I'm glad you guys liked the song, and felt moved by it - but you totally misunderstood what they were singing about. This song is part of a story about a group of essentially peaceful villagers who were attacked from outside (according to the story), who wanted to be left alone to live in peace. Note the part about "How can I talk about coexistence when you only understand the language of the sword?" (etc) The dialog between the men was an exchange of threat and counterthreat between attacker and villager - and the villagers realizing that they were going to have to fight or die. This song is NOT a celebration of war, it is a lamentation of it. If you watch the LIFA live concert in full, and pay attention to the lyrics and translations, you will understand better what is going on. This band is NOT a Nordic Viking "Kill 'em all and let Odin sort 'em out" band. That's part of why they are so good. Also, as others have pointed out, this music is harking back to a time long before the "Viking" era. If you understand the background of this group's efforts, you will appreciate them all the more. Thanks for listening to them with an open mind.
This comment must be the top!
Bravo
This is definitely iron age pre-Viking stuff in this song, but as a whole, even the band themselves describe their influences from early Iron age through Viking age.
You totally missunderstood.... THIS IS ABOUT "ROME" PERPETUAL JIHAD TO EXTINGUISH OUR SEED! They burned the druids then, they bomb maternities now! Same Rome! 2000 years span!
Wes Copas can you please tell me what time the band represents? Like same time as the romans or old pharaohs ? Im egyptian
I appreciate the black gentleman saying "White people should be proud of their heretige". Good man. Be proud my Germanic brothers n sisters!
Not just Germanic all Northern Europeans at some stage where like this at some point
@@gerardmurphy8278 Agreed. I'm so happy for you all. It's great to see European people connecting with their tribal roots
I am very proud of my heritage, we were brave and fierce.
Indeed. Everyone should be proud of their heritage. It's a shame modern Life has turned us as a collective species away from our roots.
@bombbay321 I believe, one day, we will all return to our roots. Hopefully the technology will match it in spirit.
It's not just Norwegian. It's Nordic/Northern European - Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Finnish, German - and thanks! I think a lot of us are proud of this band and other bands like these
Finnish maybe similar culture but more recently and currently, Uralic, not Germanic as is the language at least, even thou
gh people are mixed these days, though ultimately, Germanic ( and Celts who are basically cousins and share similar culture in the past and present ) migrated from much more west probably
Hey don’t leave us swamp Germans out!🇳🇱
Which harkens to farther back when the bloodlines of celts and vikings swam in the bodies of prototypical endoeuropeans that gave us the brahmans of India, warriors of the western stepp and persia. The language they're speaking is old German. That, sandskrit and old Gaelic are root forms of the prototypical endoeuropean language that's responsible for approximately 46% of all languages spoken today. They are a powerful act. It's to the merit of our yearnings for ancient things that you reacted so emotionally.
I saw them this summer and it was truly one of the best experiences in my life.
They open their "concerts", which are rituals and not just music, by saying this "prayer" together with the audience:
"Remember, that we all are brothers.
All people, beasts, tree and stone and wind.
We all descent from the one great being, that was always there,
before people lived and named it,
before the first seed sprouted."
I'm very happy that you took all of their work in with your whole heart.
And it worked, as I could witness.
Not because of your heritage as a certain nationality, but because of your heritage as a human being.
We are all of the earth and this music reminds us of that.
Vera Meleena I’d love to see them live, you’re lucky. I live in Florida, I’m sure they’ll never come here.
Lucky. Glad you had that experience.
vera you rock , hail freya , may she protect you at every step you take ,nothing else to add
Eternal glory the Gods our! Glory to the one and multiple Power in all its manifestation! I am always there, where I should be and my Spirit is obliged to keep all that is given by Eternity in many times multiplying. Where the Soul is in other Worlds, the lessons of Power are taken, and the Spirit becomes stronger in it, following it. The soul without the spirit, as if sleeping, in the gloom, the Spirit fades, the Soul is beautiful, the Spirit creates, the Soul is dark, the Spirit destroys. The soul is in turmoil, the Spirit is dangerous, as long as the path of the Soul is not clear. The spirit of bez harmony with the Soul brings misfortune and misfortune
This is the core of Heiluing
"Remember, that we all are brothers
All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind
We all descend from the one great being
That was always there
Before people lived and named it
Before the first seed sprouted"
thats the prayer they say in the beginning of set right? I have just heard Heilung for the first time today...I am COMPLETELY hooked, connected with it immediately, there is something visceral, primal, and eloquent all at the same time. Cant describe the attraction to it..
So true...
When I heard it O googled the background of the band, their descend, the musicians and singers, about their costumes and decorations and instruments and songs. How they were "born" and what they carry to the people.
Then, I was so hooked up and I heard it again amd again. I read the text. And the translation. And O sang with her. I dreamt of this song.
My religious background is Asatrù. And I am interested in philosophies like Buddhism. But I only practise Asatrù which means to stand by the ancestors. A revived religion after Christianity killed off everything else what people had in their heart and minds before knowing about Jesus.
A great man, no doubt! He brought wisdom to humanity. But our ancestors, too! The, told us how to survive in the cold and in the long darkness. Jesus' ancestors told their kids to bleed out animals while slaughtering because of the heat in middle east and because blood carries life.
Our ancestors drank blood (after slaughtering animals, not always when meeting a stranger! 😉😄😇) because in the cold it is precious energy and respectless against the dead animal to throw this away.
Totally different cultures.
I love to learn about soul, energy and love of Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra and lots of other wise people but my personal background from my Northern family (from mother's side they are Hungarian and Persian) is revived and I love zo be part of it and make it living on in my heart.
And every 3 months we celebrate this with lots of friends when jul, ostára or equinox is. These are real dates to me. Xmas is not because Jesus wasn't born in december and should it matter when the birthday of a great wise man in middle east was? Why not celebrating Buddha's birthday, too? A day off in spring would be nice! 😂👍🏻😁
We knoe so much about what was going on thousands of years ago in a far away desert. But we know too less about our own spiritual and pre-historic background.
For me it was so heart-filling to see some parts of historical knowledge learning to walk and dance again. In new clothes but real.
I had to read Latin texts in school like Tacitus and Gaius Julius etc. It was beautiful to read this songtext. OMG...💙💙💙
yes it is
And some people are more brothers than others
This music is not Viking, but Proto Germanic / Iron Age !!
This is way before the Viking Era, and Proto Germanic is the root of almost everything in Northern Europe, Norway, Sweden and Denmark (A.K.A. the Vikings), Germany, England and a lot more.
Exactly!! And i got the feeling that the people ''who only knew the language of the sword'' were actually the Christians trying to convert them during the Middle Ages....i might be wrong but to me it feels like its "pagans" vs Christians
JS I'm pretty sure it's the Romans attacking the germanic tribes during that time. Heilung has alot of other songs and content referencing the Roman battles so it's most probable that they were meaning them here aswell.
^^^^^^^
Agree
Holy Roman Empire tried invading Northern Europe, they managed to Win Ofc but that is when The Viking Age started, it was all a big self-Defence really.. When Germania and the Saxon was taken, The remaining Nordics had to act, when they started to see that they failed, they started adventuring outwards..
Ofc there was those who chose gold above Honor, started hiring themselves out to the Holy Roman Empire, they betrayed us.. War corrupt everyone...
Yeah the Roman Empire squelched all Pagan Tribes. And eventually later on Christianity took over the Romans, but Christianity kept many Roman traditions. Thus "Roman Catholic" and even Regular Christianity have Pagan leanings.
By the way, Heilung means Healing and the process of healing
@Pralaya Bodyworks "Heilung" is german and can mean both 'healing' and 'cure', depending on the context in which it is being used.
"Wir haben die Heilung für Covid-19 gefunden", for example, means 'we've found the cure (heilung) for covid-19'.
"Seine Heilung wird einige Wochen dauern" means 'his healing (process) will take several weeks'.
It's all a matter of context that the word is being used in.
“If you have Norwegian heritage be proud of that shit”. I am brother, every single day. I’m so glad this music exists. And I’m beyond ecstatic you loved it too.
Heilung is amazing. I hope you go watch Wardruna next.
I was literally sitting here before logging into UA-cam thinking, "One day Vin and Sori will do Heilung and it will be glorious". Imagine my surprise 20 seconds later to see the first thing in my subs menu.
Past His Prime Gaming i was so friggin ecvited
I seen this and was like yeeeeeeesss!!!! Out loud
Yeah I would've never expected them to reach this far deep! Super hyped
This is far from the best heilung song I’ve heard but I’m still learning about the band
I was thinking the same thing. 😯 That is strange. The official video is awesome though.
i was jumping in joy when you guys post this!!, I WAS THE FEW AND PROUD GUYS WHO ASKED HEILUNG!
"you asked, you shall recieved"
Mashallah !
Thank you for requesting Heilung. I just love them. Her voice just touches my heart and makes me numb. Just beautiful, no words.
VinAnd Sori Thank you guys for finally doing this one! A few of us have been asking for it for a while. I also want to thank you guys for being so open to it. I’m very proud of my Danish Ancestry and this music gives me chills and pride when I hear it. This is a proto-Germanic reconstruction. I think this would be about 500 to 1000 years before the Vikings. Anyway thanks guys!
Awesome!! Long live the Danes!!
I was born and raised in Brazil from north Italian immigrants and this speaks to me in manners I don't really understand. Like finding an old toy from your childhood days you thought was lost or you couldn't remember ever existed. It moves me, it soothes me, it sends shivers down my spine. I wanna be IN it, I wanna BE it. It's strange, I'm confused. But I love it.
I understand totally it wakes up the blood!
Your parents didn´t originate from the Lombardy by any chance?
@@frankishempire2322 if your talking to me I'd say my ancestors hail from Spain as I know it but we are mixed as most so who knows .why do you ask?
Italian pagan gods are well known. Almost every planet in Solar System named after one of them. I mean, you do not need any northen ancestors to feel implicated. Every human can feel tribal roots in his soul over this performance.
Marcio Coelho That’s cool, I stayed in Brazil for awhile in my 20’s and loved it. The first thing I thought of when I heard this music was that my friends in Brazil would like it a lot.
People praying for peace. When they have no choice but conflict to defend everyone they know and love - be warned. However, let’s pray for peace.
The reason they sang that way Sori was to replicate the way it is believed that Scandinavian singers sounded during that historical period. It is a style of throat singing that there are historical accounts of foreigners describing as the sound of howling dogs or a cart riding over gravel. So like Vin said they did it right, they wanted to stay true to what they believe music from that part of the world would of sounded like. In fact many people have pointed to that Scandinavian throat singing style as the birth of what evolved into the harsh and guttural vocal style many metal bands use today. I have Norwegian, Celtic, and Germanic heritage and proud of it like we all should be of our heritage, so this style of music I really dig as well as a lot of Celtic folk music something about it just speaks to me on a primal level.
ohhhh well that makes sense!! ~Sori
spot on!
YES! The roots of Blackmetal. It's the same with "corpse paint" The warriors would wear the paint to strike fear in battle and they would eat Psilocybin mushrooms and "berserk" as they believed it gave them powers.
there is nothing to support the ide that Norse fighters worse face paint...kohl around the eyes yes, but no evidence otherwise.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,your idea about mushrooms is likewise a theory lacking proof, other ideas are self-induced hysteria and alcohol
Throat singing is the universal ancient chanting. See also many Eastern traditions (Hun Hur Tuu, Buddhist monk chants etc.).
You should check out the whole live set. It's excellent
bipolargods509 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please? :D
Yeah it's seriously amazing. One of the coolest shows I've seen.
Yeah if Sori wants to hear more of the male voices, especially the throat singing stuff, then check this one out by them! Alfadhirhaiti
I was there... One of the best things i ever see.. Such a show.. You must see the whole set...
I love what this guy says about being proud of your heritage. Everyone has something to be proud of celebrating your heritage. And anyone should be allowed to appreciate other's backgrounds.
That's how we stop this crazy division that's going on right now!
Man, I just love this guy's reaction.
Many blessings to these nice people.
Everyone deserves to love their own people. This is a part of my history. This is part of my faith. This is in my blood. Gods bless my people. 😊
P.S. Your girl straight went into a trance. 😄
Back to the original religions of Europe. Paganism. Polytheism. Nature as a divinity. Gaia for the Greeks. Cernunnos, God of Forests and animals for the celts & Gallics.
You can believe in these Gods or not, but certainly more and more people consider nature as sacred.
Even the Bible says, "The earth is the Lord's. The world, and everything in it." A true believer in the One True God is obligated to to uphold that truth by being a good steward of this earth. So many fall short.
we passed peoples initiative to stop the cutting of government owned forest, which is vast majority. back before the wars, the cutting wasnt done by cutting everything down and turning the ground to look like a warzone. but during the war they started doing it because the need for wood was so great. sadly what was meant to be part time, turned into a lasting thing. so we want to put an end to to the unnecessary cutting of the forest, not to mention how they proceed to cut in nature reserves. what right do they have to cut down over hundred year old protected forest. the paths that Elias Lönnrot traveled to get the material for Kalevala. pisses me off.
The modern Church has failed in regards to creation doctrine. It is understandable why so many believe that Christianity's doctrine of creation is that it is only there for human exploitation and has no divine importance. Please, I encourage you to read my answer to a question on Quora regarding hunting in the Middle Ages. It should help illuminate your understanding of traditional Christianity and the correct Christian views of nature. The link is below.

Finland added a national flag day for nature (Finnish Nature Day) two years ago. It's celebrated on 25. of August.
Not to mention Brythonic God of Nature Aeseci.
The male vocals is an ancient way of singing / chanting. Throat singing in laymans terms is how it was done. There are a lot of historical roman passages/documented writing of commanders of roman legions in the area of when they encountered these tribes that the throat singing they heard was the most terrifying thing to hear and a lot of battles against these tribes were outright avoided/canceled because of the sound and intensity of it.
Ibn al-tartushi about his visit to Hedeby, Denmark.: "I have never heard any more awful singing then the singing of the people in Schleswig. It is a groan that comes out of their throats, similar to the bark of the dogs but even more like a wild animal."
People are divided: one half is on the side of this abrhamic man and have no emotional connection to harshness of these vocals and find them ugly and "disapointing".
The other group loves it, has an instant connection, and a form of recognition. A tiny group repsonds rather intensely; especially during Heilung performances, and describe it as feeling a sort of rage, and being overcome with a very focussed lust for battle, a resolve. It's interesting ebcause those people are discribing what germanic people know as "wod"; a word that is in the name of Wodan/Odin, and it is exactly that: a type of overwhelming, rage in the form of a religious experience. No women have been documented experiencing this.
I am glad that you give this extremely exceptional Nordic group a chance. I tell you a little about its history. The group, which are two boys and one girl, have Norwegian, Danish and German nationality and uses instruments such as horns of different animals, drums painted with their own blood, human bones, rattles with human ashes, bells, stones, all to go back to first musical compositions that could be interpreted 10,000 years ago, in the iron age in northern Europe. All the letters are taken from carved gadgets from the era of the Nordic iron, such as arrowheads, bows, swords, rune stones and recite poems and psalms of war, peace and protection. Whereupon and for this, heilung, which means healing in German, is in close collaboration with archaeologists specializing in the field. The languages used by heilung are several. Among them are Latin, Old Danish, German and English. They were so successful with their first album that they had to release a new live album, which includes 2 new songs. Also a video of that album live and this year they released their second work, futha, which is a much more feminine work. His first album, Ofnir, is much more aggressive and masculine. They are also announcing the publication of the Blue Ray of the Lifa concert. During the concerts, some representations of how these ancient rituals of the iron age could be made. A few months ago they toured North America. Also just finished the soundtrack of the video game Hellblade 2. I hope this review helps you to understand a bit the context of this musical group. A hug from Spain.
The woman sitting next to you is, like, REALLY into the music. She looks like she's in meditation. 😁 My favourite Heilung song/video, like, ever. 😄 🤘
She feels it. You Should see their early vids. It's a joy seeing her evolve.
Guys! You rock! Thank you so much for reviewing this! It’s so rare to request a song and get it reviewed. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do. Keep on doing what you’re doing and again, thank you!
Davis MacLean love this song so much. Thanks for this! I've never considered requesting it myself
Wardruna's Helvegen is similar (Norwegian folk music). The melody is beautiful. They (and one of the singers whose name is Einar Selvik who also does solo stuff) also wrote a bunch of music for the Vikings TV series. You should totally also check out Vesania's Notion. The vocalist is the bassist of Behemoth. Love what you guys do, which says a lot cuz I usually only like reaction videos of memes. You all make some really good and interesting shit. Keep up the good work.
Shamming Shamu 🇳🇴 Norwegian blood here. 💪🏻✌🏻
yup my favorite stuff
The live version he does is way better because there’s so much emotion in his voice
Einar Selvig of Wardruna also was the drummer of Gorgoroth for about 4 years in the early 00's.
Shamming Shamu Einar’s music speaks to my soul. I can feel the emotion. Just feels powerful! That’s what happens when you are of scandinavian descent haha
Ragnarok is not the end of the world, it is a cycle that repeats, essentially resetting the world.
At Ragnarok, Fenrir and the allfather Odin duel and defeat eachother, which marks the destruction and recreation of existence.
Dying as a warrior in battle, with honor, meant that you were chosen by the valkyries to be carried to Valhalla, so you can rejoin your shieldbrothers and maidens, to fight and sit with Odin and maed. It is nothing like a religious Jihad. Personally, I don't think of the Old Norse being essentially religious people (as we know religion today). They were a lot more connected with their surroundings and nature.
Alas, they were not into documenting their own history through written text, but through tradition, stories and songs. Therefore, whatever we know, is composed through translations and written history of the British, who were ravaged by old Norse raids and occupations. Ironically (and sadly, if I may say so), this brought their culture in contact with Christianity and after they were driven out of England, Christianity and a more "modern" style of living slowly ate up whatever was left of the old Nordic culture.
That is my limited understanding.
Ragnarok aka New Years Eve.
;)
You are close with the fenrir vs. Odin fight. Fenrir will devour Odin, and Vidar (one of Odin's sons) will slay Fenrir in vengeance. You may be thinking of Garm (a different wolf.) and Tyr killing each other. The rest is pretty close tho.
Ragnarök is basically the Kali Yuga age.
@@arth_steps and we still in Kali Yuga age
Half the fallen warriors go with the valkyries to Trudvang and Freja.
This was causing a soul resonance in Sori’s tribal heart. Beautiful to see.
"We are all brothers. beasts and trees. Stone and wind. We all descend from the one great being....that was always there, before man lived and named it, before the first seed sprouted" - Heilung
mayhemic draco We're all children of the sun!
In your discussion about "Vikings", you should remember that Viking was not a people, it was an occupation. They were Norse, or Geats, or Danes not Vikings... They went on a viking, meaning raiding, but they also were excellent traders, and yes there were many who stayed home and "farmed", although their land was not very productive...
Or Brit peasants were really filthy
Both the Norse (et al) and Celts prided themselves on cleanliness (relative to other groups of course). Warriors would spend considerable amounts of time grooming prior to battle. By our standards today they might not have seemed as very clean, but by the standards of the day they were very clean.
Everybody in scandinavia at that time were norse. Norse is not the same as a dane or geat.
There was a distinct difference between Norse, Swedes, Danes and so on even in that time.
Requiem- Norse is not a ethnicity like swedes or danes
Heilung's music leaves me with permanent shiver on my spine, as long as it flows. Maria's voice is so soothing it literally fulfills the name 'Healing'
The female singing, the beginning part that was sad, is actually a recitation of a funerary inscription from a runestone from the 7th Century. There is no actual accurate translation because the inscription is worn away. One translation fo what they're singing, which is a phonetic reading of the 2nd of 3 panels of the stone:
"Hither stone the man stained with corpse-sea, made thus oarpins in the bearing-worn boat
Whom as came harrier-god here to goð 's land?
Fishlike, out of river-fear swimming, as bird, our of f(?) crowing"
In its entirety, the Rune is believed to be about a person who was treacherously killed. It is generally agreed that it is written in stylized poetry and in a partly metrical form containing a protection for the grave and the description of a funerary rite
What I think is interesting about the song is the inversion you guys like to talk about: The actual aggressive part of this song is the female singer's part, which is beautiful and emotive. And the aggressive sounding part is really the "come on, man, lets all just chill" part. And, while there is the eventual acquiescence to the idea that violence is going to be inevitable (befitting the coarseness of the vocals), it's an interesting element you wouldnt get without finding a translation of the runic lyrics. This whole live album is incredible.
I know a lot of people say this but I truly have never clicked on a video as fast as I did for this one. Heilung has become one of my favorites, they’re so powerful.
Never saw any of your content before, this one was in my recommendations. I usually don't like Reaction Video's cause most people just sit there for 5 minutes, play the song and then the video ends. That's no reaction for me. You on the other hand actually share your thoughts and feelings, look into the lyrics and break them down. I really liked it, keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany.
Liam 277 I really appreciate his point of view and his insights. He’s very open minded and is able to philosophize unlike most people.
Vin and Sori, you must watch the WHOLE show! They begin with a ritual for all humans, beasts and spirits! This song is only a small part of a big ritual to advocate for peace and to criticize warmongering!
And it's shamanistic! (A friend of me, who is a shaman, was not happy with them, because they make a ritual to a show. But she must accept, that they contribute to a better acceptance of shamanistic religion)
I'm sorry your friend was upset with them I too am a shaman and recently saw or Wardruna with my child and I told him going in this is not a concert but a ceremony. We are all connected and we all need to heal And these ceremonies are healing ceremonies.
@@macloviapadilla7870 Both Heilung and Wardruna has actual spiritual intent and effects. These people know what they are doing. Especially Einar Selvik of Wardruna.
@@ErwinBlonk yes absolutely perfectly said
rituals are always shows and they always have been thats not a bad thing ....
@Vicodyn string instruments where laid on the sick bodyparts and healed with vibration of sound , same as shamanic drumming or throatsinging mongols or chanting buddists of old times or the trumpets who brought down the walls of jericho and so on ,
just to add to your statement and amplify it
My Ancestors smile upon the Earth! OUR Ancestors are Healing (Heilung) through us. There is a reason you resonate so deeply, brother. It speaks to your souls true purpose.
*Wardruna - Helvegen*
Yes!!! That song introduced me to this genre of music. It speaks to my soul it's so incredibly powerful!
FMF 2015: International TV Series Gala: Vikings suite, Trevor Morris, Einar Selvik would be my choice ;) and both rock
It's refreshing to see Christians react to something so non-Christian in such an honest way. You both tried to see it without bias and understand it on an emotional, cultural, and spiritual level. The Christian lens is still there, but it's very clear you're making the effort to look beyond it, and not get caught up with that stereotypical "it's heathen and ungodly!" response. Heilung is sort of an attempt at proto-Germanic music and concepts; culture that predates the Viking Age, and is even less documented. Attempts at recreating something like this involves a lot of speculation and gap filling, but they still do it well. You can sort of feel that respect and reverence in their performance, and you both respond to that. We all have those tribal roots, and music like this resonates with those roots.
Religion is cancer.
Baret shut up
@@brad5983 or what, is your bearded skywizard going to kill me with fireballs coming from the sky?
@@baret9146 I both agree and disagree with you on this. Monotheistic religions are a cancer. To my knowledge polytheistic religions never killed in the name of a specific god or goddess.. it was usually for conquering and obtaining more lands.
@@Blackdog06019
Ever heard of the Aztecs?
Since the earliest tribes primal drums and chants were the roots of music.
Thats why it always makes me laugh when people say "Rap music is not music", it's closer to the roots of music than beethoven
The members of Heilung are Danish, Norwegian and German.
@ManuelB1b3r they're not, so it isn't.
@I am Nobody yep. in reality they are even not progressive nor liberal (liberals are the real progressives) but just anti western/antiwhite racist identity left wing nazis. typical anti trump suckers. apart from that: the natives of europe and northern america have a similar climate and share some aspects (there are also some differences. the germanic tribes evolved after colliding with the roman culture as fastest on the planet - which ended then in the modern western world (overrunning roman empire, then europe, founding new kingdoms, empires etc. (france, england, all germanic tribe names .... to many historians also are sucking on the relation between tribes (was most of mankind at that time) and higher cultures and about demographical shifts due to changing lifestyles due to culture clashes - still same as in modern times in some parts of the world ))
ManuelB1b3r not Native American actually. As someone with both Nordic and Native American ancestry and has heavily researched both sides of my family tree I can say that for sure.
Heilung based their band and songs off of the pre Germanic culture before they were invaded and forced into Christianity.
This time period has a LOT of similarities to Native American culture.
The traditional language of the pre Germanic Era is what they’re speaking and the face paint and garb is as well. It comes heavily from Mongolian influences as well....
I thought the same thing when I first found them as well until I researched it a bit more.
It’s so beautiful how similar these cultures were and also how devastating it is that they were both completely eradicated by genocide and forced conversion into Christianity.
We live in a time where it is very important to hold compassion in our hearts and look at the similarities and not the differences...
All Germanic
@ManuelB1b3r you should be quiet about things you don't know shit about
Wardruna - Helvegen
Do it! In a similar vein to this group but the song Helvegen hits harder.
Yeees! Wardruna is definitely worth checking out.
ohh yeah
The heart of Norse paganism.....
Don't forget to mention Ghaals involvement to pique their interest....
Good song but there are better
The males vocals are WAY more gentle (in fact it's a whisper) in the studio recorded version of this song. I want people to like this so Sori can see it!
I found HEILUNG yesterday on UA-cam by accident.. NOW IM IN LOVE WITH THE GROUP. 😍😍
Still a fan a year later?
I see some are putting here Wardruna and Heilung on a similar stage, as for their music style or epics. In my eyes, Wardruna seems to create a more majestic atmosphere in all what they do... Their albums breathe an elegant and classy dignity when evoking the Norse ancestors theme, no matter what the musical solution of every track would be. Really wonderful and touching, almost mystic musical projects.
Whereas Heilung is issued from a totally new experimental approach, with a very sophisticated antique Viking tag designed on a high conceptual level comprising history, linguistics, ancient folklore studies, ethnic art and culture. Under a "primitive" look and sound a super-elaborated project is hiding. Their savage accoustics is built up on extreme attention to the sound architecture - textures, structures and tonalities, with extraordinary output effects The sound expression (all type - word, voice, percussion, instrument) and dynamics of the rhythm in Heilung music are absolutely fabulous, never heard before, with deep both spiritual and visceral insight that awakes to life the DNA of human ancestral memory. The DNA of the human primordial, powerful sense of being. That's why so many here on YT, from so many different cultures and countries, are expressing identical feelings of energy and release when listening to Heilung. It's all about Therapy. Heilung is simply therapeutical, just as its name is reflecting (Heilung in german=healing).
Do listen to the Full Heilung Lifa show, to get the real touch from it all.
Exceptional!
tenzin dolma ... What a fabulous comment..!! Compliments to you!!
My 9 year old son and I saw Ward Runa a couple months ago and it was a ceremony and each time we listen to them and heliung it is a true ceremony of healing
I never thought you guys would ever do something like this, I discovered Heilung about six months ago, and I can not get enough. May I suggest Hamrer Hippyer probably my favorite.
Christian Templars only understood the language of the sword.

It's funny how this sounds similar to Native American music. Cultures are worlds apart but similar
when finns were immigrating to US back in the day, they were given shitty areas near indian reserves (cos americans were racist towards us) but thanks to finns being pig headed and used to hard life style, they just turned over those swamps and rocky grounds into farming land and cut the forest into same houses they were used to back home. they became very good friends with the indians as well because of how similar the culture was, today many who live in the areas have both finnish and indian ancestry, some remember the language as well but I doubt a conversation would go very smoothly after all this time.
there is also finns in alaska, US wanted to use us as buffer against russia in case they would invade from there. they lied to finns about alaska being dream land, it was a hellhole, ground completely useless to farm anything, time after time harvest failed, they had a contract with US that they would be forced to work a said amount of years (I think it was ten or more) before they could move or really be free at all. so after we were slaved by them, some of us instantly took a trip back home while some others who were simply too tired tried to move away from alaska, but as if that would have gone anywhere when there is canada in between and its not like finns were welcome there.
if you look the map with the northpole in the center of it, you will see that the Scandinavian regions, Iceland, Greenland, Alaska and further down North America are actually close by. So ancient people of those area easily move around these part of world using those north pole routes which also spread the cultures outward and southward from the north pole regions and influence each other cultures throughout the ancient years.
Native Americans actually came from Asia across the land bridge thousands of years ago that connected the two continents, and as you can research, everyone all spread out from Africa to Europe to Asia then to Americas and Australia later.

It is a crime that so many people are just discovering Maria Franz now. She was the singer in Euzen for years.
Sori - We want the "kinship and campfire" you speak of, however the christians built their churches on our sacred grounds, moved their holidays to coincide with ours and have tried to stamp us out for 1000+ years.
We're slowly reclaiming our Teutonic heritage and we are not converting people...they are searching and finding their heritage, what is truly deep in their hearts casting off the ill fitting jedean mountain cult's idolatry.
It sounds mournful because it is a millenia of lost culture and pain. There is also a deep seated anger, you will find black metal and pagan music closely linked, often sharing musicians.
You commented on the woman looking like a queen, ironically pagan women had equal rights, just like a man...they were equals until the christians brought their inequality.
I do find it interesting that you two are listening to these aforementioned styles of music, you are, in essence, helping people find the path away from christianity, for that, I thank you.
VIVISECTVID86 AGREE. I AGREE. thank you very much for taking your precious time to write all of this down.
Yikes
VIVISECTVID86 VIVISECTVID86 Stop spreading misinformation.
Virgin women were practically treated like goddesses and adulterous women were shaved, stripped naked and beaten through the village by her husband so everyone knew she was a whore.
They were just a patriarchal as Christianity, if not more so. The respected women more if they were virgins or mothers, anything in between was either neutral or disrespected.
Read Germania by Tacitus.
But yes, we are reconnecting to our past and we're tired of being told we have no culture and we're not allowed to be proud to be German, Scandinavian, Celtic, Anglo, Slavic... etc. Meaning we aren't allowed to be proud we're white.
Raaplexis you DO know, that Tacitus was Roman, right? He was part of the nation, that invaded those countries. I realize, that there isn't a lot of information of those ancient Germanic tribes. In fact, quite a bit of what we believe to know about them IS from Tacitus. BUT, you have to keep in mind, that he was Roman. So, of course, he would try to make them look uncivilized and barbaric, because they often were. And yes, women who screwed every living man in their tribe probably were treated badly, but you always have to take things written by Tacitus with a lot of salt. He didn't understand their culture, because he wasn'T part of it. He just observed and tried to look at it from his Roman perspective. In general, women were "worth" a lot more in these Germanic tribes. I mean, just think about the female godesses they had, be it Norse or Celtic. Morrigan - goddess of death for the Celts, Freya - goddess of love and marriage, Frigg - goddess of the Hearth and motherhood. Those were all very important parts of life back then and they were attributed to female gods. There is story about Morrigan, where her doings lead to the death of a strong, famous male warrior, who treated her badly. Women were a very important part of society for these people.
TL;DR: Tacitus being your main source of information is kind of meh, because he himself was Roman.
To VIVISECTVID86: 1000% agree. Nothing more to really add. Hail to the gods!
ThorsShadow >respecting women's chastity, being monogamous and treating women like goddesses
Yeah, he was totally making them look barbaric. He wasn't even a Christian, either. He was the least bias source we have of Germanic tribes lifestyles.
Here's some etymology for you: "Krig" means war in Norwegian, and "galdr" could best be translated as "spell song." So Krigsgaldr is a magic war song.
spacegoat, the spellcaster of war would be it i think a more clear conception of the title. war-caster is it quite transliterated actually.
That sounds much cooler, actually.
"Spell song" or galdr is correct, but probably would better be translated as "incantation"
@@IeuroI I like war-caster. It could also be war-incantation. I know Galdr is incantational magic. What I'm not sure about (seeing as I actually don't speak any of the Scandinavian languages) is whether galdr here is used for an incantation or a person doing the incantation. Would be interested to know.
@spacegoat ... Awesome man!! Love it..!!
The voice technique and handmade instruments are amazing. This is the music of the human race before the last 5000 years. The very first music made with nothing but vocal chords and banging things together.
That was very nice to watch. You're the proof that Christians don't need to be discriminating with other peoples, and your comments on the musics are very open-minded, I appreciate that ☺️
Also, if you ever come across Heilung again, try the music Othan, it's very beautiful (and my personal favourite)
Cheers
Not every christian discriminate and not every christian scare with hell i'm Deist and i do not support reverse revenge regardless of whether you are pagan or christian do your thing but don't destroy western civilization.
Most so-called Christians aren’t Christ like at all. Number 1 thing they do wrong is celebrate Christmas and Easter, both of which are pagan holidays. The problem with most organized religions is is they have become a business and do not practice at all what they preach. I’m not a practicing Christina but I do believe in the Christian God and his Son. I believe that I am a flawed human being and that I am in no position to judge anyone and that I should treat everyone the way I want to be treated. I don’t look down on people because of what they believe or for anything they do for that matter because I’m not better than anyone. I might not agree with what people do but like I said, I can’t judge anyone.

How to turn Christian into pagan in one easy step... 😁
this needs to get higher.
nope. the roots of Christianity are far far older than celtic, pagan....anything. Christianity is by far the oldest religion even if you don't have concrete proof of just how old. if people actually put the effort into figuring that out and doing the research they could find it.
christianity literally requires a christ. and the christ lived approx 2000 years ago. that's how old it is. the roots are as old as 3,8 M years or so. that's when first wild bacteria appeared.
and I said roots soooo it doesn't matter to you apparently as you are a troll
obvious troll is obvious. I give you that. I don't think that in this case it matters which is older, heathen or christian origins since they were founded separately. Christianity shares its roots with numerous other religions, so it wouldn't be accurate to call it just christian roots. But in the ancient times when roman people nailed jewish people onto crosses and worshipped planets, here up north there actually were people poking each other with sticks and worshipping whatever they feared at the moment. Nobody was there to tell them about christian roots, therefore amongst nothern folks pagan beliefs were long before any of that christian stuff -- or anything related to its roots. We were not that organized and this happened more locally.
This video is gold: not only for the reaction of the music, but for the jurney we had inside your mind. I loved the lyric red word by word and the analysis of it.
The very first time that I heard her voice, I got instant goosebumps. Like, all over my body. Heilung is absolutely magical. Not the kind of music that I listen to normally, but I fell in love with their music. I use it to relax and meditate. It's really hard to describe what their music make me feel like. But it's definitely out of this world. I really appreciate this reaction video though, thank you so much, I enjoyed it a lot!
The band is from Denmark, not Norway, though they have Danish, Norwegian, and German members. Denmark also does have a similar culture to Norway of course, both being Scandinavian countries and they were once arguably one kingdom from the 1500's until early 1800's I believe. The name Heilung is actually German, for "Healing." Krigsgaldr means War Magic, Krig being "War" in Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish, (and Krieg in German, which is practically the same word) I guess Galdr is magic in Old Norse, I personally haven't encountered the word in Norwegian. The lyrics (non-english ones) to this song are in Old Norse, not Norwegian. Of course Norwegian comes from it but it is a separate language. It'd be a similar equivalent to Old English or Old Church Slavonic for example (speaking of which, I hope you'll listen to Batushka soon)
Silver Зимова The chorus is a phonetic reading of part of a Proto-Norse inscription on a gravestone, predating Old Norse by several centuries. Also, don’t forget Cnut the Great.
FairsleyDifference that makes sense. The internet told me Old Norse, and I wouldn't know the difference well enough myself. And yes that's true, so even farther back than the 1500's
Silver Зимова well said people!
Silver Зимова are you sure krigsaldr doesn't mean the Era of war, because it does mean that in Norwegian
Krig = War, Galdr = Spell or incantation. I think the more accurate translation would be "war ritual". Galdr is a form of magic. Seidh is also at type of magic from the Norse. Galdr deals more in sound and forms and ritual. The use of runic staves and inscriptions fall into the Galdr type.
Seidh is generally described as "feminine magic".
We should praise our own cultivate and hold high our once proud native Americans! Their music is very similar.
Great song.

@VinAnd Sori Heilung consists of Danish and German musicians paying homage to their pagan past in times prior to the Christian missionaries setting out to spread the plague of the holy trinity. You should react to "Alfadhirhaiti" by this band.
SargonnasIncarnate AGREED!!
Agreed. Sori may find Alfadhirhaiti to have the more heavy male vocals she was looking for.
The main trio in the group is Swedish, Danish and the female vocal is Norwegian.
the tattoo guy and main vocalist (throat singer) and shaman is German
David Orvik the female vocalists is Maria Franz and she is German.
I have been dying to find someone reacting to this! Came up on my recommendation list and fell in love.
You guys became my favorite reaction channel just because you did this song......amazing
Heilung’s theme is not Viking or Norse, It is old Germanic from central Europe such as Germanic Paganism as Wotan the supreme God which are way much older than Viking pantheon, at least one thousand years before Viking era. in some parts they sing in Ancient Germanic language that written in Runes on stones. glad you guys reacted to Heilung.
The Norse is Germanic and forget about central Europe, the core of the Germanic came from the North Europe including today's Germany and Poland. Wotan=Odin, didn't you even know that? Old Norse = GERMANIC. Do some studying before commenting such stupid things, please.
pelle oh Before insult me like that first read my comment carefully. I did not say “Norse is not Germanic”, I said Heilung do not have Viking/Norse influence, Old Germanic Paganism is the influence they use. I did not talk about history or mythology, I was talking about the music and the theme. Central Europe I meant greater Germany and part of western and eastern Europe, The tribes who settled in these parts as Alemanni, Suebi, Burgundians, Juthungi, Segni, Ubii and many more.
The part Maria sings here is from the Eggja stone found in... Norway. Pretty much every Germanic tribe you can think of migrated from Scandinavia during climatic changes that started about a hundred years before Christ and culiminated in the Migration Period where a flood of people descended from the north to fill the vacuum of the now fallen Roman Empire(Where the goths, from Gotland in Sweden, played a role).
Beowulf takes place in Sweden but is today considered the British national epic, Rome was ruled for 200 years by people originally from Denmark, the Lombards. Ukraine and Russia had the Kievan Kahagnate and later the Varangians, from western Norway. Theres a county in Norway called Varanger to this day. The Viking age was the second or possibly even third such wave of expansion from the Nordic countries.
@@pelleoh Heilung is sounds from the northern european iron age and viking period. We used everything from running water, human bones, reconstructed swords and shields up to ancient frame drums and bronze rings in the songs. The lyrics contain original texts from rune stones and preserved spear shafts, amulets and other artifacts. Furthermore poems, which either deal with historical events or are translations/ interpretations of the originals. Every attempt to link the music to modern political or religious points are pointless, since Heilung tries to connect the listener to the time before Christianity and its political offsprings raped and burned itself into the northern european mentality. Heilung means healing in german and describes the core of the sound. It is supposed to leave the listener eased and relaxed after a sometimes turbulent musical journey.
So its not scandinavian, its protogermanic mate, dont try to own it.
The term “Viking” always bothered me. It was a name given by the christians.
Today’s society viewed the old Norse as terrible, marauding, raping, pillaging heathens which couldn’t be further from the truth. They were explorers, innovators, cunning and smart. They traded with almost everyone they came across, including the Native Americans, Middle-Easterners, parts of Asia etc. (and yes, if they didn’t want to trade with the Norseman then they would just take what they wanted).
The Brits were perplexed due to the cleanliness of them because they bathed once a weak, combing and styling their hair and beards. Brits were lucky to bath once a month!
They’re quite possibly histories most misunderstood people.
Very well said my friend.
"It was a name given by the christians."
Like godless heathens.
Delving into the history of this stuff, it seemed christians adopted what they liked as their own, and discredited or eliminated the rest.
although the christians had an intolerant history, and largely seemed to erase european culture both positive and negative.. I wouldn't exactly put the norse on too much of a pedestal. As ibn fadlan had witnessed, they were quite violent in their funeral procedures.. when a chief died, a bunch of men took a slave girl and had their way with her next to his rotting body on his ship, then the angel of death stabbed her while they strangled her.. I'm not exactly sure what the whole roots movement does with stuff like that
Part of it also was the age they lived in. It seems like ethics and morals were in short supply all around.
Actually heathen were given to cristo-pagans. To later include anyone not willing to submit. Where most saw it as unable to be christian and "clean" Which is funny as the volk were renown to be the cleanest of the standards. As well as Traders and pathfinder prior to their need to flex their muscles against invasion and competition.
Lots of history lost and rewritten.
No different than the willing women wanting to go with them calling it raping and pilligaing. With them hitting the Christians the most as they saw them as prostrating slaves with masters, owning such bountiful lands and not deserving.
We really enjoyed listening to your deep analysis of this. You both have very intelligent minds and great knowledge about history which you surprised Us for not being average...
Like how you guys listened to the complete song without constantly interrupting. Nice take! Thanks.
I love these guys! I have watched this video from them a couple of times!
Scandinavian pride. Skäl!!! I love my culture and heratige. The style of his vocals is called throat singing. Its traditional vocalization. Along with the mongolians who use the same singing style.
Throat singing is not traditional in Scandinavia. Lead figure Kai Uwe Faust has said he's music is inspired by Tibetan and Tuvan throat singing, but we Scandinavians never used it before. Maybe the Sami people did, as there are some traces in modern Sami artists such as Torgeir Vassvik.

Blood and Heir to Futhark !! RH Negative ! Throat singing is a bit more wide spread than two groups. Its also following the sun worship legacy.
I think some merchant from the days when the islamic world traded with the vikings mentioned something about how they sang... something about it being fiercer than wild animals, I wonder what he was talking about
So the Vikings never raped and burned Christians? Dumbass. Just enjoy the tunes and don't be a dick.
This is awesome. And that deep drum? Love it.

Simon Harris I keep seeing that one too alongside draconian
Norwegian here, regarding your question of the peaceful farmer vs warrior culture. During the bronze age Europe was warmer, and Scandinavia too. Coinciding with the peak of the roman empire Scandinavia suffered climatic changes, turning colder(eventually leading to three full years of no summer in the 6'th century, which became the Migration Era as people moved to find food and fertile land, also google wiki "Fimbulwinter" to see how this entered norse religion).
Therefore a rather large population could be supported through farming. When the ancient greek explorer Pytheas visited Norway 400 years before Christ he wrote: "The people live on millet and other herbs, and on fruits and roots; and where there are grain and honey, the people get their beverage, also, from them. " Millet can't grow in Norway today, it requires a far warmer climate. He also makes no remark about war or conflict amongst the nordics.
As things grew cold, and hunger and wars over resources spread people started fleeing south, clashing with countless other tribes in northern and central Europe, and encountering the Roman Empire(and eventually sacking and burning Rome itself).
They were driven by, as the rune Naudiz explains:
Nauðr gerer næppa koste;
nøktan kælr í froste.
"Constraint gives scant choice;
a naked man is chilled by the frost."
So, here lies the birth of the warrior culture. From a peaceful peninsula far from the wars of the mediterranean cultures, bursting with food and natural resources in one generation, to cold, hunger and war in the next. Migrations south became cyclical, happening every few hundred years following climate variations, where whole tribes of tens of thousands of people left Scandinavia and went into Europe to carve out a land for their own. The Ostro and Westro-Goths, Vandals, Saxons, Lombardi, Rus, The Kievan Kahagnate, Varangians, all came from Scandinavia, mostly Sweden and Denmark. Whenever you see Germanic tribe in literature read it as "Scandinavian tribe that went south into Europe". But Europe was of course already populated, and war followed.
War became huge in the Germanic/Nordic/Norse mythology and culture as a result.
I think Kvenland existed back in the time he visited northern europe, so I would assume there is no infighting when everyone is ruled by one king, they were also considered giants but I suppose it used to have different meaning than just enormous man, might have been a man of greatness or something to be revered and feared as well. later becoming a myth of giants as we know them today. thats pretty much how it went in finland, so called Sons of Äijö, they were men who were taught of as giants and then they became myths of enormous men.
Quality comment. Thanks, answered a few questions I have had as a learner of history.
This gives me some serious goosebumps. It is as if it is tapping into my own spirit. Absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing
"Certain groups can be proud of their heritage and certain groups can't", is pretty accurate.
The reason for it, is slavery, the east indian company, etc.But Heilung sings of era's way before that. In my opinion, Heilung attepts to show, and tries to make us appreciate the history of man, not just Germanic man. Heilung tries to remove barriers, because it taps into something ancient in all of us. A connection with nature. An appreciation for nature. For all it's deer. It's boar. it's fish. It's herbs, mushrooms and fruit. If our very ancient forefathers weren't able to make it, then you and I wouldn't have been writing all this bullshit :)

Since Castlefest, I been listening to Heilung's entire set everyday. It IS very emotional to listen to because the lyrics are very poetic and sacred. A thousand times watched and I think I never realized there was a laptop on stage. It's the flip side to Wardruna which is equally emotional and sacred within all roots of culture that coexisted within a tribe. That's what WE miss that is instilled in us through blood ancestors. That's why we are emotional about it.

best review of this song ever.. you all are awesome
I'm glad you two watched and reacted to Heilung, they are one of my favorite groups. I love your feedback of them. I am proud of my Norweigan/Scandinavan/Norseman heritage, so much so I have embraced my ancestor's faith in the old orginial Gods and Goddesses and I think everyone should be proud and take pride in their heritage and culture. I thank you for your reaction. I recommend you two react to a band similar to Heilung, they are called Skald, I also love them and I think you will enjoy them
Skald is old Norse for POET
First video from this channel I have ever watched. Vin, I appreciate your view on this beyond anything you could imagine. You didn't assume any "racism" and that means everything to me in a world that is increasingly going mad. Stating that EVERYONE should be proud of their heritage is nothing less than pure truth. Your ability to appreciate the roots of this culture touches my heart. PS... the parallel between the lyrics and the part in Revelations that mentions the sword that comes forth from Jesus' mouth... man, you blew my mind! Thanks dude.
I think you guys would gain a lot of understanding of northern pagan cultures by 1.) Pick up a copy of any collection of Norse mythology and 2.) Understand that the pagan worldview is circular: a perpetual cycle of life, death and rebirth. Ragnarok is not the end of all, and the after life is not exactly a permanent state for everyone, but rather an ending that ushers in a new cosmic beginning. One telling says that a few select gods survive and brings new mortals....to a garden. The Abrahamic view of existence is much more linear. Lines don't exist in nature, so our ancestors, who often believed that the divine manifests itself fully in nature, didn't view things in a linear way when you go far enough back in our history. May that help in further understanding meopagan/pagan sentiments in black metal and folk metal adjacent song reactions.
I think if you studied traditional Christian beliefs rather than the new, watered-down version of Christianity, you will find that Christianity is circular to some degree, as well. God created the entire Cosmos in perfect unity with Him, but mankind used his freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, and that union was destroyed. God, in His mercy, sent His Son to redeem mankind and thereby bring the Cosmos back to the Garden of Eden. The difference is that, instead of the cycle endlessly repeating, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end to the story. However, the story does end with "And they all lived happily ever after." The afterlife is a life, but it is the perfected version of this one.
In old Finnish tradition souls circulated. When baby was born and time to give a name arrived, old ancestors names were said until the baby seemed to calm down or smile during some name. That meant that the soul of that particular ancestor had set to the body, and thus that name was given. The souls lived in the underworld called Tuonela. If a person experienced a trauma, the person's soul could escape the body back to Tuonela and the person would get depressed and lose will to live. It was a job of a shaman to go to the underworld and persuade the soul to return to the body.
It’s a metaphor, a simile, a lesson to be learned. Kudos to you, really appreciated your appreciation of this music - love music that opens up discussion and conversation and understanding like this!
This song was about the spread of Christianity at the edge of a sword to covert the Norse and Germanic peoples!! The gruff male voices are a form of magical chatting know as "Galdr" roughly meaning "to crow". In the Norse and Germanic cultures, sounds of word possessed magical power, and chats were written in kennings, a compound expression in Old English and Old Norse poetry with metaphorical meanings!! In the title of the song, the word "Galdr" is present, "Krigsgaldr".
So is the Krig in Krigsgaldr an earlier version of the German word 'krieg' which would give the full word a similar meaning to war-chant.
@@LeeRaldarIt's from Middle Low German "krigen".
But the full word wouldn't be quite "war-chant", it would be closer to "magical song of war", or "spell of war". A Galdr was initially a song of magic, but was later used for magic in general. At least I think so? Not hugely familiar with it, but I am Norwegian, and have heard a fair bit about Norse/Germanic mythology growing up.
@@magnus2544 Thanks for expanding upon the meaning, I am fascinated by the music of Heilung and it is good to know more of what they are saying.
@@LeeRaldar EXACTLYYYYYYYYYYY MAN!, you got it right!
It could also be interpreted as "war warding". A galdr isn't necessarily something to be said to affect a change in the world but also as protection against external forces.
For a neo folk Scandinavian band Heilung is ranked as one of the best. Their traditional with some neo twists. But they are truly amazing and touch my Scandinavian soul.
Interesting song! Not at all metal (well in the strictest definition, but its metal as fuck in spirit) , but some pretty incredible folk music nonetheless. 9.5/10 for me.
Everyone wants their song picked, but to me its stuff like this where I hear stuff I've never heard before, that I find the greatest joy.
Also the daily reminder about Wintersun-Loneliness (Winter).
How I missed this reaction I don’t know but now it’s one of my favorite reactions you’ve done. I love the way you think about things Vin. I’d be happy to have someone like you to talk to about philosophy, I’ve only had two friends that could philosophize with me and one was a Christian that moved away and the other was an Atheist who passed away last year due to cancer. I feel isolated on an island of my own ideas these days.
Heilung gives me life. They place my heart and mind into a beautiful fiction. It calms and motivates me. 😊❤️
