The acoustics of that train station made it feel all the more epic, like travelling back to the 1200s when this was originally written - a bit more raw, a bit more of how a person may have experienced the original performances. But both are simply wonderful.
That moment in the train station was absolute magic; so thankful that the moment there was captured & shared. I often revisit the clip when I'm feeling overwhelmed or anxious 🙏💕
Hark, Heaven's Maker what every poet asks; That thy mercy may come to me softly: Thus I call to thee, for you have created me; I am thy peon and you are my master. God, I call upon thee to heal me; to remember that I am fragile and thus need you the most. Oh, drive out the roots of my wrath, so generous and above all, every sorrow that has taken hold of my heart's fortress. Reach for me, o' mild one, when I need you the most; preferably every moment - in a world that you possess. Send us, son of the virgin, the beauty of creation and all aid from thee into my heart.
Well done and good work. I would say the second line in the second verse is a bit off. Seems to me the translation should be "heal me" not "weep for me". It is "græðir mig", not "grætir mig" (which would mean "make me cry" anyway).
You guys honestly have some of the sweetest sounding voices all together. I praise you immensely! Please don't slow down! And come to Australia so I can hear you in person! lots of love!
Sounds different w/o the distant terminal chatter and plane flyover. I hope the 2 men leaving were for the better; I must say; the train station recording sounded better. (No offense)
Bjarni, Son of Asger is sworn into the Brotherhood. Days before his first, and last battle. Knife slides through his palms, for the blood is proof of the trust towards Odin. *Or some shit, i don´t know... Eh.. Valhalla!*
It's now apparent how much the acoustics of the train station masked the imperfections in their delivery. Other renditions on YT yielded much better results. They should not have recorded this.
Creator's Remorse Take notice that this isn't the same ensemble like in the railway station. So you may missing some voices (the high notes f.e.) far from the acoustics of the station hall, that this small church in the video couldn't provide.
These guys look very different to the men at the train station. This lacks the epic tenner. Plus, I think the other men are better singers. Not that these guys aren't good, they are great..... The others where better.
It's still a good song... but it's just not the same without that echo from the train station
i like this better because its higher audio quality

Dude totally agree....still amazing either way
@@RetroYoungen the lyrics were written then, but the song itself is recent.

Hark, Heaven's Maker
what every poet asks;
That thy mercy may come
to me softly:
Thus I call to thee,
for you have created me;
I am thy peon
and you are my master.
God, I call upon thee
to heal me;
to remember that I am fragile
and thus need you the most.
Oh, drive out the roots of my wrath,
so generous and above all,
every sorrow that has taken hold
of my heart's fortress.
Reach for me, o' mild one,
when I need you the most;
preferably every moment -
in a world that you possess.
Send us, son of the virgin,
the beauty of creation
and all aid from thee
into my heart.

Thanks so much for your compliment. Your suggestion makes great sense and I'll correct it at once.
Are going to write this filth on every Heyr himna smidur upload? It's not about the lyrics. It's the vocals that count.
Thank you! Beautiful lyrics
Beautiful, but it lacks the epicness of acoustics akin to a trainstation.
I agree. This is great but I still enjoy the train station better. If only the train station video was filmed in a greater quality.
The train station video is pure and has heart.
This is posed and feels staged.
Salty Cracka It's part of their regular set list and is performed on all kinds of venues and locations....I love them all!
It's a concert. They are staged. Perhaps if you want something that isn't staged, don't watch a video of a concert.
1 year late reply but I have a remix available (link at the bottom of these replies)
This song sounds like it's woven with magic...
I don't think I breathed for three minutes. Wow.
You guys honestly have some of the sweetest sounding voices all together.
I praise you immensely! Please don't slow down!
And come to Australia so I can hear you in person!
lots of love!

I kid you not, I first read "come to Australia so I can hear you in prison!" xD
Sunshine Well, it is a nation of convicts.
+Alex Paulsen Indeed Alex Paulsen, Indeed.
+Zac Henderson Music I second this wish to come to Australia. A tour of some of the major cities would go down well...
It's just not the same without the little smoothed faced boy to fill in the high notes...where is he at???
An absolutely treat for the ears, wonderful.
Should get this recorded in a temple. In honor of the composer and writer. And try to get that "smaller poised guy ", his sopran for this is divine.
Sounds different w/o the distant terminal chatter and plane flyover.

Does anyone have a playlist with a bunch of hymns like this? Spotify or youtube preferably.
What happened to the smaller poised guy from the train video?
Jón and Hallgrímur left the band in 2013. In this video you can see Guillaume on the left. He accompanies the band on tour and plays the cello.
+Árstíðir at Christuskirche Hallgrimur? Holy crap that's a badass name.
It's the name of the big landmark church in Reykjavík too - Hallgrímskirkja. It's his church.
I love this. :)
Apparentle a decent subway station is still far superior.
Beautiful! Missing the high note though. Bisous J
это очень красиво!))
Veldig vakker sang. Jeg vil bruke dette på kirken min.
Nice singing
Lovely

The Chernobyl vibes is strong in this one.
The bass dude is how Vader would sound if he sang 😁
1:09... Nice Photomanipulation.
This pales in comparison to the train station performance. Zero goosebumps here.
