Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat

After updating this journal, I often get this 'what the hell did I write it for?' feeling. Why did I feel like telling someone that I like this or that song or what I ate today or what my opinion on this or that matter is. Who cares about it, or especially, why do I care to share my opinions, tastes, thoughts... I know. I procrastinate. When I'm

I guess we can find a few more examples as for why talking on lj is better than in rl... Like, when I feel like letting people know I like some song, I can just post the video and those who want will check it out-- it's more comfortable than asking your rl friend to watch the video and you're not even sure if they are in the mood for it. I don't like socializing too much in rl, even when I'm in the mood for talking with people, bacause they usually want more and more of me-- you will meet with someone a few times, go to a party, and then they will keep calling and trying to talk you into going again and asking if there is something wrong with you if you don't want to go... XD I don't like getting too close with people. But I can be a clinging friendly retard when drunk so I may create an impression of a social, outgoing person to those who don't know better.

The song has an entry on wikipedia ;) It seems there are many versions... And sorry, Loituma's isn't the original.

"The song is sung in very heavy Eastern Savonian dialects spoken in North Karelia. It differs in many aspects radically from Standard Finnish.

The Loituma version of the song includes an intermezzo of phonetically inspired gibberish containing only a few Finnish words; it is not part of the original song written by Eino Kettunen."

The list of performers include Hatsune Miku, a vocaloid (a singing synthesizer software), lol

I should've recognised this... XD I did think that it had very familiar folk song melodies, but I just figured that other countries might have similar tunes. And maybe they do.

*lol* Okay so I could talk to you about all that "phonetically inspired gibberish" (something done quite a lot in Finnish due to our interest in phonetically rhyming lyrics even when nonsensical) and the dialects and everything, but I'm not really in the mood for now. Suffice it to say that my roots are in these areas and I'm very interested in traditional Finnish folk stuff like history, language aspects (etymology and development of language), culture, music and mythology and such stuff.
