    Really great reaction! I had the exact same experience at the end of just sitting back and saying "wow"! This was my number 1 when it came out and it's still my number 1 now. It's everything I love about Eurovision. Ethnic vibe, in their own language, powerful vocals, entertaining stage show. I have a soft spot for rock in Eurovision too so this ticks every box for me!

    Kulning in Norwegian is lokking or kulokk. At the very beginning you can hear an old recording of the "lokk" that is the inspiration for the chorus. Yes, it was a nøkkelharpe. Gåte is a fantastic band. The song "Svarteboka" is also an experience.

    You do the same thing as me. I also always wait until the last song gets released.
    I actually then do a blind listen to all songs once. When i did it, Norway was my 2nd favourite.
    I then watch all MV's/Performance's, and after i did it, Norway became my favourite. I just love it so much. 12 points from Portugal.

    The instrument at the beginning was indeed in nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle in English). Since you enjoyed this song, I also recommend to check out the original version of "Ulveham" which was released last year and is nearly twice as long (you find it as an audio-clip on youtube). Gåte are a Folk Rock band and if you like their style, I highly recommend to check out the live and official music videoclips you find on their official youtube-channel, especially the live-clips of "Knut liten" and "Rideboll og Gullborg" as well as the clips of "Hemnarsverdet", "Kjærleik" (both are acoustic songs) and "Skarvane" (which sounds very electronic). Gåte already started in 1999, when their singer was just 14 years old, but there has been a longer hiatus in their career. At the end of 2005, their singer decided she wanted to become an actress and except for a few concerts in 2009/2010, it wasn't before 2017 that Gåte reunited. Last year, a few weeks before their Norwegian tour, the vocalist's brother and co-founding member Sveinung decided to quit the band. He was replaced by John Stenersen, the guy who played the nyckelharpa in this clip. One of Gåte's influences is the Swedish Folk Rock band Garmarna. Fun fact: the lyrics of Garmarna's song "Vedergällningen" (released in 1999) tell the same story as the Norwegian medieval ballad "Møy i ulveham", which Gåte's song is based on. The main difference is that in Swedish version which Garmarna's song is based on, the main character who is turned into a wolf by the evil stepmother is a boy, whereas in the Norwegian version, it is a girl.
    Since you are Swedish, on a very rare demo EP which Gåte recorded at the beginning of their career, they also included a rendition of the Swedish lullaby "Byssan lull" and on their debut album "Jygri" (2003), you find "Bruremarsj frå Jämtland".
    Gåte's vocalist Gunnhild does indeed use herding calls in some songs. BTW, are you familiar with the Finnish-Swedich Folk Rock band Gjallarhorn? There's a live videoclip titled "Cow Calling" on their official youtube-channel giving a perfect impression of kulning/kulokk. And since I've already mentioned Garmarna, "Vallåt från Hälsingland" from their debut-EP also comes to my mind.

      @MissLoonasSpeech 7 місяців тому

      @@ailino86 You're welcome! :) I think Gjallarhorn aren't active anymore. Their last album "Rimfaxe" came out in 2006. What made them special was the fact that they also used a didgeridoo in their music. Are you familiar with the Swedish bands Hedningarna (they had two Finnish vocalists on three of their albums, out of which I think "Trä" is their best) and Två Fisk och en Fläsk? By the way, the guy who now plays keyed fiddle in Gåte (he also plays hurdy-gurdy) is also the band leader of the female-fronted Norwegian Folk Rock/Metal band Bergtatt. I think that people who like Gåte might like them as well. If you are interested, I'd recommend their songs "Huldra" (Gåte also have a song with this title, but it's not the same song) and "Gudmund og Signelita" (a beautiful ballad), both featuring their current vocalist.

    Thanks for this great reaction👍
    Yes it’s a ‘nyckelharpa’, and the chorus is inspired by an old Norwegian ’kulning’ which is used in the intro😊
    And in Norway we still use ‘kulning’ (kulokk), I use it (I’m not that good though lol)
    English lyrics:
    [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen]
    [Verse 1]
    I was such a beautiful maiden
    My stepmother evil, my mother she died
    She turned me into a sword and a needle
    And sent me to the king's estate
    And the anger my stepmother felt the most
    That all the stately liked me best
    [Chorus: Vocalization]
    [Verse 2]
    Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf
    She cursed me to walk the forest alone
    And never will I bе whole and good
    Before I drink my brothеrs' blood
    [Chorus: Vocalization]
    [Outro: Vocalization, Storm]
    I then tore out her heart
    So her blood flowed free
    Then I got to drink my brothers' blood”

    The original folk ballad exists in 10 versions in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish. Here is the one perhaps most close to the Gåte performance. This version is a combination of two ballads "Møya i ulveham" (The maiden in wolf hide) and "Møya i linden" (The maiden in the linden) which in several versions has been intertwined in different ways. The origin may go back to translated Welsh/Irish texts fron the later half of the 12th century translated to old Norse in the early 13th century. The first written version existing is in Danish from before 1583. These old ballads are meant for dancing, so there are a lot of verses + a chorus sung by all the dancers. Gåte makes use of a different chorus than written here.
    Oppskrift 1857 av Sophus Bugge etter Elen Rolleivstad, Fyresdal, Telemark
    Written down (in dialect)1857 by Sophus Bugge from Elen Rolleivstad, Fyresdal, Telemark
    Eg va' meg så liti ei møy
    mi moder ho monne på barseng døy.
    -Imot den blie somår
    I was so small a maiden
    my mother she should in birth-bed die
    - Towards the mild summer
    Eg va' ikkje håt åtte år
    då eg fekk meg en sjukmoder i går.
    I was not yet eight years
    when I got a stepmother in the house
    Så skapte ho meg i en gangari grå
    så sendte ho meg av ti kongens går.
    Then she made me into a grey horse
    Then she sent me off to the king’s estate
    De totte mi skjukmor vere vest
    at adde dei gjillaste sill' ake mæ meg mest
    That my stepmother thought was the worst
    that all the finest should ride with me the most
    Så skapte ho meg i eit liti svær
    eg sille fare i mannefær.
    Then she made me into a small sword
    I should travel on the ways of men [= to war]
    De totte mi skjukmor vere vest
    at adde dei gjillaste sille bera meg mest
    That my stepmother thought was the worst
    that all the finest should carry me the most
    Så skapte ho meg i ei liti nål
    så sendte ho meg av ti skræddarens går.
    Then she made me into a small needle
    Then she sent me off to the tailor’s estate
    De totte mi skjukmor vere vest
    at adde dei gjillaste sill' saume mæ meg mest
    That my stepmother thought was the worst
    that all the finest should sew with me the most
    Så skapte ho meg i ein liten kniv
    ho sa' eg sill' taka av manneliv
    Then she made me into a small knife
    She said I should take men’s lives
    De totte mi skjukmor vere vest
    at adde dei gjillaste sill' tægje mæ meg mest
    That my stepmother thought was the worst
    that all the finest should take with me the most
    Så skapte ho meg i ein ulve grå
    ho sa' at eg sille på skogjen gå.
    Then she made me into a grey wolf
    She said I should roam in the forest
    Ho sa at eg sill' ikkje få bot
    før eg fekk drukkji min broders blod
    She said I should not be restored
    before I got drinking my brother’s blood
    Min skjukmoder var så gammel en kvinde
    men herre Gud lod hende mæ båni binde
    My stepmother was such an old woman
    but the lord God let her be bound with children
    Mi skjukmoder va' heimi i åtte år
    ho tore 'kje ti kyrkja for ulven grå
    My stepmother stayed home for eight years
    She dared not to the church for the grey wolf
    Dæ niende tok ti kyrkja gå
    nie møyar så va dei då.
    The ninth startet going to the church
    Nine maidens were there then
    Nie møyar dei rei i ring
    mi skjukmor ho rei innar i kring
    Nine maidens rode in a ring
    my stepmother she rode within the circle
    Så tok eg hennar i kåpa blå
    så rykte eg hennar av gangaren grå
    Then I grabbed her in the blue coat
    Then I jerked her off the grey horse
    Så tok eg hennar i silkjeskaut
    så rykte eg hennar av veg braut
    Then i grabbed her in the silk headscarf
    Then I jerked her off the track of the road
    Så reiv eg ut hennes vistri sie
    så hennes blod de sprang så vie
    Then I tore out her left side
    so that her blood ran so widely
    Så reiv eg ut hennes hjarterot
    så fekk eg drukkji min broders blod
    Then I tore out her heart's root
    then I got drinking min brother’s blood
    Då eg ha' drukkji min broders blod
    då bleiv eg atte ei jomfru så go
    When I had drunk my brother’s blood
    then I became again a maiden so good
    Då eg va' ei jomfru så go
    då gjekk eg inn for min fader å sto
    When I was maiden so good
    then I went in standing in front of my father
    Då eg gjekk inn for min fader å sto
    så skapte han meg i ei lind så go.
    When I went in standing in front of my father
    He made me into a linden so good
    Fyst andre lindar dei feller bla
    allstøtt ska' du stande like klar
    First other lindens they shed leaves
    All the time you shall stay just as ready
    Når andre lindar dei feller løv
    allstøtt ska' du stande like grøn
    When other lindens shed leaves
    All the time you shall stay just as green
    Her sit du mi syster å skor din fot
    eg stende uti mæ frosi rot.
    Here you sit, my sister, putting shoes on your foot
    I stand outside with frozen root
    Her sit du mi syster å klær din kropp
    eg stende uti mæ frosen topp.
    Here you sit, my sister, dressing your body
    I stand outside with frozen top
    I kvell så kjeme der belar ti deg
    imorgo kjem hoggaren høgg av meg
    Tonight there is coming a suitor for you
    Tomorrow comes the lumberjack cutting me down
    Dei høgge av meg dei kyrkjesvalir
    eg høyrer så mange dei løyndetali

    They make of me the church swales
    I will hear so many secret speeches
    Dei høgge av meg ein kyrkjekamm
    eg skjuler så mang ein synduge mann
    They make of me a church chamber [perhaps a confessional]
    I will hide so many sinful men

Did you also get the original lyrics from there - BTW, thanks for the translation (dialects can sometimes be quite difficult for non-native speakers like me - I'm German) - or did you have another source?

    If I'm not mistaken, I think Gunnhild was schooled in 'kulning' as a kid (or 'kulokk' as we say), and probably also 'kveding' (which is the singing style of the old ballads). Then as a young adult, along with the band, morphed all that into something contemporary. Perhaps a bold claim, but I think they've almost single-handedly reconnected two generations to these old and otherwise lost songs ;)
