Insomnium-The River (Lyrics on video) HD

[@davidkramer151]

Some say Finland is the land of alcohol, and depression. I say it is the land of musical genius!

[@quilmesdave]

I was there 45 days ago. Beautiful place. Most people speak english and engage in conversations. Contrary to what I thought, I had a really nice experience.

[@rtuaari]

Often those things goes hand in hand

[@davidkramer151]

@@rtuaari So true.

[@rtuaari]

@@davidkramer151 And it creates us great music :)

[@THAMNOS]

That's because of the depression there is so much great music. Honestly, as a metal musician, I would love to move to Finland just to experience this feeling of 'depression' to get inspired. This may sound weird, but I always was writing better music when I was sad and I kinda got used to it and liked this aspect of it

[@gene6629]

What an absolutely brilliant song! I'm almost 50 and a long time Insomnium fan. This might be my all time favorite song! I listened to Insomnium as my mother was dying. I can't describe the feelings I had but these songs lifted me through the entire ordeal, especially nearing the end of her days. Truly amazing music and lyrics!

[@thegatesofsleep]

Gene May she rest in peace. Glad you found this brilliant band. It really is more than just music. It becomes apart of you. I'll listen to insomnium until the end of my days.

[@Alone1am]

Gene i am 35. And you are the people i take inspiration to put effort in flowing with good music (art). One day ill be 50 and listening to it convinced with my heart!

[@metalgrootvader6832]

Gene, I found metal in the early 80's a few years after my father died. It filled so many voids in me. Later in life I went through a horrible, abusive marriage and metal found me and brought me back into the fold. I hope this message finds you with peace in your heart. \m/

[@adamcole128]

Rest in peace to your mom

[@metadarkstar5684]

This was fucking beautiful.

[@moonikaa3110]

The whole album is just a masterpiece. The River is my favourite Insomnium song 🤘

[@rohitb2607]

These words deserve a Nobel Prize. This is just blissful poetry, the metal just augments the sorrow even more.

[@tobiassperber7439]

4:24 - 5:54 that part gave me the biggest goosebumps and Tears in my life...so unbelieveable that Insomnium still give me that feeling since over 10 years

[@bodomterror92]

There has always been an afterthought that i might some day move away from Insomnium like we do generally with music as we grow up, mature and our tastes change for better or for worse, but this band is special. I have been listening to Insomnium since 2011 and it still is my most favourite band of all time. I pray to all the gods that when i be laying on my deathbed , let there be insomnium playing in the background. This band is just surreal. It pierces right into your soul. Thank you Insomnium for being such an integral part of my existence on this planet as a human being.

[@metadarkstar5684]

There isn't another band that I'm aware of that can emit such a monstrous roar yet create this mental scene of ecstatic beauty and wonder. Their songs cool the fires of time and allow the rejuvenating feeling of youth and energy to flow within again. Their sound, their words make the world feel it's gripped by my hands and I hold the power to change. And It's not often you witness a band that leaves you mesmerized in its auditory precence. Metal is for and from the butterflies. 🦋

[@DanielMtRdz]

The melodies from this band are far beyond human, this album is a masterpiece, I cannot explain the feelings I get when I listen to them!

[@prabeshdevkota4251]

Old is my moon - Circle is complete Long has been the way - The day is giving in The dusk is thickening, cold engulfs the shore I hear across the stream as Charon blows the horn One more summer I ask for, I crave One more autumn just to finish my song Grant me this wish, bestow this gift Ye noble gods I pray When all is done, I'll go down with the sun And welcome the twilight that falls I know it's in vain For it's my time There is no delay Last light will hide Hearken now to the trumpet call As it echoes in the dark (whirls through the night) Time has come to say the farewells Step down into the shades I scrape the sand that's running out, slipping away Dripping now through this weary hands Vanishing into thin air All I ask is one more day to redeem it all Then gladly I will pass and welcome the silent world I know it's in vain For it's my time There is no delay Last light will hide Hearken now to the trumpet call As it echoes in the dark (whirls through the night) Time has come to say the farewells Step down into the shades With no sounds, upon the calm stream The black boat moves, like mist on the waves Slowly Charon rows, slowly sky turns Stars fade away, we enter the shades But a wanderer I am on the heaths of night On this shore now ends, ends my prolonged path I am home at last Tonight my dust is being, being gathered here And brought before my father Set before his throne, I am home at last

[@BlueBanana5000]

Dat riff starting at 6:20 is beyond awesome....goosebumps!

[@jazontask4787]

at 4:22 he finally did it

[@crysata704]

im not sure if its coincidence but the melody on the main riff are similar to Nargaroth - Seven tears are flowing to the river, also both songs have a title about rivers lol... but anyways amazing song

[@AmitSwamy82]

Salute this band... Awesome... They give hell like a trip... Beautiful... Beyond words ..class in its own and a true masterpiece

[@AmitSwamy82]

It's the most underrated song ... It's nuts.. it's one of the best song I have heard in recent times

7. The River [Music: Vanhala & Sevänen; Lyrics: Sevänen] Old is my moon - Circle is complete Long has been the way - The day is giving in The dusk is thickening, cold engulfs the shore I hear across the stream as Charon blows the horn One more summer I ask for, I crave One more autumn just to finish my song Grant me this wish, bestow this gift Ye noble gods I pray When all is done, I'll go down with the sun And welcome the twilight that falls I know its in vain For it's my time There is no delay Last light will hide Hearken now to the trumpet call As it echoes in the dark (whirls through the night) Time has come to say the farewells Step down into the shades I scrape the sand that's running out, slipping away Dripping now through this weary hands Vanishing into thin air All I ask is one more day to redeem it all Then gladly I will pass and welcome the silent world With no sound, upon the calm stream The black boat moves, like mist on the waves Slowly Charon rows, slowly sky turns Stars fade away, we enter the shades But a wanderer I am on the heaths of night On this shore now ends my prolonged path I am home at last Tonight my dust is being gathered here And brought before my father Set before his throne, I am home at last

[@abguitar99]

Best song of the album.

[@MeTheRareBird]

why this gloomy scenery is so appealing?? its a beauty of great measures to my eyes but I cannot see why, isnt happy stuff supposed to be the desired thing?? insomniums lyrics have been one of the best in music i have ever listened to.

Thanks Insomnium ... Your songs are so beautiful... All or your albums is a masterpiece

[@kathleenpaquet]

I can say that Insomnium is my favorite death melo band... intelligent musicians, great melodies every time... thanks to exist! \m/

[@spacedragon5261]

[@Murmalow]

0:53-1:44 are so haunting and sorrowful! And right after that, 1:45-1:52 is so powerful! I love those parts (and the rest of the song too) :D

[@DjCooneProjects]

FUcking Goose bumps on the part With no sound, upon the calm stream The black boat moves, like mist on the waves Slowly Charon rows, slowly sky turns Stars fade away, we enter the shades

[@ilyesmokrani3307]

Love it

[@shawarmaking4071]

it's about Acheron, a river from infern in greek mythology

[@Gretanor]

Oh yes,you are right!! I am fortunate enough to live in Greece and also near Acheron! It's a magnificent scenery despite tha fact that it's the place where Charon lives :P

[@sizoduke]

Gretanor απο που εισαι ρε πατριωτη;; χαχαχ

[@Gretanor]

sizo duke σορρυ για την καθηστερηση!! :P απο Κοζάνη,σχετικά κοντά!

[@dihatzhs]

+Teron Gorefiend I think Acheron was the beggining of it,aka the part of Styx that was on the upper world.Charon didnt cross it,since he passed the passengers on the ohter side when they were already in the underworld.Not sure about this tho fyi

[@Shortokeiki]

Depends on the version of the myths I suppose. In Dante's Divine Comedy, Charon ferries across Acheron between Purgatory and Hell, while Phlegyas ferries across the Styx in the 5th circle. Other versions simply say Charon ferried across the Styx to Hell.

[@DalkSarraroZerkulin]

Lately at work I've been listening to music and kinda bored. But this is a new good sound.

[@LuciePasquet]

It's so powerful !

[@tedmedford8554]

Powerful.

[@Qratz69]

fuck man, I keep on returning to this. If Skyrim had metal in it, Insomnium would be a perfect choice, majestic.

[@Gretanor]

It's a great combination!

Always when I think about my own funeral I get as excited as if I plan my wedding. You have the power to be remembered in a perfect way and to weep away tears eith your loved songs and you have somethinge to die for. And I think this song would be on my list.

[@sylvainroche5884]

Funeral belong to people who bury you ^^

[@theodorebear6714]

Find me some clown music for my friend's funeral, o' funeral-music-finder.

[@jackbower7732]

I want voice of the sole by death.

[@ExaltedMarauder]

This song is amazing to listen to while reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. The sadness, the dread of the constant threat of Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters... this music really encompasses the emotion behind the characters. So yes, I reread the series to Insomnium, and their music really takes you to that world. Don't hate. Lol

[@tilakdutta7970]

Correct me if I'm wrong. They are definitely a melodic death metal band, but I feel they are sort of using Progressive Metal touches in their compositions as well. Is it?

[@devinhaslebacher2948]

John-Vidar Antonsen a lot of their songs have elements of black metal, and progressive metal. The complexity of this band is the reason I think they may be one of the greatest

[@theodorebear6714]

Good song but it would be better as a psychological dissertation on pagan thought regarding mortality and the inevitability of death in the cycles of this world. I guess that can be a very emotional concept though and song is ideal for emotional convayance.
