VILLE: Favourite song is the wrong expression. It's a special song. We haven't composed a ballad like this yet. There aren't these hard guitar riffs, it is really soft. It's interesting to deal with such things, but faster songs suit us better.
TOTP: Must love songs always be ballads?
VILLE: No, but ballads base on stories. This song deals about a dead love. That’s why we weren't surprised that it became a ballad. Ballads are breakable, like love.
TOTP: What does "sin" mean in this song?
VILLE: "Sin" symbolizes the irresolution, the bad behaviour towards himself – not the sin in the religious sense. I deal with people who don’t know what to do with their lives. Who die because of their self-pity and who complain about everything but never have the idea to take charge of their lives themselves. There are too many of them! I'm angry about that!
