Lyrics: Hopeless Days
I never wanted
I never wanted to be born
Into this cruel world
Into this cruel world I was torn
Left behind with grief
Lacerated by life
Shackled into caves of grieves
From an union
From an union of force and fear
Arose my kin
Arose my kin enslaved
In hopelessness
In hopelessness and suspicion
The seed of eternal tomorrow
I was born a captive
A captive of the night
In between
Hopeless days
I was born on sleet
On sleet covered roads
I've been driven by howling winds
A beggar, a drifter
A refugee from my own life
And a companion
Companion of the ghostly lights
But still they came
They found the way to get to me
They beckoned me to follow
I was born a captive
A captive of the night
In between
Hopeless days
I was born on sleet
On sleet covered roads
I've been driven by howling winds

You guys MUST DEFINITELY do "Amorphis - Towards and Against" from the "Forging a Land of Thousand Lakes" Tour !!! By far their best live performance EVER!!!

[@Irevoltnow]

You have done Amorphis and Stratovarius. Now you have to do Sentenced. They were the big three Metal bands in Finland in mid-nineties! Imagine we really hadn't more great metal bands then now we have a "few" more.

[@Wolverine7370]

I agree. Next Sentenced. You guys can start where Sentenced ended. Last song they did from last show they did. End of the Road: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5isY56Kf81gg5o

Under the red cloud Bad blood My sun The wanderer Shades of grey Battle fo light Black winter day My enemy My kantele Sampo Sky is mine Sacrifice Mission House of sleep To start with

[@aboutmonkey5471]

Under the red cloud is great

[@ToastedCigar]

Amorphis is one of my favorite bands of all time, and this song is incredible. They have a new album coming out next Spring! Btw, a great song to add to your list would be Nightwish's - The greatest show on earth (Live in Tampere) or Ensiferum's Token of Time

[@moonwolf2251]

King of Errors by Evergrey.Melodic prog metal from Sweden.Meaningful lyrics,cool riffs,and sweet guitar solo...

[@JLTS76]

Oh yes, Amorphis. I love this band, gonna see them live next summer.

[@APREACTS]

Lucky you bro....My kid purchased the song right after we did the video, not even caring that we actually have the CD, so I think he will want to go see them if they come to town.

[@JLTS76]

Well, you know they are quite often in Tuska, so maybe you'll see them there if you get to go there ;)

[@APREACTS]

Dude, I felt so bad for Ruben, I messaged him and asked him to delete the video, he was trying to help and people shitting on him. People don't realize his kindness. We don't monetize our videos, so we are looking at this as a way for those that enjoy our content to help out if they can the channel. If people don't want to donate then don't, nobody is forcing anybody....but some of the comments there Ruben doesn't deserve it. I asked him to delete it, he said he won't. I have so much respect for that dude.

[@JLTS76]

yeah he got a lot of hate for that, hate he didn't deserve, for no reason really. Damn shame, he's a cool guy for doing that.

[@APREACTS]

I agree. I asked him to delete it. He doesn't deserve it.

[@novoivit]

Great live song: Amorphis - Towards And Against - Forging a Land of Thousand Lakes

[@JackM.]

I really like Amorphis' newest album. From it 'Sacrifice' would be my pick for you, great song. Or if you want old school Amorphis 'Black Winter Day' is legendary.

[@AgeofJP]

I'd rather recommend Bad Blood to check out for someone who wants to get a better taste of the album. Though Sacrifice is definetly one of the best songs on the album, most of the other songs are quite growl-heavy and thus you could get a wrong image of the album. Every Amorphis album is built to tell an own story and Sacrifice feels a little more like a song from "Circle" (correct me if you think I'm wrong)

[@Muthan565]

Bad blood is a good choice. But they probably want to pick a music video.

[@ozzi958]

If you like heavier Amorphis, you should check out "shades of grey" or "skyforger". Both are masterpieces.

[@jesterheadbanger]

Amorphis is an incredible band. Listen to Hallatar - Mirrors. You will not regret.

[@APREACTS]

We have done that video already

[@jesterheadbanger]

I'm gonna watch your video right now. By the way, do you plan to make a reaction to the song "My Mistake"?

[@Eluarelon]

Dammit, totally missed you reacting to Hallatar back then. Because that would have been the better place to request you reacting to Trees of Eternity - Broken Mirror. Story time: When I returned to Metal from my years long hiatus, one of the first albums I stumbled about was in fact Amorphis' Circle and I immediately fell in love with their music. And on their very next album, Under the Red Cloud, there was this song that had a beautiful, haunting female voice I just needed to learn who it belonged to. This way, I stumbled about Aleah Stanbridge's project Trees of Eternity. Some waiting later, their album Hours of the NIghtingale was released and it wasn't before the first reviews came in that I learned about Aleah's untimely death. It's not often that you get to sing your own requiem (one of the songs actually is called "My Requiem") but that was exactly what had happened and it just makes the music so much more powerful,especially in a year that my dad had died and that also hadn't been my best year in general. Oh and as far as Amorphis goes: Bad Blood or The Four Wise Ones from their last album are very good (but to be honest, they are all, those guys simply can't write bad songs). Also a great live band, I got to see them in 2016 with Arch Enemy and Nightwish (together with my daughter, who is the biggest Nightwish fan since then)

[@christianxfb]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome guys!!!!

[@jaopbr1]

Great band, great song.

[@ryanbeast666]

Bands such as: Hammerfall, Evergrey, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Primordial, Scar Symmetry.

[@ryanbeast666]

BLACK WINTERS DAY!!! Cheers guys.

[@MeatySnacks]

Sampo from the album Skyforger or Into Hiding off of Tales from the Thousand Lakes are both great listens. Highly recommend those.

[@MetalRob81]

Amorphis are such a killer band! Great song. Pagans Mind - Taken or Resurrection!!

[@RaatoHarmonica]

Always fun to watch Amorphis reactions ^^ And I can highly recommend watching that live DVD, it's absolutely wonderful. Many have spoken of Amorphis' heavier side, but it wouldnt do to ignore their lighter tracks. Most of their singles are actually rather "radiofriendly" melodic rock that are loaded with deliciously catchy riffs. While they have a solid death metal past and influences they have also ventured into prog rock territory occasionally (especially on their late 90s-early 00s albums), and the lead guitarist Esa Holopainen loves utilizing proggy delay effects on guitar riffs and melodies. Towards and Against and Sky is Mine have probably their greatest riffs that are using delay effect.

[@yamadojo81]

What a great band they are!

[@kahla010]

Just found you guys. Really love what you do. You grow on me. Great duo !

[@APREACTS]

Thank you

[@Tokalafox]

Amorphis - House Of Sleep is a great song, so react to that. EDIT: almost forgot The Smoke is also a really good song.

[@SunnyRainStorm]

Thank you! I was waiting for this song! :-)

[@joepplaysdrums]

I have those two cd packages as well, you'll definitely enjoy them, especially the live cd/dvd package, it's really good!

[@APREACTS]

My son has "taken them" to his room, I have to rescue those DVD's back.

[@markuslindberg3321]

Sampo or Silver Bride from Skyforger.

[@DaV084]

I recomend a react to older Amorphis stuff, specially Against widows that is the most representative Amorphis song along with My kantele

[@MightyPee]

On Rich And Poor ;)

[@jayjcormeus1219]

Amorphis - Nightbird's Song

[@bartoszperzynski]

Check Eternal Tears of Sorrow band pls! :)

[@spm15s85]

Great band !

[@harri9885]

How about the good old classic "Black Winter's day" , from the Tales of a Thousand lakes. When you have the time. :)

[@Retset]

Towards and Against .... awesome and it's on your live CD/DVD

[@HeavyRulezz]

HammerFall guys pls))) At the end of the rainbow or riders of the storm songs

[@mikkolaine4883]

Nation needs the song named "Drowned Maid" (2010)!

[@Muthan565]

I really like their new album. Bad blood is a really good choice. If you prefer a music video, Sacrifice or silver bride are good clean vocal songs, the four wise ones is a good harsh vocal song.

[@Greatshortfilms1]

listen to SCAR SYMMETRY - Morphogenesis, please

[@pinkfluffypandicornblub2706]

Amorphis is an amazing band :) awesome that you want to get deeper into them. I'd recommend Silent Waters and Silver Bride. Both songs are even softer than this one and just make you feel good. I have two suggestions from other bands for you. Nevermore - This Godless Endeavour (imo one of the best metal songs ever written) Orphaned Land - Ocean Land (a fantastic band from Israel that play a mix of Doom, Prog, MeloDeath and Folk Metal. They use a lot of oriental instrumentation and sing about the Islam, Christianity and Judaism, their similarities and what unites them.)

[@ControllerOfMinds]

How I loved your reaction! Thanks for this, I really enjoy the music of Amorphis =) I would recommend you: "Four Wise Ones", and "Silver Bride"! Being persistent: Nitrogods "Boogeyman" - a German rock band that deserves more attention ;)

[@flipemoff1836]

Dudes, go for Towards and Against! Very dynamic and powerful, definitely worth listening to 😉

[@ukriroutalempi5124]

More Amorphis Please, could you react to Bad Blood or Dark Path?

[@Gragi]

Make reaction to old Amorphis - Into Hiding.

[@arfallaennzu1853]

Parasite Inc. - Armageddon in 16 to 9

[@lioubinos99]

Ooooo ! Props to this guy !!! Great Reaction as always... Amorphis is a great band... You should check "Silent Waters" or "Skyforger"

[@APREACTS]

We were going to do Silent Waters but since he sent us the discs we figured we would let him pick the song, his choice was great I can't complain.

[@lioubinos99]

A&P-REACTS Yeah indeed ... keep em vids coming

[@nellalehikoinen8804]

Check out more Amorphis! Tomi Joutsen's harsh vocals are just amazing :D

[@druid187]

Sampo is one of their finest songs! for something different from them.. try their older stuff they had a different vocalist, maybe not as versatile as Tomi Joutsen but still fitting non the less .... Black Winters Night has beautiful Guitar melodies merged with the famous finnish keyboard tickles.

[@blechtic]

Next Finnday you might want to revisit Finntroll. I know most people would suggest songs Trollhammaren or En mäktig här. I would advice against En mäktig här, not because it's not a great song -- it's an incredible song -- but because you get much more out of it once you've listened more of Finntroll and gotten used to their sound. If it's one of the first songs you hear from them, you might miss some of the cheek and irreverence going wrt its light musical style. Instead, I'd go for Nedgång. It's a little on the harder and darker side, but it nicely showcases the drama and all the small musical theatrics they put on their albums. If you were to do a double billing, I'd suggest the band Tukkanuotta and the song El Matador. Yes, the band does simple humorous lyrics about alcohol and drugs (in Finnish), which might put some people off or write them off as a joke, but their use of slang and some of their rhymes and alliterations and verbal acrobatics in general is something to respect. Also, I'm sure people would provide you with translations of the lyrics.

[@APREACTS]

The next one we will do from them is Under Bergets Rot....I have been dying to check it out.

[@ramiruponen]

BRHG yeah. Mikkeli city boys :)

[@Emberdweller]

Yessss finaly Amorphis :DD

[@TheWiseGrif]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could do Babymetal, for 2 reasons 1. They're awesome 2. One of their guitarists fell on Dec 30th and succumbed to his injuries on Jan 5th, so in honor of a badass guitarist Either Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro (the Kami Band showing off with instrument solos, i believe he is the guitarist with the blue guitar) Or Road of Resistance, with guitar parts written by Sam and Herman from Dragonforce

[@akuankka6445]

Gotta love good old finnish band. Check out Amporphis-Sky is mine!:)

[@pml1591]

🤘👏Amorphis... you guys have great music... You should listen band called Eye of the enemy - The shift

[@Delusional_Echos]

Fit for a king - deathgrip

[@stamaalexgabriel2262]

Therion - To Mega Therion!!!!

[@pawelsjogard617]

Mad props to Valtteri from a fellow finn! You make the rest of us look bad with your kindness. :) Have you listened to Bloodred Hourglass - Valkyrie already? I noticed you don't have a reaction video of that particular song (the music video came out in 2015, so probably from the album before Heal).

[@APREACTS]

It is from Where The Oceans Burn. I have both those albums, the band sent them to us. That is pretty much the reason we have never done it, it is because I am super familiar with it. BRHG is one of my absolute favorite bands, and we consider those dudes friends.

[@pawelsjogard617]

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Very much appreciated, and now I know why there's no reaction for that video. The song itself is epic, so that's why I thought I'd better ask, in case you had missed it.

[@APREACTS]

I don't miss BRHG music. LOL I am all over that, one of my top 5 favorite bands.

[@Piia2023]

Thanks, great song, great band 🙌

[@APREACTS]

Don't thank us, thank Valtteri that made this happen. lol He picked a great song!!!

[@Piia2023]

A&P-REACTS and great poster too...

[@APREACTS]

We are getting it framed!

[@lukejonathan3048]

Enslaved is an awesome band.You guys should review a song off of their new album E.Either do Storm Son or The River's Mouth..or both?:)

[@Grungegirl1989]

Have you guys done a review of Black Winter Day by Amorphis?

[@Teloch]

If you go for more Amorphis, something from pre-Joutsen era would be nice. "Tuonela" maybe.

[@dale030272]

You guys really need to check out Decembre Noir-The forsaken earth :-)

[@thearchivist7824]

I have That box set too.

[@user-oo8oj1hl8k]

Skyforger is a great song by them. But they do have a _lot_ of good songs. They've put out 12 albums so far.

[@masestero]

When is Equilibrium coming? I can't wait anymore!

[@APREACTS]

We want to check it out soon, but not sure how soon, but it will be happening.

[@bencerafael5768]

Hey guys! You are doing a very good job! I'm really happy that somebody shows for the pepople that metal and rock music is good and there's nothing wrong with it. In my case it is very good to be a metalhead because at the university more than 70% of my teachers like rock and metal music. Moreover they're listening to it while doing experiments in the lab and sometimes they put on some rock music on the speakers of the auditorium before class starts. In addition, I have a song request from my country. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXubZnVnfMmUm5Y The name of the band is Ossian and the name of the song is Fényárban és félhomályban. In loan translation it means 'Light and Twilight'. Ossian is a hungarian band that was created in 1986 but they're still performing and relealsing new albums in almost every year. They play classical heavy metal and rock ballads. They're popular in central and eastern Europe. Furthermore, they were performing with Helloween in 1987, and they played with the Iron Maiden in 1988. After the concert the members of the Ossian gave some t-shirts for the Iron Maiden as a gift. And in the official live clip of the Maiden England that was recorded in 1988 you can see that Adrian Smith is wearing the Ossian's t-shirt. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpXYY6NoqJ1gnNk But the Hammerfall and the Manowar also made a song in hungarian language. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoKaiIKijcybj7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpbLXmd-h8eUaq8 Rock is eternal and indestructible! Greetings from Hungary!
