It all began in Central Finland in the year 2000. The dynamic trio of Joonas, Saurus and Clansman, who had already initiated their common musical journey in early 1990's, was joined by guitarist Juha. Partaking in the recordings of their first demo 'Black And Hollow' was also the keyboard/vocal artist Anne, who enjoyed the SaraLee ride up until Summer 2005, when she had to change scenery because of her studies and career. At this point Ari stepped in. As a result of a coincidence Kimmo joined the band as second guitarist in Summer 2002. Around this time SaraLee took its final form as Joonas left the burden of guitar-playing solely for others to bear.
At first SaraLee gained renown under the name 'Restless', but was rebaptised in late 2003.
Despite their atmospheric live appearances, recordings-wise, the demos 'Black And Hollow' and 'When Little Things Die' failed to further the SaraLee cause. However their third demo effort 'Evil In Us' was the light that flung doors wide open.
In SaraLee's music combine strong melodies, the energy of rock and passion. Stylistically the band occupies territory somewhere between rock and metal, with influences from Goth.
In Summer 2004 the band gathered up and released their demos as the 'Demo(n)s' compilation, which in little under a year sold nearly a thousand copies at gigs and through the SaraLee website.
Their music has also been featured on a few other compilations, the latest of which is 'Keep On Dooming In The Free World' a joint release by Firebox Records and Inferno Magazine. The featured SaraLee song is 'Dance', which dates back to late 2004 when the band was in studio recording new material. 'Dance' is also SaraLee's first release on Firebox the single, in addition featuring the songs 'Cries A River' and the demo version of 'Everytime' was released on the 23rd of November 2005.
In 2006 they released their debut album 'Darkness Between' and in 2008 their second album 'Damnation To Salvation'.
Everytime
SaraLee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
searching for the place to belong to kill the joy
inside
So soon we feel it
All the time I see your heaven cry to last for
this night, everytime i see you cry
All the time I see your heaven smile
to last for this night, everytime I rock with love
You know more than we feel you are a lonely child
times we feel down low to see my inner smile
The lyrics to SaraLee's song "Everytime" touch on themes of longing, loneliness, and the search for belonging. The opening line, "Nothing more we can do, to see the only light," suggests a feeling of hopelessness or resignation. The singer is searching for a place to belong, but this search is tinged with a sense of melancholy, as they feel the need to "kill the joy inside."
The chorus suggests that the singer is addressing someone else - perhaps a friend or loved one who is also struggling with feelings of loneliness or isolation. The lines "All the time I see your heaven cry" and "All the time I see your heaven smile" suggest that the other person's emotions are intense and powerful, like a force of nature.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of yearning and vulnerability, as the singer and the other person are both searching for a sense of connection and belonging in a world that can often feel cold and isolating.
Line by Line Meaning
Nothing more we can do, to see the only light
We have tried everything and exhausted every option to find happiness
Searching for the place to belong to kill the joy inside
Trying to fit in and conform to societal norms has caused us to lose our happiness and true self
So soon we feel it
Our pain and struggle has become a constant state of being
All the time I see your heaven cry to last for this night, everytime i see you cry
I see your pain and it breaks my heart, I wish I could take it away and make it last just for one night
All the time I see your heaven smile to last for this night, everytime I rock with love
I cherish the moments when you are happy and content, and I want to keep that feeling going forever by showering you with love
You know more than we feel you are a lonely child
You understand the feeling of being alone better than anyone else
Times we feel down low to see my inner smile
When we are struggling, we try our best to find happiness within ourselves
