    I'm a Dane that was born and raised on a small island in the Baltic Sea. Night walks alone in the forest in winter. Following animal tracks and ABSOLUTE silence were truly magical. The snow dampened all sounds and you felt like you were cut off from everything else in the world. Wardruna has truly touched me for years. Few bands speak to the "Scandinavian melancholy" that I carry inside of me. But they do. Happy you got to experience this song. It is truly a masterpiece. And the Wardruna band, Kvitrafn and Aurora are artists in every sense of the word.

    • @JeFilm94
      @JeFilm94 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      No, it’s fairly accurate in the video translation: “the reputation of each who’s died”.
      Dómr um dauðan hvern:
      Dómr - døme - (the) reputation. Um - om - of. Dauðan - døde/ daude - the dead. Hvern - hver/ kvar - each.
      So in (relatively) modern Norwegian: “Døme om kvar ein daud" (the modern structure of the sentence swaps the last two words).

    • @lp2156

      @sombraarthur ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I am not a Dane, neither I am Nordic, but I lived in Norway and experienced a bit of this... The lone walks on forest, at winter time. The absolute slience, nothing moved, no sound was made (except for my boots pressing the snow), it was if the world suddenly just stopped, as if time itself was stopped, and the only thing still moving/living was me. And the only other signs of life were indeed the animal tracks.
      Never have I felt freer than those lone nights at one of the many Bergen's forests and mountains.
      May Freyja and Odin keep me in their good graces. May Tyr never get upset with me, because I do my absolute best to be honest, true and straight as an arrow.

    This song is amazing. The meaning is that Odin has taught him the songs to guide people to the afterlife, but that when he is gone no one will be left to sing to him. So it's both about physical death, but also the death of the traditional Norse culture as well.

    Apparently TH-cam didn't notify me this video dropped so I'm over a week late to my nerd essay, so that sucks. Great reaction! I love to see you appreciate all kinds of music! Now I'm going to explode with context. This song, of course, is about death and passing on, but more specifically it's about the old tradition in Scandinavia of families gathering and singing to their family on their death bed to ease their passing. More so, it's about the loss of that tradition, "Who will sing me, into the death-sleep sling me, when I walk the path to Hel, and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold?" Who will sing to us when we die? The tradition itself is mostly gone, but even further, the songs themselves are lost, and with them the vast majority of Scandinavian history (which was almost entirely an oral history) is lost as well. It's as if we promised to remember our ancestors, and we let them be forgotten.
    For further context, Hel in Norse mythology isn't a place of torture for sinners, rather it's simply the afterlife people go to where they simply fade away and are forgotten, and almost everyone goes there, with Valhalla and Folkvangr being exceptions. Even in the afterlife, there was no immortality or eternity, even the Gods themselves would someday die. Instead of living your life to earn an eternity, the Norse philosophy centered more around living your life in defiance of fear and apathy, knowing that while everyone will someday die, the best we can do is make our lives worth living, and by extension worth remembering, to which our memory would be passed on in our tales through family, and if it was worthy enough, society itself, for ages to come. This is a big reason that poetry was so important to the culture. The end quote comes from the Havamal, a collection of poems thousands of years old that was passed down orally and eventually written down in the 13th century, with the quote coming from the perspective of Odin himself, it's pretty much translated to; "Cattle die, friends and family die, so too must you die, but one thing that never dies is (the impact of a life well lived)".
    In making this song, Wardruna has produced something between a love letter to those who pathed the way for us to be here today, and a mission statement to honor and rediscover the wisdom and lessons we've lost along the way, that we may use them to lighten our future.
    As a person who's very empathic, I can't stop myself from tearing up when I hear this song, no matter how many times I hear it, it will always stir something in me.
    Anyway, I look forward to whatever reactions you put out in the future!
    For more Wardruna reaction suggestions, I highly recommend Lyfraberg and Kvitravn, also Raido. All three have music videos that are absolutely stunning, and hopefully won't get the video copyrighted... We can hope, cus they're definitely worth the watch

  • @X_ch4ng3
    @X_ch4ng3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Great reaction!😊👍 You should definetly check out more Wardruna, I recomend Kvitravn(white raven) . But I also recomend that you dip in to some of Auroras music as well. Aurora as you said is an artist on her own. She found an old electric piano in the attic when she was just a child. When she was 6 she made melodies, and when she was 9 she added lyrics.(all in secret from everybody, even her family) One of the songs she made at age 9 was on her debut album, it's called "Lucky". Her biggest song Runaway she wrote at age 11, and the music video to that song inspired Billie Eilish to pursue music, as a career and not just a hobby. I dont know if you're into Disney movies mutch, but Aurora was "the voice" calling out to Elsa in Frozen 2. Both in the song Into the unknown, and the movie.
    You talked about the emotion in this performance, and there's no one better at conveying emotions through performances than Aurora. If you consider to react to her I recomend you start with some of her earlier performances and songs. Recomended songs in reply⬇

    I discovered her in Covid times and her music, her whole cheerful, honest personality is just psychologically healing.
    Next to Floor Jansen, she is the only down-to-earth person in that business I know.
    She has been making music since she was 6 years old. That's when she played the piano for the first time. The lyrics came at 9. She writes her own songs. Important songs. She composes, produces, writes and sings. She is what one called a genius. Highly intelligent. She never wanted to be an artist, just write songs. She was discovered because a classmate posted a video of her without her knowledge. A record company approached her and her answer was no. Her mother then convinced her that she should do it. You don't keep music to yourself if you can help others with it. That convinced her.

    Very, very, very good reaction Aileen. This is so veery special performance and you describe their voices and harmonies so darn good i subs you for that. I hope you react more to Aurora. As you say soft and yet so powerful. She is definitly the most interesting artist this century. Follow this thiny angel and spiritual child of Mother earth for seven years now and i have not heard anything better. She have done tons of music and remarcable number of none bad song. This is for me the three best performances Aurora - Lucky live in Nidarosdomen. Through the eyes of a child - Stripped vevo live and a rather new song Exhale, Inhale - Vevo live these three is very calming, atmospheric, haunted and important songs in her catalogue. Sorry for my bad english! Have a nice weekend

    The studio album that this song came from is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I had to get a copy on vinyl for my collection. You can hear some of their music on the TV show Vikings, including this song.

No matter how many times I watch it, I still have to do a small wipe of the eyes, LOL. They have a few songs that move me the same way. I sincerely hope that you will make your way to them too!

    Your reaction literally moved me. I highly recommend anything and everything by Wardruna, and also from Aurora, but specifically 'runaway' which she wrote when she was 11 and was 19 in the video.

    Wardruna also does some collabs with Eivør Pálsdóttir, who you should ALSO check out. Her music is also incredible!

    This is the first video of yours I've seen, as this is one of my favourite songs and I probably have heard every version and cover of it out there. You're such a warm, open and expressive soul. Your reaction was so endearing and genuine, and I enjoyed your articulate and kind thoughts at the end. Songs like this help reflect the fragility and beauty of mortality back to us, a lingering reminder to indeed live with love and kindness and always remember what really matters, and what doesn't. Thank you for sharing your enchanting beauty.

    My mum has two criterias for her funeral when she eventually passes away: She is to be cremated, and we are to play this song as her casket is to be transported to the inevitable. My mum's pretty metal \m/

    During the winter when when there is a frosty but dry morning, I sit in my back garden listening to dark folk music with headphones for about 20 to 30 mins in just a t-shirt and shorts and it just makes me feel in touch with myself and the Earth. I just love it. Oh and I'd defo recommend listening to some songs by Aurora. She is incredible.

    I got to see this live in October. Aurora wasn't there but holy shit the entire show was amazing. They came to the Majestic Theater in Dallas and I couldn't pass it up. Had my tickets for 3 years, kept getting called of because covid. Got a bad ass hoodie after the show as well. If you ever get the chance to see Wardruna take it, it's like a healing experience.

  • @Geralt26
    @Geralt26 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great songs. Love her beginning and incredible harmonies between Aurora and Wardruna singer (also there were powerful transition between her solo beginning and when she started to sing too). Also love the ending lyrics (like sum of of the song :) ).
    Aurora is a great on herself. It is my favorite artist after I "discovered" her by a chance in 1Q2021 :). She has a lot of great music (like her whole discography ;) ). Hope you will check some songs from her too. Too much great songs from her but i would recommend f.e. Lucky live from Nidarosdomen :). But generally you can not go wrong with any her songs and even covers:).

  • @BestBryFar
    @BestBryFar ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The beauty in this song. For me, at least. Is the acceptance of an impending death. Finding the peace in it. "I know my life is coming to an end. I am not scared. I am at peace with this path."
    The last part. About cattle and kinsman dying. That is from The Havamal. Words of wisdom from the All-father, Odin.
    Wardruna is a truly amazing band. They did work on Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The raid music is one of the more noticeable parts you can really hear Einar's vocals in. They have so many beautiful songs. This being one of my favorites. "Solringen" and "Lyfjaberg" being others.
    If you seek more music like this. Skald and Danheim are two of my go to bands that you haven't delved into yet.

    the male vocalist is former metal drummist Einar Selvik, and if you wanna check out more of him you should definitively look up and react to a live performance from 2015 called "Vikings suite" he did with composer Trevor Morris, cellist Tina Guo and a polish Orchestra/choir

    Yet another spiritual family member. This reaction video needs no words because you leave it all out. You are fully transparent! Your expressions and micro expressions within the songs' vibratory mood lean you in and out of an altered state of full empathic connection to the spirit of the beings creating the music. The obviousness of your authentic self, in a reaction video is for some reason rare here, but loved and appreciated. Thank you for being connected (if only for a few minutes) with not only Wardruna and Aurora but everyone they represent including us, your viewers. Be Blessed dear one. You are more than you know.

    YESSSS! I adore Wardruna. The obly band where I really can get my head completely free. I really enjoy them in absolute solitude. They have an outstanding magic in their music. My recommendation for you would be their songs Raido (the build up is out of this world) and Kvitravn, a song that means pretty much for me personaly. Highly enjoyable.
    Thank you for that reaction Aileen!

    Aurora is not just a singer she is magic. Her voice takes you to a different place, This song is old Norse viking all the instuments are are from the viking era. Aurora is dressed as the white Raven, Ravens were white until they flew through the black souls of man.
