I wish so badly I could have seen this live.. I love this band and its been my fav. band for like.. 6-7 years.. but when they go acoustic, it just melts my heart..
In good old times, remember, my friend Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss? Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now? "Can we ever have what we had then Friendship unbreakable Love means nothing to me Without blinking an eye I'd fade, if so needed All those moments with you If I had you beside me" One cloudy day we both lost the game? We drifted so far and away. Nothing is quite as cruel as a child Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes? "And we'll never have what we had then Friendship unbroken Love means nothing to me Without blinking an eye I'd fade, if so needed All those moments with you If I had you beside me" I was unable to cope with what you said Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind Child that I was, could not see the reason Feelings I had were but sham and a lie? I have never forgotten your smile Your eyes of Shamandalie Time went by, many memories died I'm writing this down to ease my pain You saw us always clearer than me How we were never meant to be Love denied meant the friendship would die, The years showed me the light These memories make me cry "And we'll never have what we had then Friendship unbroken Love means nothing to me Without blinking an eye I'd fade, if so needed All those moments with you And see the world with my wide open eyes Friendship got broken, There's no other for me Like the one of my childhood day Can you forgive me? The love got better off me On that one day back in old times"
Sonata Arctica is one of the best power metal bands from the 90's part and no doubt these issues are increasingly hymns presented, but best of all is the meaning contained in their letters
My own land has closed its gates on me All alone in world, it's scaring me I am here to prove you wrong I'm accused of something I live for In my dreamland, there's some who understands A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands Yes, I gave it all I can Now it's invaded by a stranger Keep in mind what you have heard today You might find that you're not so brave Are you man enough, carry the load all alone When other have your own My old land is but a pile of sand Cold and bare but something still is there I am here to claim my land You can't keep me away forever Keep in mind what you have heard today You might find that you're not so brave Are you man enough, carry the load all alone When other have your own I'm a true patriot, you are my land, you have my soul, you have all I had Now I am here, and I want it all back In my dreams, I climb the hills I see and let a gentle breeze lead me to plains I once have seen and Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find I build a house right there that you can't take away I am here to claim my land you can't keep me away, forever, ever Keep in mind what you have heard today You might find that you're not so brave Are you man enough, carry the load all alone When other have your own.
Sonata arctica é a melhor banda de power metal, tanto no instrumental, nas letras, nenhuma parte pode ser excluida: Ex: se o baixista sair nao vai ficar a mesma coisa
actually it's both a hybrid word of sham-and-a-lie and Shamandalie which is a finnish name and the story is about him being left by her and decieved and betrayed. hence the phrase sham-and-a-lie ;)

@wannabetheguy well I have 3 names for my future daughters: Dahlia, Rosier and Shamandalie. If i will have 4, fourth will be Jade. (all from songs ofc.)
this video must be: mary-lou, replica, my land, victoria secret (letter to dana), jam, and no this one ---> shamandalie??? xd u have the full video? or any link ? to the full video?
When i was younger id be at my bedroom with a hairbrush with a foot on my bed screaming along with his metal songs. My mother would be storming inside of my room roaring something like: hey go kill that cat somewhere else. (Yes my voice sounded that bad.)
god people piece it together Sham and a lie... Though when all together it sounds like a name, it is and it isn't... I want to name my daughter shamandalie just because it sounds like a beautiful name =D
![Sonata Arctica - Acoustic live Tokyo'04 [higher quality] 2/2](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hn0oToK5_g8/mqdefault.jpg)
This guy has one of the best voices I've ever heard!!!!
+Gabriel Fernandez The voice of an Angel!
BluVampireHunter It is man!
I wish so badly I could have seen this live.. I love this band and its been my fav. band for like.. 6-7 years.. but when they go acoustic, it just melts my heart..
Jani liimatainen and tony is awesome
Sings forgotten words with vibrato, that's the performer that Tony is
Shamandalie is beyond amazing
I could listen to this over and over for months and never get bored of hearing it :)
How I love acoustic performances with an electric guitar...
nice acoustic, youtube needs more shamandalie lives
He has a true nobles blood.
Songs, the wisdom, words, tales and most importantly his spirit.
Such bliss and artful music and imagery.
A true artist.
what a voice god bless you tony ;)
Tony has a stunningly beautiful voice. Too, too perfect
how I wish I could hear him live
Love this acoustic version of My Land.
Me gustan las dos versiones. La acústica y la enchufada bien power. Me gusta tanto la voz de Tony... excelente cantante!
Dude, this man is GOD!
tonys voice is just perfect.
my o my these versions acustic are toooo great!!! I love them!!!!!
In good old times, remember, my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
"Can we ever have what we had then
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"
One cloudy day we both lost the game?
We drifted so far and away.
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes?
"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"
I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?
I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes of Shamandalie
Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die,
The years showed me the light
These memories make me cry
"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
And see the world with my wide open eyes
Friendship got broken,
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood day
Can you forgive me?
The love got better off me
On that one day back in old times"
Are you man enough carrying the load all alone when others have your own
lOVE YOU!!!!!!! WOW
youtre most amazing and so talented
I have no words for this. Beautiful.
Yesssss. I loved both songs as much as the studio versions, if not more.
Sham-And-A-Lie. Now that's clever. Sonata Arctica is so amazing, I wish I could express it in words.
Amazing, freaking amazing.
Sonata Arctica kicks ass!! they rock!
the best ever of all
the best video of this acoustic .. in my opinion.. the both songs .. veryyy nice..
tony forgets a dramatic part of the song, of shamandalie ... that s fine, he can sings whats he wants to... love him
And Tony is the awesomeness singer in the world
It's so great. My absolutly favorite.
Tony The Voice

thank you tony... just thank you
I love how Dave Mustaine decided to make a guest appearance.
I loveeee!!!!!!! love love love love love tony!!!!!!! i love you!! JANI I miss you!!!
My own land has closed its gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me
I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for
In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands
Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there
I am here to claim my land
You can't keep me away forever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
I'm a true patriot, you are my land,
you have my soul, you have all I had
Now I am here, and I want it all back
In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away
I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away, forever, ever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own.
tony's voice is epic win

@SonataArcticaQueen

actually it's both a hybrid word of sham-and-a-lie and Shamandalie which is a finnish name and the story is about him being left by her and decieved and betrayed. hence the phrase sham-and-a-lie ;)
@SonataArcticaQueen
Kakko und Hansi (BG) sind die aller besten Sänger die die welt je gesehen hat^^

@Calzim47 I don't understand, what's supposed to be the fail?
What shirt does Jani have on? It looks like a band shirt, but I can't see the name except that it begins with BL. Anyone know?
oh well then...:P it's just that they said it in an interview that it was bot sham-and-a-lie and the name of a girl named shamandalie
@wannabetheguy Shaman Dalie?
He's just under a pink light, I think. Although it would be awesome if it was pink pink. :D
very funny when he says, * im here to claim japan* instead of my land :P
When i was younger id be at my bedroom with a hairbrush with a foot on my bed screaming along with his metal songs.
My mother would be storming inside of my room roaring something like: hey go kill that cat somewhere else.
(Yes my voice sounded that bad.)
god people piece it together Sham and a lie... Though when all together it sounds like a name, it is and it isn't... I want to name my daughter shamandalie just because it sounds like a beautiful name =D
TONY, OPEN YOUR EYES. XD
