It is exactly what it is Gåte are mixing folk and rock,with a 1000 year old poem and the style Gunhild is singing is called kulokk/herd calling that has roots at least a 1000 years. They are singing in a mix of dialects and old Norwegian and are very popular here in Norway have won a lot of music awards and have been doing their own thing for 20 years
The chorus is actually a kind of a spell. It’s inspired by a Norwegian cattle call. The story of the song is from a thousand years old Norwegian (Scandinavian(?)) fairytale, about, probably, the first mentioned werewolf.
The way she sings her "shouting notes" is from traditional Norwegian folk music and can be described as some kind of calling sound «lokk», a sound which is supposed to reach far in nature (forest or mountain) so it needs to be loud. Its kind of a Scandinavian yodling-sound used also to call for a herd (sheep, cows etc) but also a calling sound used in folk tradition or by super natural beings like the «Huldra» to «trick» humans and animals to appear in the forest/mountains. Gåte's music style is described as Norwegian folk music that is a fusion of metal and electronica. Gåte bases their music on traditional music, vocal folk music with texts from very old times. "Ulveham" is based on a text from the Middle Ages, but they had to change the lyrics. The song is a story of a young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her. A stepmother is jealous of her stepdaughter who everyone likes and thinks is very beautiful, so the stepmother tries to turn her into different things...a needle, a knife, a sword. She casts a spell on her stepdaughter. Whatever she turns her stepdaughter into, people like it, so in the end she casts a wolf spell on her and banishes her to the forest, and the only way she can get out of the bewitchment is to drink her brother's blood. Later, the evil stepmother meets the wolf out in the forest and the wolf rips out the heart of the stepmother and eats it, and then it turns out that the stepmother was pregnant with her half-brother, so she drinks her brother's blood and becomes free. It is simply about free yourself from someone who has power over you, and you do it on your own terms.
It was no surprise that they won. They where the favoritt in the odds in Norway. They where also neck in neck with Keiino in the Esc polls. Very popular in the Eurovision fandom before the Mgp finals.
Nice reaction 👍 I love this song and performance so much😍 The dress is dark green. She actually is the wolf😉 [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen] [Verse 1] I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best [Chorus: Vocalization] [Verse 2] Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood [Chorus: Vocalization] [Outro: Vocalization, Storm] I then tore out her heart So her blood flowed free Then I got to drink my brothers' blood
This is norwegian heritage. The "forgotten" from before 1349 when the black death ruled over the country. Many on these texts and identity hymns were overcatsed by countries basically walked in and used our land and resources after that time. We then got more germanic words and were under the rule of denmark. The old primeval power still living and slowly coming back into our own reality. Gåte do it very well and their performance is really unique in the esc setting. It stand out and rip the standard esc pop up a bit to hopefully another level the coming years. Norwegian text before influenced my german traders): Eg va meg so liti ei møy Mi moder ho monne på barseng døy Mi stimoder skapt meg i gangari grå Så sendte ho meg ti kongens gård De totte mi stimoder vere vest At alle dei gildaste bruka meg mest [Refreng: Vokalisering] [Vers 2] Så skapte ho meg i ein ulve grå Ho sa at eg sille på skogjen gå Ho sa at eg sille ikkje få bot Før eg fekk drukkjin min broders blod [Refreng: Vokalisering] [Outro: Vokalisering, Storm] Så reiv eg ut hennes vistri sie Så hennes blod dе sprang så vie Så eg fekk drukkji min brodеrs blod
The part you call a witch's voice and say she calls people is something called LOKK in Norwegian. You use these sounds to call the animals in from the pasture when evening comes. It is an old tradition that she has adopted in to the song, because the song is originally a 1000-year-old story from Norway.
The only reason Gåte didnt win with a landslide was because of the International "expert"jury. So thank you Denmark 0 points have you really lost all of your roots?
It sounds ancient and modern at the same time

[Verse 1]
I was such a beautiful maiden
My stepmother evil, my mother she died
She turned me into a sword and a needle
And sent me to the king's estate
And the anger my stepmother felt the most
That all the stately liked me best
[Chorus: Vocalization]
[Verse 2]
Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf
She cursed me to walk the forest alone
And never will I bе whole and good
Before I drink my brothеrs' blood
[Chorus: Vocalization]
[Outro: Vocalization, Storm]
I then tore out her heart
So her blood flowed free
Then I got to drink my brothers' blood

Så sendte ho meg ti kongens gård
De totte mi stimoder vere vest
At alle dei gildaste bruka meg mest
[Refreng: Vokalisering]
[Vers 2]
Så skapte ho meg i ein ulve grå
Ho sa at eg sille på skogjen gå
Ho sa at eg sille ikkje få bot
Før eg fekk drukkjin min broders blod

[Outro: Vokalisering, Storm]
Så reiv eg ut hennes vistri sie
Så hennes blod dе sprang så vie
Så eg fekk drukkji min brodеrs blod

This is amazing, my winner this year.

I think that this mix of Folklore and rock works very well and also first time since 2006 with the orginal norwegian languge. Top 3 this year.

You, woman, started talking about "her" voice, before she started singing. WTF?
The only reason Gåte didnt win with a landslide was because of the International "expert"jury.
So thank you Denmark 0 points have you really lost all of your roots?
