2nd Hand Souls band members react to Johanna Kurkela - Rakkauslaulu. Link to the original video: • Johanna Kurkela - Rakk... Link to our channel: / @2ndhandsoulsmusic
I love her voice. You heard her once before, when you did Night 13 from Auri. I recommend you check out 'A Lifetime of Adventure' from Tuomas' solo album. Johanna sings on it.
Also Auri's "The Space Between" could be a good choice because it's at least a little bit "heavier" than ones like Night 13. Johanna is also involved in other projects like Altamullan Road and recently Eye of Melian. Perhaps someone else is in a better position to recommend songs from them as I haven't sampled their music comprehensively enough to pick the best ones.
@@HaecceitasQuidditas Those are good recommendations for me. I am completely unfamiliar with Johanna's side projects from Auri. Going to check out her other works. Thanks,
@@HaecceitasQuidditas For Altamullan Road I recommend When It's Time ruclips.net/video/PBeCoAOP5d0/видео.html. For Eye of Melian my favorites are Vitae Nova, ruclips.net/video/D6hFHuGH3RE/видео.html, and The Bell, ruclips.net/video/4r01-o_5bH4/видео.html, although everything I have listened of them is excellent.
Johanna didn't need Tuomas' help, because she already had a very successful solo career before they were together. Johanna's voice is too delicate to Nightwish, but in Auri it works like a charm. And it was also perfect with Tuomas' solo work, which you should check out too. Try this one, TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (OFFICIAL VIDEO).
Hello Souls, this is best lovesong in my opinion! And here is the english lyrics. Love song Johanna Kurkela A long time ago in me, a hunch already about you Then the unknown, I now feel and confess You were in danger of too much to get around And too tempting to skip I didn't know how everything could So burns, burns Two so glowing and beautiful gets Bright shines If only the days of the sun weren't on us Would never end A long time ago somehow, without knowing the foreboding That in the gray of the evening, you will meet without fear If I ever stand alone in the dark And the flame extinguished and cold is I don't know if it can be brought to life No one else Two so glowing and beautiful gets Bright shines If only the days of the sun weren't on us Would never end I don't hold on, I don't push you away And even unsolicited, you'd like to stay It didn't rain today even though the sky has been Heavy for a long time Two so glowing and beautiful gets Bright shines If only the days of the sun weren't on us Would never end Two so glowing and beautiful gets Bright shines If only the days of the sun weren't on us
This song was written by two famous Finnish singers, Lauri Ylönen (he's from the Rasmus) and Paula Vesala (she has now a solo career and she is one of the biggest pop artists in Finland. In the early 2000's she was in a famous band PMMP). These two were dating a long time ago now.
Tuomas and Johanna married in 2015 and before that they've been together probably 5 years. So yes maybe Tuomas gave it a thought about her singing in Nightwish but decided to make other projects with her. She sings in Tuomas' solo album (released in 2014) and also they have the Auri band together with Troy as a 3rd member.
It's really confusing, amusing and everything between how you guys have not yet reacted to Tuomas' solo album 😆 I think I have requested it close to 10 times and here we go again. Johanna sings in both. TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure ruclips.net/video/JWwSVOo5K_k/видео.html TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - The Last Sled ruclips.net/video/ICBbTKy6sxE/видео.html&t
Love Johanna's voice. She was already a popular Finnish singer when she met Tuomas. They have been together since 2009 and married since 2015. Love her in in Tuomas's Lifetime of Adventure where she sings with her friend Johanna Livanainen. You have already checked her out in Auri. Recommend The Space Between, Desert Flower, and The Valley for more Auri songs. She and Johanna Livanainen also had a project called Altamullan Road which is also quite lovely. Her most recent project is a J.R. Tolkien/Fantasy Movie music project called Eye of Melian with Martijn Westerholt of Delain. Gorgeous etheral music that is worth a listen. Vita Nova and The Bell are good starting points but I love all of their songs.
I listen very little to local Finnish music, but Johanna really is one of the few artist's I really do like. She sounds so delicate but self conscious at the same time. By the way, "Rakkauslaulu" simply means "A love song", if nobody mentioned it before.
🇫🇮❤ Here's a translation of the lyrics: The Love Song A long time ago in me, already an inkling of you Unknown then, I know now and confess You were a danger too great to avoid And too tempting to pass up I didn't know how everything could be So burns, burns You get two so glowing and beautiful Shining bright As long as the days of the sun are not on us It would never end A long time ago, somehow, without knowing it That in the gray of the evening, you will meet fear If I ever stand alone in the dark And the flame is out and it's cold I don't know if it can be brought to life Nobody else You get two so glowing and beautiful Shining bright As long as the days of the sun are not on us It would never end I'm not holding on, I'm not pushing you away And you would want to stay without being asked It didn't rain today even though the sky was clear Heavy for a long time You get two so glowing and beautiful Shining bright As long as the days of the sun are not on us It would never end You get two so glowing and beautiful Shining bright As long as the days of the sun are not on us It would never end
Don't mind, Tuomas and Johanna already HAVE their own common project. It's called AURI ! Troy is the third member of it. Together they make kind of campfire music, the type of music, which Tuomas originally was favoring. Yet Tarja's voice was too powerful so he decided to write music that suited her better. Johanna is no option for Nightwish, but she didn't need to....as she has her own career for many years.
Beautiful souls, the enchanting and beautiful Johanna, I love Eye of Melian including Johanna, my favourite the Bell just deep and Bellisimo, all the jolly to you
Yes. Johanna has a wonderful lilting voice. I also thought she was incredible in "A Lifetime of Adventure". Tuomas, Johanna, and Troy also make wonderful music in their group, Auri.
If I understood Tuomas right in an interview he said that Johanna can't sing anymore, or she won't sing anymore, the pandemic took the inspiration away. She is now concentrating on her collection on clothes to Auri, knitting collection, they are really really amazing. She really have a beautiful voice and looks like a princess from Disneys world.
I think he meant that Johanna didn't have a job at the time when the pandemic was punishing the music business. Promoters gone bankrupt etc. Half a year ago they were writing the next Altamullan Road album with Johanna Iivanainen.
@@Piia2023 In June 2022 Altamullan Road informed that they have started to make a new record. Also in June 2022 first Eye of Melian record was released. Johanna is singing on that record. I don't know is the interview, which you mentioned, made before or after last summer...
@@Piia2023 Annoying auto YT blocks, have to write again message for you. I know what interview you are talking about. I took it like it was surprise situation for her and she adapted to it. It's very likely their plan was to have a little tour with Auri in 2022 but pandemic things postponed Nightwish tour so it kinda ruined her plans. Johanna's posted a picture in the summer where they were making the next Altamullan Road album.
@@frank1963 Do you ever sleep? I've spent the last couple hours deciphering an interview with Floor from 2006.🤓 Reading the Floorian language which I've never learned is one thing, but reading a white font on a black background is a whole different story. I hope my eyesight will return and I'll stop seeing the text every time I blink. Some interesting facts about Tarja and the creepy Mr. Bongo.👀 Bunker time, I guess...
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 When you get to my age, “beauty sleep “ doesn’t work, so no use in trying. And good luck with that, I think you are referring to the interview Brendon mentioned.

And Alan and I are already in the bunker, because of some new fanatic “fan basest “ appearing on this channel.
@@frank1963 Sorry for the late reply. Been hiding in the local forest, whither I'd been chased by some double-faced carnivores - surely an attack coordinated by the certified creep Mr. Bongo and his Tarjaholic disciples. Escaped.

@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 🤣😂 I thought you spent your day in church, confessing all your sin to a priest. I don’t know what Yt is doing, I had several comments deleted in the last couple of days. Again, I love the way you right.
Live is better. You should also watch Johanna Kurkela - Rakkauslaulu live 27/12/2014 It's from a Finnish TV- format where you can surprise someone dear to you, doesn't have to be romantic love, with a song. Johanna sings the song to a couple you can see in ghe audience. It was the most popular performance that season, and was performed in the season finale in Tampere Talo, Tampere House, concert hall. Tuomas had nothing to do with this song, music by Lauri Ylönen, from The Rasmus, lyrics by Paula Vesala. This is an old song, a big hit, will be evergreen. Johanna looks so young. Born in 1985, Tuomas was born in 1976. I think they became an item in 2009 maybe, got married in 2017, quietly. They have a hobby, they are crosswordssetters. I think Johanna takes care of drawing. They haven't done much music together outside Auri, the band they have with Troy. My favorite is A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE, a song from Tuomas' only solo album, in 2014, "Music inspired by The Life and Times of Scrooge', a graphic novel by Don Rosa, the storyteller/illustrator. Beautiful vocals by Johanna. Recorded in London with the orchestra Nightwish cooperates with. Interesting and funny backround info: "Holopainen and Rosa interviewed by Radio Nova" parts 1&2, 5 minutes altogether. Tuomas is not afraid to contact people for cooperation, whether it is Don Rosa, Richard Dawkins or Sir David Attenborough, who declined with a hand-written letter that Tuomas treasures. I think David Attenborough is 90+ years old.
Is anyone else having trouble posting links on this channel in particular? I tried to post a link to an English translation of the lyrics, but it doesn't appear. Something similar has happened before, which is why I stopped including links in reaction recommendations for a while.
@@alancarter41 Yeah, it just seems that this happens more often on this channel than others, but who knows, perhaps it's coincidence or confirmation bias. I guess it might help if I had mostly linkless comments and just perhaps 20-30% containing links.
@@HaecceitasQuidditas Not sure, I have had links disappear on multiple channels. I seem to lose them more often on the non music channels. I still think the evil god of tech hates me.
I didn’t have any problems with posting music links on this channel. But it happened to me a few times on other channels especially when the link was referring to information like an interview.
Pretty song and she has a great voice, but to me it is just the same pop that infects American radio, just in another language. Guess I am metal to the core. Headed to the bunker now to listen to some Blind Guardian. Stay safe, God Bless, keep rocking.
She has a lovely voice, she the spoken text in the Poet and the Pendulum and in other songs. I listened to her in Auri a bit, haven’t heard this song. Enjoy your weekend, it’s lights out for me now. 😴💤SO STOP POSTING 😂😂

🇫🇮❤ Here's a translation of the lyrics:
The Love Song
A long time ago in me, already an inkling of you
Unknown then, I know now and confess
You were a danger too great to avoid
And too tempting to pass up
I didn't know how everything could be
So burns, burns
You get two so glowing and beautiful
Shining bright
As long as the days of the sun are not on us
It would never end
A long time ago, somehow, without knowing it
That in the gray of the evening, you will meet fear
If I ever stand alone in the dark
And the flame is out and it's cold
I don't know if it can be brought to life
Nobody else
You get two so glowing and beautiful
Shining bright
As long as the days of the sun are not on us
It would never end
I'm not holding on, I'm not pushing you away
And you would want to stay without being asked
It didn't rain today even though the sky was clear
Heavy for a long time
You get two so glowing and beautiful
Shining bright
As long as the days of the sun are not on us
It would never end
You get two so glowing and beautiful
Shining bright
As long as the days of the sun are not on us
It would never end
