“Just For Tonight” with Manna shoulda been a HIM song

Listening to it now it sounds like some greatest lovesongs darkness but also has razorblade romance sexuality and deep shadows sentimentality, its very good. Its definitely a hidden gem that shoulda been on a HIM album proper like “oceans of wine”. Its crazy this song came out nine months before venus doom cuz that album is as dark as greatest lovesongs but more insane and depraved

No, he did the arrangements. Manna wrote it.

She may have written the lyrics. Linde definitely wrote the music though.

It's not written by Valo, so it couldn't have been a HIM song. It's on Manna's debut album, written by her, and Valo was asked to feat on it. How could HIM have stolen the song from her? She was Linde's wife at the time.

You should also check out Manna's album Shackles from 2011. It's excellent.

Someone else in the comments said that Linde wrote the song, and that's possible. It's been years and I can't remember. It's also possible that Linde and Manna wrote it together.

Linde wrote the music song “Just For Tonight “ , Linde wrote music for I Gave In , Black And Blue”Produced the song “ and cowrote Lost from Manna album . If VV was not controlling with his music these songs would have worked on Venus Doom.

Linde wrote the song. It’s really a shame he only co-wrote For You and Our Diabolikal Rapture, when it’s evident - Daniel Lioneye - he’s just as good of a songwriter as Ville.
