Lyrics: The Way to Hel
I sought the songs
I sent the songs
when the deepest well
offered drops so mighty
of Valfather’s pledge
I know it all, Odin
where you hid your eye
Who will sing me
in the death-sleep sling me
when I walk the road to Hel
and the tracks I tread
are cold, so cold
Early or in fading day
still the raven knows if I fall
When you stand by the gate of Hel
and when you must tear loose
follow you I shall
across the bridge of Gjöll with my song
You become free from the bonds that bind you
You are free from the bonds that bound you
Show Wardruna some love: / @wardruna

If you haven't seen this version this was done using the rock walls for amplification Wardruna W/ Aurora Helvegen ua-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/v-deo.html enjoy. and I love your break downs of the music absolutely amazing.
I’ve watched this reaction a few times and this is the first time I heard you reference Runefest! Always good to come across another mature player 😊
Elizabeth, I get so emotional watching your videos, they get me through some tough times. I’ve seen your commentary on Wardruna and Heilung, but I have to recommend The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra by Anna Von Hausswolf, her vocals are haunting and I know you’d be blown away.
Old Norse, like all ancient Germanic cultures, was strongly influenced by ancestral shamanic practices and beliefs. Wardruna gives an expert interpretation of the language, spirituality, and creed of the Old Norse
Wardruna are also from Hordland.
My favorite comment I've ever saw for this song.
"This makes me home sick for a place I've never been."
that is how I feel almost always when I'm listening to her music
I've seen this comment.
Wow fantastic comment, makes so much sence ❤️
That comment makes soooo much sense
This comment seems a bit "worn out" since its used under many nordic / celtic songs.
I am native american, and when the 6:39 mark hits, where the song branches between the men's voice and the higher female's voice, it reminds me of out songs. Ancient, tribal music across the world is both beautiful and powerful. There is a purpose to each song and how it is sung. There is a depth of identity and our roots that are lost in music today.
All tribal music is amazing and beautiful! ❤
We are all one people but with different stories.
We have Ásatrú that is Asceticism here in Iceland, from the Vikings but lots of the Culture and traditions are lost due to the Sacred Christian Holier Than Thou attitude.
I’m coming across this 3 years later, but by now I’m hoping you’ve discovered Heilung. Another Norse project with a reverence for First Nations people like us.
I am German, with extensive roots in the Viking Empire (Denmark). This music touches my innermost being... it points me to the ancient traces of my people... They made us what we are today!
My deep respect goes to the ancient inhabitants of America!
"...which appeals to my Dungeons and Dragons sensibilities."
You really are just the best person.
Just like Christianity for MY GoT sensibilities! 🙄
The seed - Aurora is proof she is a forest fairy
She's so pure it would hard to believe that she's not a virgin, I don't think I'd be able to
@@HerrenGamingNews what is wrong with you
@@abidethedudeski2307 I was extremely high last night but still I love her voice
@@HerrenGamingNews ur a weirdo bud.
@@HerrenGamingNews lol
You should definitely listen to more Aurora, she's a control genius
Metalhead here....I completely dig Aurora! She’s amazing to listen to, and to watch. Such a phenomenal artist! Love Wardruna, also.
She really is. She is a master !
I’m surprised a vocal coach hasn’t done more on her but I know there’s so much out there but she really is a master.
Aurora did "Teardrop" cover and this is masterpiece!
Infections of A Different Kind is absolutely heartbreaking.
tv.nrk.no/serie/haik/sesong/1/episode/4/avspiller#t=5m59s
Aurora’s singing is the very essence of the word “pure.”
You should check out Eivor as well ;)
Pure as fresh ice on a mountain, and just as chilling.
She has a very child-like vibe to her, not necessarily in the sense that she’s immature, more innocent and chaotic I guess? And that works into her singing and stage presence
This is Wardruna's best known song and one of it's best performances with Aurora. I was lucky enough to witness one of the first times it was sung in 2012 during Castlest in the Netherlands. It was during the evening with crows flying of a great oaktree under a full moon with the starting of the drum. It was mesmerizing and sacral. A lot of wassailing afterwards. Skål to Wardruna!
I so regret not seeing Heilung at castle fest for their Lifa show, that show sounded god tier.
That is so cool! I wish I would have been there. It pleases me to know you were able to experience such profound music, lyrics, and just an excellent experience all the way around. Wardruna and Aurora have a great duo voice.
That sounds epic! I’ve been a fan for little over a year now and have always wanted to see them live.
That show at castlefest was my first introduction to Wardruna, I didn't know them yet and was very skeptical. The whole show I just stood there in awe and afterward, it felt like I had really witnessed something intensely profound and sacred, for lack of better words. Somehow Wardruna's shows feel like one big ceremony....
I just watched them yesterday, absolut amazing live experience.
Being Norwegian knowing the lyrics and almost feeling a kind of nationalistic feel towards the Viking ages, this feeling of mythical power and longing back to these times are even more strengthened.
I’m from Gotland, the island in the middle of the Baltic Sea. And I got spooked by the familiar words that occasionally sounded spot on how the elder generation talked. I miss my grandmother and grandfather so much. I miss the ocean storms and the stones shaped like gigantic pillars
I figured it was Norwegian but I wasn’t sure if if it was Old Norse. I speak English but also learnt old English (before French changed English) so I was surprised that I could understand about 60% of what they were singing.
@@GeographRick most of the song is actually in (a somewhat archaic, true, but still not old norse) "nynorsk". Nynorsk is one of two written forms used in Norway today. Nynorsk is used by approx 10% of the population and is somewhat closer to the original Norwegian than the other written form ("bokmål") used but approx 90 %, which is essentially a 'norwegianized' form of danish.
The last part - the verses on the end after the drumplayer has finished is indeed Old Norse. It is some stanzas (verses, no 76+77) from the "Håvamål" collection of poetry, probably created approx 700-900 AD most likely in Norway, and written down first in Iceland late 12th century.

Are you high?
You should allways feel pride in your history.
You are decendent of Vikings.
Many are jealous of that. Remember that.
Einar Selvig is incredible. Aurora is incredible. Them together makes me a puddle of emotion...I feel like my soul has found home.
Lindy is amazing too. I saw Wardruna live a couple years back and she blew me away as well.
you are not alone 🙏
Einar Selvik*
Many metal heads love Aurora. Everyone who stops for a second and listens to her are taken on a journey. Her ability to breath every song she sings - to become the story... She is so healing to listen to. And Wardruna... oh my. I had the pleasure to hear them live before the pandemic broke and for the whole concert I cried and cried. I've never done that. But it was different kind of crying, it felt easy, like the music was purifying past unwanted emotions. It touches so deeply. The message, the drumming, the lyrics even when you can't understand them, it all feels so profound.
I became a fan of her in like five seconds just from watching an interview, had no idea who she was, just a random youtube recommendation. She reminded me of Björk.
I love her, you´re right :D and Einar ufff ♥
I've been a metalhead for 20 years (two thirds of my life) and I LOVE Aurora. Her voice is simply amazing and I find her music aids in relaxing. She's also gorgeous and a unique spirit.
I'm a brown Asian metalhead drummer guy.
This song, especially with Aurora is something else. Its so strange but everytime I listen to it, I just tear up.
It's hauntingly beautiful. Aurora is definitely some elvish mystical being. She just adds so much to this song I almost wish she and Wardruna just keep working together. I can absolutely listen to thousands of songs like this. It's so bloody good.
At this point, I've listened to it thousands of times and that's not counting the times I just put it on replay for 2 hours as I fall asleep.
And your reaction is the best. You really let the song engulf you. BTW it only gets better when you read the lyrics. Makes me wanna worship Odin. Also very strange coz I'm an ex Muslim atheist. Lol.
The last part he performs goes something like this:
Cattle die, kinsmen die
You yourself will also die
But the word about you will never die
If you win a good reputation
Cattle die, kinsmen die
You yourself will also die
I know one thing that never dies
The reputation of those who died
These are verses from Håvamål (the speach of the high-or the speach of Odin)
WARDRUNA.....AURORA.....HEILUNG....SKÁLD....Eivør Pálsdóttir.....Kati Rán....so much MINDBLOWING New Artists to Discover for you !!!
I second HEILUNG.
I second SKÁLD! Especially their recent songs like Fimbulvetr.
You forgot Sowulo, Danheim, Nytt Land and Osi and the Jupiter
Don't forget Gealdýr
Heilung!
My brother sang this song in my mother’s funeral when he was 18. It’s become one of my favorite song even though it rippes my heartstrings every time
When I discovered this song for the first time I got full body shivers and started crying. It was as if I subconsciously remembered a different life I missed dearly.
This song, especially this version....I can’t listen to without tearing up when einar hits that high belt....his voice (even though it’s not that high) has such an otherworldly timbre, it blows my mind
Yes , I describe that sensation as a « Cosmic Orgasm of the eardrums » personally…🤣😂 not many voices can bring me there but when it comes to Einar’s voice , I think it’s accurate enough !
@@SakiBlablabla There is exactly four people I can think of that give me that feeling. Einar Selvik, Aurora, as well as Maria Franz and Kai Faust from Heilung.
HELVEGEN translation.
Who shall sing me,
Into deathsleep sling me,
When I on the path to Hel go,
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold.
I sought the songs,
I sent the songs.
Then the deepest well
Gave me tears so harsh
From the Slain-father's[1] pledge.
I know everything, Odin,
To whom you gave your eye.
Who shall sing me,
Into deathsleep sling me,
Whence I on the path to Hel go,
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold.
Early or in the day's end,
The raven still knows if I fall.
Once you stand at the gate to Hel
And when you have to tear free,
I shall follow you
Over Gjallarbrú[2] with my song.
You will be free from the bonds that bind you,
You are free from the bonds that bound you!
"Cattle die,
Friends die,
So, too, must you die.
Though one thing
Never dies;
The fair fame one has earned.
Cattle die,
Friends die,
So, too, must you die.
I know one,
That never dies;
Judgement of a dead man's life."[3]
Thx!
Yes it’s true you can kill a man but you can never kill his reputation and his honour and I think to the Vikings honour had an almost supernatural meaning which would bestow luck and good fortitude to those in the dead mans family when they fought in battles.
From a time back when Gods cared about how people behaved instead of what they believed.
Third verse untranslated sounds like a reference to the Norne - who weave the threads of each life into a tapestry, who decides when to...cut each thread. the translation - while good - lost that part.
Not quite, but close enough
You would love Eivør Pálsdóttir - Trøllabundin!
This!
Yes yes yes!
OMG yes this
OMG YES
This song is otherworldly and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.
When your history has been erased, anything resembling it becomes profound. Sometimes, even while enjoying these pieces, I get sad. Like something's missing.
😭😍❤
That's pretty deep. Well said.
@@diofelles Unfortunately it was erased in many ways - yes, to a certain extent it was never written down (runes were not used in manuscripts, as the Germanic tradition was largely oral), but in the forcible conversion of the Germanic Heathens to Christianity that really took off in 1100 A.D., a lot of the mythology and culture was lost or twisted. (I’m Reconstructionist Heathen - trying to follow the footsteps of my ancestors as best I can, and researching what was originally part of the religion and what was put there later as a result of Christian influence).
@@cy-wren2430 Christianity was only partly brought by force. At the battle of Stiklestad, Christians and heathens were in both camps. Btw, do you think the Norse gods were introduced totally peacefully? Also, they are more Germanic than Norse, Anglo-Saxons and original Saxons worshipped them too.
@@Henrik46 Yes, you’re right - I have amended my reply to say “Germanic” instead of “Norse”.
No, they probably weren’t introduced peacefully, this is true. But you can’t say “these people also did bad things!” to excuse the bad things you’re doing. That would be like saying “the Jews lost us the war and are responsible for us being poor!” while putting them in gas chambers...wasn’t there someone else that did that at one point?
It took less than a century for the Scandinavian countries to be fully converted through the Christianisation of the kings, who then forced it on the rest of their countries. I would like to point you particularly toward Olaf I of Norway, who tortured and killed pagans and destroyed their temples (as an example - there were more peaceful, insidious conversions as well).
I am a reconstructionist Heathen, which means that I take everything Snorri has written with a grain of salt. Stiklarstadir has been uncovered as a way for the Church to make the legend of Saint Olaf more impressive (he must have fallen in a battle for Christianity), rather than what actually happened. It is more likely, according to historical sources, that Olaf’s party consisted of his central guard and a few people who joined along the way. The other side were UNTRAINED FARMERS. Stiklarstadir is far less about the epic battle Snorri’s saga - it is an excellent study into the propaganda methods of the time surrounding those who have been given sainthood. There is also no evidence of any battleground at Stiklestad, only a couple of residences.
I saw Wardruna in Norway, near a recostruction of a viking longhouse. It was my best experience. ❤
I once met Einar at a show in Stockholm and he is one of the nicest guys ever!
I met him in York. At the Viking festival 3 years ago and he explained how and why he is doing the music he does!. Amazing chat.
@pnicolai basically that he is intrigued by anciend norke music and he is fascinated by sounds of nature. He use to go to the forest and record different sounds. (How a south facing birch sounds differently than a north faced one... the waterfalls, thunders, etc) you would provably notice in wardruna's records....
The version where they sing this in a cave is breathtaking. The chills of the natural resonance of the cave with these songs...just wow!
Oh, I was there, it was so powerful ❤
I'll never forget the first time I listened to this song. My life changed forever.
Einar is truly my favorite singer. I love nothing more than to listen to him singing along with his lyre or drum and nothing else in the background. No band, no additional instruments. He's a genius.
Also, it's very common for him to drum on a piece of wood and incorporate natural sounds into the music.
This music just makes me cry, can't help it. Goes straight to your soul.
This is my favorite version of Helvegen - Einar and Aurora are so good together. You should try out Einars solo performances, they are just so wonderful - much more intimate, it's mostly him and his lyra and nyckelharpa (and he is so passionate about his music and instruments)
There is also this version of them performing together. ua-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/v-deo.html
Your excitement to all parts of the music brings me joy. I was thinking about how it seems like Aurora was trying really hard to restrain her hand movements by grabbing the microphone a lot. She is so so expressive when she performs. I would really enjoy seeing you listen more more Aurora. It would be fun to watch someone fall in love with her as so many have.
Thanks, Dana Walsh!
"When you are on the road to hell, show your bravery." And the end is one of the most famous norse poems "Cattle dies, friends dies, and you yourself dies, but one thing never dies, your name". (ratutation)
Aurora's voice gives me goosebumps from head to toe, every time!
Who shall sing me,
Into deathsleep sling me,
When I on the path to Hel go,
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold.
I sought the songs,
I sent the songs.
Then the deepest well
Gave me tears so harsh
From the Slain-father's1 pledge.
I know everything, Odin,
To whom you gave your eye.
Who shall sing me,
Into deathsleep sling me,
Whence I on the path to Hel go,
And this track I tread
Is cold, so cold, so cold.
Early or in the day's end,
The raven still knows if I fall.
Once you stand at the gate to Hel
And when you have to tear free,
I shall follow you
Over Gjallarbrú2 with my song.
You will be free from the bonds that bind you,
You are free from the bonds that bound you!
"Cattle die,

Cattle die,

So, too, must you die.
I know one,
That never dies;
Judgement of a dead man's life.
Selvik's performance on "The Vikings Suite" by Trevor Morris is pretty awesome as well.
There’s a beautiful thing to be found within traditional music that I feel a lot of people miss. It is beautiful and the sounds create a story and emotions you never knew you had. But when it comes to music like this, it’s the POWER that strikes me. Music like this reminds us of who we once were and gives us almost a sense of mourning for what humanity has lost these days. So much love for this band and Aurora and for what they bring back into this world
This song is absolutely unreal. On the show Vikings it was at its utmost appropriate.
Also Aurora and Einar/Wardruna are from the same city/area of Norway.
Bergen! Living here at the moment. So glad more people are experiencing Aurora/Einar Selvig/Wardruna. A lot of amazing stuff!

Whoa, you haven’t heard Aurora outside of Frozen? She’s an ethereal anomaly. An elven angel. Please, PLEASE, give her original music a go. Also, Einar has written music for tv series like Vikings, for instance, as well as some others. He’s the go to guy for authentic viking music in a lot of tv and film.
TRUE!!
this is why we play and listen to world music from all lands and cultures........remember our ancestors....the song is about the journey to the Viking afterlife ( "Hel" - NOT the Christian Hell" ) and recalling all the people and events that preceded our lives........all things must die, but our reputations live on.......I think the horn is an ancient "Lur"........"too much amazing" is right on !
Christian hell comes from the name Hel. The name "HELL" was first prounounced in KJV in the 17th century version of the bible. Demonitizing the deathrealm of the aeisir believers, Helheim.
But it ain't the first time. In later texts Hades was mentioned and demonitized, deathrealm of the ancient greek beliefs.
Another example are the demon they call Leviathan. In old jewish mythology it was a sea serpent that protected the ocean, but not only that. The seamen that praised the sea serpent was protected from bad accidents when they where at sea. Like greek's mythological Poseidon.
So yeah, christians took all gods that was praised for protection and demonotized them in the bible.
"Yeah, but you got hell in earlier texts as well." christians yells. Yeah, but not the word HELL itself, it was Hades, Sheol, Gehenna, Tartarus. But no hell in it self.
Gehenna was not a place underneath earth do. It was a valley where crippled people, unwanted children and sick people was burned alive. A place on earth that Jesus saw. But he didn't call it hell. Gehenna itself means wall of fire. The real place that was later called Gehenna are Hinnomvalley.
there's a live version of this song on YT, singing outside on a cliff face, the song sounds better, plus you can turn on the CC for the translation for the words...
ua-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/v-deo.html I believe this is the one you're looking for
I can't see/listen to that video, they are awesome No doubt.
But I get so fucking irritated on that stupid idiot in the crowd who starts to talk with the girl filming!!
WHEN THEY ARE SINGING!!!!
I guess it's that video, I'am not going to look if it is.... 😠
Yes, that one is my favorite! 🖤
*THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!*
oops hit button to soon.
Just wanted to say I've been trying to find this for months
Aurora has one of the best live voices and she's a great song writer. I'm more of a metal, stoner rock, prog, experimental kind of guy but I really dig Aurora. My wife teases me about it.
She is only jealous 🤣🤣 i am a progrocker fan too. Mostly old stuff though.
Your wife has not taste and you should rid yourself of this negativity. 😂🥰
@@doesyomamaknowtho1468 never said she didn't also like Aurora, just that she finds it odd I do given the contrast to my typical tastes
@@Therap1ssed....don't need that negativity in yo life.
She's like a waterfall 🥰😇
Aurora ❤
I just got home from watching Wardruna live in Glasgow, words can't do justice to how good they are live from the first song to the last you could feel the music flowing thru your body! They are all amazing singers, if you ever get the chance to see them perform you got to go!.
I feel like this song is going to be featured at every Yule festival around the world this year, and rightfully so. I love how the music makes you so emotional as well. Your passion for music is quite inspiring.
So we can officialy start the countdown that lead to Heilung.
She's now on the path that will inevitably lead to Heilung. Can't wait
Either In Maidjan or Krigsgaldr from LIFA at Castlefest would be consummate samples
i dont really get that. its like saying tool is just like rage against the machine
@@Doctor_whom You might not get it, but she did Heilung 2 weeks after my comment :)
ua-cam.com/video/xKKF-B_eYT0/v-deo.html
I love your face when you hear/see beauty.
I lost track of how many times I have listened to this performance. In the last part he switches from song to recital, and he is delivering two stanzas of poetry that many Norwegians will have memorized. It says what remains of you in this world after death.
She did her research, this is my favorite reaction so far. Love this song, this version being my favorite.
A girl i met around 5 years ago got me to listen to Aurora... Needless to say, I was hooked.. Her voice is just so good.
If you haven't listened to it yet there are several song but one that pops into my head right away is " Boy in the Grass"
Also.. Them doing the " tiny desk concert" was pretty cool.. she sounds amazing in any setting it seems lol.
This is such a beautiful song. I have shown SO many people this song to get them both into Wardruna and Aurora.
That gave me goosebumps from the very start, wow. I've heard a lot of Wardruna, but I didn't expect the girl from Frozen to sing like this.
"the girl from frozen" you sweet summer child, please do yourself a favor and listen to Aurora's entire discography which dates back to the early 2010s
Aurora is definitely "too much amazing". Every song of hers takes you on a journey into your very heart and soul. As well, she always disappears into the song she is singing, and takes us with her. She always sings with her whole body. (And she normally sings in English, btw) :) This very performance was actually how I discovered Aurora. And, yes, what a performance. I really like Wardruna's music, as well. It definitely stirs up something ancient and lovely in the blood. And, I agree, the visuals on stage were absolutely outstanding.
I had a thought as you described the 6/8 time signature. Our heart has a three step beat, too. No wonder it has that effect, especially with those drums. (Yes, they use ancient instruments).
Holy shit I didn't think that you'd discover Wardruna this fast.. I'm so FREAKIN EXCITEDDD
And you HAVEEEE to react to Raido next .. It's the most amazing song ever
It might have something to do with me suggesting Wardruna for weeks. ;-) And it surely helps if you can mention a TV show like Vikings in your suggestions.

Raido is my heartsong
Please! Please! Please!
React to Aurora, Through the Eyes of a Child - stripped down version.
Live! All harmonies. All acapella. Definitely, a can't miss it situation! She is so captivating, fascinating to watch during her live performances!
I have seen a lot of reaction vids to this performance and not one has expected to hear what they heard and by the end, had profoundly moving experiences. It's beautiful to watch, tbh.
Your reactions to this are exactly the same as mine when I first heard this song, it's incredible! I've since become completely obsessed with Aurora, she's magical
Eivor - trollabundin, Heilung - Norupo, Skald - run & Brothers of Metal - Yggdrasil ... I'd be happy to see her react to either one of these tbh 🙋❤️
Wlvor one of mybfavorites. Such a beautiful person and a very beariful and somtime hainting voice. Excellent choice.
@@joop558 or Eivor - I tokuni and Heilung - In maidjan
@@Angarato86 í Tokuni is also a really good shout 👌
Ohhhhhh... you should check on AURORA... SHE IS WONDERFUL
Look for: The Seed , or Exist for love, or her latest release secret garden... or humans of a different kind... you will discover a whole new universe
And her performances at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert! Amaziiiiiing.

Wardruna's Einar Selvik is one of my favourite vocalists. Voluspá on the Skald album is something I have listened to countless times.
MORE AURORA!!!!!!!! :) Through the eyes of a child is my favorite.

Yes! Love the fact that you took a look at Wardruna and that you enjoyed it so much!
I‘d STRONGLY recommend that you listen to „Wardruna - Lyfjaberg (Healing Mountain), it shows some more aspects to Einar‘s voice (and yes, the lead singer with the braided beard is him) and it’s certainly one of my favorites!
Much love from Germany, have a wonderful day ❤️
This is a very good suggestion. I'll definitely check this one for you. Thanks Loggosh!
My father´s side is Norwegian and viking decend, I have no words to describe how proud this makes me feel of my heritage. Such a good feeling, like preparing to go to war for a greater cause and a noble death. This really goes through our primal selfs.
Wow, that was cool. I've never heard her/them before. Those drums are hypnotic. I need to hear more. I love your knowledge and your channel.
I really enjoy your reactions! You have the most expressive face. It's truly a joy to watch.
Wardruna's music feels like it's calling me home and I don't have one drop of Scandinavian blood in my veins. If you want to hear more of Aurora I would really recommend It Happened Quiet at the Nidarosdomen. She's one of my favourite artists, too. Such a pure sound.
I'm quite convinced that she is a forest nymph, brought to us as the voice of nature.
This is such a beautiful song, your appreciation for this song made me so happy. Thank you for your reverence for such a timeless piece.
Helvegen being Norse funeral music. This is what is sung when the boat is lit and they're sent to Valhǫll or Fólkvangr.
This is not about anyone going to valhall, but to Helheim. The Vikings who died in or of battle would go to Valhall, but when people died of sickness or old age they would go to Helheim. Helvegen means "Road to Hel.. (Helheim) This song is about honouring the the dying person with their song on their way to the afterlife.
I think it's more a song about facing death. I read that such songs would be sung to the dying to help them pass over.
Actually is to Hellheim
Norse and Scandinavian culture. ...beautiful. beyond.
@@holmis07 but I thought they just went to sovengarde?
Omg this made my day. Its exciting to see that you enjoyed it so much. The best part of this was that you gave the song the respect/appreciation it deserves considering the context. A lot of people are going to say this but In Maidjan by Heilung would be a next great choice to follow up after this. The song is split into three parts and the final third is what will pique your interest the most. Not gonna spoil anything, but I will say it is a song that is to admired and enjoyed for all aspects, the voice, stage, setting, story, atmosphere all of it. Thank you so much for a wonderful reaction it definitely is the highlight of my day 💖
Thank you AurumFlash! It means a lot to me that you like the video.

More Aurora !!
This song cracks my heart open.... It raises the spirit. I don't even know the words, and I don't even need or want to. The vibrations alone are more than enough.
I finally found someone who thoroughly enjoys Wardruna as much as I always have. Blessings to you, Elizabeth 🙏❤🙏
The only song that can make me bawl my eyes out is this one. So happy you checked it out!
Thank you so much for this beautiful reaction ❤ You would love the song 'Voluspa' when Einar Selvik sings with the wolfs. Einar spent 3 blessed and life changing days with the wolfs ❤
I adore how much this moves you. Makes my eyes run every time. So powerful.
Seen most of your videos and somehow missed this one. Thanks for reacting to this! One of my favorite songs.
As people already said here, please check one of the Aurora lives and solos, her voice is to be savored by itself, incredible control!
I love to see you react to more aurora music. I personally think you would enjoy "Through the eyes of a child" live or "It happened quiet" live.
Thank you for choosing this song. Not only is wadruna unbelievable...but Aurora is beyond words !!!! 🌞 They both transport you to a land we all know is running deep in our veins. ...in our souls.
I was fortunate enough to see Wardruna live just a few days ago in Los Angeles, and to see them is an experience, you become fully immersed into the atmosphere that is created around you. Their energy, sound, emotion and connection to the music fully engulfs the audience transporting them to a new place and bringing to that place a peace and warmth that is inequivocal. This song is literally asking, who will sing my song of my death to send me to peace... it's about how life isn't possible without death and death is just an pouring for new life.
You just HAVE to go the path with Aurora!! Its nothing in the world like it🌺❤️🌺 You will LOVE her I promise. 🌞😊
Ég elska Wardruna. And I love seeing people discover this type of old music. Cuts right through to the soul
I've listened to this song at least a thousand of times and I still get goosebumps all over my body
I had the privilege of seeing them perform at Red Rocks. It was no less than a soul-changing experience. If you get the chance, do not pass it up!

ua-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/v-deo.html Subtitled in English. It's really a powerful song in every way, thanks for commenting on it
A spanish artist and god firend of mine ,underrated ua-cam.com/video/_zz4Ry-TWzI/v-deo.html
If you want a similar type of performance and music I would suggest to check out Heilung , buuut I would suggest to react to any of their song aside from Maidjan , for Maidjan has been picked up for the promotion of the upcoming second game in the Hellblade series , so a lot of reaction videos to them are reacting Maidjan which is a bit anti climatic when your a vocal coach who also play games and already know parts of the song.
So I would recommend this one instead Krigsgaldr from their LIFA performance at Castlefest:

Elizabeth I don't ask for much but could you watch this one and maybe react on it?? Lara Fabian Je t'aime

Hey, wasn't planning on asking for a reaction because my shared videos will probably not have other people recommending them. Until, I listened to this guy's voice range! Definitely want your response, doesn't have to be a video, you can respond here.

strange, but I got some "Dead can Dance" vibes here. great song. thank you so much for your passionate aand entertaining expertreaction, elizabeth. bye
I personally get teared up every time i hear this version of the song, especially after reading the translated lyrics. this is such an amazing performance and song.
This is just so great - thank you for sharing something I would otherwise not know about
Oh wow I am so excited for your reaction to this masterpiece. It gave me chills every time I heard it. Best regards from Germany - I love your reaction videos :)
Great reaction and analysis. Please , more Aurora reaction / analysis . You will not be dissappointed .
He has a way to take you on a journey with every song he sings! His honesty and emotion with each syllable is astounding. Would love to see more reactions to Wardruna in the future!
I can't express all the emotions I feel whenever I hear this song. It's amazing.
Please react to more of Aurora. She is incredible. Watch her live performances please!
If you are going to go down the path of Aurora, then an absolute must watch and listen is her live performance of Murder (5,4,3,2,1) from the Nobel Peace Prize concert. You want to talk about emotional and how much she controls that stage during that performance. It's soooo good. Anything from her live is really good.
Yeah, but it is imoprtant that she rea ct to the nobel peace prize (as you said) not the original music video. AURORAS song is as always flawless but the video is not good.
I just watched your video for the first time, I love your reactions. These two together have so much power, they could literally move mountains with their voices. The first time I heard them together I was absolutely floored. Her voice is so soft, yet so powerful, it almost feels like she could reach the heavens if she would let her power flow. I love these two. Thank you for sharing.
It finishes with a poem from the Havamal: Words of the High One
WE NEED MORE AURORA!! plssssss
Yes. Yes. Yes. EINAR.
Thank you so much for putting your voice knowledge to this song! Just watching your facial expressions, gave me that satisfaction that no one feels...or sees. Thank you!
Watching you hear/see these guys for the first time was amazing! Made me relive it all over again. Thanks.
And I like your soot guy
This music is so soothing for the soul. I found myself closing my eyes and drifting off onto an adventure
oooooh my goodness I can't wait for this one, you're gonna enjoy it SO MUCH 🤩
I watched many reactions on Aurora - and especially this performance with Wardruna. It´s absolutely stunning! And I feel your reaction is the best I have watched so far! You are sharing so many great facts, knowledge, feeling and emotions - I am definitely going to watch more reactions I enjoyed it so much!
This performance is just incredible!!!
