1) HIM (sometimes stylized as H.I.M.) was a Finnish gothic rock band from Helsinki, Finland. Formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo and bassist Mikko "Mige" Paananen under the name His Infernal Majesty, the band broke up in 1993, before being reformed in 1995 by Valo and guitarist Mikko "Linde" Lindström. After being rejoined by Mige, as well as new additions keyboardist Antto Melasniemi and drummer Juhana "Pätkä" Rantala, the band, now called HIM, released their debut album Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 in 1997. In 2000, now with drummer Mika "Gas Lipstick" Karppinen and keyboardist Juska Salminen, the band released the album Razorblade Romance, which reached the number one spot in Finland, Austria and Germany. Their first single, "Join Me in Death", also charted at number one in Finland and Germany, eventually going platinum and gold respectively. Following the addition of Janne "Burton" Puurtinen on keyboards, HIM released Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights and Love Metal in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Both cracked the top ten in several countries, and allowed the band to tour the United Kingdom and the United States for the first time.
In 2005, HIM released Dark Light, which became the group's most commercially successful album to date, charting in fifteen countries. With Dark Light, HIM also became the first Finnish group to receive a gold record in the US. In 2007, HIM released Venus Doom, the making of which was marred by problems in Valo's personal life. Despite this, the album gave the band their highest chart position in the US at number twelve. After 2010's Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, HIM went on hiatus as drummer Gas Lipstick took medical leave. Following several months of uncertainty, the band regrouped and eventually released the album Tears on Tape in 2013. In 2015, Gas Lipstick announced his departure from the band to pursue other musical projects, and was subsequently replaced by Jukka "Kosmo" Kröger. On 5 March 2017, HIM announced that the band would be disbanding following a farewell tour in 2017. The band played their final show on New Year's Eve 2017 as a part of their annual Helldone Festival.
HIM is one of the most commercially successful Finnish bands of all time, with sales of over ten million records. The band have released eight studio albums, five compilations, three video releases, and two box sets, along with one live and one remix album. HIM has also received numerous accolades, including eight Emma Awards.
Critics have referred to the music of HIM as gothic rock, gothic metal, alternative rock, alternative metal, and dark rock. The band themselves have referred to their music as "love metal", the title of their fourth studio album. According to Ville Valo, the term "love metal" was coined as a response to people having difficulties categorizing their music.
A central of part of HIM's image has been the heartagram. The heartagram is the trademarked symbol of the band, which was created by vocalist Ville Valo on his twentieth birthday in 1996. A combination of a heart and a pentagram, the heartagram is meant to represent the juxtaposition of "the soft and the hard, the male and the female, the yin and the yang" according to Valo. Musically the heart is also meant to represent the softer side of the band, while the pentagram symbolizes their heavier influences. This juxtaposition was also prevalent in the band's album titles. On their first album, HIM used a heart with "666" inside it as their logo, which Valo later felt was "a bit boring". The heartagram was first predominantly used on the cover of HIM's 2003 album Love Metal, and has since appeared on numerous releases from the band. Valo has later stated that the heartagram "is probably the best thing I've ever come-up with", and that it's "worth a lot more than money" and is "bigger than our band". The heartagram has also made several appearances on TV, including Charmed, LA Ink, Viva La Bam, and Criminal Minds.
2) HiM is a dub influenced post-rock group formed in 1995 by Doug Scharin, drummer for the bands Codeine, Rex and June of 44. Their first album, Egg, was their most dub-based effort. Each successive album has gone more in a quasi-world music direction. After some recording for Crooklyn Dub Consortium and Wordsound, "Interpretive Belief System", HiM settled on a lineup of Scharin with Bundy K. Brown, Rob Mazurek and Jeff Parker, members or occasional members of Tortoise and Isotope 217. Their first album was the underground hit Sworn Eyes, produced by Doug Scharin. A few personnel changes followed, and the revamped lineup including members of June of 44. Golden released Our Point of Departure in 1999, which signified a very clear shift toward a more jazz-like sound, followed by a major American and European tour. In 2003, HiM released Many In High Places Are Not Well on Fat Cat Records, which was received as their most successful and fully realized release. Peoples was released in mid-2006, featuring a cleaner sound with more vocals than any of HiM's previous releases. Included in this line-up are Martin Perna and Jordan McLean from Antibalas, Griffin Rodriguez from Need New Body/Icy Demons, Adam Pierce (Mice Parade).
The latest HiM records, "1110" and ん,released in 2008 and 2009 on Afterhours in Tokyo, are collaborations between Doug Scharin, Josh Larue and the Tokyo-based group, Ultra Living.

* Shungo Makihashi (vocals)
* Non (dancer)
* Yocco (dancer)
4) H.I.M. (Her in Mind) an r&b singer best known for his reply album to H.E.R.'s album in 2017.
Gone With the Wind
HIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love your touch cold as ice
And I love every single tear you cry
I just love the way you're losing your life
My Baby, how beautiful you are
My Darling, completely torn apart
You're gone with the sin my Baby and beautiful you are
I adore the despair in your eyes
I worship your lips once red as wine
I crave for your scent sending shivers down my spine
I just love the way you're running out of life
The lyrics of HIM's "Gone With the Sin" can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. At first glance, it may seem like a love song, with the singer expressing their adoration for someone. However, the dark imagery and references to death suggest that this is not a typical love song. Instead, it seems to be about a person who is obsessed with someone who is dying or already dead.
The singer describes their fascination with the object of their affection, portraying them as beautiful even as they are "completely torn apart" and "running out of life." They are drawn to their despair and their scent, and even to their tears. This is not a healthy kind of love, but rather a twisted, morbid obsession that's ultimately self-destructive. The tone of the song is haunting, with Ville Valo's emotive vocals adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Some may see the song as a commentary on the allure of death and the curse of immortality. The singer seems to be trapped in a cycle of longing for someone who is doomed to die, unable to move on. The repetition of the line "gone with the sin" suggests that there is something sinful or cursed about this kind of love. It's a captivating but ultimately destructive force that leads to the singer's own downfall.

Iti ador pielea atat de alba
Iti ador atingerea rece ca gheata
Si iubesc fiecare lacrima ce'ti curge
Pur si simplu imi place cum iti irosesti viata
Whooooooooo, iubita mea cat de frumoasa esti...
Whooooooooo, draga mea complet distrusa pe de o parte....
Esti pierduta in pacat iubita mea si esti frumoasa
Asa ca rataceste in pacat draga mea...
Iti ador disperarea din ochi
Iti slavesc buzele rosii ca vinul
Si ravnesc la parfumul tau ce'mi da fiori pe spate
Pur si simplu ador cum uiti de viata
