Well these songs are about a man who has suffered for his love towards nature in a society (the town, the mountain) that exploits the nature, in the first song he decides to burn the town down, second part is where the town was first rebuilt, but their way of life hadn't changed a bit so he returns to burn it again. The final part is where he realizes that humanity will remain the same as the town did, never learning from it's mistakes. He decides to burn the whole world.
1st one has an insane nostalgia value + I love it for being just simple, fast-paced, kick ass powermetal with great lyrics. 2nd has one of the greatest intros ever, I really love how Tony composed a similar melody to this. THIS is what you call a worthy sequel, great lyrics and awesome melody. 3rd Holy Shit. Possibly the most angry SA song to date, but for a good reason. Greatest lyrics of the saga, but it doesn't match the melodies of its prequels, except for the part they use as intro.
05:15 One day when you least expect it, during a party or harvest festival, a man, not quite a man, yet not quite a beast, will walk up the road and join with his family, the nature. Unless humanity has found harmony before that… you all will perish. "Hello."
I get that people get their own ideas from art but I want to know how you get the planet wiew. I myself get the wiew that the storyteller is somehow abused by the wildfire town so he ended it and the last two are his ponderings of it (propably while he is getting executed since the drums in the beginning of the WF2 sounds alot like execution drums)
awesome! simply awesome! all of 3 are fantastic Songs, but the second Part, oh c'mon i love it, the sound, the atmosphere, the Lyrics! when at the end Tony say "one with the mountain" my soul vibrates
Amo las tres partes ya que cada una es única, Tony siempre trata de hacer algo nuevo y no encerrarse en el mismo ritmo, es lo que mas amo de el :D puedo escuchar toda su discografía sin aburrirme.. todo es diferente :D
^^^ Exacto. De hecho veo a Tony como un vino. Al principio puede que no te guste el disco nuevo pero con el tiempo le encontraras el gusto y te alegraras que haya hecho algo diferente.
Cool idea bro, I'd LOVE to see these as a film! On the other hand though, Tony has written these songs in a way that allows people to understand them in their own, personal way. Maybe it's best if we make the movies inside our heads and don't let any director ruin our imaginated scenarios of these masterpieces! Tony gave us a great amount of imagination fuel when he wrote and composed these, making them visual could ruin everything :/
I'm glad someone did this. Unfortunately, the lag of my laptop fucks the audio quality very easily. I have to turn off everything else to get it to play smoothly.
Wildfire es de Reckoning Night Wildfire II y III son de Stones grow her name Muy buenas las ultimas 2, pero la primera parte es insuperable. Alguien me podria decir de que trata la historia?
Yes, they are, but wildfire 2 is my favourite of them. On a scale from 1 to 100, W2 marks 100 points while the other two marks 99.8 for me. However if you take them together you get a brilliant work. What a story you can write from this songs!!
To all that people saying 'what happened with the old sonata?' I answer: I liked, I like and I'll always like sonata. I think both the 'old' songs and the newest songs sound awesome. No matter what you'll say. A toda esa gente diciendo 'Qué pasó con la vieja Sonata?' contesto: Me ha gustado, me gusta y siempre me gustará Sonata Arctica. Creo que tanto las 'viejas' canciones como las más nuevas són geniales, no me importa lo que digáis.
I at least like a lot their every single song! Rest are more loving and adoring XP Been a fan since I heard the "The End of this Chapter", which was the very first song I heard from them. X3 Me getting easily bored with the same old same old, their on going experiences with new styles I find very positive thing! I think I won't ever be able to stop listening their songs. X33 And the band name couldn't be any more fitting! X3
The End Of This Chapter, Don't Say A Word, Caleb, and Juliet. Or, in a more chonological order, Caleb, The End Of This Chapter, Don't Say A Word, Juliet.
Its tough, really it is. I like Part 1 and 2 and 3. Theres no way I can choose a favourite. (I seriously sat here for like 10 minutes trying to pick one but I couldnt)
1 is just amazing and oldschool how I loved sonata. Really like 3 as well! It´s my favorite band and I dont like all their work but they are still amazing
I love you man. Also, note that it's a progression, so it totally makes sense to change melodies anyway. Just a bit/in some parts, so you can still recognise it. Also 3rd is next to 2nd in the CD. :D
That won't work lol. Sorry for spamming, btw. So paste that link like I've told you and then go to Features on that site and there it is on the second page. It's called Sonata Arctica - Replacing the Blank File
"Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals has exploited the environment to produce food for an ever increasing population. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it is time we control the population to allow the survival of the environment." That's definitely an interesting way to look at things...I view these songs entirely differently after hearing those words at the end of Part 3
hey, the band used a software for the speech in the end, it's available for the Mac OS, does anyone know the name of the program? I need it for a project and I want put that same speech.
I think i understand the general meaning: we get burned (1), the warnings of returning (2), the revenge (3). but could anyone explain better/ correct me?

oh gosh after years i come back to this and one with the mountain still gives me the chills
05:15 One day when you least expect it, during a party or harvest festival,
a man, not quite a man, yet not quite a beast, will walk up the road and
join with his family, the nature. Unless humanity has found harmony before
that… you all will perish.
"Hello."
Part I rules them all ^^ Speed-metal, and fantastic singing and arrangement!
Definitely my favourite part aswell, but part 2 is also awesome in it's own way !
One with the mountain
0:00 Part I
4:38 Part II
12:30 Part III
You are Welcome
the mastery of poetry is strong here, an excellent trilogy of songs with a powerful message, and people wonder why i love these guys
La gente dice gustarle mas una parte en especifica, yo amo las tres partes por igual como una sola Master Piece que cuenta una excelente historia
I love how these songs are a metaphor to our planet. Realizing this, I got even more powerful chills. :)
I get that people get their own ideas from art but I want to know how you get the planet wiew.
I myself get the wiew that the storyteller is somehow abused by the wildfire town so he ended it and the last two are his ponderings of it (propably while he is getting executed since the drums in the beginning of the WF2 sounds alot like execution drums)
00:00 Part 1
04:38 Part 2
12:30 Part 3
Part 1 is still my all time favorite Sonata Arctica song.
awesome! simply awesome!
all of 3 are fantastic Songs, but the second Part, oh c'mon i love it, the sound, the atmosphere, the Lyrics!
when at the end Tony say "one with the mountain" my soul vibrates
Dear God, I can't decide which is my favorite at all. They're freaking spectacular, all of them.
I love the intro of Wildfire II. Very cool.
The transition between Wildfire into One With The Mountain sent chills up my spine, despite how simple it was.
Amo las tres partes ya que cada una es única, Tony siempre trata de hacer algo nuevo y no encerrarse en el mismo ritmo, es lo que mas amo de el :D puedo escuchar toda su discografía sin aburrirme.. todo es diferente :D
Iza Cruz Finalmente alguien que comprende que no se puede estar siempre encerrado en el mismo ritmo, Bien!
^^^ Exacto. De hecho veo a Tony como un vino. Al principio puede que no te guste el disco nuevo pero con el tiempo le encontraras el gusto y te alegraras que haya hecho algo diferente.
La unica banda de Power Metal que mas amo en el mundo...
Agree since 1995 they have never bored me with one of their songs
Am I the only one who LOVES all these wildfire songs?
No but you are surely adorable 🍷
I like this type of meatal where they kinda give a story to it
Me too. It's my favorite really.
Cool idea bro, I'd LOVE to see these as a film! On the other hand though, Tony has written these songs in a way that allows people to understand them in their own, personal way.

All 3 songs are masterpieces.
Part I is the one and only for me...
I'm glad someone did this. Unfortunately, the lag of my laptop fucks the audio quality very easily. I have to turn off everything else to get it to play smoothly.
Looks like SA did put many ''easter eggs'' inside this trilogy, thanks for pointing out ;)
Yes and he even got 2 solo albums which are pretty good stuff to check out :)
me quede con las ganas de estas 3 canciones en el concierto, ¡espero volverlos a ver y que al menos toquen una!
Wildfire es de Reckoning Night
Wildfire II y III son de Stones grow her name
Muy buenas las ultimas 2, pero la primera parte es insuperable.
Alguien me podria decir de que trata la historia?
I did. A totally awesome detail :) Now, let's find what does deathaura do in here!
Yes, they are, but wildfire 2 is my favourite of them. On a scale from 1 to 100, W2 marks 100 points while the other two marks 99.8 for me.
However if you take them together you get a brilliant work. What a story you can write from this songs!!
I love the story of the stalker and how he continues to crop up and reveal more of his story (and his father in Celab)...
Guys, lyrics are updated. Check the description, thanks.
I think part || is amazing
To all that people saying 'what happened with the old sonata?' I answer: I liked, I like and I'll always like sonata. I think both the 'old' songs and the newest songs sound awesome. No matter what you'll say.
A toda esa gente diciendo 'Qué pasó con la vieja Sonata?' contesto: Me ha gustado, me gusta y siempre me gustará Sonata Arctica. Creo que tanto las 'viejas' canciones como las más nuevas són geniales, no me importa lo que digáis.
It's called life and getting older, priorities changing. A lot metal fans fear change. Sad actually.
I love em all! Just love Sonata in general :D
I at least like a lot their every single song! Rest are more loving and adoring XP Been a fan since I heard the "The End of this Chapter", which was the very first song I heard from them. X3 Me getting easily bored with the same old same old, their on going experiences with new styles I find very positive thing! I think I won't ever be able to stop listening their songs.

The End Of This Chapter, Don't Say A Word, Caleb, and Juliet. Or, in a more chonological order, Caleb, The End Of This Chapter, Don't Say A Word, Juliet.
part 1 is the best, what happend to the "Reckoning Night" Sonata Arctica that I knew and loved? D':
Ah. They got old.
I'll always prefer Part I, as it was my first Sonata Arctica song and the song that made me fall in love with them.
Epic... dont need more words.. just EPIC :)
I love all three
Its tough, really it is. I like Part 1 and 2 and 3. Theres no way I can choose a favourite. (I seriously sat here for like 10 minutes trying to pick one but I couldnt)
Would really like to see a media production of this story of some sort in a movie or anime or even a video game.
Love all three of them...
Wildifre 2 is a masterpiece for me.
The beginning, wtf! Is this Heath Ledger rehearsing in 2004 for a future Joker role?
1 is just amazing and oldschool how I loved sonata. Really like 3 as well! It´s my favorite band and I dont like all their work but they are still amazing
Part I forever.
They're going to be in Tolmin in summer! q_q I am SO going!
Part I and Part III - mindblowing ! \mXm/
the part at 16:27 reminds me so much of the "in the cool of the night air..." part in deathaura
The part I is the best, but i love the intro in part II
Wildfire (1) is on Reckoning Night album :)
I love you man. Also, note that it's a progression, so it totally makes sense to change melodies anyway. Just a bit/in some parts, so you can still recognise it. Also 3rd is next to 2nd in the CD. :D
capolavoro!
I love the second one:P
En Bogotá este 8 de marzo, iré gustoso :D!
i totally love wildfire III....one of my favorite of S.G.H.N *_*
Hmmm, love all three parts! :D
that would be awesome!
III is my favourite but I and II are amazing too
Thumbs up, those who noticed that the distorted voice in Pt. 3 is exactly the same as the one in Steve Vai's Fire Garden album.
soy de México y soy nuevo escuchando Sonata Arctica me gustaria ver subtitulada esta cancion se oye buena
All three are fucking AMAZING.
Not many do:P Its released on "Stones Grow Her Name" About one or 2 months ago:P
I didn't know there are two more parts! XD
my god, its like getting seven songs in 3
0:00 4:36 Wildfire I
4:38 12:30 Wildfire II
12:31 20:23 Wildfire III
:)
Bravo!!
That won't work lol. Sorry for spamming, btw. So paste that link like I've told you and then go to Features on that site and there it is on the second page. It's called Sonata Arctica - Replacing the Blank File
Wildfire III is my favourite \mXm/
I and III !!!!
i prefer one, but two and three are good too. ;D
i haven't got the lyric of part 2 and 3 yet, but will update as soon as I get them
III part much better than other. Especially - simple piano part in beginning.
That's what i like to hear.
en que album vienen estos cortes ?
powerfull songs powerfull album powerfull band i have nothing to write
A parte I tem mais a cara do Sonata Arctica q eu gosto, o dos tempos antigos.
the second part is the best
Nothing can beat wildfire from rekoning night, nothing..
"Are we forced to obey?" I wish that the certain invading army would think this question carefully.
LOVE
"Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals has exploited the environment to produce food for an ever increasing population.

Part I is a masterpiece! But part II and III are kind of inconsistent. I don't know...
"Wildfire's"? :) I am listening to this on HTC Wildfire S :)
I read it in an interview. Lemme try to find it
@pipanakakka: you are totally right :-)
So damn beautiful \m/
hey, the band used a software for the speech in the end, it's available for the Mac OS, does anyone know the name of the program?
I need it for a project and I want put that same speech.
reckoning night
So... did Wildfire 2 perform retcons, or did I just miss the plot of Wildfire 1?
I think i understand the general meaning: we get burned (1), the warnings of returning (2), the revenge (3). but could anyone explain better/ correct me?
Amaszasing. Trully is :)
good
Reckoning Night
I and II, III doesn't really frost my flakes...
Run!! The mountain is coming for us!! Run home, kids, while you still have homes :D
Que paso con sonata :'( no hacen la misma musica, el Wildfire 2 y 3 no parecen de sonata
Part 1 is on another album, can't remember which.
Reckoning night
