How does vocal coach not know about throat singing? It is common to almost every northern culture.. Russsia, Canada, Scandenavia... I'm a progammer and I knew what was going on....
There's some videos about Inuit throat singing that explain the how people have been creating these sounds. While this singer isn't using that specific technique, it sounds quite similar.
Eivør sings in Faroese (From the Faroe Islands - related to Icelandic). And I've seen this song live when she was at the Kennedy Center in Washington - absolutely brought the house down.
Ah cool, I worked at the KC for many years. Saw many incredible acts over the years. It really increases your musical vocabulary to be exposed to all sorts of styles. I miss it, and DC in general especially in terms of all the great venues you can see and hear music in.
I recognize that place. It's Stigen farm in Norway. A bit north of Undredal. It's not a place you can get to without either a helicopter or significant physical exertion. I guess this was a concert for dedicated fans only.
So I see a pattern here.. Northern Canada, Iceland, Northern Norway & Sweden, and then Mongols. It seems like this kind of singing has been taught among people from way up Northern Arctic circle.
I suggested it in my comment, too. But to surprise you: take a look at that vid again, look at "further information". Would you have guessed who wrote the lyrics of the english version? I couldn't believe it.
i love my country💜 This was shot in western Norway, but Eivør is from the Faroe-islands (Føroyar), which was mostly settled by people from western norway. These isolated islands lie between England, Iceland and Norway. Faroese is comparable to 1300s norwegian. so its old norwegian.. hugs from Norway 💜
I wish you could steal me away ! My grandpa immigrated from Denmark and his wife who was Canadian born- her parents immigrated from Finland. ....my daughter's father is Norwegian. I have a deep love and fascination for the North. It sings in my blood. 🌱 Checking your channel out by the way. I am a channeler. 🌱
If i would read some 1300’s norwegian i could maybe understand it because we learn danish in school and that is a bit more like norwegian, not because our languages are that alike
Beth - I just came across this amazing singer. Her music ties the ancient Nordic and Celtic cultures together and I sincerely believe that is why it penetrates so deeply. After deconstructing this, try listening to it again, close your eyes and surrender your emotions to it. I can't - it brings me to tears. I am a student of Iron Age Celtic history and I can tell you that the Faroe Islands are one of the main ancient crossroads where Iron Age Celtic and Norse cultures intertwined. If it is pulling at your heart strings, consider this: Eivor is a spring and the voices from the ancient past are indelibly printed in her genes.
Thanks for doing this video! Eivor is absurdly talented as a singer (and musician) - had the pleasure of seeing her live in a very intimate venue (whim purchase after hearing her voice on Jools Holland and being a bit captivated) - interestingly she has at least 3 distinct vocal "styles" - the odd throat singing type beat boxing, the high atmospheric keening in Faroese and Icelandic, and her English language alt-pop kind of voice where she sounds eerily like Kate Bush. Really one of the finest singers I've had the pleasure of seeing up close. So versatile and engaging! Also, as someone who grew up in Shetland, the Faroe connection really speaks to my memories of childhood in a kind of primal way I can't explain very well. Really, a singer who should receive more attention internationally for her talent. If you get the chance please go and see her! - she tours a lot, and her low profile means the gigs tend to be ridiculously cheap (I think I paid £10 only) for some absolutely wonderful entertainment.
Absolutely brilliant performance it is. Also perfect for a transition into a bigger scaled performance of spiritual proportions. Look for a video called "Wardruna, Aurora and Oslo Fagottkor: "HELVEGEN"" it's multiple people with choir at a natural rock theatre. Epic!
Oh my goodness, your face when you first hear the throat singing 😄 Perfectly describes what many people think when we first hear those primal sounds come out of this fairy woman 😄
Yes! I have some friends of mine who sings like that too, but Jonna is sooooo good at it! Still used at very old fashioned traditional farms here is Sweden to call the cows home,
Faroese, from the Faro Islands, between Iceland and Denmark. There are 50,000 speakers on the Faro Islands, and an additional 20,000 speakers in Denmark. She and John Lunn do the sound track for the historical drama series called The Last Kingdom which you can see on Netflix. The series is about the Viking invasion of England during the reign of Alfred the Great. She provides the viking "authenticity" for the show.
This is the kind of music I write to. It’s spiritual, and therefore elicits deep creative forces that are then channeled for whomever reads the words produced. Stunning artist!
Eivør - Fallen Free (Live at the old Theater in Torshavn) Same person, completely different vocal approach. Like, an entire different genre. (Professionally shot, sung in English). Please, Please, Please!
It IS inbreath. She har song this song for years and at this point she is almost jamming it as much as singing it. Please, more Eivør. Look for live studio performances. Also she is singing in Feroese.
The first time I ever heard her was when my Beloved posted a video of her singing this song live. It reverberated through my Soul and my entire being. I scurried trying to find the lyrics in English. When I finally found them, my mind was blown because I intuitively felt "spellbound" by my Love and by the song he had posted, even before I knew what it was about. Absolutely fascinating!
Hush! Don't tell anyone! But I've sent a link to a song of her to Arjen Lucassen. And he thanked me for the hint. (Means he didn't know her, before.) Can't wait to one day maybe see her performing in an Ayreon song. Maybe like this one: th-cam.com/video/JiXtqovV070/w-d-xo.html (From left to right: Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen and Marcela Bovio. Flutist is Jerome Goosens. Each them names should be fun to search for, here.) Greetings from the far north of Germany!
If you dont do more reactions to her I still hope you can check out her music! She is absolutely AWESOME! Her contemporary music is mindblowingly beautiful!
This is one of my favourite pieces of music right now. I have listened to it maybe 50 times. Love Icelandic style music, i know she is Faroese. Very closely related though. Very spiritual and haunting and always makes me feel emotional.
Loved watching your reaction and commentary on this. I had the same reaction to her voice, which I first heard in the theme for the Netflix series, "The Last Kingdom". Talk about haunting and vast changes in resonance within her head voice - wow! Had to find out who was making those sounds like I'd never heard from a human, so I found the video you watched and yours. I'm going to get more of her music!
She´s an amazing singer. She probably got the inhaling inspiritation by living in Iceland for 4 years. We Icelanders are known for speeking on the inhale, especially when expressing something we find offensive or surprising. 😂 But the Faroese and the Icelandic language are very similar in their core.
Eivør Pállsdóttir, amazing singer-songwriter, from the Faroe Islands. She also does some singing with norwegian band "Wamp", traveling around in Norway, wich this live preformance is from
If you like this I'd highly recommend listening to the Last Kingdom soundtrack (or just watching the show, it's really good)- she features prominently for all 3 seasons. The composer John Lunn mixes her amazing raw ethereal vocals with synthy and atmospheric sounds so beautifully. This track is used in different ways throughout too.
Love the way you expressed yourself on hearing her voice ~ ' Hundreds of little spirits!' LOL! I feel the ancestors speaking through her also. What a voice, it emanates the earth, the sea, the sky and the air
I've always likened the high piercing voice to an arrow of emotion. It's headed for your soul and you might feel some things you didn't know you could.
Discovered eivor about 8 months ago and after viewing over 100 of her live and MV performances, she ranks in the top 5 world class female vocalists still active. The following will blow your mind. She’s so versatile “Eivor Wake me Up” ( 7: 11 duration) it’s in English and she kills it with celestial high notes and emotional impact. It’s about her longing to wake up from this earthy dream and reunite with a love that left her and she longs to return to that time lit by heartfelt memories ( and oh boy does her voice scale the ethereal heights). Watch the drummer go crazzzyyy. ~ Eivor “ free falling” ( the one that’s 6:47 duration. It’s on the island but inside I believe a restaurant seating capacity ( when the camera panned the audience) probably 300 lucky lucky souls to witnessed this beyond amazing performance. She put it on TH-cam about 3 years ago and very few views and likes. If she performed it in America and there were 50,000 in attendance , all 50,000 would be screaming and yelling for a long time during and after the performance. The strobe lightening, camera angles, her otherworldly vocal all combine to make this rendition truly unforgettable. At the end she hits a phrase that is so celestial so mystical so heavenly that even the great Dimash couldn’t execute with the emotional impact and purity that Eivor does. And a band member on drums was really into it! Watch the drummer go crazzzyyy. “Evior sofar True love” ( 5:18 duration) she performed this several times but my recommended version is otherworldly ~ Excuse my excitement but whenever I discover an amazing vocalist I can’t control my emotions. When I first discovered Morissette, Daryl Ong, Dimash, ( best pop-op vocalist in the world), Diana Ankudinova, , Park Hyoshin ( best ballad vocalist in the world) , Park Ki Young ( one of the best female vocalists.. as good as or better than So Hyang ), Forestella ( best crossover male vocal harmony group in the world). Lara Fabian... Now for one more Eivor ( the only one I know with a full orchestra and the one that highlights another side of her voice : semi-classical : TH-cam “Evior may it be “ ( Lord of the Rings) in a palatial setting in front of thousands with full orchestra and the Queen of Denmark!! ( at the end of this amazing performance the camera pans to the balcony and the Queen Of Denmark clapping. Incredible, mystical, celestial , will transport you to a higher realm. All love, Al
@@synogaming637 some may not have known though. I think it is awesome to be honest. Hate when people sing their songs in English when it wasn't designed to be done so.
I discovered Eivor last year.. and listened to this song on repeat for over 2 weeks.. that's how obsessed i was with her voice. I love to hear this song, and others of her with my eyes closed and simply let my thoughts float and fly through time and space. I heard other versions of this song, but this version, this live in nature version (and OMG what beautiful landscapes are in the video) in my opinion is the best! And Beth, i just loved your reaction, i kinda reacted the same when i first heard this song... it instantly made me cry, but with tears of emotion, beautiful emotion, even though i didn't understand a single word of the language
YES ! Thank you ! I wanted you to react to her for so long !! She is incredible ! You can also react to Boxes and Falling Free, incredible vocal stuff ! I discovered her some years ago with "I Tokuni", an incredible song, and since then, she's been hauting my life with her voice, I always say, to discribe her voice, that, if Elves exists, they might sound like her! I love her so much :)
Elves do exist. They inhabit higher dimensions , sometimes they are witnessed by third dimensional beings. When the third and fourth dimensions mingle .all the little beings that we hear of in folklore are real. Before Christianity these elves, fairies , trolls, Nissa were celebrated .
Check out the reaction by The Charismatic Voice. She also reviews this performance and she is an amazing reactor! She has amazing musical sensitivity and her personality is absolutely charming.
Never heard of her. I liked it. I'd like to suggest you something by Wardruna. "Raido" is a good one but also "Helvegen" ft. Aurora. Have a lovely day Beth! 🙂
The language is from the Faroe Islands, it has mixed the current with old languages.. I am very glad to see a piece of my ancestral culture spread across the nets:')
The strange noise part of this had me thinking of the theme song for The Last Kingdom (the TV series), turns out that it is her on that as well. Incredible performer.
Hi Beth I too felt like crying when listening to this. Her voice is so beautiful. Only discovered Eivør through this lock down we're in, I've since discovered a few other usual musicians on TH-cam. Love your channel too Beth 😉👍🏻
@@BullsayDune I think it is,along with Icelandic.Faroese Islands have to be one of the purest,most beautiful places on this earth,and that's coming from a Greek XD.I'd love to visit someday
I can highly recommend that you watch The Last Kingdom, for the best on Netflix and the one to Binge watch. Eivor is the lady who is singing the songs for the show.
Its Faroe (she is Faroe and icelandic). My choir actually Worked on a project with her and her voice is so Beautiful in person. videos dont do her justice!
Yay!!! You finally checked her out!!!! She’s brilliant! She also has the beautiful song called Falling Free (live) please please please please check ii out and react to it!!!!
![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 87 วันนี้!! คู่เอก "ก้องชัย vs โชคปรีชา"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YN6e7HVnekw/mqdefault.jpg)
That "weird noise" is traditional female throat singing. No wonder you feel the spirits. It got a spiritual meaning.
Beth should check out Tuvan singers.
How does vocal coach not know about throat singing? It is common to almost every northern culture.. Russsia, Canada, Scandenavia... I'm a progammer and I knew what was going on....
@@tyson31415 i love Tuvan throat singing
@@tyson31415 yep, in Hungary too

Also if you've done The Hu AND Eivør then you definitely need to complete the throat-singing circuit with Inuit throat singing and Tanya Tagaq
Ah cool, I worked at the KC for many years. Saw many incredible acts over the years. It really increases your musical vocabulary to be exposed to all sorts of styles. I miss it, and DC in general especially in terms of all the great venues you can see and hear music in.
Wow!
I had no idea she had ever been to the u.s. let alone the east coast wow!
@@CrystalTwinStar Yeah it was for a Nordic Festival at the KC and so it was really special thing to have.
@@adambrickley9088 😊❤
Do Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen! Einar Selvik and Aurora Aksnes are insane together!!!
I second this its an amazing performance and a gorgeous song too.
Major up vote for this!
Why no one has yet reacted to that song is a mystery
Oh yes please
Muito bom
I recognize that place. It's Stigen farm in Norway. A bit north of Undredal. It's not a place you can get to without either a helicopter or significant physical exertion. I guess this was a concert for dedicated fans only.
IT was recorded with another Norwegians band called Vamp, she was the guest singer ON one of their albums, if I recall correct.
I was recorded with another Norwegians band called Vamp, this was one of her solo song, she was the guest singer ON one of their album.
Eivør is so damn good live. If you get the chance to see her, I can't recommend it enough.
100% agree
My girlfriend and I couldn't believe how amazingly good the sound was! She and her sound guy completely nailed it!
Seen
i'll see her this wednessday , i'm really excited . it's magic music
@@nataliachodrep5395 see her in march 2020. Hope you are right fellas. Love the last kingdom too.
I have been to four of her concerts, and not been disappointed. I can 't wait to go to more....
The thing she does that amazed u is called Throatsinging and is common among Inuit people and in some Scandinavian/Norse communities
The most noticable users are Mongols though. This style is blended into folklore singing of all the peoples on their way to Europe up to Volga river.
it's called 'kai' in the altai region of northern russia, and I believe it's also practised by tibetan monks as a meditation tool
@@jeyyran i stand corrected. Thanks :)
I am Canadian from a northern community and until this song I didn’t know that throat singing was done anywhere else that’s really neat :)
So I see a pattern here.. Northern Canada, Iceland, Northern Norway & Sweden, and then Mongols. It seems like this kind of singing has been taught among people from way up Northern Arctic circle.
Hello Beth,welcome to the world of Eivør. She sings Trøllabundin differently every time. Try "Í Tokuni " (Into The Mist) She is the BEST !
I suggested it in my comment, too. But to surprise you: take a look at that vid again, look at "further information".
Would you have guessed who wrote the lyrics of the english version? I couldn't believe it.
I tokune is awesome. There is also an english version, but I prefer the Faroese one.
@@sigridvanosch1990 Yes. Me also,and it applies to all the Faroese versions of her songs.
I FINALLY FOUND A REACTION TO EIVORRRRR! Yessssssss! Your reaction is mine, “how did she come to learn this?!”
i love my country💜
This was shot in western Norway, but Eivør is from the Faroe-islands (Føroyar), which was mostly settled by people from western norway. These isolated islands lie between England, Iceland and Norway. Faroese is comparable to 1300s norwegian.
so its old norwegian..
hugs from Norway 💜
But me i was not Born in the right country

Thanks for doing this video! Eivor is absurdly talented as a singer (and musician) - had the pleasure of seeing her live in a very intimate venue (whim purchase after hearing her voice on Jools Holland and being a bit captivated) - interestingly she has at least 3 distinct vocal "styles" - the odd throat singing type beat boxing, the high atmospheric keening in Faroese and Icelandic, and her English language alt-pop kind of voice where she sounds eerily like Kate Bush. Really one of the finest singers I've had the pleasure of seeing up close. So versatile and engaging!

Shetlandic has many Norn words, evolving from old Norwegian, apparently en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norn_language
Oh god finally someone reacts to Eivør, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Absolutely brilliant performance it is. Also perfect for a transition into a bigger scaled performance of spiritual proportions. Look for a video called "Wardruna, Aurora and Oslo Fagottkor: "HELVEGEN"" it's multiple people with choir at a natural rock theatre. Epic!

Oh my goodness, your face when you first hear the throat singing 😄 Perfectly describes what many people think when we first hear those primal sounds come out of this fairy woman 😄

Her voice/music talents is used for the theme song as well as filler through out a Netflix show The Last Kingdom

This was wonderful, I love Eivör and your reactions were insightful. You have an awesome personality!
You can hear Eivør also in the soundtrack to "The last Kindom" - TV - Series.
I discovered Eivor last year.. and listened to this song on repeat for over 2 weeks.. that's how obsessed i was with her voice. I love to hear this song, and others of her with my eyes closed and simply let my thoughts float and fly through time and space. I heard other versions of this song, but this version, this live in nature version (and OMG what beautiful landscapes are in the video) in my opinion is the best!
And Beth, i just loved your reaction, i kinda reacted the same when i first heard this song... it instantly made me cry, but with tears of emotion, beautiful emotion, even though i didn't understand a single word of the language
YES ! Thank you ! I wanted you to react to her for so long !! She is incredible ! You can also react to Boxes and Falling Free, incredible vocal stuff !
I discovered her some years ago with "I Tokuni", an incredible song, and since then, she's been hauting my life with her voice, I always say, to discribe her voice, that, if Elves exists, they might sound like her! I love her so much :)
I completely agree! Just wrote my own comment before reading yours.
We (her subs) really need her to hear Fallen Free. The live version is mind blowing.
Elves do exist. They inhabit higher dimensions , sometimes they are witnessed by third dimensional beings. When the third and fourth dimensions mingle .all the little beings that we hear of in folklore are real. Before Christianity these elves, fairies , trolls, Nissa were celebrated .
So surreal! I would've loved just being there... the setting, the ambiance, the atmosphere!
Thank you for this Beth! Considering your love of unusual techniques, check out Ana Maria Hefele's polyphonic overtone video. It's jaw dropping.
That "makes me wanna cry" is the music speaking directly to you. Happens in every genre. THAT is the beauty of music.
absolutely adore eivør, she's faroese and based in denmark. try í torkuni and salt by her too! she's amazing ❤️
it makes me want to cry too. I have cried listening to this many times. it's emotional
your reaction to her "beat boxing" is PRICELESS I'm living for it
Next up, Einar Selvik anything you pick is fine
Hey! Check out my reaction to Einar here: th-cam.com/video/uc8ceijaTz4/w-d-xo.html
One of my favorite songs her voice is extremely unique I was searching for a reaction to this song !!!
Check out the reaction by The Charismatic Voice. She also reviews this performance and she is an amazing reactor! She has amazing musical sensitivity and her personality is absolutely charming.
Never heard of her. I liked it. I'd like to suggest you something by Wardruna. "Raido" is a good one but also "Helvegen" ft. Aurora. Have a lovely day Beth! 🙂
Here is my reaction to Wardruna: th-cam.com/video/NTEtMOqZQV8/w-d-xo.html
I absolutely love your take on this, Beth!
The language is from the Faroe Islands, it has mixed the current with old languages.. I am very glad to see a piece of my ancestral culture spread across the nets:')
you finally got around to this singer. thank you for your insight. i love many of her songs.
The strange noise part of this had me thinking of the theme song for The Last Kingdom (the TV series), turns out that it is her on that as well. Incredible performer.
Yes - it is Eivor doing the vocals (and part of the writing I think) on that sound track. Beautiful stuff!
@@brucemilne4919 she was credited for music along with the main person.
I love your explanations. And how you break down how they (singers) do the things they do.
"Tròdlabùndin"
Beth: "It's like an Orc!"
Trolls: "Trollcist..."
Actually Trodlabundin means spellbound, hasn't anything to do with trolls :)
Hi Beth
I too felt like crying when listening to this. Her voice is so beautiful. Only discovered Eivør through this lock down we're in, I've since discovered a few other usual musicians on TH-cam. Love your channel too Beth 😉👍🏻
She comes from the same place as I Do from the Faroe Islands❤️❤️
Saw her live about a year ago, she is an incredible singer
That's Faroese, that's the language we speak in The Faroe Islands :)!
is it true the faroese is the most near languaje to the ancient norse languaje?
@@BullsayDune I think it is,along with Icelandic.Faroese Islands have to be one of the purest,most beautiful places on this earth,and that's coming from a Greek XD.I'd love to visit someday
Instant like for this one, Beth! I love that song and the artist! Eivor is awesome!
Eivør is doing some throat singing in this c: it's pretty neat
Wow wow wow!!!! That was AWESOME!!! Time to download some more tunes!!! Thanks Beth!!! Roarrrrr!!!
You can buy her CD's directly from her homepage. I think they ship worldwide. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
I can highly recommend that you watch The Last Kingdom, for the best on Netflix and the one to Binge watch.
Eivor is the lady who is singing the songs for the show.
Her live track of Falling Free is amazing
Brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it. Truly an amazing performance!
...and a bonus for having "The Hound" on percussion... :P
ulverop the part that gets to me "oh I've been looking for you, in every part of me". It truly is amazing❤️
ulverop plus she's playing the guitar. It melts my soul, it really does. That's one of those songs that can be on repeat and never get old.
Same for me. Goosebumps every time...
Never thought I’d see the day where I’d see this! I love Eivør. ❤️
Its Faroe (she is Faroe and icelandic). My choir actually Worked on a project with her and her voice is so Beautiful in person. videos dont do her justice!
Hanna Sif No she is faroese , but has lived in Iceland for a periode of time!
Anyone listening to Eivor for the first time, and especially this song, has no idea what's coming... it's undescribable!!!
Yay!!! You finally checked her out!!!!
She’s brilliant!
She also has the beautiful song called Falling Free (live) please please please please check ii out and react to it!!!!
OMG, I'm so in love with Eivor. Beth, thank you for this reaction. I'm getting addicted to your videos)
"I don't even know what's going on it's like an orc" lmao
Eivor is so unique in her vocal style!!!
Great review as always...you do sound especially Scottish in this video I must say, I do approve
I love her, I've been listening for a long time
try MYRKUR - Bonden og Kragen
It's good, but it's no Virelai
@@benneburg I love Virelai but I loved Valravn even more.
@@whssy Krauka did it too! They just call it Kragevisen.
I found this song a few years ago and I still listen to it usually at least once a week. Something about it speaks to me.
I would recommend you react to árstíðir - Ljóð í sand. It's beatiful harmonic icelandic music by three fantastic singers
Your reactions throughout the entire video made me so happy!
You should do Aurora and wardruna with helvegen. It is haunting and magical and transport you to ancient times, viking era. So haunting.
Here is my reaction to Wardruna: th-cam.com/video/NTEtMOqZQV8/w-d-xo.html
The Last Kingdom! Yessss! Bless Netflix for bringing her to us.
