My grandma passed today and this song made my think of being in my grandfather's shoes who is now left alone, it really let those tears started flowing
This whole album is food for the soul. Whenever I feel depressed I listen to it. I get a feeling that someone understands.. makes me feel better. Heals the soul...
This is the sequel to "weighed down with sorrow" that we never knew we needed. Stunning, as always. EDIT: I misspelled "weighed" as "weighted" - thanks for the correction!
I lost my father 5 months ago and every time i listen to this song i cry and remember him ! So emotional song ! Love you guys . Greetings frome Greece !
After 4 years, I watch this video again but have totally different feelings. My grandpa and grandma passed away from Alzheimer's in the last 2 years. The empty eyes remind me of my last moments with them. Only disillusion is left.
After a few days of listening, it seems that Insomnium has created somekind of a Carelian masterpiece. Where Amorphis and others have succesfully kept our Kalevala alive and turned the old storys and poems into music, Insomnium has now turned up with an epic that - at least to me - describes North Carelia like nothing before. The sadness, the melodies, riffs like our bedrock, agony and misery all combined with a glimpse of joy and mountainfull of resilience. Added with our national scenery from Ukko - Koli and some references to old Sentenced, I felt like home immediately. Like my wife said to me after the first listening; " One can see Finnish man really liking a song when he listens to song quietly with a small smile in his face and eventually starts to nod his head with the rythm of music."
And, even though the lyrics can be difficult to understand they still have more meaning and thought than a vast majority of the shit played on the radio that has so-called "audible" vocals.
Sound of the waves Song of the woeful wind Beauty of yearning The tune of my heart For once there was a time When I sat by your side And right before our eyes The world was open wide Days of youth Not long since gone Never return To return again But our .....

So they are Finnish. Didn't know Finland had so many good artists. Poets of the Fall is another great artist from that country. I am really starting to feel like Finnish bands should try and go mainstream.
@@santoshmitra3934 There's lots. Wintersun, Children of Bodom, Norther, Mors Principium Est, Kalmah etc. And from Sweden you should try at least Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and At the Gates
I have been listening this song for about like five years but today im writing these words..This is not a song but a magic ..I have so many memories with this song and it will be remain forever till the rest of my life..I'm m progressing alot than before ..i have my own house now and and i m living happily with my wife,mom and daughter.. i live in Nepal .. I love Insomnium..
Just not only the song is testimony of landscape of Finnish soul on what its alike. But the lake behind of the band is very special to me, its the lake that my grandparents raised me so many decades ago. It has a special place in my heart always, so many good memories. The song just binds it all together. So touching.
Another Fun fact, 80% of Finland's land area is forest, and 10% lakes, rivers and ponds. Finns don't really get lost in a forest, Finns live in a forest.
@@wardeni4806 yet another fun fact about Finns: the Finns don't just live in a forest, but they love their forest, lakes, rivers and ponds, take good care of them, sing songs, write books and make films about them. In other words, very peaceful, nature-loving people 😊 I love them! ❤
this song reminds us that our time here is short and harsh, to be in this world is hard, everyone has had battles and scars echoing a hard life (perfect life doesn’t exist it’s a illusion) and we have to make the best of it: we have to let yourselves truly love and be loved! We humans are not perfect and we will always disappoint someone someday, but we have to manage how to support each other with care, love, patient, grace, affection, mercy, empathy, strength, compassion, sympathy, hope and understanding how it is to be in the other person’s condition 🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜 sending love to you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well said and i totally agree. I have been telling people that the most important thing in life is to enjoy life to the fullest. Take care of your self, friends and family. Do the things that you want to do in life. Instead of just talking about it for years and get nothing done. Life is hard, but still people keep moving forward.
This song is dedicated to the band Sentenced. The opening was taken from the song “everything is nothing to me” It’s crazy how influential and yet unrecognized sentenced was. Glad to see other brands keeping the northern most killers alive.
Kordell, thank you so much. I never knew that. I like Sentenced so much, and i really love Insomnium, but i never understand that connection. Now for me the circle is closed. Hail to the real music from the north.
Sentenced was a great, influential band and M.T was a great guitarist and a nice person, knew all of them back in the 90´s when i was still an active musician in bands.
Sentenced introduced me to Melodic death metal, and to an important part of metal. Before that I used to listen to mainstreet "metal" (ACDC, Metallica ... )
As a die hard Insomnium fan, i was beside myself when this album dropped. This was the first song i heard and kill me for saying, I wasnt captured as i was by their older stuff. But something kept drawing me back, becoming my go to song to cheers me up in time.. I didnt know why. Today after listening to it for the 100th odd time i actually read the lyrics(I can make out some but i never focus on it too hard as the music is just too captivating).. and after reading it realized it portrays the last two years of my life as 2 years ago i lost the love of my life. She had bigger dreams and i had to stay behind, feeling dread and sadness develop to the likes of which i never thought possible.. We loved each other, but i always ended up disappointing her one way or the other.. Two years on and i still smell her hair and see her when i wake up.. I feel i have indeed become an old man with a heart like a grave.. And my soul blackened with time.. And i sometimes wonder if she remembers the times before it all went to shit.. i wonder
She might as well remember. But it doesn't matter as the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You're a beautiful soul and I believe you will find the person which would stand beside you instead of getting dissappointed by you. Just know that you need to rely only on yourself and you are enough! Farewell my friend, stay strong and keep rocking!!
4 years later and I feel again.. I found someone two weeks ago.. and we have been inseperable since. I still think about the other girl sometimes but it doesn't hurt anymore.. Life goes on ive learnt.. You just have to keep moving. Thank you everybody for the kind words.
This is the anniversary of my Brother V’s death. I was in bed crying when the notification for this came. Already played this video twice. No longer feeling so alone. It’s so beautiful. Music heals!
Thank you so much for showing love. I’ve had a really rough day (an amazing associate that’s been my emotional rock - got transferred.. and the seasonal change always reminds me of the loss of my big brother. It feels wrong to grow older than my eldest sibling, he was my protector (similar to my associate; a source of strength and security) The music this morning was greatly needed. It made me feel something other than the immense loss I’ve suffered; both past and present. Thank you for your warmth. even from behind the screen it reaches. ❤️
I usually don’t leave any comment but this time I need to because this song gives me a goosebump with its arrangement and melody. It’s beautifully done 😁👍🏾
4:50 onwards makes the emotions (tears) flow for me every time I listen to it.. This is my favorite Insomnium track because of that, but I can't listen to it that often, because I don't like to cry when I listen to music.
My friend introduced me to this band and I came across this song. One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I've listened to it about 40 times over the last 3 days.
These came to my mind while I was listening to this masterpiece... Our poor hearts... Yearn and cries for love... Till it broken and shatters.. We have to watch our beloved gone.. And when our times comes to die be gone.. Our lovers have to watch and cry..
I remember we where in pandemic times when this came out along with darker thoughts and fall from grace from paradise lost, I was going through so much pain, emotional pain and I was listening those 3 songs non stop over and over and here I am after this years I endure and now I'm going to insomnium's gig this December in Argentina,thank you very much guys,you and a few people saved me.
These guys reached a new plane of metal right before we were all forced to isolate for COVID. This album played through my mind constantly during this past year!
Sound of the waves Song of the woeful wind Beauty of yearning The tune of my heart For once there was a time When I sat by your side And right before our eyes The world was open wide Days of youth Not long since gone Never return To return again But a long slow desert left anymore The waning years of Heartache and regrets And yet the wind sing They sing the fairest tune I hear the waves sigh They sigh out from pain And since you set out To reach for your hopes and dreams I'll stay here helpless and in sight For these wounded wings I never left this barren soil Where all my wishes slowly fade away Days of youth Not long since gone Never return To return again But a long slow desert left anymore The waning years of Heartache and regrets Do you still remember?

The build up from 4:00 to the climax followed by the solo is literally the most fucking perfect melodic death metal I’ve had the pleasure of hearing, it just is utterly...epic and emotional
Insomnium always takes me on a journey to a magical land that I know exists, but can't find unless I hear their perfect melodies. Each moment tells a story within a story...
@@berlinmetal The only similarity that I could find between these two songs is their intros. Insomnium could've though of the melody themselves or they might have taken inspiration from Sentenced. Nonetheless, it's only a few seconds after which the songs go in entirely different directions. I'd hardly call that stealing, although you're allowed to consider it scummy. I think it's rather clear that this isn't a ripoff of "Aika kultaa muistot"...
The pandemic has made me realize even more how much music means to me. It's gotten me through a lot of long days when I needed it most (especially metal like this).
Just spent few days at the filming location. It's been throughout the history an inspirational place from Finnish artists. It really captures the national theme and offers you that solitude tone.
So good. Been binging on INSOMNIUM ever since I (happily) accidentally clicked on their last vid. Wish I had discovered them sooner... but hey, better late than never!
It depends how you measure it. If you comparise it with amount of listeners compared to other bands, it might be. But if you ask how much Insomnium listeners like Insomnium, I assume they are not :) It's important that you like this, no matter if your neighbour does not.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that. They are pretty much the best band on the planet and deserve infinite views, but in their own field they’ve done pretty damn good
The song started playing and I started crying ideky. I just remembered something personal. My friend laughed and said 'I understand, their music is too good' and I smiled.
Will you live? Will I die? Who will go first? And the way we remain asunder as if we know we will be alive tomorrow... This is what hurts the most... THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE INSOMNIUM
04:34 goosebumps I loved them the first time I heard them back in 2009 when I was a young kid, high school times, now I'm married have kids and yet their music hit me up like first time.
New fan from New Zealand, massive sentenced vibes on this one - and that’s a compliment. Jani brought me to this band with valediction and while I can definitely hear Aika Multaa Muistot (Everything Is Nothing) influences, it’s new, fresh and powerful. Love this. Thanks for bringing back fond memories of a great band, look forward to the album! It’s gonna be killer!
After some thinking, I come up with the theory: The video shows the grief after the man's wife died. He doesn't want to live without her, so he decides to commit not living himself. The bottle he is holding may be some kind of a poison that he drinks afterwards. He takes his wife's body to the lake as maybe that was some of his promise to her, that when she dies he will put her body in the lake. But before he does that, he drinks the poison and lets the water take him too. He is also seen crafting the cross which probably was for his daughter and his grandson, so that when the couple dies, the children should put the cross in memory of them (as the grandson may not have enough skills to create such thing). The kid was running frantically because maybe the grandpa wrote their both names on the cross and not only his wife's. He is also writing something in the journal, maybe that was his farewell letter.
So many bands in this genre are unable to break free from their own shadow, but insomnium keeps improving on themselves. Thank you for continuing to release music.
I like metal from many countries and genres, but there is something specially melancholic about Finnish bands like Insomnium or Swallow the Sun that makes Melodic Metal from Finland my favorite.
Most likely it will continue, improving is mostly impossible, but carrying the torch will mostly continue. In Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Ukraine, and rest if good lands.

Studying is IMPORTANT.
I am mostly joking.
This is the sequel to "weighed down with sorrow" that we never knew we needed. Stunning, as always.
EDIT: I misspelled "weighed" as "weighted" - thanks for the correction!
Bro, couldn't like this enough if I tried
Thankfully it is the sequel because I believed for a second they were just recycling melodies. Great as always then
I thought the same, man. "One for sorrow" vibes are strong with this one.
This band fills such a vast space of the Music Industry. Whether they fought for it or not, they just do. Insomnium for life \m/
Facts matter.

I'm unfamiliar with the Kalevala reference. Is it a Finnish legendarium?
Finnish national epic, yeah.
I never was Sentenced biggest fan, but you peaked my curiosity - what are the sentenced references?
@@magicrat74 Frozen and the cold white light from Sentenced are the albums you need my friend, Masterpieces of a time when UA-cam wasn't as big
Play this song to the people who always say that metal is just a noise
And, even though the lyrics can be difficult to understand they still have more meaning and thought than a vast majority of the shit played on the radio that has so-called "audible" vocals.
I have a need to show all these new videos to my parents. See if they can see and hear the beauty in it.
I'd personally play the full Winter's Gate album, if I were to introduce them to Insomnium
It's arttt

Sound of the waves
Song of the woeful wind
Beauty of yearning
The tune of my heart
For once there was a time
When I sat by your side
And right before our eyes
The world was open wide
Days of youth
Not long since gone
Never return
To return again
But our .....
The waning years of
Heartache and regret
And I hear the wind sing
They sing the fairest tune
And hear the waves sigh
They sigh out from pain
And since you set out
To reach for your hopes and dreams
I'll stay here helpless and in sight?
For these wounded wings
I never left this barren soil
Where all my wishes slowly fade away
Do you still remember
Would you still believe
That this blackened soul of mine
Was once untarnished
Years of disappointment
and disillusion
All I see in the mirror now
Is an old man with heart like a grave

It feels wrong to grow older than my eldest sibling, he was my protector (similar to my associate; a source of strength and security) The music this morning was greatly needed. It made me feel something other than the immense loss I’ve suffered; both past and present. Thank you for your warmth. even from behind the screen it reaches. ❤️
I usually don’t leave any comment but this time I need to because this song gives me a goosebump with its arrangement and melody. It’s beautifully done 😁👍🏾
4:50 onwards makes the emotions (tears) flow for me every time I listen to it..
This is my favorite Insomnium track because of that, but I can't listen to it that often, because I don't like to cry when I listen to music.
How can you guys make me head bang and break my heart simultaneously?
Just how is it possible?
Thanks for this ❤️
Well put, and agreed!
Uhm, it's called Natural Minor scale.
Uhm, it's called a Rhetorical Question.
You nailed it bro!
Moved to Finland about ten years ago and listened to Insomnium for the first time, been a happy man since then!
Lucky you! 😀
If only I had the courage to learn Finnish and leave behind my birthplace and move there...
@@SrMagmagedon You can do it :3
@@oo390 Thanks for your words!
Happy? What is that?
My friend introduced me to this band and I came across this song. One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I've listened to it about 40 times over the last 3 days.
These came to my mind while I was listening to this masterpiece...
Our poor hearts...
Yearn and cries for love...
Till it broken and shatters..
We have to watch our beloved gone..
And when our times comes to die be gone..
Our lovers have to watch and cry..
I remember we where in pandemic times when this came out along with darker thoughts and fall from grace from paradise lost, I was going through so much pain, emotional pain and I was listening those 3 songs non stop over and over and here I am after this years I endure and now I'm going to insomnium's gig this December in Argentina,thank you very much guys,you and a few people saved me.
Thank you Insomnium for making my life more bearable ❤️
These guys reached a new plane of metal right before we were all forced to isolate for COVID. This album played through my mind constantly during this past year!
Well, first time that a music video actually made me cry. Insomnium hit right at the right spot.
Try the video for "no one there" by Sentenced. Sentenced was a big influence for Insomnium.
STOP: YOU: You who feel and listen to music (and absorb it) differently. I salute you, I too cry on metal songs ;)
@@ulfricstormcrow4072i checked out this song, theyre pretty good, now you go listen to demon hunter - on my side, and heaven dont cry ;)
Sound of the waves
Song of the woeful wind
Beauty of yearning
The tune of my heart
For once there was a time
When I sat by your side
And right before our eyes
The world was open wide
Days of youth
Not long since gone
Never return
To return again
But a long slow desert left anymore
The waning years of
Heartache and regrets
And yet the wind sing
They sing the fairest tune
I hear the waves sigh
They sigh out from pain
And since you set out
To reach for your hopes and dreams
I'll stay here helpless and in sight
For these wounded wings
I never left this barren soil
Where all my wishes slowly fade away
Days of youth
Not long since gone
Never return
To return again
But a long slow desert left anymore
The waning years of
Heartache and regrets
Do you still remember?
Would you still believe
That this blackened soul of mine
Was once untarnished?
Years of disappointment
and disillusion
All I see in the mirror now
Is an old man with heart like a grave
Do you still remember?
Would you still believe
That this blackened soul of mine
Was once untarnished?
The build up from 4:00 to the climax followed by the solo is literally the most fucking perfect melodic death metal I’ve had the pleasure of hearing, it just is utterly...epic and emotional
I could not agree more
Kings of Melodeath... Brazil loves you, Insomnium!
you'd better try to save Amazon forest
Gorlung hahahahahaahahhahahaahahhaahhahaahhaahhahhahaha um Brazilian but that was funny
Such emotion. I'll admit I shed a few tears during Markus' solo. Splendid filming in my favorite place in the world.
So much sorrow, so much pain... It touched my heart. Beautiful song.
Metal is this dark secret you carry in your soul, and cherish without letting anyone know about it to keep its beauty for yourself.
Keep it mostly secret, keep it safe.
And may it be so.
When you play amidst the mountain with no amplifiers, but your music is so freakin´ epic it still manages to sound across the entire forest...
All the forest animals gather to listen.
It's on that level.
Insomnium always takes me on a journey to a magical land that I know exists, but can't find unless I hear their perfect melodies. Each moment tells a story within a story...
With 2019 being the year of Metal, Heart Like A Grave is undoubtedly one of this year's greatest masterpieces.
Unfortunately this "masterpiece" ist stolen from aika multaa muistot by Sentenced...
@@berlinmetal The only similarity that I could find between these two songs is their intros. Insomnium could've though of the melody themselves or they might have taken inspiration from Sentenced. Nonetheless, it's only a few seconds after which the songs go in entirely different directions. I'd hardly call that stealing, although you're allowed to consider it scummy. I think it's rather clear that this isn't a ripoff of "Aika kultaa muistot"...
Nothing makes me happier than the sadness in your music. Thank you.
Very well described... I have no idea why i love the sadness in music, especially metal.
@@trumpjongun8831 It's catharsis!
Niin kaunis on hiljaisuus, sydän surusta suunniltaan.
Melody sounds like finnish classic. Proud to be Finn and love the song
This song is pure greatness. Melodic, heavy, melancholy and beautiful ! ❤️ this band!
The whole album is some real fine aging wine from a band at the peak of their powers.
And if you don't cry while listening this, then you are a bad person 😭
For me this sounds like pure Finland. 🖤
Love the new stuff Insomnium, I can never get enough of the primal growls mixed with clean vocals over heavy melody.
This is what I want to hear from Insomnium, great.🤘🏻
Music can make you smile, or cry. It can make your day. It will never let you down...
The pandemic has made me realize even more how much music means to me. It's gotten me through a lot of long days when I needed it most (especially metal like this).
Just spent few days at the filming location. It's been throughout the history an inspirational place from Finnish artists. It really captures the national theme and offers you that solitude tone.
So good. Been binging on INSOMNIUM ever since I (happily) accidentally clicked on their last vid. Wish I had discovered them sooner... but hey, better late than never!
You was the one at comments of Valediction who clicked at Insomnium by reading Insomnia ?!
Yes 😂 @Simon Evertz.
@@DreamingInTechnicolor very Cool
@@monsi6663 Lol.
I’m planning to see them live when they play the states.
This band is underrated
It depends how you measure it. If you comparise it with amount of listeners compared to other bands, it might be. But if you ask how much Insomnium listeners like Insomnium, I assume they are not :) It's important that you like this, no matter if your neighbour does not.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that. They are pretty much the best band on the planet and deserve infinite views, but in their own field they’ve done pretty damn good
I love Markus Vanhala's solos so much! They always add so much energy and emotion to the song.
The song started playing and I started crying ideky. I just remembered something personal. My friend laughed and said 'I understand, their music is too good' and I smiled.
The birth of symphonic metal is in Finland. Insomnium, Nightwish and Wintersun are the best of this genre and i think the all best frinds.
I see that Insomnium released a new song... Immediately stoped everything and start to listen!
I stopped a staff meeting at job 😊
Will you live?
Will I die?
Who will go first?
And the way we remain asunder as if we know we will be alive tomorrow...
This is what hurts the most...
THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE INSOMNIUM
04:34 goosebumps I loved them the first time I heard them back in 2009 when I was a young kid, high school times, now I'm married have kids and yet their music hit me up like first time.
Tom Woods brought me here.. couldn’t be more glad to have listened to this.
Libertarian team right there 👌
Rayane Mabrouki LibRight gang haha
Same
Same
Same
This is a masterpiece, I got goosebumps like crazy.
This is seriously the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time. The guitar work goes straight to the soul
this song should've been dedicated to people who are in their 40s
New fan from New Zealand, massive sentenced vibes on this one - and that’s a compliment. Jani brought me to this band with valediction and while I can definitely hear Aika Multaa Muistot (Everything Is Nothing) influences, it’s new, fresh and powerful. Love this. Thanks for bringing back fond memories of a great band, look forward to the album! It’s gonna be killer!
Produced by: Vesa Ranta, Aapo Lahtela/Kaira Films ... Vesa Ranta is one of the founding members of Sentenced.
@@domini1337 means absolutely nothing here
In questo inverno gli Insomnium e il mio cavaliere mi hanno sfondato la vita e il cuore
La mia nera sposa è spuntata dalla nebbia per illuminare questo inverno...grazie di esistere
I see people being confused how a "growl" can make me feel sorrowful. Little they know how much art they are missing!
Deeply missing.
Yet another captivating masterpiece by the Finnish Titans of Melodeath. Beautiful is not a powerful enough word to describe it.
Does anyone else listen to this on repeat for hours on end?
I do. This is simply a breathtaking masterpiece. I will never get tired of this song. Nor the whole album, really.
Yes, me!
sometimes.
Я слушаю
Friday the 13th cant be more lucky day!
First...payday...and now this \m/
Sascha Paet, Lacuna Coil, 69 eyes, now this?
WHAT A LUCKY DAY!!!!!
If you're into as I lay dying, they just drop a new single.
@@danielallen4650 i'll look for it 🤘
Ghost also released 2 new songs.
Literally one of the most BEAUTIFUL metal songs I've ever heard. Thank you
This song is the definition of perfection
yes
Hail to the finnish masters of Melancholy and the greatest band of all time !
God damn I felt every note on that chorus.
After some thinking, I come up with the theory: The video shows the grief after the man's wife died. He doesn't want to live without her, so he decides to commit not living himself. The bottle he is holding may be some kind of a poison that he drinks afterwards. He takes his wife's body to the lake as maybe that was some of his promise to her, that when she dies he will put her body in the lake. But before he does that, he drinks the poison and lets the water take him too. He is also seen crafting the cross which probably was for his daughter and his grandson, so that when the couple dies, the children should put the cross in memory of them (as the grandson may not have enough skills to create such thing). The kid was running frantically because maybe the grandpa wrote their both names on the cross and not only his wife's. He is also writing something in the journal, maybe that was his farewell letter.
Its a nice theory, I was wondering what the meaning of this music video is and here's your theory. Thank you for writing down your theory :)
Yer she's dead from the start,it's a glimpse of a moment,he dies with her when he takes her body to the lake,no more no less..👌
But why is she appearing several times during the film then and why does the woman he is carrying in the lake look young? I am confused
@@StanislawOstrovsky yes, i'm confused about that too.
@@StanislawOstrovsky Perhaps there was an issue with the actress, and a replacement had to be used for that scene in particular.
Just came across a part of this song on tiktok. Never heard of this band, But they have my attention. What a masterpiece❤
So many bands in this genre are unable to break free from their own shadow, but insomnium keeps improving on themselves. Thank you for continuing to release music.
I like metal from many countries and genres, but there is something specially melancholic about Finnish bands like Insomnium or Swallow the Sun that makes Melodic Metal from Finland my favorite.
Yes i can see "Sentenced" in this band. long live mika🔥🔥🔥
yes. especially this song.
intro is kinda similar to sentenced´s aika multaa muistot song. which is only a good thing.
The clip was made by Vesa Ranta.
This one is to every human who reads this. Love your country, think of your ancestors, protect the nature of your country 🌲🌿☘🍀🌱🌳

@Shovine Bojraj Thanks :)
fuck all nations.
With heart and soul my friend :)
Aight varg
You know a song is good, when it sends shivers through your whole body.
I have probably listened to this song a 100 times on youtube only, and shared the video like 50th times! I just love it!
"take me home to the one I belong."
Aika multaa muistot
another EPIC band from Finland - the list continues...
YOU MEAN endlessly?
Most likely it will continue, improving is mostly impossible, but carrying the torch will mostly continue.
In
Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Ukraine, and rest if good lands.
I like the boys because they not only make good music, but are also likeable and humble.
I love your doggie
