Apocalyptica - Ruska

[TrinityScar]

It still makes me think of a caged bird.

[crimsonBlair]

The original song is played by five instruments and you gotta keep the same feeling with only one, that says it all.

This is my favorite track from the album (the whole band almost) and I think it's amazing what you did, congratulations (:

And I'm using the google translator, sorry if something is not understood ^^

[TheWikipedia02]

Can't find words for this... it's just.. amazing.. Damn it, it's fucking amazing! ^^♥..

[zVenFTW]

Talent > World.

[manos84702]

To the sound of this song i have first kissed the love of my life!!! Thank god is one of the few songs that can match the way i feel about her!!!

[TheDgau]

Some times music speaks and says more than a 1000 pages novel...

[lalota3]

You are lucky if you have heart that can feel the world, and knowledge to express it...

[pakialo006]

Ruska wódka ♥

[soccerchic7ful]

Their songs are so powerful. When I first heard this, I almost cried. It just goes to show, you don't need lyrics or fancy computers to make an impact musically.

[666ninetails]

oh god ive become obsessed with this one song....not that im complaining oh no not at all! but jeez i wanna die to this song!

[gogokdoekkee]

I want this osng on my funeral  : ))

[mms0303]

I would like to die in Apocalyptica's Ruska

[htfflippymonster]

calm, peaceful, nice pace....good song love it, and i agree with Seljevi best song no doubt, and my favorite song is Fisheye

[siljevi]

The best song from Apocalyptica. No doubt.

[jwpmichal]

Ruska, to kobieta pochodząca z Rosji.

[music182815]

the melody of life... <3

[LLDLP4ever]

I love this song, and I play the cello, so I'm trying to play it!!! Apocalyptica is the best cello group I ever heard :D

[tmmarehehehe]

can anyone understand why is that the first place comment?

[ElenaXVI]

@tmmarehehehe You think too much about stuff that doesn't matter, get a life.

[Nikolovski7nikola]

my nick is Ruska :) And this song is for me :) !

[marusijedobytkovna]

totok me dostalo :-) kazdou chvili si ji poustim a este se mi neoposlouchala :-D i kdys myslim ze se to ani neda....

[bloodyvampyrela]

ce titre est poignant toujours les larmes en l'ecoutant

[mrhanover]

ಥ_ಥ \m/  (there now thumbs me up

[TheEyes629]

@mrhanover

aaaand thumbs down.

[mrhanover]

@TheEyes629 ಥ_ಥ ... Why is the world so cruel to me... Time to get the shotgun and kill myself...ROFL!

[S3lvah]

Ruska means the colours of autumn... And this song aptly captures the feeling of nature wilting and dying in the wake of winter.

Listen to this song while reading a sad part of a beautiful story, and it will enhance its effect tenfold... To the point of crying.

[ElenaXVI]

@S3lvah Butterball by Maupassant :)

[sakurawan289]

@S3lvah before reading ur comment when i lsn to this song i used to imagine this a deserted cold place with dead leaves everywhere and nothing but silence .

when i read ur comment i was like 0.o !! i LOVE THIS SONG ,, such a calm and painful one

[TheEyes629]

Anyone else find it odd that neither of the top comments are related to the music?

[xxblackmagnoliaxx13]

THis song makes me never want to listen to anything but Apocalyptica forever

[TheEyes629]

Tears.

[BleakHeart1]

The piano is playing the same beat as the Halloween theme song lol

[xxblackmagnoliaxx13]

@BleakHeart1 It's pretty close, but this rythm is slightly different because of the extra notes on the downbeat

[inesmalti97]

Never a song that could emote so many feelings at once..i have been playing this song over, and over, and over...so powerful..

[ChudyPaliGrudy]

@daleburger2 cheers from Poland then mate :) hope to see u in my country someday so we can drink some polish beer which is probably one of bestest in the world... but for now..... lets just enjoy this beatiful ART \m/

[SuperGoonch]

wow...one word describes this - - - EPIC! Reminds me of a warrior walking off a battlefield after killing thousands of men or something

[n0n570p]

it's cello metal, the other ones are just in some of their songs, but in every single one of their songs the genre is cello metal

[hashishkiller]

what genre are their songs?

[dittusendattus]

@hashishkiller folk metal I guess. I'll look it up on Wikipedia.

here's what Wikipedia says; classical music, neo-classical metal, post-grunge, progressive metal, thrash metal, and symphonic metal.

[ElenaXVI]

@hashishkiller Who cares? Real beauty cannot be described by words and put into groups. Just listen to it and hope you'll stumble upon something beautiful again tomorrow.

[IcravePain]

I find the girl that linked me this song sexually attractive

[Nintendodude1994]

I find this music sexually attractive.

[masterleonnoel]

i love this! what genre is it?

[OverclockedGaming]

@masterleonnoel The genre is music. Music in all it's greatness. It cannot be defined other than by what most would consider beauty. It is a piece of art that cannon be inscribed on paper, however it may never leave our minds. This, good sir/ma'am. Is Apocalyptica, and it is a gift to our presence. :)

[OverclockedGaming]

@OverclockedGaming  cannot*

[masterleonnoel]

@OverclockedGaming i actually cried a little :*) as you can see i don't get out much lol

[n0n570p]

@masterleonnoel Apocalyptica made a genre of their own, they are pretty known about this, how can you not know? Anyway it is called I think "officially", Cello metal, Search on Wikipedia, Apocalyptica

[BTori26]

Most beautiful. When all know how to feel this emotion for all humanity.

I"ll cry then.

[BTori26]

Most beautiful.

[RogerOnche]

I want this played to my funeral, and then the rickroll.

[Damonjager09]

I imagine a figure dressed in black walking through an autumn forest for miles and coming across a stone tomb in a clearing. They look around to see if anyone is around and then enter and walk down it's steps into darkness illuminated only by a few torches. They make it to the bottom to find a single corpse in the center of the chamber. The dark figure lifts their hood to reveal a grief-stricken widow. The stories of his death in battle were unfortunately true, after all.

[WirlWind494]

@Damonjager09 It made me think of something like a final charge, few against many, knowingly riding to their deaths in sacrifice. An epic and valiant battle takes place, they fight bravely, but are overwhelmed by the enemy force.

[darkkrog]

kind of sounds like a song from the ps3 game Heavy Rain! EPIC!!!!!!!!!

[eduardo6ize]

this song should never end. I listen this song over and over again.

[behnanorr]

i'll put my girls name ruska

[renegad0metal]

Nothing to say just listen

[tallonmetroids271]

@renegad0metal Aye.

[anabernal457]

i love it....

[VetFW]

Remember all who have fallen. Si vis pacem, para bellum, to you my brothers.

[WingsofEveningLight]

This song always makes my heart sink in a beautiful way.

[claddaghcelt]

__/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_____________h­eartbreaking.

[1uniquelittlesoul]

i wonder what ruska means ^^' ?

[billsdestiny]

@1uniquelittlesoul Ruska in finnish means "fall colours" or more poetically 'forest glowing with autumn tints" i find it beautiful :)

[1uniquelittlesoul]

@billsdestiny ahaa aaaw! ^_^

[SuperShadowMarioFan]

This is one of many to inspire a creative designer...well done Apocalyptica...and you VonnLaymann for posting. Thanks...

[makemesmile857]

:l cant say nothing on this song this is a amazing song :O

[tuhokone1]

theres nothing as beautyful song as this one is...

this is just so heart breaking song...

[Kopious11011]

I listen to this then go straight to listening to Farewell. Two amazing pieces when put together...and alone ;3 Nothing that these guys come up with is bad.

[anibalnini]

beautiful song

[MononokeRose91]

gosh this is such a good piece of music:)

[foremmahamilton]

what a stunning piece of music

[ollie13239]

my favourite of their songs 

[SomeRandomKyleFanXDD]

Wow, this style of music is so original! So beautifully sad, I love it!

[msruska95]

I' from Georgia (country) and my name is Ruska

[PohjolaNorden]

@msruska95 Beautiful name. In finnish it means Autumn colours.

[Shoosmita]

@PohjolaNorden thanx!

[Shoosmita]

@msruska95 thats nice indeed. congratulations on having the name of this wonderful composition

[zigicloncari]

@msruska95 Serbien language have name Ruska too.

[Elleshar123]

@msruska95

I think you must be proud of that name :) just because of this song :)

[DOCTOROCTAGONAPUSS]

Now i am forced between to women, my good friend who i see as only a friend, but she wants more, or the girl who left me at one point and now wants to fix an unfixable wound.....oh the irony....tis enough to dround in.....

[jetsr]

OH ME GUSTA

[TDGnumb1]

amaizing song i don't have words

[NatBassDude]

I understand why some people might dislike it. It could be argued that the distortion is a bit much, but i like it. The interesting piano and string rhythm at the start of the track also make the drum pattern seem a bit plane and i don't think they added anything to the song. So those are dislikable elements. The Song's still beautiful though.

[AlteredNote]

What a magnificent piece, one of my favorites by Apocalyptica.

[enriquepenia]

it make me feel sad, its realy strange how they can make it whith a song

[Electric0eye]

Not to be unoriginal, but I really cant comprehend someone disliking this. This, Is music of the soul!

[katiaprotectorGW]

Don't write so depressive comments, it's scary.

[xoxololhorsesrock101]

[mafagafofo]

[Ninnifi]

[JesterSeregdhel]

[DanielHooch]

somebody plays Halloween theme in the backgroud... do you hear that?

[ChalkboardFatass]

@DanielHooch Oh yeah, nice. I thought it sounded a bit more like "Tubular Bells", but you're right.

[OpheliaAesthesis]

Such a gorgeous song.. <3

[godjay5]

You can notice in the begging how it grabs your attention and in the middle it shows you the power of the song then in the 2nd part of the middle it explains what the song means how deep and emotional this is then at 2:30 it begins the power of the song again and at the finally at 3:29 it shows both sides of the song joining and composing the lovely music.

[Pukaszir]

great

[JBluegem]

Ahh, I play the Cello...I am sooo proud of it x3

[hevitytto]

NOW that's the reason I started to play cello ..

[MesserJack72]

@MaxterandKiwiKing lool xDD

[MaxterandKiwiKing]

@MesserJack72 Thnx! :)

[AriagilTheLadiesMan]

Beautiful. Very original and heartbreaking. Really good as soundtrack for trailer, or as the main soundtrack to a film.... Awesome. This is original by Apocalyptica, is it true?

[jeankevandewalle1]

@AriagilTheLadiesMan

it actually is used as a trailer soundtrack,for the movie cold, look here

[jeankevandewalle1]

@AriagilTheLadiesMan

vimeo.com and then cold trailer

[EdwardMarshall1982]

@AriagilTheLadiesMan Probably for the 50th time. I have never heard of Ruska before this song after I haven't found anything on it besides Apocalyptica, but my question to you so called "Ladies Man". How many beauties have you put to sleep with this song? I have a feeble 10 or so(no less than 9 no greater than 12) My memory fades after so many drinks, but this song turns vagina's into waterfalls. I mean beauties not barflies.....cheater.

[DescendingDeath]

@AriagilTheLadiesMan you can't really call it original, you should try and listen to the ''michael myers theme'' and you will be like .. ''hey this guy makes sense'' go look it up and comment back to me please ;)

[FabrikaStraha]

Beautiful song. My Favourite from Apocalyptica. <3

[woodythewoodchuck1]

This song is so beautiful but yet the memories it brings to me make me feeld dead inside..

[IhZegura]

MUY BUENA ROLA

[coccinellaification]

[AEGIS55842]

Anyone who Dislikes this isn't listening, they are trolling.

[EdwardMarshall1982]

@AEGIS55842 Maybe people don't know music anymore.

[DOCTOROCTAGONAPUSS]

Words cannot describe the multitude of beauty within this song.

[THEBLACKJESUS1996]

31 people are FORCED by a contract to like bieber and to hate this

[funkyro0ock]

how can someone dislike this!!

[amiloveteddy]

FAVOLOSI !

[BlurryDream]

Beyond anything i ever imagined.. a true master piece.

[TheBUKSNA]

Perfectionism.

[falkenhagen156]

amazing...real....beautiful

[FirstApoFan]

31 people just don't know what REAL music is. Too sad for them.

[loviepops]

Beautiful. Do I really need to say anything else?

[ComplexityComplex]

[GaraaNKiba]

This song will make grown men cry. That's how epic it is.

[amitakartok]

This is... oh my God... I heard quite a few Apocalyptica songs but I'm hearing this one for the first time and it's... I'm almost crying over here!!! It's sad yet beautiful like you wouldn't believe!

[EloisaTerraLuna]

Great!! I like Apocalyptica since I was 12...

[DunDeagh25]

[DunDeagh25]

@Cartoonkarl1...if you are going to comment, at least of use of proper mechanics, grammar and spelling. Not all Brits are as you say, "Brits are always vile and angry, smell like ass too, just like their country!" When was the last time you took a sociology class or a psychology course? Think before you most comments. Last time I checked, "Karl" is a European name.

[rriikkasd]

This is a very beautiful song. (: Our gymnastic group has had used this in our program (:

[Ritafeet]

I remember when i first heard this song, i was 8 years old.

and believe it or not, i cried with pure joy.

now im 13 and i still remember those moments where absolute harmony and deepness could make me feel sad. This is a masterpiece...

Thumbs up if you think so too.

[TheSouthernDawn]

@Ritafeet lol....

[TheGrandBrand]

5/4 meter FOR THE WIN ^^
