Music in Finnish 2/∞: Sini Yasemin – Epävakaa ("Unstable," 2019)

Ostin Ikeasta uuden maton Ja vaan siks et mä voisin majottaa nää kaikki möröt sen alle Kirjoitin sust iloisia lauluja Ja lauloin niitä ihmisille vaik se tuntu vitun pahalle I bought a new rug from Ikea Just so I could house all these bugbears under it I wrote happy songs about you And sang them to people even though it felt fucking sick

The absolute rabbit hole I fell into again, all thanks to jodel! But our dear vintage Kä took part in Pidä huolta (Take care) campaign back in 2021! (+ many other artists and blorbos you might recognize)

The Pidä huolta campaign is a charitable initiative by Toivon Kärki ry and MIELI ry, through which funds have been raised to support and assist young people after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the participation of over 70 Finnish artists. At the heart of the campaign is a new version of the late Pave Maijanen’s iconic song Pidä huolta. The campaign has been made possible with the support of S-Group and LähiTapiola.

MIELI ry/MIELI, the Finnish Association for Mental Health, works to promote mental well-being and prevent mental health issues. MIELI ry advocates for equal rights to good mental health for all. The organization coordinates the national network of crisis centers and promotes mental well-being for children, youth, working-age adults and the elderly. (source)

“The idea for a reimagined version of Pidä huolta came from the charity organization Pietarinkadun Oilers, while Pave was still with us. Although he has since passed away, he was able to give his blessing to the concept of updating the song with new artists for charity purposes. A huge thank you goes to Pave’s son, Vihtori Maijanen, for helping bring this project to completion,” says Jukka Immonen, one of the founders of Toivon Kärki and producers of the song. (source)

hey, do you have any recommendations of queer/queer-adjacent finnish music? if not, it's okay, no pressure

Hey anon, sorry for the late reply! 💕

Let me preface this by saying that since the Finnish language doesn’t have gendered personal pronouns, a lot of songs are open for interpretation when it comes to gender and sexuality! So, I opted to go for some songs that are very clearly queer coded, and also to give you a few examples Finnish artists who are part of the LGBTQ community!

Again, for any finns who may be reading this, please feel free to add onto the list!

Here’s the tldr version with links to the songs:

Ihmisten edessä by Jenni Vartiainen (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link)

(Mentioned in relation: Jenny by Studio Killers) (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link)

Hoida Mut by Benjamin (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link)

Kuuma jäbä by Isaac Sene (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link)

Cicciolina (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) and Syntisten pöytä (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) by Erika Vikman

Tähdet, taivas ja sä by Saara Aalto (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link)

(Mentioned in relation: Monsters by Saara Aalto) (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link)

2080-luvulla, (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) Hei kevät (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) and Pornoo (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) by SANNI (though her discography in general is pretty great. Especially her album Sotke Mut has many good songs imo.)

Sydämeni osuman sai (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) by Siiri Nordin (out of her albums I personally enjoy Lyö tahtia the most.)

(Sydämeni osuman sai is a cover of the song Something’s Gotten Hold of my Heart written by Roger Greenway and Roger Cook.)

Rakkautta ja Piikkilankaa (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) by Sini Yasemin

(Cover of the song Rakkauta ja Piikkilankaa by Uniklubi) (YouTube Link) (Spotify Link) (Fun fact I absolutely adored this song as a kid lol)

First off, I think it’s essential to start with the Finnish lesbian anthem: ”Ihmisten edessä” by Jenni Vartiainen. This song is really important for many people my age, as it was pretty much ”Baby’s first exposure to non-het relationships” to a lot of people. The song is an absolute banger, and, fun fact, was written and composed by Teemu Brunila, who is believed to be the voice behind Studio Killers’ singer Cherry. Thus it’s likely that he may even have been involved in the creation of Jenny, which is another lesbian anthem.

Then we have our UMK contestants who didn’t quite make it to the Eurovision like Benjamin who competed with the song ”Hoida Mut” in 2023, Isaac Sene who competed with the song ”Kuuma jäbä” in 2022, and Erika Vikman, who competed in 2020 with the song ”Cicciolina”. Out of these three, Hoida Mut and Kuuma jäbä make it obvious that they’re about gay relationships, while Cicciolina is open for interpretation (which may be because Erika is bisexual). Of course, there is also Saara Aalto, who competed in the Eurovision song contest in 2018 with ”Monsters”.  Out of her songs that are in Finnish, I personally like the song ”Tähdet, taivas ja sä” the most.

One of my favourite Finnish LGBTQ artists is SANNI. Some of my favourite songs by her are 2080-luvulla, Hei kevät, and Pornoo.

The singer Siiri Nordin is also LGBTQ. Her cover of the song "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart”, called ”Sydämeni osuman sai” is very lovely.

I can’t say I’m super familiar with the career of Sini Yasemin, however she is an emerging LGBTQ artist whose work is also worth looking into! Her cover of Rakkautta ja piikkilankaa (originally performed by the rock group Uniklubi) is probably a safe place to start if you want to get a grasp of her sound.

Again, for anyone who can come up with more songs/artists, feel free to add onto this!

Sini Yasemin – Mun kaa (2019)

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa Haluun sulle tän varotuskolmion omistaa Jos sä pyörit mun kaa samaan suuntaan Täytyy sullakin päässä viiraa

Sini Yasemin – Mun kaa Sini Yasemin – With Me

Luurangot viikattuna kaapissa ja kasa kummallisia taipumuksia. Skeletons neatly folded in the closet and heaps of weird tendencies.

Kiipeilen katoilla neljältä aamulla humalassa, vaan koska tiiän et voin pudota. I climb on the roofs at 4 AM, drunk, just because I know I might fall.

En mä tarkota leikkii coolia, tyhmänrohkeudellani kehuskella. I don’t mean to act cool, to show off with my foolhardiness.

Jos kävelen päin punasia, se johtuu siitä, että oon värisokea. If I cross on a red light, it’s because I’m colour-blind.

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa*, haluun sulle tän varotuskolmion omistaa. If you hang with me, I want to dedicate this warning triangle to you. * Pyöriä [jonkun] kanssa = to hang with [somebody], to spend time with somebody on a regular basis (lit. “to spin with [somebody], to go in circles with [somebody]”)

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa samaan suuntaan, täytyy sullakin päässä viiraa If you run in the same circles as I do, you must have something wrong in the head, too. (lit. “If you spin in the same direction as I do...”)

Ystävystyn outojen ihmisten kanssa, hiukset sekasin, käsi kädessä kulunutta mustetta. I make friends with weirdos; messy hair, hand in hand with ink-stains.

Välil kovisroolis loukussa, mut saatan itkeä salaa Hachiko-leffan lopussa Sometimes I’m trapped by the tough guy act, but I might secretly cry at the end of Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). If you hang with me (with me, with me).

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). If you hang with me (with me, with me).

Voit koittaa mut korjata, mut varaosat loppuu Biltemasta aina talvella. You can try to fix me, but every winter they’re out of spare parts at Biltema*. * Biltema = a Swedish chain of retail stores, where they sell tools, building materials, and car supplies, among other things.

Nää tummat silmät vilkkuu suuntiin vaarallisiin. Geeneille terkkuja Turkkiin. These dark eyes twinkle in dangerous directions. Greetings to my genes in Turkey.

Arki häkissä käy nopeesti ahdistaa, niinku Korkeasaaren jokasta leijonaa. Day after day in a cage quickly becomes distressing, like for every lion in Korkeasaari*. * Korkeasaari is an island in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The largest zoo in Finland is located there.

Jos eksyn kotimatkalla, se johtuu siit, et mul ei oo suuntavaistoa. If I get lost on my way home, it’s because I have no sense of direction.

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa, haluun sulle tän varotuskolmion omistaa. If you hang with me, I want to dedicate this warning triangle to you.

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa samaan suuntaan, täytyy sullakin päässä viiraa If you run in the same circles as I do, you must have something wrong in the head, too.

Ystävystyn outojen ihmisten kanssa, hiukset sekasin, käsi kädessä kulunutta mustetta. I make friends with weirdos; messy hair, hand in hand with ink-stains.

Välil kovisroolis loukussa, mut saatan itkeä salaa Hachiko-leffan lopussa Sometimes I’m trapped by the tough guy act, but I might secretly cry at the end of Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). If you hang with me (with me, with me).

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). If you hang with me (with me, with me).

Pyöritkö mun kaa? Pyöri mun kaa samaan suuntaan. Do you hang with me? Hang in the same direction as I do.

Ystävystyn outojen ihmisten kanssa, hiukset sekasin, käsi kädessä kulunutta mustetta. I make friends with weirdos; messy hair, hand in hand with ink-stains.

Välil kovisroolis loukussa, mut saatan itkeä salaa Hachiko-leffan lopussa Sometimes I’m trapped by the tough guy act, but I might secretly cry at the end of Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa, saatan susta noloja rakkauslauluja kirjottaa. If you hang with me, I might write cringy love songs about you

Katotko mua vielä samalla tavalla silloinkin, kun tää biisi riehuu radioaalloilla? Will you still look at me in the same way even when this song takes the radio waves by a storm?

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). If you hang with me (with me, with me).

Jos sä pyörit mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). If you hang with me (with me, with me).

Pyöritkö mun kaa? (Mun kaa, mun kaa, mun kaa, mun kaa). Do you hang with me? (With me, with me, with me, with me).

Pyöritkö mun kaa? Pyöri mun kaa (mun kaa, mun kaa). Do you hang with me? Hang with me (with me, with me).

Meet miten kauas vaan

sama tuuli puhaltaa

hellästi sua niin koskettaa

Kun meet nukkumaan

ikkunas avaa

Kuvittele et sun pintaa

paijaan, paijaan

A finnish singer/songwriter Sini Yasemin had lovely instagram live consert today and I desided to sketch her during the live and finished the piece after.

So. I didn’t like this song at all at first. Something happened and now I kinda love it. A lot.

[inhalingwords]

my favourite sapphic songs/mvs || sini yasemin – kavereita (friends)

kun on yö / silloin me ollaan lähellä / selvinpäin / jätetään vähän enemmän turvaväliä / meis on jotain samaa melankoliaa / puolet siitä täyttä aurinkoterapiaa / uskalletaan ennen baarin pilkkua / aamulla ollaan taas kavereita

(when it’s night / then we’re close / sober / we keep a little more safe distance / in us, there’s some similar melancholy / half of it pure sunlight therapy / we dare before last call at a bar / in the morning, we’re friends again)

Gayest meme(s) you have

Not a football one (although kinda still related as she's a players girlfriend) but it doesnt get more obviously gay than this

Other than that, and I know I've already used it, but it doesnt get much gayer than this
