Jokivarren Tietäjä (Tulisoihdun Kantaja)

Riverside Seer (Fire torch bearer)

I wrote this one a couple weeks ago. I imagined an old seer rowing his canoe on a river. I have allways been inspired by the nature and ancient things...

Thanks for your listening!

Really beuatiful sound, love the vox and guitar,just an excellent song.

[Oldrottenhead]

this is fantastic i dont understand a word but you are painting pictures for me kari.

[Davo]

Great work, I like the reverb on the acoustic guitar-very fantasy-like.  Can you tell us what the words mean?

[hooper]

Very nice. I especially like the double-tracked vocals during the chorus(?)

Stunning Kari!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Guitar is beuatiful, and the vox is perfect!!!!!!!!

Sounds Soooooooo Good!!!!

[Redler]

Can you tell us what the words mean?

This is just a pop song without serious consideration. I tried  translate the lyrics and my simple view is this:

The weak leaves on trees
but the roots are strong
trees are looking at the waters flow
October is playing winter

Ad ancient seer, fire torch bearer
rowing the river downwards by his canoe

The trees, commanded by the wind
forcing towards shore
or not those trees
but the wind will

Chorus:

Riverside seer (fire torchbearer)

He crosses his sooty fingers
put his head in deep bowing
the day ends until 'amen'
until a silent pray

into the calm sleep
falls the seer
the canoe is waiting for a new morning

Chorus:

Riverside seer (fire torchbearer)

Hopefully you understood this. If someone likes correct these to 'good' english, I'd be grateful.

[OsCKilO]

The images that you use in your song are so powerful!

Very cool!!!!

Wow Kari, this is beautiful.  I have a soft spot for these types of songs. Can imagine drifting down a river. And seeing the leaves in the trees. Just beautiful!!
