It's hard being an older person looking back at a life..even a good one..that maybe you could have done more with. Go hard young people , it goes fast.
The feeling is there, because really you are not old. And no you could have not done (much) more, you never had the time. 80 revolutions around the sun is a single afternoon in the cosmic scale. What can you do in a single afternoon? Our minds have far surpassed our petifully small lives, I have no idea what we are doing out there not extending our lifespan. Really that is the only worthwhile project, we are the observers of the world, for all we know an unobserved universe is no more... Misallocation of capital is the term. If there is any suffering it is because of that. You are a young person in an old person's body... Old people would be as old as the oldest trees, eventually as old as the mountains ... That's old , our lives are so small, currently, that we will never know how it is to be old. We are born young, we live young, we die young. 80-90 years is a single afternoon, that's why it feels passing by so fast, because it *is* so small a window of life... Our feeling is correct, our insistence of calling it a long life isn't ...
Actually age is one kind of paradox in human life. It is the thing that you asume what people around you awaits from you and despite your own goals in life and confidence you go along the people around you acts. "do the right thing they said"
"The Antagonist" Once upon a time When the years flew brightly by You held my hand through the night You held my heart Manifold is the misery now And the joys turned to woe Alone in this time-eaten tower I wait for the dawn I listen, as if in a dream The wail of the winds But no one calls my name anymore For no one dares No song will resound No wail will rise No cry will be heard When curtain falls Stars look down on me From their thrones in the dark heavens Do they see inside my soul? Blackness there, nothing more How did I become this man? When I fell from grace? The one they all spite and fear The one you shun No song will resound No wail will rise No cry will be heard When curtain falls No tears will be shed No weepers on the grave No stone to recall my name When I leave this world And when they look back to these times And write down this tale How will they remember my part? How will they retell? The tyrant and the iron crown Old man with no soul The shadow they dread and abhor Not the hero of the play No song resounds No wail will rise No tear will flow When curtain falls No tears will be shed for me No weepers to wail on my grave No headstone to recall my name When I leave this world
Each time Insomnium releases a new song, it usually doesn't immediatelly appeal to me. I rather listen to it a few times as days go by. It slowly chisels it's own way into my soul and memory. After that it never gets old and I can repeat it all the time, goosebumps and all. Brilliant as always, thank you Insomnium!
Man this song hits hard now. My grandmother now is slowly going into dementia. She along with my mother literally raised me. God, the concept of lost time expessed in this beautiful work of art literally brings me to tears everytime I listen to it.
I can't imagine the world without Insomnium. They give us so much; they feed our souls. It's amazing how much sentiment they share throughout each single song. Thanks for sharing with us such marvelous poetry \m/
@@ibayazitov I see you like to rain on peoples parade. Did you know that music is subjective? So what you're spouting as fact is actually just your opinion that you think is fact and you're having a hard time letting someone else enjoy it? Not necessary bro
Insomnium is more than a mere artist, they are musical security-sad music translated as bright light..I'm always reminded I have a soul, when listening to Insomnium. Nietzsche said it best, "without music, life would be a mistake".
I saw these guys live in London a year back and bawled at front of stage and I'm here now listening and still bawling. Music that can make me cry is the best music to me.
I can't believe there was a time when these guys were gonna hang it up and pack it in. Couldn't be happier they decided against and we keep getting absolutely incredible tunes from them. EP is already amazing.
These are the reasons that make me love Scandinavian and more particularly Finnish metal, soul music, strength, values, respect, inspiration, so magical and magnificent ! 💖Thank you so much Insomnium ! 🙏😉🤘🤘🤘🇨🇵 
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. And nobody is better than Insomnium at experimenting with softer atmosphere and cleans without compromising their sound or the fact that they’re a metal band. Also the masters of heartache, they convey that feeling in their melodies better than anyone. Such a cool track and video.
@@robertbrooks9805 goth what? Because it's certainly not mainstream goth. Or Gothic industrial. Honest question as I never have a genre for the 3 I listed
@@crucifierdrums3209 No problem! I know too well what tough times means. I have been fighting against depression, anxiety and insomnia over three years and I have always got support from brothers and sisters from metal scene. After all, we are one big fucking family:D
Me too brother, somehow this reminds me that we're all part of a whole and that a nice gesture and an outstretched hand to the right person at the right time can have a bigger impact than one might think, empathy is one of the most powerful abillities we have as humans, much love to anyone that might read this, just remember that you're never truly alone and that some people do care, please don't give up, keep up the fight, virtual dark hugs from this weird and troubled stranger, peace out.
Simple but powerful words can describe this song and video; wonderful, perfection, powerful and emotional. Insomnium has been my absolute favorite band since I experienced them live in Oslo in 2013. I was also so lucky to talk to the whole band after their show. Incredibly talented and down to earth guys. You really deserve all the success. Insomnium has followed me for many years and helped me through both good and bad times in life.
Just imagine another song like this with Marco Hietala as a guest... It could break the internet!!!! Insomnium never disappoints! Wonderful job again guys! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Do these guys ever make a bad song, I'm serious because it's ridiculous how everything they make is an instant 9 or 10. I can't even rank this song because it makes me feel a different type of blackened despair and haunting hopelessness... Literally goosebumps!
Pure perfection what else can i say right now i have no words to describe how i feel every time when my favorite band relese a new song Thank you a lot Insomnium for your beautiful music...
Couldn't be more excited to hear such amazing music. I began the 2019 Chicago Marathon to Shadows of the Dying Sun. I'll never forget blocking out fellow runners and the sounds of the Windy City with such an amazing tune and an amazing album. These guys have harnessed moods and turned them into unforgettable melodies. Long live Insomnium. This tune is another great song from an amazing band. Many listens to come. Thank you, gentlemen.
I've listened to this song like dozen or so times and thought it was just a good song, but with this listen today it really struck me! Especially with the video but all in all Insomnium has really captured the essence in this song. It's difficult to describe you just have to listen to it and hopefully the track opens up for you as it did for me.
Every song from this band has never ever been a let down , there musical journey has been a gift to me and many others. They always hit the spot , seeing them live is an experience to be savoured and remembered , you've touched so many people with your music and may this continue for many more years to come . Hoping to get to Austria for another memorable evening . excellent guys , amazing
@@jntdhome Insomnium is great since the very beginning. Ville is the best, i cant agree to that! Lol please listen to Insomnium previous albums before Jani properly. 😂
@@hannawilliams5555 Oh I have. Been a fan for about 7 years now. I've been a fan of Jani since his early days with Sonata as well. I'm just a fan of his in general. Even Dark Element.
Music for the Soul…. But i would love to see Ville Friman & Jani Liimatainen do clean vocals together and also Ville to appear in the music videos… i know it was not possible due to covid and Ville I believe is in UK… but what an awesome song… cant wait for the EP… i hope the Wanderer will be lengthy long (9+ mins) 😍
Listening to this song live was a huge revelation to my soul and how I should go on from now on. This is just amazing. And must admit I didn't have faith to Liimatainen. Completely amazing.
@@igorpetrovskij как неоспоримый факт? Вот я возражу- их музыка далека от совершенства. Например, их земляки Swallow the Sun играют более интересную музыку!
Great song. I believe the new disc will be in the top 10 of this year. There music is something that makes your soul to be in another level. Hello from Athens
This song very much touches my soul... I listen to it several times during one day... it reminds of the fact that our lives will come to an end sooner or later, but however this song is a very sad song! The music and the lyrics are just fantastic! An INSOMNIUM concert was planned to take place in the town where I live, I already had a ticket, but the show was cancelled due to Corona :-(
- Born too late to see the first man on the moon. - Born too early to discover the mysteries of the universe. - Born in the right time to see and enjoy Insomnium.
Mission impossible. Choose just ONE good song from Insomnium. Yeah. Thats I thought. Impossible. Again one masterpiece from my home, heart and soul. Thank you!!
Leave it to Insomium to tell you a meaning and heartfelt story. As a metal lover and D&D lover I say that this band is the best thing that has ever happened, thank you Insomnium

I had to listen to it 4 times to really get the lyrics..dark and super deep I love it...

"The Antagonist"
Once upon a time
When the years flew brightly by
You held my hand through the night
You held my heart
Manifold is the misery now
And the joys turned to woe
Alone in this time-eaten tower
I wait for the dawn
I listen, as if in a dream
The wail of the winds
But no one calls my name anymore
For no one dares
No song will resound
No wail will rise
No cry will be heard
When curtain falls
Stars look down on me
From their thrones in the dark heavens
Do they see inside my soul?
Blackness there, nothing more
How did I become this man?
When I fell from grace?
The one they all spite and fear
The one you shun
No song will resound
No wail will rise
No cry will be heard
When curtain falls
No tears will be shed
No weepers on the grave
No stone to recall my name
When I leave this world
And when they look back to these times
And write down this tale
How will they remember my part?
How will they retell?
The tyrant and the iron crown
Old man with no soul
The shadow they dread and abhor
Not the hero of the play
No song resounds
No wail will rise
No tear will flow
When curtain falls
No tears will be shed for me
No weepers to wail on my grave
No headstone to recall my name
When I leave this world
Thank you not all heroes wear capes yo!😎
When l leave this wooooooorld yeeeeeeeeeeeah 🎼🔥
Thank you so much!
Words can never describe how thankful I am for you, Insomnium. Your music has been keeping my head above water for years....thank you.

Literally same. I heard this song and thought it sounded nice but I wasn't hooked. After a few more listens though, I became addicted lol.
Same here. I need a week when I´m able to listen it (mostly continually) again.
It is an interesting pattern.
The band of my heart.

I was really sad too but I saw them live in London in Nov 2023 and they sounded phenomenal
out of every bands that I've ever heard and listened to, Insomnium connects with my soul the most
The best melodic death metal band ever.
We expected you in Greece soon. 🤘🤘🤘🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Insomnium NEVER disappoints!!!!!!!!! another brilliant song from one of the very best melodeath bands out there
There is no way to explain how those songs fit in my soul. Insomnium have my heart since the first song. You have a brazilian fan

This is beautiful. So relaxing!
Melodic music + Wonderful lyrics + Goosebumps = Insomnium
Good song, so like this slow-strong changes in Voice and Guitars. Thumbs up from bavaria :)
Insomnium is back for Shadows of the Dying Sun sound. It is another masterpiece.
That was one of my favorite albums they wrote
shadows of the dying sun is my all time favourite album, i hope they can top theirselves =D
Thank you so much guys.
From Iran.
I don't have words, good enough to describe my feelings and gratitude for such wonderfull song. Every common word would be meaningless.
Such a piece of art! Cannot wait for this EP!
This song is one of the strongest / deepest. There's a before and after listening it... Wow

I love listening to Insomnium, especially around fall and winter. September is the perfect release time for this EP. So looking forward to it.😁🍁
Was so so busy last months that i didn't notice this...ty Insomnium...bring me to life 💓
I think Insomnium is the only band I know where every song is good. And I mean really, really good. This song, for example, is epic.
Top tier 24/7
Leave it to Insomium to tell you a meaning and heartfelt story. As a metal lover and D&D lover I say that this band is the best thing that has ever happened, thank you Insomnium
Just beautiful
these magical charming voices...they make me listen to the song again and again 😍
Jani is one of the best thing ever happened to this band!
I have the same opinion. Ville is busy with his academic career and Jani suits well to band with his magical voice and great talent to compose...
I love this band, quality metal with a lot of style!
Insomnium is gift to humanity

Excelente, como siempre gran regalo nos dan los chicos de Insomniun
