    to anyone interested.. this song is not old, but the poem that is used is, it is a translated version of a famous poem called "Þat mælti mín móðir", it was written by a man named Egill Skallagrímsson from Iceland in the year 911 when he was only 7 years old, he was angry at a boy that cheated him in a game and killed him, that is when his mother said those things and realized that him showing this berserker behavior meant that he would become a warrior, a Viking, rather than become a farmer, he died at the age of 91 in the year 995. This man is also my ancestor (I am from Iceland we have kept very detailed records of family lineage since 1200, and traced family trees back to settlement era, family was important and still is, so I can see my family tree all the way back to year 740)

      My brother paid for an ancestry analysis, which showed we are mostly standard north European but with a very notable streak of Viking blood. On my father's side we are Irish and the Vikings invaded and occupied Ireland many centuries ago. We must be descended from those Viking settlers, since there have never been any Scandinavians in the family. My mother says this must account for my rather wild nature, quick to take offence and turn anything into a fight, but I think it just gave me a restless soul, always looking for the next departure.

    @The Hound + The Fox This is so epic and beautiful! More please. This is now added to my DJ RUclips playlist. This is my favorite music week of 2021! This and seeing Jeffrey East, Tim Foust and Austin Brown 3 livestream shows for the first time, (last weekend) incredible! 🔥😱🔥🙌🙌

    I really like simple folksy songs like this. Strong music for strong people. Music with drums.

    Your picture is bold and handsome!
    (All of you, I couldn't come up with a neutral enough adjective on the fly-I thought handsome the most appropriate)
