My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerFree From the Pain and SorrowSanttu Niemelä2020-01-24 | Here's a song i wrote about six months ago for a person i met online, but never actually met her face to face. She is in constant pain and can't live a normal life, so i wanted to cheer her a bit with this. I hope it worked!
I just wanted to share this here because i think it's a great song, if i can say so myself.
Lyrics: I'll be your guiding star Don't matter if i'm far from you Oh, every day i pray For you to find your way
What colour is your door? Or carpets on the floor? What is the mystery trapped in your heart?
We are the same We find the way That lead to where we want to be I want to see When you are free Free from the pain and sorrow
You can be stronger than before Just keep on fighting till the dawn The sun will shine on you
We are the same We find the way That lead to where we want to be I want to see When you are free Free from the pain and sorrow

Sanat: Näätkö sen Kynttilän pienoisen Ikkunan alla Se hiipuu pois
Kyyneleet Ne on jo vierineet Et enää nää Mun itkevän
Kaupungin Valot nään selvemmin Mutta en nää Minne mä jään
Näätkö sen Kynttilän pienoisen Ikkunan alla siihen se jää
Muista aina Kun siitä kuljet Heiluta mulle Kun kynttilän näät Kun kynttilän näät

My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerLiberty (Stratovarius cover)Santtu Niemelä2019-08-04 | I recently found this amazing song and of course i had to do an acoustic version of it. Hope you like it!
Lyrics:
Sun is shining Sky is so blue I'm filled with hope It's promising The course my life is taking
Searching of my truth has brought me here Facing things with confidence That all will be okay Past is gone Life goes on Memories remain I break the chain of misery and pain
Marching to a different drum Shines my liberty It's growing stronger every day I feel it in me Leading me to a different world Freedom shows the way It's there for you and me to find It's heaven on earth
I'm standing here today and understand There is no reason to hide anymore So many things to see so many things to gain My life is not in vain
Marching to a different drum Shines my liberty It's growing stronger every day I feel it in me Leading me to a different world Freedom shows the way It's there for you and me to find It's heaven on earth

P.S. I made the second solo a little longer. This is how i like to play it live... On the original song the main riff comes there, but i like it more this way. If you'd like to play it differently, you can use the backing track to play whatever you like on it.

Soinnut ja sanat: Am Taistoihin tiemme kun toi, E missä luotien laulu vain soi, Am Dm emme tienneet kun läksimme silloin, Am B7 E kuka joskus palata voi.
Am Elo tää juoksuhaudoissa on E meille käskynä vain kohtalon, Dm Am ja kenties matkamme määrä E (E7) Am sodan melskeisiin kadota on.
Am Päivä kun yöks' vaihtui jo, E tuli levoksi pien' tuokio, Am Dm ovat unehen vaipuneet kaikki, Am B7 E missä lämmön suo nuotio.
Am Minä sinua taas muistelen, E näen poskellas viel' kyyneleen, Dm Am vaikka taiston kentälle jäisin, E (E7) Am sinun kuvasi on viimeinen.
My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerSylvian Joululaulu (Full band cover)Santtu Niemelä2017-11-18 | Joulu lähestyy joten tein nyt tällasen yhden miehen bändi-videon mun sovituksesta Sylvian Joululaulusta, minkä tein muutama vuosi sitten. Eli nyt soittelin kitarat, bassot ja rummut ja kuvasin videolle. Edellisessä versiossa oli ainoastaan kitarat soitettu, muut soittimet tein sillon tietokoneella.
Omasta puolestani toivotan kaikille oikein rauhallista ja mukavaa joulunodotusta :)
My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerMidnight (King Diamond drum cover)Santtu Niemelä2017-10-30 | Happy Halloween! The Puppet Master is one of my favorite King Diamond albums and this is a great intro song for it. The story on this album is really great and horrifying. The atmosphere on it is truly tremendous as it is on every King Diamond album but this was totally mind-blowing to me when i first listened to the whole album and read the lyrics.
I recommend everyone who likes horror stuff to listen this album from start to finish and be sure to read the lyrics all the way. Especially on Halloween! (if you dare) \m/
My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerSong sample for my new albumSanttu Niemelä2017-09-10 | This is a song that's going to be on my new album and the only one with me on vocals.

My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerSong writingSanttu Niemelä2017-04-23 | I'd like to show you how i write songs. This video shows mostly how i write drums, but maybe later i will show you something else.
At first i had a riff idea and then i built stuff around it. This is the first verse and chorus that i'm working in the video and i made lyrics to those just before i started to record this video.
Still a lot of work to be done on this one, but when it's done and i find a singer for it, i will put it on my new album.
My website: santtuniemela.wixsite.com/skulldozerPower Of The NightSanttu Niemelä2017-03-26 | In English: My newest acoustic song. This song tells a story of a person, who is longing for a loved one who has passed away and is now a guardian angel. The guardian angel tells him/her that there's no worries, keep going on in your life.
Suomeksi: Tein biisin mikä kertoo henkilöstä, joka kaipaa läheistä ihmistä joka on siirtynyt tuonpuoleiseen ja on nyt suojelusenkeli. Suojelusenkeli kertoo hänelle että ei ole mitään hätää.
Lyrics: Can you hear my voice From the edge of the world Far away from home Please come back I need you so Please come home
Feel the power of the night I have come to say you There's no worries I will stay by your side For a long, long time Feel the music in your heart It will make you stronger and keep searching for the light
I'm so cold and alone Angel please come and save my soul Is this where i will die Is this where i will say goodbye One last time
Feel the power of the night I have come to say you There's no worries I will stay by your side For a long, long time Feel the music in your heart It will make you stronger and keep searching for the light
The star is shining Far in the sky What is out there Our time has arrived The bombs are falling We're sentenced to die Can you believe it We are at war
The chance we got We blew it away Now all is lost There will be decay The darkness falls We're ready to die There is no hope The sun will never shine
In the sky so bright Never again we find peace of mind We are forever forgotten souls
(Solo)
All trees are burning Fire and flames All will be gone This is our fate Falling to madness Slowly we'll die There is no hope The sun will never shine
In to the night Darkness is here now We are alone Fighting is done Strangers have left us all here to die Show no mercy in their blackened hearts
There's no sun in the sky, goodbye Never again we find peace of mind We are forever forgotten Souls in the sky, so bright Never again we find peace of mind We are forever forgotten soulsForgotten Souls (My new album samples)Santtu Niemelä2017-02-01 | Samples from my new album Forgotten Souls.

Lyrics: Why it's so hard to live this life Where is the light that will show you the way From the darkness that keeps you awake From the nightmare that haunts everyday
Don't be afraid, of the morning sun Forever we'll be here for you Fear of the dawn, a restless soul Always believe there is hope
Day by day, we move forward Don't think about the past Leave all sorrow behind Where is all the joy Where is happiness And where is my sweet angel Where are you
Don't be afraid of the morning sun rise Forever we'll be at your side Don't fear the dawn, it's so beautiful and bright Always believe there is hope
