Lyrics:
Life
Your life isn't illusion
Time is a eager delusion
A cage is a creation
Of someone's imagination
If life makes you glow
Then glow like a star
Build a night
Ignore the day
On the sky leaving the clouds
To defy gravity
Sign an aberration
Your low down to damnation
When the rest is an illustration
Predicts the tribulation
Could the keys give you hope
To live in a dream
Let the music grow
When your eyes close from the vast plotting of stars
Sing one life
Wait for the punch line
Notes are blind
But they know when you sing and smile
Life is better alive
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won't wane away
Sing with someone today
When your team makes a game winning goal
Get ready to sing
Lalala lalalala lalalala
With a friend who is right beside you
Lalala lalalala lalalala
With a friends beside you
Time...
Every light on the blue sky
The night will beautify
Time...
Cast coins in a waterfall
Two coins, one for each eye
Time...
The icy tingle of empty vapor on your hand
Time...
The tiny cracks in the ground
For a canyon that needs command
Just one life
Sing with the feeling
Turn back time
Make all your stars align
The only thing that we need
Is the vanity of happiness
With friends align
They sing in the key of
Life
Life is better alive
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won't wane away
Smile at someone today
If the wall smiles back
You're alive and ready to sing
Life is better alive
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won't wane away
Sing with someone today
When your team makes a game winning goal
Get ready to sing
Lalala lalalala lalalala
With a friend who is right beside you
Lalala lalalala lalalala
With a friend beside you
Yeah!
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won't wane away
Life is better alive
When your team makes a game winning goal
Get ready to sing
Lalala lalalala lalalala
It is a dumb thing to say
But the life is better alive
Lalala lalalala lalalala
Life is better alive
Lalala lalalala lalalala
Life is better alive

I think people who are depressed and down over this dark planet there is hope. Together we can turn it around. You are not alone. Evil can be stopped and love to rule, but we need to do it together. Join social movements and help fight against the human virus of evil.
You are right
It's strange, because while I was listening to this song, I was pondering the exact same thing you wrote here. Living with severe chronic illness, complements of the dark forces/bio weapons used on humanity, I feel the oppression every day. I've been telling everyone for years.. the world's masses have got to unify, come together as one unit to destroy evil! 💕 Love & peace sounds nice, but it might have to get real, as in brutal in order ☠️💀 to seriously ever change anything!
Yes
Join social movements and fight against capitalism you meant. Because our production model is killing us, is killing the planet, and will drive us to extinction
This song just pulled me out of a VERY dark place (Not quite suicide but same despair). Got the meet and Greet for them in Portland, OR and was able to personally thank the band for this. Just an amazing band, amazing group of awesome people. I'm VERY thankful for the experience. I look forward to meeting more people to sing with
It's my favorite band since I am 14 and I am 30 now!
Lalala lalalala lalalala 🎵🎶
I got through a very tough time in my life thanks to this song! It remains my favorite of their songs!
@@RadioTeal
I hope your doing much better and life is good to you. Cheers, mate. You got this!
I dare you to say this is bad.... the whole song is wonderful, the keyboard solo.... and the chorus is so emotional that I can't stop singing "La la la laaaa- lala lala la-la-la!"! LOVE SONATA ARCTICA THEY NEVER DISAPPOINT ME!!!
It is pretty uninspired.
This song is BORING as fuck
This is really bad, I have a Sonata Arctica tattoo, this song makes me want to get a coverup, its that b ad.
If you have a Sonata Arctica tattoo it means that even if they will make a poop song you have to find the things you like... and this is absolutely NOT a poop song... so you're not a true fan...
Saying you have to find something in every song to like, or else your not a true fan, is kind of a silly thing to say. Sonata Arctica has disappointed me for an entire decade now. My tattoo is kinda like getting a name of a dead relative tattooed at this point. A reminder of something that I once loved, but is now lost to me.
I gotta say, this might bring me back to listening to sonata
I don't know if you listened to “Pariah's Child”, but I think it had the best songwriting and production since “Reckoning Night”. If you didn't like it, I'd encourage you to check it out again.
I have.... sadly
Félix Marqués I agree. PC was their best since Unia for me.
There are 3 other songs off of The Ninth Gate I think you would like
Its the Ninth Hour.
Power metal doesn't need to be fast, this is a good example
Yes, but it needs to be metal, nonetheless.
There’s no power or metal in this though.
Ludvig Nilsson I’m not sure how to describe it. Rock with a progressive and emo twist.
Ludvig Nilsson Sure.
This is not metal
Your life isn't illusion
Time is a eager delusion
A cage is a creation
Of someone's imagination
If life makes you glow
Then glow like a star

Sonata Arctica is by far the band that own the most beautiful artwork...
When you're feeling a little tired of life, listen to this song.
It will surely help you to live a better tomorrow, even if it's just a little bit more than the present.
This is a great song that made me realize that life is a wonderful thing. Thank you, Sonata Arctica!
Really great song, welcome back Sonata !
back? They sound the same since the last 7 years.. boring and uninspired..
+RigoStar Yes but this song is different, sounds like a mix of winterhearts guild and the days of grays.
My favourite song that Tony has made in the last 2 albums
+Davide Valle sorry but this song has nothing of or from winterheart's guild... the only god thing in the song is the solo imho, voice is to low :/
+Rayderx listen to this with better headphones....
well now that is quite an overstatement isn't it... back? they can barely make one song per album. Take this song or "The Wolves Die Young" or "Cloud Factory", put them on any of their past great albums (Ecliptica, Silence, Winterheart's Guild, Reckoning Night, Unia) they will fall behind as average songs on them, and these are their "good" songs now! To say they are back is just wrong when they can barely compose a song per album.
As someone already stated, they sound boring and uninspired, almost like forcing the songs. What is going on with them? I have no fucking idea, maybe they have other projects, I don't know.
Best song they've released in ages.
Lalala lalalala lalalala
With a friend who is right beside you
Lalala lalalala lalalala
With a friends beside you
Those are lyrics???
@@YTheNightragerY yes
I swear Sonata Arctica is the most majetic band i have ever listened to ! i'm 100 % sure that their music comes from heaven !
My favorite Band since I heard for the first time!!
A fan since late 2004 and I love this song.
PrinceMarcus William me too, i became a fan in 2006 though, but still, i was only 7 years old. Sonata is not the same as it was,
... But i still love this song :)
Thing is... I live in southern California and I believe SA's first concert over here was around January 2006, so it took them awhile to get over here. I'm pretty sure I would have been a fan of theirs by 2000 if we got their music at that time. My first time seeing them was in February "For the Sake of Revenge" tour. They had Jani at the show in Santa Ana at the Galaxy and it blew my mind.
Since 2005 or 2006 here
Same for me, first record I bought was the 'don't say a word'-ep
This song is the reason I greet ever person I see.
Sonata is evolving all the time. Get over it.
Ya'll I'm 50 yes 50, this holds its own against /with my 80's power metal bands and I'm a Nightwish junkie. Times, technology change and music is produced frickin bad ass these days whew
You can quibble about the sound or the mix or whether this is as good as some previous album, but one thing is for sure: this band makes uplifting, powerful, inspiring progressive metal music that is good for the soul. Go see them in concert and experience the magic. I saw the Piriah's Child show 4 times in 18 months and never got tired of it. This wonderful album is more of the same and "Life" is an anthem for finding hope in our increasingly troubled world. Long live Sonata Arctica!
This might grow on me. Don't get me wrong Sonata, you'll never be in my top 3 ever again, cause those places have been taken and secured, but you were my #1 once, and I'll keep you for the memories.
Sonata Arctica is the biggest Musical yourney i ever had. From eclyptica to now. Maybe its time no leave our signet ring on the ashes. Forget our broken hearts and enjoy life with the one's who are left. Finally face the important Things in our time.
This song definitely comes from The Days of Grays. At least the instrumental parts, the sing of Tony is more Pariah's Child sounds like, but Life is far better than Closer to An Animal, now I really can't wait to listen the whole album.
The riff reminds me a bit of "No Dream can heal a broken Heart". ;)
Definitely! The folk melody at the beginning of the song and the progression of the notes reminds me of No Dream Can Heal a Broken Heart, my favorite song from Sonata Arctica.
me too, cant wait ;D
Not better than Closer to an Animal, just different
+Renan Colombini this is much better than closer to an animal
I don't think "life is better alive" is cheesy or dumb at all. So many go through life on autopilot, or living lives they absolutely hate, or feel totally apathetic about. I want to live my life feeling AWAKE and ALIVE. I love it. Reminiscent of old Sonata, which I miss.
The Perfect Song of the world welcome back Sonata Arctica and life
Everything so melodic in this Band!!!!
I was pretty intrigued by Closer To An Animal, but this one totally sold me. I officially have very high hopes for this album to be the best thing they've recorded since Unia.
Drums sound like a 80's rythm box... lifeless mix, good song
Sound really nice!! ^^
I'm anxious to hear the rest!
What I heard, the rest is more Power Metal. ;)
DAMN, YES!!!!
cant wait :)
Good news !
listened the whole new album a few times, and I love this track more and more
I... Can't...Stop...Listening. On repeat. Over and over. Purchased it on itunes and between RUclips and iTunes I just can't get enough I absolutely love this.
This song aged so well for me, I love the feeling, music and message. And the second verse at 2:04 is just so perfect. Thanks for this Tony
Love this verse too 🥰
Unimaginably wonderful... Lalala lalalala lalalala !!!!!!!
Love how Tony managed to bring so much feeling to the video
"If the band that you like changes at the same time that your personal musical taste changes, it's the perfect thing"
This is the most "Sonata" sounding song I've heard since The Days of Grays, I love it!!!! thank you so much for restoring my faith in you guys!
“Pariah's Child” truly felt like a comeback to me. Not one bad song. But it needs a bit of time and patience.
Love sucks
A perfect song to my two princess. Thank you Sonata.
A great music video of sonata arctica after a loong time.
This is their best song since Days of Grays era, that's for sure \m/
This is definitely a grower. I can feel it as a good song already.
Sonata Arctica masterpiece. So great...
Sonata Arctica is the pure magic...
"Just one Life
Sing with the feeling
Turn back time
Make all your stars align"
Okay, this part hit me hard. I don't think I have cried to a song in a damn good while.
Tony you are the best!!!
sachez bien amis métalleux que la France aime SONATA ARCTICA !!!!
June 2018 anyone? It's still my favourite song! I hope when you read this tomorrow will be a blessed day for you ❤
Absolutely stunning. the Days of Grays -vibe!
MÚSICA MARAVILHOSAAAAAA, SONATA ARCTICA FOREVER!!!
Parece que seguirá siendo mi preferida dentro del Power 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️
Amazing 🤘🏻
I see a lot of people saying that Sonata lost their touch, which is kind of the opposite of what happens, they still do an amazing job on their songs.
But this happens with every new album of every (metal) artist, people are being sceptical over the whole album, which isn't bad or anything, is just that some people try too hard to hear any difference (which is there, but not in a way they dislike to play their songs) between the new album and the older ones.
This will eventually change as how long the new album exists, and will be added to the ever existing albums to date ( until they make a new one in which the cycle begins anew).
For that i will say: make up your mind when the full release is there, you've listended to it through and through, know what the lyrics mean, and then I will value your opinion (when the arguments are valid).
And yes, the new songs they've released are definitely different, but not bad at all, they're actually really good and I enjoy them.
Closer to an animal has still really hard lyrics to sing-a-long after listening to it about 3-4 times, not speech-wise, but you have to put a lot of words in a single rythmic sentence.
And yet it sounds so good.
This may be my own opinion, and there will be many that won't agree with me.
But then again, isn't that the point of a fanbase that constantly keeps evolving?
I love when they do happy songs, reminds me of Victoria's Secret. I'll definitely be belting this one out in my car!
I could be wrong but isnt Victoria's Secret about suicide or am i interpreting it wrong?
Oh jeez, if it is I had no idea!
Whitney Fischer Oh shoot i hope i didnt ruin it for you :c It does sound like a happier song in general though. I actually had an small debate with a friend whether or not if it was about it. but songs mean different things to people, so its still up for debate
Huge fan of their first five albums. Wasn't a big fan of Last Days Of Grays/SGHN but their last and this one have brought me back. This is like Unia II.
The new album is beautiful I love Sonata. With every album is a new beautiful sound, the melody leaves me breathless.
I was listening to this when my brother called me to tell me that my grandfather passed away.... I ll always have a special feeling with this song... Sonata still one of my favorite bands since almost 20 years
Definitely feeling a more progressive edge to these new songs so far. Like One Hour By The Concrete Lake-era Pain Of Salvation. VERY excited about this album so far!
this is my new favorite band
sonata arctica is LIFE!
A timeless voice within power metal history!
This is the most badass clip i've ever seen from Sonata Arctica
Plot twist: The woman who's face you never see is actually Tony.
The song is great btw.
You're not a 9gagger by any chance, are you? :DD
Either way, thank you Sir, you made me laugh.
4 years later and I ugly laughed at this
@@biancagarcia4096 Im glad that it was funny to someone
These is old school Sonata! *Love it!*
Beautiful song and video! One of my goals is to visit the Paavolan tammi (that glorious tree) someday.
Life!... life is great since I've heard your music. This song must be the sound of the metal hapiness! thank you for did it again.
very good song considering that I've never heard of them until now
Check their album called Silence.
Sonata Arctica: Fullmoon, Replica, Kingodom for a Heart
Nah, Unia is the thing.
Same. Definitely a serious kickass band
This is like saying ''Metallica = Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, Cyanide''
Their best song, their best clip... the best of Sonata Arctica ! Hope one day they will give us another song as powerful
what´s happened to you boys? please comeback to the SILENCE "ERA", your best work... EVER!!!... "cheer from Arica-Chile"
Very nice Great sound I love Sonata Arctica
Now more symphonic metal than power metal, so what? This is just beautiful! Love it.
good song, sonata arctica alwyas shows us the great link betwen life, nature and humaun in his way,, h'is realy different.
I like the new style of Sonata Arctica. The one thing I really like of this change is that I can come back to their older music and never get tired of it and then listen to their newer stuff and it doesn't feel like the same old thing. It really suits my mood whenever I'm feeling more calm or energetic. This new style feels a little romantic and more mature, like myself, who grows up along with the band. One thing is that many people don't like this new change but I've seen them in concert and I am again this year. They do not block out their old content. They've played a lot of their old songs last time I saw them (MANY of my favorite tracks, and not only Pariah's Child) They even did the anniversary album which was very awesome! I think they're just exploring themselves which is completely okay with me.
I assume my neighbors are singing along beside me..given how familiar they are with the song.
I'm a long time fan... Like I listen to SA since I was 8 y.o. ...FINALLY a good song, with a good video!! it reminds me of the "Last Amazing Greys" album, which I really liked a lot!
Rehn Stillnight finally!! Someone who understands!!! T.T
The days of grays
Great choice in music, but your music is awesome as well. Subscribed!
What the first song of SA that you listen?
@PsychoYeoX i like song letter to dana from SA 😊
Grasp the hands of those who are true; steady your fall down this dark pit of the future
Best band all-time is back !!
It's amazing to see positive comments about Sonata Arctica once again!!
I was a huge fan since Ecliptica came out when I was 12. I have to say I don't like their new stuff since many years ago. But I'm happy they are still rocking the scene on their own way, making new fans.
Thanks for sharing this RP Music 👍👌👋
Soooooooooooooooooo much better Alive !!!
You'll need a few listens to like this. It's grown on me. I love the lyrics and la la la la la la la part.
Edit: I absolutely love the album. Including White Pearl Black Oceans Part 2
This song rocks so hard, best gym music! Please do more songs like this, great melody.
Too much talent to be putting out music like this
Sonata Arctica mean so much to me. The new album might have disappointed me but this song most certainly did not. Probably my favourite song of 2016!
awesome song.......
Just discovered this band (I was looking for bands similar to Kamelot)...this is so good!
Listen to San Sebastian song from Sonata is way more emotional than this one and it's a speed/power metal song
Awesome, will do! ^^
You've just discovered your next favorite band.
+Joel Rdz yeah, I downloaded Ecliptica and it's great! (I like fast paced stuff but mid paced stuff is alright too) I'll probably download some of their other albums. I've heard they've gone downhill recently.
Listen the entire discography of Sonata Arctica, you won't regret it.
This is the true Baby Metal.
Why I love Metal Video Clips in the Nature ...these guys are performing in the water , on a mountain, in the middle of nowhere. No Powerplant anywhere but Sound as Hell , lol :)) !!
"Life is better alive" is cheesy as heck, but quite enjoying this song
S
It's not cheesy. For me, it's like a quote to think about :) I've seen cheesier power metal (ehm...Twilight Force...ehm)
I think he means , life is better when you're out enjoying every moment and embracing nature and love while we only have this short time line. "life is better alive" when you're inside on your computer all day, video games,watching TV , at work in a meeting or even sleeping all day, you aren't really alive , that time is going by so fast you'll lose every moment.
Do you think? Larger than life from the last output was great..
And Unia has awesome lyrics, nothing cheesy there (Ecliptica WAS cheesy indeed*g*). ;)
Twilight Force are meant to be cheesy. Like Power Metal is supposed to be.
I'd really like to sit down and have a beer with Kakko to hear the story about the Days of Grays to this upcoming album. The theme has changed so much, from total darkness to this cheerier "life is great" type of thing. I bet it would make an interesting story.
Great song.
Good joob Sonata Arctica Very nice Bravo
one of best bands of every times
Beautiful song :3
Yes, this is so much better than Closer To An Animal. Hopefully this is more reflective of the upcoming album's quality.
Wow, I can not stop listening to, as well as all other songs, I identify with all!
Why can I not get enough of this song? It is just so freaking beautiful and uplifting! And very poignant when you get news that your favourite cousin is suicidal and he just lost his best friend in a car accident.
Demasiado pero demasiado hermosa esta canción , me hace vibrar los sentidos
no me importa lo que digan en este video. para mi es fabuloso... Sin duda es mi banda favorita
sonata son lo mejor :')
They always produce excellent music.Finland - the capital of modern metal. Sonata,Nightwish,The 69 Eyes, HIM,Korpiklanni, Bodom etc....prove is in the pudding.
Omniun gatherum, ensiferum
ok the first single grew on me.. and I feel this song will as well as I like it more on the 2nd playthrough.. I think this new album is going to be awesome
Todo lo que Sonata Arctica produce, es de sentarse a escuchar... cerrar los ojos y soñar! La canción está bellísima!!!
Totalmente de acuerdo,nada mas que añadir
Thanks for that song, Sonata ♡
They still got it, baby!
