summeryyy

Such a nice summer it's been. I've done a couple of new songs, visited Provinssirock and Ruisrock, hanged out with my friends and relaxed for so many days at our summer cottage. Been living there for weeks. Just today I came home from my friend, we were at her place with a bunch of friends for the weekend to celebrate her birthday and had so much fun. Swam in the lake and the swimming pool, watched Moomins and Disney stuff and ate the most wonderful food... great, great, great.

I'm starting to rehearse for fall gigs in August with my band Spark and I am super excited about it. They will be the most awesome electro pop gigs Helsinki has seen. At least I'll try.

I'm having an acoustic gig next Wednesday night at 7 pm in Ruttopuisto, Helsinki, and I'll be playing for about 30-45 minutes. Or until a picniccer loses their mind on me. Yiihaa! Come hear 7-8 Spark songs, old and new!

Yauzaa.



And still, and maybe more than ever, I feel this song. The lyrics sound too much like me, and now you know a lot of me. Yay.

I always say

Google knows me.

I know not Google.

Status update ;)

Hi, been off lately. Lost my interest in writing this blog.

So much has happened... and still so little. I've completed my EP which I have been working on for the last one and a half year. It's in the very last phase of post-production and will be ready on Monday. That is the day when we start hunting for people who might be interested in my musical ventures. We have nice plans, we have the image for the project done and we still need to write a biography and get the last versions from mastering. They sound awesome, I tell you. "17 yo guy making 80's british synth pop styled stuff. Cool!", someone said.

I've had the time of my life, been really happy the last few weeks. I'm surrounded with lovely people and I'm really... blessed. Not religious at all but that is a word probably the most suitable, still. Sun's been shining, it's been extremely hot and I've been seeing nice people. And it all started from a choir concert evening where I hanged out with two cool friends I had not hanged out with that much before. Since then I've been feeling really good.

Now the summer holidays started and I'm afraid I start feeling empty. I won't be seeing the awesome people EVERY day which is sad. I don't have a lot to do. Friends are abroad, at their cottages, on different camps and such. The music project doesn't carry on in a blink of an eye, it needs time from now on. We only need to wait now for people to contact us.

What I could start doing to keep myself sane would be to write new songs. I've just been too happy to write songs. It's easier to write about downside stuff. But now that I have time to write I know I will get inspired soon and write something I've never done before. I am very ambitious, I want to be better than I am. For example Bruno Mars' new album has stuff I could think of trying to write. Or then something like Studio Killers' Jenny. I have a lot of choices.

I've been listening to some old demos and will start developing them next week. There are songs such as "Ghost", "Desperado", "I Don't Wanna Be Friends", "Save Me", "Strangers" and "Together Till The End". Also I have made a short clip that's called "By All Means".

But yeah. The EP is done now and maybe you'll hear a clip of some song in some point!

ville valo

Okay, Ville Valo is the poet of the poets. The symbolism that fountain from inside of him is astonishing. Now he described one of his new songs on a track-by-track video as the following:

"I was thinking of life as a vinyl. You know, you kinda put the needle on and then you don't want to shake it too much so it doesn't skip - but it does skip, when you mess about, when you fuck up. And then, in one point it ends and you try to rewind it, change the tempo, from 78 rpm to 33 and everything between."

What the hell, really? He has had a lot of free time lately to think of this kind of symbolisms and I just can not stop admiring his brain.

cool cool cool

Sydämen sulamisonnettomuus (Liquefactio cordis) on sydämen sairaus, jossa ihmissydämessä majailevien tunteiden määrä kasvaa niin sietämättömän suureksi, että koko elin sulaa lörpsähtää. Tautia on esiintynyt läpi tunnetun historian, joskin yleisimmillään se oli viktoriaanisella, näennäisen tiukan tapakulttuurin ja pöhkönkirjallisuuden aikakaudella. Nykyään sydämet usein karkaistaan pian valamisen jälkeen sulamisonnettomuuksien ehkäisemiseksi.


Ain't it cool? What a finding.

Wanna feel a meltdown, thank u.

big questions in the night

Mitä teen? Mihin meen?
Olen jäänyt satimeen
enkä saa
unelmaa
poljen vettä seisovaa
Jotain suurempaa
Jotain parempaa
Odottaa
En voi vielä luovuttaa

Taisto kuningas on pajatson

Have been kind of out of reach lately. I shouldn't reveal it but I've been trying out a human test; I haven't sent a single message to anyone but one friend of mine, I watch if people make contact themselves. I know it may feel rough but feels like the right thing. And out of the people that I've been in close contact lately some have made contact.

twice

guess I love to do same things twice, gotta 'repost' a song.



This song is freaking genius. The composition is catchy and the lyrics are clever.
"Genius is man, this", said Yoda never.

When I was a kid, the things I did, were hidden under the grid
Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid
With regret, I'm willing to bet, you say the older you get
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget

It gets under your shirt like a dagger or work
The first cut is the deepest, but the rest will flippin' hurt
You build your heart of plastic, get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own

'Cause I love to feel love but can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, no

So what's the point in getting your hopes up
When all you're ever getting is choked up
When you're coked up,
And can't remember the reason why you broke up
You call her in the morning
When you're coming down and falling
Like an old man on the side of the road

'Cause when you're apart you don't want to mingle
When you're together you want to be single
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
That made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is
With those rose tinted glasses
But the butterflies, they flutter by
And leave us on our asses

'Cause I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction

There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
'Cause all I want to do is try to make a connection
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh

Seems Passenger had only One Direction.
Lolz.
