- Eivør - Falling Free is my first encounter with Eivør! SO glad many of you have recommended this wonderful talent! I was transported to another place while listening to her. So incredible...
![[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Eivør- Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn)- AMAZING](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/y4G-wd1cky0/mqdefault.jpg)
She's not Norwegian, she's Faeroese. And she's wonderful. I saw her a couple of weeks ago in London and she's magnificent live. If she comes your way I'd really recommend going to see her.
I'm going to see her in March 2022. I was going to see her in October but the show got cancelled... Heartbreaking I know.
@@bjornbear6856 I saw her in october, and she was slightly ill. However, it was quite magnificant:) My frist time with a band, frist time I saw her (6-7 y’s. ago) she was on her own.
Thanks for sharing! Great review!
She’s amazing. Give Trøllabundin a listen.
Eivør Pálsdóttir is from Faroe Islands which are under Denmark, she can sing in english, icelandic, ,swedish,danish and faroese of course. She just won this: Faroese musician Eivør Pálsdóttir has won the 2021 Nordic Council Music Prize for her tireless work-ethic over the past years which has cast a spotlight on her home country and her meticulous work with her musical heritage and native language.
She spoke norwegian here tho🤭
@@Lunnis Faroese and Norwegian can be similar sometimes, doubt she would speak norwegian at home in Faroe Islands =)
@@Lunnis no she didn't!
@@mark2shooter yes she did🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Lunnis did she speak norwegian???
If she did, I lost it😃
The constant smile on your face said everything. 😁
She's coming to North America soon. If you have the chance to see her live, go and do it. It's so worth it.
Eivør is amazing. A "one of a kind" singer. I love her voice , songs and her beloved Faroe Islands! 🥰
Eivor is from Fareoislands. They are the next islands to Iceland and our language almost the same. She studied song in Iceland and we are lucky to have her sometimes. But she is from the beautiful Faroeislands.
I love seeing people react to Eivor especially this song as it's just perfection. Eivor is from The Faroe Islands. Enjoy discovering her 💜
Everything from this performance was elite. From the sound engineers, the lighting, the band, the arrangement and last but not least, the absolute slaying of the vocals by Eivor. This is on my top performances of all time.
MORE EIVØR!
So glad you finally got to see this one! Your “mind blown” reaction was just the same as mine! Eivør (pronounced I-vor) is from the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴. Since discovering her I’ve actually traveled to there twice to experience it’s otherworldly beauty. I’ve posted a number of travel videos from there on my RUclips channel. There is much much more Eivør awesomeness out there. I hope you’ll check out her live version of “True Love” - performed in Reykjavik. I’ll send you the link. Scandinavia is definitely filled with so many wonderful musical treasures!
Eivør- True Love - Live from Iceland

And another amazing one by Eivør is “Wake Me Up” - Live. This was performed on the same night as the “Falling Free” video you just reacted to.

Blown away!
So happy to see you’ve got this amazing song and Faroe woman in your life now I listen to it often to clear the days stresses and worries . The band are so into it too. Welcome to the beautiful voice of Eivor , lots of wonderful live performances for us all to enjoy with you , excellent reaction Larry.
Please listen to her song Tollabundin, the venue is amazing, outdoors!
Ok she has me hooked amazing..🤓👍👍
the vocals you hear around 10:30 are called kulning, which is an ancient vocal method to communicate between long distances, for example during sheep herding
Not from Norway, but from The Faroe Islands (I'm a native 😮). Thanks for a beautiful reaction 😀
Just for your information Eivør is touring in USA and Canada in this right moment 🤌🏻🇫🇴
You are the first person who has noted the importance of the guitar arrangement and teasing chords here too - and how it helps frame the astonishing vocal. It was the same with Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah - the guitar arrangement was exceptional and integral too in that case (similar cathedral like tone too), and no-one ever notices it. Eivor often sings this to a piano accompaniment (and did so in London a couple of weeks ago - i was lucky enough to be there) but for me, the guitar arrangement is more evocative and there's something about her voice and fingers working together that elevates this performance. It's one for the ages.
No no no, she's from the feroe islands
!! 💙from Norway! She's the best...💙💙💙👍👍👍👍
Love this amazing performance 💖💖💖
More Eivor reaction man she is amazing..she is Like the lost mother of Aurora and Kalandra another great Norwegian artist haha 😁🔥🔥🤘🤘
Hello ! And yet another one who's worshipping Eivor's best song... and I can only HIGHLY recomnend to check out other songs from her, since she has vey big variety of different styles, ranging from rock, over pop, folk and classical music. There is so much more brilliant stuff from her to discover. I would HIGHLY recommend some for you to react to :
Trodlabundin (Live 10.08.13) - This is TOTALLY different from what you have just heard, but it's at least as captivating as "Falling free"... sung in her native language (Faroese)
Gullspunnin (Live at KVF) - Another great song of her, sung in her native language (Faroese !)
Monster - Hauntingly beautiful song... just her voice and a kalimba
Slor (London solo session) - Also a beautiful song, just her and a guitar...
There are many other songs you could react to, but these I would recommend to check out next.
Best wishes from a German Eivor fan, who just experienced one of her live performances last month... and it was MAGICAL
Gerry
not her best song, but definitely one of her great songs. Verð mín, Remember me among others are better in my humble opinion.. But fallen free is great👍
She also does (I think form this same show, but I'm not certain), my second-favorite cover of my Favorite Leonard Cohen song: _Famous Blue Raincoat._
The magical Eivor! Surrender - London Solo Sessions would be a good pick for another great Eivor performance.
A few suggestions if you want to react to more Eivor (pronounced Eye Vor) I would suggest the music videos for "Into the Mist" and "True Love" or pick any live performance from her. She is a fabulous performer and can do some interesting things with her voice.
More from them for sure, shes got way cool other songs as well.
More Eivør pls!!!
It’s always such fun to watch someone experience Eivor for the first time! 🥰
She isn’t Norwegian, she’s from the little Island nation of Færøyar in the North sea. She lives in Denmark. She is a great artist!
Not the North Sea, but the North Atlantic.
She's just great. Has been in my playlist for a long time.
The song is basically a one big build up from start to finish. That's why it's a pity because of the interruptions in between. Of course, it is in the nature of reaction videos that one always falls by the wayside and that is the whole feeling that a song wants to convey.
Nevertheless, I like to watch your videos, because at least in the interruptions you have something clever to say about it and also pay attention to lyrics.
As Aurora once expressed very sympathetically, Norwegians do not have much to do in winter in their free time. It's almost always night, darkness reigns and that's when you start singing and making music to counteract depression. That's what she said.
thank you for awesome reaction and video 👍 so glad you loved it ;)
There are so mutch mutch more of Eivor to explore for you💙💙
Hi Chris,I'm first commenter today! Wonderful reaction.I just discovered Eivor a couple of weeks ago too,but have only listened to a couple of her songs.What a singer! This beautiful haunting song is one that I will return to again and again, it's incredible.I think you should put her on your list!
Not Norwegian, but close. She is from Faroe Islands that are placed in the North Sea between Norway and Scotland. The diftong Ø is more like the start of "ea-rning"
Think you will love this performance done in Norway: ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html
I think you got a bit lost on your travels ... The Faroe Islands are about half way between Iceland and Shetland (northernmost Scottish islands).
@@TheVirtualWatcher Correct, but I really used Norway and Scotland as reference since around the world many people now where they are. I do think few now Shetland some more now where Iceland is. So between Norway/Scotland and Iceland would have been a better reference.
This artist took me to another dimension - just amazing vocals and arrangements. Thank you for posting!
Saw her live in Manchester England a few weeks ago-she's incredible. Been a fan for a few years-she did this amazing song and many more!..Memorable experience. 'Red Moon' from Norway was a good opening act too -nice contrast.
Trollabund live
I love her so much -- she has loads of wonderful songs --- please do more! --- you wont be sorry
One of my favorite artist
I absolutely love her voice💜
Transformational. I found Eivor a couple of years ago. I don't understand why she isn't an international sensation. I hope her tour raises awareness of her sublime talent.
join the club, never heard of this artist so i am reactin with ya lol
You can't go wrong reacting to Eivor songs. She has so many great ones.
She can perform crazy levels of vocals. If you are intrigued how far she can go, just check “boxes” in her live version of 2012
This song... I always get goose bumps and sometimes I cry. Such a wonderful song. Something about female vocalists who are this well trained/experienced/accomplished... whatever the word is just hits me in the grey matter at an angle that empties the emotion water.
She is amazing 🤩🤩 she is from Faroe Island. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Icelandic (Feroes island) Palsdottir!
That was flawlessly magnificent! WOW! ❤️❤️❤️ Yes please🙏🤍more of eivor please😊if yt allows. TY🙋🏻♀️
Really glad you reactet to her now! There are only a few female artists like Eivør (Aurora, Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen...).
Magical and pure!
Hi there Derek ! Super awesome to see that you chose to react to this one. As I've told you, I rank this particular performance WAY,WAY up there among the best. It's just something with the whole package - Her vocals, the instrumentals, the music build-up, the lighting and the intimacy - you name it.
Luckily, Eivõr is not a one trick pony, very far from it. She has released a ton of great songs, and her integrity as a vocalist, a composer/music producer and an artist is extremely strong.
In 2019 she realeased an album called "Live In Tórshavn". IMO that album has absolutely NO weak parts whatsoever. It can ofc be found in Spofity. As it happens, the very first track on that album, called "Mjørkaflókar" is also one of my favorites by her, and is still goosebumps-inducing after what must be like listen number 100 or so...lol I'll give you the link here : ruclips.net/video/6-FN8p8ZrDY/видео.html IMO the sound isn't perfect here, so I'll give you a link for another mv to the same song, which is a lyrics video, but with beautiful sound and beautiful, relaxing visuals : ruclips.net/video/AZPR15Flges/видео.html For a reaction I think I would have chosen the latter and then watch the live on your own. In the lyrics video you also get to see what the written language of the vikings looked like (Icelandic hasn't changed all that much in 1000 years... )
Here in the Nordics you can find a particular, almost hauntingly beautiful music style that almost can't be found anywhere else. And we also have a very particular vocal style, that can be found in a few other cultures as well. It consists of what most precicely can be described as guttural sounds. She demonstrates this style very well in one of her most popular songs, called "Trøllabundin". "Trøllabundin" also has a very beautiful music video to go with it, shot above the fjords here in Norway, and is something to behold for sure. I'll give you a link for that one too : ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html
Eivõr ( Listen to the Norwegian pronunciation here: translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=no&text=Eiv%C3%B8r%0A&op=translate&hl=no ) lives in Iceland, but is born Faeroese. So she is a neighbour of ours. Close m8, but no cigar.
Thanks again buddy for doing this. I'll call you Chris for hereon out if you give her a few more shots. It will be well worth your time and effort, and I don't think you have to worry about yor reactions getting stricken down either, which must be a great plus :-)
Warm greetings from an ever colder Norway❤❤❤ (My favorite season is fast approaching, so no complaints from ME, AKA The Viking though...lol )
I heard her at Copenhagen Jazz House in, like 2015? Unique singer!
She is not from Norway, but very close. Just a little bit over the water.
She is from Farao Islands. Hope spelling is correct.
So same language origin and traditions are similiar.
But if you would like a norwegian example of what the water can do, listen to Kalandra.
Eivor is not Norwegian, she is from the Faroe Islands. She is terrific. Aurora is still my favorite Scandinavian, but Eivor is in my top 3 favorites. Another Norwegian band to try is Kalandra. They are fabulous too. Here is a link to Kalandra and their song "Brave new world" if you want to check them out.
ruclips.net/video/C3YC1FGLxUw/видео.html
As others wrote, she's from the Faroe Islands, an Autonomous territory of islands in the North Atlantic sea.
The population is around 53.000, so roughly 1% of the population attended this concert.
And yeah, she's amazing. I don't know of any singer, who can do what she can, with her voice. You only heard half of it, in this video.
Hello. I've not hurd of this person.. let's see how good this is.
Ok she sounds good. 👍
Do the deep dive on Eivor there is so much to discover.
More place👍👍👍
I had not seen her before but she was amazing. I am not sure if you are able t connect with other youtube channels but there is a man from Ireland who is a professional singer/ comedian /reactor (It's Me, Barry). He reacts a lot to PTX even plays their songs twice a reaction and a review, He has said he has written and got some kind of approval from them. I don't know how that is done but he seems like a nice guy maybe he might give you some information on that. On the other hand, there are other acapella groups that might be easier to react to that are just as good Homefree "Ring Of Fire" is great. (they are more country and gospel with some pop). There is also VoicePlay, a very theatrical group, They have a Viking song "My Mother Told Me".
Eivør`s Love song to her Lord, JESUS`` ❤
Eivør's other-worldy, lets face it. We're not worthy.
She deserves a place in the line-up for sure. I saw her live a couple of weeks ago in Hamburg. Hardly 100 attendants in a very small round (!) venue with perfect accoustics.
It was such a treat. You already got a few more suggestions for her songs here in the comments. Let me add 'Salt - Live at the train-warehouse' to the list, or pick any of her songs by yourself.
You can't go wrong with any of them.
On the road of incredible artists from scandinavia, I would like to add Kalandra ... maybe 'Brave New World' for a start.
Either in the Gildehallen at Borre or in the Kulturkirken Jakob, but in any case live.
Enjoy !
im a huge Aurora fan but also a big Eivør fan aswell i feel like lots of Aurora fans are Eivør fans or know of her so yes i think you should put her in the line up. :)
i went to see Eivør live a few weeks ago best musical experience of my life, im also going to see Aurora next year can't wait to be with my fellow Warriors & Weirdos
Nice!!!!
She comes from the Faroe Islands, which is pretty close to Norway :-)
What I think you shouldn't miss from her is "True Love" live at Sofar Los Angeles. Definitely worth listening/seeing:
ruclips.net/video/NA5dnFUh-EU/видео.html
I don't know if I ever heard a more beautiful thing than this song .
If you pick this song, please, please make sure you choose this Sofar live session, because even though the studio version is also great (not to mention the hauntingly beautiful official video), this live performance raises the song into a whole new level.
Found your channel through you Disturbed - Sound Of Silence reaction. Though I didn't comment there, I have to say that I really enjoyed that reaction and seeing your soul get rocked by David's vocals 😁
Speaking on this(Eivor - Falling Free) reaction, a couple things to point out. She is not from Norway, but actually from the Faroe Islands. She is an amazing writer/performer/artist. She also writes music in her native Faroese language with influences with the Faroe Islands' folk(traditional) music.
Being a die hard metal head, Nord music is probably second for me, as it's very ethereal, earthy, raw and reconnects my spirit to my body, as it tends to drift off randomly 🤣
I highly recommend her live performance of the song Trodlabundin, shot in Norway. It's one of her traditional style songs sung in her native Faroese language, and it is mind blowing. Here is the link to the correct video - ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html
Hi Larry ! It was so great to my ear to hear another bunch of compliments for my favorite EIVOR!!! It feels great to hear analyses/compliments to Eivor from musical experts like you! There are maybe 30 songs, or so... I would like to recommend as the next one to review. But now I would go for "Gullspunnin" from "I Luftini" (from Eivor's latest album). Eivor is a very nice lady, supertalanted in music + painter, painting beutiful pieces of art. A Lady with the very good sense of humor. I did have luck to meet her in person 2 months ago in UK :) If you are in US she will be there on Tour within 2 weeks time :) P.S. Yes, Eivor is from Faroe Islands, but she have sung even in my native (Latvian) language :) P.P.S. For all of you over there in US - she is coming for US Tour in 2 weeks time!
Sure! On the list :)
Hi! You absolutely have to listen to Sissel singing,, Slow Down``
I have just been to her Concert in Germany. It blew me away.
But this Song is as good as its get.
Just trollabundin can keep Up with this.
Ther ist a nice Performance on a Farm on the Faroer Islands with is great.
There are no words for delight!Thank you, my friend, great reaction!Listen to Alice Supronova, who sings in the 4 octave range.Beautiful timbre and strong voice!You will be delighted! Give a link?👏😲🇷🇺
Finaly EIVOR!!!
She is AMAZING!!!
Her songs and voice is on another level!
You should check out her song Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin).
This is the opposite to Falling free. It's just Eivor and a drum...

Eivør deserves a big audience in a stadium or the likes. However the two times Íve seen her - once with band and once on her own - it was in a small venue, which I deeply appreciate:) BTW she is neither Norwegian or Danish, but Faroese, a country in it´s own right, however a Scandinavian brother - in this case sister:) in the North.
Thank you very much for a heartfelt and meaningful reaction! My suggestions for reaction are her versions of the songs "Heyr Himna Smiður" (Icelandic hymn), "May It Be" (Enya song), "Bird on a wire" (Leonard Cohen song, check #ISLANDROADS version) and "Song to the siren" (Tim Buckley song). It all are indescribable.
Eivør has already written about a hundred songs, some of which are as beautiful as Falling Free. Moreover, each of her next album is far different from the previous one. The number of collaborations with other musicians is almost incalculable, partly because some of this has not been released and has seen only by the lucky few (for example, her lead role in the opera about Marilyn Monroe in Canada).
Diving into her work, you will need to hold your breath for a very long time...
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm looking for more recommended content and will be sure to save your comments and dive in for some more reaction videos! Thank you!
Larry please listen to Eivor Palsdottir singing Trodlabunden. It’s fabulously wonderful!
If you want to hear a Norwegian singer, take a look on the M83 & Susanne Sundfor performing Oblivion (live @ Jimmy Kimmel. After that, I recommend also taking a look on the same song performed by Floor Jansen.
Next: Kalandra, please !!!
And you Larry very handsome 💜
Awww, you're too kind!
Eivör might not be strictly Norwegian, but she is even better - a very, VERY close cousin: A Faeroese! Her native language can be classified (along with Icelandic) as the oldest Norwegian dialects, only much closer to Old Norse than modern Norwegian (again, along with Icelandic).
The standout from Eivor is this recording of "Trodlabundin" filmed at a small concert by a fjord in Norway (ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html). A mesmerizing performance in a spectacular location.
I also thought about how small the actual audience was for that level of production. Was this some shareholder event?
Hi 👋 I am gonna throw in another great norwegian... Kurt Nilsen. He won the only World Idol which has been... guess who came in at number 2..... Kelly Clarkson 😀. Kurt has a wonderful voice and comes from the same city as Aurora ❤
I hear an echo of Kate Bush in her voice. Not a criticism, both are top class.
There are another two amazing artists in Norway man that you should check SUSSANE SUNDFOR and Kalandra 🔥🔥🤘🤘
Please watch her make the songs from the show The last kingdom!!!! She is even more amazing if that’s possible….
Look for the epic Trødlabundin, live outside in a fjord.
She is more Norwegian than any from Norway, but yeah.. she is from Faroe Island..
Maybe its the Birch water, longstanding tradition if the northern climate people. Nordic culture calls it strengthening the marrow after long winter. Tap the birch sap water, highly nutritional! And its self fermenting after a short bit and you got birch beer.
She reminds me of someone, but can't quite place it. Maybe Loreena Mckennit meets Dennis DeYoung..lol. Very talented and yes agree, hauntingly beautiful.
Ahhh someone else said Kate Bush, that might be where I was going.
Oh ... and don't forget a previous recommandation :
- You like beautiful voices ?
- You like beautiful videos ?
- You like nordic european music ?
... have a look at the official video of Wardruna - Kvitravn
Every, single 1st-timer EXHALES when it's done- lol.
I would suggest Home Free an accapella group similar to Pentatonics, they have lots of covers, American Pie, by Don McLean, or Man of Constant Sorrow.
If you haven't done wardruna yet you need to. Amazing Norwegian group.
Faroese! Not Norwegian! Listen to Gullspunnin, another one of her pearls ❤️
Sir, please react to Polish Janis Joplin, Natalia Sikora, Cry baby in the Voice of Poland, blind audition. You'll not regret it. Btw, your reactions are one of a kind. Awesome job.
Hi, i love your reactions and we share the same taste in music so far. There is one song you HAVE to listen to from Norway. It is «Susanne Sundfør» and the song is «When the lord» Shes inspired both Aurora and Angelina, just bring tissues…lots and lots of tissues
Thanks Geir!
That will go on my list! When I get there, watch for a shoutout!
Nice reaction on a epic performance
When The Lord by Susanne Sundfør is truly special. Incredibly strong in SO many different ways. Great suggestion. I'll include the link just in case : ruclips.net/video/1oWFCkcdmZI/видео.html
(Skal jammen si vi er på et korstog for å få norsk musikk inn i USA. Det trengs der.... 😉 )
Hey Carl! Just wanted to let you know that I read your other comment but sometimes it doesn't let me reply, so replying here... I'll Definitely be checking the links you sent to me. Thank you my friend, and enjoy the weather!
@@larryshair Thanks Chris ? Strange that you're not able to comment directly to my comment. Sounds like some kind of a bug. Thanks for letting me know though. Yes, please check them out. Not planning on letting you down anytime soon m8. You're safe. BTW, you can call me Hans if you want. Hans-Jørgen actually :-) But Hans will do 😉😂
@@poolhallshark Nice! Glad to know all "Hans" are on deck!
@@larryshair Haha. Nice one! 😆
I love her 🔥 you have to listen to «trøllabundin» It is magical!
Dont think it is the water, I think it is something with the air. She is not the only one from those Islands. With a very small population.
Btw, she was entitled with a danish version of "Lord" by the Danish queen.
Eivør is absolutely fantastic! Unique and special in all the good ways 😍. I could only wish she was norwegian😊. There is another norwegian singer songwriter i so strongly believe you would appreciate, Susanne Sundfør. She is absolutely magnificent, and also kind of paved the way for our young queens that you listen to. I'd suggest giving "when the Lord" a listen, a song she made for a norwegian documentary about Lene Marie Fossen, a leding photographer here in Norway, which struggled with anorexia. The official music video gives a small insight into her life with the beautiful song from Susanne. I really don't think you'll be disappointed, but the content is strong and graphic, but very serious and important with a theme that is more and more a struggle for too many young ones in these times. I do urge you to give Susanne a try, and also her song "undercover" and the song "Oblivion" from the movie with the same name, live of course 😉 love your reactions, hugs from Norway 🤗
This is first time hearing for me. It's a wonderful experience but I'm hearing a variety of background info that I hope can be cleared up: Eivor Is or is not Norwegian? Group is Eivor? Lead singer is Supronova? She is not quite Norwegian?
Her name is Eivør Pálsdóttir! She is NOT Norwegian! She is from the Faroe islands!
@@Marta-oc8ng Thanks,Marta. Looking forward to hearing more from her she's tops.
