Moving on
Last night we were late up, so it was a bit tough to get back to work early in the morning. The red wine did it’s “thing” you know… 
Max came to the studio to work with us some songs and it was nice to have him around.
It’s always great when somebody else comes in and helps us to refresh ourselves. That way we don’t get bored.
It was so funny when I met him in the morning. After I gave him a hug, I told him “oh my God, Max you are even taller with the shoes on”. But he was NOT wearing any shoes! In a minute I realized that he was like “WHAT? Maybe I can come down from the mattress.” Well, Max knows me well already… I haven’t just seen him in a long time…
We are working very hard to get the songs in a shape where everybody feels good and comfortable. Mike did again amazing job today. He recorded few more songs and we are well in schedule.
Among those songs was “In For A Kill” that I have performed last year a couple of times with an orchestra. Now it turned to be really cool with the drums and the reference guitars from Alex. Is already very promising.
It was a surprise for everybody in the studio the cover song recorded today. We managed to refresh a great song from the 80’s. Is a bit sad that songs like this one nobody writes any more.
According to Mike; he played today the longest drum fill he had recorded in nearly 100 albums!!
We had fun with his performances and sometimes it felt that he did more than what he expected himself to do! So it made him very happy.
It was a tough day for all of us, but very rewarding.
With love, Tarja

Wow,it feel great that you post everydays,it makes me so happy.
It’s very good news for “In for a Kill”,with orchestra it sounds already awesome so can’t wait to listen the “rock” version of a song that i like very much!
Yesterday, you said: “And the question is, why try to make the impossible happen if the results sound already awesome?”,this made me laugh a lot and i guess you saw lot of amusing comments,and not only mine.
Oh baby,me too,i haven’t see you in a long time, i want to refresh you after a good relaxing sauna and taking care of you…
And drink vodka,it’s better than red wine ,but not too much at this hard working time,we all want a great album!!
Have fun my beloved.
kisses

Posted on: February 8, 2010 12:00 amYes! in For a Kill is in the album! I’m so glad because, dear Tarja, I loved that song, it is wonderful. I had it in my head for about a weak playing nonstop.
Even if it’s true that I would love to hear more and more of your creations in the album, I’m sure you’ll do a fine job on this cover. Glad to know you have your dear friends with you, making awesome music together and I’m happy uncle Mike got a chance to play such a long drums part.
Thanks a lot for keeping us in mind and sharing this experience with us. We appreciate it a lot, we really do. Lots of love.

Posted on: February 7, 2010 11:47 pmMy sweet and lovely angel of music. How beautiful is to visit your blog where you tell us everything going on in your life. This is the best way to keep us updated to every step that you take. Thank you so much for being you, specially for being such a dedicated and, DEVOTED person to music. I’ve never seen such a great artist, that actually pays attention to her fans. So thank you for that, I’d love to hear the new songs, I can’t wait. But I know it’s hard, and the process is really really long because I actually sing, and I made half an album before, I never ended up the other half because of the long process, lol. So I exactly know how that feels. But looks like you’re having fun! Stay away from the wine, tarja you know it’s not doing any good to your voice, lol . I love you and I can’t wait to know more about the recording process
. I’m not going to write down all of my feelings here, specially when I already wrote more than anyone else did, so far lol. So I hope you like my comment. IF YOU GET TO READ IT WITHOUT GETTING ANY BORED. haah!!! alright, too long. and you may not see it. Good look, keep on the good work!
I LOVE YOU.
