Finnish musician, philosopher, and author Lauri Järvilehto returns with his latest album, Songs About Sadness. A deeply personal collection of indie pop and electro-rock, the album draws from Järvilehto’s diverse life experiences, exploring universal themes of time, identity, and the search for meaning in a world that often feels quietly complex. 

Songs About Sadness marks a significant moment in Järvilehto’s musical career, blending his extensive experience as a professional musician with his more recent work as a philosopher. The album features a blend of introspective melodies and experimental soundscapes, inspired by the storytelling prowess of David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and the experimental spirit of Björk and St. Vincent. The result is a unique mix of seasoned depth and contemporary exploration, with a sound that is both familiar and fresh.  

In a nod to his Finnish roots, Järvilehto’s music carries a quiet introspection, characterized by space and contemplation. While deeply personal, the themes resonate with anyone seeking meaning in their own lives. The album features two collaborations with his daughter Silja, giving the songs a multi-generational depth that highlights the shared experiences between father and daughter.  

“Songs About Sadness, is about different forms of sadness and melancholy,” Järvilehto explains. “The last five years I’ve felt somewhat disconnected from life, which I’ve channeled into my musings on both my own journey and the state of the world. The good thing about being a musician is that when life hands you lemons, you can write songs about lemons.”

The album’s “A-side” explores themes of family and the challenges of balancing fatherhood, marriage, and life’s many responsibilities. Tracks like ‘Typhoon’ offer a personal pep talk, while ‘Maze’ reflects on the search for meaning and faith. The “B-side” dives into social issues and global reflections, with songs like ‘My Little Butterfly’, ‘Fair Insight’, and ‘Whippoorwill’. The focal point of the album is ‘Moomin Weather’, which encapsulates the overarching message of the album: life is not just about joy and pleasure; it is also about the quiet moments, the struggles, and the melancholy.  

“Life doesn’t have to be all about pleasure and happiness,” says Järvilehto. “Sometimes it’s okay for things to be rainy and grey. Life is best when it is experienced in its entirety.”  

The album marks a turning point in Järvilehto’s creative process. While he has spent much of his professional life as a researcher focused on AI and the human mind, his musical journey for, Songs About Sadness, took a different direction. For the first time, Järvilehto plays all the instruments on the album – drums, basses, guitars, pianos, keyboards, synthesizers, and drum machines – and he personally programmed every sound. This more organic approach, he says, allows him to express his deepest emotions in ways that go beyond the digital.

“The act of playing and sound design has been incredibly stimulating,” says Järvilehto. “It would have been silly to outsource this process to a machine.”

Two tracks, ‘The Days We Forget’ and ‘My Little Butterfly’, feature a special guest appearance by his daughter Silja as a vocalist. ‘Whippoorwill’, another standout track, features a riff originally played on acoustic guitar by his younger brother Paavo, who also designed the album cover, based on a photo taken by Heidi Strengell.  

Mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London by Christian Wright, Songs About Sadness, is a journey through the highs and lows of life, offering listeners a space to reflect, grow, and find solace in the music.  

“Songs About Sadness, is a dive into the deep end of life,” Järvilehto concludes. “I’m truly grateful to have taken this journey and to share these songs about my experiences.”  

Songs About Sadness, is available now on all major streaming platforms.
