This react was filmed 8/30 the date the album dropped. I was really pushing my tears down for a few reasons, to not show such vulnerability, so I could better concentrate on the music, as well as, I didn't think people would want to see me cry. From the comments on One with the Shadows I realize now this is not the case. I did let go after the reaction was done (if you couldn't tell by my face at the end of final thoughts lol, I do also smile when I'm trying to hold back tears). Anyways, I wanted to explain why I was holding back but I will not do so in the future. Thank you all for the nice comments. If you read this far, keep being your wonderful self and I hope your day is an amazing one!
I am a Gen-X:r as well. I am a man and I cried like a baby hearing the whole album in just about every song. I don't know if it was the anticipation or how it sounded in some particular point or the lyrics. I couldn't sleep the thursday/friday release night because I just had to listen to Wintersun Time II package the whole night.
Thank you for sharing these reactions for Time II. Hard to believe we're a month into living in a world where it exists! I don't know how many times I've listened through it.. Many, many times.
Wintersun is the only band that can make me listen to a 10+ minute song and come out of it thinking "that was too short". What a masterpiece of a song on a masterpiece of an album. I too was also pleasantly surprised with how uplifting this song ended up being. Thanks for sharing your reactions! There really is something special about seeing someone else deeply enjoy something you do as well.
Im Canadian wintersun is my favorite band ! Sometime i just walk in the Forest lying in the snow for many hours with my dog listen to wintersun ! ❤ I Will remember these simple moment all my Life ! Thanks to wintersun !
thank you, I appreciate it! This song is amazing, it gets better every time I hear it, I always find new little things to pick out (and many tears have been shed since)
Thank you April for sharing your lovely reactions to the whole album, I enjoyed every one of them. I wish you much success with your channel, have a good day!
I've been listening to this song for 5 times today and I've been bawling my eyes out 😁 It's funny how I started feeling the tears at the exact same moment that your text "holding back the tears" appeared on the video.
Se antaa aivan erityisen säväyksen tähän ja koko diskografiaan. Jos jossain Wintersunin biisissä pitää olla suomea, niin tämä oli juuri oikea valinta. Melkein toivon, että tämä jää ainoaksi.
I like your emotionals reacts. Great music Make emotionals reacts ❤❤❤ This IS a great Song. And The Part on Finnish speak Part. Vielä joskus näen sinut uudestaan... Yes I am Finnish Guy.
I am dumbfounded by the beauty, rawness and composition of this track and this album as a whole. I listen to it quite often and I'm glad so many are as impacted by it as I am.
What a lovely genuine reaction. I see too many reactors(lol) these days that look at their phone every once in a while or talk so much even themselves cant hear the music. This is the way to react to music. Just listen and imagine stuff. I've been inside the finnish metal scene for 25 years. In the early years in bands, later just a listener/festival goer, but I've never seen Wintersun live. Hope that'll change one day. Greetings from a finnish millenial.❤🔥
thank you for that, such a nice comment :) Sometimes I feel like I should talk more so it's not boring but then I feel like that does a big disservice to the music and I would miss too much, so I appreciate you saying that. So much amazing metal in Finland, I feel I have only scratched the surface! cheers!
Thank you for your beautiful reactions to TIME II😊❤ When you feel ready for it, try to put on When Time Faded Away 2 .0 (from TIME I 2.0) directly after Silver Leaves
I always get major major goosebumps during the Finnish part. It's an amazing touch in a beautiful song. I don't know if I would love it more if I wasn't a Finn myself or knew any Finnish so that it would sound like a mysterious alien language. How did you feel about it? I'm looking forward to seeing a non-Finn singing this song and attempting the Finnish part :) Thank you so much for these reactions! ❤️
I really love the Finnish part even though no clue what he is singing (I am trying to learn but have a long ways to go). Partly because I know it is his native language and you can hear so much passion/emotion in it, I also think Finnish is a beautiful spoken language. That sounds like a fun challenge to attempt to sing it 😁
@@AbsoluteApril if you don't mind, I can translate it: Some day I will see you again But my time is up I'll leave a piece of me with the silver leaves Some day I will hear the silence filling this emptiness In the end I'm buried with the silver leaves
You know what time it is ? It's Wintersun time of course and what a another masterpiece of a album by jari jukka teemu and kai looking forward to their next album April . Wintersun Alex ❄️❤️
For the bands I recommended on the last video, Amorphis and Insomnium, plenty of songs to check out by both. Amorphis draws from the national epic of Finland, Kalevala, bringing the stories to people around the world. Just one vocalist, Tomi Joutsen, who has just the deepest growls and really amazing clean vocals, in my opinion. Already mentioned 'Death of a King' by them, and I would recommend starting the journey with Amorphis with that one, to see the whole band in action. More songs: 'The Bee', 'Brother and Sister'. And Insomnium has many a song to bring out the tears. They are masters of Melodic Death Metal. Songs to check out are many. 'Heart Like a Grave', 'The Lay of Autumn', 'One For Sorrow', 'While We Sleep', 'The River', 'Pale Morning Star', 'Godforsaken (feat. Johanna Kurkela)', Song Of The Dusk', The Argent Moon EP... Just off the top of my head...
Are you familiar with Tales of a thousand lakes and Elegy? When I first started listening to them I was restricted to the newer stuff a lot (which are incredible and I love)... I don't know if that's your situation, but those 2 albums I mentioned are just amazing too
Best translation i've found for the finnish part that makes sense poetically: Someday I’ll see you again But my time is running out I’ll leave a piece of me By the silver leaves Someday I’ll hear the silence Filling this emptiness And in the end, I’ll be buried By the silver leaves
Hello, the one in the corner during the song? Yes, I made it myself. I wanted to have something interesting for people to look at during the reaction. I do not have it uploaded on it's own, just made it to use in this video.

Tears are always beautiful to see in reactions
You're a trooper. I've heard this song more than 30 times since the album dropped and I still can't hold it in.
Take care! For me this album also dug deep into my emotions and left me crying. But these are good tears
Beautiful song, beautiful reaction 🥺🥺 you too have an amazing day wonderful April! 🖤🖤🤗🤗

I don't know how many times I've listened through it.. Many, many times.
It doesn't feel like it's already been a month, it was totally worth the wait imo
my favorite song from the album. Majestic song!
I just love it how Jari changes guitar riff just a little and same time language changes to finnish, perfection!
Wintersun is the only band that can make me listen to a 10+ minute song and come out of it thinking "that was too short". What a masterpiece of a song on a masterpiece of an album. I too was also pleasantly surprised with how uplifting this song ended up being.

This song is pure magic! One of the most emotional song Jari ever wrote. The more you listen, the better it gets!
A beautiful lady sharing her reaction to this amazingly beautiful song by a band from my home country made my day.
Im Canadian wintersun is my favorite band ! Sometime i just walk in the Forest lying in the snow for many hours with my dog listen to wintersun ! ❤ I Will remember these simple moment all my Life ! Thanks to wintersun !
I've been waiting for this one. I love your reactions. So genuine and raw. Every time I hear this song I cry. Too fucking good.

Mahtavasti Jari tuo Suomea esille uskomattoman sävellyksen ohella.
Aivan mahtavaa!

Absolutely lovely reactions, my favourite ones🤩
Thanks for these reactions. I watched all of them. I've also seen you on the Patreon forums (fellow patron here)
Oh very cool! I wasn't sure about joining the Patreon but I really like it there so far (although I probably post too much haha). Cheers!
Great song and lovely reaction 🖤

@@Patralgan thank you very much!! ahh it's so sad and sweet
For me it's really the "It's so dark here without your shining light." that's just really a tear jerker for me.
Just how he sings it really hits.
You know what time it is ? It's Wintersun time of course and what a another masterpiece of a album by jari jukka teemu and kai looking forward to their next album April . Wintersun Alex ❄️❤️
Whole album is amazing, at first I felt like it was alright but every time I listen to it again it keeps on getting better.

Going to see Amorphis live on the 19th. Can't wait. They are a recent discovery for me, and definitely one I enjoy alot.

@@GabrielMGoncalves I'm working my way backwards from the trilogy. Haven't reached those yet, but I'm looking forward to getting to them! Thanks!
Gorgeous tune, just beautiful.
Best translation i've found for the finnish part that makes sense poetically:
Someday I’ll see you again
But my time is running out
I’ll leave a piece of me
By the silver leaves
Someday I’ll hear the silence
Filling this emptiness
And in the end, I’ll be buried
By the silver leaves
Also, cool thing about the end of the song, it flows right into the beginning of Time I again.
That seems correct... Greetings from Finland! :)
So beautiful! ❤
You look gorgeous! 💖
Jari's music just hits different
These lyrics just stay with you, I can't believe it surpassed the hype.
April. 😊
Let if flow girl!
10 poits for you from finland
What does GenX means in the title?
Other than that nice vidéo and wintersun my godness 🎉
"Gen X Reacts" is me, I am a gen x-er reacting to (insert music/movie title)
Hello ... dónde puedo ver este vídeo???
This guitar has no voice...on this album the guitar IS the voice...and i got GOOSEBUMPS when I hear the japanese influenced melodies!
melody and singing are good, but the english text likes someone improvised it
hello baby....
My cuestión is?
Do you create the video?
i hanna see please?
Hello, the one in the corner during the song? Yes, I made it myself. I wanted to have something interesting for people to look at during the reaction. I do not have it uploaded on it's own, just made it to use in this video.
I feel you 🤗
