At home after a long day of work. On the vinyl Tapio Rautavaara sings "Juokse sinä humma". I mix blackcurrant juice with Finnish vodka. Sometimes my life feels like a Kaurismäki movie. Speaking of that - this is actually a screencapture of a video clip. But, in pure Kaurismäki style, pretty much nothing happens on the video =)

Nah, for some reason the link didn't work in the picture description. And at the moment I'm too tired (and drunken) to find out why. So here is the link to the video
For your next video adventure, try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sB0O_t4BCo What is he singing about in that song? From the video, I would assume it's about trapping in winter but for all I know it could be about taking a piss in an alley.
As for your video which that photo was taken from, well, maybe it says more then most hollywood blockbusters. Thanks for sharing!
Hehe, a good find, thanks for posting that link!
The story in this song goes roughly as follows:
First he mentions a girl who didn't want to come with him, and that's why it is only him and his horse riding a sleigh down a countryside road. The sky is getting darker, and he cheers the horse to keep running on. He praises his horse, as the horse it his only treasure, the best horse in the world. He ponders about his life, how he doesn't have a steady job so he has to drive down these roads finding seasonal work here and there to sustain himself. And in the last verse he knows that soon they will arrive at a small house where lives a girl with cherry lips, and that's where they are going to stop at. The song ends with that, it doesn't tell if he is going to settle down to live with that beautiful girl, or if that is just an another one-night stop for the wild guy who he is.
Best love song ever! haha I can relate since I have done all kinds of jobs over the years, from web design to oyster picking to retail to guitar manufacturing... 39 and still don't know what I want to do with my life to make money haha. Thanks for telling the story of that song. I like it.
