Amorphis - My Kantele - Forging a Land of Thousand Lakes[Oulu]

[@TheAdrianna8888]

I was listening to "My Kantele" 14 years ago, hiking at the Polish mountains. Now I'm 28 and it still feels the same ~ epic!

[@Gorlung]

I was listening to Tales from the thousand lakes 25 years ago preparing for my first trip to Northern Karelia

[@tehokotkat]

May Poland prosper in a most deserved good way.

[@borisskachkov5056]

Amorphis, Anathema, Paradise Lost forever!!! The best!!!

[@psimuv]

I will definitely read the KALEVALA. Thanks AMORPHIS for waking my curiosity up.

[@bn5202]

I bought a copy awhile back.....bc of Amorphis. It's a great trip

[@akospolgar4798]

This song is one of the most successful songs from them

[@lamar125]

So, so good. These guys should be one of the biggest bands in the world.

[@henrikuivanen2302]

It's the greatest song to end a gig. Just a masterpiece. Esa. please do these more, you're a master.

[@JackWareingFilms]

Amorphis is absolutely IMHO the greatest metal band ever from Finland. My Kantele in this live version is proof. Very cool.

[@Clairevoyante]

I told myself an hour ago: ''You should go sleep, but listen to one Amorphis video before going''. Haven't been able to stop since! :)

[@neigung]

I wish more metal singer would growl like this, like a mythic beast and not just scream like pansies

[@danielbaugher826]

The way of Chi yeah he's a damn good metal singer

[@AfterDarknessiFeel]

he is using the special microfone . so everyone can growl using this piece of tecknology. If you want to see someone growiling really with his real voice then check Septic flesh....

[@ralfraths3619]

I am pretty sure the microphone has not the slightetst to do with it. :D

[@ericsartanahorner]

WOW, what a great band full of class and talent!!! Hail the mighty Amorphis!!!

[@jeanfranco9451]

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense Who say that music reckon that the kantele Was fashioned by a god Out of a great pike's shoulders From a water-dog's hooked bones: It was made from the grief Its belly out of hard days Its soundboard from endless woes Its strings gathered from torments And its pegs from other ills Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense [x2] So it will not play, will not rejoice at all Music will not play to please Give off the right sort of joy For it was fashioned from cares Moulded from sorrow.

[@Green-Lyon]

Epic. Simply epic!

[@jonihannuksela1321]

[@MaximaMiluska]

Better than the studio version!!! I love it!!!

[@agathanon]

can't describe how epic this is... just listen..

[@gst013]

It's amazing what a mellow, relaxing and beautiful song the acoustic version of My Kantele is, contrasted with the absolute chaos of the electric version. Love this song 🤘

[@henrikuivanen2302]

Just listened the whole production... all 13 albums... and of course ended it for this song. Like they want it to be.

[@Peteis4]

What an amazing song, absolutely breathtaking!

[@johnnyflipp]

GOOSEBUMPS!!!

Less than 100k views for this epic saga and millions for the new pop crap. What's this world come to, well, at least Amorphis came out of it.

AWESOME !!!!!

[@JackWareingFilms]

Tomi Joutsen wasn't the lead vocalist when 'Tales from a thousand lakes' came out. His vocals on this live version of 'My Kantele' show why he is the best (by far) front man Amorphis has ever had. Finnish metal is cool.

[@Katzekaze]

I dunno, IMHO both versions of the song are great...

[@winchesterdean5939]

you mean elegy right?

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

@@winchesterdean5939 thats where this song came from indeed, but Tomi wasnt on this album the leadsinger either. Eclipse was the first album with this singer for those who dont know.

[@MaxStone289]

The first lead singer was the guy who plays rhythm guitar (he has the white Gibson Les Paul Guitar) he did the harsh vocals for the original song as well. It took me a while to get used to Pasi's clean vocals, but Tomi does such an amazing job, I'm so glad he's in the band.

[@colachasso]

I cannot like this enough >.< It's SO FUCKING EPIC!

[@brucerouffian2630]

When I first heard this, back in 2004, I thought it was basically loud and uninteresting. Then I heard it another time and really liked the intro, then I put it on my car music and have probably listened to one version or another a thousand times. The best time ever was live at the Divan du Monde in Paris last year. Esa playing his electric sitar-type thing was just phenomenal.

[@TheBlackfall234]

+Bruce Rouffian its a masterpiece.

[@brucerouffian2630]

Amazing how this kinda music totally nails it, and I'm normally more of a cattle decap/fleshgod apocalypse/infant annihilator type of listener. Since the early days of the Karelian Isthmus this band has really evolved in so many brilliant ways. Absolutely superb stuff :)

[@joepplaysdrums]

I love this song but one thing about the lyrics intrigues me: "They (...) who say that music reckon that the kantele was fashioned by God", I don't really get what they are saying here. Is it maybe just broken English (like it should be "music reckonS"), can anyone help me out here? ;)

[@SCarpelan]

The lyrics - and the old poem they are based on - talk about the birth of kantele like it also gave birth to music itself. In this case, the subject of the verb "reckon" is "who" in the previous line. I don't know if this is bad English but it's allowed in Finnish grammar and this structure is directly translated from the original poem: Jotka soittoa sanovat, (Who say that music) Arvelevat kanteletta ([Who] Reckon that the kantele)

"Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense" is that part

[@FeedThemCake]

@@SCarpelan "[They] reckon that the Kantele was fashioned by a god..." etc. I get that. But I still don't understand the "Who say that music" part. What about music... - it feels like there's something missing there.

[@SCarpelan]

@@FeedThemCake The post is confusing since I didn't include the next line: "Was fashioned by a god." So the meaning is that the creation of the first kantele was also the creation of music. If I recall correctly in the version in Kalevala it is Väinämöinen (the main hero and the first human to be created but who is not an actual god) who does this which suggests there are several interpretations as usual in folklore.

[@FeedThemCake]

@@SCarpelan OK I think I understand, so it's saying that that both music and the Kantele were fashioned by a god. thanks for clarifying.
