@@Dazza010 anything live by her is just pure bliss, as well as the studio versions. the yodel-like part in the end of the video is called kulning, an ancient vocal technique used during sheep herding, to call for the animals over long distances. her song "tides" is also very cool because it has such a deep connection with faeroese mythology
She does whatever she wants with her voice. Some evidence: “boxes”, live version of 2012, “true love”, live in the same concert in 2012, “wake me up” live version
I enjoy seeing people react for the first time to this amazing lady. Plenty of other songs of hers to react to already mentioned. If you watch Netflix you might have already come across her singing and tribal chanting without knowing it. Her background singing/chanting is all over the Viking drama series ‘The Last Kingdom’.
Here's a favorite from her. Just her and her drum. A Faroe Island folk song sung out in the open air on a Norwegian fjord. Tròdlabùndin: ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html
She is amazing, I saw her in a concert in her hometown on the Faeroe Islands last year. Truly one of the best I have ever been to. The obvious next step for you is another live song, but more folk style. ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html . Enjoy!
She is so talented. Great artist to check out. She is one of my favs, along with Aurora. As for more to check out from Eivor, I would suggest the music videos for "Into the mist" and "True love" ....And yes, this is her original song.
Love the build up of this song, she creates a very hypnotic atmosphere here. Eivor received classical voice education that you can listen in the end of the song. If you would like to listen to more tribal scandinavian/viking music with beautiful chanting, I would highly recommend to take a look at the song "Anoana" from "Heilung".
This certainly was incredible. I have added Anoana to the list. I am still trying to focus more on new artist that I have yet to cover on the channel so this is perfect, thank you.
Eivor's from the the Faroe Islands, which are a country that is ruled by Denmark, BUT has a unique culture and language --- check out any of her many videos of "Trollabundin" ( Trodlabundin ) in which she sings in her native Faroese......
Thanks for checking this one out, Daz! And awesome that you liked it. Tbh, this is as upbeat as you'll ever hear her, I just find this whole performance and arrangement top notch. Would have given my little finger to be there... Hehe I have to use this account now, as I can't write a single comment on the other one. Take care, Daz!
Did you reach your comment limit on the last account? lol. This was a great performance and definitely an artist I want to explore more off. Saying that this is as upbeat as it gets is like music to my eyes. Do love a slow jam lol.

@@Dazza010 glad to hear! both artists are absolute phenomenal, as well as eivør is! i think i know some really good artists most people havn't heard of yet. im exited whats coming up next!
@@Dazza010 after listening to eivør i came back to anna von hausswolff and listened to mysterious vanishing of electra- music video once again, and the rawness of her emotions during this song are so thrilling! i forgot to mention that she is also owner of pomperipossa records, where you can find really special metal music. you need to check out a couple of her songs to understand how big her repertoir is
@@Dazza010 and the susanne sundfør song "when the lord" is a feature song for a documentary about the norwegian photgrapher lene marie fossen, called self portrait. lene suffered from anorexia since the early age of ten. she made the most beautiful portraits, using a simple hand camera. she passed away very short before the documentary premiered. this song will never leave my heart and just writing about it brings me to tears. for me, both women, lene and susanne, became immortal with this song and a must watch for any music lover.
@@Dazza010 here is a bit of a back story to the song tides: sad lyrics are within the dna of nordic music. many songs are somehow very sad like her song tides: seven moonlit tears I cried tides collided in my eyes waves can wound a moonlit shore, but they can’t hurt me anymore tangled in my mother’s hair currents combed my bones bare her currents swirled though my ribs spinning seaweed to selkie skin ashore I dance the sacred night a surging wave of pale moonlight a seal-spun daughter of the tides never again a captive bride the background of this song is super interesting and referres to the legend of kópakonan: Kópakonan (Seal Woman) The legend of Kópakonan (the Seal Woman) is one of the best-known folktales in the Faroe Islands. Seals were believed to be former human beings who voluntarily sought death in the ocean. Once a year, on the Thirteenth night, they were allowed to come on land, strip off their skins and amuse themselves as human beings, dancing and enjoying themselves. A young farmer from the village of Mikladalur on the northern island of Kalsoy, wondering if this story was true, went and lay in wait on the beach one Thirteenth evening. He watched and saw the seals arriving in large numbers, swimming towards the shore. They clambered on to the beach, shed their skins and laid them carefully on the rocks. Divested of their skins, they looked just like normal people. The young lad stared at a pretty seal girl placing her skin close to the spot where he was hiding, and when the dance began, he sneaked up and stole it. The dancing and games went on all night, but as soon as the sun started to peep above the horizon, all the seals came to reclaim their skins to return to the sea. The seal girl was very upset when she couldn’t find her skin, though its smell still lingered in the air, and then the man from Mikladalur appeared holding it, but he wouldn’t give it back to her, despite her desperate entreaties, so she was obliged to accompany him to his farm. He kept her with him for many years as his wife, and she bore him several children; but he always had to make sure that she didn’t have access to her skin. He kept it locked up in a chest to which he alone had the key, a key which he kept at all times on a chain attached to his belt. One day, while he was out at sea fishing with his companions, he realised he had left the key at home. He announced to his companions, ‘Today I shall lose my wife!’ - and he explained what had happened. The men pulled in their nets and lines and rowed back to the shore as fast as they could, but when they arrived at the farm, they found the children all alone and their mother gone. Their father knew she wasn’t going to come back, as she had put out the fire and put away all the knives, so that the young ones couldn’t do themselves any harm after she’d left. Indeed, once she had reached the shore, she had put on her sealskin and plunged into the water, where a bull seal, who had loved her all those years before and was still waiting for her, popped up beside her. When her children, the ones she had had with the Mikladalur man, later came down to the beach, a seal would emerge and look towards the land; people naturally believed that it was the children’s mother. And so the years passed. Then one day it happened that the Mikladalur men planned to go deep into one of the caverns along the far coast to hunt the seals that lived there. The night before they were due to go, the man’s seal wife appeared to him in a dream and said that if he went on the seal hunt in the cavern, he should make sure he didn’t kill the great bull seal that would be lying at the entrance, for that was her husband. Nor should he harm the two seal pups deep inside the cave, for they were her two young sons, and she described their skins so he would know them. But the farmer didn’t heed the dream message. He joined the others on the hunt, and they killed all the seals they could lay their hands on. When they got back home, the catch was divided up, and for his share the farmer received the large bull seal and both the front and the hind flippers of the two young pups. In the evening, when the head of the large seal and the limbs of the small ones had been cooked for dinner, there was a great crash in the smoke-room, and the seal woman appeared in the form of a terrifying troll; she sniffed at the food in the troughs and cried the curse: ‘Here lie the head of my husband with his broad nostrils, the hand of Hárek and the foot of Fredrik! Now there shall be revenge, revenge on the men of Mikladalur, and some will die at sea and others fall from the mountain tops, until there be as many dead as can link hands all round the shores of the isle of Kalsoy!’ When she had pronounced these words, she vanished with a great crash of thunder and was never seen again. But still today, alas, it so happens from time to time that men from the village of Mikladalur get drowned at sea or fall from the tops of cliffs; it must therefore be feared that the number of victims is not yet great enough for all the dead to link hands around the whole perimeter of the isle of Kalsoy. the statue in good weather: ruclips.net/video/JZOatyzix-o/видео.html and in storm: ruclips.net/video/6ULOiyjswhs/видео.html finally, tides live ruclips.net/video/FJ02h5Ee6HI/видео.html

Greatest live performance I've ever seen, how about everyone else? Her Pitch is truly beyond belief.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen, Eivor is just on another level. This is an original song, she does mostly original songs,
This was incredible and she is an artist I definitely want to see more off. The list of reactions for her is growing :)

seven moonlit tears I cried

waves can wound a moonlit shore,

never again a captive bride
