The second demo-recording or, as a matter of fact, several dozens of them ended up in a Japanese record shop DiskHeaven, and through them Dreamtale got the attention of local metalheads. The excitement that followed resulted in several foreign record labels offering various kinds of recording deals. The biggest independent label in Japan contacted Spinefarm in the Autumn of 2001 and informed them of their willing to license Dreamtale’s album in Japan. And after people in Finland followed suit with Japan, Dreamtale and Spinefarm signed a contract in December 2001.
In 2002, the band’s debut Beyond Reality was released. Vocals were sung by Rami Keränen, Sanna Natunen and also the man known from bands like Nightwish & Tarot – Marco Hietala.
Next year, 2003, saw the Publishing of Ocean’s Heart. On this album the vocalist was Tomi Viiltola, but unfortunately the band and Tomi parted ways due to a problematic 400km distance. Ocean’s Heart-album also features the singing talent of Rainer Nygård from Diablo.
After that, in 2004, the band took a break, concentrating on writing new material and recording the third album.
In 2005, Difference appeared. The Japanese bonus track “Powerplay” was released as a single, which immediately went number 9 on the official single chart in Finland. On this album the vocals were sung by Jarkko Ahola, who is no stranger to Finnish metal fans.
Now we are in the dawn of a new age, the 4th album "Phoenix", released in Europe through Motley Ltd., in Japan/Thailand/Korea through Marquee / Avalon and in Russia through Fono Ltd. New members bring New Life, yet holding on to the Memories of Time, because they are not Yesterday's News! ‘The Tale’ is moving onwards, spreading its wings and rising high in the heavy-metal heavens.

New Life
Dreamtale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to let the new winds blow
Let's forget the past - That has truly gone too fast.
Here we are just you and me
With the time we've never seen
There is so much to learn - This is the next big turn
We can lift eachother higher and higher
Like a butterfly we will - Live a new life
[Chorus:]
Between earth and sky, we all live and we all die
Ask the Moon or ask the Sun, There's only one life to live
As a pair (together) we're better (stronger) than we know
Like a New Life (yea)
This is a fine day like any other day
To make that pushing move
That makes a difference - Takes closer to the change.
Here we are just you and me - Together we are free
There is so much to see - Much more we can be
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
The song "New Life" by Dreamtale is a powerful ode to embracing change and moving forward. In the beginning, the singer urges his companion to take his hand and let new winds blow, putting the past behind them. They stand together, facing an uncertain future but excited about the possibilities. The lyrics encourage them to embrace new experiences and learn from them, as this next phase of their lives is a 'big turn' that they can navigate together.
The metaphor of a butterfly is used in the bridge, alluding to transformation and the beauty that can come from breaking free from a cocoon. The focus is on how the two can lift each other up and support each other as they start this new chapter. The chorus reinforces the idea that life is fleeting and unpredictable, and that they should take advantage of every moment they have. The repetition of the words "new life" throughout the song provide a sense of hope and excitement for the future.
