@@maxwilson7001 while vibrating your voice, you gotta dig deep and push from the very bottom of your chest cavity. Adjusting your mouth shape and tongue position to get the right tone. As a smoker, it was hard af just to get in tune for a couple verses.
@@Ganpignanus yeah no. Apparently it's an ADHD thing. Almost involuntary. But I'll start out just casually mouthing the words to a chill song, until it starts to pick up pace, and then 10 minutes later I'm screaming along to Rammstein at full volume, getting all of the pronunciation down while not speaking more than 3 words of German. While headbanging and tapping my foot so hard the whole car is visibly rocking.
@@maxwilson7001 Start by humming on low tone and start moving that humming towards back of your mouth the throat and finally to your chest. You can feel the vibrations moving and then you know you are singing with your chest cavity, instead of your mouth. Cant really explain it better and i'm just learning my own as well. The best singers can do 3 sounds at the same time, singing from their chest throat and mouth at the same time, but i have no idea how the hell they can manage that when one or two is bloody difficult and cant really develop distinct tones like they can.
that is absolutely stunning. just... atmosphere of this song is SO norse, that you can literally hear thunderstorm, falling rocks, cracking ice, roar of the coldest wind and smell of frost on a dark night somewhere on the coast of the northern seas. thank you very, very much for this incredible work! and please, also stay so AWESOME. you're really one of a kind.
Ahh yes, and flat shores and sandy beaches of mild and warm Denmark :3 Pretty flowers and sunshine :D Tiny fjord horses whinnying in the background and Gunthram eating an apple from the orchard while whistling a cheerful tune!
I had chills already, but I got more when you went up high, then was shocked when you went higher!! I was like "What is his range?! The Milky Way?!" XD
50/50 Danish and Irish guy living in the middle of nowhere America here. I still have relatives in both countries and can understand at least the basics of the Norse languages. I don't know how you landed on my suggested lists a year ago, but your renditions of various Norse and Irish tunes are so good. Both a nod to the traditional renditions with your own twist are exactly what musicians respect in a cover/ recording. You deserve all the praise and success you have already achieved and still have coming to you. Thank you for reminding me of my grandmother's Irish tales (I believe of Kilkenny) and my Danish family in Kolding, Denmark. Keep on doing what makes you happy and the best in the future.
9 hours ago I said I'd be here for the premiere, I made it, then Colm just straight transported us into the realm of Colm-Norse where he is Odin; and his voice wove it's magic. Returning to the normal realm seems bland by comparison to the realm of the Colmpany. 11/10 putting on repeat!
@@ColmRMcGuinness your works of music are a welcome to respite for some of your Kiwi (🇳🇿 New Zealand) fans who find ourselves living with a lockdown that may end in December if we are lucky. So I thank you again for sharing your talent with us all Colm, it truly is a respite in tough times.
THIS. There are just no words in the English language to express how excited I am about this!!! It's going to be the most epic thing that I have ever heard. (In case it wasn't obvious, this is what I voted for in the poll.)
Tried in Polish, German, Russian, French, Japanese and Arabic - none worked xD and I believe would be hard to find the right one hahah ;) Supposedly old Norse would be a bull's eye ^.^
Coming from Celtic and Norse ancestors it reverberated to my soul. The cat came out to listen to it with me and I felt my ancestors filled the room. . A spiritual moment. Thank you.
As a Swede. I absolutely love the fact i can hear the initial lyrics. "Giv mig mer" aka; Give me more wich is the lyrics of the English song. This is pure perfection and my Swedish ancestors raise the horn to you.
@@kilimonsta Yupp. Wasn't putting monopoly on the words. Just sharing my own experience. And Swedish is part of the Germanic language tree so it makes all the sense. :)
This is going to be awesome. I haven't heard it but respect fro trying it in old norse. I wished for this ever since you made the community tab giving this as an option. You're great
I found him a few songs ago. Happy new year 2023. I can feel his music in my bones. I love this man his range and annunciation is perfect. He's amazing I'm blessed to hear him. His voice is a gift.
'and now I want to listen to the English version again', 'and now I want to listen to the Norse version again', 'and now I want to listen to the English version again', 'and now I want to listen to the Norse version again', and repeat forever!
Damn, I am so glad Colm Mcguiness is stillgoing, and blowing my mind with every song he makes. I just can't stop listening to Colm's songs, because the talent and amount of effort he puts into making these songs, it's really shows howuch a true artist puts into each and everyone of their songs they make.
I remember back at a poll some weeks ago, I chose this. I knew it would someday become a reality! Once again, thank you so much Colm! This is gonna be epic! Liked before it starts!
@@ColmRMcGuinness One day I asked "Can we hear this in the future?" under the poll. You said "for sure!". Now that's the most wonderful thing my ears have ever heard in my life. Big thanks for it, cheers talented man!
Ahhh this sounds awesome! My favorite version by far! I don't know how it's written but the "Give me more" line in Old Norse sounds a lot like it would in German ("Gib mir mehr"). I just love how you can detect tiny similarities and see how languages are related to or influenced each other.
Funny being Icelandic and understanding the whole thing.😂😂 If anyone wants the lyrics:
Þetta mun aldrei enda af því at ek vil meir. Meir, gef mér meir, gef mér meir. Þetta mun aldrei enda af því at ek vil meir.
Meir, gef mér meir, gef mér meir.
Ef ek hefði hjarta ek gæti elkað þig. Ef ek hefði rodd ek mynda syngja. Eftir nóttina er ek vaki upp. Ek mun sjá þat (er?) morgin kemr?. (seems a bit dodgy translated)
Agree, Impressive of him to do the whole thing in norse but yeah there are even more errors if you look closely. "Vaki upp" should just be "vakna" etc. Also "Ef ek hefði hjarta ek gæti elkað þig." is clearly just word for word translated as the order is very unnatural for us.
I've heard you guys can actually still read really old books (1200s?) no problem, so I'm not surprised. Very cool language you have there too. Thank you for the lyrics!
@@L3m0nate Yep, that's true. The difference between Icelandic and Old Norse is very minor and mostly comes down to minor spelling conventions, as well as coming off formal or old fashioned.
I dont speak icelandic or old norse. But i know they are different. Which is he actually singing in? Not many still speak languages like old norse, old english, old french and classical latin.
I am so excited! I have a feeling it's going to be one of my favorites! I hope we can in the future hear sea shanties in different languages! I think that would be awesome!
@@ColmRMcGuinness Or even a whole translation! I don't think there is enough fully Irish songs out there :,( It's so hard to find (at least on the youtube side of things as an American!)
Holy shit I thought I loved the English version you did, and I DO, but this is my new favorite. You're freaking awesome. How do we get Wardruna to see this and do a collab with you? I would hit the roof.
Wardruna is awesome in their own right, and a collab would be amazing, but based on this one performance, I'd say a collab with Fever Ray would be more appropriate!
Gives me chills.What a voice.Oh,my goodness.It can't be REAL.He's just too much...too much MAN.I must hear this everyday or night now.Where's he been hiding? 😍🤗
This was so striking. It's as if the gods themselves were singing through you! It's rare that I feel faint, but that was awe inspiring. I love hearing Norwegian, Swedish and Danish being spoken, there are so many little links to Scottish Gaelic and Doric.
I cannot express how much I love this. It feels like my ancestors are reaching through time and squeezing my heart. Also my children won’t listen to any other music, only Colm, all the time. 👍🏻
Absolutely incredible. I need to listen to this every day of my life. Your voice is the kind of voice they would have written songs about, not just for, but *about*.
You are an amazing musician beyond measure!! Your range in singing voices, is phenomenal, not to mention your ability to play different instruments!!!! BRAVO!!! you give me chills went you sing.. NEVER stop!!!
Man I literally can't press the like button enough. As a norse pagan and someone who's studied more than his fair share of the runes and elder futhark this gives me the most crippling chills. It pretty much plays in my head 25/8.
The sheer passion and emotion you put into this is amazing, I can hear in your singing that your whole heart is in it. Absolutely stunning as always bro love your stuff 🤙❤️
You sir are a wealth of talent, can't understand the words but I feel the music in my chest everytime. The instruments and your vocals resonate with me. Even developed an interest in Gaeilge because of your cover of Oro se do bheatha 'Bhaile thank you
the english version is by far my favorite song, ive listened to it so many times, and i was pretty excited to hear the my mother told me in old norse, so seeing this was comming up, amazing!
26 April 2021: The English rendition from Colm! It's different, it's the same, you should have this on repeat for days! ruclips.net/video/oJLRNwmNn7o/видео.html VIKINGS - If I Had A Heart (Cover)

Colm has literally the greatest vocal range I’ve heard in my life. He’s a tenor, baritone, and bass all in one...and how many instruments does he play???? I play piano, banjo, and accordion and here this dude can play guitar, banjo, accordion, bouzouki, cello, probably piano, and the 3-string medieval thing. Lol. Colm’s a world class musician.
Colm does NOT play piano, despite having multiple music degrees. He has to enter piano notes one at a time in a time consuming & tedious fashion!
The “Three string medieval thing” is a tagelharpa 🙂
Geoff Castellucci would give him a run for the money on straight voice, but Colm has him beat hands down on the instrumental mastery!
Some people are just built different
You're too kind, friendo! Also side-note: I cannot play piano, I'm so bad at it haha
I didn't realize a norse version of that song was missing...until I heard this. We needed this.
It was actually originally old norse

I second this that would be amazing

Oh my God, please.
Check out Payton Parish. His rendition is amazing! ⚔️🛡️👍❤️

Lmao. Well put
Then saith the Lord, "Let there be bass!" and Colm McGuinness began to sing...
and the waters filled with fish 😀
His vocal chords aren't normal...They're exceptional.🤔
Don’t you mean then Bragi said, “I shall bestow mankind with epic songs!” And then Colm was born?
You mean Odin?
And with a Loud Voice 333
Those are the manliest rolled R’s in history
Such deep texture...shivers down my spine...
His voice is transcendent beauty
This Norse songs are fantastic with his vocals, they keep me coming back. Would love an album of him just singing norse songs.

Love this Nordic version, it shakes the ground under my feet.....Absolutely brilliant.
It sounds eerie. Like something you'd hear in a haunted forest up north. Great performance

I listen to the English version on repeat. Can't wait to hear you sing it like this 😃
As expected the cover did NOT disappoint at all! I had literal goosebumps from pretty much the beginning! Listening to this one on repeat as well ;)
I 10000% did not expect that voice. But my goooodness is this good.
Simply unbelievable. I was redirected here from the Fever Ray original (of which I've been a fan for many years). But this voice... Thank you, Colm!!

Not sure if it's accurate, so take it with a grain of salt
In today's norwegian it's "gi meg mer"

I love this! Your range is amazing and I keep getting chills, you've put a beautiful amount of emotion into your singing.
Absolutely incredible. I need to listen to this every day of my life. Your voice is the kind of voice they would have written songs about, not just for, but *about*.
Totally extraordinary and wonderful. Amazing voice.
This might just be the best song cover you've made yet.
i have not even heard this yet, but i am more than confident that this is a masterpiece.
I may not be a professional but i can appreciate good singing when i hear one. Amazing job
You are an amazing musician beyond measure!! Your range in singing voices, is phenomenal, not to mention your ability to play different instruments!!!! BRAVO!!! you give me chills went you sing.. NEVER stop!!!
Man I literally can't press the like button enough. As a norse pagan and someone who's studied more than his fair share of the runes and elder futhark this gives me the most crippling chills. It pretty much plays in my head 25/8.
A rendition one wishes never to end.
The sheer passion and emotion you put into this is amazing, I can hear in your singing that your whole heart is in it. Absolutely stunning as always bro love your stuff 🤙❤️
You sir are a wealth of talent, can't understand the words but I feel the music in my chest everytime. The instruments and your vocals resonate with me. Even developed an interest in Gaeilge because of your cover of Oro se do bheatha 'Bhaile thank you
Skullcandy crusher evo + Colm McGuinness = literally feeling the presence of your Viking ancestors.
still one of my favorites of all time, set me on the path to a true faith
I find it hard to believe that this song was not sung in Norse mead-halls of yore, it just sounds so friggin PERFECT!
it's really cool reading/listening to old norse and realizing how many modern english words come from it. you can understand more than you think
I left this playing in my truck last night.
It is now a long boat...
The hair on my neck stood up and I got goose bumps. Amazing voice and beautiful sounds.
the english version is by far my favorite song, ive listened to it so many times, and i was pretty excited to hear the my mother told me in old norse, so seeing this was comming up, amazing!
26 April 2021: The English rendition from Colm! It's different, it's the same, you should have this on repeat for days! ruclips.net/video/oJLRNwmNn7o/видео.html VIKINGS - If I Had A Heart (Cover)
@@zippyman818 That version is my favourite song I have heard so far by Colm. I love how primal it sounds if that's a thing you can say. Like the sound he makes that to me sound like people marching. So good.
@@aabenhus small details that add to the overall effect! *talent*
Holy fratelli's..
Your vocal range is insane.
Fantastic cover.
Santa Mãe de Deus!!!! Essa voz é mais tenebrosa que o som do trovão!
OMG - this is SOOOOOOOOoo good! Makes me want to watch 'Vikings' all over again !!!!
That is the deepest man's voice I've ever heard.
Holy ****! Jaw dropping version. Amazing. Can we, like, go raid a village now? 🔥🔥🔥
Eyyyyy it's game-music sensation, Julie Elven! This comment section is now blessed!
Those villages won't know what hit'em!
So, true! Jaw dropping, amazing! I had to subscribe to hear more 🐬💦
Oh my Odin, where in the Helheim did you learn to sing like that? Outstanding!! Valhalla at a playa
