AMORPHIS - "My Kantele" (Acoustic Reprise)

[arkhamianotargos]

Ahah great cover hurjaheikki

[hurjaheikki]

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense who say some other version is better than this. Their brains are made of great pike's poop, their heads out of water-dog's waste.

[RogerDaran]

I adore this. Madly.

[Azuluna357]

this is a great song,that bass is like thoom thoom thoom,lol

[cilibinarii]

is that kantele made out of pike bone by any chance

[Eaglejorge]

A good song to learn English

[antimente]

kalevala!!!!!!



[pervlo]

- Knock knock

- Who's there?

- Mike

- Mike who?

- Mike Antele

I needed to write this.

[BeaverMikel]

@pervlo Mike who? its Mike Dandy!

[btolbe12]

I'm sure that this is a great song, but I can't listen to it as the quality is aweful.

[JSCincorporated]

@btolbe12 /watch?v=Hld-g6DTf4Y&feature=r­elated

[StraytRayzorSymphony]

ha! i never knows that a grandpa's guitars can sound so awesomes. this ams killer!

[AIC2374]

Actually was really awesome... A great DM band with a lot of versitality

[sweet1987alby]

very cool :)

[Mausibausi99]

Super Musik!!!

[Yetzederixx]

This song, and their musicianship, is one of the reasons I still love Amorphis after all these years.

However, Elegy was not their first album. Tales from a Thousand Lakes was and then I'm pretty sure there was another before Elegy.

[VegardTveitan]

@Yetzederixx

The Karelian Isthmus was actually their first, Tales was second. This is a great song, but Tales from the Thousand Lakes is my favorite album by a long shot.

[flexyco]

My god! Never heard of adjusting the gain?! The sound is heavily distorted! Leave distorting sounds to the musicians, please!

[dambi91]

Truly a masterpiece. From Poland! heh... ;)

[TRINADJB]

THEY'RE ABSOLUETLY AWESOME, AND WILK TAKE USA BY STORM! OLD SCHOOL STYLE, BY THE BALLS!

[serengil]

@9ostoja9

Nasty sounds. That's why.

[DreaD0X]

Its belly out of hard days

Its soundboard from endless woes

Its strings gathered from torments, and its pegs from other ills

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense

[kronos6948]

I love this song, and the video...but the sound quality is blown out. Levels are way too high to enjoy listening to.

[Coronerjackle88]

excellent. Greetings from România

[HadBrunt99]

accordian solo, ftw

[Leichim7]

Finnish is the coolest language of all time. Don't understand a word of what they say, except for Perkele and Kiitos. Nontheless, it just sounds great.

[xobrasxx]

@Leichim7 Dude they are singing in english.....

[Leichim7]

@xobrasxx hmm, that's a fail for me... Than I didn't understand their english though. And still finnish is one of the coolest languages ever!

[SpineyVarg]

@xobrasxx I think he means the first language that the band speaks, not the actual lyrics in the song.

[penguinzzable]

where's Joutsen??

[EpicArt]

@penguinzzable wasn't with the band then. This comes from the first album ('96's Elegy) with Pasi Koskinen on vocals. Tomi J. joined the band in 2005.

[penguinzzable]

@EpicArt oh i see.. ty :D

[ujeen1980]

audio overloaded ! but track is awesome!

[Breydeck23]

ye the quality might not be good but the music by her self do the rest!

[diorey]

aweful audio...

[ppjra]

People at Relapse should take this out and upload one with decent sound quality. There's something very mych wrong with this one.

You can listen this from Spotify instead.

[Norlandsson]

Good song, interesting way of sining it

[siliyemoodislam]

for sure Amorphis is NOT the best band in the world, because we have My Dying Bride and Opeth, do not forget about Pink Floyd, Camel, and Eloy!

[reafras]

@siliyemoodislam

If you check all of their albums, amorphis is the most creative one of them.

[OakRidgePunk777]

What's up with metal fans having a problem with gay people and disregarding the video?

[TheSciLab]

@ you morons!!!! a true genius can keep you with a single note ! ! ! ! everything is a division of its sum!!!! so everything flows equally with it either being easy or more complicated to follow and understand!!!! so ..obviously you are intellectually challenged, and do not understand what music is ! ! from a real musician

[hellraidzor]

Opeth is a moronic band they are not death metal, they are not melodic death metal either, they are an experimental emo doom band. Everyone who doesnt have a grasp of metal listens to opeth because they can melancholize their idiotic lives.

[ASoulByondRepair]

@hellraidzor I can't even begin to explain how stupid you are.

[hellraidzor]

@ASoulByondRepair Fanboy detected.

[kyletheenigma]

@hellraidzor Troll detected.

[ASoulByondRepair]

@hellraidzor Cute, alright, I'll bite. First off, they aren't death metal, emo, doom, etc. They are a true progressive band, meaning they don't limit themselves to anything - they use influences and elements of all types of music. And to be honest, there are VERY few true progressive bands out there.

And having meaningful or deep lyrics doesn't make it emo either. All your points just make you a stupid, close-minded faggot.

[hellraidzor]

@ASoulByondRepair Alright, they are progressive but where does this "true" keyword come from? First off noone gives a fuck about your opinion. The only thing they are true to is FAILURE. Opeth fails at combining riffs into a single organized piece, that is why they are branded as progressive. All off their songs consist of disornanized parts breaking the harmony, creating an abomination. As for the lyrics, they are poorly written emo gibberish. Opeth is a fail band. you are a HOMO.

[ASoulByondRepair]

@hellraidzor Fails at combining riffs? Are you fucking deaf as well as dumb? They are probably one of the best flowing bands in all of music. They do transitions that other bands can only dream about in the snap of a finger, dozens of times in a song and make it work. And guess, what, no one cares about your opinions either. Stick to making animations and playing video games, leave the musical opinions to people who know what the fuck they are talking about.

[hellraidzor]

@ASoulByondRepair It is quite moronic to use the word best and opeth in the same sentence. Very fitting of someone like you to stalk my profile to come up with comebacks. Here: You might as well get a tattoo on your brain to cover your foolishness.

[anzthirteen]

man.. a decade past and this song destroys me like day one.

[razandrea]

one of the best songs ever written in the history of music!

[mreleganza]

i just love how such an amazing song can be written about an instrument. its amazing. i love folk metal because of Amorphis

[CorvidaeHerald]

Great song.

14 years old already...

[Icescreecher]

whats with the quality, once the drums kick in

[DennChooch]

this is really good, i never knew amorphis like this... i only knew their newer stuff. must says, i like this alot better. it's a completely different band!

[imiocic]

It must be very proud thing to be from Finland! These guys are so soulful ...

[69smileydeath69]

@imiocic Finland is a very beautiful country, and as I listen to this, it brings me the most touching image imaginable of my dearest birthcountry...

[Hateeternal2009]

@69smileydeath69 something about this song is very relaxing

[Ingremance]

Ce morceau est magnifique!

(même si le placement des mots est un peu étrange!)

[DasOhneEnde]

Ich Liebe dieses Lied!

[MCAmaZ]

It is awesome to be Finnish! Amorphis is awesome.

[shiller41cbg]

my favorite song!!! Kantele is like Russian Gusly... 

[SiquidProductions]

I need some METAL in my system!

[angelizer999]

chaos is beautyful.

[razandrea]

one of the best songs ever written

[86RetroGamer86]

Amorphis, today @ Vagos Open Air 2010, Portugal. I'll be there within 2 hours =)

[dyingcamel]

[Wotansp]

this will be always my fav band. no matter which bands will come, no matter which bands will leave... amorphis will be forever in my heart. They are just unique.

[261290]

@Wotansp Amen to this!

[ageofcrackpipe]

oldskool amorphis + mushrooms = win

[w543e]

@ageofcrackpipe yo spelled skool rong<U LIEK?

[YoLpIsBest]

@ageofcrackpipe I don't need mushrooms. Fucking loser piece of shit you are..

[arkhamianotargos]

@YoLpIsBest YOU are a loser, you have no idea of what he's talking about.

[YoLpIsBest]

@arkhamianotargos Oh yes I know. Don't come to talk me shit. Just enjoy the music.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@YoLpIsBest Yeah, motherfucker. Don't go to talk him shit. Just enjoy the damn music already.

[Loves2spooge696]

Fuck yeah, just bought Amorphis' DVD

[ulTralorDWASD]

@Loves2spooge696 me too, its great !!

[Grandtheftkilla]

This version is so much better

[DarKNess1111x]

this version kills the original!!

[WWFWCWECWOldSkoolFan]

@DarKNess1111x eh idk this ones great but its missing the sweet gituar solos

[razandrea]

one of the best songs ever written!..

[kennypenguin]

Great song... but what's up with the audio on the video?

[sephirothhatescloud]

AMorphis is one of my favorites since 1994. This is a great song

[CraigGSF]

Hey guys if you like Amorphis then you'll like my band Grey Skies Fallen. Check out my channel.

[punishuman]

My Kanthavel........

[VikingLady219]

I absolutely love this song and Amorphis in general. Why is it that some of the greatest bands come out of Finland (Sentenced, Nightwish, Ensiferum, Amorphis, etc)?

[Slayerking44]

@VikingLady219 because Finland is just hands down the BEST country in the world

[VikingLady219]

@Slayerking44 I would love to go there one of these days! And I just thought of another one of my favorite bands from Finland, Korpiklaani. :D

[gwalchafed]

@VikingLady219 becuase they live close to the nature? i am not sure, just a guess ;)

[Huima]

Niin paska laatu äänissä et naapuritkin nauraa.

[Warlandoz]

souds like piratas de dios!

[Ainathiel90]

One of the most athmospheric music videos ever! And I absolutely love the song.

[Witn355]

I think this version of "My Kantele" is better than the acoustic although the another one is more listened as far as I know..

[Superwondermanhyper]

@GuySmiley. Don't be a dickwad. You are not impressing anyone.

[Anthofa23434]

where can i get the tabs from or a explanation to play the end from 4:00 2 the end??

[GuySmiley689]

@Anthofa23434 You can find them on the internet.

[Anthofa23434]

@GuySmiley689 thx but i dun find them yet

[Anthofa23434]

this is one of the greatest songs on acoustic guitars

[flipemoff1]

Amorphis guys rule! Love from Russia!

[petraceknick]

one of their best! adore it

[Imbamorial]

I love that sound they had back in the days :) not like they have now @nuclearblast :S

Love you guys at Relapserecords, you know how to do it right!

[NearbyHermit]

Amorphis changed sound,not spirit !

[LeslieWolf71]

[wolf78ful]

[thordrand]

"bolbera"??? Joder......

[wolf78ful]

@thordrand oye guey eres español o de que parte del globo eres por que si no te gusta mi ortografia yo no se por que estas comentando en este espasio yo creo que no te has dado cuenta pero somos muy pocas las personas de habla hispana que damos nuestro punto de vista para estos grupos quiero pensar que solo te gusta chingar y no tienes nada que ber con el movimiento under y si asi es que pena me das. espero que no seas pura pose...

[thordrand]

@wolf78ful : Nací y vivo en Barcelona. Si tan preocupado estás por la poca gente que escribe en español sobre estos temas procura escribir mejor. Así aquellos que no tienen el español por lengua nativa podrán entenderte mejor. No esperes nada de mí, gracias.

[MasterOfDesharmony]

Incredible song...

[lauryamos]

temendo tema!! saludos desde chile!!

[MikeStann]

nice video, but something is wrong with the audio...

[ryukl80]

The first song I heard from them. It s been on my mind since that day, like 12 years form now. Kindly great.

[v27rv126mus]

this is a really nice song ^_^

[Sinbadovic]

Absolutely awesome track.

[ancientmariner1984]

This whole album is awesome!!

[kickingkingking]

Tämä video on ottanut minut vanhaan. Hail to our Suomen veljekset teidän Turkin veljekset

[IndianMetalHead333]

Is that a Sitar I see at 3:30?

[AllToRuin]

GRANDPA'S GUITARS!

[vmatt123]

Dethklok rules

[lulamacska]

Can anybody help me? I'm searching for songs like this one. Could anyone mention some Bands or songs?

[SuRihtanil]

Queensryche is a 80s / 90s band but they have some similar to the sound, but if you want Celtic music then of course google Celtic bands.

[diagonalise]

try 'The Brother Slayer' by Amorphis or their rendition of 'Levitation' by Hawkwind. or the album 'Elegy' follow on the same trajectory.

[micaZEPPELIN]

yo los fui a ver! :D fue lo mejor

[Fenrisvarg]

Donde?? Cuando?? Tira el listado de temas!!! Este jueves pasan por Chile y los iré a ver!!!!

[micaZEPPELIN]

el 8 de septiembre junto con Children of bodom.. an argentina, buenos aires :D

[wolf78ful]

@micaZEPPELIN que buena honda me da gusto que personas como tu gusten de tan magnificos grupos...

[SevereRepugnance]

Cool, didn't know they made a video for this, one of my favorite songs (both versions)

[koritnica]

tales from the thousand lakes they bring back memories,FINLAND and METAL are one!

GO FINLAND,I love you

[leodickle]

this song is from elegy not from tales..

[TrueAryanSoul]

nothing church metal my friend, its metal outta dark forests... :) how it supposed to be

[deenomat69]

best fuckin band on this planet

[000TrueGrit000]

ya Opeth man are you sure?

Like the band that came out waaaaay later?

[MsJamart]

Super.

[funwithknives2]

the recording is bad but the bass is right on

[samneillman]

i saw them live :p

the best band ever ^^

[digitaldevil665]

Rip off? Amorphis had 2 albums out before Opeth recorded Orchid! Dont get me wrong, Opeth is fantastic. Just do your research before you make stupid uninformed comments.

[ssjcell]

@digitaldevil665 who is opeth, they any good?

[AngelusFitzgerald]

@ssjcell most people will tell you that they are the band of the decade. listen to their album "Blackwater Park" and then you'll see why.

[HellHammerX]

Opeth? WTF? You're a tool

[HellHammerX]

This was a reply to GenericInsect1979. Nothing against Opeth whom I love

[Raintramp]

Yeah, sure it's truly their best song lol )

[Steinbach1983]

Nice Song...but the Bass is to much...

[digitaldevil665]

just a bad recording.

[imiocic]

hehehe zinedine zidane on vocals!!

Love amorphis!!! Love their every single tune!! Best band in last two decades!!!!

[THORA2012]

It was made from the grief Moulded from sorrow Its belly out of hard days Its soundboard from endless woes Its strings gathered from torments And its pegs from other ills So it will not play, will not rejoice at all Music will not play to please Give off the right sort of joy For it was fashioned from cares Moulded from sorrow.

[THORA2012]

The music and lyrics are inspired by the traditional Finnish ballads and poems compiled in the Kanteletar by Elias Lönnrot in 1840. The primary genre of the album is progressive metal, with strong folk influence, as well as elements of melodic death metal and New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

[deboehmler]

Their best song?

[mistvogel]

Black winter day after my opinion..tales from the 1000 lakes was the best album they have done

[uglyguido]

what is with the bass on this?

[tbskebab]

bad quality of the video i guess

[Fenrisvarg]

Olli-Pekka Laine, check at 4:09

I think the citar sound was better with an original Kantele, BTW, the song title is...

[lestatoo31]

A tomber !! Un truc de fous !! Magnifique !

[sharkmak]

great tunes from Finland

[Bouiscute]

Uu hyvä biisi

[Suholaani]

I really love Amorphis with Koskinen.... Their best days... Well, thats my opinion, anyway, wonderful song, one of my favourites.

[EA060]

That's my opinion too!

[embalmedvox]

I agree too.Pasi is one of the greatest frontman

[kt11840]

M2! ..and i'am glad to to say That Pasi is my friend, just talked with him on the phone. Was selebreting his birthday..big time =) (tomorrow)!

[Itseton]

I grew to love them even more with Joutsen.. I really liked Amorphis with Koskinen and I was spectic about the new singer, but the last two cds are just amazing.

[roarrscream]

good ol´90´s european sounds. brings me way back to my teen years.

[vagiosap]

I love its ending as nothing...

[vagiosap]

I love its ending as nothing
