Sonata Arctica Juliet + Lyrics

[@alydama]

This is a masterpiece of songwriting. Defenitely one of Sonata's best songs ever.

[@DanWuensch]

i just saw Sonata in a small venue, had barely listened to them previous... definitely a great group, great people, very talented and still humble. rock on!

[@phantasmic6997]

There are four songs about "Caleb": The End of this Chapter, Don't Say a Word, Caleb, and Juliet. They are all about the same person, the stalker we first meet in The End of this Chapter. When we first meet him, he is stalking this "Juliet." Then in Don't Say a Word, he tries to kill her. In Caleb, we went back to find out how he became this person. Now, in Juliet, this character apparently dies. Tony explained it somewhere.

[@atimidbirb]

.... All things considered, poor Caleb had a really shitty life

[@DADDYWRST]

Am I the only one who thinks the part in 4:16-4:22 is simply the best part in any of Sonata Arctica's songs? "You have played me for a fool, for all this time". I have no idea why. I've listened this song like 2000 times and it still gets me every single time. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel even slightly the same?

[@kristjanvenno]

+Sucha Sums up a lot of their songs ;)

[@alber171195]

+Sucha I think that is because all of us had a love that played with us, so there the common feel we all have feels more than ever

[@josueignaciomm]

I feel exactly the same. I think it has a lot to do with the fact music-words progression is synchronized.

[@jreegdss6878]

haha, no

[@flaviomarinho4569]

I feel exactly the same.

[@ldphq]

one of the best sonata arctica songs ever.

[@PixPoxy]

I love all Sonata Arcticas songs, but i must say that The power of one is the best song ever!

[@alydama]

This is one of their best songs ever. Really a masterpiece. No other band plays songs with as much melancholy than Sonatra Arctica. By far my favorite group.

[@zraven2931]

I absolutely love Tonys creative vocal techniques on this album.

[@MarceloBraga-j7v]

Totally agreed! His most beautiful and passionate vocal performance is on this album.

[@DrewgeLiang]

I love the lyrics to this song. Tony Kakko is the second best Finnish Songwriter, second to Tuomas Holopainen. I wish the two of them would get together and write us some truly epic stuff!

[@demonman905]

I would listen to that for weeks on end!

[@Yksinainensusi1]

I prefer Tony's lyrics. Especially on My Selene, Juliet and Larger Than Life!

[@keysofgears]

***** My Selene was not written by Tony Kakko, but by Jani Liimatainen , the ex guitarist of the band.

[@Yksinainensusi1]

keysofgears Lyrics too? Not too sure

[@franciscoricarte7788]

+Yksinainensusi1 yes, Jani wrote My Selene.

[@Yosha5665]

I really love this part of the song: " My own reality... Mirrors and smoke The final truth unfolds ...Your reality... Mirrors my hopes, Where you will need me..." Just awsome 8)

[@mcraliss]

Tony Kakko you are absolutely the best. I have never paided attention to this song but now my mind is freaking me out.! This lyrics are amazing!

[@Angel_Investor_Music]

This song is definitely one of the, if not the best in this album. Very much emotion.

[@Xezbethnovitch]

I LOVE how he sings with so much emotions

[@rodrigoVgaspar]

The amount of emotion you can feel in this is amazing

[@DanBraithwaite]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and probably in the world. The fact that most people prefer X Factor TV trash to something like this tells me something is very wrong with the world.

[@limenade444]

Can you explain X-factor thing?

[@thebrainless1]

@@limenade444 Anything mainstream. Ffdp maroon five. You name it it's on it.

[@Bassteth]

oh, por fin entendi a que hacia referencia esta cancion, tony es muy ingenioso en sus letras, me encantan sus canciones, todas se basan en alguna cosa curiosa, sonata arctica es lo mejor son geniales

[@Venetas]

actually, Im a long time fan of Sonata and listened to them alrdy before Unia und The Days of Grays. I was not angry about Unia, I still loved them, but there were just a few simple Songs I liked. But The Days of Grays... Its just awesome! I love it most of all Albums ! The songs are coming so deeply from the Band memnerbs hearts, you can just feel it. I love Tonys new Vocals, they arent so squishy anymore, and I love the deeper voices, it just fits to the Album. Keep on doing! You guys are...

[@qwertcvbnmm]

this gives me chills every single time i listen this

[@VampireLuu]

Amazing, wonderful, beautoful..I haven't got vocable!!♥♥..this is gorgerous song, yesterday Sonata was in Zlin and they play this song, It was great..

[@Lemonadder]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful!! Hail from Greece!

[@javiergildeavila4449]

Master piece , reminds me to Queen.. u cant predict how song will evolve

[@AbsurdToastling]

The perfect end for the Caleb saga... gotta love Sonata Arctica. Everything they write turns to awesome.

[@JarpsHellRider]

THE BEST LYRICS EVER WRITTEN!!! And Tony's voice still so amazing

[@Shamandaly]

That song gives me chills. Pure art. Such a pity they are not as famous as they deserve to.

[@FrankCoffman]

One of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@poisondivine]

sonata is the most beautiful, romantic, and amazing band of our time.

[@dumfries359]

aww tanx guys for naming your song after me :-)

[@liliaraquelcarvalho1810]

I love the lyrics, it makes me feel comprehended.

[@Crytica.]

DAMN DUDE! Caleb -> End of this Chapter -> Don't Say a Word -> Juliet Damn that was one story and a half....

[@corinna007]

Also "Till Death's Done Us Apart" from the new album! ;)

[@Crytica.]

corinna007 New albums kinda suck dick tbh....

[@kerri-anncocozza4298]

Crytica I also have a feeling that Broken is part of the Caleb Saga. It just fits with the story and makes sense.

[@maaikevanderaa2269]

Not really tho :)

[@maaikevanderaa2269]

That the album sucks. It is a great album.

[@mikrebeka]

A Masterpiece !!!

[@Tranzo]

there is a hint in DSaW that he doesnt kill her after all...at the end he sings: "And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives" There is not explicitly said in the song that he carries out this promise, I think he eventually lets her live.

[@P0P357UR3]

Seeing this song live in London was the best thing ever.

[@XxAutumnLeavesxX]

Never heard that before.. this is simply Beautiful. ^^

[@bsavaskurt]

Incredible. Great lyrical content it has as well.

[@_Angel_Irene]

i really like this song and the lyrics... so special...

[@Tibiademon555]

"Drank the poison most foul with you... But why do you smile? ...Don't smile Don't you smile You're supposed Wither away with me, so, Juliette Please don't smile I'm paralyzed and you are still alive."

[@4rgenn]

awesome Song! love Sonata arctica

[@tdnur]

nothing but a masterpiece

[@DesAstora]

Sonata Arctica Noun: Meaning Best band ever

[@Shokushu]

this is a masterpiece

[@SirLeeOldman]

Oh ... that would make sense. Thankies!

[@CruzzioXT]

Fantastic song!

[@Makc_Ay]

love this song!

[@oldnotweak]

truly great stuff

[@stryfe41]

In an interview before this new album it was stated that it was Caleb - End of this Chapter - Don't say a Word. End of this Chapter being created first, Tony wanted a prequel and sequel. That is posted on the forums.

[@TheSelen3]

I love this song

[@declanbyers3142]

It is beautiful no doubt! I hope to one day hear a song with just him on keys, that'd be nice ^.^

[@RandomReasons13]

They played this at the concert yesterday (3rd dec.) and it was AMAZING!!!! dont say a word was truly epic tho...

[@fatwolf666]

TOTALLY PERFECT!!!!!!!

[@MrsWookie1993]

AMAZING SONG!!!!

[@natashalamentia6563]

I lived only by you, My scar, my heart, my truth, My sole reason to die... for There's no life without you

[@watchfromtheshadows]

Holy shit, first time hearing this song, just found out about the "Caleb Saga".... love it, love it, love it!

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

@keyboardarctica That's the order they were released in, but Caleb is the prequel to End Of This Chapter and then Don't Say A Word (then this song)

[@Kaito133]

beautiful

[@SonjaPerenda]

@veronicaahonen I also think that Juliet is the last song of this story...For me, it goes Caleb - End of this chapter - Don't say a word - Juliet. Makes more sense to me, in EotC he finds her again, gets into the house and has never wished her dead...YET (there he disovers she has found a new love). And then he decides that she has to die - DsaW - just like in the book he read (maybe he read the script to Romeo and Juliet, I also read it at school back then) - so "Juliet".

[@sayita07]

i live this song, and the lyrics ♥

[@MUR76MELI]

Just LOVE! :)

[@litosdek]

to tony!!! k gran cancion!!!

[@Hitch-82]

amazing...

[@Eliria1983]

LOVE IT ♥

[@shady9503]

i dont care the order theyr all amazing songs :) GO SONATA ARCTICA

[@mrJLJ66]

@Djawollo in songs, in story order, are caleb, the end of this chapter, dont say a word, and this ends it with juliet.

[@JoePruzhanovLi]

I thought it was a reference to the play "Romeo and Juliet". Once Romeo is exiled Juliet takes a pill that makes her appear to be dead, although she is actually not. Friar Lawrence (The guy who made up this plan) tries to get the message to Romeo that she's not really dead. However Romeo's messenger Balthazar doesn't know this and gets the wrong message to Romeo first. So Romeo basically goes and finds her and Poisons himself next to her (When she's actually alive).

[@Psychopats0]

Great!

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

@vallecaucano114 I've heard from interviews that even the two 'dana' songs aren't related, but then again that's second-hand information. Now that I think about it, shy sounds a lot like The End Of This Chapter lyrically.

[@qwertcvbnmm]

Damn, this song brings me memories

[@Emzing]

OMFG new part in the Caleb saga! But it can't end here, I'll be devastated if it ends here! Maybe he survives? Some poisons only give you brain damages... twisting him even more... >=)

[@juniorlee9941]

Amazing

[@Karak12357]

That's good to know. I'm just scouring youtube listening to these guys. So from someone who has yet found one of their cd's to buy (hopefully that will be remedied today when I got to FYE) It seems like Romeo and Juliet with lines like: "I hold your hand, close my eyes all I love finally dies Drank the poison most foul with you... But why do you smile?"

[@Skoojoo]

id like to hear Tony Kakko do some experimental black metal, he has the vocal versatility and possibly the ear for that style.

[@PhoenixPhire22]

@KeyTib No... I think the band said this is the last part of the story. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure this is the end. The song "Caleb" is the first part of the story. The Four songs in the "Caleb Saga" I believe are Caleb, Don't Say a Word, The End of this Chapter, and Juliet in that order. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's it.

[@stryfe41]

That's not how you say this is the best band/song ever.

[@SwipSedai]

@karhu96 I think it goes Caleb, The End Of This Chapter, Don't say a word, and Juliet. it makes sense to me that way cause he finds her in TEoTC and plots her murder in Don't say a word

[@rph1990]

What gets me, is that although we learn the caleb is the bad guy, we never genuinely learn Juliet is the good guy. Were led to believe this is a happy ending, but theres still a page missing, and possibly a whole other story

[@PhoenixPhire22]

Agree... This album was alright and better than the last one but those two are much better IMO.

[@HinnStormur]

@suchsilence1 Which album do you deem more interesting? I like the last one very much, but I think it's a little, little step backwards with respect to Unia. More direct, more emotional perhaps, but a little bit "duller" in some way. I hope you understand what I mean; they are stille two great albums! :-)

[@PhoenixPhire22]

@moviemaker3000 No... Sing in silents isn't but Juliet is... this has been confirmed by the band themselves. Juliet is the ending. You can read it in interviews. Some interviewer was asking if Juliet was about Romeo and Juliet. He laughed and said no, they have their own story going through our albums. Shakespeare had Romeo and Juliet. We have Caleb and Juliet.

[@animusic5612]

My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore ♫

[@Thobuz]

Love it

[@Angel_Investor_Music]

@MegamanBeta If that creeps you out, you don't want to listen to Dreamspace or Thin Ice by Stratovarius or Goodnight Kiss by Dream Theater before bedtime, because they all have very sad and unnerving atmosphere, and scary sound effects (ie. psychotic laughing, horrifics screams and a mirror breaking.).

[@pyxesghost1426]

2:09 the voice part of this song that can't exit my mind

[@PhoenixPhire22]

Edit: Actually... I had heard that's the order but I just listened to all the songs in that order and I think it would be more correct to put Don't say a Word after End of this Chapter. And Caleb is more like a prologue that explains the Character in the three songs. So it's more like a trilogy of songs (End of this Chapter, Don't Say A Word, Juliet) with Caleb giving more of a back story and can be listened to anywhere in there. Personally I think the release order is how they should be heard.

[@moviemaker3000]

YEAH BRO!! \m/

[@Unpetitmax]

@EnderGed Caleb / TEotC / DSaW / Juliet I'd say there'd be one song missing between Caleb and TEotC, something that would tell how they met and how they were together. But he does die in Juliet.

[@karhu96]

@thegreatninjaman I think it´s part of the Caleb series Caleb>Don´t say a word>The end of this chapter>Juliet I could be wrong about the order though.

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

@vallecaucano114 but the girl's name is Juliet... Tony got the name Dana from one of his favorite shows, the X Files =D

[@SirLeeOldman]

Yeah? I didn't know. Thankies. :-)

[@TheUksfdh]

@evanescence9314 Only Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" was a THEATRICAL PLAY... not a book... originally. If it was actually "Romeo and Juliet" he might've said something like "I've seen a story about a man, a love, a woman, how they died." But that sounds about right, since Juliet didn't die...

[@MetalJaska]

@Kasusable: well not at the two concerts i visited. he clearly said its about shakespeares romeo and juliet

[@SwipSedai]

@6ixpoint5ive i may be wrong in the interpretation but it starts with a kid named caleb (my name actually) and his parents hated him and he grows up being an unstable alcoholic and in TEoTC he finds some girl he's bee looking for and in DSAW he plots to kill her because she cheats and doesnt love him and in this his plan goes wrong and he dies but she doesnt.

[@Karak12357]

I got this album... Wish I had the version with In the Dark on it... but I live in the US, either way I still like this. The only other album they had was a tour cd which was more money than I was willing to spend that day. (It was 17 bucks and I had 30)

[@Tordah90]

i think theyre gettin more and more prog after each album i just want more of a presence of the guitar area :s i hope they finally settle firmly in their next album

[@Txustra]

Yes, exactly that. Caleb die after take a poison, and Juliet is happy to see that he's dying, so she close his eyes.

[@xeroxephyr]

The picture I'm seeing is during Don't Say a Word, Caleb is monologuing to her while he is chasing her- he doesn't actually have her captive. Then she somehow tricks him or something and gets away and leaves him to die. This song takes place then.

[@cman456100]

I have all of the "Days of Grays" songs on my iPod. I love it.

[@FFGamer077]

@PhoenixPhire22 Really?! :O Like, there's certain songs that tell stories? That's really awesome. I know I sound dumb asking this but witch songs follow this song?

[@akemichan88]

suits my mood

[@Thezzam]

Awesome song

[@Alagueesia]

I understand this.

[@AlxMiNeR]

hahha damn its soo nice to hear some more new sonata... they only played 3 or 4 song of it when i saw them.. tony made fucking uniq music again :)
