One thing I noticed is when she sings "now your willows fallen, you belong to me" there is the slightest of volume increase and clarity rather breathy in for annunciation. To me it's like it's his anger and demand to control the situation. It's almost starling to me. It's like how she says hunting bow very clear to. She's so purposeful in how every word she portrays. Even after forgetting the song for years random 2 am thought was the flute sounds and her voice more distant whispers. Now I'm obsessed and following her on spotify I'll never forget her again!
Erutan is truly a genius of her craft - not only she sings and composed beautifully, she plays every instrument you can hear. Flute, violins, percussion, ocarinas, and so on. She has a side project called The Menagerie where people in animal masks play folk covers of videogame music - all the animal masked people are her. I'm truly a fan. The Willow Maid really is a cool reminiscence of folk songs telling these wild tales of people navigating the world, sometimes with a touch of the supernatural. A good example of a song like that is The House Carpenter or pretty much any song by Loreena McKennitt, which I believe Erutan has huge inspiration from, from the folk, old-style lyrics to the traditional instruments. You think Willow Maid is dark, try listening to Loreena's "The Bonny Swans"; that thing is probably the most metal thing Ive heard without being played in the genre of metal at all, I kid you not
She still puts out music every so often. Most recent on her Erutan channel was 4 years ago, I believe? She also plays several instruments and has a second channel, the Menagerie, and that one has a few more recent pieces.
It was a hard blow to the world of music. I bet she would have become very famous. Lindsay Sterling famous or maybe even more. But the love for music would probably die for me aswell if I lost the ability to sing. I'm not saying I can sing. Just putting myself in her shoes.
This song is so gut wrenchingly sad Especially when you realize that the falling of a tree in folk songs and such, are usually associated with one's virginity being robbed
a famous person who does this style of music is: Loreena McKennitt - she has over 10 albums over the last 35 years. check her out if you're not familiar.
one thing i will say about erutan is that she also had a channel called the menagerie where she posted instrumental songs, with herself playing every single instrument in the compositions from lute to ocarina to mandolin. so its HIGHLY likely that she actually played every instrument in this composition as well as the vocals.
Someone else mentioned it as well but Erutan has since lost her voice. It was acid reflux apparently, which is pretty scary. What's weird is I know someone who had the same thing happen to them. Pretty scary to think about
It's happening to me right now.. I went to school for opera and now I can sing well maybe.. 70% of the time. 2 years ago it was about 2% of the time and the absolute terror you feel when you think you'll never sing again is hard to describe. Hopefully she's getting some treatment but it's tough.
@@kumaflamewar6524 Sad to hear that you are, is afflicted the correct word? Anyway I hope you will come back to full strength. I haven't heard any news about Erutan at all but I hope that she will come back to us.
This was the update she gave a few months ago on her official website: "(UPDATE 4/26/23) Hi everyone. So it has now been quite a few years since I have been on the music scene. There was a time (about seven years ago) where my voice began degrading in quality, to the point where I could no longer create the sounds that I could before. Even talking for any length quickly sent me into hoarseness. We went to several doctors in several cities, but the American healthcare system is very expensive and we could only do this so many times. The different diagnoses I was given were possible acid reflux, possible allergies, possible thyroid disorder, and possible autoimmune disorder. I also received many emails from concerned listeners with their own thoughts as to what might cure my condition, vacillating from diet changes and physical/mental exercises to changes in religious and political affiliation. I value my voice enough to have explored many, many avenues from the practical to the bizarre, bought many sorts of pills, changed my diet (and kept them for adequate months) many times, and tossed a few prayers in some interesting directions. As for the clinical route, I was on prescription anti-acid pills and a low acid diet for around two years (not great for other parts of my heath, I will add) and my voice did not return to normal. It is safe to say it is NOT acid reflux as I had previously thought. My thyroid levels showed normal, though it is hard to say what is low or high for a particular individual. Perhaps normal for one person is out of balance for me. But placing that aside, autoimmune issues DO run heavy in my family, and I have many other symptoms of it, from joints that suddenly hurt and swell for no reason, to the morphea that suddenly decided to appear and make a scar on my back, to various other ghostly things that come and go at their leisure. When I sing nowadays, while I did not get my chest voice back, I can do my head voice/classical and it sounds almost okay. But any sort of steady practice, no matter how careful or correct, will bring the inflammation back for a few weeks, just as deciding to take up a good walking regimen will bring a bout of sciatica to my back or swelling to my knees. There is no cure for an autoimmune disorder, only steroids that can suppress your own body’s defense mechanisms for a time, and this is not good long term. It is something that will have to be lived with/ worked around as possible. I am singing occasionally, but definitely not enough to bring my vocal muscles back to where they were. I do plan on making music again, putting voice to all those songs I have written in the meantime. When I start, my voice will not sound as good as it did before, but I am working up my courage for that. (and the rotten tomatoes) My life is more private than it was in the past. I admit I have dealt with a form of PTSD regarding my social media, with it bringing back all the myriad anxieties surrounding the loss of my singing voice, blows to my identity and self worth and the career I might have had. And it was never easy seeing/hearing reminders of how my voice used to be. It still isn't. But I am feeling better from keeping a bit of a distance, and have built a happy, busy life filled with many activities I love. That said, I know I've missed much kindness and good times with many wonderful people, and that is a deep regret of mine, but I've had to listen to what my mind and body were telling me in order to get through this very difficult time. I hope you will forgive me. Hope to see you all soon! - Kate Covington / Erutan" Link: www.erutanmusic.com/drinks
@@KamenArts This is hard to read. I discovered her when she was just starting out on RUclips, and I never realized what had become of her. To lose your ability to sing when that's so much of who you are must be devastating. Here's hoping she has built a happy life as she said, and she goes on to trust in herself, and the people who love her music, enough to share it with us again. I don't think anyone will expect her to be perfect. We'd just like to hear her music. There's so much more to true music than perfection. It's something that speaks to you from the heart.
I'm still here! I've been casually following Erutan for at least a decade, and her music is so gorgeous. I can't do this song/video very often though bc it hits HARD and wrecks me for the rest of the day,,, As it should, considering the content lol. Shows how good she is at what she does!
I suggest you look at "Jabberwocky" by Eurtan. A musical arrangement for the Lewis Carrol poem. A brilliant example of putting to music a poem never intended for that purpose.
She records these in her closet. All instruments and vocals are of her combined recordings. Also, she was trained by someone associated with Disney. She was homeschooled and her mother teaches violin. 😻
Oh my gosh!!!! I've been following Erutan since before they were even called Erutan. I've always loved their vocals, I haven't thought about them in a long while now. Thank you for bringing this back into my life!!
I'm still here btw I often comment mid video but always watch to the end. If you want one of Erutan's old greats check out their metroid prime vocal cover! That one is spectacular
This is one of my all time favorite songs when I want quieter and emotional stories. Erutan has been a favorite of mine for years and I am so excited when someone else finds her as well!!
Still here. Lol. And I loved to see your reaction to this. I found the song a while back but just now thought to see reactions for it and loved seeing your composer view on it.
loved that you loved it.. is my favorite song from her.. sad though she has been in a kind of a hiatus due to some voice issues.. but I really do hope she will come back.. cause her is the most beautiful voice I have ever heard... and love her compositions.. she plays all the instruments (many celtic and folk ones)... new sub here.
I love this song is still being listened to, and you're right it's so relevant to today. I listened to it yeeeeeeaaaars ago. It's relevant to many instances in my life, it's a perfect fairy tale that teaches a valuable lesson in a way that I personally can understand as a musician xD
Wow, surprised to see this since it's a fairly niche audience for this song but I already knew about it and I was scrolling through the channel and saw you reacted to this... Great song/video One of those songs that does a great job also telling a short story of sorts which I love when songs do...
I love that song! So when I saw this video I thought 'cool!' I first heard it on my pandora station for 'Faun' and related type of music. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it.
Have you reviewed “one winged angel” from Nobuo Uematsu? Supposedly he composed individual sections individually and stitched them together in his final arrangement. I’m not sure if this is true but supposedly this was first time voices can be heard in game music during gameplay. The song comes in 2 versions, one consisting of only an orchestra and another being led by his metal band. You can tell by its clashing parts it was created in a unique or atypical way.
This is one of my favorites from Erutan. This and Winter Moon are simply beautiful ^_^ it's my first time at this channel. does anyone know if he's reacted to anything by Cosmo Sheldrake? maybe The Moss, Come Along, or Pelicans We. It's really bizarre and fun music and i can't really place the genre
Great reaction as always! I would love to see a video showing the work of Loreena Mckennitt, particularly the song "Kecharitomene", wich never fails to mermerize me whenever I hear ir. Sending love from Brazil.☺
Erutan is a god who has come to this world to teach us true music. You should react to all of her work! Including her instrumental, music channel “the menagerie”
Erutan said she wrote this song because she didn't like how in every folklore like this, the girl would always get taken away against her will, so she wrote a new version where the girl didn't get to be taken away. Also, the reason the girl is so adamite in the song about her dislike and refusal, is because in the folklores, apparently the girls never outright say no, and she wanted it to be clear the girl didn't want this.
All people below are suggesting amazing music to react on. Because i'm a gamer too I will also participate in this endeavor. I want to suggest you to react to Divinity original sin 2 music but here is the problem. All the music in this game is amazing (using so differend instruments like Tambura, Bansuri Oud.. in a masterfull way) so I don't no which ones to suggest. Maybe a good start will be the main theme music and after that The Queen's High Seas (Beast's Theme) for good ending. :) :) :) (sorry for my english if there are some spell errors) (lol this was a long comment)
could you please react to Code Vein - Memory of the Lost. I would love to watch your reaction to it. honestly this song gets me a bit emotional, and I'm curious to see if you do as well.
i'd love to see you listen to some of the tracks from Rakuen and the To The Moon games, but without the context you get from playing the games they probably won't hit as hard as they could
a good song you could review from a game would be deep stone lullaby from destiny 2. alot of the songs from destiny 2 are really good i think youd like them
I would like to see your reaction to Warframe "This is what you are". It is a very powerful and emotional song. I would love to hear your opinion on this song.
Hi i am from india could you please react south india music from kollywood musicians AR rahman , Yuvan shankar raja, harris jayaraj, ilaiyaraaja . defennetly you enjoy our south indian movie BGMs and music
It's sad and kind of unfair for the fans. I was inspired by her work but she just left 5 years ago. It doesn't have to be the voice, she just has to make content. Pro athletes stop age 30, it doesn't mean they give up on creating, teaching and building a base for their type of art/craft & music.
"Unfair to the fans" doesn't seem very accurate...she doesn't owe us anything, but still offered it. She lost her voice and had/has some serious health complications, but still has two music channels, some with updates and instrumental music from 2 years ago, and maintains active updates as of this past year on a webpage regarding where she's at, noting that she does want to be able to return to sharing her music and is trying to build the strength to do so. I don't think that's just leaving, or giving up.
@@emilyb5307 You might not like the way I word it. But it's true and it is unfair. She doesn't have to pull out of making music regardless of how bad life hits you. She still has so much to offer in terms of that specific sound that it's genre defining. I can't wait when she actually does make a new video, it gives life back and hope for all people who aged nearly 2 decades with her music.
@@StriderStarfall I don't think so. Life is too short, no matter how bad it hits us we have to keep striving. Like I said I don’t consider the wording important. Because it takes a whole lot to deliver on the level she does. I will not be soft on my words her art is missed.
Erutan has some gorgeous work, you really can't miss with any of her music. She's got a really beautiful and charismatic musicality.
One thing I noticed is when she sings "now your willows fallen, you belong to me" there is the slightest of volume increase and clarity rather breathy in for annunciation. To me it's like it's his anger and demand to control the situation. It's almost starling to me. It's like how she says hunting bow very clear to. She's so purposeful in how every word she portrays.

Erutan is NATURE written backwards. Her music is haunting. That whole album Raindancer is filled with some gorgeous compositions.
Erutan is truly a genius of her craft - not only she sings and composed beautifully, she plays every instrument you can hear. Flute, violins, percussion, ocarinas, and so on. She has a side project called The Menagerie where people in animal masks play folk covers of videogame music - all the animal masked people are her. I'm truly a fan.

Erutan is super talented, so sad that she lost her voice :( I love her cover of Suteki Da Ne and Answers.
She lost her voice? Oh no, that is so sad! Any info what is going on with her nowadays?
She still puts out music every so often. Most recent on her Erutan channel was 4 years ago, I believe? She also plays several instruments and has a second channel, the Menagerie, and that one has a few more recent pieces.

I’m so sorry to hear she lost her voice. I have missed her these years.
She lost her voice?
wow. I genuinely never thought someone would react to this. Massive props for your insane range.
This song is so gut wrenchingly sad
Especially when you realize that the falling of a tree in folk songs and such, are usually associated with one's virginity being robbed
It definitely could be symbolic, I think it’s more a metaphor for nature though, like Tolkiens work.
a famous person who does this style of music is: Loreena McKennitt - she has over 10 albums over the last 35 years. check her out if you're not familiar.
one thing i will say about erutan is that she also had a channel called the menagerie where she posted instrumental songs, with herself playing every single instrument in the compositions from lute to ocarina to mandolin. so its HIGHLY likely that she actually played every instrument in this composition as well as the vocals.
I'm pretty sure it's all her too. Composing, playing all the instruments, and singing. She is a true artist.
She draws all the stuff too
she is... she is in my top 3 fav artist.. and probably is the first haha.. the others are lindsey stirling and aurora.. so omg!
I found this song a few years ago while listening to a lot of celtic inspired music. Really great to see your reaction to it.
what other celtic type songs do you like?
I'm halfway convinced Erutan is an elf. You cannot go wrong with her music.
Someone else mentioned it as well but Erutan has since lost her voice. It was acid reflux apparently, which is pretty scary. What's weird is I know someone who had the same thing happen to them. Pretty scary to think about
Agreed. And that it happened to a singer is just... Heartbreaking

Erutan did a cover of aerith's theme from ff7, I had no idea she had reached this level of popularity
I love Erutan! Quick fact, she started with her RUclips channel katethegreat19. She has made a lot of video game covers.
This song actually saved my life. Listening to it even now always makes me feel melancholy, but fond.
I react to this song with fear instead of sadness.

This is such a beautiful melody to this song. Those harmonies are just so great
This song always gives me full body goosebumps. So devastating but so beautiful at the same time.
I miss her so much.
I like your vibe sir. Keep it up. Also, found this song here, so I'm grateful for that too.
This song is extremely beautiful.
I misseddd her sooo muchhhhhhhh I wish we could see her again even without her voice
im still here!
Still here. Lol. And I loved to see your reaction to this. I found the song a while back but just now thought to see reactions for it and loved seeing your composer view on it.
She’s got so many great songs … I LOVE “Winter Moon.” Be great to get your take on that one.

This is one of my favorite Songs.
BTW, Erutan is Nature spelled backwards. I love another one of their songs and sing it to my kids - Jabberwocky

Erutan is amazing. I would kill for a simplified piano tutorial for The Willow Maid. I have yet to find even a non-simplified tutorial.

I'll put Cosmo Sheldrake on my list :)
I've missed erutan :
This song always gives me a catch in my throat.

Loved the video
La voz de erutan suena como una bonita flauta cuando hace los falsetes.
Still here!
nice fresh reaction, honest
id love to see you reacting to Hozier-In the woods somewhere
Erutan said she wrote this song because she didn't like how in every folklore like this, the girl would always get taken away against her will, so she wrote a new version where the girl didn't get to be taken away. Also, the reason the girl is so adamite in the song about her dislike and refusal, is because in the folklores, apparently the girls never outright say no, and she wanted it to be clear the girl didn't want this.
Me encantó❤

Still here.
still here lol
you need to react to Danheim & Heldom - Blodfest . its like heilung but the sounds are more "natural" since heilung uses a lot of synths
i'd love to see you listen to some of the tracks from Rakuen and the To The Moon games, but without the context you get from playing the games they probably won't hit as hard as they could
a good song you could review from a game would be deep stone lullaby from destiny 2. alot of the songs from destiny 2 are really good i think youd like them

Can you react to Arthas My Son from world of warcraft
Hi i am from india could you please react south india music from kollywood musicians AR rahman , Yuvan shankar raja, harris jayaraj, ilaiyaraaja . defennetly you enjoy our south indian movie BGMs and music

May need to change the video title to fix the artist name.
