Wintersun - Silver Leaves | Orchestrations & Vocals

[@Lauren-se5bu]

If they don't bury me in silver leaves I ain't dying

[@teganufer]

Silver Leaves has to be one of the best songs created on Earth in my opinion. So powerful, deep, magical, emotional, awe-inspiring.

[@MusashiSun]

The song is beautiful, but you are even more beautiful😀

[@cesar_rojasbravo]

The verse in Finnish makes me shiver, dream, contemplate my life every time. My goal is to learn how to say/sing it with perfect pronunciation ❤

[@MikaLiljeqvist]

Vocals in the second round (8:33) with the canon-style are mindblowing! You need to listen just the vocal track to hear them properly, so many layers!

[@cruciferum]

Quick question: Is "canon style" a term for the choir arrangements or something? I don't know much music theory, so I'd like to know more about it. Thanks!

[@MikaLiljeqvist]

@@cruciferum canon style singing for example is where one person starts to sing something, then second person starts to sing same thing but one bar behind, then third guy again one bar behind and so on. Or same stuff but with different rhythm/articulation. You can hear same kind of stuff in Sons of Winter Stars. Chekout wikipedia article: Canon (music), for better info

[@cruciferum]

@@MikaLiljeqvist wow, I just called that "manual delay" 🤣 Now I can search for more examples of this! Thanks a lot! And here, the backing vocals here singing each line before the lead voice, right?

[@MikaLiljeqvist]

@@cruciferum correct, or that's what i call canon style at least 😅 backing vocals singing harmonies and in different rhythm, but exactly the same lyrics

[@Hrui3859]

Is this the secret way to listen to this song?! This is absolutely stunning 🤯

[@MusashiSun]

Kuunneltuani kappaleen ensimmäistä kertaa, minun on myönnettävä, että se ei tehnyt minuun vaikutusta. Seuraavan jälkeen aloin pitää siitä. Seuraavan kappaleen jälkeen rakastuin tähän kappaleeseen. Jari, olet mahtava! Suomen kieli on kaunista ja harmi, että sitä on niin vähän lauluissa. Terveisin.

[@Patralgan]

Somehow this is closer to what I imagined it to be. Thank you!

[@ShiroiTengu]

Me too actually! I was so disappointed to the album version but I love this

[@WintersunExtras]

I know what you mean, I wasn't expecting rhythm guitars and drums in this song, but I appreciate both versions.

[@chaoskin5551]

I agree, I'd have even been okay with the rhythm guitar and drums kicking in at 4:10 and letting just the orchestrations and vocals be heard before that. Would have made for a good build up. Or even another point a bit later in the song.

[@hessiankyojin]

This song is absolutely beautiful.

[@b0570nk4]

the full version is so epic, but this is too!

[@Isndar]

So Beautifully well made, I'm so speechless with Silver Leaves.

[@guillaumethomasdoerig]

I love this arrangement!

[@MiikaKontio]

thank you! beautiful

[@geniallyrealmajaw378]

Truly beautiful 🤍✨🤌

[@senna127]

Thanks ❤

[@thegoblonoid]

I was also thinking vocals and orchestration for this song and damn it works so well!

[@desertrosepetal]

My heart breaks hearing this song. Someone dear to my past sent the whole album to me and he said he cried so hard and this song especially got to him. It’s been a long time since we were once together and I felt like the bandage was ripped off once again after so many years without each other. Words left unsaid were told to me through these words sung. 😔

[@QuiveringPotato]

Love this. Can you upload Storm with guitars only pretty please?

[@Zyborggian]

Am I a crackhead or are legit chunks of this song subtle recapitulations of motivic material from When Time Fades Away or possibly even the outro to Time title track in a place or two

[@WintersunExtras]

It's also possible that this song features various melodic references to other tracks on the album, AND you're a crackhead too.

[@00SuperHAN00]

I thought of that too. Similar progression with When time fades away, the difference is as oppose to When time fades away has vibe that epic journey is dawning, Silver leaves is closing the chapter.

[@Zyborggian]

@@WintersunExtras FUCKER lmaooooooooooooooo that made me laugh hahaha bless up

[@Zyborggian]

@@00SuperHAN00 Im pretty sure Im hearing a melody fragment or more from WTFA that's kept partially the same but the rest is a development of the original melody

[@steverambo1822]

Ensiferum on their 3rd album did the right thing, the intro includes melodies from half of the tracks

[@BobbyHop-fp4vg]

Beautiful. And first

[@ilikevideos4868]

The best part (can't you see that I'm trying) sounds worse without the metal instruments

[@natas6307]

This might be there best song
