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.
Resurrection
HIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I could breath my life in you
One by one
Your pale fingers started to move
And I touched your face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(falling from grace)
We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
You kissed my lips
With those once cold fingertips
You reached out for me
And oh how you missed
You touched my face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(Falling from grace)
We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
The song Resurrection by HIM is a love song that seems to be about a deep and intense connection between two people. The opening lines describe a time when the singer could breathe his life into his lover, which suggests a sense of symbiosis and interdependence. However, this utopian picture is quickly disrupted as the lover's "pale fingers" start to move, and "all life is erased" when they touch each other. The line "you smiled like an angel falling from grace" hints at something darker, perhaps a sense that this love is not meant to be, or that it comes at a price.
The chorus repeats the idea that the lovers are "slaves to this love", and are "begging for more of this resurrection". This suggests that their love is all-consuming and addictive, like a drug that they cannot resist. The verse then describes a moment of physical intimacy where the lover kisses the singer's lips with "once cold fingertips", before they touch each other's faces and erase all life again, with the same image of the angel falling from grace.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a love that is intense, addictive and perhaps dangerous. The use of the word "resurrection" suggests a sense of rebirth or renewal, but also hints at the idea that this love is beyond the realm of the natural, and may even border on the supernatural or the occult.

There was a time
There was a point in time
When I could breathe my life in you
When I was deeply in love with you
One by one, your pale fingers started to move
Subtle signs of life began to show from your stillness
And I touched your face and all life was erased
When I touched you, everything else ceased to exist
You smiled like an angel (falling from grace)
Your beautiful smile contrasted with the painful reality of our situation
We've been slaves to this love
We are completely consumed by this intense love
From the moment we touched
Since the first moment we experienced physical contact
And keep begging for more
We long for even more of this love
Of this resurrection
The rebirth and renewal of this love
You kissed my lips with those once cold fingertips
You touched me in a way that was both warm and cold, a symbol of our complex relationship
You reached out for me and oh how you missed
You were longing for my embrace and touch, just as much as I was longing for yours
You touched my face and all life was erased
When you touched me, all else faded away
We've been slaves to this love
Our love has complete control over us
From the moment we touched
Since our first physical contact
And keep begging for more
We keep asking for more of this intense love
Of this resurrection
The rebirth and renewal of our love

This song is a shining example of those crushingly heavy riffs, sensual vocals, and achingly beautiful synth textures that keeps me loving this band 20 years later.

Actually it's a shining example of necrophilia. The shiniest really.

The last part is perfection... The band is into some deep atmospheric halftime and he's yelling "resurrection" like he's losing his damn life in that moment. No concentration on singing anymore, just pure emotion and pleasure. Its a masterpiece, even after more then 20 years.

Can you recognize Mige's backing vocals - the ahhhs - just divine! He has very good voice too, I lately noticed how good his backing vocals are!
