Honestly just saw the name Einar Selvik and clicked thinking this gonna be good.
It was.
I never get disappointed, he is so talented, is my hero
It wasn’t good. In fact it was absolutely amazing
Agreed I missed them in mcr UK this year I was gutted so much feeling in his voice sometimes not knowing the words adds to the power and emotion off the song deffo spiritual
It is. It forever will be.
@@firstimpressions1703 I'm looking at booking them next year when they return, they're coming to Cambridge, Manchester and London if you hadn't heard :-)
This man has an incredible talent- he has managed find the oldest, most beautiful traditions and brought them to light - to then uses his voice to bring out the purest, most ancient parts of our souls. Parts that remain untouched, causing grown men to break into tears and women's hearts flutter.
This man needs a million times more recognition then what he has.
I 💯👍
This is perfectly said
Well said. 👍
I agree
So magical 🙏🏻❤
Love your video's Jonna :) I didn't expect to find you in this comment section, but then again I'm not suprised! All the best to you!
It really is, just like you dear Jonna!
I think the same 😉❤🙏
Skål :D
OMG Joona hi, and blessings from Colombia!
The Gods are inside us, through the human nature of our actions. The Gods are outside, through the nature of the world. To meet the gods is to be true to our own self, and to be true with the world around us.
The moment Einar's singing gets guttural (2:45), my heart soars. Every time.
Yes, its something out of this world...

Buried in a world full of anger, death and fear, I find this. And in six minutes of absolute beauty, I find hope. Thank you for this.
At least Rãgnarok means the destruction of the Yggdrassil and the nine worlds let by a completly restoration of the universe for a new cicle.
Hope can always be found for those who seek it

It's insane people don't open their minds and try and seek out more amazing music like this. Just blows my mind.
People are allowed to like different things than you do, it is immature to spend time worrying about other peoples personal preferences.
This man holds his ground against a whole choir... Strong voice and great song...He was the perfect choice to participate on the soundtrack of Vikings ...He lifted those series toward Cult level ( Ragnar too , of course or Mr Fimmel)
This man like a best friend that I never meet in person
Perfect time of the year to start listening to this song again
Those who never stopped welcome you
@@amoral_minority Agreed
Yes! It’s seasonal right? I feel it!
That would be any time between January 1st and December 31st!
@@JoeyDediashvili Yes
Einar is a force of nature. With an orchestra behind him, he's the whole storm. Love it!
This music allows you to travel thousand years back and feel the different world with different people. Greentings from Russia.
He’s one of the few artists that sound better live than in the actual song
His voice and music stir up something deep within me that I cannot explain. It gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. I'm so happy to see that it does this to so many others as well. We are all connected. We are all one. The Great Awakening for humanity is well on its way ❤️
The Völuspa (the lyrics here) is an ancient poem of the story of creation and the end of the world and its rebirth as told to Odin by a völva. Of course it speaks to old souls! 😊
I met Wardruna through my partner. He passed away a year ago and every time I hear Einar I undersantand the reason he was fascinated whit this music. This makes me feel he is near. Greetings and blessings from Mexico 🙏🏽👍🏽
The original song is one thing, but the orchestral version.... The strings and voices kicked in, and I started crying.
I can't feel anything else other than an immense sense of proudness for him. There is no way he started Wardruna expecting how big it would become. Sixteen million views on Lyfjaberg and I'm still in shock about it. He really has made the gods proud.
Lol so famous
The Gods themselves were present during the performance of this song..
Einar Salvik, when he performs, his voice is like an intrenched & very familiar echo that reaches into the core of my soul. To me it feels like a call to come home.
This orchestral version is sensational ! I get emotional whenever I listen to this song. ❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Einar, thanks to be in this world ⚔️
Damn...I just cannot truly understand how awesome Einar is. To think this is the same guy who used to be Gorgoroth’s drummer hahaha!! Wardruna’s music is one of the main reasons to be alive. So stoked to have yet one more version of this song. That makes four. Skål everyone!
People who dislike this song have no understanding of the music.
I dont dislike the song just this version its way better with Einar alone
@@toxicwaste9908 no, this version is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in music history
@@pouks why lol?
@@pouks this music is sooo beautiful
People who disliked this video never watched Vikings.Thats the true answer
This has to be the single finest piece of Scandinavian music I have ever heard in my life.
The beauty of Wardruna and Einar Selvik; they do not need a choir/ orchestra behind them. I love the instrumentals and skaldic versions they do
I'm just speechless. This song has always been a favorite of mine. The orchestra and the passion in your vocals just elevated it. Chills, tears and joy. Thank you so much for your beautiful music ❤️❤️❤️
it's only 4 notes but to play them over and over in time you have to be a machine, and he's singing too... i dont know why i find that more impressive than someone shredding.
Det är väldigt roligt för mig att efterkommande av människor som försöker förstöra vår religion , folksånger och epics älskar och äger våra låtar , vår religion och vår historia med stor beundran . Einar ❤️
Just when you think Einar cant out do his self, challenge accepted.
Mr Einar, THIS is the best version of the song! Skål!
Without ochestra this song is so damn epic, but the genius Einar Selvik found a way to make it even more epic !! Thanks a lot Einar for being such a great musician !!!
I honestly got chills listening to this. Einar is such an incredible musician and this ensemble works so well.
Wardruna is such a primal and deeply human force. But seeing Einar in this modern classical setting only deepens his power. 30 or 40 musicians supported him, and everyone was playing their charge! But he still managed to rise on top and command the attention of the room…
Where has this music been all my life? Yes, complete my album.
How dares to dislike this???
Are they incapable of ... FEEL???
its the saxons
Heed my words, all classes of men
You greater and lesser children of Heimdall
You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall
Of the oldest deeds of gods and men
The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea
The bright stars fall out of the sky
Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil
A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds
Brothers will fight one another and kill one another
Cousins will break peace with one another
The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it
Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles
Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel
The wolf will break its bonds and run
Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead
Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks
I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight.
Thatched with gold at Gimlé
There bold men will dwell
And enjoy cheer throughout their lives
Is that the translation? Wow... amazing, thank you!
I found 3. This one seemed to be the closest.
@@brandubh11 the translation to english can be found on the original version on Wardruna's account in the info button of Voluspa. It is pretty much the same. Einar took some of the Voluspa from the Prose Edda when Odin speaks to a seer about the future of the Gods and Goddesses of the Aesir and Vanir
Thank you!
U are in valhalla , i know
Again, speechless. Medicine for the soul
This is my first youtube video comment ever, and this performance made me do it. Loved it !
Nevermind the quantity of versions of this song I've heard, every time it takes my breath away. This is perfect.
The gods sent us Einar so that we would not forget them. Thanks for the creativity.
Every time I hear this version makes me nostalgic from a place I’ve never been …
I'm soooooo touched! I almost dropped my weights at the gym! This was so magical and stunning. Man I've never heard something so completed my entire life! How is this even possible!
this kind of music has history in some way. and he is one of the most powerful voices out there in our generation. if this not touches you in any way whatsoever... im afraid your soul maybe doomed. ;)
I guess this is what it feels to be homesick about a place you've never been to. I love Vikings and the Old Norse mythology!
Just so so good. Fucken tears and shivers man.
Man I'm reading your comment with my stone's reach t shirt on ❤️ glad to see it here.
@@mreddyfeelgood Hahahahaha i legit have mine on right now aswell
Wow HAHAHA so glad to hear that mate!
@@mreddyfeelgood hopefully some new material from the boys soon. Stay safe brother.👍 Its a crazy rabbit hole melodic metal leads you down.
Beautiful and soul stirring. So glad to have found Wardruna
An absolute masterpiece! This song always makes me cry but this version was so epic. Einar, thank you for blessing the world with your music and being so humble about it.
Eu ouço Einar pelo menos uma vez ao dia. Obrigado por mostrar ao mundo esse gênero musical tão bonito e único. Creio que os deuses nórdicos te presentearam por um motivo especial. Abraços do Brasil!
In English: I listen to Einar at least once a day. Thank you for showing the world this beautiful and unique musical genre. I believe that the Nordic gods presented you for a special reason. Hugs from Brazil!
Ive never clicked on the like button so fast in my life. What an amazing performance!
I’m so proud of my Scandinavian ancestry when I listen to this.

I feel Einar's music make way through my veins.
This song just touched my soul..
You know it's Real art when words can't describe how it makes you feel when you experience it..
Would enjoy a whole Album with Orchestra! This is so magical that you sink in while listening. LOVE IT !!
Truly one of the best Vocal singers on earth,number 1 for me definitely!!!! Hope to see him one day live
When Einar sings, it's as if a thousand years of anguish are released in one glorious, melancholic moment.
Мурашки пробежались по мне табуном... чуть не затоптали.
Ive never clicked so fast in my life
the same. good to have notification system)
Never liked a video faster, as soon as the music started and he opened his mouth I was hooked
Me too!
What you mean ? You didn’t like it ?
I didn’t think this song could be made any more amazing.
His words are like roots to a giant ancient tree as they grow they pluck at the strings in our hearts, it's the call of our pagan roots for sure!
The blood rushing through my veins..... The calling of my Ancestors..... Whom I long to be with. Einar has the sound of Asgard behind him. Absolutely beautiful & The feeling is.... Cannot be defined.
Thank you Einar & keep this sacred tradition well & alive forever.
Gods almighty. Never saw the choir coming. Brilliant rendition, the orchestra doesn't overwhelm Einar but its still very present, giving him sustainment. Every single hair on my body is standing!
Видно когда человек не просто знает о чём поёт, А поёт именно душой!
Please please please more orchestral compositions in the future! This mixture is amazing! 👍
Best Einar-version of Völuspá ever! Einar is the man who's talented enough to sing this poem. Standing there as a true skald. One word: BEAUTIFUL! 👏👊💪👍
This song just hits me in the heart I dont know why ....I feel some type of way listening to this like my home is calling me
I don’t have words to describe this, just amazing... Thank you 🔥
Can't wait to see him November 2022 in Dallas TX
It will be a long story, but i hope Wardruna will read it, because i am so grateful for their music. I always searched the reason of my life, of my exist and my place in this world. But i never found it.
I always had interest about nordic cultures, about the scandinavain culture. But the true eye opening moment was, when i heard Wardruna at first time. Since that moment - which was around in 2018 - there is no day without Wardruna. Even if i'm not listening the songs at the moment, i hear it, and it is touching my soul.. something ancient.
Now, thanks for this amazing and magical music, now i know my place in this world. And i know my soul is belong to something old, to something which is almost got forgotten.
I found the Love of my life thanks to Wardruna and Heilung. She is the most perfect women whoever i met.
My biggest dream to see and hear Wardruna in live, i hope once they will visit Hungary, or i can visit a place where they have concert near to me.
Thank you for your amazing work, and thank you for changing my life!
Thank you Wardruna! Thank you Einar Selvik!
This mans voice is just on another level 😍❤️❤️❤️every time I hear it it just takes me to another place it’s so magical 💕
Piece of my ancestry preserved by this amazing artist a gift from the gods bestowed upon you einar Skól
Einar, you got an incredible Viking voice, a gift from the Gods!! Thanks for the magic once again :)
wow... both versions are great but in this one, when the strings and the choir enter, i get goosebumps and i tear up, this is so powerful!! i wish this was on spotify!
T.T .... pure awesomeness, whenever i hear him sing i just drift into a trance
Fantastic, Einar Selvik never disappoints
Such a shame there was no audience clapping because of the pandemic
I can picture a group of Vikings trekking through the snow and there is a harsh wind blowing. Wow-you never cease to amaze me with your vocals Einar, blessings to you ♥️😌♥️
Quanto Brasileiro, que orgulho em saber que em meu pais tbm existe bom gosto.
One moment I was in my living room clicking "play", the next I was on a longboat heading for a coastal English village
I'm in that English village I have blue eyes and fair hair and that stirred my soul. Maybe I have found my forefathers.
Even the out-of period/character backing can't diminish the power of his performance of my favourite of his songs.
Pure beauty and power of Northern soul and spirit!
If only the video wasn't so quiet this would be perfection.
I honestly do believe that Odin lives in your voice, Einar. You make some of the *GREATEST* music the world has Ever heard. That I've ever heard. I've bought all of your albums.
This was Great!
I'll be honest, at first the Orchestra I wasn't super in to at first. But when the Choir came in as well, that is when I really felt it.
For all people says that we are living in the worst age of music... listen this
I really want to buy an album of this entire performance. It's power is beyond description.
Música preferida do Meu Amado Viking🔥
Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷
Épico!!
Literal tears, goosebumps and chills. The Allfather is with you Einar, speaking through you!!
This made me cry just now, after having listened to it hundreds of times it hasn't happened. Not sure what happened lol.
What a masterpiece, i Love it... Grand Orchester, grand voice.... please come to Germany with the orchestra
We need an orchestral album
Потрясающее исполнение! Спасибо большое за Ваше творчество! Желаю вам Эйнар удачи и всех благ! Храни вас Бог!
the power in Einar's voice simply grabs me and turns me inside out.
Imagine world without Einar and his music
D: noooooooooo
Шедевральное исполнение!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
This gave me goosebumps the whole time and his voice in the last lines brought me close to tears
Thank you for this audio magnificence
Much respect from South Africa 🇿🇦
MERVEILLEUSE DECOUVERTE grâce à Messire LUC ARBOGAST sans le savoir avec le mot RAÏDO , c'est superbe comme le chanteur ! Merciiiiii
Einar is in a class of his own.
And all of a sudden day become much better.
Que perfeito. Cadê os brasileiros com bom gosto musical?👏😍❤

What a powerful voice, if even the choir and orchestra are covered by it! Einar is absolutely incredible! Tears come from the beauty of the performance...
