Was born in 88. Loved them since I was 18. Thank you James for introducing me to them. We had good times at PK Lake. Burn bright and shine on everyone 🎩
I am 26 years old, I missed this group for a long time, but I realized that I start listening to it from morning on repeat until evening. After all, I almost missed the genius of each track of this band.
I just got Brandon Novak's book and in it he talks about how Ville Vallo asked him why he turned to drugs and he told him "Heroin was my only companion. I was killing loneliness." Turned into such a powerful song. My 23 year old cousin died back in December 2022 due to his addiction.
When I discovered this song, I associated it with my girlfriend at the time, idk how she took it, but we didn't work out, and I don't think she took it the way I meant it. I had also attributed it to some of my friends over the years, isn't that what we all do? We have people and things in our lives to distract from the loneliness we would feel otherwise.. but, ya.. none of those people are currently in my life and I conclude that HIM, or even VV music has been MY only true companion
9 and 26 It's been 16 long years since that magnificent afternoon my (back then) favorite music channel premiered Wings of the Butterfly, it was my point of no return
Gosh, HIM were my favourite band when I was 14/15. I'm 25 now and loving heavy metal. But hearing HIM again recently brought back so many great memories, miss this band. Ville Valo has and forever will have a beautiful voice
No, i mend that my statement was a joke:)))) I like heavy riffs allso: Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Van Halen, Helloween, Accept of course, Black Sabbath etc...But melodies won't do any harm to a song:))))
I was 15 years old when I first heard this song. Now I'm nearly 29 and it's still my favourite. Thank you for being with me at my hardest and happiest times with your music, I will dance to this song at my wedding too. Thank you Ville 🖤
HIM never gets old for me, I’ve been a fan since i was just a young lad.i was always embarrassed to listen to this stuff in front of anyone but now They’re Possibly my favourite band of all time
@@malik87breaker they have been around since 1991 but stop being a band in 2017 so they have been around for years even if they have only have release only a few albums , most of the time would have been taken up by touring
I’m 16 and I found out about this band from a friend and it’s so crazy that a lot of ppl listened when they were young in the 2000s now they are my favorite band
To be honest I discovered them recently and I see H.I.M are great musicians and Ville's voice is beautiful and he knows to work with it. Take care ,all the best
I only recently discovered the band HIM because I only started listening to music on RU-vid six months ago. And lo and behold, it was love at first listen 😃Their songs touch my heart and make me happy. Thank you 👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🇨🇿
The story behind this song is actually about heroin. He had a friend who was using and he asked why he was using and he said that it “kills his loneliness” so he decided to make a song about it.
Memories, sharp as daggers Pierce into the flesh of today Suicide of love took away all that matters And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me, Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Nailed to the cross, together As solitude begs us to stay Disappear in the lie forever And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me, Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Killing loneliness With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me
My ex gf’s son always had a habit of getting on my PC without permission. I’ll never forget the night in late 06 when I came home from work, shook the mouse & pulled my PC outa sleep mode. On the screen was RU-vid. The video paused was “Killing Loneliness”. I almost exited it out. Given the type of music this kid was listening (Akon, Shaggy, Eminem) I had good reason. However, for some reason I clicked “play”. Within seconds I was over joyed that this kid who was listening to garbage had found interest in music! I rifled through everything I could find.. Funeral of Hearts, Wings of a Butterfly, the Sacrament, Pretending.. I’m thinking “where the fuck have I been? These guys are amazing!” I discovered within an hour or so that Bam Marjera had pulled them into the American spotlight in 04-05. So I didn’t feel that far behind. I also found a new respect for Bam Marjera & was actually glad that this kid had started watching him on MTV. The next day I took him to Bestbuy. We bought Darklight. Later I went ham on ITunes & downloaded every HIM album in their catalog. I’ve seen them live 4 times since 07. Twice at house of blues in SC, Projekt Revolution & finally during the Tears on Tape tour where I finally met Valo by the band’s tour bus in Greensboro, NC. So from time to time I come back to this video. Albeit not the original & fairly better quality, it still brings back some fine memories. Btw, I was 36yrs old when I discovered HIM. They’ve been my fav band ever since. Me & my ex gf broke up in 09. I’m married with two young boys now. My current wife’s son from her previous marriage listens to tee total shit ( Travis Scott & the like). My heart swells with joy when my 8yr old looks at him and says “ your music sucks!”
I’m 32. I like this story and am a fan of HIM, but don’t appreciate the need to put down other artists. It’s fine to have our own tastes but there’s no need to hate on others. And I would suggest listening to “Yosemite” by Travis Scott, and see if you still think he’s total shit after 😉.
Oh god I'm now the same age that Ville was when this was made and I feel so old because I remember being a teenager with a huge crush on him. Now I'm a grown-ass woman with a career in medicine, a husband, a mortgage and a kid, and I still have a crush on Ville Valo.
he's been with (and engaged to) a plethora of models. I think part of being a hopeless romantic is that sometimes you fall in love with love itself more so than people...
I’m so glad my parents taught me to listen to this music, I will forever love this, no matter what happens, no matter how much I might change, this owns my heart
В 2006 году услышал песню из их альбома dark light и вот уже 2024 , и я все до сих пор слушаю и получаю удовольствие. Киллинг лоуленессс . Убивает мое одиночество! ❤
Showed my son this song the other day and he called it “weird”. I told him some day soon he’ll understand sad boy emo love songs like I did when I was around his age… he’s only 12
perhaps try some upgraded versions of emo ☠️🤘☠️🤘 all VERY emotional songs and genres. HIGHLY recommend. helps take the edge off, if needed. best wishes friend. i hope you like them. ❤️ draconian, sleepwalkers (gothic doom) evanescence, hello ( gothic symphonic) clouds, if these walls could speak (funeral doom) none, damp chill of life (depressive suicidal black metal) saturnus, i long. (funeral doom genre) frowning, murdered by grief (funeral doom) sadness, the rain that falls alone (dsbm)
We all remember where we come from. That's powerful meaning to us as individuals and not something any of our own friends today cannot feel or understand. Music throughout periods of my life always remind me of who I once was as a growing person for what I was learning and experiencing at the time.
How could I ever forget this beautiful band. OMG .. hearing this for the first time after 15 or so years..Memories just flooded my entire soul . I got chills with the nostalgia. I saw them May 2006 in STL. They played this song . I fell in love with them spring 2005. All my friends & I loved them sooo much back then. My AIM screen name was Heartagram69H .. LoL... I saw them twice. The Dark Light tour was my 2nd time seeing them in concert . My mom & her boyfriend (at the time) gave me & my friends all a ride to this concert in our Explorer & blasted the CD on the way . We had the best time. My mom saw them with us that time. She loved their cover of Wicked Game. They'll forever have a special place in my heart . Man.. does this make me miss my old friends & my mom so much ... It's like I lost everything from that time but this beautiful album can deliver just about the clearest versions of my Jr.High memories .
Going on an old school nostalgia trip in search of all the bands that made me goth. HIM was first on my list. HIM isn't even credited as a Gothic rock band, yet I gained so much insight into the Goth world through them and their fans. Without HIM I would not be goth today. Ok I lie, I would be, but I certainly wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am as a goth if they never existed
We always classed them as a love metal band not gothic, but they do have a gothic side. At the time for us the gothic thing was cradle of filth, 69 eyes, mandragora scream, Wednesday 13, murderdolls and manson and way to many more to name
Haha!!! I used to say that about Daniel Ash from Bauhaus and then on to Love and Rockets. When I saw the Bauhaus Reunion in 1998 I was propped in front of Daniel Ash on ground level looking up to him the whole concert. With my wife watching me from the next level up knowing. Its OK for him to be Gay now.We already had know each other for 15 years. A little Gay is OK!!!!
Can we just take a moment of silence for this kind of music ...it will never exist again..Its so sad and heartwrenching ...thinking about it i am sad i never went to their concert but happy that i know their music and memories it brings back are beautiful .Thank you for that
Knowing now what he wrote it for,makes all the difference and yet no difference because it’s still the one I feel the most. I loved this band and VV Neon Noir.
HIM was my all time fave band when I was in high school so fast forward now I’m almost 31 and I’m deciding to listen to them again so many great memories and love the fact Kat Von D is in this music video 🙌🥰♥️
Yeah me too always will be my favorite band they helped me thro alot as a young teen growing up im 26 and still go thro alot but in middle school and high school they helped save my life
Heard this song for the first time back in 2009, and until now (2022) it is still one of my favourite HIM songs. Don't think I will stop listening to this masterpiece.
Since they announce their last tour and they are breaking up I am so sad and jamming all their songs. I loved HIM for the past 10 years. Heartagram tattoo and lyrics on my body. I love you Ville for that beautiful voice
daniela cordova, please marry me and we can listen to him all the time. fuck the marriage, just be mine forever baby :( ill be a flatliner for a heartkiller :(
Daniela Cordova my husband knows how die hard I am for HIM. He surprised me with concert tickets as a Christmas present for me when I was sure we weren't going
I once fell deeply in love with the most beautiful girl who showed me this song, thanks to her i can listen to this amazing band.. it's painful and joyful all at once because it reminds me of the intense powerful chemistry we had. A love that is rare... so rare.. and so instense... that years later i still can't forget it. i have tried but it always.. somehow finds me. Only those of you who have had such intense love will understand. It's crazy how powerful a peice like this can do to ones soul
Esta banda nunca debió dejar de existir! 2022 - 15 años después la escucho y vuelvo en el tiempo. Los mejores de su género. Además aparece Kat Von D, me encanta esta canción.
Ville Valo presenta una nueva gira por Europa y EEUU que anuncia en su canal oficial de Heartagram: VV NEON NOIR TOUR 2023: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DH4Id2XPrSE.html
Incredible. I’ve been in live with HIM and know every song by heart - including this one. But never saw this video! Never during these 13 years since it was released. April 2020, still adore the band ❤️
This song, along with a few others from Dark Light, has been etched into my soul since I first heard it. Right alongside the name of my true love for whom it reminds me of. Almost two decades. I will never not listen to this song.
Полюбила их лет в 14, а сейчас мне 28 и я, до сих пор их люблю!песни очень,очень красивые и очень дороги моей душе!жаль, что закончила группа свое существование 😓
I'ts almost the last day of august of 2021. This is still one of my favorite HIM ballads, miss them so much as I always going to do it. Ville's voice was a great support during my worst period of depression.
The Scandinavian main God Odin used to come from time to time on earth as a human being ,with the most beautiful features and the most beautiful things inside. I really think that Ville Hermanni Valo is ODIN in human shape!!!
Havent listened to this song for a while, but it still warms my heart to hear it, brings back wonderful memories an thanks for always being there to kill loneliness with me. Still here in 2024 never left 🖤🖤
