Join Me


An open invitation to suicide or a gloomy version of Romeo and Juliet? When you come to think about it there’s not much difference between the two. Suicide (in the name of love) is the word you think of when you say Romeo and Juliet. This song is dealing with the same old theme. What’s relatively new is the approach to it. In Vile Valo’s vision to do ‘’the stupidest’’ things for the one you love is something natural, not a goddamn tragedy. We always fall in love with the ‘’wrong’’ person. So I don’t see either what’s so tragic in that. Too bad the public opinion sees just the tragedy of suicide and not the reality behind it. The truth is that there’s some depth in these lines, but the direct meaning of the words cannot just be ignored. ‘’How far would you go for a pair of tits?” That’s something that everybody has to decide for himself. Hopefully no one is that stupid to kill him/herself because of a song. Enjoy.
