Lyrics: The Forest That Weeps
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 ruin 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 head 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 ruin 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
In the dark ruin 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

Exclusive Interview with Jari Mäenpää from Wintersun is now up on UA-cam.

actually the choir in this song isn't his voice. He actually gathered a ton of singers from various finnish bands and recorded them singing in lower and higher octaves to make a huge choir wall
Thanks for the info
And Heri Joensen, vocalist of Týr from Denmark. :)
Flolol Herí is from Faroes Islands
This is true fact :)
this song perfection at it finest.
and i was lucky to see wintersun and wolfheart this week
My favorite from the Forest Seasons. Most people seem to be drawn into the fast & brvtal Autumn or tearjerking Winter, but I really love the folky tunes, haunting atmosphere and those extremely groovy riffs. My only disappointment was that they didn't play this one live when I saw them couple weeks ago, cause I was ready to sing my heart out in that chorus. xD
Eager to see more of your reactions, keep up the great work! ^^
I have to agree, I love Winter but this one was absolutely amazing. A close second to Winter. This album so far is pure GREATNESS!!!!
As far as more reactions we do at least 1 a day, tomorrow will be 2. We try to cover all metal/rock spectrums the point is for my kid to learn as much as possible about this wonderful music we all love and for me to bond with him and discover bands I had no clue existed. I am an old school thrash metal guy trying to expand my horizons.
I'm with you on this. The riffs, folk, atmosphere, and that yell at the start of the second chorus.
That folk bridge makes the track the journey it is supposed to be.
It is so good
The reason I love wintersun is because I can’t find a single thing in their music that I would do instead of what they’ve already done
Same. With some bands I like either the verses or the chorus but with my fav songs by Wintersun I like both (and the intermissions too).
That middle part gave me the same folk vibe, like you are in the forest in some medieval village or something. I'm really looking forward to your reaction to Eternal Darkness. Even though completely opposite to Loneliness, it's another demonstration of Jari's musical genius. True masterpiece.
Yes!!!!! That is exactly what I felt. So far this is one of my all time favs Wintersun songs.
great video you guys :) Can't wait to see your reaction to Eternal Darkness. It's my favorite Wintersun song right now after the release of the Forest Seasons album. And oh man... when you get to the debut album... you will become born again Mäenpää-ists. It's the most amazing album ever released. Every single song on that album is a masterpiece and absolute perfection.
Actually the choir in this song is an actual choir of i think 8-10 guys. There are videos on Jari's channel of the recordings if you wanna check them out.
there were 8 people for the Sons of Winter and Stars choir, for this song he had 15 singers
I have to see this....

6:43 actually, just to correct, it is a choir consisting of multiple Nordic musicians for example Markus Toivonen from Ensiferum, Heri Joensen from Tyr and Mathias Nygård from Turisas. Epic.
You should listen to Norther - Death Unlimited, these guys did have a bit of early "good" Children of Bodom in them and even though the band veered off course and fell apart, their former frontman is on fire in Ensiferum and their band's music is pretty unique in its own right, even though a lot of Finnish MDM groups are percieved as kind of the same.
That particular song is just ferocious.
I love Wintersun. This last album is a masterpiece, it's epic. And I'm enjoying your channel guys. You should react to Land of Snow and Sorrow after the Forest Season album! Rock On!
We are planning on going back to Wintersun (2004) and then alternating with Time I
Glad you like it! This is my favourite song of this album! Brace yourself for the next one, pure black metal (in live Autumn is fantastic) See you next sunday!
Im from Finland and after watching your videos of wintersun i started to listen this band, all i can say is (perkele) this is good stuff,whoa!!! So complex and beautiful. Thankx :)
The middle part definitely is folky sounding. It has a little bit of Ensiferum vibe (the folk metal band Jari did the two first AMAZING albums with). So it's no mystery.
We will be doing some of that old Ensiferum very soon. I have heard a couple of tracks from the new album and I liked it.
The first selftitled Ensiferum Album is a absolute masterpiece in its genre, still listening to it over and over again, even years later.
I knew you would enjoy this one. If you want more details on how Jari made this song awesome with that choir watch their documentary on the making of The Forest Seasons. They have them in parts that they teased releasing weekly and they have the whole thing compiled together for a 30 or 40 minute video. Definitely worth the watch. I'm sure you know this album was crowdfunded via indie-gogo and they successfully met their goal and surpassed it with over €427,000. Idk if you can do a reaction video to that documentary and how it'll fit, but a must watch on your own time if you must
Now get ready for really grim brutality in the next wintersunday :)
another masterpiece, Wintersun music is always so unusual,, unique mixtures of different genres which is used so brilliantly
Epic song, end of story!
Suggestions for future videos: Battle Beast - Black Ninja or Wild Child(great W.A.S.P. cover & their female vocalist has voice that you need to hear).
Fairly new sub, just wanna say keep it up! I think it's pretty neat doing a father/son reaction/review
Thank you
I recommend Skeletonwitch - Bringers of Death. The video is very entertaining, you would enjoy it.
I highly recommend Cattle Decapitation Kingdom of Tyrants. Sure you'll at least appreciate the lyrics and insane vocal range. Also hoping for some more igorrr. Cheval is great and has the vocalist of Cattle Decap. Or they recently posted a concert so maybe pick a song from that (they have time stamps)
We have received several request for Cattle Decapitation so we will be looking into it soon.
Fun fact, Jari Mäenpää got tuberculosis in 97.
Makes his music and vocals even more amazing!
And he lost 25% of his lung. So its crazy that he can sing like that.
React to Turisas - Piece By Piece. All the members of Turisas were a part of the choir in this song.
head banging 1,2,3 go
The "folky stuff" you mentioned is definitely there (there are also some flutes e.g.). I loved it. And I love how they turned that melody into a badass guitar riff. ONLY thing I miss in this song is a solo (specially in the second half). Doesn't have to be anything to "virtuoso", but I feel the second half of the song becomes A LITTLE BIT monotonous (just my opinion guys). I've listened to the song about 5 times now and yes, I bought the album ;-)
autumn is very good, but is so different... this entire album is blackish, but the next is just black (not old school)
@8:22 what a blast
The folk influence probably comes from the lead singer being in Folk Metal pioneers Ensiferum before he founded Wintersun
I really dogged it. This song is really good.
Some Type O Negative?
Great song, it's awesome!! You should react to Mago De Oz La Cantata Del Diablo live Diabulus in opera. It's like 20 minutes but worth every second
edward amaya Agreed!! Best of Mago de Oz, hopefully there's a translated version since it's in Spanish :')
Totally awesome, but it's not famous, but it should be, and i haven't seen a translated version of that song.
I would love to see you two react to Devin Townsend - Deadhead (Live at the Royal Albert Hall). I think you would both really enjoy it.
We are due for a DT video, we really digged it and we have to check this out
Just found your channel today, and went on a marathon. Please listen to Unleash The Archers, any song is good.
We are planning on doing Awakening very soon
PPLLLEEAAASSEEEE do The Hunt by Wolfheart. i have a felling you guys will love it.
The Choir it´s not his voice dude, he gathered several finish artists from other metal bands to do this!!!!!
That´s why it's so epic!!! Cheers mate!
I saw the documentary after and realized that...
I was just informing you ;)
Check out one of their old song called Beyond the dark sun. You'll love the guitar there. But the song is way too short doe.
Oh we will, once we are done with this album. Wintersun-Day is here to stay.
2:24 what is he looking at? hahahah sightreading hand tablatures?
You guys never ever tried lamb of god ? ( it’s a band kkkkkk )
Try to use the search bar to find the videos on our channel.
Revocation - No Funeral pls. If you like shredding guitars and thrashy riffs
We got that one on our to do list!
You won't be disappointed~ ^_^
any bmth ?
Would be nice
The middle part reminds me of Summoning. This song is actually my least favourite Wintersun song so far and I'm always surprised to hear other people praising it so much. I still love it a lot but it just doesn't reach the par of the other Wintersun songs.
If you like black metal, I'm sure you'll gonna adore the autumn song :)
It all comes down to personal taste. This one with loneliness are my two favs. For example I love Time and my kids loves Sons of Winter and Stars...it all comes down to personal preferences. No wrongs and no rights.
Patralgan No way. This song and Loneliness are the two masterpieces of the album. Before the album released I thought I was going to prefer the other two songs based on the previews of Awaken from the Dark Slumber and because I quite like Symphonic Black Metal. But I find this song and Loneliness to be two of their greats, up there with the likes of Sons of Winter and Stars, Time, Land of Snow and Sorrow etc.
I was absolutely shocked to see that people thought this song was lacking.
As mentioned, it all comes down to personal opinion, but that's mine.
I'd really like to see some slipknot
