Helsinki Complaints Choir

There's something about the contrast between what the music sounds like and what the words mean, that captured me here. Also, the universality of modern problems. Listen a little bit without reading the subtitles. Then start reading.

    Or with the lives of the poor in our less-socialist country, who can't afford to go the dentist at all:

    Is it just that many people have a tendency to complain, regardless of their cicumstances? Or is something truly wrong, albeit on a different scale in Finland than in Nigeria?
