I'm looking at you through the glass...no not this time :D but it will come :P
So today i'm gonna stop at a classic one :D It was one of the first metal songs i've ever listened to, and i had the chance to hear it live in sibiu at the first edition of Artmania...Hell No i'm not talking about Him :)). It's about a Finnish metal band started by Jan Rechberger, Tomi Koivusaari, and Esa Holopainen in 1990. Initially, the band was a death metal act, but on later albums they evolved into playing other types of genres, which include heavy metal, progressive metal, and folk metal. They frequently use the Kalevala, the Epic Poem of Finland, as a source for their lyrics. The band released 9 studio albums, the last one dated 2009. I think you've guessed already that i'm talking about AMORPHIS.
Well the song i'm gonna present is taken from the third full-lenght album called Elegy released in 1996. The album is their first to feature a majority of clean vocals, sung by new vocalist Pasi Koskinen. The music and lyrics are inspired by the traditional Finnish ballads and poems compiled in the Kanteletar by Elias Lönnrot in 1840. The primary genre of the album is progressive metal, with strong folk influence, as well as elements of melodic death metal and New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
The song is called...AGAINST WINDOWS

And the lyrics...

The Devils weds a widow
Death another's leftovers
Better to lie on a willows
Rest on alder boughs
Then upon a widow's bed
On a used woman's pillow
Sweeter the side of a fence
Then a widow's flank

Softer the side of a grove
Than a widow's beside is

The Devil weds a widow
The grave one twice wed
A widow's hand is rougher
Than a dry spruce bough
With which she strikes the playful
Grabs the one who laughs
A widow has had her games
And spent a merry evening




till next time...
