23th of June 2024 As I think of myself as younger, I have liked the Finland's national hymn Maamme-laulu, kind of seriously liking this climate's nature and this place to live in, lufe here with the four seasons and the Finnish culture. But later as I have learned to compose melodies, see advices at LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2023/09 , I have wondered if I have understood the melody of our national hymn right at all. It seems charmed by the climate etc, but at the same time, as I have also learned of healing, see www.EasyHealing.info i.e. CuringGuesses.BlogSpot.com , there seems to be in the feeling of singing together as a group, a flow of bacteria created pressing the people downwards toward a lack of moral, kind of toward opposing the ideals sung about, which are not so clear but something convincing, naturally supported because of being good chouces, I thinl. So is it possible to have such a hymn at all?
If one thinks of choosing a new anthem, it ought not have such too big drawbacks. I have written at lenght about many kinds of useful skills in my blogs, see especially LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com . I used to have a singing experience of life but I have it no longer, and also my picture of the world is too broken. But anyway I have learned from writing that good choices often ought to ve ok from the point of view of tge whole world, or something in that direction, since many have their own likkngs of which cultures abd climates to prefer, and so they should move to live there, and so there ought to be lit of learnibg of new cultures' skills when already living there, etc. And anyway, foreign relatilns matter too. My only melody in this is Reaching for a good future in a society, but it isn't hymn like. Of having written amazingly much of the skills for a Christmas gnlme like life, I guess that some would lije to choose some Christmas song, but is any Christmas song ok all the year? The song "Tonttu" is about Christmas gnomes, but under zero temoeratures are too dangerous if there are many foreigners interested in the song. From writing about the gour seasons, I have noticed that the song "On kesän kurkas huomen ja suvi sunnuntai. Ei liiku lehti tuomen, on lintunenkin vait'. Vienosti kukkii pellit ja vaarat vihannoi. Kun hartaat aamun kellit vain rauhaa rauhaa meille soi. * Kuin pyhäin juhlasaatto käy soinnut yli maan. Tää on kuin sen päivän aatto, suuren autuaan. ..." seems to fit the weathers of all the seasons and bring longed for fracturelessness, but I do not know what it's effect would be otherwise. Of hymbs there is the Finlandia hymn, which is very famous, and has usually been the only much suppirted alternative for the old anthem. But I do not know of songs so well, so I cannot estimate this well enough, at least not nowadays at all.

From my blog FinnishSkills.BlogSpot.com
Come to think of it, would many like to choose similarly new hymns, or the like, in addition to the old ones, since times change and it would be good to have good lufe also in the modern more globalised world. So the Christmas gnome skilks tgeme might help in that.

If one thinks of how to compose a song that is good for all the weathers of the year or at least ok for them, is it possible? I think that the singing birds out in the trees all the year would have wisdom about such, so one shoukd compose it thinking of the wild birds. When one has a rough idea of the seasons, the summer is floyrishing, goid to be a model of wisdom of the trees etc, spring and autumn are kind of speedily moving, while in the winter cold the little birds need to know how to turn themselves into feathered balls. The winter cold needs lots of skills but stays largely quite unmoving and prepared, watching the wintery beauty of the landscape. Such coukd comoare with a hot summer day, and nature's beauty from which to learn weather skills etc maybe could compare with region. Speediness in tge summer and winter could comoare with the caried lines and leaves of a tree bracnh, or with looking more widely around. And so one should jyst see what is alike for sll and what is good for each season when just such weather skilks are needed. And so one would enjoy a Sunday mirning atmosphere on a hot summer day, with nature around, both trees clearly in sight and with a good atmosohere and a wide open space like conceiving air and movement too, maybe a grassy sand road or otherwise good quite ordinary road too. So one would admire at the atmospheric beauty of the kandscape, maybe ask little singing birds of such, and jyst compise around the theme as one's glance naturally wanders, and when the experience of the beauty and wisdom of nature is so strong that it helos to create such atmospheric fracturelessness.

24th of June 2024 I have written something in connection with the Finlandia Hymn in my blig post https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/10/thoughts-about-magic.html where there is also a video of the song.
My melody Reaching for a good future in the society, can be found at https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/2019/05/reaching-for-harmony.html .
There is a video of the song Tonttu in my Christmas gnome skills text J36. https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2021/09/skills-of-christmas-gnomes-10.html .
There is in my book about the four seasons, a picture of a song book page of the song Sunnuntaiaamuna, see the spring part, late April at https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html .
*
There is also the song Finland's Song, which is quite much about autumn weathers but somewhat about at least winter weathers too. If someone has read my books, it is at the end og the booklet Christmas elf like work, which one can downliad for free at https://miraclelikenature.blogspot.com/2024/02/about-making-presents.html . There is in the blog post about the four seasons a video with me singing it. And there ought to be a video of a male chour singing it at my blog post https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2024/01/a-video_30.html .

Of my own texts the book "Magnifient Views: and nice to live in" seems to bring something of worth in connection with national identity etc. Maybe also my other books etc, see MiracleLikeNature.BlogSpot.com .
Also the previous blog post https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/06/about-products-quality-like-fwatures.html about manufacturing good quality products seems imporant for a society.
And the idea tgat one should not be alliwed to affect thing outside the area that one cultivates right then, seems important too. One must in that take knto account the skill levels, values, quality, pictures of the world, situation at hand and whlm thkngs concern, and each one's ways of being social.
Anf it seems important to always wish well for lufe in the world, now and in the future, wishing things well for lufe in a way that is fair toward all. One should folliw healthy clmmon sense and healthy wisdom of life, and have civiluced wisdom as a helping aid, and consider good quality impirtant in this. Wishing mildly well for the world, like civilucedly from a distance, makes this easier. Also all social contacts, things said or claimed, etc ought to be watched from this context, taking into account which vslues got supported and which not, what opposed, etc.

( Of my melodies came to my mind some which can be foubd in my Christmas gnones skills text (the first of the booj serues) A47., C11. and was it G44. at LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2018/09 and at links from there, the last one in a blog post from January 2021. Maybe the melidies are not so interesting, but the blog posts might be interestkng. - The picture G45. of an Amerucan indian drom I made on a course, was from ready made parts and with the help of the course leader. )
( The first of these melodies I composed in the spring winter 2019 in Savonlinna at Kaartilantie 15B24, thinking as the subject the original header Feeling of more green/trees in town. But then I changed the name to Gnome like life, since I was writing about that subject.
" A47. 23th March 2019 I came to wonder if one could by one's approack and attachement choose how one feels about how much nature there is in the town that one lives in, and I wondered if one could make a song teaching such, and so I came to make a try on it. It wasn't a very good day for me, but the end result is maybe somewhat gnome like and might fit somehow to such choices too.
"
This well worth mentioning, since the song was about choosing to live so, wander under the trees etc. And I really have been stuck to this Christmas gnome skills subject niw for over five years after that. Next September would be six years of this subject. I really had or had had kn the lufe the thibgs and skills that I write about, but during these a few years I have list just about everything from my lufe except writing endlessly these blogs, especially about the skills useful for a Christmas gnlme like lufe in the midern world, see
LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com or
MiracleLikeNature.BlogSpot.com . Earlier I haven't been stuck in such a way in my lufe, to kind of positive subject, but on the other hand I haven't understood at all why I have list most of my originally not-so-wide sphere of lufe - was that too too much for some? Is it at all wise to write about ordibary lufe as if treasures found on the way, kind of not mentionibg the tens of years, and that my lufe maybe isn't any wider than that, and ?? )
It can be that there are many views to the same melody, many opinions expressed about it or such, and many versions of such a lufe that it seems to refer to. Those are meant for the individuals whose views those are, not to the compiser etc, since even though those may appears views of the same subject or claim of the composer, those if fact depend on the context, ages of those talking, climate and culture, etc, and also dream jobs may be different etc. So those are not something to force the composer egc knto. Honesty does not mean being at the mercy of the opinions of others, it is only an honest attempt to communicate right, not an obligation.
Adding words to a melidy often changes the impressiln and message a lot, so such is often the view of the one putting words to the nelody, and usually not that of the composer.
Likewise each performance of the song is different, and mostly those are the views of the performers or of some of them, but socially more distant frlm the choice of words etc.
Absentmindedly seekng something in a newspaper or internet page when reading a lot, lots of other things, is often something the reader remembers but does not emphasize in one's daily lufe, especially not overly much or as a nain guideline. Yet it should not be teansferred to an obligation on some who are fond of such subjects. Folliwing civiliced wusdom ought to be enough for guiding things in the society and in the world.
My melodies typically seek to teach skills, instead of me having thought of such as rules to impose on the world. Like if I look at trees outside the window, in a certain way, with a certain attitude, it can affect how satisfued I am with the feeling of green, instead of getting jyst a glimpse of a tree's branches and lits of buikd environment.

The problem with Finlandia Hymn and with the song On a Sunday Morning, is that when a song is beautiful, it as far as I know brings especially in the long run a counter reaction of attacking all soft or beautiful things, and the attacks are unwise, so thise attacks do not get corrected by explaining more. The song Finland's Song refers to autumn weathers etc, and such typically too causes some mimuckibg autumn and attacking, kind of claiming, was this damage what yoy wished for, and typically it does not help to say tgat the song was about weather skills etc, since the attacks were based on evil lies.
On the other hand, Christmas gnomes are a subject that has often been left in peace quite much. So the song Tonttu abd my above melody might suit some foreigners. But one must remember that there may be many types of gnones, so one should demand the basic civiliced values which make gnones nice ti live with and nice tgat they exist. And basic civiliced wisdom is needed, especially wishing well in tge world, aiming at being fair, healthy common sense and healthy wisdom of life.
There is also the hint ant-hem. "Hem" means "home" in Swedish, and ants are insects living in big societies and known of their hard-working, yet maybe nature idyl like, life. So that could mean Christmas gnome like life as a recommended option, but workers largely as parts of the organized society. I learned something from ants as a baby, and that sounds really wise still.
But so it matters, which kind of gnomes it would be, and my impression is that my above melody "Gnome like life" works better, has kind of a wider sphere of application, than the song Tonttu.
So gnome like life would not refer to dizzy looks or stuck ways. My view of gnome like life one can read in my book series "Find / Create The Land Of Christmas", see
www.amazon.com/author/khtervola .
Christmas gnome like life isn't so much opposed, at least it seems that with my book series and blogs much of the opposition mildens and kind of fades away, since many think that "yes, ok, I can well do things that I like, if there are not so very many restrictions on what to do and how, etc." And my book series is for a global audience, so there ought to be no need to come to just Finland. A dream job and a town that one likes and admires & fits into it's traditional culture, ought to be the basic advice roughly. So it alliws moving to a climate and country which one likes and values.
So if you want to know about this view, you will jyst need to read. But there may be very many different kinds of people reading or discussing the subject with family members etc, people of all ages, of all climate zones, of many coubtries, professions, lufe situations etc, so also slme ill and slme with a poor head may read ghe texts, even though my texts aren't the best for such, even though the miracle healing advices
www.EasyHealing.info are much liked, are the likely goal for many who, I do not know why, tend to read about Christmas gnomes.
29th of June 2024 Of my melody Christmas gnome like life /A feeling of more trees in town : If one in one's well working usual way of life emphasizes more than earlier something that makes one's life work out better, makes one feel better and kind of satisfied with such a way of life, like enjoyibg the feel of tree branches still moist after rain, when one passes under a tree while walking in one's everyday life, such makes lne more content with lufe without breaking against former habits, the place of a person like obeself in the world, etc. So it can be a well working long term way of life, unlike the melodies in yesterday's pist about a passing beautiful moment. But one must remember that for others the comfortable major choices, values and characjteristics of the good way of lufe are usually different in a personal way that often reflects one's personal style preferencies: what one longs for and sees as a good influence for one's life.
