The Aquarian Weekly: Ville Valo of HIM- Shattered By Hope
Valo has usually been private about his romantic life, but it is clear that he is working things out on the latest HIM platter, the music’s dark tones often coated by his tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. On the track “Scared To Death” he sings coyly, “I’m not afraid to say that I love you…any more than I used to be.” Then there is his amorous ode to “Katherine Wheel” (which is kind of akin to writing a ballad for an iron maiden), not to mention titles like “Shatter Me With Hope” and “The Foreboding Sense Of Impending Happiness.” He may be in touch with his inner goth, but he is aware that even within his tragic-romantic milieu he can go over-the-top.
