Okay, so couple of weeks ago Blind Channel did an interview with Kaaoszine and they shared some fun little stories about a lot of their older songs, one of which was Darker Than Black.
So, what did Niko have to say about it?
Well.
This song they got into a competition for YleX, the winner of which got entered into their radio playlist. The winner was picked by popular vote. And they were up against Shiraz Lane.
And apparently Niko went and voted for Darker Than Black on every computer at the University of Oulu campus, because he was studying there at the time and so he could do that.
Blind Channel won and this was one of their bigger breaks early on as they got their music properly on the radio for it.
Bands I follow on Spotify with less than 500K listeners per month. I feel like it will be most of them. I will use the tag #<500K if you want to track along. I'll be doing 10 at a time.
if you want a prompt, maybe something with johnny and ls and/or the shiraz guys? could be vampires or werewolves or no au at all? it’s up to you!
You get witches celebrating Mabon because that pagan holiday actually happens this week on saturday
Hannes loved this time of year, the weather starting to turn colder and the leaves on the trees turning bright golds, oranges, and reds. The whole coven could feel the magic in the air around their large cottage as they prepared for Mabon. Jani, Taz, and Middy were all out in the garden bringing in their harvest for the week and picking some apples from their apple tree for Samy, Johnny, Joel Alex, and Miki to use to make some cider and make their feast for the holiday. Already the house smelled of cinnamon and other baked goods that their kitchen witches had made earlier that morning. Hannes was helping to put up their decorations and light candles for dinner. They had sent Arttu and Mirko out to pick some fresh flowers for them to display on the table while they ate. Ana startled Hannes out of his thoughts by hugging him from behind.
“What’s got you so lost in thought?” Ana hummed as Hannes turned in his arms for a proper hug
“Nothing,” Hannes smiled “Just thinking about how happy I am to have our coven and that we’re all together this year for Mabon.”
Ana smiled softly and nodded. It got hard sometimes with them all touring to celebrate their witch holidays together. They all knew it could get especially hard on Johnny as the only one who didn’t tour and couldn’t always spend time with at least part of the coven. More recently Middy had been home at the cottage all the time but he had also gone on tour with Lost Society to be close with more of their coven at times. But this year they didn’t have to worry about any of that and they were more than happy to give thanks to their goddess for that.
I get the feeling, I gotta get up
It's growing in me, but I try to hold on
Drowning in sickness
I can't get up from the floor
Ooh, a part of me is making it up
I wanna scream, but I keep it locked up
I wanna be free, I'm caught in the middle of a war
I can't silence the parasites
Why do they scream in my head?
The voices I hear are the enemy (enemy)
They feed on my pain
The vision I see of the enemy (enemy)
I'm stuck in this hole
I'm screaming alone
I'm suffocating, a panic attack (attack)
State of delusion beginning to crack (to crack)
I'm the disease, I'm lost in the dark without a cure
I can't silence the parasites
Why do they scream in my head?
The voices I hear are the enemy (enemy)
They feed on my pain
The vision I see of the enemy (enemy)
This can't be real
I don't wanna flee
The shadow of my enemy
I will be free
You best believe
I can't silence the parasites
Why do they scream in my head?
The voices I hear are the enemy (enemy)
They feed on my pain
The vision I see of the enemy (enemy)
Screaming in my head
They keep on feeding
Feeding on my pain, no more
I'm stuck in this hole
But I will not lose hope
Ain't screaming alone
No more
