Taken off the album “Clear Cold Beyond” (March 8th, 2024)

Front-man Tony Kakko adds, “This is a song about persons who think that it’s possible and okay to charm and have any and all people for themselves – use and lose – and who don’t care about the amount of pain and broken hearts left behind. And now you’re the target, but you know better and make sure that this will not happen until ‘California falls into the sea,’ what I’ve come to understand is impossible and will never happen, at least in the sense of science fiction. Simply put: The track deals with self-protection. If you’re strong enough, you can of course give such persons a serving of their own poison what can be satisfying.”

Lyrics:
So, you think you now have found yourself a game
With smiles and lies you climb the walls
To every heart, far apart
The seer’s thousand faces share a name
A thousand tales, unfolding now within a day, everywhere
Scars keep score
The broken pieces, gold on the floor
For you, love’s a game, a chore
Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m yours on the day when
California falls into the sea
The birds know the way and fly away, if one day
California falls into the sea
You’ll never find the way, the key
To lock me down, I’m free
Now, as you have failed to hear me out, again
Made deaf by your own open mouth…
I think it’s only fair I live my life
Enjoy the day, go find my beach
And have my moments in the sun
Scars keep score
The broken pieces, gold on the floor
For you, love’s a game, a chore
Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m yours on the day when
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
The day you find a way to lock me down
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
You wait for
California to fall into the sea
I cannot find a tongue you speak
I’ve tried them all, can you leave me be?
Preeeeego!
When California falls into the sea
When California falls in to the sea
It’s safe to say
We’ll never see the day

Old Sonata Arctic is back… 😍
Awesome song and album!
💥👏👏👏👏👏👏 excelente gracias gracias
I think there's more of a sinking chance over here in Florida, but regardless.. I hope to see you guys here soon!
Sonata's gone since Jani's gone 🥺
Sounds like it was written 17 years ago. Nice.
1:29 TEATRO FLORES, BUENOS AIRES!!
San Sebastian 2024.
Deseé mucho tiempo que Sonata Intentara hacer bien Power Metal de nuevo, y ahora que lo han hecho, encontré irritante el número de veces que repiten el California falls into the sea… Cómo para que pegue a wevo… Pero bueno, seguiré escuchando el disco
Sorry not sorry… it sounds like a generic song to me. Nothing about those peculiar melodies from their earliest albums.
I love this band so much
Mi banda favorita volvió con toda su furia, power metal del bueno,Sonata Arctica forever. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Это уже поинтереснее, чем первая песня, где клип в метро.
Loving this return to their oldschool sound, but does anyone else think the mixing's a bit off? All the songs released so far feel like they're lacking punch in the top end.
Está buena la canción !!! Rápida, agradable de oir y buen pegajoso el coro !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Yo creo que los que se quejan es por qué de seguro ni siquiera podrían componer ellos una canción 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. En este tipo de metal no es tanto que sea rápido y estridente , es saber apreciar las instrumentaciones y los cambios en la música y….. En este caso siento que si cumple con eso el disco en general . Felicitaciones chicos espero volver a verlos en Méxyico !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Ese día que los ví por primera vez quedé fascinada y espero vuelvan a ir !!! 🎉🎼🎵🎶🥁🎸🎹💙🌍🐺🇫🇮💙🌍🐺🇫🇮
talking about lock downs is this antivax stuff? wtf lol. Fox News talking points make their way to Finand.
Sonata Artica is and stay one of my favorite Power Metal-Bands!!
Woah, it's every Sonata Arctica song! Yeah I definitely prefer the slower and more beautiful, melodic stuff lol. But at least this doesn't have Tony singing in that obnoxiously annoying range like some of the early stuff, so there's that 😅 And at least this is coherent enough that I can follow what melody there is, which is also nice. Overall a solid enough album! But Pariah's Child, The Ninth Hour, Ecliptica (both original and re-done) and Days of Grays are still my favorite albums, and even a lot off Talviyö
Listened to the album today, love it so much. And like every one else I can't see any despise for this song, guess @ArcticHearted90 can't see the love for Sonata Arctica everyone has
Exelent sonata is back the king of power metal
Based
The album just goes non stop in my earphones.
It's always a pleasure to discover new songs from Sonata Arctica, and this one brings me back to the first albums.
I can't wait to see them back on stage.
I thank them very much 🤘🤘🤘
Old sonata returns
