In honor of Finland's Independence Day, I am asking you guys to listen to these two songs and tell me which one is better. This is important, trust me. Finns can also answer.

I'm so so so happy seeing people starting to learn finnish, finding new finnish bands to listen to, searching for the english translation to finnish songs and generally being interested in finland and/or finnish, all because of käärijä

During the Finland rituals on the re-imperatour this summer, Papa used the words 'Finland' and 'Suomi' (the name of the country in the finnish language) interchangably, but he said Suomi a lot more i think.
Idk i just think it's really neat how he used the country's finnish name more than the english one, not to mention the whole "suomi finland perkele" thing (his pronounciation was also very good btw). Like. It's weirdly kind of heart warming to me? to see him show such respect for my country, especially considering the fact that the guy under that mask is swedish.
Okay for those who don't know: sweden and finland have a long and fairly negative shared history (long story short, finland was a part of the swedish kingdom for over 600 years. During the colonization of finland, the swedish imposed their own language, religion and way of life onto finns). And nowadays most swedes don't even speak a lick of finnish nor do they know anything about our culture, meanwhile finnish kids are still forced to learn swedish in school eventhough it's a minority language. Most of the time when finland and/or this history is brought up in conversation with a swede, they'll probably be like "oh yeah we owned you lol".
So to have Papa/Tobias, a swedish guy, show open respect for finland by using its native name (and going as far as to reference a distinctly finnish in-joke) during a concert in finland just makes me happy idk. Most swedes just don't care but Tobias clearly does and i find that really neat

How does spoken Finnish sound so harsh like you’re summoning a demon but when people sing in Finnish, it sounds so good?? There has to be a scientific explanation for this
