Themes

Mariska has stated that the main themes on the album are death and love. She had previously suffered from a fear of death, but has since then learned to value life and live every day like her last. The title Kukkurukuu was inspired by a Mexican song ”Cucurrucucú paloma”.[3]

Singles

The album has spawned three singles. "Liekki" was released in June 2012. Mariska has said that this song was inspired by both Leonard Cohen and her own heartaches.[4] The title track was released as a single in August 2012 and remains the only song from the album to have appeared on the Official Finnish Singles Chart where it peaked at number 16.[5] The third single "Kuolema on kalamies" was released in November 2012.[6]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: This is also a great reason to learn maths, since old things like calculus, logarithms and (some?) trigonometry were not things for much of history, so you could wow the people of the past (if you time travel there) with such concepts (if you ever manage to explain it to them).
gollark: When I was doing music (it was required in year 7/8) it was rather heavy on theory and not so much on creative pursuits.
gollark: Besides, the other options were things like "drama" and "music" and "design and technology", and who wants to do those?↓ the person below is attempting to deceive us into believing that music is a subject people do; do not believe their lies
gollark: If I ever end up being transported back in time by several thousand years, I'll have a minor advantage if I can actually remember anything, happen to end up in the appropriate era for the particular dialects covered, and do not horribly butcher the pronunciation, see.
