fun fact: the "female" vocals before the 2nd chorus and in the background of other parts are actually also the lead singer, they didn't get any other singers for the song

I'm extremely glad you enjoyed it as much as I did and that you put this much thought and work into it! I highly, highly appreciate it! :) It's definitely one of Wintersun's most melodic and slower songs. Pure raw power, and emotion. You can really see Jari's (the vocalist) vocal range in this song. What I would suggest for the next song, if you want to continue listening to Wintersun of course, would be "Time" the studio version as I said in the previous comment, and/or "Sons of Winter and Stars" the live rehearsal version to see these guys at their best! They are actually coming to Los Angeles, CA a week from today! I believe they haven't been here since 6 or 8 years so it's going to be very special! Thanks again and keep rocking brother!

Please do more Wintersun songs!

The song is about his father that died (RIP)

Check out Time by Wintersun, would be right up your alley. Preferably the remastered live rehearsal version from WintersunJari KZfaq channel who is the founder of the band.

Awesome reaction, man! This song is one on the slower side when it comes to Wintersun (definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever). For something more grandiose and epic check out Sons of Winter and Stars (live rehearsal, remastered) - that's the one usually everyone starts with. :) But honestly they don't have a single bad song.

This song and other song in the same album (Eternal Darkness) have heavy influence of Jari's fathers death. So i think this song is more about end of the road literally in this trail of life. Like song says one day your trail disappear as the snow falls like time and maybe you are finally home then and no more sorrows.

The lead singer did this entire record himself. A guitar wizard in his own right, in a live setting (I saw them live on monday) he focuses on the vocals and the rest of the band handles the other instruments. But its an amazing achievement that Jari was able to do this entire album by himself.

If you wanna hear the polar opposite to this song check out "Eternal Darkness (Autumn)" from the same album. That's where they're going full black Metal

Very nice reaction! You actually react and reflect on it, very enjoyable to watch. I would probably suggest their first album if you want the "true" Wintersun experience, since this one is probably one of the slower and "less typical wintersuny" songs. Try these songs: Starchild, Death and the Healing, Winter Madness. Basically the whole first album. The good thing tho is that all their albums (only 3 so far) sound very different from eachother. First one is very guitar focus, lots of incredible melodies and solos, and is their absolute best imo. Second is orchestration porn, fantasticly epic, but too short (its sadly a part 1 of a full album), the forest seasons is probably the most mood focused, not super intricate as the last two, but enjoyable nonetheless. :)

hey man i would like to thank you for making those reaction videos and sharing them with us, of all the songs reaction videos i saw on the internet i think you do the best, with very accurate comments even for a complex band like Wintersun which usually takes much more than 1 listen for people to understand the complexity of the music. I am really glad you loved it and actually happy for you for knowing this band, their work is just a treasure for me and i am just gonna say it, since their last album TIme I, their productions are just revolutionary in the music world, not only in metal genre, but in music industry as a whole.

Wintersun reaction, always must to see. Next suggestion Amorphis, The Bee...

Those weird noises come from Kantele. A finnish intrument (also slavic)

25:30 You are absolutely right. Metal fits so much genres, like nothing else.

Land of snow and sorrow, Death and the healing, are beatiful songs like this. Time and Sons of Winter and Stars are epic songs, the best of the best Battle against time, Winter madness (this has one of the best solos in the music, seriously) power metal Beyond the dark sun, trash metal Sleeping stars, Sadness and hate, death Eternal darkness, black AF Just a llitle guide, not exactly, all the songs are a mix, Wintersun can make one song with all the genres inside of it.

25:33 you called it my friend. Great reaction!!!

Believe me man you are going to get a lot of views from this song! Great reaction

One of their slowest, but still a great song. I'd suggest sons of winter and stars, time, battle against time as heavier and faster songs of theirs to listen to. All are amazing. Just listen to their live rehearsal stuff at sonic pump studios. Incredible.

thanx junioo react this beautiful and sad song,maybe best song this world. i heard many people get power this song when somebody very close people are die and people use this song also funeral song. ok have great day there.

Awesome reaction man! Cool to see people trying to figure out the meaning of the lyrics of this bands songs. Another similar band Atavistia - Seas Of Stars would be a great song to react to!

Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Sun, man, rly, just listen and look this! It's sooo Epic! And, yes, good reaction!

Wintersun is paramount

" There is just nothing that metal cant do " FACTS right there bro! great reaction. such a powerful song/album!

Loved the song and your comments for it. I can see that you are honest to all of the reactions. But have you reacted to the Wintersuns Time yet? I think you would love that. It`s kind of melancholic, but that`s what Finns like.. Finnland is like the metal mecca ;)

I see Wintersun, I subscribed 👍

I saw somewhere where someone speculated that this song could be about losing his father. Listening to it from that aspect definitely fits and brings life to it. If you want some heavily black metal influenced Wintersun you should check out the track before this one Eternal Darkness (Autumn). It reminds me a lot of Emperor, especially in the beginning. It also showcases the singer's amazing shredding talent as it has the album's only technical solo. You can't go wrong with Wintersun, glad you deviated because I might have never found this channel!

This is my favorite reaction to this song

good job and welcome to the wintersun crowd.

Great analysis of the music and lyrics. I enjoyed watching. You should try Porcupine tree or Opeth.

You probably already know this it being this video is 3 years old but Jari wrote this after his father died.

I only just ran into this video. Good review and a great song too! The really deep and raw growls in the "follow the coast" and "swallow the ghost" are actually sang by the bassplayer, Jukka.

...their other good ones are "Sons of Winter and Stars" live studio version, "Forest That Weeps", "Time"... for other similar metal bands from Finland check Amorphis "The Bee" and Wolfheart "The Flood"... For classics, Nightwish "Ghost love Score" - Wacken 2013 is perhaps one of the best interpretations of that song. Have fun 🤗

Quality content!!

Next song by Wintersun: Sons of Winter and Stars. Be sure to use this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itJlh5CY0brIiKs.html BTW, this album, The Forest Seasons was relatively straighforward for him to produce. It's the other project that is taking forever and you can see why if you react to the video I linked here. It's way way out there in complexity and intricacy. I loved your reaction and analysis :)

Children of bodom : In your face

This song was written about the death of his Father.

You should check first albums from Ensiferum, Jari from Wintersun is singing there too and was one of its founders... Its More of Folk metal than this and full of epicness.

Never heard of Wintersun? Reacting to loneliness! instant subscribe🤗

let the band play; don` not talk all the time

Great reaction dude! If you're loving Black Metal rn, check out 'Eternal Darkness' by Wintersun! It's on the same album as Loneliness, but it's a black metal song 🤘 you will dig it!

Wintetsun are great 🇫🇮🙏 yari 's voice is awesome...i call this song ... metal meditation 🤘!!!! Close your eyes and enjoy that master piece ❤️

"Author & Punisher" - Disparate One man industrial doom metal, mechanical engineer major who designs and makes his own unique instruments. A live video is also recommended, insaaaaaane live performance 😵

Hey dude, very enjoyable reaction! Instant sub lol! Keep it up. Would love to see you check out Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios. It's mind-blowing. Or the song "Time" from the same live rehearsal! :) Peace!

for me you need to listen the entire song first and then give the critic

Hi. We are a unique and underground progressive melodic death metal band from Finland (Wintersun is a Finnish band also). I’m just asking are you willing to do a reaction -, review - etc. of our stuff, please? We launched our Future Diary debut album recently. Let me hear your thoughts? 🔥

"I WANT WHAT I WHAT" HAHAHAHA

King Diamond At The Graves

Time II D-43 😎

The only thing I got to criticize about this song: the strong vocals distract from the lyrics and I can't really get into it. Time to relisten...
