Our pleasure!

An excellent album. The whole Time Package was something else. Thank you.

This song will grow on you like crazy. I was underwhelmed at first, but now I'm addicted to the way it slowly builds up to the climax portion.

[@saymyname8925]

Same here, it gets better every time you hear it, but you dont recognize it easily at first.

[@Mulukkis]

100%. Went from ok to full blown shivers every time.

[@damianhealy300]

oh brother, I got a bridge to sell ya😝

[@MikaTarkela]

Same thing here. At first it was probably my least favorite on the album and now suddenly it's my favorite and I'm crying like a baby and enjoying every moment of it! 😁

[@Superduperond]

I actually got the T-shirt with the line "And when I die I'm buried with the silver laves" back in 2013. 11 years later it finally makes sense :P

[@johnaprilia7267]

One of the best Wintersun songs!!! Deeply emotional and melodic, also Jari's voice is wonderful!!!

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

Time I starts with the same sound as Time II ends. Endless TIME loop.

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

For me it's fun how most of the people are liking the faster songs more, but for me it's One With The Shadows and Silver Leaves that are the best. I have to put One With The Shadows as the best on this album, since I've been keeping Loneliness and now Silver Leaves on their own category of epicness. The more I've listened, the more I'm liking all of the songs. The best part for everyone is that now we have more Wintersun to listen to!

[@whatrllymatters]

The melody change at the end just speaks to my soul. Gorgeous.

[@KaiAst]

That riff at 9:18 is out of this world!

[@maaaaaap]

without that riff the song would be a snoozefest. Though its still a decent song because it works as a buildup for that part, but it needs some more riffs or hooks

[@ZonZorZerx]

@@maaaaaap Get a better headset and improve your aural skills if you can. Hope you listen to decent files too, not compressed ones, because that statement is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't seem you even understand the song. If you have poor aural skills you need to re-listen a lot.

[@maaaaaap]

@@ZonZorZerx what, theres no interesting/memorable riffs or melodies aside from that one. No audio equipment will make a song more interesting if the composition is dull. Yes, theres a lot of layers and they are skillfully done. I understand the song, thats why i said that it works as a buildup for that part and its a decent song for that reason. Lets compare it to sadness and hate where every single riff and melody is memorable and the song also works as a whole

[@FinnishUncleSam]

​@@maaaaaapFunny because for me Sadness and Hate is easily the most forgettable track on the debut album. Opinions am I right?

[@axelroyer8394]

Every one has his own way to feel things :) It took few listenings to me, but now, silver leaves is my favorite on the album. At least the one who strikes the hardest, on emotional side.

[@cesar_rojasbravo]

I’m months away from finishing my PhD. It’s been a long, arduous journey, full of joy and suffering, laughter and tears. I will leave a piece of me in these silver leaves.

[@LassiHed-t6i]

This last part of vocaling is finnis language. I am pure finnis guy. But I didnt first realise, that Jari sing as finnish. Reason of that is the timing of set words. We finns, dont time words like this. But it is so great ! Joskus vielä näen sinut uudestaan... I think, that this song/ lyricks is telling forgotten love one. Anyway, this is masterpiece !!!

[@hessiankyojin]

Here it is. Wintersun's Magnum Opus. Being built up since the first album years ago.

[@jeeve12]

Honestly it's alright...I loveeee wintersun and the album but that song doesn't do it for me personally :(

[@ZonZorZerx]

@@jeeve12 Re-listen more, get a better headset and listen to the 2db files.

[@ZonZorZerx]

Their Magnum Opus is Sons, if you're thinking singular songs.

[@jeeve12]

@@ZonZorZerx I did. Just doesn't stick with me idk

[@civiumardor6344]

Probably going to be my most listened song of the year at this rate. Hits you right in the soul, such an uplifting, soaring end to this epic journey 🤘🏻

[@therationalcenter667]

It’s fascinating to me how many people say they didn’t like it at first, but after a few listens absolutely loved it. That is my experience with all Wintersun. Goes from meh to my favorite thing ever if I give it a chance.

[@Hongatar]

Totally understand what you mean - I guess it always depends on your own personal situation how a song makes you feel and how you connect to it. For me, the whole album is great, but Silver Leaves speaks to me on a personal level. I have been forced to face the fact that time is very limited and these kinds of songs are somehow very comforting to me. Also, since Finnish is my ”emotional language”, the Finnish part is just gold. Thanks for your nice reaction!

[@joemahon3284]

Absolutely stunning

[@trokoshea1]

Grandiose! It's great, it's powerful, it hurts. I cherish the moment.

[@stepanmakarov1842]

This song has its way of growing on you more and more. It started to appear in my mind more than any other song on the record. I couldn't call it my favorite from the album, but considering the fact that I can call this album my favorite Wintersun album ever it is in top 3 songs from them. Cheers guys!

[@AnssiKoskinenFI]

After listening this album about 50 times this has grown to be my favourite and i totally understand why Jari says that this is probably the best song he ever wrote. Storm however is a bit hard for me. It has nice riffs and solos, great notes and everything but it's still a bit too much. Maybe a i need 50 more listens to really start loving it.

[@Itaroxgg]

'Yeah! like he's been speaking Finnish since he was a kid' 😂

[@TotalSkillIndex]

About perkele... there is this one finnish band called Diablo that you have reacted to before. Their song "the preacher" starts with the bestest and mightiest of all shouted Perkeles! It's such a banger song, worth reacting to or just listen to it without the camera🤘

[@samikoljonen2646]

And COB starts they cover song uups i did it again whit loud PERKELE! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXjXiZ94l7yYeJY

[@GoofylookinHippy]

Sad that Wintersundays are now over. The windy/rainy/watery outtro could have been shorter. This is definitely my favorite song on Time Ii. I think I had it on infinite repeat when I first got the album!

[@jamiewalton666]

Its definately the sound of leaves blowing in the wind guys, well it is to me anyway.

[@TheRogueDM]

Yeah I really don't get why so many people think it's water. Surely the wind chimes give it away???

[@mazamp]

It's almost like there was a storm before..

[@mazamp]

Nothing he could've wrote would ever meet the expectations. This album carried such a baggage, that I'm amazed it exist in the first place. Enough time (heh) has passed and I never followed any hype pieces. That I can say in a vacuum this is great and I've grown to like it more

[@pbmdh]

Silver leaves is #1 for me right now. First listen? Wasn't even in top 20. But it grows so much.

[@omiq7761]

"I have so much in my life, but all I can think and all I can see is you". The tears and goosebumps were real when listening this song for the first time. Just shows the insane range of Jari's talent. Doing these soul-touching power-ballads to heaviest growls and guitar solos that move mountains. Funny stuff tho, listen Time I from the beginning right after Silver Leaves - see what happend? Time is eternal.

[@ErkkiBanana]

For me, the first time hearing silver leaves was also "underwhelming" and I was almost disappointed, but the more I listened to it the more it speaks to me and now it has to be one of my favourites. Being finnish and understanding the lyrics for the finnish part might play a role to that though. Loved the wintersundays from the start! Can't wait for the next wintersun album and hopefully the reincarnation of wintersundays ;)

[@slr1977]

Would this translation work? Some time, I will see you again But my time Is running out I will leave a piece of me by the silver leaves Some time, I will hear the silence Filling this emptiness Finally I will bury into the silver leaves Great song!

[@MikaTarkela]

When I gave it my first listen I didn't really feel it but after a few times of hearing the song it has became my favorite song on the album. It might take some time to grow on you :)

[@finnishculturalchannel]

It's definitely heavy black rain. On the playlist following Ryuichi Sakamoto's theme from 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence' and Hans Zimmer's song 'The Final Confrontation' from 'Black Rain'. Antonio's version of 'Lai Lai Hei' goes somewhere between Nils-Aslak Valkeapää's yoik 'Beaivi, Áhčážanand' and Auringon Hauta's song 'Veden loihtu', which is a water spell. Finnish and Japanese do have similarities-it's no secret. For pastime you can come up Finnish sentences like "Hajosiko Tojotasi? Mokomaki Hikimaja" ("Did your Toyota break down? That darn sweat lodge!"), which sound Japanese and in Japan they can make fun of Finnish surnames. Videos: "Semmarit - Bonsai" and "Japanese person makes fun of Finnish surnames".

[@JohnDoe-rj8nd]

I love this song. It perfectly serves to cap off the TIME experience, by which I mean not only the album, but also the waiting half of our lives for the resolution. I get where you're coming from though, it's the most "progressive" (progressive in the sense that it goes beyond that which the band has typically done) Wintersun song in my opinion. The song makes little sense as a single, but in the context of the whole album it fulfills it's role as a closer.

[@MrMauriv]

Best song on time 2 imo :)

[@remibrulhart6070]

I dont think he singe in finish to sound japanese man. He just does it because he’s a legend

[@huadung1516]

No more sad face Pedro, here can be a brand new Winter-sunday for you guys. Let check out IMMORTAL SOULS - a Wintermetal band from Finland (aka Christian MeloDeath Metal band). Although they released 2 MV Nuclear Winter and Calm Before The Snowstorm, I strongly recommend you to take these masterpieces from their second full-length first : Immortal Souls - Everwinter kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3-ulnmCbZuUlbMfeature=shared Immortal Souls - Sacrifice kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2LFXol6mM91fM0feature=shared Immortal Souls - Man of Sorrow kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoTEq5evl7GneNEfeature=shared Immortal Souls - Welcome to North kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpeylX53l7ypmaMfeature=shared

[@Dipper737]

I thought it was ok at first listen, but now my eyes get misty when i listen to it. Now its top 3 easy.

[@sirianrune198]

Antonio had almost the same idea I had, except I think the song should be in the end credits instead of the trailer. Great minds...

The drum snare is again sounding like flipping cards.

[@moocorp4574]

One with the Shadows and Silver Leaves are my favorites from Time II. I don't like the constant blastbeats from the others.

[@tomjut9761]

Such a great song and album but the production fails the material for me. The drums sound artificial, so unnecessay with the worldsbest drummer performing. Even the alternative versions from the package, while better, could have been so much more. Still - great song!

[@BlazeMusic-hj6mn]

that outro is way too long. I can kinda get it if I'm just listening to the album, but it's annoying in a playlist or in a car. But other than that 11/10 song

[@ZonZorZerx]

You don't understand the outro, there's a good meaning to it. If you think it's annoying in your car just switch to the next song.

[@BlazeMusic-hj6mn]

@@ZonZorZerx I get there's a meaning but 2 and a half straight minutes of noise is overkill. 30sec would've been more than enough to get the message across

Wintersun fans be like the Little League mom of a 10 year old. Their boy makes contact with the ball and hits a routine fly ball to the outfield and mom is like "OMG that hit was AMAZING Johnny". Everyone gets a trophy in today's world right? 😆 This was a nice little 3-4 minute song of average Jari capabilities stretched out way too thin and all the fanboys are claiming it to be so amazing. He carries the same melody way too long and adds effects that are also way too long. The greatest trick that Jari ever pulled was taking the contents of a 17 minute EP and stretch it to fool all his fanboys into it being a full length sequel. Great job Jari, you pulled it off perfectly!
