"Die Alive" is the second single by Tarja from the album My Winter Storm. The single was released on March 7, 2008 via Universal Music label. The video for the song was recorded in December, and it premiered in January.
Song
This song, as well as the second single from Tarja's debut album, was written by Swedish songwriting duo Anders Wollbeck and Mattias Lindblom, and Tarja. On January 16, 2008, Tarja posted summaries on her blog for each song of My Winter Storm, including "Die Alive":
This is a song about living every moment of your life fully. Is a fight song without any swords or blood. A fight to do what you want to do in your life, in a way that if you die tomorrow, you die alive. Not like many people that are already dead while they are still living. Jim Dooley added the feeling of a movie trailer in the middle part of the song.[1]
Video
The video for "Die Alive" is considerably darker than her previous one for "I Walk Alone", and any videos she had shot with Nightwish in the past.
Synopsis
The video starts with shots of a mansion during a stormy night, where a dog is running free. We then see the dog in a room sitting beside Tarja, who is sleeping on a mattress. As she tries to pet it, it bites her, leaving a bloody gash. As Tarja walks around the mansion, she comes across a room where there is a black and violet robe sitting on a table. Fascinated by it, she begins to put it on. As her hand passes through the sleeve, her wound is healed and disappears. We then see shots of her in another room, singing and wearing the robe.
Tarja explores the mansion more. She comes across a room with a heavy door. Opening it, many rats come in and she shuts it promptly.
ミドルエイトで、タルヤは目に見えない何かが叩いているようなドアに遭遇します。その様子を6匹の犬も目撃しています。弦楽器の音が最高潮に達すると、ドアは猛烈な勢いで吹き飛ばされます。すると、ローブを着たタルヤが外に姿を現します。瓦礫の山は神秘的な青い光を放ち、その真ん中に立っているのです。
謎の風が吹き込む中、もう一人のタージャが正面玄関から屋敷を出て行く。嵐が静まった後、ローブを着たタージャが雨に逆らって立っているシーンでビデオは終わる。
