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.
I 💯👍
This is perfectly said
Well said. 👍
I agree
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
It is. It forever will be.
@@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 :-)
The Gods are inside us, through the human nature of our actions. The Gods are outside, through the nature of the world. To meet the gods is to be true to our own self, and to be true with the world around us.
Einar is a force of nature. With an orchestra behind him, he's the whole storm. Love it!
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 🙏🏽👍🏽
The moment Einar's singing gets guttural (2:45), my heart soars. Every time.
Yes, its something out of this world...

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
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
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.
This man like a best friend that I never meet in person
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!
The Gods themselves were present during the performance of this song..
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! 😊
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)
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…
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.
He’s one of the few artists that sound better live than in the actual song
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!
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.
@@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
Thank you!
U are in valhalla , i know
The original song is one thing, but the orchestral version.... The strings and voices kicked in, and I started crying.
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
Einar, thanks to be in this world ⚔️
This music allows you to travel thousand years back and feel the different world with different people. Greentings from Russia.
This orchestral version is sensational ! I get emotional whenever I listen to this song. ❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
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.
Melkor?
Gabriel Alejandro Doldán ?

Für sowas schönes finde ich keine Worte
Мурашки пробежались по мне табуном... чуть не затоптали.
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 ❤️❤️❤️
Literal tears, goosebumps and chills. The Allfather is with you Einar, speaking through you!!
Whow!!! Ich muss wieder und wieder auf "wiederholen" drücken. Wunderschön: "...Freude genießen das ganze Leben lang!"
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?
@@pouks this music is sooo beautiful
People who disliked this video never watched Vikings.Thats the true answer
MERVEILLEUSE DECOUVERTE grâce à Messire LUC ARBOGAST sans le savoir avec le mot RAÏDO , c'est superbe comme le chanteur ! Merciiiiii
Otherworldly..... And phenomenal.
If only the video wasn't so quiet this would be perfection.
Irish Scotts Kev here.Jonna Hinton very much so. Makes me embrace my true Norse origins.HIS VOICE HAS TOUCHED ME TO THE SOUL.thank you for sharing your gift.tuferes
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
Su música y voz transporta a esos tiempos lejanos
This has to be the single finest piece of Scandinavian music I have ever heard in my life.
Einar's cardio is probably 💪💪💪 His breath is looooooong
Just so so good. Fucken tears and shivers man.
Man I'm reading your comment with my stone's reach t shirt on ❤️ glad to see it here.
@@mreddyfeelgood Hahahahaha i legit have mine on right now aswell
Wow HAHAHA so glad to hear that mate!
@@mreddyfeelgood hopefully some new material from the boys soon. Stay safe brother.👍 Its a crazy rabbit hole melodic metal leads you down.
As I listen to this breathtaking masterpiece, the only thing I can imagine is an epic battle scene almost like The Battle of The Bastards, but in slow motion, as cinematic as possible. Warriors and their battle cries, shields being shattered, swords clashing, spears flying... Gods, what a view! Anyways, sorry. This arrangement was so on point, so brilliant!!! Einar, as always, a genius. ❤
Einar Selvik and its magnificent performance.
Can't wait to see him November 2022 in Dallas TX
How dares to dislike this???
Are they incapable of ... FEEL???
its the saxons
What a voice, it made me cry.....
Mr Einar, THIS is the best version of the song! Skål!
That has got to be the best live performance of any song I've ever heard!! Einar has a voice of the gods, I can't get enough.
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 !!!
Piece of my ancestry preserved by this amazing artist a gift from the gods bestowed upon you einar Skól
Beautiful and soul stirring. So glad to have found Wardruna
He takes you to a lost world... Magical indeed.
Where has this music been all my life? Yes, complete my album.
Long live skálds. Goosebumps every single time.
Come on this dude could be brushing his teeth and still be deep and stoic
It brings feelings when i hear this song. I sang this for my mother before she passed.
This is my first youtube video comment ever, and this performance made me do it. Loved it !
Just when you think Einar cant out do his self, challenge accepted.
Please please please more orchestral compositions in the future! This mixture is amazing! 👍
im always stunned when i listen to him.
the passion in his voice is infectious.
such a brilliant musican
I honestly got chills listening to this. Einar is such an incredible musician and this ensemble works so well.
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!
The gods sent us Einar so that we would not forget them. Thanks for the creativity.
Шедевральное исполнение!
Again, speechless. Medicine for the soul
This made me cry just now, after having listened to it hundreds of times it hasn't happened. Not sure what happened lol.
Every time I hear this version makes me nostalgic from a place I’ve never been …
You are a true Skald, Einar. Greetings from 🇩🇪
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. ;)
Видно когда человек не просто знает о чём поёт, А поёт именно душой!
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..
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. Hugs from Brazil!
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 ❤️
Music that wakes up your ancient soul
I love this so much! For my quarantine project, I bought a lyre and have been working on this. I still have a few lines of the final stanza to memorize. It's sounding bomb! Gonna be a hit around the campfire if we can ever get together with other humans again. Thanks, Einar!
Einar Selvik is the Ed Sheeran of Viking Music... such an incredible voice!
Hail Wardruna! Hail Einar!
Even the out-of period/character backing can't diminish the power of his performance of my favourite of his songs.
Would enjoy a whole Album with Orchestra! This is so magical that you sink in while listening. LOVE IT !!
Can't stop listening and watching that.
This song just hits me in the heart I dont know why ....I feel some type of way listening to this like my home is calling me
Welche Kraft von diesem Lied ausgeht ... Danke das ihr mein Leben bereichert habt
Ive never clicked so fast in my life
the same. good to have notification system)
Never liked a video faster, as soon as the music started and he opened his mouth I was hooked
Me too!
What you mean ? You didn’t like it ?
Woow mistrzostwo Panie Einar wielki szacun
Einar, you got an incredible Viking voice, a gift from the Gods!! Thanks for the magic once again :)
Just wow! I could listen to this all day.
Wonderful as always, proud to be Asatru from Brazil!
Saudações, minha irmã! Que nossa fé seja cada vez mais forte aqui no Brasil.
Its funny to see people from a totally different country and culture, that are interested in Viking culture which concern mostly northern Europe.
Saudações, pagãos brasileiros, que os deuses sejam bons a vocês, Skol!
@@itsad7194 Isn't funny to me, is faith and love with our Gods.
Nevermind the quantity of versions of this song I've heard, every time it takes my breath away. This is perfect.
I feel Einar's music make way through my veins.
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.
Greetings from Turkey
Some kind of Magic!!! Thank you, Wardruna, thanks a lot, Einar!!!!
Thank you Wardruna! Thank you Einar Selvik!
Einar is in a class of his own.
For all people says that we are living in the worst age of music... listen this
Боже мой,оберегай светлую Душу Ангела твоего,через молитву древним Богам души людей спасает.Здравия .
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!
I don't understand words of song but feel sadness behind his song
