Omg. What a beautiful ending.
Reviews for "Yötön Yö"
Wow!
Structure's amazing. Builds up really nice.
Vocal melodies, percussion and that sequenced blurry synth in the background are amazing.
I can imagine the effort that went in this one. ...right? :3
Chorus has great impact + is so catchy and tribalish.
Things I didn't really like was that lead at 2:38 and that background 'ravy' synth at the final chorus. Maybe something less 'harsh' would've fit better.
To sum up, this was really enchanting experience.
Love your voice and sense for structuring the piece.
And yeah, Finnish adds that extra magic, that's for sure.

Ah I didn't get a notification for this, for some reason! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Funnily enough, the ravy synth was my favourite part of it :D
Thank you for reviewing <3
I like the organ at the beginning. The progression gets brighter as the intro moves along, and the percussion at 1:03 was a great touch. The mix is a bit quiet, but otherwise quite clear and crisp. Your lyrics are always so spiritual, Jordi. I commend you for taking on an immense challenge with the linguistic requirements here. ;) One instrumental choice that caught me off guard was the plinkish sound at 2:35 - is that from the organ too? Somehow it didn't quite fit the rich chordal atmosphere of the song in my mind. Excellent work with the sense of emotional height by around 3:35, though. This piece comes together very well, and I thought your choice of a rather melancholy final chord was strangely refreshing.
Sorry for not reviewing this sooner, and congratulations again on all your hard work over the course of the ADM! ^_^
