Up in the North ofEurope there is a star that shines so bright and that stars name is Eivør Pálsdóttir. The Faroe Islands must be proud of such a talent.
After I landed in the Faroe Islands, my Airbnb host was sweet enough to pick me up and bring me to their home since my car hire didn't work out. Susanna had the radio playing while we drove to Kirkjubøur. It had just rained and the sun had burnt through the clouds. Thousands of cascades were pouring down the cliffs and this song came onto the radio. Eivør, I listen to this song and am reminded of the greatest memories and the kindest people and the incredible beauty of your homeland. Thank you for breathing this into the world and giving so many of us warm hearts and refreshed souls.
Deep feelings do not have the language barrier. My son, listening to this song in a documentary about the Faroe Islands, was so excited that his eyes shone because he was on the verge of crying.
Eivor, here's a story. As a child, my norwegian mother told me a bedtime story about a Viking forefather who "sailed far away" and was lost in the fog for many days. He couldn't find the sun with his magical sunstone. He lost began to lose hope and released his Raven and it did not return. Then after many hours he heard his Raven from the distance and clouds parted and he saw a stone castle atop hill. He rowed furiously to the land and met a Wizard who fed him, gave him dry clothes and provisions. The Wizard then cast a spell upon him. Ironically, the name of the story was "Veiviser og Faroya" "The Wizard of Faroe". Then I translated the lyrics to Trollabundin. I wonder if we were told a similar story as kids?
Bless your father (and mother) for creating you, Eivør. Bless you, Eivør, for creating such beauty. You and your music are true blessings in this world :)
The more new music and music videos of Eivor I discover, the more I fall in love with her. She is simply enchanting and stunningly beautiful. Her voice quality and musical talent are superb and her emotion and expression is unmatched. I hope someday to see her perform live
Je suis allé deux fois aux Îles Feroe, et c'est la deuxième fois en 2016, dix ans après, que j'ai découvert cette chanson sur le ferry, j'ai tout de suite acheté le disque, et cette chanson est devenue la bande son qui épouse dans la Paix du Christ ce pays et ses habitants. Et cela est valable pour tous les pays que composent ce monde ; il suffit d'aimer les gens et d'être équitable avec eux et alors ils partagent le meilleur de leur bien, de leur culture dont la beauté de leurs paysages qui viennent comme leurs biens de Dieu : c'est comme cela qu'on changera le monde.
Since the beginning of the pandemic my son has been with his father for his safety and this song in some magical way brings me closer to him... It makes me cry, but not with sorrow if not with emotion reviewing all its growth in my memory
Stories Tell me stories before I go to sleep Tell me what you're thinking Is it funny is it sweet Far, far, far away from here Teach me like you used to How to steer a rocking boat like you do Meet me down at the harbor Let's sail the ocean blue Far, far, far away from here You are far, far, far away but near I still see you and your footsteps in the sand Memories shape me like clay in your hand You are far, far, far away from here Far, far, far away but near
Estaba viendo unas historias de un amigo italiano que vive en Islandia, y tenía ésta canción, acabo de descubrir una nueva cantante... Y por cierto, amo muchísimo los paises nordicos, sobre todo Islandia, la cultura vikinga. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
singing this made my neck hard and hurts, cause of my normal voice is a bass; so singing your tones was very hard, but made my heart peaceful again, thank you so very much Eivør!
Sad the drivel on here that has more than 50M views, and this is around 60K, and "True Love - Live 2012" ,which is staggeringly good, isn't even to 30K as of yet. The world needs to be turned on its ear so that gems like Eivor are well known.
This song and recording is a true masterpiece but sadly is so under known as is Eivor. She is one of music's all time great singer songwriters/performers but so few people know her outside of parts of Europe.
Finally, a music video for this amazing song. I didn't realize it was written about her father. Great video, hope it goes viral - I see it being used in a commercial for travel or something, it has that feel to it
Eivor I love everything about you. You are what a human being should be. Just symphonically Godly Angelic. Those notes you hit send shivers through my soul.
Sam Doo like Steve Hughes says he likes death metal thrash metal black metal speed metal classic heavy metal and ENYA , because when you listen to Slayer for 16 hours straight you need something to help you relax in the afternoon ! Lol
What a beautiful song! The vocals were spectacular (as usual!), and I loved the camera shots of the Faroe Islands in the middle. Thanks for posting, Eivør! :)
Maravillosa.Tiene ése natural que sólo se contiene en la naturaleza de las cosas: sin aditivos; un reflejo de Hada que ya quisiera fuera mi Madrina. Quedo cautivo.
At 2:27 there is a device among the keyboard player's setup that looks a lot like an Omnichord, something I remember from the '80's that was a popular fad for a while. I don't think this is one because it appears to have far too few buttons but I wonder if it is related somehow (same manufacturer, perhaps).

Nordic beauty at its best! Oh, and nice idea gluing your belt with duct tape to your guitar! I've always used these rubber rings from the beer bottle stoppers to keep it where it belongs but this is also worth a try :D

That is sweet
I once got to see her do a live music session online. I was so glad. :)
After I landed in the Faroe Islands, my Airbnb host was sweet enough to pick me up and bring me to their home since my car hire didn't work out.

She's just a gift to humanity.

ضهرت لي الاغنية اثناء بحثي العشوائي على يوتيوب ، اغنية جميلة ومريحه للاعصاب ، اعتقد انني اكتشفت مغنية رائعه ، تحية لك من ليبيا
Bless your father (and mother) for creating you, Eivør. Bless you, Eivør, for creating such beauty. You and your music are true blessings in this world :)
Perfeito!
Can Eivor please represent the UK at Eurovision 2022? We'd win for sure.
The more new music and music videos of Eivor I discover, the more I fall in love with her. She is simply enchanting and stunningly beautiful. Her voice quality and musical talent are superb and her emotion and expression is unmatched. I hope someday to see her perform live
this song makes me nostalgic about a place I have never been to!
Complimenti, bellissima musica. Un abbraccio dall'Italia.
Her sound is between Celtic and Norse..so soothing...😍
So Beautiful - What a beautiful song - what a beautiful voice - what beautiful people -Thank You From New Zealand
Sehr schöne Musik, die die Herzen und die Seelen der Menschen

I'm in love with this song *_* Thanks @Eivør. This song make me feel strange, I would cry, I would smile and dance, I'm alive. Thanks.

Love it ..love all your older songs - hope you find this style soon again dear sister - so light and joyful
So simple, so touching, so deeply beautiful...
Since the beginning of the pandemic my son has been with his father for his safety and this song in some magical way brings me closer to him...
It makes me cry, but not with sorrow if not with emotion reviewing all its growth in my memory
I hope to some day have the privilege, honor and pleasure to attend one of your concerts. Absolutely the best!
I'm about to cry, how beautiful this is!
I am far away but I love it, as a neighbour. Cheers, Ivo fr Madeira island.
Simply. Makes me cry. Happy sad song that shreds your heart barriers.

Saludos desde México, increíble canción gran gran artista Eivor Páldsdóttir. La escucho cientos de veces cada que puedo.

This is a lovely song, and the Faeroe Islands look remarkably like Newfoundland.
I love this song.
I think this is one of her best videos
Such a nice and beautiful song. Thank you Eivør. You create beauty
Estaba viendo unas historias de un amigo italiano que vive en Islandia, y tenía ésta canción, acabo de descubrir una nueva cantante... Y por cierto, amo muchísimo los paises nordicos, sobre todo Islandia, la cultura vikinga. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Eivør, angels have your voice.
Tristano, your big fan from Italy.
So calm and divine... Beautiful song..
So deiligur sangur. Tú ert so góð Eivør.
What a song and what a beautiful voice!
This is beautiful.
I want to visit Faroe islands!!! Greetings from Italy XD
A very touching expression of love, thank you so much for sharing.

Morning ❤
It is so great
I would love a guitar tab of this song!
Eivor I love everything about you. You are what a human being should be. Just symphonically Godly Angelic. Those notes you hit send shivers through my soul.
As a metalhead, I think this is pretty good

As a 24y dude who grew up with punk since 8, i love this
Your voice is amazing. You have a big talent. :")
Love the story tellers!!! ❤❤❤
A class song.
What a beautiful song! The vocals were spectacular (as usual!), and I loved the camera shots of the Faroe Islands in the middle. Thanks for posting, Eivør! :)
Lovely! Thank you.....
..terrific song. Fragile like chrystal.
Beautiful
I'll say. Oh! You mean the video.
Wonderful and amazing
Perfect!
Очень красиво и трогательно.. Хотелось услышать эту же песню в исполнении Кети Мелуа..
why??
I want to live in Iceland! )":
Какая прекрасная песня! Привет из России!
such a sweet song ♥
Really like this one.
After much consideration, I now place music into two genres:
1. Music from Iceland.
2. Everything else.
she sing moust in faroese were she come from
The Faroe Islands are actually closer to Scotland than to Iceland.
But the faroese language is closer to Icelandic than anything else
She is faroese, not icelandic
1. Skandinavian music
2. Other
Она так замечательно разнообразна.
I like the Eivor of yesterday....
J'adore
Maravillosa.Tiene ése natural que sólo se contiene en la naturaleza de las cosas: sin aditivos; un reflejo de Hada que ya quisiera fuera mi Madrina. Quedo cautivo.

Stunning
I'm studying Icelandic with her songs
you canth its moustly faroe islandic she sing its close buth steel fare away talking
