Тексты песен The 69 Eyes
Информация о артисте
The 69 Eyes — финская англоязычная рок-группа. В 1990 году в Хельсинки гитарист Бази и начинающий певец Юрки69 решают организовать свою группу. До сих пор Юрки сочиняет слова для песен, а Бази - музыку. Впоследствии к ним присоединились Тимо-Тимо (ритм-гитарист), Арчи (басист) и последним - Юсси69 (барабанщик). Свой жанр музыканты определяют как goth-n-roll, однако профессиональные критики, как правило, определяют стиль группы как глэм-готик-рок.
Дебютный альбом Bump'n'Grind, выпущенный на независимом лейбле Gaga goodies в 1992 году и выдержаный в стиле гаражного рока, не снискал значительной популярности. Два следующих альбома, Motor City Resurrection и Savage Garden, были немногим более успешны, второй альбом даже был издан в Японии. Качество звука претерпело значительные изменения, что касается стиля - именно в Motor City Resurrection впервые появились нотки глэм-рока.
В 1997 году продюсером The 69 Eyes стал Тимо Толкки, лидер Stratovarius. Под его руководством группа стала приобретать более широкую известность. В 1997 году выходит альбом Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams, который по звучанию можно охарактеризовать как тяготеющий к металлу. С альбомом Wasting the Dawn, посвященным памяти Джима Мориссона, The 69 Eyes все еще продолжают экспериментировать, музыка приобретает более мрачный, готический оттенок. Группа также использовала стилистику рок-н-ролла 50-х, вокалист Юрки начал подражать Элвису Пресли.
Группой заинтересовался Джонни Ли Майклс, который и продюсировал альбом Blessed be. Сингл с альбома, Gothic Girl, завоевал золотой статус в Финляндии. The 69 Eyes начали принимать участие в фестивалях готической музыки. В поддержку альбома группа провела тур по Германии совместно с Paradise Lost. Следующий альбом, Paris Kills, на несколько недель занял первую строчку чарта самых продаваемых альбомов в Финляндии. Тур в поддержку альбома завершился концертом в Хельсинки, на арене Тавастия, который был выпущен на DVD под названием Helsinki Vampires.
Перейдя на крупный лэйбл EMI Virgin records, группа выпустила свой наиболее успешный и популярный на данный момент альбом Devils. Альбом и сингл Lost Boys с него стали золотыми, а на песню Lost Boys был снят видеоклип, срежиссированный известным американским режиссером и шоуменом Бэмом Марджерой, который первым из клипов The 69 Eyes попал в постоянную ротацию на MTV. Группа впервые добилась известности за пределами Европы и совершила несколько концертов в США.
В 2007 году вышел альбом Angels - своего рода сиквел к предыдущему. В его поддержку группа совершила гастрольный тур, в том числе в марте 2007 побывав и в России.
В начале 2008 года вышел концертный альбом коллектива, записанный на одном из концертов тура по США в 2006 году, в Калифорнии. Альбом получил название "Hollywood Kills. Live At The Whisky A Go Go". The 69 Eyes были представлена на нём местной публике уже официально другом группы и любимцем американских "lost boys" Бэмом Марджерой. Примечательно, что песню "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams" Юрки69 посвятил именно ему.
В 2009 году выходит девятый полноформатный альбом «Васк in Blood», спродюсированный Мэттом Хайдом, обладателем премии Грэмми, известным по работе со Slayer и Monster Magnet. Он сделал ставку на мощный гитарный звук и хитовость. В лирике финны вернулись к излюбленной вампирской тематике.
В Европе «Back In Blood» занял 3 (Финляндия) и 32 (Германия) чарт-позиции, в Америке взлетел на 14 место в US Top New Artist Albums. Первым синглом была выпущена песня «Dead Girls Are Easy», вторым — «Dead N' Gone», режиссером клипов на которые вновь стал Бэм Марджера.
В начале 2012 года The 69 Eyes начали запись своего нового студийного альбома X. X был выпущен 28 сентября 2012 года в Европе и 9 октября 2012 года в США. Первым синглом с альбома стал "Red",на него так же был снят клип. Второй сингл - «Borderline». Оба сингла были доступны для прослушивания еще до выхода альбома. В феврале 2013 года, группа выпустила синглы "Love Runs Away" и "Tonight" одновременно через Itunes. "Tonight" был выпущен исключительно в Финляндии, в то время как "Love Runs Away" был выпущен по всему миру. В оба сингла включены две ранее неизданные треки, "Rosary Blue" и "Dracula's Castle".

The 69 Eyes originate from Helsinki, Finland. They became a band in the early 1990's and are nowadays labelled as "Gothic Rock" though their early releases were more of a glam/hard rock style.
1989 - 1999
Formed by a group of friends in the bars of Helsinki, Finland in the summer of 1989, a nod to illustrate the band's tight-knit friendship is that the lineup has stayed the same since creation. The band originally played glam metal inspired music, different from their current gothic rock style.
The band released their first 7 inch EP, "Sugarman", in 1990, followed by another 7 inch, "Barbarella" in 1991. These releases paved the way for the bands first album Bump 'n' Grind released in 1992 which contained some re-recorded versions of songs from the first 2 EP. This same year, the band released their final 2 7 inch EP's, titaled "Juicy Lucy" and "High Times Low Lives". In 1994 through a Japanese Label the band's second CD release was unleased, the compilation album "Motor City Resurrection". It has since been re-released with 8 bonus tracks worldwide. Though this release featured no new songs, it collected the majority of the bands early material and contributions to other compilations. It was followed in 1995 by Savage Garden which featured Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy on the track "Wild Talk". Also released during this time were 2 VHS tapes "Motor City Resurrection" and "Savage Tales" available only through the band's self-run fanclub which are seen rarely, if ever for sale online. In 1997, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, which fans generally mark as the last "glam" album before the milestone success of 1999's goth rock infused, Wasting the Dawn which was released internationally on Roadrunner Records and marked the band's major label debut. The album's hit single, the title track Wasting the Dawn lyrically paid tribute to The Doors' Jim Morrison and was released as a digipack CD, which is now a rare find for fans of the band. Jyrki 69 developed a concept video for this track which featured long-time friend and collaborator HIM member Ville Valo posing at a snowy cemetery as the ghost of Jim Morrison. This video was released on VHS in Finland featuring a behind the scenes feature, both the video and feature were later added as extras on the Helsinki Vampires DVD.
2000 - 2002
Spring of 2000 brought the single Gothic Girl which spent months on the Singles Top 10 and on Finnish nation radio playlists. It brought the band their first gold record.
