Helvegen means road to Hel (not like christian hell), its a viking afterlife
This is a song about dying and honoring those who have died. In the past, they had songs for everything. When someone was dying, people would sit by their beds and sing them over to the other side. The author of this song wrote it wondering who would sing him to the other side. He says the old songs are gone and they need to make new ones.-Wardruna
Thanks so much for this ☺️❤️
Well einar would hopefully be proud to know he will sing me to the other side
@@devinburns2535 when the time comes i will consider this for my funeral as well
@crazyhillbillyjoe none of us claimed otherwise. And it all warriors dead in battle go to valhalla. Freja gets first pick of the glorious dead, not odin. He gets what's left over
@@thefablesphere Forgive me any translation mistakes:
Helvegen (road to Hel, aka the underworld/world of the death) Christian 'hell' is something different, btw
Hvem skal synge meg (who shall sing me)
i daudsvevna slynge meg (into the death-sleep sling me)
når eg på Helvegen går (when I walk on the road to the underworld)
og dei spora eg trår er kalda, så kalda (and the road I walk is cold, so cold)
Eg songane søkte ( I studied songs )
Eg songane sende ( I made songs )
då den djupaste brunni (when the deepest well)
gav meg dråper så ramme (gave me the drops, touched )
av Valfaders pant ( of the Death-Fathers wager )
Alt veit eg, Odin ( I know it all Odin!)
var du gjømde ditt auge (where you hid your eye)
Hvem skal synge meg (who shall sing me)
i daudsvevna slynge meg(into the death-sleep sling me)
når eg på Helvegen går (when I walk on the road to the underworld)
og dei spora eg trår er kalda, så kalda (and the road I walk is cold, so cold)
Årle ell i dagars hell ( early in the day it will end)
enn veit ravnen om eg fell ( and the raven will know, the moment I fall)
Når du ved helgrindi står (when you stand at the gate of Death)
og når du laus deg må riva (and you have to tear free)
skal eg fylgje deg (I shall follow you)
over Gjallarbrua med min song (acrross the resounding bridge: with my song)
Du blir løyst frå banda som bind deg! (You will be free from the bonds, that you bound)
Du er løyst frå banda som batt deg! (You will be free from the bonds, that bind you)
=====
Døyr fe, døyr frender (cattle dies, friends die)
Døyr sjølv det sama (you yourself will die)
men ordet om deg aldreg døyr (but word about you will never die)
vinn du et gjetord gjevt (when you have lived a good life)
Døyr fe, døyr frender (cattle dies, friends die)
Døyr sjølv det sama (you yourself will die)
Eg veit eins, et som aldreg døyr (I know one thing, that never dies)
dom om daudan kvar (the reputation of those who died)
The path to Hel
Who shall sing me,
Into deathsleep sling me,
When I on the path to Hel go,
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold.
I sought the songs,
I sent the songs.
Then the deepest well
Gave me tears so harsh
From the Allfather's wager
I know everything, Odin,
To whom you gave your eye.
Who shall sing me,
Into deathsleep sling me,
Whence I on the path to Hel go,
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold.
Early or in the day's end,
The raven still knows if I fall.
Once you stand at the gate to Hel
And when you have to tear free,
I shall follow you over Gjöll Bridge
with my song.
You will be free from the bonds that bind you,
You are free from the bonds that bound you!
"Cattle die,
Friends die,
So, too, must you die.
Though one thing
Never dies;
the reputation one have gained
Cattle die,
Friends die,
So, too, must you die.
I know one,
That never dies; the judgement of those who died
Thanks Tom.
VIKING CEFREMONIAL SONG THE KIND TXS BRO FOR THE LYRICS
hmm where did you copy the translation from? :p swap "slain-father's pledge" to "Allfather's wager" and "Gjallarbru" would be "Gjöll Bridge", the bridge over the river Gjöll. "the fair fame one has earned" to "the reputation one have gained" :D
@@TheNortibia are you telling me theres incorrect information on the internet ?? now i heard everything. JK think i got it fixed now =)
@@MrTombre hahaha yeah, who would have thought? :p nah, it was just some key words that I found hilarious, but did not make sense :p Thank you for bothering finding it for us though
I've seen Wardrna live twice. Once Feb 2018 in Toronto, traveled from USA to see them. Then I saw them October 2019 in Red Rocks Colorado.
Live, there are no words to describe how their music reaches the depths of your body, in ways you never thought music could.
Love how you said you don’t need to understand what they are saying. Hits the soul like an arrow!!! They bring me home….

This is a kind of song that brings shivers to your spine. The drums and nordic viking way of singing are somewhat hypnotizing and Aurora fits perfect with her vocals and mere presence.
💯💯💯💯💯 agree
You should definitely react to Aurora's whole discography
Will absolutely be doing that 👀👀❤️
@@thefablesphere I hope Running with the wolves will be next lol! Remember. I gave you the link to that too. Aurora alone.
This song has actually been featured on 'Vikings' at least twice, so if you've seen it, it might sound familiar. Almost all Wardruna songs have been on the background at some point or another, which is definitely appropriate. Selvik is also set to write music for the upcoming Viking themed Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
I haven’t seen Vikings yet 👀👀👀 but I have to absolutely watch that now ☺️🙏❤️
Wardruna is a Norwegian music group formed in 2003 They are dedicated to creating musical renditions of Norse cultural and esoteric traditions, and make significant use of Nordic historical and traditional instruments en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardruna
Thanks so much for this ☺️❤️
Wardruna plays with instruments that are replicas of viking instruments. They are trying to recreate viking music. "Helvegen" means the road to the underworld. Hel is the godess of death in norse mythology, and ruler of the underworld. Most people that dies ends up with Hel, while people who die on the battlefield go to Valhalla to fight and feast for eternity. Helvegen is a deathsong about the road to the realm of the dead, and also about the reputation you leave behind when you die.
The male vocalist (Einar Selvig) has also made music for the tv-show "Vikings", as well as appearing as an extra in the series.
Thanks so much for this ☺️❤️
Also believe he has made the music to the new game Assassins Creed: Valhalla
@Willy S That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't sure if only the last bit from Håvamål stemmed from a viking source.
@@thefablesphere Fun twist: Valhalla is also in Hel, it is Odins "clubhouse" there in Hel. It has several realms, some dark and cold (mostly for dishonorable people) and some that are warm and cozy for just normal people basically. Very basically spoken.
red rocks live it was awesome when i saw them there live awhile back
Wardruna knock it out of the park usually, but with Aurora they hit the stars. Wardruna did the Vikings soundtrack
Both Norwegian, both very Viking :) Speaks to the soul doesn't it? I'm not even from around there and I can feel this music in my whole body.
I feel as a person who is a "sensitive" that this song has returned thousands, no millions of lost souls, HOME. Needless i get emotional every freaking time i hear this.
Love this performance and your reaction 🤩🤩 Thank you so much 🙂🙂🇧🇻
☺️☺️❤️❤️
someone enjoying Helvegen this much=instant sub!
Aurora - It Happened Quiet live at Nidarosdomen. Nothing less than mesmerizing. It's Aurora live in Nidaros cathedral in Norway backed by a stringed orchestra complete with a harpist and men's choir.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes that entire concert is glorious- every bit of it is magic.
Viking music has puls, a tempo that go too your heart, They whent to war, so the music talks.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
It’s Nordic shamanism
I'll try to explain the song
It's about death. It's written from the perspective of people who were post-Viking but pre-Christian. These people don't believe they go above to heaven. Their culture believed they return to the soil. To the earth. Death isn't the end. You die and your body returns to the earth, feeds insects, adds nutrients to the soil and feeds plants that feed animals and they feed us. So it is our responsibility to honor the dead and that cycle. The song is a death chant - something you sing to the dying to help ease their fear as they go from one part of the cycle to the next. You caught alot of the meaning from the energy of the song! That's cool
Thanks so much for this ❤️❤️☺️🙏
The last part is Håvamål - The speaks from the highest ( Odin) The rest - old norse . Håvamål is a set off advice from Odin - or guidelines.
❤️❤️❤️ that’s amazing
The rest is not old norse. It is a western Norwegian dialect we speak today.
Viking culture is beautiful,songs are still preserved descendants and thanks to them we can appreciate these incredible songs.
Aurora is spelled the same as in Aurora borealis (the northern lights). Her full name is Aurora Aksnes 😉 Yes, Wardruna, and the guy singing (Einar Selvik) has written and performed songs for the Tv-series «Vikings». You should definately react to more of Aurora’s songs.
☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️🙏🙏 thanks so much
Absolutely love your passion ..this was incredible took me to a different place ... .love your interpretation thanku lovely love an god bless x
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
I love this,Einar's voice too.I understand most of the words,Norwegian.Some of it is in old Norse,I think.
That was beautiful! Very tribal and hypnotic! More!!✌️😎
☺️☺️❤️❤️ more coming
Surprised you with this one didn’t I 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
this one just made my day Fil =) its in the soundtrack of viking series
Was a wonderful surprise thanku love an god bless x
no it was one I suggested ages ago lol when you first did a aurora reaction Wardruna have done alot of songs from vikings. they do an amazing live version in a cave the acoustics are amazing!!, i added a link to it when I suggested it. I think anything with rythmic tribal style drums just speaks to your soul. Another one I love at the minute is The Hu wolf totem again it just speaks to my souls the drums and instruments and the throat singing ruclips.net/video/sv29DzgiXZA/видео.html
HELVEGEN means Road to Hel(the god) Just another great thing ruind by religion.🤔 We(Vikings/Scandinavians) Lost allot of this music because of Christianity. 🤔 Please react to WARDRUNA and the song VOLUSPÁ (there's a wolf in the Thumbnail) It's just the frontsinger Einar and a small harp but the beautiful sounds coming out of it is amazing and mesmerizing.🤯 Thanks.🙂
Be safe 🤘💯🤘
You need to react to this one here: ruclips.net/video/QRg_8NNPTD8/видео.html it is by Heilung. You should do yourself the favor and listen to the entire concert LIFA (thats how you would find it on RUclips in great quality), but especially to Krigsgaldr, wich is truly breathtaking. Thank me later XD
The thing that really strikes me in this version is Aurora's demeanor. In her life performances specifically she's usually beyond expressive outwardly and seems like she's having the time of her life jamming behind closed doors. She truly gets into her music and the energy she wants to give off with it. Here, she's doing just that. She's fully into the piece and what it is, the energy it gives off. She's still just as expressive as she always is, but here it's an almost reverence. You never stop seeing it in her, even though she isn't dancing around or practically flailing.
Also, their harmonization during the real 'heavy' parts is just astounding and never ceases to give me the good chills.
The man singing is Einar Selvick, he did the majority of the songs for the show Vikings
Vikings played this song on multiple episodes first I noticed it was when Ivar the boneless was named and ragnar set off for wessex
There is a version, where they play it on a mountain under a rock formation. It was a huge festival(can't recall the name) . It's again with Aurora. Highly recommend you feast your ears to that version.
AURORA IS SIMPLY UNIQUE THIS IS VIKING STUFF YO FUNERAL CEREMONY
💯💯💯❤️❤️🙏
Frende is old norse, and frende is scotish to this day so we r connected. I am proud to be norw and scottish in or genes..
Aurora is a known lady of peace with a morbid sense of humor. I don't quite remember the context of her response to a question about being a plundering Viking. She responded we will take your brew and drink from your skulls. LVL(laughing very loud).
❤️❤️
Anything Aurora touches turns to starlight ...
Goosebumps EVERY time !! It’s just amazing isn’t it.
I felt like I was somewhere else.. I forget where I was.. Wow .. just wow
❤️❤️❤️ 🍁
You are absolutely crazy man! You know you're so damn entertaining to watch. The best reactor on this site RUclips! Your emotional intermezzos are fantastic and they feel so real: See that there are already people, for example, Tom has explained what it is about, so I do not lie. Simply heat the popcorn until the next AURORA reaction. IT IS A PAAAAARTY!!!!!
Thanks so much for this.. this means the world to me ❤️🙏🙏 thank you!
im from norway, im an adult man and havent cry since i cant remember. this gave me tears..
Wardruna made the music for the series "Vikings"
If you like this should also check: Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE
They call the music they make "amplified History"
The RUclips Rabbit Hole got me from Heilung to Wardruna to AURORA :)
Heilung have great songs and sound
Wardruna is awesome, ❤️. Heilung - other worldly, ancient, primal.
Vikings don't crucify, we give you the blood eagle.
❤️❤️❤️
I've heard this track about 150 times. Still giving me goosebumps 😍🤯
Every tracks Wardruna does is a musical interpretation of poems and writings from the viking age. Snorri Sturluson wrote poems (skald) in his book "Eddan" witch are what we base alot of what we think about the northerners (aka vikings). It's also one of those skald's that Einar is receding in the end of the song. In old norse.
"Deyr fé,
Deyja frændr,
Deyr sjalfr it sama,
En orðstírr
Deyr aldregi,
Hveim er sér góðan getr.
Deyr fé,
Deyja frændr,
Deyr sjalfr it sama,
Ek veit einn,
At aldrei deyr:
Dómr um dauðan hvern".
Roughly translated:
"Cattle die,
Friends die,
So, too, must you die.
Though one thing
Never dies;
The fair fame one has earned.
Cattle die,
Friends die,
So, too, must you die.
I know one,
That never dies;
Judgement of a dead man's life"
Oh shit, Wardruna!!!! Today is lit fam, Fable with all the drops.
1:40 talking about Vikings then goes straight to “don’t crucify me” haha! 🤣 I’m not going to explain the song or anything since others in the comments has done it already! Great reaction man! 🤩
😂😂😂😂 thanks man, really appreciate it ☺️❤️
Music from the times of my ancestors Hail Woden and the Old Gods.
Thank you! Thank you for reacting to Aurora. You definitelt have to reach to her live performance in Nidarosdomen. So magical, pure, beautiful!
I thougt you would enjoy this, but I didn't recomend it since my list was long already and here AURORA is a guest Singer. But it is so good, she fits right in with wardruna and that old viking vibe. It is a powerfull almost old magical music. Wardruna is a great band. I was going to see them this spring, but because of the corona it was put on hold.
It kind of gives some of the same feel as Hans Zimmer, it has that same greatness.
This tune, minus AURORA was used in vikings, so you are not of.
It is old norse, the language. So it is not easy to understand for any.
Looking forward to more reactions on AURORA.
☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Imagine only getting a fraction of the power by not watching it, only listening. I'm sure you would've gone nuclear though with the overload of watching AND listening!
Aurora is a Norwegian Viking Woman.
Aurora is a Norwegian Woman.*
I also get a Dead Can Dance vibe from it. How is it that I've never heard of Aurora until your reaction yesterday and Wardruna until now. I have Norwegian relatives too (by marriage - not mine).
I would think that Sissel (also Norwegian) would have been an influence on Aurora too...similar vibe to her vocals from Titanic.
Damn you Fable...now I'm going to have to download new (to me) music this weekend!
😂😂❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 thanks so much ❤️
I have seen many reactiones from helvegen on yt,but you are the only one,that reacts real on it.
yes,it goes deep
this song,this performance,there voices..whow
thanks for looking on it.
thanks for youre reaktion.
****** stars,like and sub.
( sorry for my bad english )
it started with local folk musics all over the world.. the funny thing is to sit so many years into the future, and can still "feel>" and hear. This song is a tribune to the dead, a funeral. where your clsed ones sings for you when you die, about what you have accomplished in life, the reputation you have built, is what will be remembered. every dies, except your reputation, so make sure you live well, and get a good reputation. it is norse and poems from the edda saga I believe.
At the end he say "tusen takk for oss" I will not translate. You will figure it out. Wy? Cos you want to find out.. The best gift.
👀👀❤️❤️ love it
Einar (the male singer and the man behind Wardruna) and Wardruna have had a lot of their music in the TV show Vikings. Einar has even appeared in an episode.
Wow, that’s awesome .. I did not know that, thank you ☺️❤️
Einar appeared in more episodes as I remember. And since then I fell in love with this type of music 😍 I am a new follower so I am a bit late 😅
One of my all time favourite live videos
I never grow tired of this song. Wardruna is great, but I feel if there were ever a personification of a Norse Valkyrie, it would be Aurora.
He actually made cameo appearances in Vikings, as the village bard. He also does a lot of throat singing and composed a lot of the music for the series. For example: the song during the blood eagle scene. That song is called 'Heimta Thurs.' Wardruna uses nothing but ancient nordic instruments for that authentic sound, like deer hide frame drums, lur, etc. They do it for that authentic Viking feel, which is Scandinavian (Norway in Wardruna's case). ALL their music is worth hearing, whether you're of Viking decent, or not.
FABLE NOW YOU ARE BEGINNIGN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT AURORA IMPLIES YOU ARE ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES WELCOME SHE'S GONNA BE 24 IN JUNE BUT SHE STARTED COMPOSING AT THE AGE OF 9 NOW THATS A LONG ROAD FOR SUCH A YOUNG KID BUT SHE IS ALREADY ENORMOUS
SHIT BRO IM 67 AND I LOVE THE LADY IMA KEYBOARD PLAYER MYSELF AND IVE LIVED MY LIFE IN ROCKNROLL OK ENOUGH HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
Wow, that’s amazing man!! Let me hear some of your stuff 👀👀 really appreciate the love and support 🙏☺️❤️
YES! AURORA and Wardruna ❤️❤️
Few pieces of music have shaken me to the core like this. On the top of my head it's this performance, and Pavarotti's performance of Nessun Dorma.
the lead male singer is a great dude called Einar Selvik, he was in charge of the music for the Vikings series
They had much music in Vikings. The lead singer also sang in an episode himself. ❤️
It's the kind of music where you have to wait for your skin to shed and replace itself, to get rid of those goosebumps... :)
This is a funeral song from the Scandinavian people back in tribal times. Its also a Heathen burial song for those who practice the ancient religion of the vikings and Scandinavian
That's a wonderfully profound interpretation. Good reaction
WardRuna are the group that's written most of the music to VIKINGs.
The song is built upon an old (real) kved(poem) about the road to HEL.
For the Norse Hel(l) was the place where we travel when we pass over (some sort of Heaven)
In Christian tradition all old tradition was heathen and Hel became the symbol of the total oposite of heaven.
The male singer, Norwegian Einar Selvik, is one of the foremost and most knowlegdeable in old Norse history and music.
This is the type of music that tells it's own tale without knowing the actual words and meaning. You feel it.
Again you impress me with your interpretation.
This years first MidnightSun hails you from Arctic Norway o/
❤️❤️❤️
@@thefablesphere Btw. listened, taken in the energy of Cancao do Mar.
Powerful! Fits perfectly for a girl born with her feet in the Arctic Ocean ;) Have a great weekend
This is seriously cool
i do like this band and my friend as i watch you have 3267 view i am seeing it coming you will be at 10k by aug. so happy for you!!!
I'm not setting any type of positive example by saying this, but this song is awesome to trip acid to!
😂😂😂😂😂 never done Acid but somehow I understand what you mean... ❤️🙏
@@thefablesphere I've only ever done it once, but I wanted to do it right. I chilled at my home, put on baggy soft clothes, had food already ready, and amazing meditative music like this. I had a friend in the other room babysitting me in case I went nutty lol apparently I was in a trance like state and stayed that way until he asked if I was hungry. To put it in his words, i became an IRL NPC. I died laughing when he said that
@@SkullQW hey man ,physcadelics are amazing , but i always reccomend physilbon over acid 😅 music like this would be amazing during a trip i always listen to pink floyd but next time if i was hearing this i would probably have some crazy out of body experience from my past life
Aurora when asked on a podcast if they drink very much in Norway, she said they are Vikings and so they are very good at drinking, and that she drinks her beer from the skulls of her enemies! 😀
Also check out Heilung in Madjan Live and Wardruna's new video for the song Lyfjaberg.
i always thought that the sound of that drum sounds like a heart beat, being sang to on the Norse Valhalla. it's so, so beautiful, having your dearest singing to you as your physical body dies. i was due to see Wardruna this past June. You should react to Heilung if you haven't already.
Dammit, i didnt notice this reaction. Wardruna is spiritual beauty. Aurora is perfect in this. When i die i want this song to accompany me to the other side.
8 people are protecting their anglo saxon monasteries O_O
You nailed it start to finish! I started my musical adventure with Aurora ,through Wardruna and
ended up with Heilung.
Helvegen is a very interesting song, especially for Wardruna it is a connection to what they want to convey with their music: A door to the past and a view on old customs and beliefs. Many of the "pagan" ideas from before christianity where destroyed and the sources and material for "pagan" knowledge, culture, religion and general life are quite few. Wardruna does something interesting: They "recreate" some ideas about paganism and the "viking" culture, that are somewhat hard to come by. So many of their songs touch different aspects of the life in the old days, but without being to concrete. We dont know a lot about the old ways and how the people lived in that time, so Wardruna does something that many tv shows and other bands do - they create history; so to speak their perspective on the past. Our knowledge on that exact past is not the best, because many sources did not survive until today, so they take things from written texts, inscriptions and modern folklore and create their songs from that. That has good and bad points, but overall they try to show that their culture had to offer.
(For those who might be interesting in why this is bad: We dont know how the people back then lived and what their religion looked like. Many people always have these ideas about the "nordic" pantheon and gods, but if you really look into the sources, we dont know that much. Many of the texts that we do have where written by christians or in a time when christianity was already the strongest religion. So our sources are not really reliable to say the least ;))
feel the spirit
Aurora ❤️❤️❤️
I felt like I was behind a wall with a free people like Jon Snow 🥰
Valhalla mentioned below is not a word you come across every day in the states. There's a Valhalla, NY (a little removed from NYC) and according to Wiki, the name does come from Norse Mythology. Thank you interwebs and smart people below...I learned something today.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I will try and break it down a little for historical context.
Æt og ære. Family and honour.
Those are the two most important things to keep in mind, when dealing with the era of the Norse.
Larsson = son of Lars. Sigrundottir = Daughter og Sigrun.
You trace the family line through the last name -- This is important -- HOWEVER!
The last stanza he sing-speaks at the end, is what I am guessing what inspired the song -- amongst other things of course.
There are a few variations of it, one I read in a book maaany years age "World of the vikings"
Dø skal du.
Dø skal jeg.
Dø skal gods.
Dø skal guld.
Jeg ved et, som aldrig dør.
Et navn vundet ved gerning.
Die shall you.
Die shall I.
Die shall possessions (Dual meaning of things and homestead)
Die shall gold.
I know one that shall never die.
A name won by deed.
So it tells us that something which is more important than all you can have and your mortal body. The name you gained by your deeds, who you were in life gave you a name, such a Smiling Lars. These "nick names" are personal and will stick.
Harald Bluetooth, is one such, and today Bluetooth is widely used as a technology, and it's logo is even the H and B runes combined.
A Danish king was named "Valdemar Atter dag" or "Valdemar another day" He didn't give a toss about the coronation and went to the inn and got a drink, maybe a woman or two. Thus they had to wait "atter en dag" "Another day".
I see some people put the translation on your wall here, though I must admit, you should do a little homework before the song and find a translation.
The translation tells you of a person's last time in this life.
Who will sing at my death? (Also see the death prayer by "the angel of death" in Norse religion lo here do I see my father, lo here do I see my line etc...) Who will sing at my death? The song is the last honour. When we go back in time we see "Songs shall be written about XYZ" so a great honour for kings or simple farmers.
We then need to look in to the 9 worlds of the Norse, the road to Helheim from Midgaard, the journey of the soul/spirit.
The song is also a way of telling the mythology to say -- children, or foreigners, in oral traditions.
I could go on, but by now I think you get the idea.
I hope this was informative, at least a chance to dip your toes in the water.
i love the purity of her tone.
Music, in its purest and spiritual form....
27 people are now terrified the travel restrictions will end and the vikings will start to travel again😜
If you liked this and the seed you should listen to under the wanter by her !! It’s so powerful.
The male vocalist is the former drummer of Norwegian blackmetal juggernauts Gorgoroth. Under the name Kvitrafn. Translates to (The)White Raven.
Funfact😄
Now you've jumped aboard the Norse music longboat you must react to Skald Rún, Eivor Pálsdóttir Trollibundin, Germarna Herr Mannelig and Heilung Krigsgaldr. Please do these you won't regret the journey.
Will absolutely do those ☺️❤️
Heilung!!!!
That would be my 4 Suggestions too !.....and further to the List MYRKUR (Folkesange) & the islandic Gods SIGUR ROS !
Viking music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs from a Dear !
Great reaction to a great song.
Einar Selvik, lead singer/writer for Wardruna has spoken about his affinity for learning about his ancient (Pre-Viking, he specifically says he has no interest in the Viking era) ancestral history and finding and/or creating instruments from history (some of which he has literally only read about and had to reverse-engineer based solely on a written description or reference) in order to make this music. He is all about connecting to nature-based sense of self and spirituality. He is a fascinating and magical human.

Wonderful reaction to a wonderful song and artist!
A couple of other songs to check out to get to know Aurora better as an artist:
- "Runaway" which is one of the first songs she wrote. She wrote it when she was 19 years old.
- "Murdersong 5,4,3,2,1" . Her performance of this song at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert is very powerful.
- "It Happened Quite" is amazing and the live version of this song from The Current is absolute magic.
You would probably also like her entire concert at Nidarosdomen and HAIK. Enjoy:)
Thanks so much for this.. I have added this to the list ❤️☺️
Very good Hans Zimmer observation. It is paced by breathing paced rhythmics on top of hearth beats.
As mentioned below - the lyrics (at the end) is straight out of Hávamál ("Wisdom of Odin") written down some 800 years ago - that explains the process of dying - and how we humans will sing the memory of people who did good forever after the dead pass over to Hel (which is not the Christian "hell").
And yes - this band is basically doing reconstructions of Viking age instruments. While exploring the topics and philosophies found in the old scriptures.
And yes - you should check out Aurora (live in Nidarosdomen is a good place to start. "Murder song (5-4-3-2-1)" is a good place to start. "True the Eyes of a Child" is also a good place to start.
Did you know that Twenty One Pilots were live on Jimmy Fallon and it's on RUclips? They performed Level of concern with friends (from their homes).
I did and we will react to it today ☺️❤️
Vikings and primitive man used Kirkehellerin cave for 6000 years - Aurora and Wardruna did this song in that cave so check out that version although the quality is much better on this one. It is a song for bringing warriors across the bridge of death into the afterlife. That's why that ancient horn is an important part, the dead will hear that horn and awaken to their final destiny.
Have you heard the new Wardruna song "Lyfjaberg", just released
My exs brother was the sound technician on this performance. That's why the sound is so good :p
Yes, Einar Selvik, the creator of the group Wardruna wrote a ton of the soundtrack for Vikings.
We sing our loved ones to eternal sleep.
Thanks for your reaction.
Another amazing Viking band is Heilung, though the kinda say they are more Bronze age band, Heilung means healing, and the song is Krigsgaldr, (Krieg is germanic for war, and galdr is nordic and means magic. )
here is the best live version.
