1) Negative is a Finnish ban… Read Full Bio ↴There are three artists with this name:
1) Negative is a Finnish band. They play glam rock. http://www.negative.fi/
2) A rock band from Serbia by the name of Negative. For more information about Serbian Negative, go to their website: http://www.negativeband.net/
3) A rapper from New Zealand
1) The Finnish band Negative started as three piece during 1997 in Tampere, Finland.
Current line-up: Jonne Aaron (vox), Hannu "Hata" Salmi (guitar), Antti Anatomy (bass), Jay Slammer (drums) and Snack (keyboards). Negative's long time guitarist Sir Christus is no longer in the band. The band has decided not to replace him. Also Larry Love left the band (may 2011). He is replaced by Hannu "Hata Salmi".
Negative's debut single The Moment Of Our Love and the first album War Of Love has sold gold in Finland. War Of Love has also been released in Scandinavia, Italy, Russia and Japan.
Negative has already played a huge amount of shows in Finland and the band has performed in Japan, Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well.
The first single from Negative's second album, Frozen To Lose It All, went straight to number one in the official Finnish charts.
Negative's second album Sweet & Deceitful was released in September 2004 and the band toured extensively after that.
In May 2005 the album was also released in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and a tour in those countries followed in September 2005.
Their latest record Anorectic has been released in September 2006 and from November to December Negative are on tour in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Finland.
Negative-guys have always loved the bands like Guns 'N' Roses, Hanoi Rocks, Mötley Crue, Kiss, W.A.S.P. and Finnish 80's rock/pop legend Dingo so it's not very big surprise that band have set their ultimate goals outside the borders of Finland. And this has been the case since the Negative's day one...
Negative's current line-up has been gathering together slowly. Jonne tells some examples.
Negative signed a record deal with Tampere-based Gbfam Records in 2002.
The band started the recordings of War Of Love in Cosmic studios with the highly acclaimed producer Lex Luthor (who has previously worked for example with Paleface and Ezkimo).
Negative toured extensively in Finland after the release of War Of Love. The band saw all the corners of their homeland, from fjelds of Lapland to the shores of southern Finland.
Negative's second album took shape under the overseeing eye of veteran producer TT Oksala (HIM, The 69 Eyes, Lordi etc.) during the spring 2004.
Their third album "Karma Killer" was released on May 7th 2008.
2) Negative is a Serbian rock band formed in 1998. After the singer Ivana Pavlović (now Peters), known as one of the best female vocalists in Balkan, left the dance quintet Tap 011 in 1999, she joined Negative and the band started working on their album. The first single, "Ja bih te sanjala" ("I'd Dream of You"), turned out to be a great success and the self-titled debut album followed in December 1999. During the next three years, the band had a string of successful singles, including "Svet tuge" ("World of Sadness"), "Ti me ne voliš" ("You Don't Love Me") and "Vreme je" ("It is Time"). In May 2000, the band had their first live act in front of several thousand people. The concert was recorded and released on a CD later that year.
In 2001, Negative was featured on the soundtrack to a Serbian thriller-drama Apsolutnih sto with the song "Kraj" ("The End").
Following a series of successful concerts in Serbia and Montenegro, as well as other former Yugoslav countries, the band released their second album entitled "Ni ovde, ni tamo" ("Neither Here nor There") in December 2002. The album introduced a new, heavier sound with a completely new, somewhat neo punk visual style of the band. The album helped the band gain popularity among alternative audiences. Single releases included "Bez promene" ("No Change"), "Tuga nema kraj" ("There's No End to Sadness") and "Konačan početak" ("The Final Start"), dedicated to Ivana's late grandmother. Negative continued to tour all over former Yugoslavia.
In May 2004, Negative won the festival Beovizija and ended up 4th in the final selection of Serbia and Montenegro's Eurovision Song Contest representative with the song "Zbunjena" ("Confused"). The song became one of the biggest hits of the year and announced the band's third album entitled "Tango", released later that year. Just like the title suggests, the album introduced a "softer", more romantic Negative than on previous two albums. "Tango" was a great success, with hit singles including "Tango", "Ljubav" ("Love") and "Čarobni napitak" ("Magic Potion"). The band continued to do what they are best known for - terrific concerts all over the region.
In May 2007, only several weeks after Ivana gave birth to her daughter Sara, Negative took the 3rd place in the national Eurovision Song Contest finals, the first one since Serbia became an independent country. The song "Prava stvar" ("The Real Thing") was festival jury's favorite, but viewers decided in favor of Marija Šerifović, who would eventually win the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki, Finland. Negative's last concert to date took place on July 15, 2007 on Exit Festival's Fusion Stage.
In May 2009, the band released their newest album "Spusti Me Na Zemlju" ("Land Me Down On The Ground") which again has a bit more powerful and heavier sound than the previous album. As to this date it still not known which single will be taken out from this album...

Negative Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Four AM, the world is sleeping
Wonder why no one's here
Just me and this needless weeping
Running away from you
Was the first mistake from my side
Running away from you
If I could turn back time
But then no one can
So many things left unsaid
So many things I couldn't write down
When my weakness made me scared
Your presence filled me stronger
Now all that disapprovement
Of hope is flying over
Like dust in the wind
If I could turn back time
Get right back where we start from
But I can't
Your presence filled me stronger
And all that disapprovement
Of hope is flying over
Like dust in the wind
If I could turn back time
Get right back where we start from
But I can't
No, I can't
But I can't
Get away, get away, get away, yeah, ooh
The lyrics of Negative's song "Anna Simona" are filled with regret and longing for a lost love. The song starts with the singer doubting himself, feeling alone at 4am and wondering why no one else is there. This sets the mood for the rest of the song as he reflects on his past mistakes and missed opportunities.
The singer admits that he made the first mistake by running away from his partner, causing him to lose the love of his life. He then reflects on things left unsaid and how his weakness made him scared to express his feelings. The presence of his partner used to make him feel stronger, but now he is filled with regret and longing.
The chorus repeats the line "If I could turn back time" twice, highlighting his desire to undo his past mistakes and get back where they started from. However, he acknowledges that it is impossible and he cannot change the past. The song ends with the singer reiterating his desire to get away and escape this painful cycle of regret and loss.
Line by Line Meaning
Doubt myself today
Feeling uncertain and lacking confidence today
Four AM, the world is sleeping
It's early in the morning and everyone is asleep
Wonder why no one's here
Questioning why there is no one else around
Just me and this needless weeping
Crying for no good reason, alone
Running away from you
Choosing to leave your presence behind
Was the first mistake from my side
Leaving was a regrettable choice
Running away from you
Choosing to leave your presence behind (repeated)
Was the worst mistake of my life
Leaving you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
If I could turn back time
Wishing for the ability to go back in time
But then no one can
Knowing that it is not possible to change the past
So many things left unsaid
Regretting not expressing certain things to you
So many things I couldn't write down
Feeling unable to put feelings into words
When my weakness made me scared
Feeling afraid when faced with vulnerability
Your presence filled me stronger
Your presence made me feel stronger and more capable
Now all that disapprovement
Past negative feelings are fading away
Of hope is flying over
Negative thoughts about the future are diminishing
Like dust in the wind
Fading away like something insignificant
Get right back where we start from
Going back to the beginning of the relationship
No, I can't
Admitting that it is not possible to go back
Get away, get away, get away, yeah, ooh
Expressing a desire to escape or run away

Hi! Yes, they are two italian names. First time I read the title, I was surprised to read two familiar names [I am italian] XD I don't know why. Somewhere I read that this song was dedicated to two italian fans of them. But I can't say if it's true or not :)

@nina25fly Yeah! Beautiful song, isn't it? :)
SDoradus92
E' vero! Anche dalle mie parti (provincia di Chieti) sono praticamente l'unico a conoscerli xD anche se devo dire che fino ad ora, per l'esperienza che ho avuto su youtube, anche se i Negative non hanno un seguito particolarmente vasto, i loro fan sono molto affezionati alla band...Della serie, "meglio pochi ma buoni" :)

Di nulla, figurati! :) Solo mi dispiace non esser stato molto d'aiuto. Avevo letto da qualche parte solo la storia della dedica alle due fan...ma sinceramente non la trovo molto attendibile. Per il resto questa canzone è come se non esistesse, se ne parla pochissimo!
