Jari wrote this when he got tuberculosis and had to have part of his lung removed-
"20% of the time I spent in the army was really great and 80% was fucking bullshit and a waste of time. I guess the experience didn't affect me musically at all, but you never know, maybe in some subconscious level. I'm little bit bitter because I suspect that I got tuberculosis from the army that was discovered later on - actually too late. It got really bad and I needed to have an operation where they removed a part of my lung. I was hospitalized for months and it was a really dark time of my life. Actually, that is what the song "Beautiful Death" is about. So hey, maybe it did have some effect on me musically/lyrically after all. :)"
