Soen - Fortune (Official Performance Video)

"FORTUNE" is taken from a very special concert film, ATLANTIS, which features thirteen of SOEN’s most popular compositions reinterpreted with live orchestral accompaniment and the fantastic rendition of Slipknot's "Snuff". The full concert is set for release on November 18 2022 via Silver Lining Music. Pre-order now: lnk.to/SoenATL...
"𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀.

The perfect way for Soen to celebrate a decade together; ATLANTIS was created within the mystic and magical confines of Atlantis Grammofon Studio in Stockholm, Sweden, which has seen a wide range of international artists record, from Quincy Jones to Lenny Kravitz to Green Day. Formerly a movie house in 1941, it went on to become Metronome Studio (during which time ABBA was born) before becoming Atlantis Grammofon in 1983.
Filmed and recorded on December 10th 2021, Martin Lopez (drums & percussion), Joel Ekelöf (lead vocals), Lars Enok Åhlund (guitars & piano), Cody Lee Ford (lead guitar) and Oleksii “Zlatoyar” Kobel (bass) worked together with an 8-piece orchestra to reinterpret and rediscover fresh energy and elements in classic Soen songs, such as “Antagonist”, “Monarch”, “Jinn” and “Lucidity”, as well as introducing a stunning interpretation of Slipknot’s deeply dark meditation on darkness rejecting love, “Snuff”. The end result of this 80 minutes performance is some remarkable new aural refractions of Soen’s greatest material for fans to absorb and enjoy. As has always been the way with Soen: the deepest dives yield the greatest treasures.
Hot on the heels of their recently mostly sold-out shows in Europe and UK, the relentless metal quintet are now due to embark on a North American tour.

“‘ATLANTIS’ undeniably proves that SOEN's music can be as breathtaking, poignant and ultimately beautiful in an acoustic live setting as it is imposing, crunching and thunderous in their studio releases.

And one day you will understand, that your happiness depends on you. God knows how many times has this lyric spoken to me. Thank you Soen for creating such beautiful uplifting music

[@Kranon]

There's always, ALWAYS that one Song from that one Band doing That to Someone. It's kinda fun but not any less impressive. Every Musical Video I've seen, every comment section I've read, every reply I've read, a similar comment is always there. I guess that's the true power of music.

[@berenicetapia8978]

A song with a great message, for me a hymn. I am a psychotherapist and accompanying people in their personal growth processes is highly gratifying as I realize that the human being harbors a limiting, negative force, however, there is also a positive force that drives improvement as a person, the point is to provide basic and necessary conditions such as empathic understanding, acceptance and unconditional appreciation for that co-creative force to emerge. Thank you Soen for that. Mexico awaits you with open arms.

[@birchward]

A very intresting comment ! for sure !

[@matthewsammut2881]

Someone taught me early on in life that no matter what life throws at you your attitude is half the battle. and this song perfectly encapsulates that. A beautiful self healing anthem

Time, it's unveiling every end What we couldn't comprehend is now avowed Weak is the soul of every man And the wicked ones decide the fate of all And one day I know you'll understand That your happiness depends on you Even after all the battles lost We still stand here believing Doesn't matter if they know our name When in darkness we will make it through To be broken doesn't mean to fall There's nothing to fear I'll keep your path clear As long as we walk We'll find what is real And I will become Your shield and your wall Unbreakable stone Just keep yourself near Cold is the hand that rules the game And the pieces of the play have no control Doomed is the heart of every man That is taking for himself what is for all And one day I know you'll understand That your happiness depends on you Even after all the fights you've lost You still stand here believing Doesn't matter if they know your name When in darkness you will make it through To be broken doesn't mean to fall There's nothing to fear I'll keep your path clear As long as we walk We'll find what is real And I will become Your shield and your wall Unbreakable stone Just keep yourself near

This beautiful song was performed live in Istanbul on September 3, 2023, during Soen's 3rd concert in Istanbul. Before the concert, I had told Cody and Lars how much I loved Fortune. I wasn't expecting it to be in the setlist, I couldn't believe it when I heard it live. You can't imagine what it made me feel. Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for your beautiful music.

It's been almost two months since the revolution started in Iran. In memory of the bloody November 2019, today is the first day of the three days of the Nationwide Strike, the biggest strike in Iran. At the moment, the very fucking now, people are fighting on the streets with empty hands, and suddenly, you see Soen released FORTUNE's official performance on this day. Heartwarming. Once again, wish to see you guys soon here, in free Iran. Love you.
