My Ridiculous Reaction to Time II

[@WintersunJari]

You are welcome! 🙂🤘

[@kcvee5192]

Respect brother.

[@Mulukkis]

When you're back at touring, first thing you do is have a private gig for this guy! Nothing but respect for making a grown man cry 🔥

[@burninflames]

@WintersunJari you're making 30 year old men cry, man... Im on board since I was 13-14 years old, I was browsing obsessively the Wintersun Forums back in the day

[@hessiankyojin]

We are willing to pay you money for you to play the whole Time album, especially Silver Leaves.

[@slowvibes9595]

I shed some tears too for Silver Leaves. Jari, I never heard a song so personal like that ever from you.

[@DrewThr91]

"why does music do this?" I feel bad for anyone who can't have these emotions when listening to music

[@Patralgan]

I've listened this song on repeat at least 30 times a day for the past week. This is my life now. I never get bored of it.

[@Kozaq7890]

Crazy to think a lot of us cried at almost the exact same moment. Much love for everyone here. We made it

[@antronixful]

the entire album is so fucking beautiful

[@ivansalvado]

Man, I cried like a baby along the entire album. It was a roller coaster of emotions, and it was beautiful. It still makes me cry when I hear it.

[@cringelorddivine9337]

The purest reaction to a new piece of music I've ever seen, I felt it when you said "This album means so much to me" man. So happy you finally got to experience it after so many years.

[@os.lisboa]

I teared up with One with the Shadows and Silver Leaves

[@FinnishUncleSam]

It is absolutely ok to react this way.

[@GermanGarciaHN]

My dude, I’ve seen myself through your reaction…that was how I felt and how I’ve been feeling since. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ilikevideos4868]

After listening to Time II (and just staring blankly into nothingness afterwards just like when I first heard Time I) I just had to listen to a few songs from the Legendary Early Demos. Not albums from start to finish, just picking songs based on their names. Man, I feel like a teenager again! It's midnight, I should be sleeping, but here I am on my computer discovering new kickass melodic death metal songs!! All these emotions I felt all those years ago, amplified by all the knowledge and experiences I have gained during those years. I feel like I have too much to say and I'm speechless at the same time

[@ilikevideos4868]

I know you won't have the same experience (I watched your last video) but I just wanted to share somewhere

[@Hexen555]

Journey through night is brutal like holy s***l!

[@ilikevideos4868]

​@@Hexen555 Straight up black metal! Didn't have time to listen to everything yet but my favourites are Powers Inside, Alone in the Moonshine, My Way and above all else To The Mountains

[@winterbear8633]

It's like the LimeWire days

[@JohnDoe-rj8nd]

Please post the rest! I feel like I am vicariously listening to the album again for the first time with you watching this.

[@00SuperHAN00]

Listening to time 1 2.0 and time 2 together is an epic spiritual journey, there is absolutely nothing like it. Hail Jari!

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Especially somewhere a little far from living areas, like in the forest

[@GhoulishGrinMedia]

Music is what makes life worth living. Never feel ashamed of letting the magic of great music flow through your veins.

[@TheModernHermeticist]

They say Paganini used to make grown men cry in the streets with his playing, and with Jari today I totally get it.

[@Patralgan]

This reaction is the greatest oooo-one! Thank you so much Ollie! ❤️🙏

[@ChrisS30097]

I teared up as well when I first heard The Way of the Fire

[@hessiankyojin]

It’s like the feeling of “We finally made it.”

[@SGgrayfox]

No need to feel sorry or ridiculous at all. This is the mark of amazing songwriting and a journey that is finally complete after so long. It's a very real, visceral reaction. A lot of us feel the same way I think.

[@MiikeMonts]

Dude I did the exact same thing as you. It was very late last night, I sat there with headphones on and scrolled through the BOOKlet with each song just in pure awe...Fields of Snow absolutely rocks even though it's as we expected, and The Way of the Fire is just...unreal.I cannot believe a studio version is finally here. Now I sit here crying watching you, Jari's music is just... more than words can describe

[@manuelsanchezarroyo1829]

Man!! I used to watch all your content when The forest Seasons was announced. I was obsessed with Wintersun from the moment I decided to listen to Time I, just because I liked the cover of the album on a youtube video. From that point on, I've been a huge fan. I' forgot about this channel a few years ago but today I was listening to this song and suddenly remembered you and the cool videos you used to upload making really fun content and your own remixes. I really did not expect this sincere reaction, but I'm really happy that it was so deep of an experience for you. I think this song is beyond what words can describe, so no question how it hit you so hard, knowing what this band means to you.

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

Time as a whole album is probably the best metal album of all time

[@Patralgan]

I really want to see your reaction to the rest of the songs. Especially Storm. Every time I listen to it I seem to lose my shit more and more. Absolutely stellar

[@doktermanhattan]

i can relate to this so much more than any reaction video ive ever seen. Finally hearing this song the way it was meant to be heard was one of the most satisfying feelings ever. It brought tears to my eyes too

[@BobbyHop-fp4vg]

I bawled on Silver Leaves.

[@Triforce12345678]

Hey wintersunextras. Great to see a reaction from you after seeing you in the comments everywhere for at least 10years. You are amazing 😃

[@j1ssive488]

Well I can say I also cried for all songs when I heard them 1st time. And still after like 20+ times I take rough emotional hits from those songs and cry. All songs are soooo beautiful and well produced. It's amazing. One day my girlfriend cried because I cried to them. Any other bands havent done this Storm (pun intended) in me when I listen them so I guess it just simply tells who can really do and produce something really spectacular to us and who cannot. Kiitos Jari, *kättely ja silmiinkatsominen* !

[@Mranasbee]

Silver leaves and i heard jari sing one point in finnish, it was totally suprised me... im finnish :)

[@abioqaas]

Same. I knew he would do it because I read the interview in Inferno magazine. Those lyrics are so damn beautiful and emotional that I can't help but cry unless I muster all of my strength to keep myself together. Just absolutely beautiful song.

[@PsyphaX09]

I was surprised when he suddenly started singing in Finnish. lol

[@mungbean60]

There's no shame in being overwhelmed by something so beautiful, especially after such a long wait. Many of us had similar reactions. Greetings from Brisbane ❤

[@throughtheshadows_]

I was sitting there just like you, it was just too much after all this time. Love this album so much!

[@AsIfItNeverWas]

Don't feel ashamed at all, man. Listening to this was so emotional for me too. It was also The Way Of The Fire that made me cry even though it was technically the least emotional and the least melancholic. It was so beautiful to hear it in its full studio glory after listening to the ultimate version you uploaded for so long

[@KalisthenicsKid]

Frrrr we finally got it after so many years listening to rough versions

[@joseluisreyes1336]

I' m crying to, it is a great album, epic , sensitive, powerful and melodic

[@asgart16]

We all waited soooo loooong for this, but it was worth it!!!! Thank you for this reaction man! I hope you also recorded yourself listening to the other songs for the first TIME and will also upload these!

[@nicolai_lvl138]

My reaction was the same. After the first notes of Fields of Snow my hands was shaking and my heart races 200 bpm. And when The Way of the Fire starts the tears starts to flow. Absolutely brilliant album, it was worth the waiting ❤

[@Ghost-In-The-Machine27]

Man I teared up with the 2 powerhouses 'The Way of The Fire' and 'Storm'

[@jonathan.bohn97]

My reaction was the same when listening to Fields Of Snow and The Way Of The Fire. It's so incredible what music can do and how It can affect you emotionally. Particularly when you waited so many years

[@ziltoidtheomniscient2398]

I was scared to listen to Time II. Took me three days. Part of it was denial that this much time has passed since 2012 and how much different of a person I am now. Feeling this excited about Wintersun again reminds me of good and bad times, but I'm filled with joy nonetheless.

[@thomassparks1476]

We’re all crying like babies right now! You’re not alone!!! Best $50 I’ve ever spent!!!!!

[@guillaumethomasdoerig]

Ollie, mate!!! This is a glorious day for us all! Cheers and happy listening!

[@LuanFilipe]

Oh man, I teared up too on the first listening and I cried watching you now. This album (and this song specially) is absolutely fantastic

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

Don't feel ridiculous! You're not ridiculous, because being able to feel so much because of music is just something absolutely beautiful and the greatest compliment an artist can get! And it's beautiful to see others do so as well! I myself had goosebumps all the way through and also teared up a little. It was when I first heard Silver Leaves where I actually started to cry out loud like someone going through a breakup. (I'm not, I'm very much still together with my partner.) Didn't do anything afterwards but play my favorite game to process it. Didn't even make dinner and eat. I was just overwhelmed with emotions for the rest of the day. Even the next day, I wanted to do things, but ended up doing nothing because I listened to the album again and was yet again too emotional for the rest of the day. I thought of recording my reaction as well but in the end I thought I would think too much about the camera and what I had to say and was too worried it would take me out. So all I did was turn the lights of, lie down in bed with my headphones, have my eyes closed and just listen and let my brain visualize. I did end up taking a picture of me having very red and teary eyes and posted it in the Wintersun Fans Facebook group

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

This just felt like the first time I listened to Time I... Nothing but emotions all the way through...

[@WintersunExtras]

I recorded my reaction to the rest of the album, but the beginning here is where it all came out.

[@ramadeusmusic]

will you share the rest

[@WintersunExtras]

@@ramadeusmusic Haven't decided yet, I need to go through it and see if I say/do anything worth sharing

[@MaggiWuerz]

Man I just want to see happy faces of people that are listeing to Time II, do it :D

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

[@dragonforks93]

Thanks for keeping us all covered with the live mixes and tiding us over until the day finally arrived. Keep up being awesome!

[@aineshcubing]

Beautiful reaction ❤ it’s at times like this that I’m truly thankful and dumbfounded that we’re able to experience the wonder that is music. And especially seeing how songs that mean so much to me also mean so much to others

[@leoric2200]

Dude, so happy for you, really...I personally did the opposite, I was smiling ear to ear during the whole album..well everyone express his happiness in his way :)))

[@Patralgan]

Ever since Time I 2.0 and Time II was released, I've hardly listened to anything else. It's just the ultimate musical experience. I don't need anything else.

[@Magn0Dota]

While I didn't actually cry, I felt a lot of emotions, it doesn't feel real but yet it's still blasting my years with wonderful melodies! It's real man! We made it! Time II is real and it's amazing!

[@talviyotherian]

Dudeeeee this was a trip… 12 years of waiting. Just think… I was in Kindergarten when Time I came out… now an adult, in college, in a committed relationship, have my life (somewhat) together… it’s absolutely amazing to think about how much I, and everyone else, has grown since Time I. For me, was it worth the wait? YES. 100%. I would wait another 12 years if I had to. This is the most amazing piece of music I’ve ever heard. (Sorry for the rant haha)

[@BERIALWIGLAF]

"Why does music do this?"... well, music is the language of the soul my friend.

[@Xiphos1349]

Duuuude my emotions hit hard when I heard the second "Fire the oldest oooOOooone". So amazing.

[@CelestiC]

Oh man I feel you…the soli and the harmonies during them are a out of this world. Everything else is on point. I have listened to this masterpiece and now I can die in piece

[@jake.the.riffer]

I teared up as soon as the main melody of Fields of Snow came in lol

[@Hrui3859]

Please, if you have done first time reactions to the rest of Time II, please share them 🙏😊

[@unmanifest6307]

I listened with the PDF just like this and bawled every track. Amazing enrrgy

[@scottchadburn1535]

So glad you did this thank you 🥹🤘🏻👏🏻

[@ilikevideos4868]

Overall thoughts on Time II I was surprised at how different it was from Time I, and how much it had that feeling of the debut album! But all in all it was what I expected it to be, and a bit more. Needs many many more listens though, as Time I did. But now I need to get some sleep, got work tomorrow :/

[@ilikevideos4868]

Oh, and Storm is SO MUCH BETTER than I expected! Live versions don't do it justice

[@ilikevideos4868]

After the second listen and onwards I started to notice the more subtle details that are reminicent on Time I. It feels more and more like a continuation of the story rather than a sequal, if that makes sense. It's little subtle things I definitely didn't notice on the first listen.

[@ilikevideos4868]

I can't get over Silver Leaves. I wasn't too into it on the first listen but now I'm obsessed with it. Listening to it multiple times a day every day. Exact same happened with Time, but back then it was me growing older and because of that appriciating Time more than I initially did

[@MapleSyrup666]

It's hard to not get emotional when this fucking band means so much to all of us. New Wintersun releases are only so few and far between and 7 years was really a long ass wait. Hopefully album 5 is only 2 or 3 years away with how far along it apparently is.

[@Isndar]

The wait is over, the wait was worth it. I'm happy for everyone throughout this 12 years getting what we waited for Time II.

[@TTERBKR44]

Just want to thank you for your channel and for this video you've uploaded 😊. Your Reaction was the same as mine TEARS😢 AND JUST IN AWE😅.

[@franciscozarzosogil9075]

I didn't cry, but I had the eyes like plates and I had goosebumps during the whole album.

[@AndreaLops]

I cried with you. Thanks for sharing❤

[@drabbster]

On my first listen I was so excited, I could barely actually LISTEN to the album :D I was just like you - "It's right here, unbelievable! I've finally got it and I'm such a happy man, IT'S NEW WINTERSUN!!!!!" was going through my head more than the actual music itself on first listen :D

[@thewildhealer541]

It really doesn't feel like it was 7 years ago that The Forest Seasons dropped. Those were simpler times for me. And it's hard to grasp that this mythical and epic album finally dropped after 12 years. It felt like this album would always be a meme and I lost hope in Jari for a while there I must admit. But he finally did it! Love the album and it's certainly a grower just like the first Time. Wonderful album, it has the feel of the debut album alot of times in my opinion. It's a big moment for all of us fans.

[@thewildhealer541]

Storm, to me, was the most surprising song for me. It's almost my favorite right now. Silver Leaves is also growing on me alot.

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Now we need to wait until Wintersun goes on tour and Ollie meets Jari😁

[@Ysiyr]

Okay not just me that had this reaction 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

[@Dargorthverse]

On my first listen I was a bit underwhelmed (probably because I was still half asleep), but later I cried too, and I cried a lot, from every song. Every bloody time now. So it's all good man))

[@ZonZorZerx]

Never let the first impression fool you on Wintersun music. Too complex and layered. Need several spins to capture everything.

[@Dargorthverse]

@@ZonZorZerx um, to whom are you replying? I'm long time fan, no need to explain Wintersun to me.

[@winterbear8633]

So happy for you dude! Tis a great album

[@Clamator]

I have goosebumps all over my body and I only listened to the first track! Amazing

[@danielfurr7356]

Would've loved to see your reaction to the rest of the album! Although, TWOTH is by far the highlight of the album for me.

[@SilverAsakura]

The Way of the Fire solo made me tear up. Such a good album. I would feel like I'm disrespecting it if I heard it as "background music" while I work. On first listen, my favorite has been Storm. Might be because of the intro and the lyrics.

[@Patralgan]

I can't wait to watch this reaction but I have to wait because I still have to wait until tomorrow evening until I get to listen the album myself

[@Metalletsplay]

Such a Masterpiece and trust me. u Aint crying alone .

[@Hexen555]

I had same reaction. On Silver leaves i broke forever

[@fredrikbillington6029]

I couldnt agree more, i cried when i first heard the album. Listening to the TIME package, i recommend the 2 dbl limit version (my humble opinion), and listening to Time 1 2.0 and time 2 back to back. its a magical experience!

[@arminrauls6664]

I feel you brother.

Coming back to this video after few days. I would love to see your reaction to the rest of the album. Especially Silver Leaves, if u still have that footage lying around.

[@chogan73]

Absolute masterpiece. I always used to think one day I'm gonna be able to listen to Silver Leaves whenever I want....never imagined it'd be this good. Speaking of which, anyone have a translation for the Finnish lyrics? idk how reliable google translate is.

[@abioqaas]

Finn here. The lyrics go roughly like this: Some day I will see you again But my time is at an end I leave a piece of myself Among the silver leaves Some day I will hear the silence Filling this void And at the end I shall bury myself among the silver leaves

[@JohnDoe-rj8nd]

I had the same reaction when I heard the samples in the Indiegogo campaign video. The moment the melody in One With The Shadows hit I just lost it... All I could think was "It's so damn beautiful" and "I've waited so damn long to hear this". The emotion was overwhelming. I love this video because it captures that feeling, an incredibly rare and beautiful moment.

[@Slashixuz]

Amazing, so I am not the only emotional person when it comes to music, hehe. I have read a lot of hate reviews so far so I'm so curious what will be my opinion about this album. So far there are 0 albums by Jari that I dislike. Insane guitar solos in this track. It is like Jari visited japan and made a song about the journey. Does anyone know when exactly will it be out on youtube music?

[@archcynic404]

Not worth twelve years of waiting. But still good. People are overreacting because it just came out, but all the sounds are relatively things that have all been done before by this band. Like yeah this is more wintersun, and that’s good. But was it twelve years worth of waiting good? This could have all been done in less than three for an album barely reaching the 50 minute mark. Why do I say that? Forest Seasons exists, and shows material can be created in a far shorter timeframe and still sound fantastic. It’s good. But was it really worth twelve years and all the hype? Not sure on that one. We’ll have to see after the honeymoon phase dies down. Better late than never!

[@miharoskar]

I respect the work they've put in this, but it sounds much too synthetic for my taste. No life, no emotions. Too much quasi audiophile high frequencies and bass, and huge dips in other parts of frequency spectrum. ...Music is so dead that it works good only as an unobtrusive background noise.
