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'.
Prophecy
SaraLee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what's done is done I can't help now how I feel
I've missed my moments before, I can't live no more,
if I lose again this time
I want to hold you
I want to keep you here
give me this chance
I saw it in a dream, the chains of fool exist no more,
I can't see why, you won't too and believe me,
breaking thru these walls that keeps us apart,
many times I've tried, but now I know how to knock 'em down…

She then goes on to plead that she can't help how she feels even though what's done is done. The lines "I've missed my moments before, I can't live no more, if I lose again this time" reveal the singer's regret at missing opportunities before and her desperation to not lose again.
The chorus of the song is the cry of the singer to hold and keep someone close, to give her the chance to fulfill the prophecy that has been fallen over her.
