@@MikeandGinger could you pls make a reaction to their song "in maidjan". This song is a full display of their talent and it is so beautiful it puts you in a compfortable trance state. The female lead lingers name is Maria Franz and she does a couple of things in that performance where i heared vocal coaches say they would want a lesson from her. It is impressive to say the least.
This is from their first ever live concert: LIFA live at Castlefest. High lung. It’s an epic concert. You really have to listen to In Maidjan to hear the vocal qualities of Maria Franz. Other great songs from the LIFA concert are: Othan Alfadhirhaiti Hamrer hippyer Those are real human bones Maria uses. Don’t forget Norupo, official video
@@Glenn056 i automatically forgot that most readers don’t speak German like I also do. It’s the German lung where the u sounds like the moo sound of cows.
The lyrics for the English part of the song, since I just know you're curious: What am I supposed to do if I want to talk about peace and understanding? But you only understand the language of the sword... What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall? But you only understand the language of the sword... What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace? But you only understand the language of the sword... I let the blade do the talking So my tongue shall become iron And my words the mighty roar of war Revealing my divine anger's arrow shall strike All action for the good of all I see my reflection in your eyes But my new age has just begun The sword is soft In the fire of the furnace It hungers to be hit And wants to have a hundred sisters In the coldest state of their existence They may dance the maddest In the morass of the red rain Beloved brother enemy I sing my sword song for you The lullaby of obliteration So I can wake up with a smile And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart Coexistence, Conflict, combat Devastation, regeneration, transformation That is the best I can do for you I see a grey gloom on the horizon That promises a powerful sun to rise To melt away all moons It will make the old fires of purification (of purification) Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers
Common side effect. They're music can change you in ways you can only experience. Also other side effect may include sudden and sporadic beard growth, household pets turning into legendary beasts and waking up in the woods in an unkown land.
This first concert was great. I mean it had such great setting and "mood" - it was like everyone was transported in past times:). Songs are also made in a not rush way - I mean slow transformations in a music (like horn and small changes and then all other instrument slowly come in :) ). BTW: Once I was a musician like them, but I was hit by arrow in a knee ;).
Loved the slow build of this song and credit to the horn blower with his breathing technique. Also the effort with their instruments, so basic, shows you can make music with anything, as I’m sure it was back in time. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
@@stevenhopwood8195 no, not at all. In fact i recommend the full show. Heilung Lifa at castlefest in netherlands (2017 i believe). I have the dvd and cd copies. My 71 yr old father also has the cd.
You guys should check out their songs Alfadhirhaiti or Norupo. They also have a side group called Songleikr, and their song Ulvetime is just something else. It's hard to put into words.
I dig those chairs! They look super comfy. The horn sound is kept going by a looping/sampling pedal that plays the sound over and over. Since it's just one note, it sounds constant. At the end he resumes blowing the horn because he wants the sound to taper off. Sorry if I'm explaining the obvious there. I read somewhere that the throat singing/growls they do have a historical basis. In some rune or manuscript, some ancient people were talking about leaving a village in I believe what's now Sweden and said that their singing was as of dogs barking. I wish I could find the exact wording as it made more sense than what I just typed, but I can't.
Oh, and if you've got some time, the reaction channel The Charismatic Voice did a long but informative and entertaining interview with Maria Franz of Heilung. I'm not requesting a reaction to it or anything - that would be silly since the video is over an hour long - but it's worth a watch if you'd like to learn more about Heilung. Here's a link. th-cam.com/video/0LPlrR0E7QM/w-d-xo.html
This is music that speaks to the soul, Maria Franz is also a Ginger. Norwegian . She even wrote an episode for the show Vikings. The band is touring USA in October. Sadly no international bands touring to South Africa😕
Sorry, been away for a while - liked the reaction. Heilung, originally an norwergian (female lead singer) danish (singer, composer, instrumentalist) and german (singer, composer, instrumentalist) collective. They build their instrument. Impressive in concert, I'm told. More reactions to these guys, please. Like that you guys got/move new chairs in - and Ginger, what's with the belt ;o)
2 or 3 times a year I play this song on my audioinstallation outside my house in the woods I live in , it has an amazing effect as it echos under the trees and keeps the fauna silent for at least half an hour
By the way those were human bones Maria was playing. They have to get special permits when traveling due to the type of drum heads they have, the bones they use and there are human ashes in their rattles. The name Heilung means healing.
I still recall the first time I discovered Heilung. July 2018, I was riding through the town of Banff on way back from sightseeing. It popped up a suggestion in my u-toob feed. I was totally smitten.
I was a little surprised when you said that you haven't heard Heilung before. Had to go and check. They are a bit like Wardruna. Really glad you like them. Lifa - Hamrer Hippyerand and Norupo are quite good next songs by them
4:20 the horn is already sampled taking the horn from the very beginning while they sample it on stage for it to continously play, so is the metallic noises sampled in live during the performance, not a long breath :D
I would suggest you guys start watching Vikings and The Last Kingdom. A lot of Heilung, Warduna, Danheim and other artists music shine in those shows. Also, it will give you a greater context and understanding of the Germanic religions (including the Norse and Danes) which are all very similar between themselves. This is what we were before christianity came to mainland Europe.
Just imagine if you will that you were a young roman soldier guarding the frontiers of Germania and you heard that getting closer. Oh by the way those bones are human- the radius and ulna I believe.
i wish they would do a song that features a primitive bagpipe. For they were an ancient musical instrument. Almost as ancient as the drum. And nearly every European culture had them, not just the Scottish folk. It was ubiquitous. It should be celebrated as much as that lyre.
Krigsgaldr is one of my top three Heilung songs alongside In Maidjan and Hamrer Hippyer, but my absolute favorite is Hamrer Hippyer. It's a fantastically driving song, and feels so intense, but it's all about healing and it comes in three different languages across the song. It's like this intense ritual, wishing for the mending of bone and blood and joint. And then the song ends with the words "May it be of help." It's so fitting for Heilung, being that they start their shows with a mantra that begins with "Remember that we all are brothers" and their name literally means "Healing" in German. I haven't yet heard a song of theirs that I don't get lost in. Krigsgaldr feels like the sort of "flagship" song of Heilung, with the story it tells and the layers of sound and the clear change in "acts" as the peaceful village must rise against their invaders and enemies, and it is indeed the story of the album. Maria Franz's voice gives it so much soul, but she shines best in In Maidjan and Norupo for sure. Highly recommended if you enjoy this type of music.
I was born in Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein and live there. In the Middle Ages my homeland was Danish, now German. Because of this, I have a loving connection with my northern neighbors. P.S. It doesn't matter where you were born. Your character makes the man. We are ALL barbarians. Ask the ancient Romans.Peace
May I recommend a swedish song called Du gamla du fria - by Jonna Jinton . I think both of you will love the song , great visuals of swedish countryside .
I can imagine this is EXACTLY the sounds made by pre-Christian Norse shaman, priests and warriors........Maria is a pagan goddess when she sings...............
The thing I enjoy most about Heilung (German for "healing") is their use of the ancient languages. I am pretty sure that this one was in the d Futhark dialect, but I could be wrong.
@@MikeandGinger Yeah, it is actually a dead language that has been forensically reconstructed in recent years but very few can translate it (maybe a select few linguistic scholars). Most of the Viking and Pre-Viking culture and records were destroyed by natural causes or during the Christening of Europe under the Church. All we have left is some of the poetic Edda's, stone inscriptions and burial sites, to my knowledge, though there might be some other sources that I am unaware of. If I am not mistaken, Icelandic and Norwegian are the closest modern relatives to the Futhark dialect, but, again, I could be wrong. Either way, this is a great song and I am glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes to the both of you
Ahh yes our peaceful side that gives reminder to anyone who thinks its a good idea to invade. Basicly: "if war is what you looking for, the war you shall have." :)
"Valkyrie Ginger": "I always wanted to play music with the bones of my enemies!" 😅😛😈☠️

Please check out In Maidja.
This is sooooooo good

High loo-ng, not lung. Based on pronunciation from the band members themselves.
@@Glenn056 i automatically forgot that most readers don’t speak German like I also do. It’s the German lung where the u sounds like the moo sound of cows.
@@palantir135 here in Italy the "u" is pronounced as "oo" in english too
@@Glenn056Just to correct you both it is Heilung.
Ginger I could see that look on your face as you had a strange feeling awaking inside your soul. Reminding you of a time of your ancestors.
Always worth remembering that this was their first ever live performance. Stunning and their beats speak to our souls and of times past.
Ginger:- "I understand the language of the sword!"
Mike:- "Meet me in my pillow fort!"
The most oblique chat-up lines ever!
Lol.
The lyrics for the English part of the song, since I just know you're curious:
What am I supposed to do
if I want to talk about peace and understanding?
But you only understand the language of the sword...
What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall?
But you only understand the language of the sword...
What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace?
But you only understand the language of the sword...
I let the blade do the talking
So my tongue shall become iron
And my words the mighty roar of war
Revealing my divine anger's arrow shall strike
All action for the good of all
I see my reflection in your eyes
But my new age has just begun
The sword is soft
In the fire of the furnace
It hungers to be hit
And wants to have a hundred sisters
In the coldest state of their existence
They may dance the maddest
In the morass of the red rain
Beloved brother enemy
I sing my sword song for you
The lullaby of obliteration
So I can wake up with a smile
And bliss in my heart
And bliss in my heart
And bliss in my heart
Coexistence, Conflict, combat
Devastation, regeneration, transformation
That is the best I can do for you
I see a grey gloom on the horizon
That promises a powerful sun to rise
To melt away all moons
It will make the old fires of purification (of purification)
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
If they ever do a concert in your area they hire local people to appear on stage as warriors. You and Mike would be perfect for that roll.
I saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado. Perfect venue. They opened and closed the ceremony with Native Dancers. It was perfect.
Maria Franz has been around for like ten years - it's about time her talent was recognized.
This touches something in my prehistoric soul....
Common side effect. They're music can change you in ways you can only experience. Also other side effect may include sudden and sporadic beard growth, household pets turning into legendary beasts and waking up in the woods in an unkown land.
everybody gangsta till the trees start speaking proto germanic
You can play music with my bones… because I just died laughing after you said that you always wanted to play with the bones of your enemies 😆😂🤣
I'd give my right arm to have Heilung play with my bones 😂
I second "In Maidjan" - that one is a must!

I just recently discovered this band, too, and like them quite a bit.
Krig means war, and galdr means scream or roar. The name of the song krigsgaldr is best translated warscream.
This... Is mesmerizing 😳
I love it!
You guys should check out their songs Alfadhirhaiti or Norupo. They also have a side group called Songleikr, and their song Ulvetime is just something else. It's hard to put into words.
Not to forget that Maria Franz and Christopher Juul are also part of Euzen.
@@jinxvrs I haven't gotten into Euzen as easily as Songleikr. Just gotta find the right song I suppose

Customs is a challenge for them as some of those bones are human. So Ginger is on point about the bones of the enemy.
And at least one of their rattles has human ashes in it.
Same or worse problem regarding certain animal parts.

Awesome
Also, the big drum is painted with their own blood. They refresh it annually in a special ritual.
there is a whole concert on TH-cam (Alcatraz Festival 2021- their latest performance, aired by Arte concert) :D
The tapping of my enemies bones. Will hopefully scare my future enemies to stay away 🤣🤣😉👍.
In Maidjan, from the same concert please!
love Heilung, I use them as "meditation" music..... ps. a bit sad Ginger did not say she wanted that dress this time ;-)
Lol. It didn’t have any sequins! 🤣

@@MikeandGinger Went searching through your backlog. I thought you had done them before. But it might have been another channel that I watch
LIFA isn’t a song. LIFA means live.

They revived ancient Germanic languages to do this. Unreal ❤️

next alfadirhaiti heilung please
if I was dating that lady Id want her to wear that makeup & dress just like that, shes so incredible.
We all have this energy within us, where has it gone? Why has it gone? We need to find it again.
From what I have heard, the bones Maria is tapping is real human bones
I get to see them in Portland in September. I’m beyond excited
"Leave me and my pillow fort in peace!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just imagine if you will that you were a young roman soldier guarding the frontiers of Germania and you heard that getting closer. Oh by the way those bones are human- the radius and ulna I believe.
Krig is the gateway song to LIFA... which leads to.... Heilung..... life changed
they once said, that they have no fans.... they have a tribe of brothers and sisters, that come to their rituals.....
Maria Franz is really good . You should see her in her other band Euzen.
For Heilung its worth reacting to In Miadjan...
Maria is a chameleon. She can go from woodland pixie to Ice Goddess just by changing bands
