The first Finnish song that my ears ever encountered

When I moved to
Finland in mid-June 2022 from crowded places like India and Hong Kong,
all I observed was quietness and a low number of people on the road as compared to
the countries mentioned above. As I lived a few tram stations away from Helsinki,
I would always rush to the Central Station area to soak myself in the hustle and
bustle of the city.
I remember experiencing
a tram ride for the first time in Hong Kong in the Hong Kong Island area while going
to the Hindu Temple in Happy Valley to celebrate Janmashtami. I wanted to
experience the difference between the trams of Hong Kong and Finland, that’s the
reason why I took my first tram ride to Lasipalatsi from Tooluntuli. During
those times, I was very interested in uploading small video clips as memories on
my YouTube Channel – Around The Globe.
The first Youtube short of Finland that I uploaded on Jul 7,2024 was that of my
tram ride to Lasipalatsi.
I decided to add the music of Ei Suomalaitset Tanssi
to the video which I received as an autosuggestion on YouTube. It was the first
Finnish song that my ears ever encountered and I absolutely loved it. It always
gave me the vibe of some singers performing this song live in a concert and I
was present there to get lost in the trance of this song.
Fast forward, to May
23, 2024, I performed
this song as a participant representing Ukulele Intermediate/Advanced
Group, in Spring Ukulele 2024 at Sello library. I had never imagined that I was
subconsciously attracting a concert and me, being a part of it. Yes, the Universe
always works wonders and backs us only when we dream and let go of all resistance.
