SONATA ARCTICA Cover - "San Sebastian"

[@ratillecebrasquedubitantiu4451]

This man's voice is exceptional

[@claudeb3673]

Exceptional cover by a Sonata Arctica fan from the silence album way back. The lyrics are so powerful, dont waste your youth searching perfection, enjoy life and the present, the sun will shine on you

[@avforizs]

I just can not get enough of this song. I probably listened to this song dozens of times. I also love the message it conveys. 😊 Very meaningful song. Once someone finds that "perfect" person. Your angel, your true love. Make sure you treat them well and never let them go! Another message I got from the lyrics: Never wait to express feelings! One should always express their emotions no matter how foolish or impossible it may seem. You never know. The other person may feel the exact same way! It would be a shame that an amazing love would go to waste because of a lack of communication and fear. Beautiful song 🥰

[@IHatePortals]

Back in the days Sonata Arctica was top 3 power metal band. This old fan boy thanks.

[@fdgg6187]

Stratovarius is the number 1

[@carina5846]

@Shawn Li hammerfall is the number 1... ok first place is shared with blind guardian and avantasia

[@jonklebes305]

Rhapsody theree. Fantasy theme here

[@dropdead___]

Old fan boy here, too! But all your mentions, dudes, are our top!!

[@nightwatching7056]

Rhapsody (of Fire), Twilightning, Dragonforce, Edguy / Avantasia, Labirinth, Freedom Call and several other pretty good bands were top in that period... Great times

my heart skipped a beat when I seen the notification, I adore this band and you’ve sung the song perfectly. hope you cover more of Sonata Arctica, my neighbours will listen to this with me

So glad to see your followers increasing. I first found your music at 967K followers and see you deserve all the recognition that you are currently getting. 986K and all because of your awe inspiring talent. Well done.

[@sylviegrondin5288]

You’re really into this song, I love your expressions but most importantly your powerful voice,just love you Dan ❤

[@naomimcleod2727]

Lovely rendition of this song! I'm worried after listening to a podcast that you made in which you said that you are worried about your vocals. My daughter showed me a video of a retired singer where he tried to sing a former hitsong, when he was still young like you, it seems that he was out of breath and his vocals was very poor😢. Look after yourself please? You are, in my books the very best singer!! You are blessed and talented , a perfectionist in everything you do! Thanx for all your hard work, it's a blast listening to all your covers!!😊❤ Grandma 🇿🇦

[@kathleenguth2193]

Dan is very careful with is voice. No smoking, drinking and no sugar. He does vocal exercises before and 24 hrs before no talking. Glad you enjoyed. Welcome to the Vascnation!

[@naomimcleod2727]

@@kathleenguth2193 Hi Kathleen, I subscribed to Dan and he sent me a pdf on how to train your voice and all the NOT to do's, so, thank you too, I'm not worried anymore. Just love him as if he was my son. Would be very proud!! Luv Vascnation!🇿🇦🤗🙃

[@Sevrion]

I am in TEARS 😍 This song brings back so many memories! This band was my first taste of European metal. Opened me up to the whole world that is Power/Symphonic/Progressive Metal. Thank you for doing Tony Kakko some justice! I feel like he and his band have lost a lot of their spark!

great voice !! I feel your soul

[@powerwavz]

Great to hear a Sonata Arctica cover! They tend to get overlooked in the Power Metal community so often!

I agree 100%. Tony's lyrics are pure poetry and the emotions he and the band put into their music. Damn. 🤘🤘

@@thiagonunes6554 cara gosto n se discute, eu entendi oq o Ramon quis dizer, na minha opinião a época de ouro do sonata foi ate o terceiro álbum, dps n sei oq aconteceu q foi mudando a receita...

[@claudiopj]

eu acho que o Sonata morreu a partir do UNIA... depois disso virou uma banda lixo com musicas ridiculas sem alma alguma... saindo o guitarrista já era a banda... agora ela se tornou insuportável de ouvir.. se eu fosse da banda fugiria de vergonha, se eu pudesse falar com o vocalista iria falar pra ele acordar pra vida e mudar o nome da banda pra não cagar mais ainda ou sair da banda pq ele tornou ela um lixo

[@lucasmonteiro600]

@@claudiopj concordo. Depois do Unia a banda não foi a mesma.

[@yklii209]

Honestly Dan, Sonata Arctica is one of my favourite power metal band and San Sebastian is for sure my favorite song of all time. I couldn't imagine someday someone will make a cover of this song that i will enjoy. Watching this video i was singing, headbanging and saying to myself "i know this guy is good but this cover is a proof he's the best singer for power metal cover" Goosebump and smile after i wish you all the best and keep your awesome work going on !

[@DNagildo]

LETRA I could see my life, short film passing my eyes I tried to look away from her, as always I just tried Sweetness in her eyes, gone through one million miles How could I turn my back on her, the sweetest thing alive? I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today She is all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me Look what I have done to my San Sebastian I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at the sun Back in time with a dream of mine I try to find my way back to life Burning fever, night time screamer, waiting time when I'd come alive Sun of San Sebastian, oh why I cannot stay She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me Every single day, for the rest of my way I live without my love, my God, I have to stay in shade When I'm old and gray, i remember that day When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away! I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive Whoa-oo-oo Was it good I got to know her well, although it made me see That the sun of San Sebastian is way too hot for me! Whoa-oo-oo Now i live my life in shades and i am married to the moon And the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new

[@radekw4751]

I am not sure if everyone can understand how CRAZY DIFFICULT this song is. You almost have literally no time at all to breathe. Take a look at the end of verse and start of bridge. You end this verse climbing above high C singing group of long high notes (how could I turn my back on her the sweetest thing alive ) and then you have only time for super short breath..maybe half of a second..and bridge (I was eager) that still lies above passaggio. Can anyone find Tony Kakko singing this in original key, live, in one take without editing?. I've never seen this. You are ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN THE WORLD Dan. I'am not kidding. Even if you used few takes - you are super awesome. Man - this song is difficult.

[@sebarhap]

This song is crazy difficult. It could be easily one of the hardest songs to sing in rock and metal. It has so many sustained notes and phrases, no time to breath, crazy range. If you don't have crazy good technique, singing that "i was eager" part after the highs will get you KO, with burning sensation on your throat and unable to sing above the pasaggio for much longer hahah and if you keep at it by sheer will power you wont even be able to modulate later in the song, lol.

I love this kind of molody. And the harmonies... very "colourful". And with your interpretation it all has a very powerful shine. Beautiful.

God, I want to sleep, I have to go to work, let me go, holy angel, I cannot and do not want to stop discovering you... why in happened NOW, I JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO WITCHER METAL VERSION about 12:30 am, and now its almost morning... I’ll write adequate comments when I digest it all and calm down my emotions and will put myself together. But now you are just A-FUCKING-FREAKING-UNBELIEVABLE-TRULY-DEADLY-INCREDIBLE-MAZING!! Not only voice and singing, I can’t take my eyes off the screen, your glances, gestures, smile, facial expression... You are simply incredible in everything, complete set, once human should listen and see you, and that's all, that one is hopeless. Flawless quintessence of human as it should be. Gosh, man, be so fucking happy, wish you all the best in your life!!

[@schuhey7021]

Wow your enunciation is a lot better than Tony's was when they recorded Silence, I really admire that, Tony was insane on those early albums in terms of singing skill but it can be kind of hard to understand the lyrics some times, you nail it though!

[@gpelow]

Pffffff... Wow!!... You are OSOM... I traveled through the time!!!... Between 2006 - 2009.. . When Sonata and the power metal was my life!!!!... And i tried to do the Jani's solos!!!... Made me younger again man!!!... Thanks!!!
