Yö – Swan Song

Author: Jussi Hakulinen 1984. Rumor has it that he wrote it to his mother when still a teenager!

This song commands great respect within the Finnish music community. E.g., the well-known singer Suvi Teräsniska, who recorded an album of Yö songs, did not dare touch the Swan Song, calling it “sacred”.

Finally, it may be noted that in 2005 during concert Hakulinen suffered an epileptic fit. One wonders if his condition is positively related to his creative genius, as suspected for some other artists.

Again you see the children in the yard under your window playing their games and again you stay at your place at the window stay at the window You fly back through the years those memories overwhelm you day by day they’re looking for a Swan Song singer again looking for a singer again Those moments from birth to death projected on your eyelids make some believe in God maybe some in Satan, or in whatever but, however, not in this world we live in You once also found it that love worth half a century you found it easy being happy being happy What do you do now with your instincts? when the birds have flown from their nest just photos yellowed with the years remain that you leaf through again and yet again You may not crave my pity it will not ease the pain it is that pain which writes this song that pain will catch up with anyone that pain will catch Your veil of sorrow, you see five years ago it would still breathe back then the Swan Song made you weep made you weep

you’d like to be the way you were then, when you were wearing a white veil it fell already underfoot of time just like you [Flute solo, Eeva Kontu] I would like to try so that I then remain afloat when I see the river flooding its banks see the river flooding

Trying to gender bike lanes and climate change as feminine is the sign of a weak, frail, talentless man. #SeanDuffy has no credentials for his job and it shows. The guy least qualified is always the diaper-kissing MAGA sycophant.

LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO CAME TO THE UNITED STATES thirty-five years ago—a few years too late to benefit from the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, popularly known as the “Reagan amnesty.” He worked in construction. By the 2000s, he was a small business owner who provided jobs and work for other men. They would drive to the North Houston suburbs and build houses. His dream was to build his own home for his family one day—a dream he achieved.
