Dear enemy you’ve had me so tired
So long time now my tears have dried
Fernando Honorato, the brooding backbone of Sweden’s Principe Valiente, steps out onto the streets alone as Fernando’s Eyes. As he strolls down the shadowy corridor of introspection, he croons his new single, “A Million Times,” a hauntingly slow hymn to the fatigue of the psyche. The track weaves through the thick fog of repetition, regret, and reluctant endurance, its essence shaped by synths bathed in moonlight and drum machines that pulse like anxious hearts.
Honorato’s voice: deep, disenchanted, determined, draws from the same well as Bowie and Peter Murphy yet it shivers and quavers with a more solitary strain. His elegy to endurance stretches through lyrical loops and litanies, circling a familiar ache: a pain that sits like a second skin, both enemy and intimate. There’s no grand catharsis here, no triumphant shedding of sorrow…just the ache of asking, again and again, for release with grace.
Future Legends Films’ video for A Million Times, directed by Damón Zurawski, laces this longing with urban isolation. A spectral figure drifts through a nocturnal city, unseen and unfazed by the chaos around them. Neon lights blur, traffic hisses, and time feels bent; folded inwards. The pedestrian becomes phantasm. The city watches but doesn’t blink.
“I’m quite excited about this new chapter in my artistic journey and experimenting with new ways of writing music,’ Honorato says. “I’m also quite happy that the music video captures more of an 80’s Blade Runner kind of vibe that resonates with what the actual song is about..”
A Million Times isn’t about arrival. It’s about surviving the spiral. About bearing the burden without breaking. About walking into the wind, again.
