It’s one of my favorite songs lately.

Song data: Paula Vesala / Miks pitää itkeä / From Finland 🇫🇮🎵🎶

That is a little sorrowful feeling though I also feel pops and pretty taste.

Paula Vesala oli niin oikees ku se kysy ”Tiiäks mitä äitis teki ku se teki sua?”

Turha sitä tulla pätee, sun mutsis oli ku sua teki, yms.

Got inspired by it so much I decided it NEEDS to be visualised! !!

With a historical touch of course bc I LITERALLY SEE my high school OCs from post-WW1 Russia doing that🥰

It's November 1918 and Vasily Ginsburg is up celebrating the Bolshevik party seizing power over the country - by having a little dance with his cute counter-revolutionary prisoner. My man's having his time.

Art tag: @painful-pooch (dm if wanna join!)

Whumper dancing with a defiant Whumpee who keeps trying to get away but every time they do Whumper pulls them back into another sweep. Meanwhile they're singing and getting too close and personal with Whumpee who just feels like a puppet on strings as they grow more embarrassed and hopeless-

The Big Finnish Music Project for International Kääryleet, part 4.

Go to part 1 for all the context. We pick up where we left off in part 3, as the list is (more or less) in chronological order.

2000's here we come.

Anssi Kela

Within Finland, in the domestic market, one of the most successful artists of all time. His debut album was the most sold music album of the 2000's, only dethroned in 2012. A singer/songwriter popular among people of all ages, all over the country. Less of a massive star today, but still a well respected artist. Käärijä references and quotes his song 1972 in Menestynyt yksilö, but I wanted to link possibly his biggest hit, Puistossa, from 2001. A massive, massive hit and most people who were alive in 2001 can still sing this chorus, if nothing else.

Lordi

You might have seen Mr. Lordi in the DNA Christmas Kääryle ads last year, and if you're european and were alive in 2006, you probably know Lordi. But they became popular in Finland a few years prior to their Eurovision victory, with this song, Would You Love a Monsterman.

Pikku G

Okay but why did Nace mention Pikku G as a favourite finnish artist in their discord album party. Pikku G was a massively popular teen rapper in the early 2000's and made some sort of a comeback in 2017, i think. This song, Me ollaan nuoriso, was impossible to escape in 2003. He was 15 at the time.

PMMP

Iconic pop-rock duo, who made a comeback tour this year. This was their first single, Rusketusraidat, in 2003. It was a bit of a shock to a lot of people, two girls being so unruly and wild, and as such of course Paula and Mira of PMMP were quite the idols to especially a lot of young girls. They went on to have a really strong, popular and critically acclaimed career, and have since also done solo work. Paula Vesala in particular has been very successful solo as well.

Zen Café

Listen, Jere is a millennial. Which means chances are, he was traumatised by this video just like the rest of us, at the tender age of 10. Zen Café were a very significant band in the Finnish rock scene in the 2000's. They broke up in 2007. This song, Piha ilman sadettajaa, is from 2003, when they were at the height of their career.

METAL CORNER

I meantioned Lordi earlier as well, but Lordi could also count as hard rock, rather than metal. The early 2000's were a massively important time for Finnish metal, and it was when metal became almost mainstream in Finland. In the early 2000's, metal was everywhere, and as metal is very clearly an important influence in Käärijä's music, let's take a look at the metal scene in Finland back then. Again, not a complete list, but the two most internationally massive bands out of Finland, and the holy trinity of metal in the Finnish language.

--

Nightwish

Hands down the most internationally successful Finnish band of all time, Nightwish has sold well over 10 million albums globally. The linked song was their global breakthrough Nemo, in 2004. Nemo features their first singer, Tarja Turunen, who was very publicly fired in 2005 in a feud that resulted in a media scandal unlike anything before or since in the world of Finnish music. I'm not kidding, the literal prime minister was asked to comment on the situation. Still active, Nightwish is still to this day one of the biggest names in Finnish music and their influence in the world of symphonic metal globally is undeniable. They hold the record for most Emma Awards (Finnish Grammy) with 16 awards.

Children of Bodom

A metal band that is hard to pin down to a single genre, but melodic death metal gets mentioned the most. Named after a lake known by all Finnish people as the scene of a still unsolved triple murder, Children of Bodom is one of the most internationally successful Finnish bands of all time. The frontman Alexi Laiho, was voted to be the best metal guitarist in the world multiple times in international metal media. Alexi Laiho passed away in 2020. This song is one of their bigger hits, In Your Face.

Kotiteollisuus

They are like the suomirock band of the metal scene. They started in the 90’s, but had their breakthrough with their 2003 album Helvetistä itään. The linked song is Minä olen, the biggest hit off that album, and probably their biggest hit ever. If you watch the video, notice the logo in the upper right corner? Yeah, that’s the logo of a tv channel, because this was back in the day when they actually showed music videos on television, and in Finland that meant a lot of metal videos too.

Mokoma

Mokoma rose to fame in the early 2003 and they also started their own record company Sakara Records then. Sakara has become a significant company in the metal scene in Finland, so Mokoma and its members are quite influential and important players in the field. Mokoma itself is known for having quite a raw sound with very poetic and beautiful lyrics. I’m linking their song Takatalvi from 2003, mostly because the comment section is a hilarious living shared journal of Finnish people recordning the takatalvi phenomenon through the years (takatalvi = lit. “back winter”, meaning when winter conditions suddenly return in the middle of spring and everyone wants to collectively find a way to actually murder snow somehow)

Stam1na

There’s a photo of them with Käärijä crew somewhere, and if i remember correctly, Jukka likes them a lot. One of the Sakara Record bands, Stam1na (pronounced stamina) also rose to fame in the early 2000’s, and have become one of the most critically acclaimed metal bands in Finland. Their style is quite experimental yet distinctive, with quite clever and sort of intellectual lyrics. 

Now, the link is to their video for Likainen parketti but WARNING this video has graphic violence and blood. The reason why i’m linking this video from them is to further highlight what the music scene was like in the early 2000’s. You can see the graphics of the tv show Musiikki-TV in the linked video, which was a music show that ran on Yle TV2 from 2006 to 2009. They showed music videos on television, on the national broadcasting company’s channel, five days a week, and this sort of video was actually shown. So this is the sort of thing a 13 year old Jere might have come across on television in 2006.

Again, the video is graphic (four men get beaten up badly, one graphic shot of a bad wound, lots of blood), proceed only if you are okay with that.

End of part 4. Next part is back into the world of poprock and the rise of rap and humour music in the 2000's.

siis okei, mä kasvoin samassa kylässä missä yks Suomen suurimmista hiihtokeskuksista sattuu olemaan nii on tullu aika paljo kuulusia tyyppejä vastaan tai kaverit on nähy julkkiksia kaupassa tai rinteellä, mut yks tarina minkä äiti mulle kerto on kyl absoluuttisen paras:

Se oli joskus 2007 yhen nimeltä-mainitsemattoman hotellin respassa töissä, jossa on jo kauan tarjottu semmosta suolahuone juttua. Noh, yhtenä kauniina päivänä kaks tyyppiä tuli varaamaan suolahuonetta, ja sit ku äiti kysy niien nimiä sitä varausta varten, nii ne aika ärtyneenä vähä pettyneen kuulosena sano Paula Vesala ja Mira Luoti. Sit joo ne käy siellä suolahuoneessa ja tälleen, mut sit ku äiti lähtee sanoon niille että se aika on loppu ja et niien pitää lähtee, nii se huomaa et ne oli jättäny sen suolahuoneen oven raolleen. Äiti sit koputtaa ja avaa sen oven, ja sitä tuijottaa absoluuttisen kauhistuneet Paula ja Mira jotka oli just tekemässä sen suolahuoneen suolasta palloja ja heittelemässä niitä toisiiaan päin. Ne sit kävelee sieltä pois kauheen nolostuneina

Suomi on niin pikkuinen maa että moni on varmasti törmännyt julkkikseen mut antakaas kun kerron teille tarinan.

Olipa kerran Minä joka oli aikoinaan töissä Helsinki-Vantaalla. Siellä pystyi ennen kuuluttamaan viimeisiä matkustajia niin että koko kenttä raikuu. Noh. Minä siellä sitten kerran olin jollain random portilla ja ärsytti ihan helkkaristi kun enää pari puuttui ja portti oli menossa kiinni. Otan mikrofonin kauniiseen käteen, painan ‘all airport’ ja kailotan: “Huomio, matkustajat Jare Tiihonen sekä XXX, olkaa hyvä ja kiiruhtakaa portille 20a, porttinne sulkeutuu kahden minuutin kuluttua”

No hetkisen päästä se Tiihosen Jare sieltä ilmestyy perässään aikamoinen lauma ihmisiä jotka ei kyllä sinne mun lennolle ollu tulossa ja voitte vaan kuvitella kuinka monta kertaa sain kuulla ‘siitä kerrasta kun sä käytännössä käskit Cheekiä hilaamaan perseensä sun portille ja vähän äkkiä niin että koko Heva kuuli’.

En kuuntele räppiä.
