From Russia with Love & BB Visit

I am SO DEAD!

I have slept 5 hours the last too nights and now I am finally sitting on my sofa at home (the comfortable one) with a glass of wine. As soon as I have this thing written, I will dive into my bed under the huge blanket and never come out.

But let's get to the reasons of being tired….

We flew to St. Petersburg on Friday with the guys to play our very first shows in Russia ever. We had heard that the audiences there are really cool and that they treat the bands very well so the atmosphere was great from the take off. We also had a 2-month break with playing full shows and therefore we also had been waiting for these shows probably more than ever before. The flight left at 6 something in the morning and I just wasn't able to sleep the whole night before. The same happened to Jukka and also to Karri (Guitar tech) and Aki (Light tech) and we must have looked very presentable as we landed in Russia. We knew there would be a huge customs mess with all the equipment we were traveling with but luckily the local promoter had arranged a warm bus for us for the hour or something we had to wait for our guitars and stuff to get their stamps to enter the country.

After the check we went straight to bed for two hours before the interviews with Russian MTV and others and some meet and greet winners. You know when you only have a short nap, you're kind of half sleep the whole evening. Still it's amazing how the adrenaline wakes you up before the show and it was just as great as the other Finnish bands had told us. Very loud and they took part in singing the whole way. It was the first show there and we really didn't know what to expect, but the club was full and the night was perfect for us.

The next day the wakeup was at 3pm (!!!) so that helped a little for the off day. I went shopping with our record company guy Mikko and finally found the new lap top bag I have been looking for for ages. We also got the Sunrise Avenue CD and track number four, the first single was called FairyTABLE Gone Bad;=) Russian version. We flew to Moscow late in the evening just to get a good sleep before the next show day.

The club B1 in Moscow was bigger and it was probably the coolest rock club I have ever been to. Very cool indeed. We had a pretty busy day with interviews and meet&greets but since there were 5 guys doing it together, it was fun. We learned how to say "I am a jumping Frog" in Russian but I can't write it here since I don't know the Russian alphabets. There had been false information in some of the tickets saying that the show time is 8 and in some tickets it said at 9. It was quite annoying to keep the crowd waiting but what can you do. Sorry for the delay & thanx for the patience, wasn't our fault. We could have started much earlier.

The show was just fantastic again. And Raul became the new leader of Volvo Russia fan club (Sorry, stupid insider).

Ouh, and after the sound check we made a quick visit to the red square. You must do that if you are in Moscow. Actually I'm sure Moscow and also St. Petersburg are really nice in the summer. In winter it's quite much like Helsinki, dirty snow and stuff everywhere, but I am so sure it's very cool in the summer.

We were supposed to go to sleep right after the show to be fresh in Germany the next day at the Big Brother house. Nope ;=) We had the after party of our lives at Karri's room with the whole band and crew and even my little brother joined us. He was there at the show with my mom. Mom went to bed. Some of the crew guys and my brother (of course) went to the streets of Moscow in the night to buy Vodka and other drinks. They came back with bags full of stuff and the outcome was us guys wrestling and having half serious fights. It still hurts everywhere ;=)

The walls of the room were mostly there in the morning when we left the hotel but I am sure some sort of an invoice will follow us later on. Tuomas (Monitor tech) crashed his head through the WALL when the battled with Aki. Boys…

So… I slept for 2 hours at the hotel in Moscow. I didn't really have a hangover but I was so tired. And I knew that millions of Germans would watch me on TV at the BB house. It made me sweat.

Luckily we had time for a shower when we got to Köln, but then it was pretty hectic. We met some competition winners and media before the TV show and we did some photo sessions too. Then they took us to the roof next to the garden area of the BB house and we performed our Schlager "Choose to be me" for the BB guys. And then I finally entered the house…..

I was carrying two baskets full of Finnish beer and a bag full of our CD's and shirts. The entrance was dead dark before the "Big Brother" opened the door for me. The inhabitants didn't know about my visit and all I could say to present myself was yelling "Merry Christmas" in German, of course.

The time just stopped. The house Читать далее...

I look to the sky
the sun has faded away
the moonlight shines down on me
the gods play their symphonies
I feel so lost I fall on my knees
I think about times that used to be

when we danced just you and me
I cant't find the right words to say
I don't know how to say goodbye
Here...here I am...life is bright...
...There's no sorrow...nothing can stop us...
...Showed us hope....Angel of my forest...
...Saw my perfect...in my own soul.. death is unfair...that's real pain...
...Remoun you...I'm almost dead...
...I've...I've lost my hope...
...My...my will to live...
...My last farewell...forever...all alone...

In my eyes you see no pride
In my eyes you see no light
In my eyes you see a tear
In my eyes you see my fear
In my eyes you see my love
In my eyes you see no plight
In my eyes you see my hate
In my eyes you see my fate

Forever all alone
