20 years later, everytime i listen to this song (and i did hundreds of time), it still feels like its the first time. Absolute perfection, nothing can reach that. there's some magic i cant describe. 🏅🏅🤩🤩🔥🔥
For anyone wondering, the odd sounding screams at 1:51 is "Only way out is through the window of dreams" played backwards. One of the many things that makes this my favourite Wintersun song :D
One of my favourite choruses in all of metal, the brutality, the melancholy, the melody, twisted, powerful, incredible. This is truly my joint favourite metal album of all time, my other favourite would definitely be Hatebreeder
This is the best guitar tone of all time. Especially combined with his playing. And over the decades this has actually become possibly my favorite song on this album, which means my favorite song ever
I first heard of Wintersun through a RuneScape video someone made in 2006, where Starchild was being used as a track. It's been pure love for it ever since Beautiful death is perfection in every sense of the word, and my favourite song of all time! The way the music evolves and gets better as winter comes and snow begins to fall.. it's magic I've owned the original Album since nearly the beginning and I'd give anything to see the band perform. Thanks for the 2.0 uploads!!
Man, could it have been Sosolid2k? Because that's where I heard Starchild for the first time. And yeahh it was around 2007/2008 I believe when I started playing. Epic sharing the same nostalgia for this music
"Extreme" metal is an acquired taste. When I first started listening to metal, it was bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden. Today I can't stomach that kind of stale vanilla music at all, but love bands like Wintersun and Foretoken and so on. Your taste in music evolves over time.
From Wikipedia: "In 1997, Mäenpää served in the Finnish military as part of his national defense duty, during which he contracted tuberculosis. The diagnosis was late, and Mäenpää required surgery to remove part of his lung, hospitalizing him for months. The song "Beautiful Death" would later be inspired by this event."
So proud of you Jari,you have a pure warrior spirit and heart. I wish you good health and long life for the rest of your living days.Long Live Jari! -ANA TITAN 5.35 5.6.19
i was between 10 and 13 as my tutor for school offert me to translate a english song i like. I already was really into metal and wintersun was huge influenze for me, this was my fav song at the time so i choose it. Needless to say she was kinda disturbed... still love the song and the lyrics ^^ Thank you wintersun your songs, they will be always a part of my life. (sry, my english is still bad xD)
I think it is a reference to the song "Death and the Healing". The dead man representing "Death" and the glowing from behind the tree representing the "Healing". I am not too sure but I read somewhere it is something like that. Not 100% sure though! :)
From Wikipedia: "Mäenpää compared the artwork to the song "Death and the Healing": "The man fallen into the snow could represent 'death' [and] 'despair,' and the light between the trees could represent 'home' [or] "birth/healing.'"" So as the other commenter under your comment said, it is basically "Death and the Healing"!
Just bought a mp3 player with 32gb simcard slot for my work van and will be picking up all the Wintersun albums and dumping them on there. Wintersun is so good, they deserve to get paid.
That synth melody at 1:43 always reminds me of a tune I was trying to make in my MIDI HS class. Except mine sounded like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Beautiful song. Thanks for upload, I'll put this on my repeat playlist too in hopes to help your revenue. :)
Last year I went to concert of in that moment one my favourite bands Arch Enemy... From that moment when Wintersun started to play one band was added to this list 😍🤘
Such a masterpiece. It is the darkest song of him and you can hear the desperation since he actually was afraid to die from tuberculosis that time. [Edit] He actually wrote the song after he had tuberculosis but it was inspired from that experience.
No. He had tuberculosis in 1997. This song was LATER inspired by the experience, he wasn't afraid he was going to die at the time he wrote and recorded it.

This just proves it to me even more that telecasters sound killer for metal, that single coil bridge pickup sounds snappier and more aggressive than 99% of the active or high gain pickups the djent guys have been overusing. It sounds organic, you can hear the actual string, I like that.
If jari releases anything again it’ll never have drum tracks like this. Fucking masterpiece man. It’ll be programmed like the forest drains which honestly sucks so bad compared to this creative real intense drumming

This is sick as fuck. I've tried to listen to this album 5 or 6 times since it came out and couldn't stand it. Today I'm loving it. 🤘

damn i never knew that
And The man still sings like that. Just adds a bit more to his already perfect vocals \m/
Thanks for the info, always wondered about the story behind this song.

@@EpicZadrani He's got lots of SISU.
3:57 Possibly my favorite part of this song ngl.
Happy 20th Anniversary, Wintersun!!! 🤘🥳🤘
Can't describe the awesomeness of the scream right before the solo (I'm not ready to DIIIIIE). Sounds like he's tearing his vocal chords apart.

Absolute all time favorite for me. Kiitos Jari että olet olemassa.
Just wanna say hi to Jari. Hi, Jari.
"Hi Jari, guys here"
Hi
I've always been fascnated by this album cover and what the red behind the trees represents
I think it is a reference to the song "Death and the Healing". The dead man representing "Death" and the glowing from behind the tree representing the "Healing". I am not too sure but I read somewhere it is something like that. Not 100% sure though! :)

0:45 one of the best riffs in music history.
That synth melody at 1:43 always reminds me of a tune I was trying to make in my MIDI HS class. Except mine sounded like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Beautiful song. Thanks for upload, I'll put this on my repeat playlist too in hopes to help your revenue. :)
Sounded like shiiiiiit hahaha that got me
Keep trying! Make another one!
@@germansurgtube maybe one day :)
Last year I went to concert of in that moment one my favourite bands Arch Enemy... From that moment when Wintersun started to play one band was added to this list 😍🤘
This final is so pure and magical
Some of the most destructive riffs ever
Such a masterpiece.
It is the darkest song of him and you can hear the desperation since he actually was afraid to die from tuberculosis that time.

No. He had tuberculosis in 1997. This song was LATER inspired by the experience, he wasn't afraid he was going to die at the time he wrote and recorded it.
Okay, I didn't know that, thanks.
eternal darkness is darker ;)
Those interpretations of "They will try to take everything away from me" are perfection. This part is insane!!!!! 3:12 - 4:15.

Only 9 days for me to wait!!
Every Lyric Written in this Album speaks about very familiar feelings and thoughts I have had and do now this day
So who else goes flying off through the universe at 4:45? I don't know of any more epic moment in metal music
This just proves it to me even more that telecasters sound killer for metal, that single coil bridge pickup sounds snappier and more aggressive than 99% of the active or high gain pickups the djent guys have been overusing. It sounds organic, you can hear the actual string, I like that.
Didnt know that a ibanez jem is a tele
@@maxpravemann5519 He used a Tokai Telecaster for the first album. Not an Ibanez, a real fan should know
This song is just pure brilliance! So powerful and emotional
Jari, immemorial 2.0 when?
If jari releases anything again it’ll never have drum tracks like this. Fucking masterpiece man.
It’ll be programmed like the forest drains which honestly sucks so bad compared to this creative real intense drumming
If Time 2 ever comes out, Kai will be playing the drums.
My favourite song from them. Not much into this kind of metal anymore but I remind a lot thins song.
Awfully weird that this popped up in a kpop Playlist of mine....but I can dig it.
This beats every single kpop song.
Aún recuerdo el hermoso demo Fly Into The Sky... solo espero escucharlo de nuevo en su remasterizada versión.
he is using his tokai tele in this i think, sounds so cool
Will you play this song on May 10th Nosturi, Helsinki ??
They'll play all the songs from the wintersun album, so yes
''When I die, I'll be buried with the Silver Leaves''.....👌
now I feel more related to this song
Song slays \m/
This is a religious experience....even tho I'm an athiest....does that any make sense? It's fucken epic as hell🤘
I wish that to all of us, "a beautiful death"...
"Who is listen to this song and understand the meaning for first time?" "Me". ;)

/LYRICS/
My face turned pale before the cold eyes of death
My body was frozen by the stare from the dark
I don't want to think of anything, but there's storm of thoughts in my head
I wasn't prepared for this, 'cause I'm not ready to die
Nothing could have prepared me for this
Nothing but blood so red and deceased
Nothing but pain, I fall on my knees
Tormenting demons, I suffer and bleed
Only way out is through window of dreams
The rain whips the lonely and crushed soul
The dark clouds are closing fast, the wind is blowing the colours of life away
The growing shadow will darken my dreams, and with the fire inside me it feeds
I'll be screaming in the stars when it's over
Storms are raging on the path to home, once so silent and calm
The desperate glare of the dark light is cast on the fallen one
And when the illusions sigh no more, the journey to new dream will carry on
'Cause life is just a beautiful death
Life turns a new and strange page
They will try to take everything away from me
You'll never know the future
Save me from the rain
Tell me what matters in life, if anything
I'm struggling with sickness
They will try to take everything away from me
Are you trying to hide from the end
Save me from the rain
Save me from the end
'Cause life will always be withering away from us
I want to be alone with you
And I'll give my heart to you, before I go
'Cause life is just a beautiful, beautiful death

Death metal right there.
It's prog metal.

First one
Dude's cool and all, but I think he peaked at his first album somewhere around this song.
Woods Of Desolation is still better in riffs and melodies and the vocalist is better too.
haha
