Sonata Arctica - San Sebastian Lyrics

[@Hootenanny4]

Now let's think here.. this band is just as good as Iron Maiden, or any of the major bands out there... why... why are they not as popular... these guys are awesome!

[@zakosist]

"San Sebastian" is in my opinion the best love-song ever!

[@Unahim]

I think the Sun part is also literal at the same time. He's on a summer holiday to San Sebastian, so he calls the girl "the sun of san sebastian" or "san sebastian" as a nick name, but he also talks about grey skies coming, which makes me believe that he's talking about how summer slowly glides to autumn, which is when his summer holiday ends and he has to leave, away from her.

[@karju4]

Yes, and in a broader sense, how his life will be passing by

[@heavy_elite]

I love tihs song. I hear it so often and it gets never boring. Its been years, since I heard it.

[@RodgerVanSteen]

San Sebastian is a man..The Sun of Sebastian represents his vocal chords when he was lost in time. Nowadays he still sings, but everybody prefers to watch his videos from when he used to sing for Skid Row.

[@giuleeamy]

this song, like all the other by sonata, makes me think of him. and i suffer so much, because i know he'll never love me.. the sweetest thing ever lived.

[@derfelfenrir7350]

3:41 I just miss the howl in this part of music

[@sergioconejo9286]

Every single day, for the rest of my way I life whithout my love, my god I have to stay in shade The best part of this song

[@kikacio3751]

man... this song brings back some memories, not memories about the song, but about my past... why doesn't youtube have an automatic replay button so I can fall asleep listening to this all night u.u

[@kikacio3751]

Lol that's true xD haven't tried that

[@kaithoward3902]

finally someone else who falls asleep listening to metal!!!! I thought I was the only one

[@kikacio3751]

Kait Howard hahahaha xD

[@misamisaa4547]

+kait howard when my tutor's daughter was 3 or 4, she got really sic & she could only fall asleep if her parents put (mostly power) metal on xD

[@Luck_x_Luck]

years ago I listend to this song, but only now am I starting to see why it got me so much, there is huge amounts of meaning in it

[@byronarnaoutoglou885]

That's one hell of a song!

[@burritochild1362]

ikr!

[@melkor224]

great, just great, another song that'll be stuck in my head for a solid week due to its epicness. C'mon guys, stop doing this to me, I just got Fullmoon out of my head a day ago!!

[@ChiskoJuanisimo]

Silence and Ecliptica..... i love those albums

[@skinny3516]

When I'm old and gray, I remember that day When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away...

[@loveless7299]

I think this song is about the singer fancying someone but he cant bring himself to ask her out because he thinks she is too beautiful for him so he lives in loneliness which is what marring the moon is a metaphor for and so he spends his time thinking about his crush. Sun of San Sebastian is also a metaphor for the girl which can be compared to loneliness being the moon.

[@soyr1ch4rd]

Your video was the best of the best. Excellent.

[@Gameplayery]

Solaire of Astora would like this song

くっそかっこいい Banzai Sonata Arctica

[@makerofyourdemise]

most metal heads use sonata arctica as an escape for the angry growling lyrics of most metal bands these days. such as me im a fan of machine head trivium and lambof god to name a few these guys are on a level that make u apreaciate what you have and ebrything that ever gets you down tony makes u feel like life is worth everything u give it if u dont give it 100% u will achieve anything. peace

[@cesarjoelcoronel37]

This perfect song: My life right now :´(

[@johnnyweepingwillow]

maybe the girl in the song is from san sebastian, and he calls her to sun of san sebastian cause she's the most radiant thing of the town? just an off the top of my head theory

[@gotikantonio]

lo mejor

[@rodrigohz23]

san sebastian te amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nostromo_]

Nope, it's not from Silence...it is from Orientation :) The song is slightly changed in singing in various parts, also the guitar parts :)

[@NothinButRock]

This song is so good! But is there a Sonata Arctica song that isn't?

[@saldownik]

Burn baby, burn. (after refusing to let the Sun go)

[@Home-kd9ss]

Can someone make a video on how to stop listening to this master piece please!?!

[@enrik89]

I love the OO-oo

[@zagliza]

I can totally relate to this beautiful song ;u;... even though I'm foreshadowing it

[@sandraoliveira7267]

The other day a guy came up to me and asked my name....I didn't like him, so I just replied "I'm San Sebastian"....He looked confused and asked me "Why? What do you mean?"...I smiled...and said "Because I'm way too hot for you".

[@ridenx1458]

[@ZomBkiller115]

Is this San Sebastion (Revisited)? and if not, what is the difference between the two? Or is there any at all?

[@Unaiber98]

He says one year ago,when was only 1 dislike.

[@DeathMagnetic666Kirk]

[@valv674]

You're welcome. Look it up and you'll probably notice it too :)

[@CIVILCHAOS1]

if i am right i think San Sebastian is a place... that would explain why he says the Sun of San Sebastian ,,, its the only explanation i see...

[@yazyaz2969]

So he married Selene?

[@valv674]

No, it isn't. There is a difference, the revisited one is a faster one and sounds more like Ecliptica's tunes.

[@onimotoko]
