This remix is doing EVERYTHING to my brain today jfc

[night-lie]

i will never recover from this show. she sang all my favorites. even roviolla and thats from her girl group days i never thought id hear it live again but i DID

[damiannasworld]

I was listening to this song today and started to think it's so BoJere coded. 🥲

When the darkness gets too dense

I’ll set myself on fire

So you’ll see me when I come to you

Even if there was half a world between us

The miles are an illusion

When only one thing is certain

There’s an unbroken thread between us

That worldly blades cannot cut

There’s an invisible power between us

So strong, it almost frightens me

I’m beside you even when I’m not

You’re safe, don’t have to stay awake alone

There’s an unbroken thread between us

That worldly blades cannot cut

Hi ! Do you have any finnish music recommandations ? Feel free with the genre I'm quite open. I love discovering music in other languages but I'm always worried the lyrics will be saying something really terrible 😆

Hi! I'm all for spreading Finnish music, so of course! Just a fair warning, this ended up quite lengthy... Sorry about that. 😅 Here's a tl;dr version just in case you don't feel like reading about all the genre gushing and lyrical details, I couldn't help myself haha:

Pop, schlager and rock songs:

Ram Pam Pam by BESS

Tinakenkätyttö, Kaunis rietas onnellinen, and Supernaiset by Kaija Koo

Lähtisitkö by Pave Maijanen

Hei Rakas by BEHM

Soutaa Huopaa and Saatilla by Elokuu

Henkilökohtaisesti by PMMP, as well as their albums Leskiäidin Tyttäret and Kovemmat Kädet (content warning on these, if you end up reading translations of the lyrics, some of the songs on these albums deal with some heavy topics!)

Pauhaava sydän, Hetkeksi en sulle rupia, and Suudellaan by Lauri Tähkä & Elonkerjuu

Marmoritaivas by Johanna Kurkela

Suru on kunniavieras by Jenni Vartiainen (though her entire discography is phenomenal)

Che Guevara by Happoradio

Kaikki mitä mä annoin by Uniklubi

Samantekevää by Tiktak

Ikuinen Virta by Indica

Joutsenlaulu by Yö

Metal (or heavier) songs:

Hengitä by Turmion Kätilöt (content warning again, some of this band's songs have quite spicy lyrics, though I'd say a good portion of those songs are satirical. This song in particular doesn't have any questionable lyrics haha)

Laiva by Merta

Syvyydet by Vorna

Armo by Apulanta

Hope you find something you like among these!

Now for the longer answer lol:

For modern pop songs, there's no better place to start than Ram Pam Pam by BESS. The song has become a bit of a Eurovision darling despite the fact that it lost in the Finnish Eurovision national final, the UMK, and thus didn't compete in 2022. The song bears influence of Finnish pop and schlager (in Finnish this genre is called "iskelmä") artist Kaija Koo's songs, which tend to have empowering messages. If you want to listen to Kaija Koo's music, I'd recommend the songs Tinakenkätyttö, Kaunis rietas onnellinen, and Supernaiset.

A song that I have a personal soft spot for is the 80's summer banger Lähtisitkö by Pave Maijanen. It's a corny love song, but that's exactly why it's so great. 🥰 While we're on the topic love songs, there's also Hei Rakas by BEHM, which has very sweet and genuine lyrics and absolutely gorgeous instrumentals. (As a side note, this song is somewhat connected to Eurovision as well, as BEHM performed the song live during UMK 2020 as an interval act).

If you're interested in pop songs that use traditional Finnish instruments in them, I'd recommend both Soutaa Huopaa and Saatilla by the band Elokuu. These songs mix traditional Finnish instruments and the traditional Finnish dance music genre humppa (similar to waltz and foxtrot music) with Finnish schlager music and rap. In that sense, these songs are somewhat similar to Käärijä's Cha Cha Cha, as they mix schlager with rap, though the vibes are completely different. 😂 There's also Henkilökohtaisesti by PMMP, which uses a mix of traditional Finnish instruments and modern genres. As a matter of fact, I'd recommend the entirety of PMMP's album Leskiäidin Tyttäret, where Henkilökohtaisesti is included, as well as another album called Kovemmat Kädet. Though as a fair warning, many of the songs on these albums touch on very heavy topics. There's also the band Lauri Tähkä & Elonkerjuu, which blended traditional folk elements with schlager and rock. Their lyrics also utilise the Finnish Pohjanmaa dialect, adding onto the folk -feel of their music. Most of their songs are love songs, my personal favourites from their catalogue are Pauhaava sydän, Hetkeksi en sulle rupia, and Suudellaan. There's also the song Marmoritaivas by Johanna Kurkela, another very beautiful love song with some more traditional sounding elements to it. Fun fact about Johanna, she's also an ex UMK contestant who didn't make it to Eurovision! Moreover, Suru on kunniavieras by Jenni Vartiainen doesn't necessarily use any traditional instruments, but resembles old Finnish music in terms of specific vocals and some of the lyrics.

Of course I also have to bring up Finnish metal and rock music. Some of my personal favourite metal songs in Finnish are Hengitä by Turmion Kätilöt (who tend to have quite... interesting lyrics), Laiva by Merta and Syvyydet by Vorna. Hengitä and Laiva are both songs about mental illness. For less heavy music, there are the likes of Happoradio and Uniklubi, for specifically all-female acts there are Tiktak and Indica. As a starting point for these bands, I'd recommend Che Guevara by Happoradio, Kaikki mitä mä annoin by Uniklubi, Samantekevää by Tiktak (fun fact this was my absolute favourite song as a kid) and Ikuinen Virta by Indica. I feel slightly obligated to also recommend the songs Joutsenlaulu by Yö and Armo by Apulanta, as both are arguably culturally significant songs. Joutsenlaulu is a reflection on mortality and a song about loss (playing into the typical Finnish artist's obsession with death as an artistic motif), while Armo could be interpreted as a song about the Winter War (a war between the Soviet Union and Finland that took place during the World War II and has shaped Finnish culture immensely). There's also a very beautiful choir cover of the song Armo, called Konflikti (Armo). This version was featured in a movie about Apulanta. Sadly, Joutsenlaulu is not available on Spotify anymore (or any other streaming services for that matter). Funnily enough, Joutsenlaulu was originally meant to be a candidate for the Eurovision song contest of 1984, but the idea was scrapped after its composer came to the realisation that he couldn't possibly keep the length of the song under three minutes. Anyway, here's a link to the song on YouTube, just in case the links above don't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URDrfH2Rbbg&ab_channel=FinSongs

ngl, I love both Behm and Erika Vikman and Jenni Vartiainen was really good, but...

Arppa was the best performer in the linnan juhlat after party. Incredible energy especially during Juhani when the band members started going solo.

Songs: 5. and 20.

5. A song you think most of your followers won’t have heard before - I thought about this and I think I listen to a lot of the same music that my followers do so this was a bit tricky. But I went to my Spotify and then I realised. I don't always listen to Swedish rap but when I do... This slaps.

20. A song you’d put on a playlist for the person who sent you this ask - I had to think about this a little and then it hit me 🥰

Thank you for asking, lovely ❤️

Thank you @wednesdayday , @kaarijascha, @kaarija-is-best and @eurobison for tagging me in that 5 songs thing 💚 (I made it 6 though)

I haven't heard of Noen å hate, Besame mucho , The Narcissist  and A Hunger in Your Haunt before, gonna check them out later 👌🏻

***

...the urge of picking only Käärijä and Joker Out songs is so strong, but I'll resist because I think you all know that I've been listening to them like crazy anyway. All of their songs 😂 So, I'll share these instead, in no particular order:

***

... and the song below is the song I couldn't help but sing after seeing one particular super 🔥🔥 picture of Jere yesterday. Yeah it was this one (x)

The translation can be found on (x) and it's like:

"Say 'puff' and blow out 'cause I'm on fire

Melting and burning up like a candle

This soul is madly in love with you

And my body is getting hot for you

God damn, baby! Your elegance, your body... so magnificent

You can see that God took his sweet time creating you

You are burning down the universe with your body and aura"

(... I cannot believe Jere got all of us HORNY ON MAIN. This is soooo not me, but no one can blame us. He is to blame.)

***

And this one is the special song that got me into Finnish songs in, hmm, 2011 I guess. Thanks to that video:

All of her songs are amazing by the way. (The same goes for dear Ozbi and Can Bonomo as well)

I tag @eames-with-a-rose  because her song recommendations are important to me, and I tag everyone, and I mean everyone, who sees this and willing to share some of the songs they've been listening to lately. Please feel free to share more than 5 songs and talk about why you love them etc. I love discovering new songs, so you would be doing me a favour really 💜💙 Thank you already. No pressure though.
