Wintersun - Loneliness Reaction!! 

Wintersun posted your reaction video on their Facebook. 👍

Finnish melancholy at it's best.. I get wet eyes everytime I listen to this \m/

To not like Wintersun is actually a crime.

Sori's reaction was beyond amazing. This is how music works, I love it!

Wintersun-Time(Time I live rehearsals at Sonic Pump Studios) Remaster

Every Wintersun song it's a masterpiece. Love this song, Jari's a genius. I'm allways cutting onions with this one. I think this song it's about his father and the feel of lost.

Hi. I'm very grateful of seeing this reaction and review. The song is incredibly special to me, I am a very lonely person (as in I don't feel like belonging to this world and I connecting with others is difficult) so it speaks to me. Musically it's about everything I want from a song and more, each note and riff is so thoughtfully put together and the singing and growling parts are just crushing with emotion and delivery. It's not just a song.. well it is, but not like most others. It's one of those very rare songs that can make me cry. I can't verify it, but I remember reading somewhere that Jari (the mastermind behind Wintersun) isolated himself for quite some time to get into proper mindset to be able to make this incredible emotional vocal performance. Also I love how the song PERFECTLY encapsulates winter in its soundscape. It's beautiful, can be peaceful, but also very harsh and obviously cold. An interesting fact: Jari hates winter with passion and loves summer, so he's the same as me in that aspect. Now, I highly recommend you to react to Eternal Darkness (Autumn), I think it ties to this song like it's about dying and death (not only the nature [autumns are usually very dark in Finland], but the human experience also) and Loneliness (Winter) is what comes after that, the mourning and regret. These two songs are actually my all time favorites and nothing tops them. They are very different but somehow complement each other in my opinion. Whereas Loneliness is slow, beautiful and bright (like a sunny winter day), Eternal Darkness is fast, brutal and very dark. Its lyrics are definitely the Jari's best and there's so much to analyse there.

Guys ! You really did another Wintersun song !! Thank you so much. Probably their most melancholic song. Jari is a brilliant musician and truly one of a kind. And how he's capable to sing a song like this even when he got half of his lung removed it's really impressive. Top notch band, these guys are just stellar More Wintersun please, Time (the live version at Sonic Pump Studios) is a must ! Or Eternal Darkness from the Forest Seasons, it has an amazing Black Metal vibe

Jari's genius is undeniable. Along with Tuomas from Nigthwish, I would be content to just listen to only their music for the rest of my life. Yeats used the term "terrible beauty" in his poem about the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, and it perfectly describes how I view Jari's/Wintersun's music--it's so beautiful that it's almost excruciating, if that makes any sense. Not every day you get some idiot quoting Yeats in your reaction channel, haha. \m/. Please make the next Wintersun vid you react to Time from the SONIC PUMP LIVE REHEARSAL video!

Sori: Omfg I'm gonna cry Vin: Dooby-dooby-doooo

Sori, the effect this song had on you made me tear up. This is the only song I´ve ever heard that always manages to mess me up and seeing it have a similar effect on someone else really moved me. You two seem like wonderful people. Keep crushing!

Lost my grandfather during a cold winter. This song reminds of the isolation I felt and how it completely changed me. I couldn't recognize myself after he passed. Cant listen to this song without crying.

Best metal ballad ever.

They say real grown men don't cry. I learned something about myself with this song. This is the most emotional song I know and it releases something within me I didn't know existed. That's Jari's magic. No one does what he does. I too dealt with my fair share of loss. It got me to the absolute edge. And I believed I was desensitized to it. The first time I heard this song it all returned. In a way this song helped me really deal with my own experiences. And yes, grown men do cry. Even the stubborn ones.

Why Finland produce so many great metal bands!? )) Great music! )

Wintersun is one of the supreme elements in music history.

One thing you should notice and appreciate about this lead singer (if you haven t heard info on this band before). The guy got half of his lung removed due to an infection with tuberculosis. It is truly amazing he is capable of those vocals in those conditions.

Sort of sad that you guys, if i remember correctly, were at a Wintersun show where you left after NEO's set, where they did play this song along with the whole new record and a few other songs. I seem to remember there was no seating and Sori was understandably tired being at a metalshow pregnant and you guys had limited time to realistically spend at the venue so you guys left after NEO who you actually were there to see. I think they most likely will come back to NA after the next album (if that ever happens) so you should get another chance to see them live. Definitely worth it, i saw them live a few months back for the 5th (or 6th) time, still as good as ever especially the 1st album stuff. You should give a listen to that stuff, perhaps "Death and the Healing" amazing song.

Amorphis: Silent Waters, My sacrifice, You I need, Brother and sister... Pretty please :)

Always tearing up with this one....and the acoustic version is insane, too.

Just kept looking at her and felt the beat as her. She really feels this song and that is so beautiful. This song has so much to tell to so many people, I just wish many more would hear it.

This is my first time hearing this band. I love it! I'm definitely going to check out more of thier stuff.

My dad passed away 6 years ago and my mom last year.This song goes deep,because there was so much left undone

Really great to get to see you react to this masterpiece! Such a beautiful and sad song.. As some others say here, we really want you to listen to their song "Time" too from the live rehearsal at sonic pump studios! Take care.

thanks guys!

Now react to wintersun - time live rehearsal at sonic pump studio...a masterpiece song with lots of emotions...

this song makes me cry every time

I was exactly like Sori when I listened to this the very first time (and every time to be honest) I cried so much. So much emotion. There is an acoustic version of this song with only clean vocals, is eve more beautiful and touching if that is possible. I love autumn and winter, I feel that I am more at home during those seasons.

That was me that requested this song a lot lol. It was worth the wait! I’m sorry it was at a bad time. You should check out Eternal Darkness (Autumn) it’s a wildly different song from Lonliness. Very black metal with plenty of amazing parts.

Sori is the most gone I have ever seen. pure emotion. Wintersun is Everything!

by watching Sori reaction to the song it looked like it hit her deep...she was deep into it

It's such a beautiful and haunting piece, I love it! I can definitely relate since I lost my old man in 2018, it's easier to cope and see the turning of the wheel of life when you have kids of your own (mine are 3 and 6). Life prevails and continues, never forget! I was almost in tears myself just by seeing Sori's emotions written so clearly on her face...btw I'm 45, and Finnish! (daimonf777) :D Afterthought, thx Vin and Sori for all your reactions, I truly enjoy them and I've watched a lot although this is my 1st comment ever :p Metallica and Iron Maiden are huge favourites of mine, after that everything Finnish. Cudos, and cheers!

So glad you did this one, I've been looking forward for this. Guess the time was right for you guys, and now is time for Wintersun - Time (live rehearsal @ sonic pump studios remaster) ;)

I got tears to my eyes just by looking Sori's face expressions... Just loving it! And Vin's shirt. Becoming a real fan perhaps?

I look forward to your reactions and chats afterwards every damn day. Thanks for just being so down to earth, all faith set aside. I know you guys don't do that because of your faith and convictions, and I do respect that. I set mine aside and just enjoy two really good people, and that is EXACTLY what you guys are...just good people. Love to you guys and yours.

Ahhhh. I love Wintersun so much. Easily one of my favorite bands. They don't make bad music. Good to see you react to another of theirs.

The song is pure brilliance, pure emotion. I feel a sense of tragedy for those who can't appreciate the many wonderful genres of metal music, they are missing out on perfection like this every day.

It amazes me how Jari had part of his lungs removed due to tuberculosis, but still manages to have such a powerful voice.

Love Sori's reaction, there's times when she really looks like she's out of this world :)

As a finn this is touching, love our winter and north, sadness what it brings but also joy and happiness

Finally. I have waited so long for this :D

Great song. Like nothing I've heard before. The guitars are stellar.

Thank you for doing this at last. Jari Maenpaa wrote this song about the passing of his father and the deep loss and Loneliness he suffered. He was very close to his dad and this was a beautiful tribute to him. Jari is a genius a modern Motzart.

Finally!! 🤘this song hits in soul everytime!

It is hard not to feel this Song. Thank you for sharing with us

Wintersun always helps me when I'm feeling depressed. Jari is a lyrical genius.

This song always reminds me of my parents 😭

Every time I hear this all I can think about is Valfar.

Wow... I have waited this for a long time. Thanks guys a lot! Jari... who is lead singer and guitarist writes all of their songs. Jari have said that this album is most personal so far. This song is said to speak Jari's dad passing away. I still hope you could react all of their songs... but at least Forest That Weeps and Time live rehearsal at Sonic Pump studio. Please and peace 🙏✌️

"An album about the seasons, what an epic idea" Vivaldi, anyone?

Hi Sori - my first time seeing you guys react to anything....but THIS really grabbed you didn't it? it's hard not to be emotionally involved with anything Jari writes, he's a genius and surrounds himself with the very best of musicians. Wintersun is Finlands finest band....and that's not an easy feat...Finland is blessed with fantastic musicians.

Finally! Only about a year late. Remember back in October of last year when I was begging for you guys to do this song and it was "on the shortlist"?

What a beautifully executed lyric.

I was just watching your "insomnium" video today, ppl were asking about Wintersun. And now I'm seeing this!

This is true perfection, lyrically and musically. Amazing review guys

only in Finland (where Wintersun is from) can music be this sad and beautiful and dark

Amon Amarth - Embrace of the Endless Ocean

The songwriter/lyricswriter was inspired to write this song by his father's death. Really heart-touching song, whenever I hear this, I always get goosebumps at the least. Sori seemed totally entering into the feelings ofJari Mäenpää while listening. Great reaction video! I really like you're talking about lots of different things in the end, kind of brainstorming.

I have this cd in my car right now. So damn good.

Thank you so much for reacting to this finally :D

@VinAnd Sori i really love your reactions. You are the only one who listen to a full piece and dont even stop one time! Thats the spirit! In my opinion interrupting the songs destroy the whole feeling. Good work tho! Keep going like this!

Anathema- Internal Landscapes live in Universal Concert Bulgaria

Lament of the wind by crown of glory.....thank you

Wintersun is unique. You guys need to check all their stuff.

Love this song so much. Masterpiece. NeObliviscaris of petrachor weaves and black noise next, please.

Seeing that Nightwish shirt and hearing Orion suggest me that you should react to Nightwish - Pharaoh sails to orion

Most beautiful sadness, most touching melancholy, why have i not listened to them before?

the reason why finns are one of happiest.... listening this kind of tales, after, any one feels happy

how much more beautiful can anything be than this - poetic lyrics

Blessings to you Vin & Sori.

This song is so powerful, I just randomly cried in it and I’ve heard this a few times ....thinking wtf is wrong with me? I’m not a depressed person either quite the opposite so when a song can do this to me it’s crazy powerful 😢...... I’m sorry guys I’m not Christian but I strongly believe we have a much more powerful intelligent with unconditional love looking over us and we are immortal and death is an evolution of our consciousness as I’ve had many experiences praying and being answered in trouble and intuitions keeping me from Danger , love u guys you seem like beautiful people 🙂

This is so awesome song.....and also whole band. You are so great👍 Greetings from Finland

The long pause after the song finished summarises how magical and epic this song is...

Thank u for doing this =) its soon time for 6-8 months of no sunlifght & snowhell here in northern finland :]

Favourite song of this band. 2nd fav is about summer.

This song fits perfectly to what you said about the mother losing her baby "bless her" to something that happened to me just after new year this year. My girlfriend was pregnant but decided that she still loved her ex who was controlling and decided to abort the pregnancy to be with him. So not only did I lose her but also our child and I was a hairs width away from killing myself only saved by a friend who came to my aid. But the lyrics of the frozen sun was me sitting on a park feeling the frozen sun hitting my face decided whether to end it all. Emotional and brought alot back for me.... great video

So good! Found another awesome Winterson song! Sori, you good?

YES, thank you! I spent the whole last winter (no pun intended, as this part of the album is called Winter) addicted to this song, it's amazing. Another one from them I love, from a different album, is Sadness and Hate. On another subject, I love Sori's red highlights :)

A Masterpiece!

everything about this song is perfect

Seems that the winter is coming /like. After watching your reaction... it's really, that music is so powerful. You may connect to any situation you're dealing with or you've heard/experienced of by "just" listening a song.. Damn. It's such a beautiful song. If you ever consider visiting Finland, then February to northern part or July to southern part of Finland.

Watching Sori's reaction to the final part of the song (especially at 13:26), I wept like a baby. Thanks, Sori. Just for the record, I am a 42-year-old man, 😖

Great reaction and agree with the ratings. The sound of winter. Finns know winter for sure. Forest that Weeps and Time are both great ones to check out from Wintersun.

Would love to see you react to Tears of a Clown by Iron Maiden . It's a tribute to Robin Williams and those battling depression.

Bem, já ouvi muitas músicas lindas do mundo metal, mas essa do wintersun quebrou todas as barreiras em termos de harmonia em todos os sentidos, tanto vocal como instrumental...excepcional!!!!

Fall is my favorite season and October is my favorite month!

I feel you on that seasonal depression Vin. Greetings from arctic circle.

Very deep poetry.. For Jaris father

Dude I feel like I just requested this not too long ago as well such a great song!

Sori, tell your friend I prayed for her and her lost baby... Each person has a story to tell, but very little want to. Thanks for sharing with it. God bless you, Guys.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying...

This is one of their best tracks . Full of emotion

I'll have goosebumps until the next month with this

It's okay, to cry for something beautiful

Wintersun has never made a bad album. Their self titled album will always be my favorite because it is perfect beginning to end. It also doesn't help that I had to wait 8 years for a second one.

Anathema- One Last Goodbye live in Universal Concert Bulgaria You will cry during this one. This band needs to be done.

Wintersun: Loneliness Sori: Gets Destroyed.

u can feel the emotion in his voice

That song touched Sori's soul, that's for certain.

@vinandsori i assume the lady's name is "Sori" this song is about the death of the father of the singer, think you got the emotion right, i listen to this song to remind my mother
