Hi, yes I was shocked to hear of his death. What is the music in this video?

[illegre]

The music is the last track from Pekka Pohjola's album Visitation (1979) called Try to Remember.

The middle section of this is uncannily beautiful, I can't get it out of my mind.

[TheSymmachus]

Hey, that was a great song.

[jazzuka]

Pekka was a true idol of mine since I was 10 or so and he got me to grab a bass in a serious way. Although music is nothing more than fun and hobby to me, Pekka still is the inspiration number 1 to me and I think that no one should underestimate his skills as a bass player (general?) and as a composer. Thank you Pekka, for thousand times.

By Job, this is profusely good.

Joe Hisaishi has listened to this...?

That guy had enough courage to write that kind of song. And if there's somebody who think that is not amazing, then I don't know what would amaze them.

Astonishing song. Piece of art and aid for my ears. I would like to have it on my phone but i can't find it on the net anywhere. Thx for uploading

This is dam'n epic<3

Jatkan vielä sen verran, että jos sävellykselle haetaan innoittajaa, pitää mennä kauemmas. Yksi Pohjolan suurista sankareista nimittäin oli, ei enempää tai vähempää kuin itse Jean Sibelius. Kuunnelkaapa huviksenne jälkimmäisen ensimmistä ja toista sinfoniaa.

[tervasuo]

Itse asiassa biisin työnimi oli Bassokansanlaulu, ja Pohjolan mukaan sävellys oli viimeinen yritys tehdä soolokappale bassolle. Visitation taas on täynnä pelkkiä ulkomaankielisiä biisejä muistaakseni, joten työnimi ei tainnut oikein sopia siihen.

[kimptoni]

Hieno biisi. r.i.p
