Review by Miyata Shinobu

Kirjeen Sulle Kirijootan: A Folk Gem from Finland That Still Resonates If you're the kind of person who digs deep into music that feels like it’s whispering secrets directly to your soul, then Eero Piirto’s Kirjeen Sulle Kirijootan is an album you need to hear. Released way back in 1980 under the Finnlevy label, this Finnish folk masterpiece doesn’t just sit there—it dances, sighs, and sometimes even punches you right in the feels. It’s raw, unpolished, and dripping with emotion. You can almost smell the pine trees and taste the cold air of rural Finland as you listen. Now, let’s get real for a second. This isn’t some shiny pop record designed to blow up charts or make TikTok trends. Nope. This is roots music—Folk, World, & Country vibes all rolled into one—and it hits different. The title track, "Kirjeen Sulle Kirijootan," grabs you by the heartstrings from the first note. There’s something about the way Piirto sings it—it’s not perfect, but that’s exactly why it works. His voice cracks just enough to remind you he’s human, like he’s telling you a story over a campfire instead of performing on stage. And man, does it stick with you. I found myself humming the melody days later, even though I don’t speak Finnish. Weird? Maybe. But also kinda magical. Then there’s "Eron Kyynel." Oh boy, this one's a gut-punch. Translation nerds will tell you it means "Tears of Separation," and yeah, they ain’t kidding around. This song is heavy. Like, “call your ex and apologize” heavy. Or maybe just cry alone in your car heavy. Either way, the sparse instrumentation lets Piirto’s lyrics take center stage. You don’t need to understand every word to feel the weight of loss in his voice. It’s haunting, beautiful, and honestly? Kinda hard to shake off once it sinks its teeth into you. What makes this album stand out isn’t just the quality of the songs—it’s how personal it feels. Listening to Kirjeen Sulle Kirijootan is like flipping through someone else’s old photo album. Sure, you weren’t there when these moments happened, but somehow, they still hit home. It’s messy, heartfelt, and full of life. So here’s the thing: if you’re looking for polished production or flashy effects, this probably ain’t your jam. But if you want music that sounds like it was pulled straight from the earth, then give this one a spin. Honestly, after listening to it, I started wondering if Eero Piirto ever thought his little slice of Finland would end up being streamed worldwide decades later. Probably not—but hey, here we are. Music has a funny way of finding people when they least expect it.
