Sonata Arctica - In my eyes you're a giant (Bonus track)

[@cyberlumber]

One of the best of this band IMHO... I still don't understand why the f*ck isn't in Spotify.

[@normanmendoza374]

I think the same

[@Wolfeye204]

I think the words "Bonus Track" means "One of the best songs on the album". I've seen bands do the bonus tracks alot and usually they are really good songs.

[@leonelbruzzese1584]

People start to appreciate the days of grays 12 years later

[@BognorRegus]

Better late than never lol, in my eyes it's one of their best albums🤘

[@S8n_501]

The Days of Grays

[@alevegadiaz8605]

2:59 love that heavy and irregular breakdown riff

[@alirezamashayekh9990]

some of the best songs of SA are the bonus tracks that can't be found anywhere, like this one and wrecking the sphere

[@ROONTANG]

@personelcomputer I love old Sonata Arctica and new Sonata Arctica. Tony writes and composes all of the music for the band, and he says he doesn't enjoy writing fast music anymore. I think the great thing about SA is that their music is crafted with love, and I wouldn't want to see them forcing themselves to play a style they don't enjoy anymore. My favourites are: Last Drop Falls, The Dead Skin, Juliet, Unopened, Victoria's Secret, Respect The Wilderness & White Peal Black Oceans. :-)

[@Spiray]

Aah, I had NO IDEA there were bonus tracks!! Stupid me. These are great, can't wait to see them live in October, been waiting for years. Whee!

[@nmccarrick]

@proprotagonist then after they clicked the dislike, there computers were destroyed by the sheer amazingness of Sonata Artica

[@DrumminDanthology24]

Sonata Arctica, Dream Evil, Storm Warriror, Blinded Guardian and Dragon Force all amazing Power metal bands!

[@Alagueesia]

I listen to this song like 20 times in a day xD

[@mawa1073]

awesome :)

[@alejandroparada3918]

I'm doing this already haha

[@rencarb3045]

He's storytelling is truly mystical and beautiful and eerie even at times perfect combinations of darkness

[@jonatasilva2804]

Tbm, o refrão gruda na cabeça, é viciante essa música

[@r5LgxTbQ]

I had previously posted this track and it was taken down by Nuclear Blast. I hope yours stays up because it's a really great song and it's unfortunate that those outside the US and Japan can't hear it without importing another CD.

[@ROONTANG]

Yeah, that's correct. The bonus songs are on Japanese manufactured CD's to stop people buying them from overseas for cheaper.

[@wolfcorpse791]

Lyrics In my eyes you´re a giant, The keeper of all the keys, Different but compliant A God for someone like me Learned to read what you´re thinking... suffering every moment left alone... Tamed the beast deep within me... Sleep in peace friend, cause I am guarding... When I´m not howling at the bright new moon The burning flame within, my own kin, and every night I hear something out there calling me Reminding me, friend, to know, that I´m not your child... I follow when you lead, and do what you command, but there is something that is out of my hand It´s my own nature, appetite, I am a creature of the night I am howling at the bright new moon... Bright new moon, brings the light in my life One more day and you must let me go... Here I am howling at the bright new moon The burning flame within, my own kin, and every night I heard something out here calling me Reminding me, friend, to know, I´m not your child... I am howling out there at the bright new burning flame, within my heart every night I hear something out there, telling me I'm not your child

[@Ganamaha1]

Never heard this song b4, and ive been a sonata fan for years

[@lauraisacommenter]

I love the guitar riffs in this one. I can't believe I haven't heard these two bonuses before now!

[@Learn4Live]

Essa canção é uma obra de arte!

[@darksteelfuzzy]

wow these 2 bonus tracks really fill out what everyone seemed to be missing since unia (well apart from the harvest). I don't say the albums were bad, au contraire, they are really awesomely brilliant. However it is nice to hear SA make a song like these 2 every now and then again. I missed this sound :)

[@daantjeme]

thanks for uploading this!!!!

[@imcominforyou]

Japan always gets the best tracks!

[@ddazuulada]

There are quite a few songs from Sonata that I don't have. DAMN.

[@capitanspeirs7408]

masterpiece

[@jauhoz]

I wish SA will keep doing music like this in future too. This is just amazing.

[@vhaleryanadamant1975]

Too late for that man, they became a bunch of.... pussies :/ sorry to say that, used to love them but their style now is almost for kids.

[@jonatasilva2804]

Infelizmente eles não fizeram música nessa pegada. Mais seria top um álbum inteiro no estilo dessa música, com um som pesado e obscuro e o refrão melódico.

[@yamiimax]

really hilarious pic of tony and the song is cool

[@ANTTU24]

@personelcomputer I've heard that the bonus songs exist because CDs are really expensive in Japan, so they need the 2-3 extra songs as a temptation to buy the CD! :D And the songs are usually those which don't fit to the original songlist for some reason.

[@Heavenly-j2l]

2019

[@TheMary1206]

concert tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) amazing song

[@ROONTANG]

Why is this only a bonus track? I hadn't even heard it until today and TDOG is one of my all-time favourite albums! This song is definitely good enough to be a regular track on the album. Maybe the verses aren't so nice, but the chorus and intro are so damn catchy!

[@thelonespecter]

2023 and I'm just discovering this song

[@personelcomputer]

@HammerFall1996 I'm French and my favorite songs are San Sebastian, The Cage, Destruction Preventer an My Selene cause I love awesome solos like only good Power Metal bands can do, and actually, I'm very sad to miss these great songs after owning this album...

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

@MetalMiklos Tony writes, with a few exeptions, all of their lyrics and songs. He's just trying to change their sound so all their albums dont sound the same. Try to keep an open mind about it

[@sbibetti]

spettacolari!!!!

[@ANTTU24]

@Wolfeye204 well some bands do that. usually they put covers, some different songs and worse songs to bonus tracks. nothing more is henkka's and that's why it's a bonus track And this one is fucking awesome.. tony's song. bonus songs are a way to get more money from japan u know..

[@Winwirzar]

All bonus tracks are usually on the Japanese Versions. You can easily import them, but they're quite expensive.

[@darkwanderer3310]

Fuck yeah, this, Flag in the Ground, and Deathaura my favorite from this album

[@0Carkki0]

I'm not a human... O.o Awesome! XD Love SA!!

[@Melkz]

What the hell trasger? Dude this song rocks! \m/ Long Live Sonata!

[@santothegreat111]

I don't know why.. but when he says "sleep in peace friend, 'cause I am guarding" my eyes become wet

[@nachofast6144]

The Days of Grays is the best Sonata album, hands down. Even the bonus songs are amazing

[@leonelbruzzese1584]

I agree

[@vampire789nem]

Really, when I listen to another world!

[@KauniitaUnia10]

Oh this song is amazing, but it's a bonus...

[@ANTTU24]

@MetalMiklos jani wrote only "my selene" for sonata, but he wrote everything for cain's offering band

[@mtexterable]

wow i like very sonata arctica

[@Wolmine]

@antho545 Yes they are and they come from Finland.

[@ANTTU24]

@fistsoffire88 TRUE. North America got In my eyes you're a giant. It's the ebst bonus track

[@trbmiaumiau]

i miss the.. surprise thing of sonata, the solos and everything...

[@TheMrBram]

i agree, it's genious :D

[@RaiderNewman]

To Chivalry669: I love this song too but Juliet is a great song. It will be my favorite but this is amazing too

[@janneykissylove]

Great song ^_^

[@Xakuta69]

It's definitely getting up there for me. I've already cycled through absolutely loving each bonus track. However, 'the last amazing grays', 'the dead skin', and 'juliet' still give this a good run for top song.

[@miqvPL]

It's not fair that America and Japan got extremely awesome singles and European was only awesome D:

[@ANTTU24]

@mightyUFO in cain's offering's album letter thingy it says "all music and lyrics written by jani liimatainen" ... but yeah ofc they all had their ideas

[@DrumminDanthology24]

@Lanceleoghauni Lol yeah, Mirror Mirror is amazing by them

[@ANTTU24]

@wtfimalive if i understood that right... you are right :D

[@LueMeldane]

Is he talking about an animal? Most likely a dog or a wolf, and the giant is the man who it lives with or something like that. He talks about the way the animals seems to read our minds and obey, like they respect something about us. But then he say that the animal is not a child and talk about their instincts and nature, wich can't be tamed by the humans. The howling part kind of give it away, i guess... (sorry about any spelling mistakes, I'm brazilian and not that good with english xD)

[@dirkjakobmetal1]

in my eyes sonata arctica is the giant...

[@Lanceleoghauni]

@DrumminDanthology24 I think What you're looking for is "Blind Guardian"

[@Vggamegod]

not bad, better than a lot of stuff on the new album

[@personelcomputer]

@ROONTANG I didn't say I do not like new SA. I love the way Tony Kakko writes the songs, and if they change their style, there's no matter, I know with Tony as composer, the songs will be good ^^ I'm just sad to see that when I buy an album, I don't have all the songs Tony wrote for it. And actually, I don't understand why... Does it cost more to put three more songs on an album ?

[@predatorx6587]

Why this Song a Bonus?this Song must of the full Album 🤘

[@proprotagonist]

3 people had an aneurysm because the music was, just too incredible. And as their face hit the keyboard, it accidentally knocked over their glass of coke, which clicked on the dislike button, just moments before they meant to click the like button. Seems unlikely, but hey, i don't make the rules.

[@warlord070]

@ANTTU24 In My Eyes You're a Giant and In The Dark are the best

[@Chivalry669]

any1 else think this is the best song of the album ???

[@Spiray]

@whyallaguru I'm in Mexico City; I don't know about Argentina, but it seems likely if they're doing a tour of the area (:

[@TamrikoRazmadze]

✨️✨️✨️❤

[@ThomasFarny]

Why Bonus?This Song is so good 😀🤘

[@lucifer1330]

es interesante como en un inicio puedes ser enorme y con tus errores ir haciendote pequeñito pequeñito....tanto q ahora hasta dificil se me hace verte....

[@PatriciaFer85]

My giant of Lannister.

[@Dare2bDumb]

@efndmetal Dude, No Dream. is like the one of the best songs on this album.

[@Tewwu]

I dont really like the idea that some songs are on not the CDs on europe. Ive been trying to find these songs for years. I could just simply download them but i dont want to. Been fan of the band for many years and i really really want the albums with these songs...

[@mightyUFO]

@ANTTU24 He did not write it all in cain's offering, he Co-wrote with Kotipelto and everybody in the band threw in ideas.

[@Valokiloren]

Truly, the Finnish still are Norse Gods compared to us mere mortals.

[@efndmetal]

it's a shame that the bonus tracks are soooo much better than the album itself....if only they had included nothing more and this one instead of garbage like zeroes or no dream can heal..... what could have been....

[@ThomasFarny]

Why Bonus?The Song ist so good 😀🤘

[@BkkCheesepie]

@YourDarkPassion platinum ;D

[@nikikhhhe]

@Chivalry669 I think No dream can heal a broken heart :D But this is my 2nd favourite :)

[@whyallaguru]

@Spiray Where are you seeing them? They are in Argentina in October am I right?

[@personelcomputer]

@ANTTU24 OK, I can understand this (but, even if their albums were more expensive, I would buy them anyway ^^ ).

[@metvelle]

who didn't know that apocalyptica had cameos on this song.. if you look closely at the lyric book they thank the individual people but dont call them apocalyptica

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

@Kzar5678 This vagiant found the love of his life, because there are two of them now.

[@Takashi1NY]

2:47 is cool stuff, but mostly all of it :D

[@SuperSilverSaint]

Muito boa :DD

[@Lammfloisch]

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL? WHY DIDN'T I KNEW THIS SONG YET????!!! WHAT DID GO WRONG WITH ME?! SHIT!

[@ANTTU24]

@mfbabin in the dark is eu.. check sonataarctica (dot) info

[@Silverhawk1990]

este fue el ultimo buen album de sonata u.u

[@papellirical]

el ultimo bueno fue el unia :) desde que jani salio no volvió a ser lo mismo, pero me gusta el estilo de elias.

[@javiergildeavila4449]

Anonimo parra. Pues yo discrepo xD me gusto mucho mas este que Unia, es cierto que bajan un poco del carro del power metal , pero a nivel de composicion esto es impagable.

[@papellirical]

tienes razón me puse a escuchar mas el disco de elias y tiene una mejor estructura, pero siempre diré que como jani jamas va a componer.

[@Silverhawk1990]

+Anonimo Parra elias es bueno pero en su cuento, jani, es jani donde lo pongan, ahora en cains offering la rompe

"Éste fue el último álbum de Sonata que me gustó".*

[@berts1405]

@lokosdaguitarra i think as if the world wasnt ending

[@ZalriusLiss2009]

@antho545 They are a kin to gods.

[@qwertcvbnmm]

@ANTTU24 agreed.

[@sopherianaraman2489]

yeah, but dont forget that Kamelot had to come to the European market, and joined to the Sasha Paeth's family, so Kamelot is more that an european band that american

[@ANTTU24]

@mfbabin nice but this isn't european bonus

[@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039]

does anyone else hear that weird sound at the end? just me?...kinda like a moan

[@HAWXLEADER]

yep. just a weird anime sound...

[@Elementrius]

2:39 - 3:00

[@pieman173]

@narutomanukun trying getting top comment with you own words and thoughts not with a copy and paste comment everyone does

[@feastingthebeastamon]

is magic :X:X:X:X:X:X

[@JosePablo24]

@Littlenumber9 i envy youuu

[@chloebutterfield9263]

If you've ever visited America, you'd know that compared to us, the Finns could just as well be. CX

[@FurbyParade226]

They look like vampires in that first picture lmao

[@antho545]

@Wolmine. I know that.

[@kerkalex]

Was... was that a moan at the very end?

[@SirTasty]

The days of grays is the last acceptable album of Sonata Arctica and from there they went downhill

[@BulbaSaruman]

Nad i thought i have heard all of the songs from them...
