you who have had such intense love will understand. It's crazy how powerful a peice like this can do to ones soul
Havent listened to this song for a while, but it still warms my heart to hear it, brings back wonderful memories an thanks for always being there to kill loneliness with me. Still here in 2024 never left 🖤🖤
Haha!!! I used to say that about Daniel Ash from Bauhaus and then on to Love and Rockets. When I saw the Bauhaus Reunion in 1998 I was propped in front of Daniel Ash on ground level looking up to him the whole concert. With my wife watching me from the next level up knowing. Its OK for him to be Gay now.We already had know each other for 15 years. A little Gay is OK!!!!
I went to one of your concerts maybe 10 years ago it was SOOOO GOOD! All of your songs and I really needed this! your music still helps me with heartbreak I am glad I found these videos again after so long ! your lyrics and voice are beautiful!
I'ts almost the last day of august of 2021. This is still one of my favorite HIM ballads, miss them so much as I always going to do it. Ville's voice was a great support during my worst period of depression.
2024 anyone? 😅
Yes I’ve loved this song since I was 12 lol
Just saw VV last night, Powerstation, Auckland. This song was amazing!
Was born in 88. Loved them since I was 18. Thank you James for introducing me to them. We had good times at PK Lake.
Burn bright and shine on everyone 🎩

it's 2023 in the yard, and I still continue to love this group, like 10-15 years ago

Still killing loneliness
I am 26 years old, I missed this group for a long time, but I realized that I start listening to it from morning on repeat until evening. After all, I almost missed the genius of each track of this band.
Pulled me from the water over my head, in ways I never knew I needed to be.
I'm 36 and been listening to you since I was 18. Thank you for giving me the best music of my time. ❤

+sausagefinger12 Nope. Heavy Metal always ;)
No, i mend that my statement was a joke:))))
I like heavy riffs allso: Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Van Halen, Helloween, Accept of course, Black Sabbath etc...But melodies won't do any harm to a song:))))
agreed.. this mash is immortal in my eyes!
this is the same for me used to listen to them all the time now it's mostly death metal. but some how hearing this brings me back
2021 anyone ? 😁🤪
Me!!!!
Ofcc
Yeah

Ayy
The voice, the lyircs, the music - can anything be more perfect in the world of music???????
Simply amazing. Brings me back to who I am, and reality. Thank you for this nostalgia.
The story behind this song is actually about heroin. He had a friend who was using and he asked why he was using and he said that it “kills his loneliness” so he decided to make a song about it.
Thx for the Info 🎅
Brandon Novak. Ville asked him why he does heroine and Novak said: it's the only thing that kills the loneliness.
wasnt the mercy fvcks novak and valo?
It's deeper than just heroin

one of my favorite bands at 12 years old..just turned 30 and still have them on my playlist. with a heartagram a tattoo

Oh god I'm now the same age that Ville was when this was made and I feel so old because I remember being a teenager with a huge crush on him. Now I'm a grown-ass woman with a career in medicine, a husband, a mortgage and a kid, and I still have a crush on Ville Valo.
He just so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Same here 😅
We all still do
Bam is to blame for my unhealthy obsession with HIM and for that I'm eternally grateful
Yes Omg
Right there with you.
Same lol
Lmao Do you remember watching dear uncle Valo serenade one of Bam's friends on the roof of a bar while getting a shady map to Santa's house tattooed?
This song is so amazing, from the vocals, the instruments, the meaning, everything!
This music saved me in 2005 at 10 years old and now its making me find myself again at 27 years old in 2022. Thank you.
Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness
Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness
Killing loneliness
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me
Thx
Love the lyrics perfect for ville vallo

I don’t know man, Andy Black is pretty good looking.
@@sarcasticskully1669 okay... but no not for me. If he would be the only man left on earth I would turn lesbian 😅 no offence
Ehh you forgot about Corey Taylor. He's gorgeous and has an amazing voice
@@07311986 well yeah in my mind he'd never reach ville. but he is pretty much on top of that list though
But he has not got this wonderful Finnish sarcasm and humor. Scandinavian Charme.. Nobody is like Ville
14 years and still i pray for a HD version of this video.
lullaby to my ears for straight 14 years.. i will be loving this band until the end of my life i swear..
With the wonderful song you gave us, we're killing loneliness
Hail the meme lord
Боже! Какой же он красивый! Его голос всегда звучит в моей душе. Спасибо, что Ты есть ,Вилле!
Dieses Lied war mein ganzes Leben lang draußen und ich höre es mir kaum an, was für ein Kunstwerk
Heard this song for the first time back in 2009, and until now (2022) it is still one of my favourite HIM songs. Don't think I will stop listening to this masterpiece.
I'm so happy I saw HIM on their farewell tour a couple of years ago. You guys created art that can never be replicated.
thank you Finland many times...all those great bands youve given us..Suomi Finland Perkele...

Cuando el mundo era dominado por Nokia y HIM estaba en los primeros puestos de las listas de música internacional ❤️ 😎
Buenos tiempos 😎🖤
Ahora por quien está dominado el mundo?

Para mí siempre habrá un compositor eterno en 🇫🇮 :Jean Sibelius, pero también hay más grandes como Raautavaara, etc.
So crazy that I was also a fan of HIM back in 2006 during my final middle school year and now in 2022 this song has uplifted my spirit as I sing along to it and feel a greater self worth and confidence that I need to keep pushing forward. Thank you HIM ❤️

Neon Noir is the debut solo album by VV, Ville Valo the leader of HIM.
Neon Noir emerges from the same universe of desolation, pain and extravagance that Ville Valo inhabited when he led HIM, although new nuances are perceived in VV, as is the case with the aged aromas of a good Cabernet.
“We were just hoping to temporarily redirect the blood flow of hard rock from the nether regions to the heart,” recalls Ville Valo, the singer, songwriter and frontman of HIM. Judging by the Heartagram's monolithic presence in any description of music this side of the millennium, it's evident that it was very successful. Valo was always inspired by great artists and writers, from Edgar Allan Poe to Charles Bukowski, tinged with a penchant for Black Sabbath-esque scented melancholy. Ville Valo's creativity would go on to produce eight era-defining studio albums, over ten million album sales, seven platinum and eight gold awards, a Grammy nomination, countless magazine covers, critical acclaim and the veneration of an entire generation. Therefore, it was no surprise that the news of a farewell tour in 2017 was met with shock and disbelief by his fans and now like a Phoenix, Ville Valo rises from the ashes of HIM creating the kingdom of VV.
Ville Valo: "'Neon noir' is a step-by-step sonic guide to surviving, and maybe even enjoying, the realm of VV with its abundance of things that go off in the night. It's a marathon of mascara tears between Robert Smith and Ozzy, with a shred of hope."
"Making this album, and doing it the way I did, gave me an opportunity to reflect, in a way, or have a different perspective of who I am or what I want to do, what I've done, what can be done better, and so on. Which then ended up being basically doing the exact same thing I was doing before." - Ville Valo

I am currently 57 years old and will love this band always!!
Sweet memories. This song takes me back when I was 14/15 years old, 7 years old. I felt so alone at the time but with Him I killed loneliness! :') I will never forget that magic spring and summer. Thank you guys! :')
I became a HIM fan when I was 14/15 years old. I'm 25 now and HIM is still my favorite ever! I'm getting a Heartagram tattoo this weekend !
I know people with heartagram tattoos. Did u get it? Did u get a heartagram on your lower back?
This song came out when I graduated high school and now I'm in my mid 30s with kids, but the shit stills HITS. A classic, an anthem
Class of 06 - same
Such a beautiful beautiful man. Plus that voice. So many years and I still love him and H.I.M.
Incredible. I’ve been in live with HIM and know every song by heart - including this one. But never saw this video! Never during these 13 years since it was released. April 2020, still adore the band ❤️
I saw it many times but I noticed the cameo of Kat von D only today
At 21 I'm listening many of their songs for the first time and I can say I feel every word...
Same boat. Except im 20 haha. My boyfriend just recently introduced me to HIM and I'm already obsessed
OMG i used live HIM when i has 16 years old now I’m 32 years and i still love HIM songs. 😍
Showed my son this song the other day and he called it “weird”. I told him some day soon he’ll understand sad boy emo love songs like I did when I was around his age… he’s only 12
perhaps try some upgraded versions of emo ☠️🤘☠️🤘 all VERY emotional songs and genres. HIGHLY recommend. helps take the edge off, if needed. best wishes friend. i hope you like them. ❤️
draconian, sleepwalkers (gothic doom)
evanescence, hello ( gothic symphonic)
clouds, if these walls could speak (funeral doom)
none, damp chill of life (depressive suicidal black metal)
saturnus, i long. (funeral doom genre)
frowning, murdered by grief (funeral doom)
sadness, the rain that falls alone (dsbm)
How could I ever forget this beautiful band. OMG .. hearing this for the first time after 15 or so years..Memories just flooded my entire soul . I got chills with the nostalgia. I saw them May 2006 in STL. They played this song . I fell in love with them spring 2005. All my friends & I loved them sooo much back then. My AIM screen name was Heartagram69H .. LoL...
I saw them twice. The Dark Light tour was my 2nd time seeing them in concert . My mom & her boyfriend (at the time) gave me & my friends all a ride to this concert in our Explorer & blasted the CD on the way . We had the best time. My mom saw them with us that time. She loved their cover of Wicked Game. They'll forever have a special place in my heart . Man.. does this make me miss my old friends & my mom so much ... It's like I lost everything from that time but this beautiful album can deliver just about the clearest versions of my Jr.High memories .
Esta banda nunca debió dejar de existir! 2022 - 15 años después la escucho y vuelvo en el tiempo. Los mejores de su género. Además aparece Kat Von D, me encanta esta canción.
Así es! ojalá se vuelvan a juntar algún día
Ville Valo presenta una nueva gira por Europa y EEUU que anuncia en su canal oficial de Heartagram:

lovvveee ittttt!
HIM, thank you for all these epic songs tou have been putting out over the years, all the masterpieces, YOU have helped som many of us in the most dark and hard times! I wanth to than YOU and the whole crew, YOU guys are from a another planet. Your masterpieces will NEVER be forgotten! 🖤
OMG so much memories..ahh time goes by so fast...
You aren't kidding.
We all remember where we come from. That's powerful meaning to us as individuals and not something any of our own friends today cannot feel or understand. Music throughout periods of my life always remind me of who I once was as a growing person for what I was learning and experiencing at the time.
KimBerly W
I know ! But now, the end has come... They're going on one last tour and saying goodbye for ever... Fucking hell !
Please, Firmen/sign #HIMFarewellTourLatinAmerica www.change.org/p/him-him-farewell-tour-in-latin-america
Ugh, this still remains my favorite song of theirs. So freaking good
My boyfriend and I love HIM I’m new to this group but I’m glad he introduced me to HIM I’m hooked 😊
I love HIM. As a young child, I was often babysat by my cousins, one of whom was a huge HIM fan. Years passed and I hadn't heard their music. But one day, in some random turn of events that I can't remember, I found their song "Wings of a Butterfly" and I fell in love. That's when I started getting into the familiar sound of love metal again. But now HIM is disbanding... :( I hope I get a chance to see them one last time on their farewell tour.... Please come to Cleveland, Ohio!!
Haven’t listened to HIM since I found out after newly discovering them that they were on their final tour & I missed the ONE show near me that year. Never thought I’d be that heartbroken to meet a man like Ville Valo. But I’m happy to finally pick up their music in 2020 during the time where I have nothing but my thoughts.
after so many years this song is still a legend
What a beautiful guy!🤘🏻❣️
Oh my god I can´t believe I was falling in love with this song 11 years ago!! Ville´s voice is very beautiful and those lyrics made me learn english to understand them!! I even tried to learn finnish but the result was a sad story hahahaha
Considering how much of a hopeless romantic Ville is, I'm surprised he doesn't have a wife or girlfriend.
He's a solitary man
I think the amount of poontang he gets is over 9000
Madison Austin I'll be his girlfriend :3
im guessing he has high standards and is very private at the same time so its hard for him to find someone genuine.
he's been with (and engaged to) a plethora of models. I think part of being a hopeless romantic is that sometimes you fall in love with love itself more so than people...
So iconic! Kat Von D, The flip phone, Ville .. It's 2022 and I'm still obsessed with this video
Best band ever 😍♥️ kiss from Italy
I didn't know this song. Discovered it today and I loved it!!! Can't stop listening
Anyone in october 2019??😭❤️
Edit: OMG guys!! Tysm for 195 likes! I m so happy that some of you still listen to HIM💖😢💖
Me xD
Yeeeesss!!
ME
yup
Someday I'll get the same tattoo as Ville in this video
Quien en el 2024
Yo
One of favourite band in 2000. After so many years still remember. Still in my mind. Back to the best times...
Since they announce their last tour and they are breaking up I am so sad and jamming all their songs. I loved HIM for the past 10 years. Heartagram tattoo and lyrics on my body. I love you Ville for that beautiful voice
daniela cordova, please marry me and we can listen to him all the time. fuck the marriage, just be mine forever baby :( ill be a flatliner for a heartkiller :(
Daniela Cordova my husband knows how die hard I am for HIM. He surprised me with concert tickets as a Christmas present for me when I was sure we weren't going
Stfu
HIM was my all time fave band when I was in high school so fast forward now I’m almost 31 and I’m deciding to listen to them again so many great memories and love the fact Kat Von D is in this music video 🙌🥰♥️
Yeah me too always will be my favorite band they helped me thro alot as a young teen growing up im 26 and still go thro alot but in middle school and high school they helped save my life
I love the fact that she'll vaccinate her cat and not her kid
Facts
Glad I discovered this masterpiece right here 🖤
2024 and for ever listen to this masterpiece ✨🤘🏻anyone agree
💕🎶 18 years with my heartagram tattoos and 12 years with my "killing loneliness" tattoo and I still love them as much as I did back then.
this has to be one of my most favourite HIM songs
well its one of my favorite tool. so send me your number and we can discuss this further
though my tastes in music may change from time to time, HIM are and always will be the best and very, very dear to me
Great video, great song, deserves a HD version!
This song never gets old . Awesome as always
Going on an old school nostalgia trip in search of all the bands that made me goth. HIM was first on my list. HIM isn't even credited as a Gothic rock band, yet I gained so much insight into the Goth world through them and their fans. Without HIM I would not be goth today. Ok I lie, I would be, but I certainly wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am as a goth if they never existed
+daman o'loughlin dont even troll like that when you are subbed to anime stuff and like league of legends
I like your profile pic ;)
coal chamber turned me goth and korn.
We always classed them as a love metal band not gothic, but they do have a gothic side. At the time for us the gothic thing was cradle of filth, 69 eyes, mandragora scream, Wednesday 13, murderdolls and manson and way to many more to name
Nyx Kere to/ die/ for
Knowing now what he wrote it for,makes all the difference and yet no difference because it’s still the one I feel the most. I loved this band and VV Neon Noir.
2024! Still a banger 🤘🏽
I once fell deeply in love with the most beautiful girl who showed me this song, thanks to her i can listen to this amazing band.. it's painful and joyful all at once because it reminds me of the intense powerful chemistry we had. A love that is rare... so rare.. and so instense... that years later i still can't forget it. i have tried but it always.. somehow finds me. Only those of you who have had such intense love will understand. It's crazy how powerful a peice like this can do to ones soul
Havent listened to this song for a while, but it still warms my heart to hear it, brings back wonderful memories an thanks for always being there to kill loneliness with me. Still here in 2024 never left 🖤🖤
2023 anyone else still killing loneliness
VV back in 2023 I'm so happy!!! Denver in April
Mah gods! I never get tired of Valo's voice! Come sing me to sleep Ville!
Ville is the only dude in the world that makes me gay
Lmao
phychonaut ready for launch! Same bro
He looks like a young ozzy
Haha!!! I used to say that about Daniel Ash from Bauhaus and then on to Love and Rockets. When I saw the Bauhaus Reunion in 1998 I was propped in front of Daniel Ash on ground level looking up to him the whole concert. With my wife watching me from the next level up knowing. Its OK for him to be Gay now.We already had know each other for 15 years. A little Gay is OK!!!!
He was drinking a lot in this period. In late 2007, two years later, seems like Johnny Depp... In november was in great form (orpheum Theater dvd)
2024 I will never get tired of this song
Him will always have a very special place in my non-existent heart. ♡
This comment 💜
I went to one of your concerts maybe 10 years ago it was SOOOO GOOD! All of your songs and I really needed this! your music still helps me with heartbreak I am glad I found these videos again after so long ! your lyrics and voice are beautiful!
2023 hell yeah
I'ts almost the last day of august of 2021. This is still one of my favorite HIM ballads, miss them so much as I always going to do it. Ville's voice was a great support during my worst period of depression.
😘
When i was high school i listened this song, you remembered me my youth, i wished you had a concert Turkey at that times 😢
I love his voice, is very beautiful , his voice is a gift of sky. ❤❤
he is so beautiful!
