Marko Hietala - Isäni ääni [Reaction/Review]

[@taijat]

Father and son. Symbolic that you guys are listening thins song "lsäni ääni". Marco sings about his father and how his dad's voice still sings through him.

[@zoltansilling3755]

Translation for all the non-Finns: I feel and hear your voice, it echoes to eternity. You were broken, but I'll remember longer. Though a man's might is broken, the dust fills the vessel. Tonight as well I know you're singing me to sleep. My father's voice. I sing with it as well. My father's voice. Sing my son, you too. My father's voice. From the fathers ancient. My father's voice. I will remember it. And I know even if the gates of heaven were closed before you, here you were known as a man of justice. On my behalf, you can break down those gates just for fun.. Your goodness can't be chained by the letters of law. My father's voice. I sing with it as well. My father's voice. Sing my son, you too. My father's voice. From the fathers ancient. My father's voice. I will remember it. Although they claimed our flesh is earth. It's the ashes of stars, burning through the ages. The life and blood bound to it Fills the veins with song, with song. My father's voice. I sing with it as well. My father's voice. Sing my son, you too. My father's voice. From the fathers ancient. My father's voice. I will remember it. My father's voice. I sing with it as well. My father's voice. Sing my son, you too. My father's voice. From the fathers ancient. My father's voice. I will remember it.

Marco sings like an angel. Really liked your reaction to it. He has done songs like this with Nightwish as well. Check out The Islander or While your lips are still red, to get the full colours of Marco :)

[@mattikarhunen7382]

Marko said that an english version of this album will be released later this fall. And he will be doing a few shows this summer in Finland.

[@pauldoerwang4879]

"My father's voice...I sing with it too. My father's voice, sing with it my son." So beautiful & haunting.

[@henryetha]

I liked the song when I listened to it the first time in lyricstraining app.. Then I read the English translation.. and it got a whole other meaning. My father died january 2001, he was only 45 years old.

[@JackM.]

This song is amazing. The part after piano gives me goosebumps every time. I think there's more heavier stuff also in the album, Marko said there's songs similar to Black Sabbath. And yeah, the album's going to be a double-release, first in Finnish and later in English.

[@InquieteNightshade]

KeijoFinni That just means two CDs to buy.

[@markoraumala]

This song builds up nicely. Great song and lyrics. Can't wait till next fridays record relase. First time I was at Marko & Tarot gig in 1987, still one of my favorite bands.

[@Eva_H]

The album is all in Finnish with a small tour going around Finland, the album will be released in English at a later date This album is also 17 years in the making. In the same interview Marco also dropped that Nightwish is touring early next year. Can’t remember what the interview was I watched. If you want to here anything you wouldn’t automatically think of when you think Marco check out northern kings ( specifically in the air tonight and we don’t need another hero).

[@Piia2023]

The english allbum will be out in october

[@Eva_H]

Piia Lindqvist2019 Thanks for that, much appreciated, Good to know

[@Caldera01]

Finnish languange is phonetic, meaning every letter is pronounced as is. There aren't many such languange, Japanese is one that comes to mind. English for example is NOT a phonetic languange. The letter 'Ä' is pronounced a bit like the letter 'A' in the word "And" in english. For comparison in the word "Ahead" the 'A' is pronounced more like 'A' is pronounced in finnish. Not sure if this helps, or not. Also, reaction to Tuomas Holopainen's solo project? Times and Life of Scrooge?

[@margomusik]

Polish language is phonetic as well.

[@henryetha]

except for the "h". When studying finnish, I noticed they pronounce it like the german "ch", when it is not at the begin of a word. (idk of any similar sound in english?)

[@aceofhearts1232]

Marco is looking more and more like a wizard every day with that hair and beard. :)

[@hermitragnarok9804]

I love you guys

[@APREACTS]

Thank you!!!

[@Caldera01]

Finnish melancholy is ever pervasive, especially in music. You can hear it in Hector's "Lumi Teki Enkelin Eteiseen" and even in Sibelius' symphonies. There's always something dark and brooding deep beneath it all, which was PERFECTLY summed by Eppu Normaali, and I quote; "Tämä tuhansien murheellisten laulujen maa, joka tuhansiin järviin, juosta saa." "This land of thousands of sorrowful songs, which ought to drown in thousands of lakes." But truly, I've yet to hear anything quite so deep and touching, as melancholic as it i as Hector's Lumi Teki Enkelin Eteiseen, there's something magical about it in my mind.

[@Caldera01]

Lyrics to "Lumi Teki Enkelin Eteiseen" in english. Just the mere lyrics gets me to tear up, let alone the song itself. "Snow Made an Angel in the Hallway" The girl saw from the bridge how black the water was somewhere down below mother asked why does she write poems the child must be wrong in the head The girl cried for a moment and looked behind her the sigh of the city rang wild how could one feel like this land is their own the water was black as time And the water was black mother wore her black clothes and the priest was given coffee to drink and father was drunk, how else someone carried flowers to the hallway Others go to moon and others to Sweden some just have smaller salaries father went to Sweden 5 years ago mother was already unhappy then I put a cardboard cover on the window so at least someplace would be warm they sang "praise the Lord" on the radio on Sunday mother passed away And father went to Sweden mother flew to Heaven and the priest was given coffee to drink again and brother was drunk I saw he had cried snow made an angel in the hallway x2

[@dmphax]

What a beautiful song!

[@lakelili]

Heard an interview with him about it and he was saying something to the effect that there are times in life when you feel introspective and melancholy... Brilliant song and agree a stripped down version would be killer.

[@juliavanblarcom8666]

Oh wow.....that was beautiful!! 💕

I was really hoping you guys would do this one. Really good song.

[@sanelmatuominen7122]

Might be because of the long winter darkness or for some other reason but we Finnish enjoy of beautiful, sad, but kind of romantic melancholy vibes. Still somehow they come through warm and hopeful.

Have you listened at Tarot? Try Pyre of gods for example!

super song. respect marko!

[@williamhenriksson3595]

Heard the track a couple of days ago. It’s really nice! and I agree, would love to see it live acoustic. And I was actually expecting something along those lines (not alike Nightwish), since this is kind of his way/path of expressing something different (then what he do in nightwish). But I loved it! Stoked for his project 😊 Perfect reaction guys! Would love to see you react to ”Ibor & Aio” by Hulkoff (feat Brodén of Sabaton). Cheers, William

Marko actually send his bands (Tarot) album to Iron Maiden when they were seeking a new guy to sing. Probably got lost in the heap. Tarot is such a great band. Too bad they seem to be forever on hold after their drummer died in 2016.

It has an English version too - The Voice of My Father

[@strifer9821]

You should listen to The Islander by Nightwish if you want something more acoustic sung by Marco :)

[@AHVENAN]

The "target practice" dots are because the finnish alphabet has two more letters than the english one, Å and Ä, hard to explain in writing how they are pronounced, but the Å i guess you could say is pronounced kinda like the letter O in the english word "fond" (as in 'I am fond of...') and the Ä is pronounced pretty much like you pronounce the A in the english word "and"! The swedish alphabet also has these two letters and also annother one that you dont have in the english alphabet, Ö, which is pronounced a bit like the "U" in the english word "turn" I know it all sounds wierd to you but hopefully this will help you in the future if you react to any other songs titled in finnish or swedish!

[@topiraatikainen7450]

The Finnish alphabet also contains Ö.

[@dumnor]

Finnish does not use å, but does have ä, ö. Also it does not use b, c, q, w, x, z. So finnish actually has very few letters. Oh, and ng is stand in for a sound that does not have its own letter in use.

[@esakoivuniemi]

Still waiting for Song of Myself @ Wacken by Nightwish. C'mon guys. Do you have something against that song or what's the matter? ;)

[@toni.tapola]

(Late Late Night) 8 Dec 2019, Retrospective Reaction #273... Damn, the song title is a _brutal_ challenge to non-Finns - lots of _umlauts_ (two dots " ¨ " placed over a letter)... One has to keep in mind, that in Finnish, they are *not* _diacritics_ (a glyph such as _accent,_ _dot,_ or _curve_ added to a letter to change the sound-values of the letter, *or,* when used as _diaeresis_ mark, to show that the vowel with the " ¨ " is pronounced separately from the preceding vowel, like in the word "naïve", ... *or* some glyph even more "weird-looking"), but mark an entirely _different_ letter which _always_ corresponds to an entire different phoneme. In Finnish, 'a' and 'ä' are two diffrent letters/phonemes, and so are 'o' and 'ö' - but enough of that, I want to click "play" and see your reaction, as this is completely different from both *Nightwish* and *Tarot* (Marco's first band)!

My father's voice I feel and hear your voice, it echoes to the infinity. You broke down, but I can remember the time before it. Even if man's might crumbles, the dust will fill the bowl.
