Background of this song:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of the ’90s, I saw a dream where the dying tree stopped me and asked me to console her. The first thing in the morning, when I still remembered my dream, I opened my recorder and sang the story on the tape by accompanying myself on the piano. After the instant music session, I made only a few corrections to the lyrics and added the intro, which also served as an interlude. I called the song ”Yst\u00e4v\u00e4 voisitko kasvoni<\/em> pyyhki\u00e4<\/em>”(My Friend Could You Wipe My Face). <\/p>\n

In 1996 I made a Music Album, Hiljaisia lauluja (Tranquil Songs), <\/em>with a Finnish musician and my good friend Jouni Juola<\/em>. <\/em>Because the theme of the album was \u201cPerishableness ja calmness\u201d Yst\u00e4v\u00e4 voisitko kasvoni pyyhki\u00e4 was like it has made for it. Jouni sang the songs on the album, but we played the instruments together. Also, Jouni’s songs are on the album. This autumn (2014), when I translated the lyrics into English, I omitted the words My Friend from the title. I published the video on 6\/23, 2013. <\/p>\n

I included in this post both the lyrics and notes of the song. It takes more room on the screen, but I am sure those who like to follow notes will appreciate this effort. They don’t have to click on the other home page to see them.<\/p>\n
