I don't have a single drop of Norwegian blood in me, but hearing this kind of music makes me feel proud of a culture that's not even mine... As I read in another comment: "I feel homesick for a place I've never been to"
Sybe Search Metal Detecting No they can’t. They are children of wherever they are from - which is just as great. But they can however appreciate it anyway.
I have been playing this almost non stop for the last ten days since my husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. He was a Viking and Anglo Saxon reenactor and loved Wardruna. It will play at his cremation.
This song was played on the funeral from my 43 old husband who lost the battle against cancer last week. He loved this song and so am. It fits perfect on his funeral he was a viking warior against the cancer battle 😢❤
sorry for your loss! he's now in valhala for he was a great warrior! one day you'll meet again for death is only a passage! may the gods keep blessing you! Stay strong, you are not alone!
What he has even more is SOUL, SPIRITUALITY and PASSION, which he pours into his singing to elevate it. His songs are prayers and articles of faith, drawn deep from within the ancient soul of his people. He's not merely an artist with talent and good technique, he's a priest to the old norse gods and they obviously blessed him with the skald's mead!
I was Einar's neighbor for a year a while back, we would say hello and have a chat now and then, mostly about everyday things, changing tyres. A fantastic guy, polite, kind, quite cool. I always felt a sense of calm in his presence. I felt quite starstruck when I met him. Once I told him I liked the album "Yggdrasil" very good. Then he thanked me very modestly. At the same time had started watching Vikings and Wardruna went straight to the core. I recommend everyone to listen to most of what Wardruna has released. This performance with Aurora, who is also an amazing artist, makes me cry, but it gives me an indescribable power throughout me. Goosebumps and well-being at the same time, almost as if the soul is soothed.
Aurora truly is the perfect fit, as she lives in the spiritual realm, dancing with fairies, like she said herself. A true vanir-blessed. Einar just has presence, no need to be a berserk, no need to be loud. He just IS. Loving, caring and conected to his gods. There are no 2 others I would know, they truly stand behing every note, every word, every emotion which is in that somgs and the story/tradition/spirituality behind it, valued in the right way.
Aurora is like.. a Fairy amongst Wolfes who sing in Harmony with the Wind and Moon . It is absolutely amazing and chilling.. i cant believe if just found it now!
A lot of Wardruna songs do that for me. I only under stand very simple Norwegian but I think it really makes you focus on the voice and sounds, not the words specifically.
I love how Aurora’s dress makes her an avatar of Freyja, with her magic cloak of White Raven Feathers, she can go anywhere, unseen, shape-shifted. She represents Freyja here in my recognition.
Scandinavians seem to be the most in touch with nature and spirituality than any other European group. These unique cultures need to be preserved. I love Scandinavian music.
Nope. Every single culture before romans were like this more or less. Im from cantabria, in northern spain and here people used to eat toxic berrys instead of letting the romans slave them, and when romans burnt them alive, they sang pagan songs. They had mountains and old forests as holy places
@@weisthor0815 religions are evil...theres a difference between religion and spirituality. The first one is manipulated by men, while the second is the faith in something superior and the values (love, peace and all these things). But leaders used the spirituality to create religions and manipulate the crowd. I'm personally agnostic because I don't believe in any religion, but I'm a spiritual person. Sorry for this long message, I hope this can help someone to think about it.
i think he meant today, not in ancient times. Still kind of a strange thought, i dont think theres alot of that kind of ppl in scandinavia or in any other place in europe. Its all the same grey mass
I’m Danish, and I just found out I’m directly related to the first official king of norway (King Harald). I’ve recently grown very fond of my roots, partly thanks to music like this
Really fascinating to read all these comments from people saying that they don't understand the language but still love the song. And this proves again that music doesn't just use the language of words but the language of the soul. Especially an emotional song like this. I love it.
This has been my argument for listenting to japanese music. Also its always fun when artists from Norway(my homeland) that does not sing in english gets attention outside of the homeland.
It's not a book...it's a song...it has notes and chords. Replace these minor chords with a major and it would have a completely different effect, regardless of words.
@@erikdevries2215 She fades it. At 2:32 for instance you can clearly hear that if she wants, she can up the volume. She just adjusts beautifully. The smoother feminine voice as support to Einar's daunting cries.
I lost my boys to the cruel hand of another human. I will lose the mother I never had but just recently found to cancer soon. Reading all those comments about your stories and your loss makes me feel less alone. I come here for comfort and to find life again.
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. No words could hope to ease such loss, but here is a virtual hug from a friend you haven't met yet. 🤗 take care of yourself and I hope incredible music like this can help you too. Much love.
I am so sorry to hear that you went through so much pain. I am sorry. I am Romanian and here pple say like this: this person must be an angel or a saint to be given on Earth such a challenge to loose it all . Here it is believed (long before religions came) that only the most exceptional souls are given more hardship because their souls are pure and because pple like you are divine, you are trained on Earth for greater divine things. I really thought it was a bs until after my mom's passing, like 10 yrs later I became pregnant, I was in risk of loosing my pregnancy. I was obliged to stay 90% of time in bed I dreamt all my female relatives. For 6 months of the risk. My ex told me that I was laughing in my sleep and all those months I felt like living in 2 different realities. Weird, but wonderous. I met relatives I didn't know (I couldn't explain to my aunt how come that I know the opinions and feelings of loss and everything of my great great grandmas). Before I gave birth I dreamt my mom who told me she will "go away for 2 yrs". I never dreamt again all the women together and I dreamt mom after my dad passed. So let me tell you this: YOU are never ever alone. Even if you are alone in the house. Everyone is supporting you. I was supposed to forget those dreams and I still have no idea why I was allowed to remember. Maybe to tell you, now (it's not smth I usually tell people). So yeah, stay strong, fight for your health with your teeth. Do not give up, you deserve to be healthy and become happy again despite all sorrow.
I lost my wife to Cancer a little over 18 months ago, and I've struggled every day since. On Friday I saw Wardruna in Manchester and they finished with this song. I was floored by the visceral emotions it stirred in me. I held her as she died and passed on. This is something we all have to face, and mark ourselves by. Thank you Wardruna for helping me let her go.
Sorry to here that mate. I was there at the Albert Hall too and could feel alot of deep emotion in the room during this one. Glad you found some healing.
So sorry for your loss sir. To lose a loved one to such a horrible thing as cancer, I can't even imagine. I have yet to see Wardruna in concert but I found them a few years ago and have been stirred by their words and the sound. Heilung as well is worth listening to as well. Praying for you and your wife.
My daughter died 4 days ago. My hearth is broken. This song brings me peace and i will see her again on the other site again. We will play this song at her funeral. Thank you Wadruna for this song and for the peace it brings. Hail to all people who suffer loss and pain. May you find peace again.
here the question, is it 100% swedish? i mean the words they are using, just want to know if its modern language or they use ancient one for singing :)
@@siamakp1207 No it’s Norwegian but the languages is similar. But I do not know if it’s a modern or old dialect. It could be some old Norse dialect/language.
@@Sweed87 I know that Norway has two mainstream dialects 'bokmål' and 'Nynorsk.' But the language that is closest to old-norse (the language of the vikings) is icelandic and the language of the Faroe Islands.
John Marston I’m a welsh pagan, you still got your haggis in your culture from years ago lol just kidding you, you have the bag pipes that frighten the enemies with the music that was played from them many years ago
I'm seeing people mention that they're from Africa, Mexico, all kinds of places loving this song. I love seeing people come together and express their love for something together. And man there is no better song to come together than this song
I am from Pakistan. I have always loved this song but I'm now I'm battling brain cancer. Got diagnosed three months ago. This song has gotten me ready to embrace death like an old friend if it comes, otherwise, I will fight and win.
My husband, Chad Aaron Maples, died on June 7, 2020 very unexpectedly. I saw the whole thing and am very traumatized. I'm supposed to go to the funeral home today to "make decisions". I didn't want to live today. Chad spoke to me and told me to come back to our roots. Come listen to this song again. This song has always meant a lot to us, and now it's keeping me alive. I love you babe and I miss you with everything in me. "You will be free from the bonds that bind you, You are free from the bonds that bound you!"
By far the best version. Einar's deep voice accompanied by this elvish mystical voice of Aurora. She just adds so much to this song. Strong powerful beautiful voice. Just magical and I'm obsessed. I've watched this like hundreds of time. Letting it replay for 3-4 times isn't uncommon at this point.
I really wish Aurora would do more Nordic style music, I love her other stuff but the Norse Pagan side of me desperately wants to hear her doing more Norse styled music
This is literally the only thing left on the planet that makes me feel. Update: I still breathe. This song has always been there for me. I was ready to walk the road to Hel. I had serious depression and I wanted to die. Now I look forward to living life. Hel can wait.
@@kristoferjonsen2081 my ancestry is Norwegian as well. I only spent a week there in Bergen but it was a beautiful country. I'd love to live there one day.
My father died suddenly last saturday. He was best man I known in my life. I played him this version of this song two weeks earlier. Thank You for this song. It warms up my heart, and calms my soul, and will always remind me of him.
It just came to me recently that it's curious how man is the most willing to die when he's the most fulfilled. When there's resentment, hate, and disappointment in you, you cling to life, yet when you experience something truly elevating, you feel "I can die now and not a moment of my life would have been wasted". We can only hope to meet our own and in such a state of mind.
Quite! It's really transcendent, no matter what culture, or religion is our background. We go triumphant to the gates of death itself knowing that we've left something of value behind... but it's not all I guess. You're reputation can be of lower sort, than you'd spend eternity knowing that the immortal part of you isn't to be proud of. I see it as the lyrical speaker is triumphant, proud, but he gives the listeners an a advise, or even a warning
I am Luiseno Digueno American Indian and was raised my whole life drumming, singing and dancing in our tribes way. Makes me feel the same emotions when I hear this music. Goes to prove that we are all primal and in touch with what is real at one time.
Some Nordic tribes made it as far as Newfoundland and even settled there. And there was contact between the peoples.Making it possible to share/copy culture.
Considering how many of many or I ancestors where enslaved by both the Roman and the countries and city states of the middle ages. Many try to seek out their past. To reconnect with their ancestors but they are told to stop by those who are still connected. Why is that?
I play this for my brother who lost his life 2 days ago. Now he is feasting and drinking in a great hall. So I must not greive his death, but celebrate his life. And I will see him again when that day comes.
Bro I know how it feels....last December I lost my childhood friend at the age of 24...he was an apprentice journalist and was manefesting in Tirana against our government. The police shot him dead on his back and then pretended he menaced them with a gun. He was the elder brother I never had as our mums are bffs since when they were 6yo and we grew up together between the docks of the harbor of Durres 😢 he used to love this kind of music and now it's all that remained me of him 😢 may he rest in peace wherever he is
Agreed, she harmonizes perfectly - her vocals only add to the performance but don't compete, thus making this version even more enchanting and powerful
Took me a while to work it out but aurora did the kulning in frozen 2 (the call Elsa hears) more kids love her than she gets recognition for!! Love the rora and the beard thing 😂
This was published the month my dad passed. Exactly 2 years ago today, we lost him. His father was from Norway. I feel like this song found me today, when I needed it. Incredible music. Tusen takk.
Brown southeast Asian Metalhead here. Damn it Aurora can sing. Her pipes are so clean and loud. Perfect control and harmonic. This performance should be in the CD on the space ship to nowhere. Aliens would love it.
I wish I was Norwegian to be a part of this amazing culture. What more does anyone need? Beautiful country,good food, good economy and most of all, a very rich culture. Love Norway.
@@kristophertibbets5986 I wish... I was forced to be a Christian, how would Odin even look upon me? How could I even be a part of all this when I am not even living in Norway? Maybe in a different life...
To be honest, most norwegians are very americanized, eating pizza, watching netflix, living busy & secular lives live most of the west. Few have a deeper appreciation/awareness of the older cultural values
I remember being in such a bad place mentally. One day instead of waking up for work I just left my shitty appartement with headphones inside a backpack and walked. Walked not knowing where I was going, I wanted to go far away. I walked as far as I could, walked roads that turned into paths that slowly disappeared as I was just getting lost in the forest. I walked and walked, through trees, cutting rocks and steep hills, my mind rumbling with dark thoughts, so loud that soon I could notice something weird. Where I stopped, in a ravine with a gentle stream was flowing, was complete silence. So I sat. I tried as hard as possible to hear what sound the silence made. And for some reason, like a howl far far away brought by the wind I heard this song. Plugged my headphones, and started to play the album. In my bag I had a small notebook and a pen. During the whole album I just wrote what I was feeling, even if it didn't make any sense. I wrote endlessly crying like a baby, and finally coming to the end of this song, Helvegen, the end of the album as well, I was done. I ripped the pages and buried the under a tree by the water stream. I don't know how but Wardruna made me feel so many emotions at once. Anger, passion, fear, love, ambition, sadness, nostalgia and hope. I let it all out on those poor pages and by doing so, feeling much better. Wardruna probably saved me this day. I have nothing of a scandinavian in me, but it was beyond ethnicity. Thank you Wardruna, you'll always hold a special place in my heart, thank you
@@jennyburger7865 You'd be amazed how much a good laugh clears the mental ducts and plumbing of crap. Not some demented 'laughter therapy' class. Just stick on your favourite comedy show, or stand-up routine, and let rip. I speak from experience, as one who was inches away from closing my account permanently.
So few people understand that Hel isn’t the same as the monotheistic version of hell. Hel is the Norse version of heaven for those who do not die in battle. Those who die in battle go to Valhalla. Those who die a normal death, go to Hel. It isn’t considered a bad place. Nifleheim is the Norse version of hell.
But Christians had a nasty habit of 'procuring' Celtic, Germanic and Norse pagan beliefs, into Christian holidays/traditions, and calling them Christian ideas all along. Christmas for example, the flesh and blood figure Jesus would've been born either June or July; Ancient Christians not knowing that, took Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice to eventually replace Pagan beliefs. They took Norse "Hel" too, to turn it into the Christian "Hell".
@@kimberlyh.1090 Quite natural that. It is difficult to change customs and culture. I don't think people here in Norway would have been willing to give up celebrating the turn of the sun. You still hear people here say they are not celebrating Christmas, they are celebrating 'Solsnu' (sunturn). There is a reason why they built the churches on the same places as the old Norse temples (Hov) used to stand.
I'm Polish. I learned every fucking word in this song in Norwegian, never heard anything so beautiful before... I'm crying everytime I hear this masterpiece...
I'm Norwegian and I was in Poland this summer, Kraków, for a week and I loved it. Great old town, fantastic restaurants and had a blast at the Arcade Museum👍
@@paulfraszczynski674 It's Norwegian and Norse (old Norwegian), if you talk about the lyrics? Yea we had a great time in Kraków. We drove all the way from Oslo - Larvik (ferry to Denmark) - Hamburg - Berlin - Kraków. The traffic is horrible in Kraków but the tram is great so it's just to park the car and use public transport. Almost all restaurants had tartare on the menu, so we learned something about popular dishes in Poland as well. Zurek and pierogi is my favorite Polish dish I think. Zurek with smoked sausage 👍
I think the reason this song resonates so much is that we are all fighting our own personal battles, we are all the underdog in our own story, and this song yearns for the need to fight back.
Fighting demons in my head (that caused me to physically damage my head). This song makes me want to fight them harder and win, rather succumb and lose the battle
As a Nordic guy this makes me very proud of my heritage . Greetings from Sweden Edit : Sending lots of love to everyone who replied , wherever you guys come from we love you :)
I have absolutely no Scandinavian in me, but this song brought me to tears and that isn't something that happens very often... This is more than just a song it's centuries of culture, and thinking about it sent chills through my spine... How this piece of song survived centuries and now, in today's world, in an extremely different culture, I can somehow feel this song, like it's calling to me. It's the most beautiful thing I've heard
I feel exactly the same. As far as I know, I have no Scandinavian in me, but this music, their culture, it draws me in like nothing ever has before. I absolutely ball to this, it’s the only music that makes me feel this way. I don’t know what it is.
I feel you. I've always loved everything related to Vikings even though I don't think I have any Scandinavian in me as my family on my mom's side still has aboriginal Canadian blood and apparently my dad has a German % but this song literally makes me cry and sends shivers down my spine too... I love everything about their culture and wish I was born in said environment...
These songs are raw and strong. As if earth is singing them. That's why we all feel we belong to this culture. In fact, we belong to earth and nothing represents it as much as these songs
VERY TRUE ☺️ !!! When you can feel the Earth and celebrate together like this, it's such a beautiful, connecting feeling ! We ALL have a little of the Old gods and the witches deep down in our souls !
You can feel your forebears calling you to walk the noble & warrior’s path with this. You can feel it dancing in your blood 🩸 Sköl, my fellows, kin and folk!
I think that the lyrics is wroten by these singers, but the músic is original of the Voluspa, wich is a long song about the scandinavian mithology and begins explaining that many generacions of men are pasing between the creation of the world and the viking armagedon day; Ragnarok.
I notice that certain area of the world is reaching back into their ancient roots, they are connecting to something that studios dont know how to produce yet
@ No, you have me confused. Its the other guy with that one; I am the over-the-top one that likes to give old ladies joy rides, but I removed the staples so I could finally get a wife. 200 yrs without p@$$y is just too long. And now that I finally got laid I have no idea where that sword is or what the hell it is for. Oh crap, the wife comes, I must hide my immortal a$$, I am supposed to be doing the dishes....
“It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death! I shall not enter Odin’s hall with fear. There I shall wait for my sons to join me. And when they do, I will bask in their tales of triumph. The Aesir will welcome me! My death comes without apology! And I welcome the valkyries to summon me home!” -Ragnarr Loðbrók
"Farewell my Brother. It gladdens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a feast. Soon you will be drinking ale from curved horns. The Valkyries summon you home."
Wardruna must be one of the few bands that keep the audience muted! not a single person yelling or claping until the song ends. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to see them in Bergen, back in 2014 at Blastfest Festival!
“I know it all, Odin. Where you hid your eye.” A prayer, speaking directly to the Allfather himself; as if speaking to his own father. This piece is just way too chilling to be of this world.
@Solve Everything odinism is a real religion, there are those of us that still put our faith in the old gods, the real gods, we are still very much in tune with the earth and our spirituality and the old ways
@Dan Arterer. if you feel the gods call to you then embrace them, my family are Scandinavian and Scottish, the norse religion is still very much around
I'm African so I can't even understand the song,but it makes me feel so grounded and at peace. I love this!! New fan here!!!!! ❤️💖 (Thank you for all your kind words.......yes I believe music transcends culture and race)
I am not Norwegian, but I am norse pagan, hearing this song feels like the hand of my ancestors and the gods on me, reminding me that even if this all must end one day, as long as I live, I shall walk with my truth proudly, whatever it may be
I climb mountains, I recently reached the top of the highest mountain in America, Aconcagua 6962 meters. I can tell you that this music is what I listen to on my expeditions. It motivates me in a way that nothing else does! Thank you so much for this piece of art Wardruna and Aurora 🤩
Remember we are all vibrations.. What most of us are feeling is a result of a connection with the vibration of the song.. It moves your soul.. Such a powerful vibration.. It loads you up with so much energy.. Beautiful
Yes. But our indoctrination won't let go of human thought so easily. The constant battle between the auto pilot with its systematic shortcuts and the you, banging against the tunnel of belief and systematic certainty (doctrines/ dogmas, etc).
@@carpetclimber4027 You are not wrong. The walls built around our thoughts and lives by the so called truths we call reality just hamstring our spirits. Hard to get past those barriers and you are always being drawn back.
@@mushroomcloud1 Exactly. "Life", as we live it, constantly draw us back. That's what makes it so difficult to keep focus. Apart from that you cannot ignore all the lies, or they will physically hunt you.
I don't know what happened. One minute, I was Puerto Rican, the next minute, I'm a Viking, ready to dine with the Gods in Valhalla! All seriousness though, I been fascinated with the cultures and definitely inlove with the music. Amazing!
This song is so spine chilling.. its ethereal and makes you long for something you've never known... but when you listen to the words it is hauntingly beautiful and fills you with strength
Your words are beautiful. Coming from a humbling place as a Native American that didn’t know there are more like us. May we all meet one day dance and sing the pleasure of our devotion, our love, our fight and what we take with us to contribute, not just what we leave behind.
The native spirit of European and Middle Eastern peoples was erased by civilization. Since Scandanavia was the last place of Europe to be Christianized/civilized with Europe, there's a shred of it that's held on. It lives on through this music.
I cannot describe what this song does to my body. It makes me shiver in my whole body and spine and i feel like i'm connecting with old scandinavian culture. it it truly amazing what this song does and i'm here for it !
@@DrRaadM What's cringe is you posting on almost literally every single comment where people extend their gratitude and love for the old times, times we've all forgotten but that we in someway or fashion are intrigued about. You, sir, are cringe when you try to besserwisser everyone and everything, spewing out nonsense where you try to tie paganism and cultural heritage to neo-Nazism. Shameful.
I'm obsessed with this masterpiece. As a Chilean I can say that even though I am not Norwegian, this makes me feel very connected to the Scandinavian culture. So magical.
I prefer Heilung the most, but I have collected the albums of Both these band's (well the entire discography avail on bandcamp for both bands and I have added Danheim to my wishlist...) Check out the Nordvis label on BandcampCOM if you like any of the before mentioned bands............
I saw them recently in Athens at Herodes Atticus ancient theatre, with the Acropolis on one side and them on the other and I have to tell you it was something to live for.

Who's idea was it to let Aurora sing with Wardruna? Who ever it was, It was a fucking brilliant idea.
Makes perfect sense my dude. They are both Norwegian, it's their heritage.
Both Einar's and Aurora's voice meld so well together, it really brings out the feeling of the song.
That's why I stated it was a great idea.
Want her to be in Vikings as a character
Aurora and Einar are from the same area in Norway - Bergen. They probably knew each other before.
This song was played on the funeral from my 43 old husband who lost the battle against cancer last week.
He loved this song and so am.

The thing about power couldn't be more right.

Aurora truly is the perfect fit, as she lives in the spiritual realm, dancing with fairies, like she said herself. A true vanir-blessed. Einar just has presence, no need to be a berserk, no need to be loud. He just IS. Loving, caring and conected to his gods. There are no 2 others I would know, they truly stand behing every note, every word, every emotion which is in that somgs and the story/tradition/spirituality behind it, valued in the right way.

A lot of Wardruna songs do that for me. I only under stand very simple Norwegian but I think it really makes you focus on the voice and sounds, not the words specifically.
They way these two sing together is haunting and I can't get enough of them.
Couldn’t agree more. I understand not one word but I love it none the less.

Scandinavians seem to be the most in touch with nature and spirituality than any other European group. These unique cultures need to be preserved. I love Scandinavian music.
Nope. Every single culture before romans were like this more or less. Im from cantabria, in northern spain and here people used to eat toxic berrys instead of letting the romans slave them, and when romans burnt them alive, they sang pagan songs. They had mountains and old forests as holy places
@@weisthor0815 religions are evil...theres a difference between religion and spirituality. The first one is manipulated by men, while the second is the faith in something superior and the values (love, peace and all these things). But leaders used the spirituality to create religions and manipulate the crowd. I'm personally agnostic because I don't believe in any religion, but I'm a spiritual person. Sorry for this long message, I hope this can help someone to think about it.

I’m Danish, and I just found out I’m directly related to the first official king of norway (King Harald). I’ve recently grown very fond of my roots, partly thanks to music like this
Really fascinating to read all these comments from people saying that they don't understand the language but still love the song. And this proves again that music doesn't just use the language of words but the language of the soul. Especially an emotional song like this. I love it.
This has been my argument for listenting to japanese music. Also its always fun when artists from Norway(my homeland) that does not sing in english gets attention outside of the homeland.

I lost my boys to the cruel hand of another human. I will lose the mother I never had but just recently found to cancer soon. Reading all those comments about your stories and your loss makes me feel less alone. I come here for comfort and to find life again.
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. No words could hope to ease such loss, but here is a virtual hug from a friend you haven't met yet. 🤗 take care of yourself and I hope incredible music like this can help you too. Much love.
Can’t imagine anything like this. May your grief be as easy as it can be.
You are worthy. Find that within yourself and watch your illness disappear. Pray for help to the God of your understanding.
I am so sorry to hear that you went through so much pain. I am sorry. I am Romanian and here pple say like this: this person must be an angel or a saint to be given on Earth such a challenge to loose it all . Here it is believed (long before religions came) that only the most exceptional souls are given more hardship because their souls are pure and because pple like you are divine, you are trained on Earth for greater divine things. I really thought it was a bs until after my mom's passing, like 10 yrs later I became pregnant, I was in risk of loosing my pregnancy. I was obliged to stay 90% of time in bed I dreamt all my female relatives. For 6 months of the risk. My ex told me that I was laughing in my sleep and all those months I felt like living in 2 different realities. Weird, but wonderous. I met relatives I didn't know (I couldn't explain to my aunt how come that I know the opinions and feelings of loss and everything of my great great grandmas). Before I gave birth I dreamt my mom who told me she will "go away for 2 yrs". I never dreamt again all the women together and I dreamt mom after my dad passed. So let me tell you this: YOU are never ever alone. Even if you are alone in the house. Everyone is supporting you. I was supposed to forget those dreams and I still have no idea why I was allowed to remember. Maybe to tell you, now (it's not smth I usually tell people). So yeah, stay strong, fight for your health with your teeth. Do not give up, you deserve to be healthy and become happy again despite all sorrow.
I lost my wife to Cancer a little over 18 months ago, and I've struggled every day since. On Friday I saw Wardruna in Manchester and they finished with this song. I was floored by the visceral emotions it stirred in me. I held her as she died and passed on. This is something we all have to face, and mark ourselves by. Thank you Wardruna for helping me let her go.
Sorry to here that mate. I was there at the Albert Hall too and could feel alot of deep emotion in the room during this one. Glad you found some healing.
Sorry to hear that mate. Was at the same gig. Very spiritual. Xx
So sorry for your loss sir. To lose a loved one to such a horrible thing as cancer, I can't even imagine. I have yet to see Wardruna in concert but I found them a few years ago and have been stirred by their words and the sound. Heilung as well is worth listening to as well. Praying for you and your wife.
You were strong so she could hold on to you and for that you are a warrior. I wish you a wonderful life in memory of her. Take care brother

By far the best version. Einar's deep voice accompanied by this elvish mystical voice of Aurora.
She just adds so much to this song. Strong powerful beautiful voice. Just magical and I'm obsessed. I've watched this like hundreds of time. Letting it replay for 3-4 times isn't uncommon at this point.
Indeed, it is just beautiful. I have it on repeat most times, a shame this isn't available on any music streaming services.
I feel like Aurora’s mystical voice represents the supernatural and/or otherworldly whilst Einar’s deep voice represents humanity and/or Earth

I really wish Aurora would do more Nordic style music, I love her other stuff but the Norse Pagan side of me desperately wants to hear her doing more Norse styled music

This is literally the only thing left on the planet that makes me feel.
Update: I still breathe. This song has always been there for me. I was ready to walk the road to Hel. I had serious depression and I wanted to die. Now I look forward to living life. Hel can wait.

This song is like a triumphant blast of the human experience leaving its mark on existence before vanishing into the wind.
It just came to me recently that it's curious how man is the most willing to die when he's the most fulfilled. When there's resentment, hate, and disappointment in you, you cling to life, yet when you experience something truly elevating, you feel "I can die now and not a moment of my life would have been wasted". We can only hope to meet our own and in such a state of mind.
@Fire from within gods care about deeds not bloodlines
Good comment dude
Quite! It's really transcendent, no matter what culture, or religion is our background. We go triumphant to the gates of death itself knowing that we've left something of value behind... but it's not all I guess. You're reputation can be of lower sort, than you'd spend eternity knowing that the immortal part of you isn't to be proud of. I see it as the lyrical speaker is triumphant, proud, but he gives the listeners an a advise, or even a warning
this could be the most vivid a moving statement about a song ever. *applauds
I am Luiseno Digueno American Indian and was raised my whole life drumming, singing and dancing in our tribes way. Makes me feel the same emotions when I hear this music. Goes to prove that we are all primal and in touch with what is real at one time.

I remember being in such a bad place mentally. One day instead of waking up for work I just left my shitty appartement with headphones inside a backpack and walked. Walked not knowing where I was going, I wanted to go far away. I walked as far as I could, walked roads that turned into paths that slowly disappeared as I was just getting lost in the forest. I walked and walked, through trees, cutting rocks and steep hills, my mind rumbling with dark thoughts, so loud that soon I could notice something weird.
Where I stopped, in a ravine with a gentle stream was flowing, was complete silence. So I sat. I tried as hard as possible to hear what sound the silence made. And for some reason, like a howl far far away brought by the wind I heard this song. Plugged my headphones, and started to play the album.
In my bag I had a small notebook and a pen. During the whole album I just wrote what I was feeling, even if it didn't make any sense. I wrote endlessly crying like a baby, and finally coming to the end of this song, Helvegen, the end of the album as well, I was done. I ripped the pages and buried the under a tree by the water stream.
I don't know how but Wardruna made me feel so many emotions at once. Anger, passion, fear, love, ambition, sadness, nostalgia and hope. I let it all out on those poor pages and by doing so, feeling much better. Wardruna probably saved me this day. I have nothing of a scandinavian in me, but it was beyond ethnicity. Thank you Wardruna, you'll always hold a special place in my heart, thank you

He talks about death. And as he walks the path of death, he will let go of everything and only his name and reputation will live forever.
So few people understand that Hel isn’t the same as the monotheistic version of hell. Hel is the Norse version of heaven for those who do not die in battle. Those who die in battle go to Valhalla. Those who die a normal death, go to Hel. It isn’t considered a bad place. Nifleheim is the Norse version of hell.

But Christians had a nasty habit of 'procuring' Celtic, Germanic and Norse pagan beliefs, into Christian holidays/traditions, and calling them Christian ideas all along. Christmas for example, the flesh and blood figure Jesus would've been born either June or July; Ancient Christians not knowing that, took Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice to eventually replace Pagan beliefs. They took Norse "Hel" too, to turn it into the Christian "Hell".
@@kimberlyh.1090 Quite natural that. It is difficult to change customs and culture. I don't think people here in Norway would have been willing to give up celebrating the turn of the sun. You still hear people here say they are not celebrating Christmas, they are celebrating 'Solsnu' (sunturn). There is a reason why they built the churches on the same places as the old Norse temples (Hov) used to stand.
But Hel is in Niflheim. Truth is we have no idea what the Old Norse thought of Hel. All sources describing it are from centuries later.

@@lagaboiegaming2476 In swedish it's spelled Oden. It depends on the dialect you speak too but it's the simplest way to explain it.
Aurora music is quite diverse. Full of empathy, sometimes quirky, and also uplifting.
But always thought provoking 😊
These songs are raw and strong. As if earth is singing them. That's why we all feel we belong to this culture. In fact, we belong to earth and nothing represents it as much as these songs
VERY TRUE ☺️ !!! When you can feel the Earth and celebrate together like this, it's such a beautiful, connecting feeling ! We ALL have a little of the Old gods and the witches deep down in our souls !
You can feel your forebears calling you to walk the noble & warrior’s path with this. You can feel it dancing in your blood 🩸
Sköl, my fellows, kin and folk!
@@gayleeidson6724 I think we have MUCH MORE than you assume! 😉
@@Doomedmandy77 You all are culture vultures
I think that the lyrics is wroten by these singers, but the músic is original of the Voluspa, wich is a long song about the scandinavian mithology and begins explaining that many generacions of men are pasing between the creation of the world and the viking armagedon day; Ragnarok.
Anyone else think this live version is even better than the already awesome studio version?
Randy Rowe Not better, same
Both are beautiful in their own way.
How about this one: ua-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/v-deo.html It sent me right over the edge.
@@MealeaYing Ahhhh, the best of the best... of the best!!! I couldn't stop listening it :D
I notice that certain area of the world is reaching back into their ancient roots, they are connecting to something that studios dont know how to produce yet
Possibly the most powerful song ever sung by mortal man.
Have more powerful songs been sung by immortal man?
@@scottk1525 I am not much of a singer myself, but when I speak the world trembles. I do not think you want me singing.
@@TimothyEdgin huh?
do you own a katana Timothy?
@ No, you have me confused. Its the other guy with that one; I am the over-the-top one that likes to give old ladies joy rides, but I removed the staples so I could finally get a wife. 200 yrs without p@$$y is just too long. And now that I finally got laid I have no idea where that sword is or what the hell it is for. Oh crap, the wife comes, I must hide my immortal a$$, I am supposed to be doing the dishes....
I will always cry when I hear this. My father passed away the day we saw Wardruna in Athens last year. This just hit my 🖤differently.
Oh no! So sorry for your loss. Hope you still like this song in spite of the memories. It's a loaded song now.
“It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death! I shall not enter Odin’s hall with fear. There I shall wait for my sons to join me. And when they do, I will bask in their tales of triumph. The Aesir will welcome me! My death comes without apology! And I welcome the valkyries to summon me home!”
-Ragnarr Loðbrók
U mean actor travis fimmil
Finally I found the English version of Wardruna - Völuspá. :D
ua-cam.com/video/MijvxixJaqM/v-deo.html
"Farewell my Brother. It gladdens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a feast. Soon you will be drinking ale from curved horns. The Valkyries summon you home."
Chills every time. Best speech in tv history, hands down, bar none.
Thanks for the memory!
SKÅL! 🍻
Her voice just cuts through the drums like a diamond knife so clear and perfect
Wardruna must be one of the few bands that keep the audience muted! not a single person yelling or claping until the song ends. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to see them in Bergen, back in 2014 at Blastfest Festival!
Ofcs, this song makes all the people to experience something inside them, no one has time to jump, scream or clap during this masterpiece !
Home's ever clearer when you hear this again.
Hearing Wardruna and Aurora to me is like Earth and Air, primal and ethereal. Absolutely breathtaking
řada esalsd,🤫🤫🤫🤫
“I know it all, Odin. Where you hid your eye.” A prayer, speaking directly to the Allfather himself; as if speaking to his own father. This piece is just way too chilling to be of this world.
I am totaly certain Einar is Ødin's gift to Midgard.
@Solve Everything it is a real religion lol
@Solve Everything it is, though.
@Solve Everything odinism is a real religion, there are those of us that still put our faith in the old gods, the real gods, we are still very much in tune with the earth and our spirituality and the old ways
@Dan Arterer. if you feel the gods call to you then embrace them, my family are Scandinavian and Scottish, the norse religion is still very much around
I'm African so I can't even understand the song,but it makes me feel so grounded and at peace. I love this!! New fan here!!!!! ❤️💖
(Thank you for all your kind words.......yes I believe music transcends culture and race)
It's like a ritual song to help the spirits pass through to the spiritual world I think
Wellcome to Norway my friends
Type helvegen - translation, i'm not sure but i think they're all
Some of ''eivor'' and ''Danheim '' are translated ,such as ''i tokuni '' i riden sa '' and trollabundin also ''herr mannelig''
Same!
I am not Norwegian, but I am norse pagan, hearing this song feels like the hand of my ancestors and the gods on me, reminding me that even if this all must end one day, as long as I live, I shall walk with my truth proudly, whatever it may be
I saw them with my 9yr old son last month. I told my child this is not a concert it is a ceremony and I must say indeed it was
You are a great Mother May Freja look over you
@@mrvinyl-mrchili9583 indeed she does and always has thank you
@@mrvinyl-mrchili9583 I looked at your UA-cam channel what language are you speaking? I wish I understood it LOL
@@macloviapadilla7870 its danish

I climb mountains, I recently reached the top of the highest mountain in America, Aconcagua 6962 meters. I can tell you that this music is what I listen to on my expeditions. It motivates me in a way that nothing else does! Thank you so much for this piece of art Wardruna and Aurora 🤩
What an awesome achievement!!
@@rafaelvieira3820 thank you so much !! It was unbelievable 💙
🙌@@Flashcrash55
I know exactly what you mean ,Flash . I sometimes listen to it when I’m preparing the monthly management accounts
Remember we are all vibrations.. What most of us are feeling is a result of a connection with the vibration of the song.. It moves your soul.. Such a powerful vibration.. It loads you up with so much energy.. Beautiful
So true...The entire universe is vibrations.
waves and light
Yes. But our indoctrination won't let go of human thought so easily. The constant battle between the auto pilot with its systematic shortcuts and the you, banging against the tunnel of belief and systematic certainty (doctrines/ dogmas, etc).
@@carpetclimber4027
You are not wrong.
The walls built around our thoughts and lives by the so called truths we call reality just hamstring our spirits.
Hard to get past those barriers and you are always being drawn back.
@@mushroomcloud1 Exactly. "Life", as we live it, constantly draw us back. That's what makes it so difficult to keep focus. Apart from that you cannot ignore all the lies, or they will physically hunt you.
as an old man this did indeed make me cry, such beauty...
What an indescribable power this music has...
The hair on my arms stands at attention and my spirit quickens..
Seeing them live has changed my soul
I don't know what happened. One minute, I was Puerto Rican, the next minute, I'm a Viking, ready to dine with the Gods in Valhalla!
All seriousness though, I been fascinated with the cultures and definitely inlove with the music. Amazing!
Igualll!!🇵🇷
Estoy las mismas!
This made me laugh so hard! Cheers, and love from Norway :)
Come visit us in Norway when Corona is over
Yes!! I see my people on here much love! And Hell yeah, visiting Norway been on my bucket list! I know I would love it out there.
Aurora's voice is the lullaby to my soul.
This song is so spine chilling.. its ethereal and makes you long for something you've never known... but when you listen to the words it is hauntingly beautiful and fills you with strength
It took me 42 years to find my favorite song.

Your words are beautiful. Coming from a humbling place as a Native American that didn’t know there are more like us. May we all meet one day dance and sing the pleasure of our devotion, our love, our fight and what we take with us to contribute, not just what we leave behind.
There are thousands of us. We just have to meet. Just say when and where.
@@uniosil7478 I like the name what does it mean?
The native spirit of European and Middle Eastern peoples was erased by civilization. Since Scandanavia was the last place of Europe to be Christianized/civilized with Europe, there's a shred of it that's held on. It lives on through this music.
@@Zhohan- well balto-slavic peoples as well, and finno-ugric peoples also
@@uniosil7478 in Valhalla
I cannot describe what this song does to my body. It makes me shiver in my whole body and spine and i feel like i'm connecting with old scandinavian culture. it it truly amazing what this song does and i'm here for it !
Cringe.
Are you Scandinavian or of Scandinavian decent? Greetings from a northern Norwegian ^^
@@DrRaadM What's cringe is you posting on almost literally every single comment where people extend their gratitude and love for the old times, times we've all forgotten but that we in someway or fashion are intrigued about. You, sir, are cringe when you try to besserwisser everyone and everything, spewing out nonsense where you try to tie paganism and cultural heritage to neo-Nazism. Shameful.
@@DrRaadM Looks like the vikings didn't call you. Get the f*ck out
@@DrRaadM jew
What a song ❤. Loves from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
I'm obsessed with this masterpiece. As a Chilean I can say that even though I am not Norwegian, this makes me feel very connected to the Scandinavian culture. So magical.
weeeena
@@sakura121094 wena
No puedo estar mas de acuerdo, que canción más mágica
Your past lives. That's why I'm getting a reading to see who was before this life.
They say it themselves that this magic is not limited to one culture, but an expression of something universal in the human spirit.
Wardruna, you have no competition. You are the best. Magic.
Kazio Kuntz Heilung are pretty amazing.
Gryphon0468
Wardruna, Heilung, and Danheim in one concert....idc where they played, I'd be there
I prefer Heilung the most, but I have collected the albums of Both these band's (well the entire discography avail on bandcamp for both bands and I have added Danheim to my wishlist...) Check out the Nordvis label on BandcampCOM if you like any of the before mentioned bands............
and i like Heilung the most cuz i think they were the first I heard.........
Forndom is also pretty amazing.
Their voices blend so well :O Especially at 4:43
I got shivers up and down my spine when they started singing like that
At 1:24 as well
3:15 sounds cool
It's almost like desperation when they harmonise like that! It gives me chills
5:08 gives a shockwave with sound in the body
I saw them recently in Athens at Herodes Atticus ancient theatre, with the Acropolis on one side and them on the other and I have to tell you it was something to live for.
I can feel it in your words and the place you heard it.
