Falling Free, live at the Old Theater in Torshavn is an absolute must. One of the most impressive live performance I ever watched. Eivor's voice range is unrivaled.
Always loved this as the opening soundtrack to "The Last Kingdom". It is meant to be a pagan chant for a summoning ritual for the old Norse gods. A Netflix Historical fiction story based on a books series by Bernard Cornwell. The story is based around the forming of the Kingdom of England in around 800 AD.
‘Eye-vor’ will do as a pronunciation of her name. She is a goddess. For one of the all time great live performances you really must do ‘Eivør- Falling Free (Live at the old theatre Torshavn)’. Every RUclips reactor I have seen do that performance has been left stunned. She is from the Faroe Islands, a group of volcanic islands about halfway between Iceland and Scotland with a population of about 54,000 and which are part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Eivor (I-vor) Palsdottir is from the Faroe islands (off the Scandinavian coast) and sings in her beautiful, haunting Faroese language often......there are many live concert performances of this, all good.....she often sings with Einar Selvik of Wardruna....their duet of 'Helvegen' with full orchestra and choir is moving........
The song she is singing is the title song from the television series called The Last Kingdom, she sings the entire soundtrack, and also has a cameo in season 5.. I highly recommend you check out the series as it is excellent. If I have another recommendation it would be to check out Eivør singing Trodlabundin. The “beatboxing” that you call it is actually Faroese Throat singing, she uses this in quite a few of the songs she sings..
Eivor is from the Faroe Islands. The language spoken there, Faroese is probably the closest current language to Old Norse .. the majority of the people who settled there were Scandinavian (Norwegian?) who were from parts of Ireland and Scotland so Old Irish (wives) influenced the language.
Hi Juliet, in this song I got strong "The Hu" vibes. I know , different continent, different culture - but the same appeal to your primal "lizard brain". It almost touches you on a cellular level, doesn't it? If you'd like to see an elf-like Eivør a suitable recommendation would be "Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin". I can almost guarantee that you'll like that one as well.
Everything she sings is pure perfection. Much like Lucy Thomas. She is Faroese and it is called "throat singing". I have three loves in my musical life, Eivor, Lucy Thomas and Floor Jansen my Queen! I am thrilled every time I hear them sing. Thanks!
great reaction for an great artist! the beatboxing is called throat singing and crating sounds while inhaling is very scandinavian, you see that when you watch people talking here. anyway, her primal register is awesome, but she has also many many other absolut phenomenal songs less tribal. truth live at studio bloch, slør london solo sessions, her version of gloomy sunday is phenomenal. and i like boxes live 2012. and of course the songs from the symphonic viking voyage. tròdlabùndin live recorded in norway is magic. i'm sure that ths here won't be your last reaction on her
Thanks for my favourite EIVOR! Yes, "Falling Free" from the Old Theater of Torshavn! In the real life she is an amazing, nice lady with the good sense of humour! (I did have a chance to meet her :). )
I think it’s really neat that by singing in her native language, she is putting Faroese (spoken by only around 50k people) on the world stage. I don’t speak Faroese myself, but in case none of those 50k show up, here’s the pronunciation tip that you requested: The “ei” is more like the stereotypical Canadian “eh”. The “v” is just like in English. The “ø” is mostly like the vowel from English words like “earth” and “curl”. The “r” in Faroese is unlike what you hear anywhere else in the Nordic languages, being in fact more like how that letter is pronounced in standard American English, so you have a natural advantage there.
@@eckligt I live in the Faroe Islands and yes the Faroese language is old Nordic and very intact due to the fact that the islands are so isolated from all other countries. In fact, the language is fascinating and unique. The genes of the Faroese are also intriguing. The gene is from Norwegian Vikings and from the Celts in Great Britain. But the Faroese do not make anything special out of where their ancestors came from. They will just be perceived as Faroese. But their language reveals them and sometimes their ancient traditions.
“Ei” is pronounced like “eye👁️ (Like, arrive, mine etc) Ey” is pronounced like canadian “eh”. (Lake, hey, May) In some dialects, incl. Eivør’s natural one, “ei” is pronounced like “oy” which sounds like Australian “i”. (Oil, boiling, Foyle)
"Part beat-boxing and part growling. I have never heard this combination before" Well, KoRn - Freak On a Leash? :D A weird connection between Eivor and KoRn, but here it is :D You haven't reacted to KoRn yet, so I don't know if you're familiar with them, but it's a bloody piece of music history. A rabbit hole worth digging in. And the song itself is a popular choice among reactors.
Hi from Scotland, i am a sound engineer in ,Glasgow in the same venue Eivor performed in,if you ever get the chance,Please play Eivor Falling Free Live at The Old Theatre as my wife late wife came from The Faroes Island where Eivor comes from,,i give you my word,you will thank me,i promise you this,Best Wishes from Scotland,
@@danceswithwolves7824 My pleasure,if you get time listen to Eivor Falling Free Live at the Old Theatre,you will not be dissappointed,i promise you,Best Wishes always.
Was lucky enough to see Eivor in concert last year (she was spine-chillingly amazing by the way) supporting Heilung, who are also well worth checking out... actually can I recommend Heilung - In Maidjan (Lifa live version) as a reaction, if you've never seen them before I think you'll like it. Ps, never thought of Lisa Gerrard when listening to Eivor but I can see why you mentioned it, been a while since I've listened to Dead Can Dance!
I highly recommend Eivor's 'Falling Free' Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn. You'll LOVE it. ❤

She really brings out something primal in you 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Damn it!! Now I'll have to watch The Last Kingdom series and movie for the 8th time.

Irish, then norwegians and then Frisians. Later ofc Danes
There is no bigger badass in music than Eivor.
Everything she does is just amazing.
The beatboxing/growling is actually throat singing. Eivor said she listened to a lot of Tanya Tagaq who is an Inuk throat singer :)
She is a force of nature. She was playing a concert in the last Wacken Open Air, one of the biggest metal festival around the world.

for fangirling so hard i would have expected at least one or two more reactions after four month.
I enjoyed watching your excitement about eivør and her amazing singing skills ❤️😊👍🏻

Hey. A friendly question. Where are you from and have you been to the Faroe Islands?
@@roykilgour9790 Norway and no. What about you?

Fun how you and lolli are doing eivor on the same day
wait until you hear more of her!
Absolutely !!!
What pretty eyes !!! 🥰
sound is from a really distorted double base
She is an artist 🤷🏻♂️
You pronounced her name correctly at 12:50 - the second attempt ;-).
If this is what Viking women were like no wonder their menfolk were so terrifying !
please reaction Putri Ariani STUNS with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 | Qualifiers | AGT 2023
the one eyed is of the tribe and the tribe is the dane the old childreng of the one eyed
the original born dead no fear
Apparently it's faroe throat singing. I think
Why is there no sound on the video?
if u are a bicth mary a northman
Sorry but NO !!! Hell NO !! it is weird and different but only to attract attention !!
You say that only because you don't know her cultural background.
You're not ready yet, mate. One day you will. Love from the Netherlands

Saw this concert in Tilburg, Netherlands. Amazing. Eivør in Köln was even a tad better.
