Tom: Jacuzzi?
Tim: Not quite, no – if you can’t guess from the dots in the title (and you apparently can’t), this is Finnish pop, somewhat on the melancholy side but rather enjoyable.
Tom: Now, see, I’m in the US right now, and that appears to be pretty comprehensively geoblocked for me. Care to sum up?
Tim: Well, if you’d heard it you’d probably be thinking, what the hell happened there to make that key change happen, and those must be some very impressive lyrics. Well, I was, and fortunately there’s a rather competent Finnish lyric website and online translating tool available. Well, sort of – it choked a bit and is somewhat incomprehensible, but I did get that Jääkausi means Ice Age, and she’s singing to someone who she’s just realised isn’t going to change, and because of him she’s the goddess of persuasion.
I don’t really know, but basically, DRAMA. In case you didn’t get that from the music, and OH WHAT MUSIC. Nothing really happens until the first chorus (as is standard), but then it KICKS OFF. We all know I’m not generally one for an extended outro, but here I could listen to that last minute for at least another five.
