No wonder, is \u2018500 Letters\u2019 in many ways Tarja\u2019s most private song ever. With its very personal song writing and delicate topic, it offers a great emotional insight into the artist herself. Touching the sensitive topic \u201cstalkers\u201d, Tarja allows her fans a closer look into her thoughts. \u2018500 Letters\u2019 is open to interpretation \u2013 being a mix of reality and fiction.<\/p>\n<p>The heavy, yet highly melodic song gets stuck in your mind after the first listen with its haunting melody and touching, exceptional vocals. Despite its very catchy key note, the bombastic sound still is full of darkness and dramatic structure and takes Tarja\u2019s song writing one step further.<\/p>\n<p>This atmosphere is captured perfectly in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Before the video for \u2018<b>500 Letters<\/b>\u2019 will be made public worldwide on earMUSIC\u2019s official YouTube channel on Thursday, October 31st at 5pm CET, local pre-premieres are held with the following media partners today (October 30th) at 5pm CET:<\/p>\n<p><i>Germany &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ampya.com\/news\/Aktuell\/Videopremiere-Tarja-500-Letters-SN101688\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.ampya.com<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myvideo.de\/watch\/9274586\/Tarja_500_Letters_Offizielles_Musikvideo\" target=\"_blank\">www.myvideo.de<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Finland &#8211; Radio Rock<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Poland &#8211; Onet.PL<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Spain &#8211; Rafabasa<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>USA &#8211; Metal Injection<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Argentina &#8211; Rock And Pop Radio<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Italy &#8211; Metalitalia<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Switzerland &#8211; Metal Insight<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Australia &#8211; Sludge Factory<\/i><\/p>\n<p>On November 1st, 2013 \u2018500 Letters\u2019 will be available as download only in all digital stores.<\/p>\n<p>As an exclusive bonus treat, the single bundle includes the ten minutes acoustic set \u2018Rivers Of Lust \/ Minor Heaven \/ Monta\u00f1as de Silencio \/ Sing For Me\/ I Feel Immortal (Acoustic)\u2019 recorded at Teatro El Circulo in Rosario, Argentina \u2013 originally part of the DVD and Blu-ray release \u201cAct I\u201d and now, for the first time available as audio digital download.<\/p>\n<p><b>500 Letters (digital single)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1. 500 Letters<\/p>\n<p>2.
