Amorphis - 'My Kantele' (live at Wacken Open Air 2015)
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was made from the grief
Moulded from sorrow
Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
So it will not play,
Will not rejoice at all
Music will not play to please
Give off the right sort of joy
For it was fashioned from cares
Moulded from sorrow.
It was made from grief
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was made from the grief
Moulded from sorrow
Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
So it will not play,
Will not rejoice at all
Music will not play to please
Give off the right sort of joy
For it was fashioned from cares
Moulded from sorrow.
It was made from grief
Τον Μάιο του 1996 οι Amorphis κυκλοφορούσαν τον διάδοχο του (φοβερού και τρομερού) "Tales from the Thousand Lakes" και τρίτο "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο υπό τον τίτλο "Elegy" καλύπτοντας πλήρως τις προσδοκίες που είχε δημιουργήσει ο προκάτοχός του. 19 έτη αργότερα, το καλοκαίρι του 2015, οι Φινλανδοί metallers εμφανίσθηκαν "ζωντανά" στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Wacken.
Ανάμεσα στα τραγούδια που απέδωσαν εκείνη την ημέρα ήταν και το "My Kantele", του οποίου το βίντεο σας παρουσιάζουμε μαζί με το βίντεο της (εκπληκτικής) ακουστικής εκτέλεσης από τον δίσκο "Elegy" (για να θυμούνται οι παλιοί και να μαθαίνουν οι νεότεροι)...
