The idea was to put together a band which would play hi-octane stadium rock in the good old 80's way, sounding larger than life.

Firenote's first line-up was:
Ricky - Vocals
Hammond - Keyboard
Isko - Guitar
Gene - Bass
Johnny - Drums

With the line-up above Firenote made three demos and played several gigs across Finland.

In the end of 2007 it was time to let Johnny go. As soon as Mike was found, he replaced Johnny with his ultimate drumming skills.

At the beginning of 2008 IVK Music was interested in signing Firenote.
A record deal was signed in the summer 2008.

Recording the debute album started in the end of 2008 and the album will be released in May 2009.

Suddenly
Firenote Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sure - I could never fall in love again*
I was sure - that I was meant to flow down the drain

I was sure - that love wasn't made for my kind
Now I know - that it struck right from behind

I've been down that road before
A past I can't ignore

Here I am - got that feeling again

Suddenly you stand there looking
Straight into my heart
Suddenly the walls around me are falling apart

I was scared - that I would lose my grip of life
Petrified - to lose myself in love

Fell asleep behind my pain - trying to retain
Here I am - got that feeling again...
