Gåte’s music is a dark, mesmerizing and stunningly beautiful take on Nordic folk. Where they flirt with elements from traditional Norse and pagan music as well as from more modern genres like rock and industrial.
I would call myself decently versed in nordic folk music but I somehow never heard of this band. What the hell this is so cool. And it says they've been around since 1999 which makes them among, if not the first modern band of this type!
Gåte had a huge success in the early 2000's, untill they split up in 2005, when the vocalist was tired and wanted to have a normal life. For twelve years I never completely lost hope of them reuniting, and a few concerts now and then kept the light of hope burning. Finally the joy was huge when their return was announced in 2017! I recommend you to check out their early work. They have a lot of great tracks, both new and old.
@@franlovelsimic8421 You're most welcome! Happy listening. Personally I like the more rock heavy tracks better, but they are all interesting and unique. They are one of my top favourite bands, and some day I got to catch them live. They are so energetic and magical live!
Oh my god!!! How did I miss this!!!! Saw them at Train in Århus last year, one of the best concerts of my life!!!!!! My expectations were somewhat high, but they more than tripled that!!!!
I cannot believe that this band was even considered for Eurovison by Norway? It was always destined to get no points, given that its music isn't the usual throwaway, eurovision, camp cheese. I'm glad they were, though, because I have found a new favourite band, even if I haven't got a clue what the lyrics mean.
Ok so I did some research and judging by the translation of the lyrics, this song is about the Huldra, a creature from Norwegian folklore. Her attributes are different depending on the source, but she's usually depicted as a seductive female spirit with antlers, a cow's tail and a distinctive hollow back reminiscent of a hollowed out tree. Huldra are also found in Swedish folklore as Skogsrået, who are said to lure people into the forest, where they're never seen again.
В жилах стынет кровь... Привет из Украины. Вы единственные в своем роде. Просто респект. Жаль , не смотрела Евровидение, только сейчас увидела, голосовала бы за вас.
Can anyone translate this? I looked for translations online and there aren't any. I've been working on it with my limited Norwegian and the pronunciation and some of the words are really throwing me. Is this an older variant of Norsk or dialectual? I don't struggle with understanding their other songs.
Yeah, its an older versjon of Norwegian, we Norwegians Can bearly understand it our self😂 its called «ny norsk» its still people who talk this way in norway, but not that many. Search english to nynorsk and i think it will work😄😄
I love the music, the voice, the whole everything... but i dont see pole dancing in it all.. an etheral dance in the forest with a delicate dress, or no dress at all- yes... the dancer got the right moves for it... it doesnt match the picture of the whole thing in my head at least. i belive pole dancing is the thing now.... great music, great voice, love it all anyway
Huldra is a mythological seductive forest creature. I think we got to see a "modernized" huldra. Together with the modern music, it fits the picture, in my opinion :)
The mighy magical hulder is seductive and beautiful. So, I think a pole dancing hulder is for sure a good setting in the modern world. Hypnotising - untouchable, always beautiful - but we never know who she fully is? Watch out - Is there a hollow back to be seen? Spin, spin - or walk and roam in the woods? For me it does not matter. Huldra - some sort of a "subterranean queen"? She is mythical - so there is no excat answer. What I do know - the lady of the forest is roaming free ... in the woods, in the folk tales, in our culture and in our heritage. Old mythology and painters had their version - Gåte have their own. I am an old black metal man - but still have a really soft spot for a "hulder tale". I grew up with stories from our Norse world - including this magical female phenomenon. I do not get offended or hurt if there is a pole included - that is how Gåte sees the old meeting the new world... Folktales/walking legend - or just a statement from the mythologi about the great world of seidr? Pole or no pole - huldra is like a magical practise that set the tone, without people able to touch or reach the magical beauty roaming in the woods. This might be why christian people marched against all kind of folk tales - or was scared about the power of what people had in their heart and mind from generation to generation. The christians labeling women as witches and set them on fire. They could burn "witches" - but how to burn huldra?
@@Synna89 You'd be surprised. We have a large pole scene and regional competitions. There are two studios that are walking distance from where I live, and the LGBT+ community has done a lot to normalize pole as sport.
The fact tha I could get to know Gate is the best thing during Eurovision this year. Thank you Norwegians that you have chosen them ❤
Thanks to Eurovision I can here new melodies. You awesome great!
Yes. perhaps. it was the best at Eurovision.
You just made me loose interest... it wasn't that much though
Was surprised to discover such a diamond on ESC. Amazing music, and the voice is beyond any compliments

You're only allowed to play violins/fiddles in an epic way if at least one bowstring has snapped

Norwegians are way ahead of Americans when it comes to accepting pole dance and fitness as a sport. Thankfully 😊!

It’s PERFECT for a huldrawoman!
Попсовенько.... Норвегія може краще. Наприклад, норвезький black metal краще за це.
