Kun ovi sulkeutuu
on
avattava uusi ovi
ettei unohdu tuleen
makaamaan.

When the door finally closes,
a
new one must be opened
or stay lying down
in the
gunfire.

The Finnish saying
The Finnish saying jäädä tuleen makaamaan literally translates to "to stay lying down in the gunfire". Idiomatically, it means to give up, freeze up, or stay passively paralyzed after running into a setback or crisis instead of keeping moving forward and taking action. [1, 2, 3]
Origin and Context
Military roots: The phrase comes from military vocabulary and was famously popularized by Väinö Linna in his classic 1954 war novel Tuntematon sotilas (The Unknown Soldier), where an officer orders troops not to freeze or lie down under fire. [1]
Modern usage: Today, it is used broadly in everyday life—often in the negative (ei saa jäädä tuleen makaamaan / "you mustn't stay lying in the fire")—to encourage someone to get back up, face adversity, and fix a difficult situation rather than surrender to despair. [1, 2, 3]
I Wait for Autumn
After winter
comes summer,
But I wait for autumn.
Then proud people
Will be less proud.

Sed autumno expecto
Post hiemem aestas sequitur,
sed autumnum expecto.
Tum
homines superbi
minus superbi erunt.

About The photo in the video:
[Verse 1]
Я иду по улице,
и вспоминаю
тебя.
Я иду в центральный парк,
где
мы кормим птиц.
[Chorus]
Почему наша история
закончилась
слезами?
[Verse 2]
Маленький воробей
ест
зернышки с моей руки.
Я уверена,
что это ты.
Ты улыбаешься, утешая
меня.
[Chorus]
Почему наша история
закончилась
слезами?
Почему наша история
закончилась
слезами?

[Verse 1]
I'm
walking down the street,
and I
think of you.
I go to
Central Park,
where
we feed the birds.
[Chorus]
Why did
our story
end in
tears?
[Verse 2]
A
little sparrow
eats
seeds from my hand.
I'm
sure it's you.
You
smile, comforting me.
[Chorus]
Why did
our story
end in
tears?
Why did
our story
end in
tears?

Here is my latest ballad (2026-03-24). The lyrics and melody are mine. The singer and accompaniment are by Suno.ai.
Since Suno.ai is not a notation program, the melody is sent to it as an
MP3 or wave file. Then Suno.ai is told the intros, solos, and endings.
It does this by browsing its vast music library. Sending your own melody
is not necessary, i.e., Suno.ai can do that too, but your own melody
creates a sense of personality.
I have written the lyrics in Swedish.
Why should I fear death?
I have done my best,
And it has not been enough.
Now is my time to unite
With the eternal voidness
From the earthly voidness
without opening my eyes.

Note
Many people look down on people who use AI programs. Yet in my case, when I give the melody and the lyrics, I do the same things as when I have gone into the studio and sung the vocal part myself. The studio musicians have done the arrangements. I myself draw the line at using AI without any of my own input.
Many famous poets have had their poems composed, but not unknown ones. AI gives this kind of opportunity, which is a good thing. The art world is a rough battlefield, where grants and other opportunities are obtained through relationships. People who have come forward in this way are not necessarily better than those who have been left behind. Of course, when it comes to superior talent, he cannot be sidelined even if he has no relationships.
Here are the types of words and commands Suno.ai accepts in square brackets:
1. Song Structure & Sections
These tags help organize the flow of the song.
[Intro] / [Instrumental Intro][Verse] / [Verse 1], [Verse 2][Chorus] / [Chorus 1][Pre-Chorus][Bridge][Chorus: Interlude][Drop] / [Epic Drop] / [Beat Drop][Solo] / [Guitar Solo] / [Saxophone Solo][Outro] / [Fade Out] / [End][Interlude] 2. Vocal Styles & Techniques
These instruct the AI on how to deliver the vocals.
[Whispered] / [Whispered Intro][Spoken] / [Spoken Word] / [Conversational][Shouted] / [Gang Shouts] (common in punk/rock)[Screamed] / [Harsh Vocals][Ad-libs] / [Vocal Ad-libs][Harmony] / [Layered Vocals][Female Vocal] / [Male Vocal] (to switch singers)3. Instrumentation & Vibe
These define the musical accompaniment for specific sections.
[Acoustic] / [Piano Only][Heavy Guitar] / [Distorted][Drum Break][Bass Drop][Atmospheric][Fast Tempo] / [Slow]4. Advanced/Combined Tags
You can combine instructions for more precise control.
[Verse 2 - Emotional, soft][Chorus - High energy, piano][Bridge - Distorted spoken]Best Practices for Brackets
[ ] for structure/instrumentation, and parentheses ( ) for vocal delivery or background vocals.Note: While Suno often obeys these tags, they are not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, functioning more as suggestions to the AI model.
I wrote this lullaby in the early 1990s. I was on tour as a troubadour in Finnish Lapland. During that trip, I had several gigs that also featured Sámi songwriters. They sang their own songs and traditional yoiks. One morning after waking up in a motel, I grabbed my guitar, and the song, with its lyrics, was born from that sitting. At some point, I was shown a video of reindeer herds being released from their pens into the wild. At that time, the light was on its side because the sun had barely risen above the horizon and was quickly disappearing from view. There is a season in Lapland when the sun does not rise at all, but that phase was behind us. Other elements came from my dream, where I carried my son in my arms on the fells. When he was a baby and a toddler, I was a stay-at-home dad when I was not on gigs.
There is no such thing as death. There is only life, passing from one
person to another. What we call death is the end of a person’s life, not
the beginning of death. For death to exist, it must contain something.
But it is nothing, not even emptiness.
