Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Acoustic Making-Of

[@AeroMetalMoe]

It's so satisfying to see that you guys have the same problems as me when recording. When the recording light is on I automatically lose 80% of my skill and f*ck up parts that normally are no problem ^^

[@angrymadcat]

ikr?

[@mjkcomposer]

i have an existential crisis every time i record.

[@menalvagor]

Can say that again.

[@Pauligrinder]

I always seem to manage to play all the really difficult parts with ease when recording but then manage to fuck up some really simple things 1000 times in a row :D

[@AeroMetalMoe]

Haha :D I think it's because I'm somehow a perfectionist when it comes to recording my stuff. If there is even the slightest mistake during slow and easy parts it has a huge impact and can easily be heard at the end result ^^ I always thought I'm the only one with this problem....well, this gives me hope! :D

[@smackanimals]

At 0:43 I like to imagine Teemu entering the recording space, eating a packet of crisp chips and chewing loudly.

[@Silver.Leaves]

Tears will be shed in oceans when the world hears this.

[@JustHaroon56]

Lmao 🤘🏻🤣 👍🏻

[@MsDasnake]

So this is why it took so long xD

[@yuli3873]

2:35 seems like Jari's learning guitar for the first time XD Love you guys! c:

[@MihawkFTW]

I know you will probably not read this, but fuck whatever: I seriously want to thank you for making this song, my eyes always tear up from the melody. It's genuinely beautiful and touching to listen to just parts of this song, even when they're just instrumental. The expression you create is immensely strong and shakes my whole body. It's been a long time since music has done that to me and therefor I can't thank you enough. Supported your campaign and can't wait to get my hands on the full product. Thank you for staying strong and sharing your beautiful art with us!

[@yrkettelhake21]

I feel ya bro

[@Patralgan]

MihawkFTW this song touches me more deeply than any other song before and we haven't even heard that much of the vocals yet.

[@checkeredacorn2]

touches me more than my local priest

[@GrooveDuude]

PawelLL VEVO whoa. That is deep!

[@virnalinebrida-sunga7748]

Groove Duude yes it is DEEP

[@akaRaccoon]

The fact that he says "vittu" so calmly too LMAO

[@supercasterjacy]

Gotta love this man, he has no problem showing us his human side

[@deathsgaze5826]

Odd to see my guitar god make mistakes.

[@Kcvee777]

Lol

[@WintersunJari]

Don't laugh! :D

[@deathsgaze5826]

WintersunJari Man never thought you would look like me while making mistakes... I guess every guitarist has something in common no matter the skill level. Sorry I laughed my ass off. It is really odd after seeing you nail mind blowing sweeps and make mistakes while doing some simple arpeggios xD .

[@Kcvee777]

+WintersunJari this always happens to me, watching it happen to you is actually inspiring! The human side of jaris guitar playing!

[@thordiesel6.7]

It was oddly satisfying and inspiring to see that one of my idols has some of the same struggles as I do.

[@salhak77]

Oh the joy of recording music.

[@fightstrike]

Do one, or do tons of different albums. I don't care, I will get all of them!

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

7:58 "We got the money shot!!!!"

[@Spectre67Productions]

This is what the desire for perfection looks like. Loneliness was such a labor of love for Jari it is no surprise it was so difficult.

[@WintersunJari]

Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Acoustic Making-Of. FOREST PACKAGE STILL AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 30th! ORDER HERE: www.indiegogo.com/projects/wintersun-crowdfunding Recording acoustic guitars is fun... NOT! :D

[@PsyphaX09]

Now we know how frustrating it is to record such piece of Godly music. Hail WINTERSUN!

[@Silver.Leaves]

This is just a simple riff. But it's like written by God himself.

[@anniespassion1093]

WintersunJari Its beautiful! Thank you!

[@jfbrko290]

As much as I loved the Loneliness Acoustic track from when I first heard it, I definitely feel like I have even more of a newfound appreciation for the song now. The work Jari puts into the perfection of every single string pluck here seems so grueling. Labor of love, that's for sure!

[@karljensen6768]

Absolutely 🤗🤗

[@8ball3456]

The trials and tribulations of recording acoustic guitar, as massive pain in the ass but definitely sounds worth it!

[@matiasa.vargas2725]

my gosh... this is pure magic! I don't understand how someone could dislike this... This is more than art. You guys are something else, out of this world!

[@Kekoapono]

Such a humble setup, and yet the final mix sounds so amazing.

[@00SuperHAN00]

Your music is like a drug Jari. It makes me high :)

[@blazejecar]

0:14 perfectly describes this song

[@nefelisolia7376]

Vittu! XD The song sounds amazing, I'm sure it's gonna be far beyond epic!

[@suvivainio134]

KIITOS tästä videosta, erittäin rohkaisevaa JA lohduttavaa 😄 Menestyksen uudet kriteerit on luotu! Aloitin kitaransoiton 3 päivää sitten, ja vittu-sana livahtaa huulilta tämän tästä. Ehkä 20v päästä sana pääsee ilmoille vähän harvemmin JA samalla tyyneydellä mitä tässä videossa näytettiin 😄 Olkoon tämä uusi tavoitteeni!

[@Iinky]

This is exactly what I feel: There is always one Song, that is very very emotional. In Wintersun it was Sleeping Stars, in Time I it was Land of Snow and Sorrow and in Seasons it is Loneliness. And I swear to every god in the world, I had so fucking big tears in my eyes by first listening, it was like a vulcano of emotions. Mixed emotions. Some good, too. Then I realized, that I am still alive and should be thankful, that I can feel such intensive, strong feelings. I listen to metal since I was a kid, but no band ever brought me to tears, like you did, Jari. I supported you, by buying and I will repeat. Thanks for rumble my feelings and let me feel alive, like I never did before! That is 100% pure art. Thank you, I love you!

[@Mat-zt4bi]

You are not a man

[@Iinky]

@@Mat-zt4bi it's okay for me. Being not a man is better than being stupid as fuck 🙂

[@jonravenwulf7788]

Oh man my ears are so happy thank you Wintersun from the bottom of my Frozen Heart.

[@Fabinesss]

The most beautiful song in the world.

[@mrlokii704]

start 7:00 sound like you flying between in the mountain and sky..~~

[@ToastedCigar]

Haha the amount of "Vittu" here. That is also my most frequently used word when recording.

[@AlThor]

Chords at 7:00 : Gm - Dm (x4) / Gm Bb Dm C (x4) ...

[@AJAX09KL9]

thanks hero

[@petercarlson811]

It seems like "vitto" is a very useful word when recording in Finland ;)

[@Bounsweed]

It is actually vittu which is a slang word for female genitals.

[@SwiftPengu]

I like how this video shows that a lot of work goes into developing a nice strumming pattern. I like how you spend a lot of attention to all the details!

[@declarativeninja-adamwhite8382]

this really reminds me of the early instrumental somber riffs from October Falls, except way better. definitely atmospheric and amazing.

[@kurtti1043]

This song certainly has the voice of the soul vibe an my opinion.

[@kidvalkirye]

This is the most beautiful song EVER, thank you so much for bringing it into life, and the acoustic version is absolutely breathetaking, love it so much!

[@TheFuriator]

Sounds absolutely stunning!

Now i can play this.. Finally

[@rikulievemaa360]

Some1 please get tabbin! Beautiful tune

[@_69pegasus69_]

love it!! cant wait to hear the full song:)

[@WesselsReaper]

I know why Jari wrote this song, and it’s beautiful. But when I first heard this I knew nothing of Wintersun or the original inspiration of this song. To me I felt with the imagery on the screen, the lyrics, the feelings…I felt as if It was the goodbye of a lost WWII soldier trying to find his was back lost in the dead cold winter, missing his family and child, almost making it back but but just barely missing it

[@FLORYNN100]

You are the best I love your songs,it's amazing Respect man!

[@okk6443]

3:45 my favorite notes/arpeggios, so dreamy and somber.. and I don't know why it seems somewhat familiar. Also I guess he used a nail clipper for a scratchier sound. edit: I realise it reminded me of the outro on Til Hel og tilbake igjen by Burzum. obviously not the same notes, but it's distantly similar in feeling.

[@ilikevideos4868]

Also kinda reminds me of bgm from The Moomins

[@sandercohen1371]

The melody that begins at 2:27 sounds so familiar to me for some reason. I know I've heard that melody played somewhere else before. Anyone else?

[@educzar]

Muuuuuuuito foda!! Parabéns!

Just epic !!

[@sammibedford986]

Good to see the mastermind at work :D I too use the "V" word a lot, seeing as no one around where I live knows what it means haha! Also me being me, tried translating what it says on that pink strip under the laptop...of course google translate doesn't really help and just confused me XD "Not the malls. On that rack. I'm not lying" lol! Good pics at the end too :D Thank you guys, can't wait!

[@SilentSin47]

The pink strip roughly says: "No stuff on top of this rack, or resting against the rack". So nothing as cool as what the all knowing("seeing") google suggested :D

[@sammibedford986]

Antti Ryhänen haha! thanks for letting me know what it actually said Antti :D My curiosity has been resolved ^^ Indeed Google translate comes out with some strange nonsense sometimes, most amusing XP

[@SilentSin47]

Happy to help Sammi, curiosity must be resolved :). Especially when the "V" word is already in your vocabulary ;)

lol, @0:44, the look of an artist who doesn't want to be distracted or disturbed! It's a real struggle.

[@michaeljensen5193]

Nice :) What is the recording software ?

[@BloopsyBloop]

I wonder if the mixing and mastering the album was done with the HD 600's or the HD 650's. I own a pair of the latter, and they've always seemed very ideal for Wintersun, and guess I now know why!

[@WintersunJari]

The Sennheiser HD 600 & 650 are very nice headphones, but not really for mixing and mastering in my opinion. - Jari

[@BloopsyBloop]

I'd agree, just seems like you guys are wearing them in all of these videos. What do you use, Jari?

[@vimtyr1181]
