Cleaning out cobwebs in Finnish: Hedningarna, Vargtimmen
Surprisingly despite dietary moments documented below and a need just to stare out the window in the middle of the night, I made it to almost 5 hours of sleep. The parking lot is weirdly magical at 4 am and clarity muddles out of a middle of the night email exchange.
For bedtime food, besides popcorn, grapefruit, peanut butter pretzels, and ice water. Always Ice water.
For bedtime prep, RantWoman has decided TO HECK with the comics performing alone in their apartments. RantWoman needs to clean out the cobwebs. RantWoman owns the album this song comes from, but darned if RantWoman can tell either what the lyrics mean or where to find a translation. Use yer search enginz!
Other miscellaneous note: RantWoman is fond of saying the only reason she would ever consider a sex change would be if she were extremely confident that she would come out with a nice male singing voice. That does not happen so enjoy the guys here.
Hednigarna is a Finnish group that performs music from the Finnish folk tradition. RantWoman has no Finnish ancestry whatsoever, but has been to Finland more than once. Once a group RantWoman was travelling with visited a nuclear power plant. That day there was a nice harmless small discharge of radioactive steam.
Post script: RantWoman has decided to take her own advice and use her search engine--on the title of the song.
Here is a Wikipedia article about Ingmar Bergman film Vargtimmen
In passing: the song appears to be in Swedish, not Finnish. Hednigarna is a Finnish group. Many Finns also speak Swedish for historical reasons.
The word means "Hour of the Wolf"
RantWoman is unsure which ear for linguistic nuance made her think the song might be in Swedish, perhaps the fact that RantWoman can pull out more roots she recognizes than if the song were in Finnish.
