THE REVIEW
"Heartache Every Moment": a little jewel that got lost, overshadowed by the contested beauty of "Razorblade Romance" and the grandeur of "Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights".
Three heartfelt, brief songs that make this mini a shooting star of the music scene: beautiful because it's ephemeral, ephemeral because it's beautiful.
It opens with "Heartache Every Moment", with fast, harmonious tones, given by a refined bass that accompanies and duets with a deep, almost weary voice. A pulsating but cold keyboard plays with an imperceptible guitar painting everything in winter shades. Delicate as snowflakes, the notes of "Close To The Flame" soar in the air... a seductive and cold melody, punctuated by an Argentine snare drum, unfolds over a touching, gentle Ville. The chorus is poignant, trembling like a flame dancing in the wind of a December night. An elegantly nostalgic keyboard wraps the notes in an icy veil. The last track is the acoustic reinterpretation of "Salt In Our Wounds", which with its melancholic slowness splendidly ties in with the sweetly surreal context.
And you will notice with regret that the work closes like this...

Summary by Bot
HIM's EP Heartache Every Moment is a hidden treasure overshadowed by the band's bigger albums. The mini-album features three heartfelt, short songs with melancholic and elegant melodies. It balances fragile beauty and emotional depth, with delicate instrumentation and poetic vocals. The acoustic reinterpretation of Salt In Our Wounds ties the work together beautifully. Despite its brevity, the EP leaves a lasting impression.Tracklist
