    Director of Photography: Daphyd Sens
    UMAI appears on Shireen's first full-length album MATRIARCH, which released on 3.11.17.

Many thanks to our fantastic crew and all our extras for helping us make this happen!
    Lyrics:
    If I would give you my clear skies, If I would give you all golden fields of grain.
    Strong legs, a tireless heart. An ocean as still as a lake.
    Would you still worship and pray, and not forget my name: "Umai".
    Instead I’ll give you my storm, I’ll give you my hail.
    I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and distroy your fields.
    And you’ll reach for the sky, but in this mud you’ll die.
    And you will pray, when lightning illuminates your face.
    If you are a sweet child. Never scream to get your way.
    I will forget you lying there. I’ll sleep for a million days,
    and not hear your prayers: “Umai”.
    Instead I’ll give you my storm, I’ll give you my hail.
    I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and distroy your fields.
    And you’ll reach for the sky, but in this mud you’ll die.
    And you will pray, when lightning illuminates your face.
    You will pray: “Umai”.

    I literally spent the last two and a half hours trying to find this song, I listened to it more than a year ago, and it just came to my mind, but the only thing I could remember is that the name of the song started with U and it had a female vocalist.
    After two hours and some minutes I remembered that the song was the name of a deity, so it started the quest to find the name of deities that start with U, around 20 minutes reading lots of pages on the web, my eyes just glanced at >Umai

      Yup - sure is. This popped up in my feed a cpl yrs back - pretty sure it was during the COVID lockdown. But that’s when I decided that I really enjoyed her voice & their style. She reminds me of Heilung’s vibe. That tribal, Viking magic vibe. Admittedly tho this vid could’ve been a lot better imo. I feel she could’ve taken us on an excursion- where the video literally takes us out of ourselves. She already had us there til they pulled up in an old Chevy Rabbit or an early 80’s Dodge lol. That yanked me out and put me right back in my seat lol. Shame bcz it all could’ve been done without exceeding whatever budget she had at the time.

      @touchnotthiscat "This guy isn't letting his poor experiences turn him into someone who hates or abuses women."
      I'm not so sure about that. He sounds an awful lot like an abuser.
      No female person has ever said something nice to him *ever*? *All* women he has *ever met* have treated him "poorly" and he's still waiting to "find a pleasant" one? Either his mother is keeping him locked up in the basement since his birth OR he does not apply the same standards to women as he does to men.
      He's most definitively talking about *sexual* attention he thinks women owe him, not just the basic human respect people usually have for each other. IF he's not then, oh boy, that would mean that every woman he's ever met literally hates his guts -- and we'd have to wonder what he does to have that effect. Either way, he's already blaming "the bad guys who turned the good ones bad" for his future actions.
      Tbh, he sounds an awful lot like misogynist mass murderer Elliot Roger who similarly called himself an "ideal magnificent gentleman" before murdering six people and himself, or like Roger's fan Alek Minassian who has 10 counts of murder and 13 counts of attempted murder. Let's make no mistake, the Incel/Redpill/Manosphere community is *not* a bunch of harmless young men who got unlucky in their love life, it's an ideological cult that regularly turns spineless people like Derek into domestic terrorists.
      "Nice Guys" are not nice.

She is the bestower and keeper of the "life soul" of all beings, she can grant it, take it as she sees fit. Disrespecting mothers, children, the earth and nature are sure ways to make her take lives and she can convince the winds of fate to help her.

      IlIlIlIl To be fair, only the dragon "tail-oring" (yuk-yuk-yuk!) and the lizard-heels are shown in the first minute, and I didn't even see the rad heel mods until after this comment. In fact, my first impression of "draconic theme" in the video also came from the (really cool IMO) tail motif of the cloak/dress. I'd also argue that the leg scales could be pretty easily dismissed as just decorative jewelry, unless you already know what symbolism to be looking for, and the horned hairstyle could be interpreted a few different ways as well. The same could be said of the face paint, and I straight-up couldn't even really see the ring well enough to draw meaning from it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I will tear out trees,
    Sweep up the seas,
    Destroy all the fields..
    & then you'll reach for the sky..
    But in this mud you'll die..
    & you will pray,
    As lightning illuminates your faith.. When lightning..
    If you sweet child
    Never screamed to get your way,
    I will forget you're Lying there..
    & sleep for a million days..
    & I hear your prayers.. Umaia….
    Instead I'll give you my storm,
    I'll give you my hail,
    I will tear out trees,
    Sweep up the seas,
    Destroy all the fields..
    & then you'll reach for the sky,
    But in this mud you'll die..

    I get the feeling that this song portrays the karma cycle of 'what comes around goes around'. The quakes of war and hatred returned by the tremors of the earth, the poisons filling the waters becoming our slow-killing sustenance, and so on. Even if it doesn't intend such a message, it could easily come across that way. And it's a very powerful song.
    Also, that woman with the blue hair has some killer fashion sense. :o Badass.

      There are three different types of karma: prarabdha, sanchita, and kriyamana or agami. Prarabdha karma is experienced through the present body and is only a part of sanchita karma, which is the sum of one's past karmas, whereas agami karma is the result of current decisions and actions.

Little do Christian's know they follow pagan holidays, their past is as bloody or bloodier than pagans, millions died behind abrahamic religions. All native people were stripped of their beliefs in their lands, spirits and closeness with the wilderness. Christianity, Catholicism, islam etc. RUINED my people and murdered them for not switching. No different than islam, "JOIN OR DIE" occult. But were wrong for what??? Believing in our gods? Believing in the lands that feed us? Taking care of the spirits of our animals, and lands??? Yea I'm not trying to hear it. I grew up a christian, they were most two faced, stuck up people I'd ever known. Even satan isnt real, another made up character. We believe in good and evil, and that they interact, we believe in balance. Without good you cant have evil, without evil you cant have good. Even satanism stole pagan beliefs and gave us a bad name. Those are the larpers, satanists, lucefarians, and abrahamic religions. Ours is the oldest religion on the planet.

    It's so beautiful of a song because she is personifying "Madame Fortune" or "The Scarlett woman" in her Lyrics, while Simultaneously enacting her eventual fate throughout this Video, Losing herself and her followers to "Human Virtue" or "The Lambs of God" in the final Scene of battle.
    What a Beautiful work of Human Art.
