Well this was a utterly horrific project. Starting fawm by being sick isn't pure joy, since most of the vocal tracks are me wheezing, sneezing and other assorted sounds. Tried my best to leave them out.
I started with the main theme and everything else fell in place really easily except for the lyrics. I wanted to do a song with the classic idea of using a name of a woman as the title. So here is Tuuli, also meaning wind in finnish. Clever lyrics, huh. Also did a really crude and stupid translation.
Sinä olet nimetön tie
ja minä olen eksynyt liian monta kertaa
tunnetko sen kun hiljaa tuuli yltyy
Jos sinä olet myrsky
olet myöskin majakka ja tähdet
silti peität allesi kaiken ja katoat pimeään
Sinä olet kaunis ja kepeä
silti mielesi synkkä
ja pimeä sut nielee jos katson
hetkeksikään pois
//
Sinä olet tuuli, joka voi nostaa
sen suurimman myrskyn, jonka silmässä vallitsee rauha
vain hetken
ei se kauaa voi kestää
//
Sinne minne sinä et vie
sinne ei oo tarvetta mennä
silti tunnetko sen kun vauhti liikaa kiihtyy
jos sinä olet mykkä
mä voin olla silmät ja korvat
ja käyhän se niin, että ollaan ihan hiljaa
Sinä olet tuuli
Sinä olet Tuuli
You are a road without a name
and I've been lost too many times
can you feel the wind rising
If you are a storm
you are also the lighthouse and the starts
still you cover up everything and disappear in to the dark
You are beautiful and light
still your mind is bleak
and the darkness will take you
if I look away for a second
//
You are the wind, that can rise up the biggest storm, within it's eye is only a brief calm, that can't live for long
//
Where you won't take me,
there is no need to go
still do yo feel when the speed starts to be too much.
If you are a mute
I can be the eye and the ears
And if it's okay for you, we could remain quiet.
You are the wind
You are Tuuli

Oh man, those lyrics are beautiful. Not that the song isn't, because it is, but the lyrics get under my skin.

I love that lead lick you open with! Instant hook! This is a real belter! This is going to live rent free in my head for ages. If you can make this Downloadable or cab forward on the mp3 I'd love to play this on my FAWM radio show tomorrow night

I know I already gave you feedback through other channels on this track but I had to come comment here because I found myself humming to this tone at work. Great job with the melody.

You're definitely the master of this 90ish Extra Big Epic Rock, there's just so many small details to focus on and it all combines into this beautiful song.
One of the best I've heard from you.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Hope you are good now! This is class, no gems to offer just love the full sound! Very enjoyable listen
@janikolmedee Feb 2022
This is very awesome song! Stayed playing in my head after listening. Jee!
@kirjis Feb 2022
You make such radio ready songs in FAWM, it's incredible. Fun fact, my wife's name is Tuuli, she says hi ;)
@judypie Feb 2022
Oh wow, this is full of Splendour! Sounds perfect in my headphones!
@nadine Feb 2022
This made my day, thank you. I completely love this melodic epic metal. Your clean vocals are great and please get well soon. Super great production, I dunno what to say. Awesome!
@pumpkinhead Feb 2022
This was exactly what I needed right now, some power. I do hear you having a pretty bad cold going there and maybe you will redo the vocals when you feel better. I know you have a great voice and also know it's pretty hard singing when sick. I gotta say you did a pretty good job anyways. Thanks. Peace

I love the epic vibe going on! The translation to 'Sinä olet kaunis ja kepeä silti mielesi synkkä ja pimeä sut nielee jos katson hetkeksikään pois' makes an awesome prelude before the chorus hits
@mattwdunn Feb 2022
Love the guitar work. Great epic feel to the track
@b3nut Feb 2022
Way to power through a vocal! Nice work and this grooves. Love the guitar work here...the prechorus is really strong too. Great work!
