Sonata Arctica - Letter to Dana Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you. Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day And I don't want to bother You anymore, I used to hope you'd come back But not anymore Dana. My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine And I think my heart just cannot handle that Dana, my darling, would be so bad. Dana my darling I'm writing to you Cause your mother passed away it was a really rainy day And I didn't mean to bother you anymore Your mother wished: Come visit your fathers grave, Dana Your father disowned you because you have sinned But he did forgive you in condition he was in And I hope you won't do those things anymore Dana My darling I'm waiting for Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear, How I wish that my Dana was here Little Dana O'Hara decided one day to travel away, faraway No, you can't surprise me anymore No, I've seen it all before But it seems I cannot let you go Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana And I think that I told you, I'd wait for you forever Now I know someone else's holding you, so, for the first time in my life - I must lie Lie's a sin, mess that I am in, Love is not the thing I feel know I promise you: I won't write again 'til the sun sets behind your grave Dana, oh, Dana I'm writing to you I heard you passed away, it was a beautiful day I'm old and I feel time will come for me My diary's pages are full of thee Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear, How I wish that my Dana was here Little Dana O'Hara decided one day to travel away, faraway Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear, How I wish that my Dana was here Little Dana O'Hara decided one day to travel away, faraway Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear, How I wish that my Dana was here Little Dana O'Hara decided one day to travel away, faraway
That's going to be a kick ass show. I saw Sonata Arctica and Nightwish in New Orleans last September and it knocked my socks off! And in Norway, no less? So close to their home? I'm jealous. -Lochness
Das Lied erinnert mich an die Zeit als ich mein älterer Bruder angefangen hat mehr mit mir zu machen als ich älter geworden bin. Mein Gott schon bestimmt 5 Jahre her. Eines der BESTEN LIEDER die es gibt so viel ist sicher
io dico solo che questa canzone è semplicemente spettacolare. Ha qualcosa di mistico e le immagini sono fantastiche nel contesto. La ascolterei 10 volte di fila. Bravissimi sonata
just so beautiful... what a song... nightwish and sonata arctica are two of the best metal band at the moment.... [if you don't consider dream theater and symphony X]:D... how I wish that my dana was hereeeee....
Dana, oh, Dana, I'm writing to you. I heard you passed away it was a beautiful day. I am old and I feel time will come for me. My diary's pages are full of thee. I am in love with this song, along with Toni Kakko, and Henrik whats-his-face (I'm not a great SA fan, I just know their songs, and seeing as they're from Finland, and have Finnish names, I forget them easily LOVE THIS SONG!!!
The video portrays sadness and the threshold of the human heart, People choose to be goth or emo to convey their message of howthey truly feel. The lyrics explain how someone longed for dana but never had the feelings returned. Instead of judgin and complaining, learn and understand peoples feelings....
"is dana a real person??? " I'm not sure on this yet, but from what I heard from a trusted expert is that the 'Dana' referred to is Dana Scully from the ty show, "X-Files" Weird, I know, but it is Sonata Arctica, the band that has a hit song about werewolves..
@incompleteinsanity i totally agree with you. I'm not a goth, but i can understand what you meant. I'm a boy and i'm able to cry..many people think that crying is for fools, but they are so wrong..romanticism is such a good thing, one of the best of our life, we all should be more romantic, in happiness and sadness, always...ignorants should read shakespeare and goethe, so that they could understand it.
@FishFan91 Thank you for your thoughts! It's funny, that most of us Finns think we don't have any culture worth mentioning - which is a bit odd, remembering Sibelius for instance, or Albert Edelfelt... But that's the national character on Finnish people, we are modest to the point of being ridiculous ;/ You have amazing music in Poland too, I just love Chopin for instance. Nocturne op.9 part 1 always makes me cry, and part 2 is world famous for a good reason. Greetings from Finland!
@ engineeradams just because someobody from a foreign country does not speak english as well as you does not mean that he or she is not able to determ the most beautiful thing on this earth!!!
I love the first image and the one round minute 1:40. Also the ones of the girl and the boy with the raven in that sort of church/castle passage. They really match the song. Oh, and the one at minute 4 twenty something.
@SundownWarrior haha i fully agree with you, but i've just never had any Brittish friends. Although i'd love to, the accent around Newcastle and Manchester gives me the chills man. I LOVE IT!
PERFECT SONG IN EVERY WAY...
Sonata Arctica - Letter to Dana
Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you.
Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day
And I don't want to bother You anymore,
I used to hope you'd come back
But not anymore Dana.
My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen
your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine
And I think my heart just cannot handle that
Dana, my darling, would be so bad.
Dana my darling I'm writing to you
Cause your mother passed away it was a really rainy day
And I didn't mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished: Come visit your fathers grave, Dana
Your father disowned you because you have sinned
But he did forgive you in condition he was in
And I hope you won't do those things anymore
Dana My darling I'm waiting for
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway
No, you can't surprise me anymore
No, I've seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go
Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana
And I think that I told you, I'd wait for you forever
Now I know someone else's holding you,
so, for the first time in my life - I must lie
Lie's a sin, mess that I am in,
Love is not the thing I feel know
I promise you: I won't write again 'til the sun sets
behind your grave
Dana, oh, Dana I'm writing to you
I heard you passed away, it was a beautiful day
I'm old and I feel time will come for me
My diary's pages are full of thee
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway
Thank you for lirycs.

First time I heard this song, I almost started to cry... it was so beautiful and the lyrics are also very beautiful
That's going to be a kick ass show. I saw Sonata Arctica and Nightwish in New Orleans last September and it knocked my socks off! And in Norway, no less? So close to their home? I'm jealous.

best Sonata Arctica song in my eyes, great guitar solo at the end...that one lick right at the end of the final solo always gives me chills
Incredible vocals...so much passion...really amazing band
Uskomattoman kaunis kappale. Tuo paljon hyviä muistoja mieleen.
Das Lied erinnert mich an die Zeit als ich mein älterer Bruder angefangen hat mehr mit mir zu machen als ich älter geworden
bin. Mein Gott schon bestimmt 5 Jahre her.

"is dana a real person??? "
I'm not sure on this yet, but from what I heard from a trusted expert is that the 'Dana' referred to is Dana Scully from the ty show, "X-Files"
Weird, I know, but it is Sonata Arctica, the band that has a hit song about werewolves..
It's an awesome ballad song of sonata arctica ( :
miticaaaaaaaaa canzone stupenda!!!!!
I like the pictures..
Ah, suomalainen suomi suomi suomalainen. Sorry, ei voinut auttaa itseäni. LOVE tämä bändi!
Great song and great video.

Beautiful Song!
I love the combination of guitar and flute in the beggining
@jukkis6699 The lyrics of a song are essentially poems. A song really is just a poem set to music. o_o

That is the statue of the Angel of Grief by William Wetmore Story for his wife and him later. Original is at Protestant Cemetery in Rome.

Is a magnifique song
Sonata Artica is back
i love thiss song and the clip is a masterpiece ;)
gotta love power metal, sonata arctica, wintersun, pagans mind etc =D
Dana is not for real, Tony was writing a song and he simply needed a name. He jokingly said he got inspiration from X-Files,("letter to Scully").
Fantastic song and the pictures are very very beautifull!!!! I love sonata arctica why don't they come to Italy?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
i have to live there just to get a little less depressed by the shitty weather and people of the netherlands
