In my opinion, her Merging with the bison symbolized her final stage of stepping into her power as Anoana, protector of the people and the land. It was not suicide or end of life. It was transcendence, complete fulfillment of her shamanistic powers.
I was wondering if she wasn't in fact taking the ox's life. We saw that she could give life back with the bird, but in Nature things need to die too, things that have grown too old may need to be put down. What made me think of this is the fact that we see images of the same ox with the child petting it. She's older now, but so is it. My 2 cents.
@@xen0bia the ox depicts and symbolizes the rune Uruz. The man dancing around the fire with the antlers also makes the Uruz rune (also seen in the clip of Norupo where they dance the shapes of the runes). Uruz is the runic symbol of unstoppable primal force (anger, fear, hope, survival etc. in their purest form) . While she was younger she would caress and embrace her primal force (coping mechanisms/survivalmechanisms) but she now reached a point where she realized that these patterns don't work anymore and she had to face and battle herself. Trandenscending beyond who she used to be stepping into a new phase of her life. It was a symbolic battle/death but mostly a new birth. Born as a new person. The whole clip is about birth, the phases of life and then rebirth. Death is seen by us as the end but by the ancient germanic people, Death was the start, feeding and nourish the soil for new life in a never ending cycle. The moment she hit the ox, was the very moment she would be reborn.
@@arjantjeee I Think yours is one of the best reviews of Anoana I have seen! You have obviously studied (and absorbed) the video itself, but you are clearly knowledgeable about Norse culture and language (unlike most of us who comment here). Thanks so much from a noviate for sharing your insights! P.S. I read somewhere that there is a legend that the runes were given to Odin as bird song notes (see SAYGE WITCH comment below from two months ago). Have you ever heard this? Is there any chance the runes (both old and new) are an alphabet, each with its own "meaning", but musical notes as well? Just a thought.
I have seen an interview where when asked about their 'fans' they looked at each other,stopped the interviewer,and said... "We don't have 'fans',We have Brothers and Sisters "
@@ChingelBopDingelFlop They truly mean it... they don't have "concerts" they are rituals where everyone is welcomed and brought in to experience it. I am not a religious person but do feel spiritual and their songs effect me like few others.
"a form of self care" this band helped me avoid suicide during a very dark time in my life. I would listen to their music during a depressive episode and it would immediately make me feel spiritual and whole as a human and woman. It was comforting.
Hey, I'm glad you're still here, and I'm glad you made it through, and I'm proud of you, for what it's worth from a stranger and a fellow person who dealt/deals with suicide and depression.
Heilung literally means "healing" so its fitting. It also seems like a mission statement by the band to revive and reconstruct music from a forgotten zeitgeist into the modern world. For me personally as someone who suffers from PTSD but is also Norse-Germanic Pagan this band certainly touches me at a very deep spiritual level. I feel like they're bringing forth something we've lost to history and along the way bringing something I lost that I never knew I had. I would highly recommend watching the whole of the Lifa concert. The individual songs really do flow into each other and takes you on a whole journey. It would be awesome to get your take on the whole performance but in particular Krigsgaldr.
I think I am more pagan than Christian, I believe in a higher power and the be good and kind to others as well as the animals in the world. I do not believe in magic space dad sitting around judging people all day every day damning people to hell because they didn't chose to believe I'm Jesus of another faith even though those people were more Christian like than people who bang the drums crying out that they are Christians and can tell others what to do.
this music feels like my germanic ancestors are speaking to me and waking something very deep down in my soul that i never new i had or existed. it's sad that so many of our ancestoral past was more or less lost in the modern world and i envy you norse people for living it, or at least have it much more present in modern society. german nazis back in the days tried to integrate much of the old myths into their propaganda and i guess thats why our ancestoral history has still a bitter taste for many of us germans. but i guess bands like heilung help to heal even these things. i am happy that the past is not forgotten...
I had "work related fatigue syndrome" a while back and one of the things I tried to do to heal was mindfulness, meditation etc. That did not work what so ever on me but Heilung did. Half an hour of Heilung washed my mind clean and left me with inner peace and calmness.
Both yes and no, you can google brain fatigue. For me I was constantly dead tired no matter how much I slept, I got apathic, I had horrible mood swings, I was extremely sensitive to light and sound and it was more or less impossible for me to concentrate for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. You don't really get back to normal from it, you learn to deal with it and manage your energy levels. You can get better with exercise, mindfulness etc but you don't go back to the person you once where. You cant really blame your current job for it, this is not something you get in a year or so.... this is something that accumulates after years and years of running your energy lvl's in the red. All countries in the world have recognised brain fatigue and there are a lot of medical studies proving it except one country.... guess what country does not recognise it ;-)
I forgot to mention social interactions..... for me they are the ones that draw out most energy from me to the point where I can do about 2h of being social before I need to go rest.... this has had a huge impact on my social life not to mention dating life, Imagine really liking somebody but shunning them away since you mentally can't put in the interactions needed to peruse the relationship. All and all, it's crippling for all and any of the things that are supposed to be the highlights in life.
I just bawled the first time I heard and saw this. I WAS that little girl, out in the woods, just being a part of everything. The "chriping" sounds both Maria and the woman are making, at least in my opinion, sound like bird songs, and it has been suggested that the "Runic songs/spells" Odin was taught were actually bird songs. I feel the "lullaby" the mother is singing is calling on the "landawariar" (land warrior/ancient protective mother spirit) to be with her child (just based on what I do know about the language). You can see that echoed in the video, as the band members aren't there, then they are at the child's birth, seeming to help it along. The "buffalo creature" could very well be a stylized "Aurochs"; an extinct ancestor of modern domestic cows. It is represented by the "Uruz" rune, and is a symbol of primal power (unlike fehu, which is "cattle", or material wealth). Our little, but grown up "Landawariar" (the woman with the antlers) could in a way be proving her power by "fighting" the Aurochs, with her ancestors blessing (band members ritual by the fire/eclipse). Anyway, sorry for the long comment, just my interpretation ;)
I enjoyed your review/comments immensely! It's so rare to find someone with both knowledge and insight who admits to also being deeply moved by this music. I'm so tired of phony "berserkers" who constantly harp that Heilung has put them in a fighting mode. War was only one part of Norse culture. The contribution of women (with the "weight of life on their shoulders" as Aurora put it) can't be overestimated. I'm so glad Heilung decided to make use of Maria's remarkable siren voice and the rich art of the volva's in exploring the "distaff" side. I hope this latest album will explore it further.
Very insightful interpretation. And thank you for the explanation of lanawariar. Knowing a little of language, even a few words can help so much in understanding.
the musk ox is closer relate to modern goats than oxen, but i have always loved their association to the Aurochs; I think it does a very good job of filling the role of Uruz now that the aurochs is gone
I was shocked to see myself become teary eyed in the soft lullaby section of the song. This is an indeed amazing song. Also loved the new single “Asja”
Real magic? Their intentions when forming Heilung was to spread the healing and use media in a way no other shaman had before. Magic? my experiences in life tells me there is much more to life than what we see. I recently had a very traumatic experience on top of PTSD I already suffered. Anoana in particular has been very healing to hear. It helps take those sights from my memories and I cry but it's okay
Its so nice everytime I see someone enjoying Heilung. For me I get more and more a bigger connection to this Band, because my aunt is singing in this Band and my uncle is one of the warriors, so I get by them more into listening to Heilung and I have to say, it was an amazing experience to get to know most Band members 6 months ago, especially to talk like 1 or 2 hours with Maria, who is one of the greatest persons I've ever met. To get to know them and to talk with Maria and the others was just one of the greatest and biggest Inspiration I get in my whole Life! And today in a week I finally get to See them again Live, soooo excited! ❤
At my EMS job, Maria Franz's repetitive chant from this song, resonates in the back of my mind during high acuity calls. It helps keep me centered and calm. Amazing...(I don't want to call them a GROUP) ...COLLECTIVE. BTW, two other groups I may suggest are Wardruna and Faun?
I highly recommend "Alfadhirhaiti" Live from the LIFA concert. Imagine you're about to go into battle against the Vikings, across a large stretch of field. And all of a sudden you hear this as their war chant. Gives me chills everytime
Seconded, she may like Hamrer Hippyer and Galgaldr (second half is intense as hell) too since she likes more heavy stuff. But I'd also add Fylgia Ear and Othan for the added symbolism.
I feel like this is one of their best jams yet. When they already set a pretty high bar. Having had the good fortune of seeing them live (Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado) I'd strongly recommend seeing them in person if you are able to do so. The passion is clear and evident.
I came across Heilung just after they began. Blown away is an understatement. I love nordic / experimental folk but these guys are next level. They sit above my top 10 favourite groups. League of their own. ⚔🛡⚡
american first nations originate from siberia, but before they crossed the bering straight, they probably met european/nordic first nations, in central asia, or eastern europe. DNA tests showed that american natives originated from asia, but some of them had also european/caucasian ancestors : that's very interesting ! you can notice similarities in the outfits, rituals, instruments, beliefs, respect to nature, etc... of all these first nations, and it appears now logic, since we found their common origins.
I've always said that music well done is universal, no matter the genre or the language. This just helps prove that. Heilung actually means healing, and the band's goal is to give their listeners peace or healing from whatever's troubling them.
On this occasion, the members of the group provide us with invaluable information about the song and its lyrics. The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination. The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money. In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages. The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real. This is the original letter: [María] Athilr Rikithir Ai Eril idi Uha Ijalh Fahd Tiade Elifi An It Athilr Rikithir Ai Landawariar Año Ana Fahd Tiade Elifi An It Aelwao Ano Ana Tuwa Tuwa Tau Liu Ano Ana Tuwa Tuwa [Kai] UL FOS LAU LAL GWUL PED UL ULD AUL LEI ELw ATH RET LAE TyS Otro REI GUI AU AU LA OA SEJS ZUL AU AL HaR HaS Ka TIL AZ Ha IR EL UNOZ LEIT Una DZ GUI UI THUL UHNG Ur OI WHUG DIT La La LIH LaL Ur USK GLa Jue LAL La La La TLG Jue TiL Ur Ur Ur Ur Gel THuL So Oth LAU IA TyL LI RAI WUI IL DAI TU Han UTH A IUr EL AL Dan An ERUI AL EIZ An RA TIU An KU AK The language is proto-norse.

yeah and this is fantastic and I was so positively overwhelmed when I found about this. I like to think about many different scenarios at what situation and where those words were written despite not understanding it it at all :). I like to think that the main part, when a mother sings to her baby it's like a lullaby to comfort the little one - some other people had similar thoughts. For me this is very comforting so it allways gives me some "dadish goosebumps" everytime I hear this part.
If you love Maria you have to check out her other band "Euzen," particulairly the songs "Metamorph" or "The Stage," from Castlefest 2015 but any of them are great. (their newer Castlefest videos don't have great sound quality) Also, while lyrics are available from other people who have translated, Heilung does not provide translations themselves because they believe the music should be felt and interpreted individually by the listener, rather than judged on lyrics.
they said in an interview that this song is based on ancient nordic coins found all over europe dated to the roman empire, they don't know what most the words mean
Great reactions, AileenSenpai! Might I suggest Warduna "White Raven" and "Helvegen", the live with Aurora version. I think you'll love them if you're finding this genre relaxing. Two of my favorites. Keep up the great vids!
I love Heilung and from what I have learned is a lot of their lyrics are based on poems and runes from the bronze thru the Viking ages. Norupo is my favorite, and I highly recommend it, but Anoana is quickly growing on me the more I listen to it. I also would suggest Wardruna ft Aurora Helvegen, and I would also suggest Aurora's own music as well. She isn't metal but more pop/folk and she is an amazing young woman that is pure magic herself. Great reaction and I look gorward to the next.
A music video has never touched me as much as this one. Taken on a journey to the roots, to the reason of our existence. I wish I never had to come back from this trip.
heilung is so adorable! it is both very touching...this beautiful song and your sweet reaction! thank you, aileen! :) p.s.: oh...and there is an interview with maria franz, the leadsinger from heilung on the channel of "the charismatic voice". ua-cam.com/video/0LPlrR0E7QM/v-deo.html
As much as I love insane screaming metal sometimes I actually do need find my baseline. These folks, the Hu, Nytt Land, they do that, find that basic uncomplicated human in there. Great reaction!
I am seeing them in Zürich later this year, and I am so happy and excited to see them!!! Heilung is just something special! It's the sound of the old world, and you feel it deep into your bones.
their name means healing and their outfits are of the norse germanic tribes. this music actually helps me feel more connected to my norse germanic ancestors just like pow wows do for native americans. you should check out Norupo.
Great reaction girlie. (I’m 73 so I can say “girlie.”) Luv ya! You got it. The baby born with horns grew up. Near the end I believe that the little girl pets the big animal then climbs up on its back and takes a nap.
Great reaction and looking forward to more heilung. Love all the small details of this video. The bird that revived in the girls hands, the drum as the mothers heartbeat and the clapping as the babys, and the fact that it was released the day after summer solstice. Really well done.
If you like this kind of music, the kind of music that fuels ur senses, you should really try out wardruna as well. Einar Selvik is inzane in bringing emotions into his singing. This one is a really good choice: Fmf 2015: International tv series gala: viking suite, trevor morris, Einar selvik Einar and Maria got a song together as well, cant remember its name now. Its a swedish old fashion lullaby i believe. Really good song, but it aint got a music video, or well it has 1 taken from clips of the viking serie. Its very normal for people to suggest wardruna and aurora - helvegen Which is a Great song as well, i just prefer the other :)
I can’t really explain how much the helvegen version with aurora impacts my emotions. I love it so much. I wish they would release it officially on iTunes but unfortunately there’s just the live videos on UA-cam.
@AileenSenpai this is amazing. There is a whole subgenre of music like this with bands like Faun, Omnia, Eluveitie. There is so much of this on my heart. Greetings from Brazil.
A bit different (dark elektro) but Qntal is also REALLY good, the singer (Sigrid Hausen) is a mezzo-soprano & absolutely incredible. Michael Popp can play almost every instrument it seems, seen them live at least 8 times.
Heilung heals for sure! You asked for more music like this, so you could do Eivør. She will be on tour with them. Eivør is great. I recommend you to do "Gullspunnin" live
I have listened to this every day since it came out. It is incredible. I am currently suffering from a herniated disc in my neck and an inflammation of nerve roots which in turn cause quite some pain in my shoulder and arm - especially at night, which prevents a healthy sleep. When I listen to this, I forget the pain and am transported to some other sphere. The name "Heilung" (I am German) fits so well!
After I first listened to them back in 2017 I cried because it was the first time I ever felt truly whole! I love my family, friends, my fiancé, & what I do for a living......but there has always been a small part missing. Heilung, as the name implies, filled in that missing part for me!
This band got me through one of the hardest times of my life. About the time their second album dropped, my dad and my oldest friend died within a day of each other. Heilung's music was all I listened to for weeks, and I credit it with helping me more than anything.
That’s amazing. I can attest to something similar. When I listened to Heilung’s live performance on UA-cam back in 2018 it changed my life. That change paved the way for the spiritual growth I would definitely need and rely on from 2020 to the present.
It means Spiritual. She left her Body. It never hurts her.(The Attack at the End.) Greetings from Germany. :D And the Shaman singing at the Birth is a kind of Calm It for the Mother an the new Born. The Mufflon Is her Soulmate. She had to meet. All good. Its what I said Spiritual. She Is the next Generation of Maria (The Shaman).
The comments here are wonderful and informative. Thanks to all. Just listened to drif three times in a row. It’s a masterpiece. Thanks so much for your reaction. I feel the same emotions. So happy I found Heilung.
Its been a while since I started to feel my mental health spiriling into something I want to scape from. There are good days, there are bad days, and last week held me in a dark place like never before. I was feeling it mentally, but also physically. My whole body was in pain, I had no apetite and I was exausted. Yesterday, in the way back from my college, Anuana playing in my earphones on repeat, I slept peacefully for the first time in a month. No dreams, no intrusive toughts. I didnt even realise I had fell asleep and only woke up one hour later, close to home. I know music alone isnt going to save me (Therapy has been really important) but there is so much power in this song. So much confort, like I didnt feel in months. Like someone was deeply caring for me. Like I can scape to somewhere else, to nature, even if only for 5 minutes. This is the power of something made out of love, out of care. This is Heilung.
Big Heilung fan! One particular moment really stood out for me, listening to their music. I had finished a salt float session (I float in total darkness, no music) and left very relaxed. l got in the car and it started to thunderstorm. One of their songs came on. I just sat in the car, with the rain pelting down, with the thunder and lighting while their music played. I just shut my eyes. Pure bliss.
Your comment halfway through about being emotional listening to the mother chanting/singing to her child also touched me in the same way. I lost my mother to cancer and despite being an adult, that moment was comforting in a maternal way. ❤️ Beautiful. Thank you for also identifying that moment🙏
I`m exited to see them live this autumn together with my othe favourite artist Eivor. Wich definetly is an artist you must check out. Trollabundin and Falling Free are two amazing songs by her. Another ban in the same veins of Heilung is Wardruna wich you must give a listen to:) Absolute musicmagic:)
I found Heilung through youtube about 4 years ago and I have been totally hooked ever since. I can't even explain how their music has somehow connected to something within me I didn't even know was there ? I very often fall into a deep sleep when I listen to them...a sleep like I've never known before ? I am lucky enough to work in an outdoor environment and very often on my own and to have Heilung music going through my mind when I am in woodland early in the morning with nothing but the sound of nature around me makes me feel more connected to it....as Heilung say 'we are all brothers/sisters.
I highly recommend watching their whole live performance in Lifa. It's on their page. Such a powerful show. Supposedly their first live performance too.
So if you're looking for similar sounding bands, the holy trinity is Wardruna, Danheim and Heilung. And then as a fourth, Munknorr. If you haven't already, start with Wardruna's Kvitravn - it's an instant favourite of anyone who ever heard it.
this is the first reaction video i've seen to anoana & ur reaction was MEEE [& as a massive fan of heilung, U KNOW im gonna watch your other heilung reactions!]. pls keep the heilung reactions coming!!
Great reaction, music and what happens really reflects in your face. Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). According to previking believs they had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female directed than the religion in the later years (viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing = heilung in the german name of the band. ...and she is born with antlers which scares here moother. Heilung sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language....
Following this group and watching their rays of light shine into all sorts of new places has been one of the best parts. I love seeing more and more people have the visceral reactions like I did as we all tap into something we can't quite describe but know to be true.
I just discovered them and I've become besotted with the music of Heilung. Listening to this is like something almost primeval is stirring within. The same feeling I got at the Stonehenge festival when I was first got to trip the light fantastic. A calling to a time before modern life. When people danced in fields to honour the Winters' Sun, or celebrate the mid summers sun. A sehnsucht that has been there all along calling through the ages of time. I wish I had bag of mushrooms. . .
So beautiful, so uplifting and transcendental. I haven't listened to Heilung for quite a while but I'll be going back to them. Excellent reaction Aileen. btw. According to A&P Reacts, they're touring in North America in October.
What you said about it not being in your own language but still getting that emotional feeling, 100% what I thought the first time I heard this band. They say when you feel emotion to the point of goosebumps when listening to music, you've unlocked another part of your brain that not everyone else has unlocked. This band does that to me EVERY time.
Realy great band. The first song I've discovered was "Norupo" still my favorite till today. You should try it. The music of Heilung has so much variety. I'm so happy, that you now started your Heilung journey after you gone through Rammstein. Great reactions!!
This is very beautiful music! I honestly love this more than the music that is playing for over the years. Tribal music from Heilung is really cool and peaceful.
There style makes me feel good, this song lets my mind go to a far away place where its calm amd peaceful. The song refers to a young girl becoming a warrior to protect her people and her land. Thats how I can describe this beautiful song.
On your journey with Heilung, I implore you to listen and react to Warduna, they're also a Nordic/Scandanavian band whose music touches upon the same spiritual and emotional vein as Heilung, and even more so in my opinion. Both groups are incredible!
This song is for me just a form of true love/peace/meditation. It feels just right to close the eyes and listen. Thanks for introducing this song to me and my life. Greetings from Germany
Don't know if it has been said, but Heilung means Healing. And at least for me that's true, Heiluing saved my life, helped me heal from depression and angst.
I love that you said listening to Heilung is a type of 'self care', that's exactly how I feel when I listen to their music. It's so hypnotic that it just takes into you into a really peaceful trance.
Maria Franz, the main vocal from Heilung have a magical voice, i loved your reaction because you totally gave all yourself into that magic, you felt it and thats the wonderfulness of Heilung, greeting from baja california.
The Musk ox is a creature of the Old tundra regions its one of the creatures on the walls of caves drawn by Neanderthal's. The girl is linked to the deer ...forest creatures from later times.. creatures of the Boreal landscapes...but one is the past the girl the returning of new life growth and warmth of the long spring.. 🤔 .. thats how i read it. Cernunnos en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cernunnos is the horned god of the hunt ... In the 🇬🇧 theres an old tradition dance called the Abbots Bromley horn dance...its later but it links back to the stories of the great hunt... Music, Anthropology and cultural mythology... Which is what Heilung are about.🧙♂️ add a touch of Carl Jung on archetypes and Joseph Campbell's ..Way of the animal powers. 🦌🦡🐗🐻🐺🦊

Heilung literally means "healing" so its fitting. It also seems like a mission statement by the band to revive and reconstruct music from a forgotten zeitgeist into the modern world.

I would highly recommend watching the whole of the Lifa concert. The individual songs really do flow into each other and takes you on a whole journey. It would be awesome to get your take on the whole performance but in particular Krigsgaldr.
Pagan family, well met! And you're very right, their music really does touch something ancient, primal, and wonderful in us.
Beautifully put 🖤 Heilung is a staple in our pagan home. Blessed be
Totally agree with you 👍
I think I am more pagan than Christian, I believe in a higher power and the be good and kind to others as well as the animals in the world. I do not believe in magic space dad sitting around judging people all day every day damning people to hell because they didn't chose to believe I'm Jesus of another faith even though those people were more Christian like than people who bang the drums crying out that they are Christians and can tell others what to do.
As an Eastern European non-pagan this band also touches me at a very deep spiritual level.
This song made me cry, it totally felt it in my soul! Really crazy! Heilung is healing.
I feel you!! I felt the exact same way.. 🖤
@@AileenSenpai Yep you got it, good inituition. It's healing the wounds of the mother, or bringing you back to that place of closeness.
In german heilung is the word for healing
Made me cry too. Heilung makes such beautiful music. Truely Seiðr in the flesh.
@@jivepsilocybe993 Have you heard Asja yet? It's amazing as well!
as a Norse pagan this just fills my heart seeing everyone loving Heilung,
I’m glad more people are enjoying them.
This predates Norse pagan mythology, they are talking their imagery from European hunter gathering society 👈😑
Think Stonehenge not longships 😕
As a bison, I'm also a big fan.
this music feels like my germanic ancestors are speaking to me and waking something very deep down in my soul that i never new i had or existed. it's sad that so many of our ancestoral past was more or less lost in the modern world and i envy you norse people for living it, or at least have it much more present in modern society. german nazis back in the days tried to integrate much of the old myths into their propaganda and i guess thats why our ancestoral history has still a bitter taste for many of us germans. but i guess bands like heilung help to heal even these things. i am happy that the past is not forgotten...
Imagine someone calling their own religion Pagan lmao. Christianity dicked you guys over hard, huh.
I had "work related fatigue syndrome" a while back and one of the things I tried to do to heal was mindfulness, meditation etc. That did not work what so ever on me but Heilung did. Half an hour of Heilung washed my mind clean and left me with inner peace and calmness.
So.....is that clinical way of sayin " IM TIRED OF THIS SHIT, FUCK THIS JOB"? Seriously askin.
Both yes and no, you can google brain fatigue. For me I was constantly dead tired no matter how much I slept, I got apathic, I had horrible mood swings, I was extremely sensitive to light and sound and it was more or less impossible for me to concentrate for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. You don't really get back to normal from it, you learn to deal with it and manage your energy levels. You can get better with exercise, mindfulness etc but you don't go back to the person you once where.
You cant really blame your current job for it, this is not something you get in a year or so.... this is something that accumulates after years and years of running your energy lvl's in the red.
All countries in the world have recognised brain fatigue and there are a lot of medical studies proving it except one country.... guess what country does not recognise it ;-)
I forgot to mention social interactions..... for me they are the ones that draw out most energy from me to the point where I can do about 2h of being social before I need to go rest.... this has had a huge impact on my social life not to mention dating life, Imagine really liking somebody but shunning them away since you mentally can't put in the interactions needed to peruse the relationship.
All and all, it's crippling for all and any of the things that are supposed to be the highlights in life.
Wardruna has a similar effect I noticed.
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead same to me, it is remarkable to me that bands like meshuggah or jinjer does have such a calming down efect to me.
I just bawled the first time I heard and saw this. I WAS that little girl, out in the woods, just being a part of everything. The "chriping" sounds both Maria and the woman are making, at least in my opinion, sound like bird songs, and it has been suggested that the "Runic songs/spells" Odin was taught were actually bird songs. I feel the "lullaby" the mother is singing is calling on the "landawariar" (land warrior/ancient protective mother spirit) to be with her child (just based on what I do know about the language). You can see that echoed in the video, as the band members aren't there, then they are at the child's birth, seeming to help it along. The "buffalo creature" could very well be a stylized "Aurochs"; an extinct ancestor of modern domestic cows. It is represented by the "Uruz" rune, and is a symbol of primal power (unlike fehu, which is "cattle", or material wealth). Our little, but grown up "Landawariar" (the woman with the antlers) could in a way be proving her power by "fighting" the Aurochs, with her ancestors blessing (band members ritual by the fire/eclipse). Anyway, sorry for the long comment, just my interpretation ;)
I enjoyed your review/comments immensely! It's so rare to find someone with both knowledge and insight who admits to also being deeply moved by this music. I'm so tired of phony "berserkers" who constantly harp that Heilung has put them in a fighting mode. War was only one part of Norse culture. The contribution of women (with the "weight of life on their shoulders" as Aurora put it) can't be overestimated. I'm so glad Heilung decided to make use of Maria's remarkable siren voice and the rich art of the volva's in exploring the "distaff" side. I hope this latest album will explore it further.
Very insightful interpretation. And thank you for the explanation of lanawariar. Knowing a little of language, even a few words can help so much in understanding.
the musk ox is closer relate to modern goats than oxen, but i have always loved their association to the Aurochs; I think it does a very good job of filling the role of Uruz now that the aurochs is gone
This group has changed my life in many ways, from my way of life to helping with some PTSD issues from the military. Heilung is just sublime
i love how you are so sensitive and you let the music flow through your spirit. that is the way music must be appreciated!
I was shocked to see myself become teary eyed in the soft lullaby section of the song. This is an indeed amazing song. Also loved the new single “Asja”
Me too, great song!
Great reaction, Wardruna - Helvegen with Aurora is beautiful as well.
trueee
"Heilung is a form of self care" could not be a more accurate statement.
Litterally "heilung".
Healing.
This song made me so emotional , I had tears , especially when she's sings gently holding the baby .
❤️🌱
Real magic? Their intentions when forming Heilung was to spread the healing and use media in a way no other shaman had before. Magic? my experiences in life tells me there is much more to life than what we see.
I recently had a very traumatic experience on top of PTSD I already suffered. Anoana in particular has been very healing to hear. It helps take those sights from my memories and I cry but it's okay
Its so nice everytime I see someone enjoying Heilung. For me I get more and more a bigger connection to this Band, because my aunt is singing in this Band and my uncle is one of the warriors, so I get by them more into listening to Heilung and I have to say, it was an amazing experience to get to know most Band members 6 months ago, especially to talk like 1 or 2 hours with Maria, who is one of the greatest persons I've ever met. To get to know them and to talk with Maria and the others was just one of the greatest and biggest Inspiration I get in my whole Life! And today in a week I finally get to See them again Live, soooo excited! ❤
At my EMS job, Maria Franz's repetitive chant from this song, resonates in the back of my mind during high acuity calls. It helps keep me centered and calm. Amazing...(I don't want to call them a GROUP) ...COLLECTIVE.
BTW, two other groups I may suggest are Wardruna and Faun?
Faun is incredible
Seeing your reaction, showing so many emotions running through your face, just made me feel so good and... understood? Thank you :)
Wow, thank you
Final thought: the baby girl in the video has a middle name of Anoana.
Their side group, Songleikr, has quite a few good songs out, like Ulvetime, Hei Skal, and my favorite, Jenta Ho Gjekk Seg. All worth a listen
Thank you! I did not know this 🙂
@@cerunos Also check out Maria in the group 'EUZEN'
I highly recommend "Alfadhirhaiti" Live from the LIFA concert. Imagine you're about to go into battle against the Vikings, across a large stretch of field. And all of a sudden you hear this as their war chant. Gives me chills everytime
Seconded, she may like Hamrer Hippyer and Galgaldr (second half is intense as hell) too since she likes more heavy stuff. But I'd also add Fylgia Ear and Othan for the added symbolism.
I feel like this is one of their best jams yet. When they already set a pretty high bar. Having had the good fortune of seeing them live (Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado) I'd strongly recommend seeing them in person if you are able to do so. The passion is clear and evident.
Seeing them live at Red Rocks was such an amazing experience. Even when the sound went out for a little bit near the end, the audience was amazing.
I came across Heilung just after they began. Blown away is an understatement. I love nordic / experimental folk but these guys are next level. They sit above my top 10 favourite groups. League of their own. ⚔🛡⚡
my favourite reaction to this song so far, not many interruptions, lovely emotions. very relatable
The word “heilung,” translated to English, means “healing,” so your description of the music as self-care is pretty spot-on.
As a nordic and a native american etc i just listen to heilung and put it on loop with headphones and just let everything stressing float away. 🙏❤️
american first nations originate from siberia, but before they crossed the bering straight,
they probably met european/nordic first nations, in central asia, or eastern europe.
DNA tests showed that american natives originated from asia, but some of them
had also european/caucasian ancestors : that's very interesting !
you can notice similarities in the outfits, rituals, instruments, beliefs, respect to nature, etc...
of all these first nations, and it appears now logic, since we found their common origins.
All of their songs are ritual meditations, so feeling calm and centered is kinda the idea. :) They are truly wonderful, aren't they?
I've always said that music well done is universal, no matter the genre or the language. This just helps prove that. Heilung actually means healing, and the band's goal is to give their listeners peace or healing from whatever's troubling them.
On this occasion, the members of the group provide us with invaluable information about the song and its lyrics.
The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination.
The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money.
In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages.
The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real.

Dankon, gefrato.
Thank you so much! I have been looking for this!
yeah and this is fantastic and I was so positively overwhelmed when I found about this. I like to think about many different scenarios at what situation and where those words were written despite not understanding it it at all :). I like to think that the main part, when a mother sings to her baby it's like a lullaby to comfort the little one - some other people had similar thoughts. For me this is very comforting so it allways gives me some "dadish goosebumps" everytime I hear this part.
If you love Maria you have to check out her other band "Euzen," particulairly the songs "Metamorph" or "The Stage," from Castlefest 2015 but any of them are great. (their newer Castlefest videos don't have great sound quality) Also, while lyrics are available from other people who have translated, Heilung does not provide translations themselves because they believe the music should be felt and interpreted individually by the listener, rather than judged on lyrics.
they said in an interview that this song is based on ancient nordic coins found all over europe dated to the roman empire, they don't know what most the words mean
Great reactions, AileenSenpai! Might I suggest Warduna "White Raven" and "Helvegen", the live with Aurora version. I think you'll love them if you're finding this genre relaxing. Two of my favorites. Keep up the great vids!
I love Heilung and from what I have learned is a lot of their lyrics are based on poems and runes from the bronze thru the Viking ages. Norupo is my favorite, and I highly recommend it, but Anoana is quickly growing on me the more I listen to it. I also would suggest Wardruna ft Aurora Helvegen, and I would also suggest Aurora's own music as well. She isn't metal but more pop/folk and she is an amazing young woman that is pure magic herself. Great reaction and I look gorward to the next.
They're touring the USA again this fall and winter... 2022 get your tickets
A music video has never touched me as much as this one. Taken on a journey to the roots, to the reason of our existence. I wish I never had to come back from this trip.
heilung is so adorable! it is both very touching...this beautiful song and your sweet reaction! thank you, aileen! :) p.s.: oh...and there is an interview with maria franz, the leadsinger from heilung on the channel of "the charismatic voice". ua-cam.com/video/0LPlrR0E7QM/v-deo.html
As much as I love insane screaming metal sometimes I actually do need find my baseline. These folks, the Hu, Nytt Land, they do that, find that basic uncomplicated human in there. Great reaction!
They are releasing lyrics when the album is released August 19th.
The end is a picture of - We are all one - Brothers and Sisters
I am seeing them in Zürich later this year, and I am so happy and excited to see them!!! Heilung is just something special! It's the sound of the old world, and you feel it deep into your bones.
i basically just love hearing you talking, having heilung is with it is great
What a beautiful work of art. Love how you feel this Aileen, you articulated my feelings into fantastic words. Peace.
their name means healing and their outfits are of the norse germanic tribes. this music actually helps me feel more connected to my norse germanic ancestors just like pow wows do for native americans. you should check out Norupo.
Great reaction girlie. (I’m 73 so I can say “girlie.”) Luv ya! You got it. The baby born with horns grew up. Near the end I believe that the little girl pets the big animal then climbs up on its back and takes a nap.
Great reaction and looking forward to more heilung. Love all the small details of this video. The bird that revived in the girls hands, the drum as the mothers heartbeat and the clapping as the babys, and the fact that it was released the day after summer solstice. Really well done.
If you like this kind of music, the kind of music that fuels ur senses, you should really try out wardruna as well.
Einar Selvik is inzane in bringing emotions into his singing. This one is a really good choice:
Fmf 2015: International tv series gala: viking suite, trevor morris, Einar selvik
Einar and Maria got a song together as well, cant remember its name now. Its a swedish old fashion lullaby i believe. Really good song, but it aint got a music video, or well it has 1 taken from clips of the viking serie.
Its very normal for people to suggest wardruna and aurora - helvegen
Which is a Great song as well, i just prefer the other :)
I can’t really explain how much the helvegen version with aurora impacts my emotions. I love it so much.
I wish they would release it officially on iTunes but unfortunately there’s just the live videos on UA-cam.
Yes! Wardruna is great. I would recommend Wardruna f/Aurora
The song with Maria and Einar on vocals together is "Vallåt" by Kaunan
@AileenSenpai this is amazing. There is a whole subgenre of music like this with bands like Faun, Omnia, Eluveitie. There is so much of this on my heart. Greetings from Brazil.
A bit different (dark elektro) but Qntal is also REALLY good, the singer (Sigrid Hausen) is a mezzo-soprano & absolutely incredible.
Michael Popp can play almost every instrument it seems, seen them live at least 8 times.
@@Whitespliff that one too.
@@asaventurasderobson While we are at it: Helium Vola!
@@Whitespliff maybe we can stick Corvus Corax in this list too.
@@asaventurasderobson and Tanzwut
Heilung heals for sure!
You asked for more music like this, so you could do Eivør. She will be on tour with them. Eivør is great. I recommend you to do "Gullspunnin" live
I’ve just discovered this gift of a band. So incredible. 🤘🏻
Look at the new version of this that just came out
Heilung is German for Healing, so no wonder it is how you feel.
German/Norwegian/Danish group.
Stay Metal!
🤘😎🤘
I have listened to this every day since it came out. It is incredible. I am currently suffering from a herniated disc in my neck and an inflammation of nerve roots which in turn cause quite some pain in my shoulder and arm - especially at night, which prevents a healthy sleep. When I listen to this, I forget the pain and am transported to some other sphere. The name "Heilung" (I am German) fits so well!
! Komme aus dem Norden Deutschlands und fühle die Musik ! Gänsehaut pur !
After I first listened to them back in 2017 I cried because it was the first time I ever felt truly whole!
I love my family, friends, my fiancé, & what I do for a living......but there has always been a small part missing. Heilung, as the name implies, filled in that missing part for me!
This band got me through one of the hardest times of my life. About the time their second album dropped, my dad and my oldest friend died within a day of each other. Heilung's music was all I listened to for weeks, and I credit it with helping me more than anything.
That’s amazing. I can attest to something similar. When I listened to Heilung’s live performance on UA-cam back in 2018 it changed my life. That change paved the way for the spiritual growth I would definitely need and rely on from 2020 to the present.
I'm going to the concert with this band in Copenhagen, Denmark, October 26'th 2022. I can't wait.
Anoana, now mature and fully actualized in her power, embraces her place in the world and her destiny.
It means Spiritual. She left her Body. It never hurts her.(The Attack at the End.) Greetings from Germany. :D And the Shaman singing at the Birth is a kind of Calm It for the Mother an the new Born.
The Mufflon Is her Soulmate. She had to meet. All good. Its what I said Spiritual. She Is the next Generation of Maria (The Shaman).
The comments here are wonderful and informative. Thanks to all. Just listened to drif three times in a row. It’s a masterpiece. Thanks so much for your reaction. I feel the same emotions. So happy I found Heilung.
Its been a while since I started to feel my mental health spiriling into something I want to scape from. There are good days, there are bad days, and last week held me in a dark place like never before. I was feeling it mentally, but also physically. My whole body was in pain, I had no apetite and I was exausted.
Yesterday, in the way back from my college, Anuana playing in my earphones on repeat, I slept peacefully for the first time in a month. No dreams, no intrusive toughts. I didnt even realise I had fell asleep and only woke up one hour later, close to home.
I know music alone isnt going to save me (Therapy has been really important) but there is so much power in this song. So much confort, like I didnt feel in months. Like someone was deeply caring for me. Like I can scape to somewhere else, to nature, even if only for 5 minutes.
This is the power of something made out of love, out of care. This is Heilung.
Beautiful reaction for a beautiful song.... Masterpiece of year!!!!
Big Heilung fan! One particular moment really stood out for me, listening to their music. I had finished a salt float session (I float in total darkness, no music) and left very relaxed. l got in the car and it started to thunderstorm. One of their songs came on. I just sat in the car, with the rain pelting down, with the thunder and lighting while their music played. I just shut my eyes. Pure bliss.
Also "Suurin" from Kati Ran is a very good trancy piece.
I had been looking forward to hearing your thoughts ever since I first heard this beautiful song. Thank you for reacting to this!
Full of magic. Actually after seeing the video and hearing the song I had a dream with people I know and we were in a ritual just like the video.
Welp, I owe this channel a big thank you for allowing me to hear this song, onto a playlist it goes.
Your comment halfway through about being emotional listening to the mother chanting/singing to her child also touched me in the same way. I lost my mother to cancer and despite being an adult, that moment was comforting in a maternal way. ❤️ Beautiful. Thank you for also identifying that moment🙏
I`m exited to see them live this autumn together with my othe favourite artist Eivor. Wich definetly is an artist you must check out. Trollabundin and Falling Free are two amazing songs by her. Another ban in the same veins of Heilung is Wardruna wich you must give a listen to:) Absolute musicmagic:)
I found Heilung through youtube about 4 years ago and I have been totally hooked ever since. I can't even explain how their music has somehow connected to something within me I didn't even know was there ? I very often fall into a deep sleep when I listen to them...a sleep like I've never known before ? I am lucky enough to work in an outdoor environment and very often on my own and to have Heilung music going through my mind when I am in woodland early in the morning with nothing but the sound of nature around me makes me feel more connected to it....as Heilung say 'we are all brothers/sisters.
If you'd like to hear something more "aggressive" from Heilung, I suggest their live video of Hamrer Hippyer!
Theyre new album will be unreal i think. This and Asja are amazing, both from the new album coming in August.
I highly recommend watching their whole live performance in Lifa. It's on their page. Such a powerful show. Supposedly their first live performance too.
You should really watch the full Lifa ritual (concert), it's where the In Maidjan video came from. It's so beautiful and tells a complete story.
Make sure to find a girl that looks at you the way Aileen looks at Heilung.
You know then that she is a keeper!
So if you're looking for similar sounding bands, the holy trinity is Wardruna, Danheim and Heilung. And then as a fourth, Munknorr. If you haven't already, start with Wardruna's Kvitravn - it's an instant favourite of anyone who ever heard it.
this is the first reaction video i've seen to anoana & ur reaction was MEEE [& as a massive fan of heilung, U KNOW im gonna watch your other heilung reactions!]. pls keep the heilung reactions coming!!
Great reaction, music and what happens really reflects in your face. Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). According to previking believs they had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female directed than the religion in the later years (viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing = heilung in the german name of the band. ...and she is born with antlers which scares here moother. Heilung sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language....
Following this group and watching their rays of light shine into all sorts of new places has been one of the best parts. I love seeing more and more people have the visceral reactions like I did as we all tap into something we can't quite describe but know to be true.
Have you heard the new live version yet? You’d love it, they reworked it and expanded the sound, it’s incredible!
A visually spectacular and empowering vid. Great choice for you to share 😊
This reaction….. was a level of calm and beauty that I didn’t expect
Im going to see them live next week and I have NEVER been so excited for an event.
There's so much emotion . The way we live in I think this touches everyone. Our spirit. The old ways
Your wistful reactions are very endearing. Heilung are something else, aren't they?
I just discovered them and I've become besotted with the music of Heilung.
Listening to this is like something almost primeval is stirring within. The same feeling I got at the Stonehenge festival when I was first got to trip the light fantastic. A calling to a time before modern life. When people danced in fields to honour the Winters' Sun, or celebrate the mid summers sun. A sehnsucht that has been there all along calling through the ages of time.
I wish I had bag of mushrooms. . .
So beautiful, so uplifting and transcendental. I haven't listened to Heilung for quite a while but I'll be going back to them. Excellent reaction Aileen. btw. According to A&P Reacts, they're touring in North America in October.
What you said about it not being in your own language but still getting that emotional feeling, 100% what I thought the first time I heard this band. They say when you feel emotion to the point of goosebumps when listening to music, you've unlocked another part of your brain that not everyone else has unlocked. This band does that to me EVERY time.
Anoana has the ability to make you feel like you're connected to everyone and everything.
Realy great band. The first song I've discovered was "Norupo" still my favorite till today. You should try it.
The music of Heilung has so much variety. I'm so happy, that you now started your Heilung journey after you gone through Rammstein.
Great reactions!!
This is very beautiful music! I honestly love this more than the music that is playing for over the years. Tribal music from Heilung is really cool and peaceful.
It’s a german/danish/norwegian band established 2014. There are deep into rituals from the iron and Viking time. Absolutely stunning 😌
There style makes me feel good, this song lets my mind go to a far away place where its calm amd peaceful. The song refers to a young girl becoming a warrior to protect her people and her land. Thats how I can describe this beautiful song.
Also check out Wardruna with Aurora singing Helvegen
On your journey with Heilung, I implore you to listen and react to Warduna, they're also a Nordic/Scandanavian band whose music touches upon the same spiritual and emotional vein as Heilung, and even more so in my opinion. Both groups are incredible!
This song is for me just a form of true love/peace/meditation. It feels just right to close the eyes and listen. Thanks for introducing this song to me and my life. Greetings from Germany
Don't know if it has been said, but Heilung means Healing.
And at least for me that's true, Heiluing saved my life, helped me heal from depression and angst.
Heilung has a way of bringing up deep, DEEP subconscious emotions and feelings. They're undeniably unique!
Glad that you listened to Heilung, love their music and style.
Anoana is a song of encoded spells from the migration period to get in touch with magic from the Dark Ages.
I love that you said listening to Heilung is a type of 'self care', that's exactly how I feel when I listen to their music. It's so hypnotic that it just takes into you into a really peaceful trance.
Maria Franz, the main vocal from Heilung have a magical voice, i loved your reaction because you totally gave all yourself into that magic, you felt it and thats the wonderfulness of Heilung, greeting from baja california.
The new live version of this that just came out is amazing
It's interesting i randomly saw them pop up on tiktok 2 days ago and it's all i've been listening to since. I can't wait to see them live
The Musk ox is a creature of the
Old tundra regions its one of the creatures on the walls of caves drawn by Neanderthal's.
The girl is linked to the deer ...forest creatures from later times.. creatures of the Boreal landscapes...but one is the past the girl the returning of new life growth and warmth of the long spring.. 🤔 .. thats how i read it.
Cernunnos en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cernunnos is the horned god of the hunt ... In the 🇬🇧 theres an old tradition dance called the Abbots Bromley horn dance...its later but it links back to the stories of the great hunt...
