Ahava by Haltia (Now, on YouTube)

[Redler]

Hi!

This is the first time when Haltia (Päivi and me) perform our song on "band version"; guitars, bass and drums! The song is about early spring, sun, melting snow, dirty windows and increasing amount of light....
Recorded on MicroBR.

Thanks for listening!

Kari

Ahava

Paista kevättalven aurinko
Sulata karkea lumi
Tuule maaliskuun ahava tuuli
Haihduta kuiviksi kadun kivet
Ja tunne ihan pieni kevään kosketus

Tule rauhaton kirkas valo
Paljasta likaiset ikkunat
Jotka tulevat silmieni eteen joka kevät
Tunne ihan pieni kevään kosketus

Bridge:

Tee kotisi levottomaan rintaani
virtaa purona vuolaana valoisaan iltaani

Kanna aamun hanki kepeät jalkani
Soi soliseva vesi sävelinä korvissani
Tuoksu levännyt vanha maa
Tunne ihan pieni kevään kosketus
Ihan pieni kevään kosketus

Bridge:

Tee kotisi levottomaan rintaani
Virtaa purona vuolaana valoisaan iltaani

 magic, but don't you just hate the sun shining and showing up the dirt on your windows.

fabulous guys, Päivi has a fantastic voice and i love how she rolls her R's (careful how i say that no pun intended). piepod bound absolutely fabulous.

[Nelson]

As always Kari, you've done a masterful job with music and the arrangement.
Guitar tones are really sweet and the production is crisp.

Paivi has such a soothing voice, I can almost see the light through the dirty windows.  

Enjoyed the listen.

[Jarle]

Nice song. Päivi has a great voice.

magic, but don't you just hate the sun shining and showing up the dirt on your windows.

If you don't like it you could just go outside

Wonderful piece of music from you both. Ticks all the boxes, playing, vocals and production are all top notch.........Willie

[Tangled Wires]

Great song, and nice use of the SQR TR Patch on the BR Kari, never used it myself on a song but it is the perfect match here.

I'm picking up too on that wonderful melodic punchy bass line too, it holds everything together beautifully and love how it weaves its way around the guitar chords.

The breakdowns are perfectly placed too, and provide a really nice change of pace and contrast with the main parts of the song.

The vocal is out of this world!

Very uplifting sounds, oozes positive vibes :-)
