Thank you so much for undertaking this great musical journey for not only me and all the Wintersun fans out there, but also spreading the word and got new people to listen to this band, that might never even heard of it otherwise! I got multiple friends to whom I recommended your channel years ago and who watch you regularly now. Most of them didn't ever really get into Wintersun, despite my efforts to do so. Those exact people watched your Wintersun videos and have been pestering me for the last few weeks, why I never forced them to listen to Wintersun more seriously, lol. Your way of listening to, analysing and FEELING music is something really special, that has always hooked me and made me interested in all kind of music that I didn't really care about before. I got back into Tool, for example, when you did your videos on the new album about a year ago. I can imagine I'm not the only one who feels that way. As for "Loneliness", I felt exactly the same as you about this song. It really is a welcome calm salvation (especially after the dark powerhouse that was "Eternal Darkness") and a great ending for the album. Additionally, it really underlines this quiet dormancy of winter, before spring takes over and nature explodes. Also, Jari's voice is absolutely amazing and it is like you said, "If you don't like screaming and growling, this Wintersun song is the song for you" :D Keep it metal!! \m/ Julian

I'm just floored how you both never mentioned the pain and sadness in his voice during this song. This was a hard song for Jaari. He literally isolated himself for a week to get in the proper state of mind for how he felt during this period of his life to reflect that in his vocals. I mean even his harsh vocals sound like he is crying. It's just crazy to me. Now maybe the first album will get some love since nobody really talks about that masterpiece these days.

Most reaction video are more in line with Jari's lyrics and emotions. Most people cried during the song. I'm also quite surprised at this reaction as if they didn't get the meaning of it. I'm quite cautious on calling a song or an album a Masterpiece but This... it's at the top of my Masterpiece criteria.

Sistah survived longer than I expected in this one.

The first time I heard this song I cried for the first time in more than a decade. Thins song hits right in the feels especially now during cov times...

This is one of the most emotional and heartfelt songs I have ever heard. Jari's delivery never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I listen to it.

I remember I actually collapsed unintentionally while the first listening of this peace! I almost never cry, but this song sucked several liters of water out of my eyes! This is pure beauty! Sistah was stronger, that's impossible! 🤣

Lol, hi sugah! This song is EPIC, right?! But all of Jari's music is! \m/ ♥

I was driving around during winter here in Finland last year. The evenings got longer and longer and listening to this song with darkness and the cold wind around me, with the emptiness of the towns. I felt like i wasn't in this world. Liminal and beautiful.

When I listen to this song, I think of Valfar. Died at 25 from hypothermia, caught in a snowstorm on a walk back to his parents house. He laid there for hours, hopeless. His limbs frozen. His face facing the heavens as he took his last breath, hopeless and forgotten. Rest in peace.

definitely my favorite song from wintersun 😁👍

Man this song broke when I first heard it, I couldn't stop thinking about my dad (who's still alive but.. ill), and coworkers/friends I've lost. So much left undone, but so much joy to remember them by. What a song, what a song..

It's so funny how beautiful I find the most melancholic songs to be.

I fucking love metal. I love music. My favourite part of this song is the "washed away by the morning sun" and "washed away by the frozen stars" sections

Jaris dad made a perfect son for fin heavy metal god bless that man and rest in piece.

Thank you for your reaction. This song is about the reality we all will face one day. It's a melancolic and emotional but at the same time beautiful song. Finally we will leave this earth and move on to our new eternal home.

This song is so full of motions(anxiety, sorrow and pain) and what a poetry! Another masterpiece from wintersun (...and now my favorite one)!

SO now the 1st album of wintersun then. Its called Wintersun!

Loneliness is my favorite because I love winter

masterpiece. jari painting perfectly how winter feel and how much hurt when loosing somebody important people. in my books this is wintersun best song. this song gives always salt water with eyes. thanx to great reaction both and have great day there.

this is absolutely gorgeous - what a perfect song -the lyrics are so poetic and sad

I love this song

One thing, that impresses me the most, about Jari's singing. Is the way he can bring the emotion to it. I mean, hell, he does about everything to these songs. But to top that, he really is an exceptional singer. Though, the TIME it takes to get stuff out... Should be faster ;)

Also, decent quality live performances of Spring and Autumn are on KZread from the 2017 Summer Breeze festival (uploaded by the WintersunExtras KZread channel) if y’all want to see how it sounds live.

Perfect song. One of my all time favorite.

Thanks again for your reactions to this incredible score. Watched them all at one session, 3 am in the morning (yes, I do suffer from insomnia). I must say, the last one can get even a guy like me emotional (ok, after a few drinks, never mind). Although I know it's rather personal for Jari, the lyrics can be adapted to just anyone losing something or someone.

Powerful.

I saw Wintersun supporting Epica, what a great evening.

NW performed the first half of their 2021 Virtual Tour today and you might be able to catch a few songs before they get blocked. The new NW bass player from Wintersun, Jukka, is set to tour with the band for the 2021 tour. Ironically, the original NW drummer was also named Jukka. When he retired for health reasons, he called on his good friend, Kai, who was the Wintersun drummer, so now NW has two former Wintersun bandmates. Hope you get to see my favorite song from the 2021 Human Nature album, "Shoemaker" Laudato Si Ad Astra 2021 Virtual Tour @F3z0

Are you gonna do the debut album as well?

I have a band request. Aspherium - The Fall of Therenia. It is a concept album so the first two songs go together. 1. The Fall of Therenia 2. The Revenant If you like it then listen to and react to the rest of the album. they're awesome!
