This song reaches me on on levels most art is unable to... It calls to something more primal and older in me... Something I can feel I'm missing on modern life today. Call me crazy, but hearing this is almost like filling a hole in my chest with an echo from the past.
could not of said it better myself, there defo something primal and calling about it, calling me to discover the roots of history that is within me.....makes me think some viking left me behind in a saxons belly a few thousand years ago hahahaha.
2 million years for humans to evolve with music and festivals, rituals and culture. people hunted, feasted, made a big fire and hit on those animal skin drums at night. not knowing about science, believing in gods and a purpose. that must have soaked into us over the counless generations. even if you take the recent 2000 years (and a large part of that was just as primal :D) thats only 0,1% of humanities time. no hard science, no clinical behaviour optimized for efficient production, no computers, no weird chart songs. they had nothing but voice and drums and stuff that sounded resonating and deep. must have been good times besides the lack of medicine and quite some unjust behaviour. at least it was "true" to life. eat, be eaten, kill, be killed, fuck and be fucked. the meat you ate had a life, the plants grew in a natural cycle, weather had impact on us, storms and thunder must have felt so superior and godly when we didnt have big ass houses made of stone with a rod to protect from lightning. humans still interacted with each other besides the superficial mandatoy shit we have nowadays. they came together for almost everything. today most people arent anything more but NPCs you have to interact with to get through your day. no values left. honor, loyalty, love, friendship have become abstract or superficial things you have to buy with an abstract currency or sometimes even explain to people for them to know what it originally "was". obviously not all the time, but in comparison to back then i imagine it to have changed towards that tendency at least. in the end i would have had to life back then to make actual assumptions, but what can we do but guess. at least i feel like we all agree these types of music resonated with us. maybe some inherited core-memories that are stimulated like a duck that can swim pretty much right after birth or some animals that can walk right after they are born. some hard-coded information that stayed with us. it stimulates our hormones, sometimes i get adrenaline rushes and goosebumbs from listening to this kind of stuff even if i dont understand the lyrics. just makes me feel like im about to fight smth, summon a god or march through a storm that can snap me down if it wanted to like some little twig. objectively seen its just random vibratuions in the air. so obviously it must be our sibjective associations with it. and how are we associating / resonating with it, if not from our very genetics conserved the information we accumalted over the last 2 million years.
I feel like I already heard this song long time ago and I'm not even nordic (i'm 193cm slav 😅) even though I never heard it before. I can't even describe the amount of emotions this song brings... Pride, peace, sadness, love, loss, life, understanding, higher purpose, immortality of the spirit that just returns and remembers. And the everyday fight and struggle. Not falling into the darkness but staying proud in light even when it gets really hard... to reach the ancestors with honor, well deserved.
I come from strong Norwegian heritage, so I'm learning this for my great grandparents, who came to America from Norway. Its my great grandfather favorite song
We played this at my fathers funeral as we started the service it's a beautiful song that is so fitting and for the man that taught me so much about our ancestors and our way of life he will never be forgotten, it was the first time our local goathi had done a funeral and it turned out very well even the funeral home who is run by Catholics thought it was very beautifully done and were very respectful in allowing us to send him off the way he requested
@@MrFolch and now I can sing it to the music with full understanding which allows for the EMOTION to be put into it, just as it's felt when listening to the original. Thank you!
I go out into the wilderness to play this while promoting myself to the Gods. Alas I know I shall transcend to Valhalla. I am happy I found my true faith when I was alone and on my own.
Your never alone brother we are bigger than you ever know and brother never promote yourself to the gods they see you constantly never give up Odin and Freya is with all of us, so live your life, work good drink meed and fight for your loved ons and be healthy for us brothers and sisters Rais your horns and say skäl to life......
Thanks for the lyrics, I'm Listen to this song 5 times a day, 4 the last year now, even if I lay it on 4 the first time a day I get goos bumps over whole of my body. It's 4me a kind of moment of silence that I need to find my balance for the day. For the most people it's a song for, me it's like I can here Valhalla on earth...... Some wil say wtf but that is what I feel. Thank you wardruna for make me feel this good with just a song. THE SONG. In my country we have a stupid language for making songs and a song of this level will never succeed 🤣🤣and you never ges it I'm from Belgium. 😂😂😭😭😂😂⚔️⚔️⚔️ My new name is olavi the Viking.

@@MrFolch i would have to agree. These songs speak to the people who are intuitive. I as a tarot reader and crystal healer have to be very intuitive and with the music i can feel more it puts everything in perspective.
This song hits me deep inside like no other ever has , I feel as if I have found something that’s been missing my whole life listening to this in its Norse origin, I guess my mom was correct when she told me we were descended from Nordic roots maybe Thornton sir name is Norse .
It's weird but even without the lyrics translation I can understand it somewhat, once I listen close. Song, Bound, Valfader= Allfather, etc. I'd like to pretend it's because of my distant Norman/Northman ancestors, but it's probably Norse and English being related languages. ;)
James Davenport yes, this languages are related, but of course it’s way more fun to think your Viking blood is flowing inside you, making you understand everything because of your roots. Skåll!
I feel the same. Whenever I hear this song I get goosebumps and I have a strange feeling like I'm remembering something that I can't quite grasp. Difficult to explain. Beautiful song
I'm German, speak English and understand Svenska, Latin, and Norge a little bit kand other, but they are no Germans languages so it's not important here). If you speak or understand this 4 languages, you nearly understand the whole song.

Learning this in german, though o speak only English. I find singing makes it easier to remember. I enjoy learning the anglo roists of words. I had no idea but because i lived this dong and had seen english translation Idecided to learn it. Thank you for yhis format which makes it easier
I can see that happening, but it still doesn't make much sense. Norse saw death as indifferent and tragic, but not evil. Helheim was not a place of punishment, just a second home for those not chosen to be warriors. And I for one would rather have peace and rest than honor. Hel takes care of the children, ill and weary. Odin is just a king and a war general.
Does anyone know how to convert our call to odin into english for me as this was my song to my partner at his funeral and would like to know the meaning behind this song 🎵 💔😭💚we also had this song such beautiful music 🎶 and touches my soul deeply 💚
the last verse is actually ''Cattle die, kindred die, Every man is mortal: But the good name never dies Of one who has done well Cattle die, kindred die, Every man is mortal: But I know one thing that never dies, The glory of the great dead
i daudsvevna slinge meg means "into the web of death sling me" - i wonder how many more of the lyrics were originally translated wrong and have since been copied over and again across youtube.
This song is purely paganism. I am a Christian. I can't keep on singing a song which mentions the Odin's name no. But I just love the tune the beat and the sound but not the lyrics.
I can't imagine a world where everyone think and believe the same, I guess it's up to us to learn while we walk in this path called life, to grow phisically, mentally and spiritually. I've read about Jesus, I've read about The seven laws of Noah, I've read about classical and modern philosophy, there are differences off course, but in those differences you can find wisdom. At least that is my point of view. Also I'm glad you like the tune, the beat, and the sound.
