This man has an incredible talent- he has managed find the oldest, most beautiful traditions and brought them to light - to then uses his voice to bring out the purest, most ancient parts of our souls. Parts that remain untouched, causing grown men to break into tears and women's hearts flutter. This man needs a million times more recognition then what he has.
Agreed I missed them in mcr UK this year I was gutted so much feeling in his voice sometimes not knowing the words adds to the power and emotion off the song deffo spiritual
@@firstimpressions1703 I'm looking at booking them next year when they return, they're coming to Cambridge, Manchester and London if you hadn't heard :-)
I met Wardruna through my partner. He passed away a year ago and every time I hear Einar I undersantand the reason he was fascinated whit this music. This makes me feel he is near. Greetings and blessings from Mexico 🙏🏽👍🏽
Kind of felt that same way, so being American I did the next best thing and moved to Alaska. That's about the closest you're going to get a Norwegian landscape in America. I wonder around the wilderness and carve the Gods into unalive trees, runes and sorts. Plant new trees, and just become one with nature.
Heed my words, all classes of men You greater and lesser children of Heimdall You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall Of the oldest deeds of gods and men The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea The bright stars fall out of the sky Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds Brothers will fight one another and kill one another Cousins will break peace with one another The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel The wolf will break its bonds and run Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight. Thatched with gold at Gimlé There bold men will dwell And enjoy cheer throughout their lives
@@brandubh11 the translation to english can be found on the original version on Wardruna's account in the info button of Voluspa. It is pretty much the same. Einar took some of the Voluspa from the Prose Edda when Odin speaks to a seer about the future of the Gods and Goddesses of the Aesir and Vanir
His voice and music stir up something deep within me that I cannot explain. It gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. I'm so happy to see that it does this to so many others as well. We are all connected. We are all one. The Great Awakening for humanity is well on its way ❤️
The Völuspa (the lyrics here) is an ancient poem of the story of creation and the end of the world and its rebirth as told to Odin by a völva. Of course it speaks to old souls! 😊
Wardruna is such a primal and deeply human force. But seeing Einar in this modern classical setting only deepens his power. 30 or 40 musicians supported him, and everyone was playing their charge! But he still managed to rise on top and command the attention of the room…
This man holds his ground against a whole choir... Strong voice and great song...He was the perfect choice to participate on the soundtrack of Vikings ...He lifted those series toward Cult level ( Ragnar too , of course or Mr Fimmel)
it's only 4 notes but to play them over and over in time you have to be a machine, and he's singing too... i dont know why i find that more impressive than someone shredding.
I can't feel anything else other than an immense sense of proudness for him. There is no way he started Wardruna expecting how big it would become. Sixteen million views on Lyfjaberg and I'm still in shock about it. He really has made the gods proud.
Einar Salvik, when he performs, his voice is like an intrenched & very familiar echo that reaches into the core of my soul. To me it feels like a call to come home.
Damn...I just cannot truly understand how awesome Einar is. To think this is the same guy who used to be Gorgoroth’s drummer hahaha!! Wardruna’s music is one of the main reasons to be alive. So stoked to have yet one more version of this song. That makes four. Skål everyone!
Some of the orchestral musicians looked like they were struggling to remain composed...like they were ready to let out tears of joy at any second. The abrupt ending left me with a sensation of flight over snow capped mountains and acres of forest.
I'm just speechless. This song has always been a favorite of mine. The orchestra and the passion in your vocals just elevated it. Chills, tears and joy. Thank you so much for your beautiful music ❤️❤️❤️
Det är väldigt roligt för mig att efterkommande av människor som försöker förstöra vår religion , folksånger och epics älskar och äger våra låtar , vår religion och vår historia med stor beundran . Einar ❤️
Without ochestra this song is so damn epic, but the genius Einar Selvik found a way to make it even more epic !! Thanks a lot Einar for being such a great musician !!!
Breaking my soul for pieces ewrytime i hearing this man song and i'm pick up them back for one piece ,new one, better one , gives me strenght for hard life and dreams for my rest.
As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working-class hero is something to be A working-class hero is something to be
It will be a long story, but i hope Wardruna will read it, because i am so grateful for their music. I always searched the reason of my life, of my exist and my place in this world. But i never found it. I always had interest about nordic cultures, about the scandinavain culture. But the true eye opening moment was, when i heard Wardruna at first time. Since that moment - which was around in 2018 - there is no day without Wardruna. Even if i'm not listening the songs at the moment, i hear it, and it is touching my soul.. something ancient. Now, thanks for this amazing and magical music, now i know my place in this world. And i know my soul is belong to something old, to something which is almost got forgotten. I found the Love of my life thanks to Wardruna and Heilung. She is the most perfect women whoever i met. My biggest dream to see and hear Wardruna in live, i hope once they will visit Hungary, or i can visit a place where they have concert near to me. Thank you for your amazing work, and thank you for changing my life!
I'm soooooo touched! I almost dropped my weights at the gym! This was so magical and stunning. Man I've never heard something so completed my entire life! How is this even possible!
this kind of music has history in some way. and he is one of the most powerful voices out there in our generation. if this not touches you in any way whatsoever... im afraid your soul maybe doomed. ;)
Gods almighty. Never saw the choir coming. Brilliant rendition, the orchestra doesn't overwhelm Einar but its still very present, giving him sustainment. Every single hair on my body is standing!
Eu ouço Einar pelo menos uma vez ao dia. Obrigado por mostrar ao mundo esse gênero musical tão bonito e único. Creio que os deuses nórdicos te presentearam por um motivo especial. Abraços do Brasil! In English: I listen to Einar at least once a day. Thank you for showing the world this beautiful and unique musical genre. I believe that the Nordic gods presented you for a special reason.

An absolute masterpiece! This song always makes me cry but this version was so epic. Einar, thank you for blessing the world with your music and being so humble about it.

So magical 🙏🏻❤
Love your video's Jonna :) I didn't expect to find you in this comment section, but then again I'm not suprised! All the best to you!
It really is, just like you dear Jonna!
I think the same 😉❤🙏
Skål :D
OMG Joona hi, and blessings from Colombia!
Honestly just saw the name Einar Selvik and clicked thinking this gonna be good.
It was.
I never get disappointed, he is so talented, is my hero
It wasn’t good. In fact it was absolutely amazing
Agreed I missed them in mcr UK this year I was gutted so much feeling in his voice sometimes not knowing the words adds to the power and emotion off the song deffo spiritual

Einar is a force of nature. With an orchestra behind him, he's the whole storm. Love it!
I guess this is what it feels to be homesick about a place you've never been to. I love Vikings and the Old Norse mythology!

Perfect time of the year to start listening to this song again
Those who never stopped welcome you
@@amoral_minority Agreed
Yes! It’s seasonal right? I feel it!
That would be any time between January 1st and December 31st!
@@JoeyDediashvili Yes
Heed my words, all classes of men
You greater and lesser children of Heimdall
You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall
Of the oldest deeds of gods and men
The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea
The bright stars fall out of the sky
Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil
A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds
Brothers will fight one another and kill one another
Cousins will break peace with one another
The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it
Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles
Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel
The wolf will break its bonds and run
Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead
Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks
I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight.
Thatched with gold at Gimlé
There bold men will dwell
And enjoy cheer throughout their lives
Is that the translation? Wow... amazing, thank you!
I found 3. This one seemed to be the closest.

U are in valhalla , i know
The moment Einar's singing gets guttural (2:45), my heart soars. Every time.
Yes, its something out of this world...
@@bartoszrebelski8571straight from Asgard
Buried in a world full of anger, death and fear, I find this. And in six minutes of absolute beauty, I find hope. Thank you for this.
At least Rãgnarok means the destruction of the Yggdrassil and the nine worlds let by a completly restoration of the universe for a new cicle.
Hope can always be found for those who seek it
Sharing
This man like a best friend that I never meet in person
It's insane people don't open their minds and try and seek out more amazing music like this. Just blows my mind.
People are allowed to like different things than you do, it is immature to spend time worrying about other peoples personal preferences.
The Gods themselves were present during the performance of this song..

the music is gorgeous! For a trance state. Russian Varangians are in our blood. I think they listened to songs like that! Varangian Rus.
This man holds his ground against a whole choir... Strong voice and great song...He was the perfect choice to participate on the soundtrack of Vikings ...He lifted those series toward Cult level ( Ragnar too , of course or Mr Fimmel)
This made me cry just now, after having listened to it hundreds of times it hasn't happened. Not sure what happened lol.
it's only 4 notes but to play them over and over in time you have to be a machine, and he's singing too... i dont know why i find that more impressive than someone shredding.
This is why im proud i know Wardruna before it became popular thanks to the tv show Vikings! 🙌🏻
I can't feel anything else other than an immense sense of proudness for him. There is no way he started Wardruna expecting how big it would become. Sixteen million views on Lyfjaberg and I'm still in shock about it. He really has made the gods proud.
Lol so famous
What a masterpiece, i Love it... Grand Orchester, grand voice.... please come to Germany with the orchestra
Für sowas schönes finde ich keine Worte
Imagine taking this group and performance back in time to a viking age gathering
Einar Salvik, when he performs, his voice is like an intrenched & very familiar echo that reaches into the core of my soul. To me it feels like a call to come home.
Einar makes me feel to be closer to the Gods.
Damn...I just cannot truly understand how awesome Einar is. To think this is the same guy who used to be Gorgoroth’s drummer hahaha!! Wardruna’s music is one of the main reasons to be alive. So stoked to have yet one more version of this song. That makes four. Skål everyone!
Amazing and unique. As always. SKAL.!!! Can´t wait to listen to him alive next year.
Einar's cardio is probably 💪💪💪 His breath is looooooong
The original song is one thing, but the orchestral version.... The strings and voices kicked in, and I started crying.
It brings feelings when i hear this song. I sang this for my mother before she passed.
Einar, thanks to be in this world ⚔️
This could only be more magical accompanied by a ballet...
This orchestral version is sensational ! I get emotional whenever I listen to this song. ❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Мурашки пробежались по мне табуном... чуть не затоптали.
This music allows you to travel thousand years back and feel the different world with different people. Greentings from Russia.
He’s one of the few artists that sound better live than in the actual song
Otherworldly..... And phenomenal.
His words are like roots to a giant ancient tree as they grow they pluck at the strings in our hearts, it's the call of our pagan roots for sure!
I’m so proud of my Scandinavian ancestry when I listen to this.

Einar needs to be protected at all cost
This has to be the single finest piece of Scandinavian music I have ever heard in my life.
That noise makes me proud to be of Nordic descent.
This is my first youtube video comment ever, and this performance made me do it. Loved it !
Einar + orchestra = epicness²
Where has this music been all my life? Yes, complete my album.
Can't stop listening and watching that.
Literal tears, goosebumps and chills. The Allfather is with you Einar, speaking through you!!
Epic. Needs no words, speaks for itself.
The beauty of Wardruna and Einar Selvik; they do not need a choir/ orchestra behind them. I love the instrumentals and skaldic versions they do
Wow i have no words, this beyond beautifull. This is for the soul
Det är väldigt roligt för mig att efterkommande av människor som försöker förstöra vår religion , folksånger och epics älskar och äger våra låtar , vår religion och vår historia med stor beundran . Einar ❤️
This deserves far more, einar deserves better. This is so spiritual, i was somewhere else when i closed my eyes!
Without ochestra this song is so damn epic, but the genius Einar Selvik found a way to make it even more epic !! Thanks a lot Einar for being such a great musician !!!
I wish this was on spotify.
Einar Selvik and its magnificent performance.
If only the video wasn't so quiet this would be perfection.
Piece of my ancestry preserved by this amazing artist a gift from the gods bestowed upon you einar Skól
Come on this dude could be brushing his teeth and still be deep and stoic
MERVEILLEUSE DECOUVERTE grâce à Messire LUC ARBOGAST sans le savoir avec le mot RAÏDO , c'est superbe comme le chanteur ! Merciiiiii
The gods sent us Einar so that we would not forget them. Thanks for the creativity.
It is unbelievable how well this works together. Great piece of art. Keep it up.
I honestly got chills listening to this. Einar is such an incredible musician and this ensemble works so well.
Love it! Greetings from Germany.
Again, speechless. Medicine for the soul
You never fail, let the Nordic winds be with you ❤️
Just so so good. Fucken tears and shivers man.

@@mreddyfeelgood hopefully some new material from the boys soon. Stay safe brother.👍 Its a crazy rabbit hole melodic metal leads you down.
Thank you Wardruna.
Made me cry another time, like usual !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song just touched my soul..
You know it's Real art when words can't describe how it makes you feel when you experience it..
Breaking my soul for pieces ewrytime i hearing this man song and i'm pick up them back for one piece ,new one, better one , gives me strenght for hard life and dreams for my rest.
How dares to dislike this???
Are they incapable of ... FEEL???
its the saxons
The orchestry is not needed. Einar! You on your own do THE BEST
For all people says that we are living in the worst age of music... listen this
Whow!!! Ich muss wieder und wieder auf "wiederholen" drücken. Wunderschön: "...Freude genießen das ganze Leben lang!"
Every time I hear this version makes me nostalgic from a place I’ve never been …
what a nice song !!!!!! SKAL FROM GREECE
Beautiful and soul stirring. So glad to have found Wardruna
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working-class hero is something to be
A working-class hero is something to be
Mr Einar, THIS is the best version of the song! Skål!
Hes no doubt the best nordic bard out there.
People who dislike this song have no understanding of the music.
I dont dislike the song just this version its way better with Einar alone
@@toxicwaste9908 no, this version is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in music history
@@pouks why lol?

So Beautiful I LOVE Wardruna❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️my Viking roots ascend to Valhalla to this song 🎶 ✨✨✨✨✨
Шедевральное исполнение!
Welche Kraft von diesem Lied ausgeht ... Danke das ihr mein Leben bereichert habt
During this song, a few people allegedly saw, far at the back, a figure wearing a dark cloak with a raven in his shoulder. I wonder who that was...
It will be a long story, but i hope Wardruna will read it, because i am so grateful for their music. I always searched the reason of my life, of my exist and my place in this world. But i never found it.
