Feb 2022 lo-fi mnet singer-songwriter finnish melancholy slow minimalist
Weekly challenge number one: body part. I chose the heart. I don't feel I implemented it enough in the text though.
I actually began writing this on Feb 1st but was having a hard time keeping it simple and yet satisfyingly complex at the same time to my own liking. After I stripped away everything else besides the voice and the guitar the song finally started to take shape. The outro was a spur of the moment thing, I just thought that this song can't just end here on the last chorus.
The lyrics.. I don't know what to tell the lyrics. They are about a brave person who is treated wrong, despite only doing the right things.
Kukkien kevät ujoin
on tuuli kääntynyt
kaikki kirjoitettu valmiiksi
pian on jo toukokuu
Eräpäivämäärä koitti
seisoit siinä vierelläin
pian lasi meidät erotti
ontto tunne sisälläin
Perjantai kahdeskymmeneskahdeksas
sitä en voi unohtaa
valokuva, viesti ja kynttilä
vielä lauluasi laulaa
Koitti aika nähdä
nuolet ilmassa
ja sinä taistelit
iskeytyen meihin
nuolet ilmasta
Nousit
sydän täynnä tulta,
usko huomiseen!
Oli aika nähdä
nuolet ilmassa
Ei taistelusi ollut turha
sen aivan hyvin valitsit
kohtaloosi, oikeusmurhaan,
selkä suorana astelit
Koitti aika nähdä
nuolet ilmassa
ja sinä taistelit
iskeytyen meihin
nuolet ilmasta
Nousit
sydän täynnä tulta,
usko huomiseen!
Koitti hetki kuolla
nuolet rinnassaan

Friday 28th
The flower-filled spring most shy
the wind has changed
everything has been written ready
soon it's already May
The date was due
you standing beside me
soon the glass separated us
I felt hollow inside
Friday 28th
I can not forget
the photograph, message and candle
yet sing your song
It was time to see the arrows in the air
and you fought
hitting us the arrows from the air
You rose
Heart filled with fire, believe in tomorrow!
It was time to see the arrows in the air
Your fight was not in vain
you chose it wisely
Towards your faith, the miscarriage of justice
you walked honorably
It was time to see the arrows in the air
and you fought
hitting us the arrows from the air
You rose
Heart filled with fire, believe in tomorrow!
It was time to die with the arrows in the chest

Still loving this and wondering how it doesn't have more comments.

Lovely! The guitar tone is both delicate and majestic at the same time and frames the vocals very well and the outro just gives me the chills, so cool!

Nice post-rock vibes in the echoey guitars. Touching and atmospheric. The lyrics have a poetic quality to them with strong imagery about injustice. I think you made the right call with the outro. Sounds wonderful and wraps things up nicely.
