Jenni Vartiainen - Lautturi (Ferryman) (English subtitles) (Finnish music)

From Vain elämää: Season 3, Episode 2 (aired September 26th 2014). Jenni Vartiainen’s cover of "Lautturi" is one of those renditions that hits you right in the feels. Originally a song by PMMP, a powerhouse Finnish duo made up of Paula Vesala and Mira Luoti, "Lautturi" takes on a new life in Jenni’s hands, and it’s a perfect example of how the show Vain elämää lets artists explore and reinterpret songs in ways that can be deeply personal. To give some background, PMMP was one of Finland’s most influential bands of the 2000s, blending pop, rock, and sometimes a bit of punk attitude into their music. Their songs often carried weighty themes, from personal struggles to social issues, but with a sense of energy that made them beloved by fans. Paula Vesala, who co-wrote many of PMMP's tracks, is a lyrical force, known for her poetic but raw lyrics that hit deep. “Lautturi” (meaning "Ferry Man") is no exception—it’s a haunting song that reflects on life, death, and the passage between them. Jenni Vartiainen, already a well-established artist in Finland, took on this song during Vain elämää, the TV show where artists cover each other’s tracks. If you’re familiar with the show, you know it’s all about reinterpretation—artists strip down songs or put their own spin on them, often giving the audience a whole new emotional experience. In her version of "Lautturi," Jenni leans into the emotional depth of the song but adds her signature ethereal quality. Jenni’s voice is soft and haunting, with this natural ability to convey vulnerability, which makes her cover feel incredibly intimate. While PMMP's original has a more expansive, almost cinematic feel with its instrumentation, Jenni’s version is stripped down and more minimalistic. This gives the lyrics space to breathe, and you can really focus on the themes of letting go and the inevitability of death. The contrast between the original and Jenni’s cover shows how two artists can approach the same material from completely different emotional perspectives and still stay true to the song’s heart. PMMP’s original version feels like it’s leading you through a storm, guiding you toward something unknown, while Jenni’s feels like the calm after the storm—reflective and still. The piano in her rendition adds a layer of fragility, and it’s almost as if she’s speaking directly to the listener, inviting them into this space of introspection. Then there’s Paula Vesala, the mind behind much of PMMP’s songwriting. Vesala’s lyrics are known for their depth, and "Lautturi" is no different. She’s a master of taking the personal and turning it into something universal. While PMMP was known for its energetic and often rebellious sound, Vesala’s words always had a profound emotional core, and "Lautturi" stands as one of her most introspective pieces. On Vain elämää, it’s not just about covering a song—it’s about the connection between the artists, the stories they tell, and the respect they have for each other’s work. When Jenni covered "Lautturi," you could feel the weight of that connection. Paula Vesala has long been respected in the Finnish music scene, and Jenni took on the challenge of honoring both the song and its creator, and she absolutely nailed it. In short, Jenni’s version of "Lautturi" is a perfect example of how Vain elämää can reveal new dimensions to songs we thought we knew. It’s a beautiful, stripped-down take on a haunting song, and through her voice, Jenni gives us a moment of reflection that sticks with you long after the song ends.
