Lyrics:
I am the mist in the morning, I am the moss in the ground
You are the light that cuts through the stone
I am the worms in the dirt, I am the branches reaching the sky
You are the source, the orchestrator of life!
In the dark rain, the grey mountains sing
A sad song of Winter and the howling wind
Visions of the past in the haunting dreams
Under the dead sky, under the withered trees.
The night falls upon the forest that weeps
Father of shadows that forever sleeps.
I saw the lakes that shimmer, I heard the clanging of the wild rivers
You are the voice that carries throughout the land
I felt the strength of my ancestors as I walked through the land of the dead
You are the fire that burns forever
In the dark rain, the grey mountains sing
A sad song of Winter and the howling wind
Visions of the past in the haunting dreams
Under the dead sky, under the withered trees.
The night falls upon the forest that weeps
Father of shadows that forever sleeps
I would love to plunge into Jari's mind to see what his creativity and his ingenuity are capable of. Truly a modern music genius, every song is deep, powerful and coming from the bottom of his soul
Only 57 years until we will be able to listen to this song on an album.
Or maybe within a few months.
around July of this year!
April the first.
you're 56 years off lmao
Well lemme tell ya
WOW. I'm speechless. This is like nothing Jari has done before. Atmospheric black metal meets folk meets Jari Mäenpää.
Look for the band: Arthemesia
Sergi Arilla Yeah I am aware of Arthemesia, but thanks!
No problem :))
I call it Power Black Metal :)
It's so unfair. U.S. Paganfest was canceled this year when Wintersun was headlining AND they played a new song. What I'd give to live in Europe. :(
I can see now why Jari keeps saying that his new stuff will be on a whole new level. I couldn't really believe it until just now... please forgive me great lord Jari Mäenpää for ever questioning you. @Caro Ute Danke fürs Hochladen! ;)
xD
Merci *freu*
I just listened to the new album of Nightwish and it made me realize how fucking good Wintersun is. The Nightwish album had no effect on me at all, even though I've been waiting forward to it. Major letdown, but this song is fucking special. The crowdfunding needs to succeed!!
Kimi Jokinen Oh really? I don't have my copy yet so I haven't listened to it, not even the single Elan. Only the bonus track Sagan. Well, maybe you could give it couple more spins and see if you like it more?I agree when it comes to Wintersun though. Everytime you think you've heard it all Jari comes up with stuff that blows you away again. That guy is so talented it's a joke.
Kimi Jokinen Jari ruined us for other bands :D
Winterfun I love Nightwish, and love their new album, and seeing them live was amazing. They are different than Wintersun, not as dark, not so much like the cold North woods and spirits of the long nights, but they are beautiful and Tuomas is brilliant. Still , I feel a mystical , haunting, eerie and soul wrenching force from Wintersun that nobody else can evoke. Nightwish is refined, sophisticated and grand , Ensiferum is raw Northern power , Wintersun is the Aurora under the Milky Way with all the impersonal lonliness of the infinite starry skies and all the fullness of ancient spirits among the spruces of the boreal forest of my Northern ancestors.
This song brings tears to my eyes, that oriental folk middle part is pure magic as well as the riff that follows. And the way that melody is intertwined with vocals is simply outstanding. I really hope we will hear Time II and all the other ideas Jari has in his mind someday because there is no better thing I heard in music, ever.
I.Just.Can't.Fucking.Stop.Listening.To.It.... Need more. Thanks for the upload !
I listen this song x times every day....supernatural ~
Thank you :)
Caro Ute I spent the last two days ONLY listening to Forest. This is sick. And it's live footage quality. Wintersun is pure magic.
Kanchana Magala
Oh wow - you are a hardcorefan. You are right, Wintersun is magic. I love the Music ♥
Hello there almost 9 years later. This song is still kickass.
We're also finally getting "Time 2" this year.
Once he launches the crowdfunding project, everyone must donate everything they have. Get this man a studio.
I have no money but I'm willing to give a part of my soul to the crowdfund.it's gonna be worth it
Ahahaha this aged well
This is what music is supposed to do inspire strength and say I am not alone in this universe.
HYPE for the forest seasons album!
The hype is real!
Indeed!
This band needs some fucking support ! Thats a fucking sin that those guys have financial problems , fuck this shit
I feel your pain, =[[[ if i had i would with pleasure give to them. When you see the s*** music that has been realised and supported by media and fans.... Thats just ao unfair =[[[[
+Maria Mã. so unfair with them and with us, who love them!!!
+shtex metallica I'm pretty sure he's just being a Dbag and demanding a personal studio or else he refuses to finish time 2. Hopefully he is using the studio time they are willing to pay for to release SOMEthing. But he can't really give an good reason for needing a personal studio so ... feels crybabyish
+VeN Even if that's true they deserve their own studio too.
+VeN I don't want Jari to release SOMEthing. I want him to release the thing HE wants to release. And yes. He SHOULD have his own personal 10 studios if he so desires! This man is not a crybaby. He's a freakin perfectionist. The real question here is...what can we do...
This song is beyond my comprehension. I´m pretty sure I´ll cry listening to Time II and other incoming albuns.
If this is Summer I can imagine how dark Winter (Loneliness) or Autumn (Eternal Darkness) will be.
Djimmy Trovy Loneliness isn't really dark, but more sorrowful and beautiful. Eternal Darkness is dark AF
Amazing, love the atmosphere from this song. Real oppressive and beautiful. Thx for the upload
I thank you for your good opinion :)
This was beyond awesome listening to it live! I don't think half the crowd understood how special that was!
After listening to this, I've come to the conclusion that Jari should compose scores for movies!
+WinterMadness05 Interesting idea , I think that no one has ever proposed :)
+WinterMadness05 That would be the longest time for a film to be re;ashed lol, but it would be freaking epic
+Lautaro Lino He could've done the soundtrack for Boyhood. In the 12 years they were filming I'm sure he would've managed to record maybe 1 or 2 songs.
+cryoboy fucking gold
Holy...shit... There's a new reason to live. I couldn't even believe this song with good quality. Jari never ceases to amaze me. His voice sounds godly, That is what Valhalla sounds like.
I saw this yesterday at saarbrucken, I confirm that this music is epic and beyond limits. Something that never happens to me is to enjoy complete new songs live, because I dont know them, so I always enjoy more the songs that I already know. WELL, FOREST WAS DIFFERENT, I can say that I enjoyed the same or even more ...
Btw here is the "Forest" name coming from? I dont remember Jari telling that the song is called "Forest".
xChaud someone posted a photo of their setlist on Wintersuns facebook page, where you can read the title "Forest" for that song...you can find it in the comments from their picture with the crowd from Ludvigsburg (this picture was posted on the 20th of March)
Jan R.
I saw this picture too. Otherwise I would not have known it in Oberhausen.
Caro Ute Ah ok, nice! :)
A precursor to an epic album to come!
Oh holy... I've JUST discovered this and now I'm wandering how could I live without it? This is so fucking perfect. No more, no less. Simply masterpiece.
Hey, everyone! is there anybody who would like to buy my soul? because I will sell it for an opportunity to hear it live.
HOLY SHIT! JUST BUILD THEM THE STUDIO THAT THEY DESERVE. AND YES, INCLUDING THE FUCKING SAUNA!
That's right!
Maybe this song will be on the new album that will be released in 2017? It was stated before that this song will not be on Time II, so it will likely be on the new album
I hope so! I cannot wait for more announcements about IT with a little bit more details. Although it has that familiar "TIME feeling", I would really love it on this new album.
Guys, have you noticed how fast things are going now? New guitarist, new album, new update about TIME II... 2017 will be a Wintersun year, definitely! :D
Guys, the title of the new album revealed! Forest studio version confirmed. HYPE! :D
YES! YES! AND YES!
The upcoming album is called "The Forest Seasons". I think there is a good chance this might be on it..!
"good chance" :D
it is...
just a big thanks to the uploader!
not the best quality but well you still get the idea.... I was there in ludwigsburg. killer!
Outstanding song !!! Vocal lines seem to be amazing, can't wait to hear that on a studio version
Hell yeah! Looking forward to 2030!! Woohoo!!
Kimi Jokinen The hardest thing to accept... will we survive it ? ...
Al Thor This I have also asked my self :D
Al Thor The vocals ARE amazing.
Kimble Nice joke
I'm there claping my hands with a watch in the left hand at 5:59
=D
THE FOREST SEASONS ♥ WINTERSUN'S 3RD FULL LENGTH ALBUM ♥
I belive you should rename it to "The Forest That Weeps (Summer)" soon, check new Wintersun facebook update.
When I read it I wanted to wait until the album is released, but if so many people want the change, I dare it :)
Only 4 songs and call it an album. That's pathePic!
Total running time: 53:20 This is enough for an album and only the running time counts ;)
Concept album about 4 seasons. That's amazing!
You guys need live keyboard player, definitely!
7:29 Hail the greatest nose in all of metal!
Seriously though, it's hard to make some of it out, but this is amazing. About fucking...time!
Yari, one of the greatest composers of this era.
Holy FUKING SHITTTTT!!!!
Sounds amazing!
i dont know how many times i've said this but: i can't wait for time 2 ! this song is just great, as any wintersun song :)
7:05 You can clearly see how Jari loves what he does :)
This is as if a black hole opened and showed us epic stuff from the future. Hope to see the day this gets released..
Did you die?
@@Patralgan Yep, they must've died.
RIP
Still alive fellas, hopefully will make it to Time 2.
Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
with pleasure - thank you :)
Fuck me this is powerful! Jari once again proves he is a masterful song writer
Can't wait for the crowd funding to start so we get Time II out and Jari can continue working with this awesomeness!
Jussi Tiihonen Indeed! His music is pure gold.... just think of all the gold inside Jari's head, waiting to get out and give us multiple orgasms. I'm actually saving money already to throw it at them.
Winterfun I know, I can't get the ending out of my head
The night falls upon
The Forest and waves
Father of shadows
That forever sleeps...
+Jussi Tiihonen
The night falls upon
The Forest that Weeps
Father of shadows
That forever sleeps...
it has started, or something like that
ok it has started today.. its 6pm and they already have 144 085€ of the 150 000€ fixed goal
Da fcking Forest That Weeps haha !!!! I'm getting crazy over that 3rd album ! :D ♥
Thank you for uploading this! :)
Wintersun-Fans are so pleasant, thx :)
Caro Ute
Ofc we are ;)
I really hope that they play this song in Frankfurt as well.
*****
:DD
sure! ^^ - viel Spaß wünsche ich :))
Support wintersun in their new crowdfunding campaign and let's reach the stars together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok that was cheesy but support them!
Let`s do it *yeah*
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this :D \m/
i cant wait to hear this in studio version :)
So am I - the sound of the video is terrible!
2:03 Wintersun meets black metal
2:50 Wintersun meets Ensiferum
7:02 Wintersun meets Rammstein :D
Holy shit this song is amazing!!
I hope Wintersun meets Humanity's Last Breath someday :-D
Patralgan Jari has actually said he has some "djenty" stuff written, if I remember correctly.
Kimi Jokinen God I hope not!
The Air Loom "Just wrote Killer Riff 2, it´s even better! Very melodic yet dark and heavy. Using a drop Bb tuning for this one. Has a cool odd time signature on top of 4/4, so a bit "djenty". Now you´ll just have to wait to 2033 until I can record a new album." This is from his facebook last year. And I remember he said something about some space themed material that is also a bit djenty. I don't like djent myself but I'm sure I will like pretty much anything Jari will write.
Djent is awesome
omg that end part
MY INTERPRETATION FOR THE LYRICS:
Verse 1: I am the mist in the morning, I am moss in the ground.
You are the light cast through the storm and the words in the dirt.
I am the branches reaching the sky, you are the storm of ????
Chorus: In the dark rain a grey/great montain sea, sets for the winter in howling wind. Winds of past in lonely trees. Under the sky, under withered trees.
The night falls upon forest that weeps and the father of shadows forever sleeps.
Verse2: I saw the lakes that shiver, I heard the dragging of large rivers.
You are the voice that carries through the land, and the strenght of my ancestors
as I walk through the land of dead, you are the fire that burns forever!
Chorus: In the dark rain a grey/great montain sea, sets for the winter in howling wind. Winds of past in lonely trees. Under the sky, under withered trees.
-instrumental thing
Chorus: In the dark rain a grey/great montain sea, sets for the winter (sons of the winter?) in howling wind. Winds of past in lonely trees. Under the sky, under withered trees.
-The night falls upon forest that weeps and the father of shadows there forever sleeps.
kinderi92 Thank you very much :)
Caro Ute No problem :)

Those are the confirmed lyrics. You were pretty close!
Beat me to commenting it Jack haha
uh jemand ,der die videos hat :D war schon mega geil !
8:25 I'm quite sure Teemu goes wrong after seeing several times other videos of this song :D
Wasn`t I the first one who filmed this song? If he made an mistake just because the song was so new ;)
its hard to tell by the quality but i get a moonsorrow feel from the first 6 minutes of the song
The new album is going to be killer, good preview
I think this one will be a part of some project to be released before Time II. Jari has been posting many forest-related fragments of some artworks and pics from record sessions (as we know all time II songs have been already recorded). It's propably gonna be something to help to raise the funds for finishing Time II.
yeah i think so too
Check out Wintersuns Facebook. They confirmed a new album. I hope theres Forest on it.
and way of the fire, you know, to burn the forest
The new album is called The Forest Seasons!!
There you go! Good call.
5:30 and ahead.
Seriously, this is so good.
Aside from the intro background orchestrals (goosebumps all over the place when I heard this live), that's indeed the best part of the track.
You can definitely hear Summoning's influence on Jari in this song.
now you know what to expect at the paganfest shows... prepare your best cameras and bring us even better quality of this and the way of the fire...
If you use a better cam, the security will confiscate it. I use only a little cam and so it is no problem most of the time.
Caro Ute really... didn't know that... how unfortunate... and they determine the quality of camera by size or what? cause there are some powerful smaller cameras too...
SylarSilent
Officially, you may not filming! If the security people are nice , you may use small cams which are not powerful. Better cameras with directional microphone will never admitted. Otherwise I would have a professional equipement ;)
Caro Ute You can get pretty good results with even a phone camera if you are in the right place (the closer to the mixing desk the better) and the sound is overall good at the venue. I hope SOOO MUCH that many people will film this all over so we get a good sense what's going on in the song. And by the way huge thanks to you for this upload! :)
Ilkka Pättikangas
No, I can not use a phone camera. I have problems with my hands (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). It is not easy to film with the cam, impossible with smartphones (for me). I do this "Job" since years. I know where the best place is, but I am not tall ;) and so I must take what I get ^^ The sound in Geiselwind (Wintersun 2012) is very good! This time nothing was good :-/
5:30 and onwards can make a man cry. If this song and The Way of the Fire is on The Forest Seasons I will buy it. Twice.
TheWildHealer tracklist for forest seasons is
1. Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring) 14:40
Part I The Dark Slumber
Part II The Awakening
2. The Forest That Weeps (Summer) 12:18
3. Eternal Darkness (Autumn) 14:08
Part I Haunting Darkness
Part II The Call of the Dark Dream
Part III Beyond the Infinite Universe
Part IV Death
4. Loneliness (Winter) 12:54
the way of the fire is on time 2
Time II, it's coming, D-35... 😎
... , 18, ...
This sounds like Wintersun's heading back to its roots in their debut album. But I really hope there's as much orchestra as there were in in Time I. That was what made that album for me. If there were any orchestrations in this song, I could barely hear them
MisterMcWilli Might be that the song isn't finished yet, could also just be the video quality. A small camera simply cannot catch all the details. I'm pretty sure we will also notice a big difference in the studio version of The Way of the Fire even though the latest recordings have been very good already. The final version will sound different for sure, including hundreds of vocal backing tracks and more orchestrations. ;)
if i could have this performance in a really good quality audio like professional grade, i would give anything. this was everything i love about metal and Wintersun
You are not allowed to film with professional equipment during a concert - at least not without official approval. That is unfortunately the case -.-
This is a different kind of Wintersun, it has a more "earth" and "nature" feeling to it, like black-metal meets folk, whereas Time album(s) is/are more of an epic and oriental-style. I can't wait for The Forest Seasons!
wintersun forevah
Good name for a drummer. hack in and.
I am the mist in the morning
I am the moss in the ground
You are the light that cuts through the stone
I am the worms in the dirt
I am the branches reaching the sky
You are the source, the orchestrator of life
Second song we've heard that could be new material for Time II. And both have not disappointed in terms of complexity/quality. Here we go!
+jagerx This won't be on Time II, Jukka confirmed this to me.
+jagerx Time II wont have "forest" on it. The songlist for time II will be
01. Fields of Snow (Instrumental)
02. The Way of The Fire
03. One With the Shadows
04. Ominous Clouds (Instrumental)
05. Storm
06. Silver Leaves (the song jari's most proud of)
+In Jari We Trust how you know that?
because jari told us a year ago about the songlist for time2.
mayhaps, forest will be released before time 2 tho as a Forest EP/Single to raise money for the time2 production.
nice
"The Forest That Weeps" ;)
Mysterium tremendum et fascinans.
I am the mist in the morning
I am the moss in the ground
You are the light that cuts through the stone
I am the worms in the dirt
I am the branches reaching the sky
You are the source, the orchestrator of life
In the dark rain the grey mountains sing
A sad song of winter and the howling wind
Visions of the past in the haunting dreams
Under the dead sky, under the withered trees
The night falls upon the forest that weeps
Father of shadows that forever sleeps
I saw the Jakes that shimmer
I heard the clanging of the wild rivers
You are the voice that carries throughout the land
I felt the strength of my ancestors
As I walked through the land of the dead
You are the fire that burns forever
In the dark rain the gray mountains sing
A sad song of winter and the howling wind
Visions of the past in the haunting dreams
Under the dead sky, under the withered trees
The night falls upon the forest that weeps
Father of shadows that forever sleeps
me muero
The forest that weeps? (summer) :D
7:02 I am sure that this is what is played in one of halls of Valhalla.
6:50 onwards sounds a lot like Ensiferum
Gstrangeman96 Jari is an ex-Ensiferum member after all :P
Aaaah I so fuckin want a new album, whether its Time II or some else
+Lorelai Hale with the artwork posted from wintersun on facebook im pretty sure that he gonna release the album or EP with the song forest on.
I really really love Jari's vocals here, especially the growling. Brilliant song, but doesn't beat The Way Of The Fire (if that is even possible) :)
You should put a link to the crowdfunding campaign pinned in the comments.
One week ago Adam Credit did it - I think all the fans know the crowdfunding link....but ok, I will do it ;)
gorgeous (but you need to listen with headphones with lots of bass)
Sounds very black metallish
I want to hear a studio version of this god damned! Jari PLS get a deal with Nuclear Blast
YEAH, a studio version would be much better. The sound of the video is terrible!
in March there will be a studio version :)
As far as I know they haven´t revealed the release date yet?
tomorrow at 1pm (central european time zone) they will announce it.
Confirmed lyrics as of today:
I am the mist in the morning, I am the moss in the ground
You are the light that cuts through the stone
I am the worms in the dirt, I am the branches reaching the sky
You are the source, the orchestrator of life!

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I thought t was released in 2017?
That's correct - but the song was written earlier and Wintersun played it live in 2015 for the first time :)
So they never announced the song title until the year it was released. That must have confused their fans
In 2015 the song called only "forest" (setlist Pagenfest tour). Maybe it was the unofficially title of the song. It is no problem for me...I´m not confused.
Guys official lyrics have been announced facebook.com/wintersun/photos/a.10151063141622402.457619.8120427401/10155048117022402/?type=3&theater
Fucking amazing !!! But what is this ? New song or improvisation ?
from time 2.... Do you really think they would do improvisation with all these computer made orchestras and 11 minute lenght?
Jarmake I'm pretty sure it's not from Time 2 but from an album that will come after that. Trust me.
Jarmake The track listing for time II is:
1. Fields of snow
2. The way of the fire
3. One with the Shadows
4. Ominous Clouds
5. Storm
6. Silver Leaves
Jarmake Why not? Jari could do such a thing ))
Ilkka Pättikangas yep ) Time II - 2016 may be released, album with this song - 2025 ) cool.
Funny now that this song is out, a lot of people bitch about it. Is it because of the eventual Crowdfunding campaign? Because they had to wait 2 years since this video and expected the orchestration to have been improved over the time? Because they were expecting the exact same musical style as in Time? Or is it just trendy to hate even un-hatable things now?
Who hates this song? Are you sure? Ok, we had to wait very long - but I still love "Forest" :)
Is this real llife ? New Wintersun song ? I remember the first time Way of the Fire found it's way online through live recordings, I was fucking happy to hear it. Same for this. Shame about the muffled sound.
In Germany you can not film with good cameras officially . In addition, the video could be blocked if it would be too good. Just be glad to be able to hear the song already ;)
Caro Ute Don't worry, I'm enjoying it plenty ! Thanks for uploading and filming
Ok - Thx :) I had already received a criticism that the video is too bad . Therefore, I say again why I can not use a professional camera. I wish I could -.-
Anyone has an idea of what the lyrics could be?

Wow alright then, i think that are the correct lyrics. What could the song mean?
Tim Dijkstra In this community are capable people . They will make suggestions :)
Tim Dijkstra I'm not entirely sure, but I think that Jari is going a bit towards pagan metal here. He has stated that he likes Moonsorrow and they have lots of nature related lyrics. The Finnish pagan religion before christianity involved lots of spiritualism towards forests.
Jussi Tiihonen I like moonsorrow 2
well I do speak english as a second language, but there are some parts that i just dont understand due to the quality.
can someone try and write the lyrics down?
Cydonian Sky Artwork kinderi92 posted the lyrics ;)
Caro Ute i read those and there are parts that i think are different, and parts where we both dont really understand things :P
I hear a lot of Summoning's influence on Jari coming out in this song. Not that there's anything that :)
Yes, yes, yeah!!!!! This sounds so much Summoning Atmospheric B. Metal
It's Photoshopped guys...
what happened to kai
I can see the techno inffluence.
I find myself greatly preferring this over the album version. The production on that album did not work well for this song in my opinion.
Did all of Kai's hair migrate to his beard? Who is that drumming?
Dan Carlin Timo Häkkinen. Kai is helping out Nightwish right now because their drummer Jukka is struggling with Insomnia. When those guys have finished their upcoming tour Kai should return to Wintersun.
why can they do these orchestral backgrounds for their live show but no album??
dont you need a studio for both?
floriL3636 No, Jari does it on his computer. You don't need a studio for that. You do need one if you want to record guitars and all that.
Jari sure is a fickle god. still a god though. I remember when the way of the fire was played live and that never found its way to an album hah.
As you surely know, this song is on the new album - fortunately :)
Wish the guitars were more prominent , you guys are guitar gods!!! Don’t muffle that sound if it’s the sound guys fault he should be punished
new drummer?
This album has great potential, but beware over hyping it. Or you will likely get disappointed.
Teemu Mäntysaari = KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN
Great!!! But I think that 7:00 - 8:50 is so dry for band like Wintersun. That solo should be just more wintersuny... peace just my oppinion :))
it is ok :) all the fans can share their opinion as long as they say it friendly ;)
Anton Gasparik I don't think that's a solo, the lead guitar simply continues that folky melody. Also if it really was a solo, Jari himself would probably play that instead of Teemu. ;)
Winterfun Yeah probably yes, but that means there is missing some solo :))
