THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE! Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Wintersun "Loneliness (Winter)"

[@stell4rt]

Having lost my dad from a heart disease in 2021. I think this is the most powerful song I ever heard. They said he died during the night... Washed away by the morning sun. It is the only song that does make me cry everytime I listen to it. In a sense it brings out all the pain I have hidden inside and that I do not even realize I have. In the end it's like a relief. This song is really a salvation, a therapy. Even more when I remember how my dad always loved the cold... Anyway. Sorry for the useless comment.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Not useless at all. I lost my dad as well. This song speaks of him in so many ways. Love ya friend.

Not the path taken by many, but you have found Wintersun. The greatest band many will never know. Oh and yes Jari sings with a passion and emotion few can equal. The whole band are phenomenal. I hope you have "Time" to check out more from them, if not in reactions at least in your own time.

You should absolutely listen to Wintersun’s song “Winter Madness” and have your mind blown by the one of the best solos in metal

[@SGgrayfox]

This is one of those songs that every time I hear it, my mind immediately says "this is perfect." This masterpiece is on a completely different level. I don't know that I've ever heard a song with such emotion. There really aren't any other words. It's absolutely amazing. The Forest That Weeps from the same album is also stunning.

Yo, that means a ton. Reading the lyrics and realizing its about loss. I have a few losses in my life that still stick me like a knife. I didn't realize this song was about his dad until I looked it up afterwards. I lost my dad and the lyrics of this song made me think of him.

So true!

[@jabgibson]

I love Wintersun. Loneliness is a great choice. I also suggest the Time I album, specifically "Sons of Winter and Stars" and "Time". It's great to see a metal head reacting to metal. It's very easy to get closed into a small segment of the greater spectrum, and we often find many years later we have missed a lot. I know I did. I am 43 and I probably spent 15 of those 43 years listening to the same stuff all within a narrow definition of metal.

[@Patralgan]

The reason I love reaction videos is that it's the closest thing to being able to re-experience things the first time, which is very precious. That being said, I've seen hundreds of Wintersun reaction videos in KZbin and this one just might be my favorite so far. You almost got as emotional as I did back in 2017 when this came out. This song means so much to me and it would be my all time favorite song, easily, if it wasn't for the song that came before it in the album: Eternal Darkness (Autumn), I'll check your reaction to it next. Thank you for this video 👍❤️

Totally with you on the overwhelming beauty of the lyrics, and "The weight of the world quietly crushed the dying light". The alliteration of the 'weight' of the 'world', and 'quietly crushed', combined with the imagery and the emotion of his voice can just break me. I don't really read or follow poetry, but the lyrics of 'Loneliness' take me out of the music and make me realize I'm reading immensely powerful, beautiful, tragic poetry. Very, very few songs have ever done that.

This would def be a song I'd listen to during depression. Many people don't know that depression can make you feel very numb and empty. And there are moments you need to feel the sadness that's underneath it. You need moments to bathe in your own pain and sadness. Allowing yourself to feel so intensely. In a weird way I see it as a warm blanket of sadness. Consolation through music. Even though the songs are super sad/negative. But for some reason, I get the feeling you might understand.

I am new to listening to your reactions so am a little late to the party. You said you had asked for sad songs. I would like to recommend what I refer to as the Journey of Sorrow and Loss. It is actually 3 songs. 1-Trees of Eternity - Broken Mirror The group Trees of Eternity was a collaboration between Juha Raivio (guitarist for Swallow the Sun) and Aleah Stanbridge. They became a couple on a previous collaboration and created this group together. Alleah died of cancer before their album was released. 2-Hallatar - My Mistake Hallatar was Juha writing music after Alleah died, and using her lyrics and poems she had left behind. 3-Swallow The Sun - Lumina Aurea While this is not Swallow the Sun's normal sound (Doom/Death which I love as well) it is a song of atmosphere relating to misery and darkness and the hole that was left in Juha's life after Aleah died.

To continue the story: Hallatar: My mistake kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml6ZZ2R_jNdoh7M With Juha Raivio, Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis, former HIM drummer, Gas Lipstick & Draconian vocalist, Heike Langhans. "The music of Finland's Hallatar is born from a place of great loss and sadness. Juha Raivio, of Trees of Eternity and Swallow the Sun, constructed the new death doom project following the loss of his partner , Aleah. "After the death of my beloved and my life partner Aleah Starbridge on April 18th a year ago; I have been gathering writings, lyrics, and the poems of Aleah to keep them safe and close to my heart." Raivio said in a press release for the band's upcoming debut record. "About one month after the world came down on the blackest day of my life; I knew I needed to pick up the guitar and try to create something or I would be truly destroyed." " What I see there: the musicians comin around him, who lost, and sharing the grief, just being there and keeping him in hold. (Their facial expressions and presence tell everything)

Julia had to retire from drumming and Kai Hahto the drummer from this band took his place. Kai taught Jukka and was Jukka's recommended replacement. Jukka a plays with power and emotion. Kai is a technical drumming genius and can play any style.
