Once a HIMster, always a HIMster

I am really excited for today! I was waiting for this concert for almost half a year and I cannot wait to see one of my favorite band, sadly for the last time.

What is weird for me, at least not so usual, is that I became a HIM fan not when I was ‘supposed’ to. They hit me later on, in my 20s, sophomore at the uni in summer holidays, in 2012 if I want to be precise. For sure, at that time HIM were not at their peak of their popularity and it felt being ‘out of the fashion’ to say I have a crush on them.

But HIM for me was something more than a band. I have been struck by their aesthetics, feeling that in some way, somehow there is a magical thing that only music can do, that I had a connection and I was being expressed. A feeling that I hadn’t felt for several years, for entering my adult life that romantic, desperate, melancholic voice of mine had been closed in a closet in a place so deep, that I had to dig for a thousand of years to access it again. At least this how I was thinking in those days until Mr.Valo made something that nobody around me, not even me could do that.

I cannot decide which of their songs is my favorite one, I do have though a favorite album and it is the ‘Venus Doom’. My most true and emotional moments though were triggered and accompanied by the ‘Cyanicide Sun’, ‘Love’s Requiem’, and ‘For You’. 

Thank you HIM for all these amazing 5 years that I spent with you. Your presence is really important for who I feel I am.

Its been like, fourteen years since that day I first heard Join Me, playing on the radio. It wasn't what I was hoping to hear, but from the second the piano started I was enraptured, and the moment I heard Ville Valo sing I was in love. I remember begging my mom for the Razorblade Romance album, I remember my dad always getting me Heartagram merch for any occasion that required a gift, many of which I still have. I saw them live two years later, I got a heartagram as my first tattoo another two years after that. I met my best friend thirteen years ago because we were the only two people in our entire highschool with HIM merchandise on, and she is still my best friend to this day. This music has been there for me through every moment of the past fourteen years, it enhanced all the really good times and was my safe haven through all the bad. When life beat me so hard I didn't think I could continue, the first thought that came to mind was how I needed to keep putting on a fight until the next album came out, because there was no way in hell I wasn't going to be around for a new HIM album. Fourteen years. I cried when I heard the news. I cried when I bought the tickets. I cried when they came in the mail in a plain little envelope. I cried when I heard that opening piano to Join Me because that song started it all for me. I have no idea what to do with myself now. Fourteen years. It's been one hell of a ride. Thank you for everything boys.
