If somebody is going to cover song like Finlandia, i think it would be polite to write description about its history, like composer, country & year. Considering Finlandia hymn has essential part in Finnish history, i find this cover cheap and irritating. Good heavens, this master piece of music is usually played by an orchestra.
Madventuresin pojat soitti tän Basso Radiossa eilen. Hyvä versio. Sanatkin, vaikka ehkä naiivit, on erinomaiset, varsinkin kun niiden perussanoma tuntuu unohtuvan liian usein...
Sympaattisen Biafran kansallislauluna tai amerikkalaisena hihhulibiisinä Finlandia vielä menee, mutta tämä, jonkun lahjattoman proletaarirunoilijan ensimmäinen ja samalla myös viimeinen teos, on kyllä paskinta lyriikka mitä olen ikinä kuullut.
"The finnish version of lyrics was written in 1941. The words the choir is singing in 1934. And, unless you are singing in Finland, if you sing finnish lyrics, no chance to give the message to the audience." From the Nino Rota youtube
To everyone here bashing the song, saying it "rapes" our Finlandia hymn, that Joan Baez has misunderstood the meaning of the better known version of the song, or any other nationalist mentions...you do realise this is just another version of Jean Sibelius' hymn with yet another version of lyrics? Please listen to the lyrics and understand the meaning, which is not blind nationalism, but tolerance and nderstanding of all nations, peace and love.
What the hell Finlandia turned to religeon song this is outrageous Finland hymn is not about god or religion. True words are more closely like this ou look Finland ty day is rising treaths of the night has been driven away. and the lark of the morning sing's in the mornings brightness like the deck of sky would ring. Ty day has come ou nativeland. ou rise Finland rise high ty head wreathed by the great memorys. ou rise Finland you have shown to the world that you have driven away continues
Actual words : Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning, the threat of night has now been driven away. The skylark calls across the light of morning, the blue of heaven lets it have its way, and now the day the powers of night is scorning: thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours! Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest thy head now crowned with mighty memory. Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest that thou hast thrown off thy slavery, beneath oppression´s yoke thou never liest.
I love the music of Sibelius and of Joan Baez, but the mixture - I don't really know! Her pitch will soon be in the bass area!! OK, we all become older. Who wrote the lyrics?
@rosteriperse Voi pyhä perse. Eikö pitäis ennemminkin olla ylpeä kun tätä lauletaan, oli sitten suomalainen tai ulkomaalainen laulaja! Ja miten se muka tuon SOVITUKSEN raiskasi? Vai tarkoititko kuitenkin sävellystä... ja jos tarkoitit niin sittenhän sinä itse raiskasit suomenkieltä.
Oi Nouse Suomi, Nouse korkeallle!! ... On se hieno !!!
