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)

Him Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible
To cry is to know that you're alive
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible
To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
The song "Love Boomerang" by HIM talks about the importance of doing good and spreading love. The verses touch on the desire to be a positive influence and to have the best of intentions when reaching out to others. The lyrics convey a message that "what goes around comes around," and therefore, we should plant seeds of love and kindness in our lives and let them grow. The song emphasizes the need to have words of hope and faith manifested in our actions and lives rather than simply talking about them.
The chorus uses the metaphor of a boomerang to represent the idea that love and kindness always come back around to us. The lyrics encourage the listener to throw out love and kindness, and it will come back around to them when they need it. The song highlights the cyclical nature of giving and receiving love, showing that it always ends up in the same place where we started.
Overall, "Love Boomerang" is a song about the power of love and the importance of giving and receiving it. It reminds us that our actions have consequences and that spreading love can have a positive impact on those around us and ourselves.

Well, I wanna do right

I wanna do something good
I want to perform acts that bring positivity

Well, I gotta be sure

So we just gotta plant the seeds
We should initiate good actions without expectation

To see them positively flourish
Love boomerang
The love we share with others
Throw it out and it'll come back around
The love we give will return to us likewise
Guaranteed it's gonna find you out
It is sure to find us, just like a boomerang circles back to the thrower
Throw it up and it'll come back down
The love we give comes back to us
It's gonna end up right where it began
Love will end up where it began, originated from our heart
I can talk about hope
I can discuss the belief in something beneficial to come
I can talk about living by faith
I can talk about the practice of confidence in a belief system
Sing about the sweet bye and bye
Speaking about the after-life and eternal happiness
Up in a heavenly place
In an identifiable place of eternal existence
I can talk about grace
I can talk about the divine help and protection
I can talk about all that I believe
I can speak of the things in which I have confidence
Gotta wonder what good are my words
I must question the purpose of my words
If they're not living in me
If my words do not influence my behavior
We gotta watch them grow
It is imperative to observe and nurture positive acts for them to grow
