This song has by far one of the most melodic, iconic, sad riffs, ever. The story of the lyrics seems to be matching. Awesome stuff!

Musik wie Insomium ist wie Therapie für mich, es ist nicht umsonst, dass wir sagen, Metall rettet Leben!

Thankyou so much for this beautiful little glimpse into your home town and the feelings behind this gorgeous haunting song, dear Niilo ❤

I didnt know about Niilo, I know the Insomnium guys are fans of Sentenced and Miika Tenkula, as soon as I heard the song I knew those riffs were inspired from his music.

Its so good to hear and see his influence even after so long.

Niilo should get a historic property designation as a world heritage person. The music in this album are fantastic as always, but the lyrics...something out of this world.

One could probably listen to stories like this for hours on end. Can't help but recalling the vibes of some of the songs by Skepticism or Shape of Despair.

It's clear that your culture is fundamental in your music. Thanks for the explanation!
