SWALLOW THE SUN - Firelights (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This song is maybe the best Mikko has ever sounded. Also Aleah's necklace at the end

I love that Aleah's necklace has been featured in many songs Juha has done since her death....Hallatar's "My Mistake" and Trees Of Eternity's "Broken Mirror." Very special ❤

Just found this song and it describes my life in 2019. I started to live again during the first half of the pandemic year again.

And I want to assure you that I am praying for you Guys every day, so we can one day meet in Heaven, along with Aleah, and sing all of Your masterpieces for eternity. It gives me enormous hope that the sadness is only temporary. I wish You all the best! Love from Poland - Love that is always stronger than death!
