My Top Ten Favorite Songs by HIM

HIM has been my favorite music artist for a while now, and this list is basically a compilation of my favorite songs of his.

1. Wings of The Butterfly

This song easily takes my top spot. It's one of his newer songs released on the new album Dark Lights, and shows that HIM produces music that is truly amazing. This is actually the first song I heard that really brought me into HIM's music. From this song out, I went on a quest to buy every HIM album I could get a hold of. Sure, his old stuff isn't perfect, but it's what he's became that truly matters most.

2. Under The Rose

Yup, another song off of the Dark Lights album. It needs to be pointed out that in my opinion, this is one of the best albums ever produced in the history of music. Every song on it deserves my top spot. Under the Rose is a great song and has a feeling to it that really draws you in as you reach the end of the song.

3. Join Me In Death

I realize their are some reasons this song may not deserve so high of a spot, but this is where I truly see where HIM was beginning to establish the feelings he does so well today. The pianos in the background are somewhat chilling and draw me in every time. He also matches up the pitches in the signature way he does in his more modern songs. This song is actually a little bit old, considering it is off of his Razorblade Romance album.

4. The Sacrament

Straight from the awesome Love Metal album. The sacrament is probably one of his best uses of the dreary pianos he puts in some of his songs. I've listened to this song on more that one sad occasion and gotten just the right feelings from it that only HIM can deliver so well.

5. 666 Ways To Love

OK, so this isn't really all that great of a song. But if I'm not mistaken, it was HIM's true beginning and the single of their first album. It's good enough I would listen to it again, and it shows the time where HIM was just taking the first steps to becoming the masterpieces they are today.

6. Funeral Of Hearts

Another great song from the Love Metal album. This song really gets to me because its TRUE. Freakin' love is the funeral of hearts, and I dig this song every time chicks don't work out.

7. Heaven Tonight
