KORPIKLAANI - Tuuleton (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

#korpiklaani #tuuleton #folkmetal
Tuuleton – The Windless
A bird-themed story where Windless is an almost flightless bird. He groans when he flies, but it's not good to be on the ground either. He mourns his inability to fly like the others and is bitter because he is not accepted by the others just because he's different.
Winter is coming and when the nightly frosts arrive it becomes increasingly difficult to survive in the cold ground.

DIRECTOR'S WORD
All of the music videos from the album "Jylhä" are made during the Covid-19 pandemic, and I wanted that to show somehow in this last story. Years have passed and the old man now lives in his hut with his grown-up daughter. Age starts to weigh, he feels feeble and dejected. On top of this he has caught some disease from one of his trips, and his time seems to be running out. The disease makes his mind wander, leading him to his deceased wife and her marshy grave, to landscapes already familiar from the "Leväluhta"-video. But will it be his time to go...?

LYRICS - Tuomas Keskimäki

Tuuleton näitä puita ei koske,
sen itku peittänyt kaiken maan.
Tuuleton voisi hiljainen olla,
vaan se yllä kulkiessa huomataan.
Istuu vaiti, makaa kuura kasvoilla,
kun aamu syntyy takaa pimeän.

Paikalleen päätyy jokainen meistä,
eivät yksin kulje pään yli jäätyneet.
Saarelle saapuu hiljaiset kurjet,
joiden auraan yhtyy jäästä selvinneet.
Painuu pää, lipuu luopuneen lautta,
jään kiilto kuin taivaan kautta hohtaa.

Kituvana astuu sammalmättään – Tuuleton.
Ikijoissa juuret jäätää puita.
Ikävä ei souda vastaan, istuu vierelle:
ikävässä kaikuni on kovempi!

Alenevan elon vuoksi rastaidenkin
talvitie kulkisi päältäni!
Hangella hiljainen Tuuleton!

Pään yltä tuntuu kaikki maa nyt menevän,
eivät minua mukaan ottaneet.
Jään seuraan hiljaa katoavan tuulen,
ylitsemme käyvät siipein taipaleet.
Varjot kuin valoja yllä pimeän maan sylien,
valot kuin tuntemattomien askeleet.
Yölliset kuin päiviä päällä päivätönten kylien,
alleni jäähän kylmät jalkani jäätyneet.

Kituvana astuu sammalmättään – Tuuleton.
Joen lautta kylmää jalkaluita.
Ikävä ei souda vastaan, istuu vierelle:
ikävässä kaikuni on kovempi!

Alenevan elon vuoksi rastaidenkin
talvitie kulkisi päältäni!
Rastaiden taipaleet näen jäältäni.
Talvitie kulkisi päältäni!
Hangella hiljainen Tuuleton!

TRANSLATION
The Windless doesn’t touch these trees,
its crying has covered all the ground.
The Windless could be the silent one,
but noticed when travels above.
Sits silent, the frost rests on the face,
when the morning is born behind the dark.

Every one of us ends up in its own place,
the frozen ones don’t travel alone over the head.
The silent cranes arrive to the island,
and survivors of ice join to the wedge of cranes.
The head falls, and the ferry of one who surrenders gliding,
the shine of ice shimmer like through the sky.

Steps as ailing over the moss – The Windless.
The roots freezes trees in eternal rivers.
The longing doesn’t row against, sits next to:
in longing my echo is louder.

Because of descending life,
the winter road of throstles would pass over me!
The silent Windless is on the snow!

It feels like all the ground is going overhead,
they didn’t take me with them.
I stay with silently disappearing wind,
the journeys of wings go over us.
The shadows are like lights over the laps of the dark ground,
the lights are like strangers’ footsteps.
The nocturnal are like days over the day less villages,
under me my cold feet are frozen on the ice.

Steps as ailing over the moss – The Windless.
The river’s ferry freezes the foot bones.
The longing doesn’t row against, sits next to:
in longing my echo is louder.

Because of descending life,
the winter road of throstles would pass over me!
I see the throstles’ journeys from my ice.
The winter road would pass over me!
The silent Windless is on the snow!

I don't understand a word but Finnish is so pleasing to my ears :D

Ingredients of the healing potion

- 3:46 Valkosipuli - Garlic (Allium sativum)
- 4:03 Katajan marjoja (ja lehtiä 3:50) - Dried berries (and needles) of Juniper (Juniperus communis) or blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), hard to tell from the video.
- 4:03 Kanervan lehtiä - Fresh leaves of heather (Calluna vulgaris) or possibly some species of thyme (Thymus sp.), again, hard to say. Probably Thyme, either tarha-ajuruoho (Thymus vulgaris) or kangasajuruoho (T. serpyllum), but because it's winter and the herb is fresh, it doesn't fit too well to given circumstances of historical environs. Heather instead is available all the year, even from under the snow, though T. serpyllum can be in theory collected during winter too.
- 4:10 Hunajaa - Honey - in this context, probably from the wide variety of flowering plants growing at natural or agricultural meadows
- 4:11 Väkiviinaa - Spirit (Spiritus fortis, >40 Vol%), probably homemade moonshine etc. distilled alcohol.
- Kuumaa vettä - Hot water.

Both the recipe and preparation process are sensible regardless of uncertainties in used ingredients.

Edits: few clarifications and additions

One of the interesting things about this video is that the girl seems to be making her father a tea out of garlic, some sort of shrub that looks like wild thyme or juniper, dried red berries that are probably supposed to be rose hips and honey...all of which would be very helpful in a tea to soothe a sore throat or respiratory complaint, as would be the black liquorice that Finns are traditionally very fond of. In fact, my late husband (whose mother was from Karelia, and was more knowledgeable about healing herbs than anyone else I have met) would put fresh garlic on cuts. He said it hurt like hell, but it worked!

I just listened to this song from Spotify. This is the best album of the year and this is the best song of the year. Ov my Odin. We met Korpiklaani in Bran, Romania in 2019, Rockstadt Extereme Festival. It was raining and they were trying not to wet under the rain. I just recognised them and invited to the bar we were hanging out. They just entered the bar and drank beer and vodka of course! They played incredible that night. It was another perfect night with Korpiklaani.. Yes.. This is the best album of the year. Korpiklaani never dissapoints but this album is simply perfect art! Greetings from Istanbul.

[cekapdah]

My dream comes true... That old man is still starred in korpiklaani music video

[arecuknikul]

Finland is a beautiful country, Finland has the best bands in the world, love it ❤️🇫🇮🤟

[paganavenger]

Finland has one of the best intense and energetic heavy metal music that I have ever heard. Korpiklanni has like the best folk metal music that I have ever listened to. 😎

[nikitakunaev]

Привет из Подмосковья! Похоже на греющий душу симбиоз "Короля и Шута" с щепоткой Sabaton'a. Душа роцкера в восторге, тысячи рок лайков! :)

[kidinabstract]

I am completely smitten with this band and their music. It's just gorgeous. Every song has a story and every story they tell is great.

[felixherrera]

This band never disappoints. Their music gets better and better with time. ¡Hail Korpiklaani! 🌲✊Greetings from South America

[Счастливый-ръ]

я так не в одном фильме за героев не переживал, как в этом клипе за деда!))красавцы!!

[zaraza]

Красавцы!!! Круто замутили, аж до мурашек пробирает!

[yalla_mayara]

01:50 am. I'm listening the songs off Jylhä. Really, Korpiklaani changed my life in some many ways. Thank guys, for bringing me happiness even when i'm most destroyed. Kiitos ❤️🇧🇷

[ReaperKezia]

How is this song only 4 days old when I feel like I've already known it for a lifetime. It's so good!

[wixterolovson]

Я человек простой, вижу новый клип корпикланев - ставлю лайк))

[mona_sparrow]

I'm Russian and it feels soooo awesome to listen to this song at night outside. Feels like a winter weather song

[qEtkvcc]

I started learning Finnish because of korpiklaani. I adore that language.

[phat]

Режиссер-сценарист-оператор - профи. Не все могут снять клип дёшево, но настолько качественно, тем более почти в одиночку.

[ЛёшаФеанор]

Слушаю и прям такие эмоции накатывают хочется кричать припев вместе с Йонне, сильная песня оставляющая чувство какой-то тёплой грусти. Честно говоря даже немного прослезился. Всё-таки металл это музыка умеющая пробуждать сильные чувства...
P.S.даже никогда не подумал бы что под Корпиклаани можно немного погрустить

[СветланаГареева-ци]

Очень нравятся последние клипы. Они прям по-настоящему финские.
