It's slightly simplified in the live performance as the guest performing "Koret Artemis" choir isn't gonna tour with them, but it was still awesome. Source: saw it live a month ago. But if they ever perform live with Koret Artemis, I want to be there, as they are awesome on their own as well!
Just wanted to Thank you for the moment you stopped, taked a deep breath and searched for words. Your mimic and reaction at this moment was deepest Honest and made me almost cry! Really really thank you so much for these moments!!! 🎉
This song connects you to the something called soul, to something we can never completely understand. it brings you to a horizon you first cant describe it what you feel. But you try to reach it.
I was there last year here in Athens... Magical doesn't begin to cover it. One advice have a few packs of tissues because you might need them. I couldn't stop crying through all the concert... It's a cherished memory and I'm waiting for the DVD that will come along with the new album in January.
It's so good to see you again! Your voice is a little hoarse, but it gave it a different touch! I didn't watch the group's debut to watch your reaction! He has such strong vocal power! It's as if he were a magician and could control the elements with his voice! The beats on the drums always remind me of Stonehenge! This art of shamanic drums transports me to that place! Druids, Celts, Atlantis? I don't know! What I know is what I feel in my heart! And seeing you back, with this group, is uniquely beautiful. I can only imagine the feeling you'll have in that magical place in the mountains of Colorado! It's breathtaking, it's so beautiful! Imagine the acoustics! I'm so happy you're back filling our lives! Man! (I was missing this word) How we miss you! It's been so silent for almost two weeks here! Jesus! Thank you, Lord, for her being back. Thank you, Tauri! For everything! Kisses on your heart!🌷🥰🙏 (English is not my official language, so I use the translator)
The choir Wardruna worked with on this track, also performed alongside the Norwegian band Gåte on a live version of their track Kjærleik (Love) at Akershus Castle. That performance is on Gåte's UA-cam channel, and well worth checking out, be it as a reaction, or just for yourself.
Awesome! I've never had the pleasure of attending Royal Albert Hall when visiting wonderful London. But will see them in May at the Grieg Hall in Bergen,Einar's home town.
We all love wardruna...but...especially us wievers...how much attention you pay to the native americans and their music and wisdom...we all should listen to their voices...not much different to wardruna
“Where the previous album Kvitravn was a step conceptually from the past to the present, Birna even more so seeks to address the here and now and the way forward. The more I thought, read, and researched, the more I realized that this album should mainly have a contemporary focus. Unraveling the long and entangled history of the relationship between man and Bear and contemplating the present state of how we humans relate to the wild in general. the bear doesn’t need my help or any human traditional ornamentation to be its own powerful self. It is quite the opposite if one looks to past bear-traditions worth remembering. We learn, we dream of borrowing its traits and abilities. We fear, revere, and try to walk alongside but on separate paths. Respectfully, claim space and give space. However inconvenient it may be, further taming of the wild can never be the fruitful way forward.
