If you want to hear Johanna sing a GORGEOUS song written by her husband, Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish, give a listen to "A Lifetime of Adventure" from his solo album based on (and yes I'm actually serious) an award winning graphic novel: "The Life And Times Of Scrooge (McDuck)." She is also in a band with Tuomas and Troy Donockley (also of Nightwish) called "Auri"

@@MatsuPatty Yes! You definitely will not regret time spent listening to "The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck." Well, of course not, because it's written by Tuomas Holopainen. How could it be anything BUT masterful perfection? ;)

Johanna has such a beautiful and unique voice. I see everyone filled you in and gave you recommendations. We in the US miss out on a lot of music from around the world. Nightwish opened me up to a whole new world of music and I am 65yrs old. I guess you are never to old............ :-)

Great. "Kuolevainen" = "Mortal" in English. I've always loved Johanna's voice. My favorite is her interpretation of an old traditional Finnish wedding song: Häävalssi (Wedding Waltz). She sings this slow waltz so beautifully. KZread: "Johanna Kurkela haavalssi". There's kind of sad tone in the song, though the text is actually happy. By the way, she is really a fairy, a maid of the woods, not a human. Mortal They say I'm a fairy, they say I'm not real I'm some strange newcomer, a new inhabitant, that's what they say They say I'm a gnome, I'm not flesh and blood I have a little bit of witch's talents, a sorceress seer, that's what they say But even if I believe in miracles I can't use magic When I'm hurting, when knives turn in my heart I tremble just like every human, mortal If this ends, if love ends tonight I'll break just like every human, mortal, mortal They say that earthly worries don't weigh me down at all They talk about it with burning eyes, secret wisdom surrounds me They see my tears, but they won't come to hug me And it's easy to say to kids 'you have to watch out for strangers' But even if I believe in miracles I can't use magic When I'm hurting, when knives turn in my heart I tremble just like every human, mortal If this ends, if love ends tonight I'll break just like every human, mortal, mortal I get wounded when you hold me like that, the pain only gets worse I'd be yours now when you want to get away, and the door only closes When I'm hurting, when knives turn in my heart I tremble just like every human, mortal If this ends, if love ends tonight I'll break just like every human, mortal, mortal Mortal, mortal

Pearl Diving is the new single by Auri with Johanna, Tuomas & Troy. Lovely 💗

My wife's friend is Johanna's old schoolmate, who has said, that Johanna "the golden throat" always got all the best roles from school plays =)

*If you wanna hear more of her, listen to: A U R I . The bandmembers are: Johanna on lead voices & viola, Tuomas [The brilliant mastermind of Nightwish] on Keyboards, Synthesizers & backing vocals and multi-instrumentalist and Nightwish-member Troy Donockley on Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Bouzouki, Uilleann Pipes, Low Whistles, Aerophone, Bodhran, Keyboards & Voices. I highly recommend as a start : "The Space Between" [Official Lyric Video] .*

language not problem in music. i listening before italy music,what i dont understand. english music i only sometimes start looking what is the lyrics. amazing voice this johanna. auri second album coming soon. thanx patty reaction and have great day there.

Hi, check the lyrics in English (Google translator or so) and it will hit U more, promise 🤗

I am not fan of trad finnish pop, but if your interested check out ‘Jenni Vartiainen - missä muruseni on’, she is biggest star in that “genre”

The titles translation is Mortal

Idk about everyone but Kuolevainen is her best song so far. Her voice is just perfection and one of the best there is. This song makes the most of it since it's primarily her singing with her pure voice(without any backups, edits etc). I really wish I can hear more songs like this from her.

Her name is pronounced Yo-honna. Pronunciation of some letters in Finnish are different.

More like, the pronounciation of every letter is different. When one changes from language to another, even sounds we think are the same, have differences. And our brains mislead us, as when brains hear talk, they will interpret it to familiar patterns to you. Hence for adult speakers learning to pronounce native way a foreign language is so difficult, impossible to most of us: brains don't let you hear the foreign sounds right.
