as said down the comments, pretty melancholic, you can feel the cold, the loneliness and harsh terrain, the few finnish who dared stand against all odds, in a world that was being devoured with war. if only did they know, that this war, was the first with an enemy that would last in power almost a century, an enemy that steamrolled countries. if only did they know, they were the first to stand against it and fight the red menace. truly, the power of defending home beats all.
Yes but Sisu is why the Finns stayed strong. Every Finn is taught from a young age to have Sisu. Sisu is the courage, strength and determination to get through life's hardest moments. This is why the Finns remained so strong despite the odds against them. This is why Finland exists because normal people like Simo Häyhä stepped up and did their job. He even said that if he and others didn't, Finland wouldn't exist. Best part about Sisu? Anyone can have it. Just gotta summon it from inside.
I have been listening to this video countless times. My grandmas dad and his brothers fought in both the winter war and the continuation war then the fled to Sweden
I like this song. I remember how it played at the moment when Soviet Army started artillery support Then they attacked us with the big group of people, also it was our Last point and We fought as animals. We won that battle and honestly I felt my self like a winner
It is an injustice how underrated this emotionally powerful soundtrack is. The slow build from 7:30 hits different.

Kantele sounds like tears falling down from Suomi's eyes. She hopes her sons return, but knows they probably won't...
