Lyrics:
Kvitravn
Ut i skuma
Lokkar til meg
Kvite ramnen
Duld og dvelande
Høyr eg spør!
Lend meg ei fjør
Så skal eg verkje
vingar kvite
Lat oss flyga
i vide vindar
I hugjen veida
Med songen seida
Høyr eg spør!
Lend meg vidsyn
Lat meg skilje
Sjå i skodda
Høyr eg spør!
Lær meg songen
som deg freistar… som meg freistar
som deg finn… som meg finn
Vil du meg fylgja
i all mi tid?
Vil du meg varda
i all mi tid?
Gygrefuggel
Gav meg vingar
Kvite korpa
Gav meg sjon
Galdrekråka
Gav meg songen
Kvite vingar
Fylgjer meg

White Raven
Into twilight
Lure you in
White raven
Veiled and dwelling
Let me ask!
Lend me a feather
I will turn it
into white wings
Let us fly,
wide on winds
With hunting minds
and sorcerous songs
Let me ask!
Lend me your wide-sight
Let me espy,
in fumes of fog
Let me ask!
Teach me the song
that allures you… that allures me
that finds you… that finds me
Will you follow me
throughout my time?
Will you watch over me
throughout my time?
Spirit-bird
Gave me wings
White raven
Gave me foresight
Chanting-crow
Gave me the song
White wings
Follows me - เพลง

When Wardruna sings, the Gods listen!
@MOD Xcviii it's definitely not yours
Lol and which is that
@MOD Xcviii Stop stepping on other people and their beliefs. Your teeny tiny itsy bitsy worldview is not mine, Filip's or anyone else's, so quit forcing it on others.
@MOD Xcviii you're entitled to your own opinion , mate.
@MOD Xcviii I commented this before everyone else did, I'm not trying to harass, I was like the second person to reply. Had it all been there before I woulda said nothing.
Hopefully this is a lesson learned.
No words can describe how much I love this song!! And the video is magical!
Hej.
It's time for a feature!
Omg Jonna is here too🤗
Probably got all the likes because of being another big TH-camr, not because of the comment itself.
EDIT: O Gods my notification box, all these replies.
Jag å Ivar tittade nyss på den också 😄 Måste visa den åt Tova, hon är ute å klipper får. Ska bli nice med ett helt nytt album snart.

As a Caucasian man with roots that can be traced back to Norway and Sweden, i have always been taught that having pride in my culture was wrong because it could be considered racist. That was always funny to me since i hate absolutely no one and hating someone for the color of their skin is completely idiotic and foreign to me. I have pride my ancestors that were fuckin warriors with their BARE hands. The soldiers today are absolutely badasses but the men and women who fought massive battles with just swords, shields or even their bare hands were 1 billion percent absolute bad asses. I'm damn proud of that.
I am Apache/Sioux/Danish /Spanish...
This is so similar to tribal mythology it is spooky.
I am 99% certain you are an American
How about you save your pride for things you achive on your own instead of feeling like you're a bad ass by proxy? 🤣
@@bondzad How about you read my comment. When the fuck did i say i was a badass? I said i was proud of it, nothing more. Furthermore, does it feel good being a piece of garbage? I mean what do you get out of saying shit like that to some stranger on friggin youtube? You must have the saddest most pathetic life to go around trying to make strangers feel bad about themselves on the internet. I'm not a badass. But i'm sure as hell i'm not as pathetic as you.
What are you talking about having blocked me. No shit I am American but native/indian american..
I normally don't watch videos of songs, yet this and that of Lyfjaberg is so captivating.
I listen to wardruna while I run at night. Running at night in the cold and looking at the stars all while listening to this beautiful music is almost a spiritual experience.
@@AlexIgSmith42 well it definitely is more than I’ve felt in any religious temple or church so you might be on to something.
yess someone who does the same thing as i do, or in the evening right before the sunset and right before a storm starts, i love to run in that time, you hear the thunder you see the lighting and you feel the droplets of rain from time to time, like preparing you for whats to come, this stuff to me is everything, i feel connected to everything i am everything at least for a short while until the rain stops, that's the best i can describe this feeling
then you run into a pole xD
Working out to wardruna, ac dc, heilung, guns n roses, or any hard battling music, its.... something unreplaceable
@@martinjugolin2087 yardwork, with the earbuds, is epic af now!
My son’s interpretation is that this is a sad song and he hopes you find your bird.
Lol:)
This comment made me giggle so much! 😂
:))
I love this!
That is now my favourite interpretation.
This song makes me so proud to be Norwegian! Which is weird because I'm Mexican🇧🇻🇲🇽
You are not alone!
my fellow Mexican Nord!
Hahahaha same. I am proud Bolivian Norwegian
@@lauralizarragaortiz7629 what the fuck.. Bolivian Norwegian... Haaaa indian... From Bolivia.. you lose all your Viking blood..
Heh. Generic American Northern European mutt here. And I live in Nytt (New) Mexico, so... welcome to Vikingdom? 😀 Ice fields are about as raw and stark as my deserts. Plateaus, mesas, buttes, and pinnacles instead of fjords? I think it works.
Esta música llega al corazón sin importar el país!. Jubel!. 😊👍
The ending...he is searching for the mythical white raven, a symbol of complete freedom, and he does find it. In fact it comes to him like an old friend.
Hello. My music is quite good. Is it ok with you?
Well said. The experience of freedom cannot be passed onto others, though. It can only be experienced. That is why I think the song ends before he actually meets the raven.
How do the ancient Norse define freedom though? It’s such a touchy subject, what freedom actually means in context. People like to bastardize it yk.
That old friend... is death... the only true form of freedom from this world.
brilliant
My soul is always filled with a sense of tranquility when listening to Wardruna...
Exact! I always feel a feeling of tranquility mixed with incredible power!
The God's are calling to you
We know where to find our tribe from listeners to these sounds.
I feel power when i hear these sounds
Exactly! I feel really relaxed and also powerful in a deep spiritual level when really focusing on listening. Like a connection to the old gods even tho I don't believe in any gods but Norse mythology is what I really like
The spiritual music of Wardruna and Heilung is my companion on hundreds of hours exploring the forests and mountains of Switzerland.
It touches a chord in the soul I didn't even know I have before. It's like finding a lost home.
Thank you for this gift and another masterpiece!
Wardruna and Heilung... Are different. Don't get why people compare them so often.
@@anotherone4188 They werent comparing them, they just said they listened to them when in forests.
@@anotherone4188 I agree they use different tools. But they are just different streams from the same source. Both highly sophisticated and immersive.
@@Esradel one genre maybe (with some exceptions) , but different atmosphere, different sense of music. In forests can listen whatever you want, it doesn't mean that that bands might be similar. Anyways, only my opinion.
@@anotherone4188 if you actually READ the comment, he wasn’t comparing them... just saying that he listened to both while hiking.
I cannot listen to Wardruna songs in the presence of other people because my eyes start crying.
Wardruna's masterpieces touch something deep inside my soul, which doesn't want to live the life of the office worker :-)
Hello. My music is quite good. Is it ok with you?
same here!
Then don't be a office worker.
@@TheErilaz I am 34, father, speak four languages and earn money doing office paperwork. But I am not bad at caring of aquariums, riding motorcycles, DIY and philosophizing. Now I try to find how I can apply these skills to earn money for living )))
no shame in tears
I went to a Wardruna concert 1 year ago in Milan.
This was the first song they played. When I first heard the raven, I started crying. A lot. I think I cried for the whole concert.
This is probably one of the best experience I ever had in my life.
Ty so much.
(Also thanks to my dear friend who brought me there, lysm)
I cried reading this ❤
I'm crying right now.@@jenngreen462
This comment also made me cry. ❤
The woman's vocals are so powerful and haunting. This awakens something deep inside.
Lindy Fay Hella, you should listen to her :).
Especially in the song "isa"
@@jordanmariani1897 "Isa" literally breaks me every time I listen to it.. I don't know why.. I got tears in my eyes and shivers down my spine e v e r y t i m e .. it doesn't matter if I play it on repeat 100 times.. it's SO powerful.. so majestic.. truly a masterpiece
Did you know:
white ravens are actually more common than you think. Most white ravens aren't actually albino, they have something called leucism which takes a lot of their pigmentation, but not all. Because of this, the mother will either throw it out of the nest or kill it, and the few who make it to adulthood are shunned by other ravens and have almost no chance of ever mating because of their color. (plus they typically have blue eyes.)
Crows also exhibit leucism to varying degrees, regionally, as well. The trait is becoming more common in wildlife, what remains of it, and may be correlated to climate change.
"Because of this, the mother will either throw it out of the nest or kill it, and the few who make it to adulthood are shunned by other ravens and have almost no chance of ever mating because of their color"
Fucking nature man. Brutal
Something to add is that ravens aren't actually black - to other ravens atleast. Their feathers are iridescent and since ravens (and birds in general) have a wider spectrum of visible colors they look entirely different to one another than what we perceive. Since any pigmentation change might mess up the whole scheme, it's hard for us to know exactly how alien a white raven looks a raven.
@@johannes4271 Yes.
Avians, reptiles, insects/arachnids, and a very small, select number of mammals (caribou and other deer species in the northern hemisphere) have vision evolved to perceive the world through the UV light spectrum. Primates and likely most other mammals cannot.
This makes me want to keep an eye on every Raven's nest in the entire world simultaneously to make sure any and ALL white Ravens can be rescued for all eternity and make their own little raven tribe somewhere.
Scandinavian culture, the language, their legends, their forests and mountains... they are so gorgeous and inspiring. Beautiful, just beautiful...
Yes but here in the United States people of Scandinavian heritage are told we have no culture.
@@user-kk7jq2rp1s That's just wrong and stupid, I hope some time this ceases to happen.
God is king. Keep going. Dont stop. Reufuse to kneel and find yourself.@@user-kk7jq2rp1s
During a dark period of my life their music helped keep me afloat
I'm deep in a dark period and they're keeping me afloat. I hope you're doing better.
Man every Wardruna song is like a whole trip
Nice seeing you here ;)
Every Wardruna video is Scandinavians going outside and touching grass.
Which is fine because I really wish I could do that right now.
Unique and so powerfull!! Almost Every song talks to my soul.
100% the greatest part of the song
@Eren Cox I'm not white enough for that and I find heathens to be cringe.
I'm Hispanic nowhere near Scandinavian and this is the most beautiful masterpiece I have ever heard in my life spoke to my soul and idk why I feel like Im homesick for a place I have never been.
" .. Hispanic .. " ... hm, .. ?
Mexican native mix with Spain/ North African Barber with a touch of Arab or Slav from the Vandal migration ? Or Puerto Rico ?
Work with basic music vocal rifts of , " Do .. Ra .. Me, Fa'h La'h So Do Me," or work on throat singing at different notes before bed. Deep sounds are Earth melody and higher pitch are Air melodies. And think of times when you were as a child having happy moments with your parents and grand parents, it will lead to .. strange .. dreams.
@@lbrtrdth Here is a short list, ..
a.) When " awake " you have a family get together with your family and their older friends. In dream state there is .. way .. more .. people in the house. Like most families people have good fun picking on other members doing short imitation humor acts on each other's behavior. So when you are awake you do a quick joke imitating someone else's behavior in the act, and few people in the group start talking about one of their friends or dead family members use tell that joke almost that very same way.
b.) Songs link us to our extended family pass, songs are share cultural tradition that unite us with or ancestors. On my dad's mother's side of the family they are Dutch/ Irish, so us 15 years old got some language tapes to learn how to do those accents and practice chanting the Catholic's Lord's Prayer with really bad Irish/ Dutch accents for a couple of months.
For the pass year we grew our own grain & fruit, age the wine and brew and age the beer, with the passing of that winter snow packed the drink to have the cold part the alcohol into whisky the old way. Early Celts that were recent Christianize but still keep their old traditions did not have hemp to smoke but the did have magic mushrooms. Best part our grand parents let us trip our balls off doing a Catholic pagan rite in old accents.
During that time we still had plenty people around from the Great Depression and fought through WW II. They said other than the mushrooms their dad's & grand fathers did pass the whisky bottle around a prayer circle at church. But they never saw a prayer circle begin at sunset and last till sunrise before with young men drumming their chest in union. Those who saw, heard the story about it, and those who spread rumors regarding it said we were weird. And some though we were really cool.
We got some " hate " for the .. shameful way .. we did a Christian rite and told That is Not the way to prayer to Jesus/ God. But for the next month we started talking, acting, and singing gospel music the way our school's teachers grand parents did. Then I started having dreams on being around farms and talking about details that my grand parents never told me about and working in a bakery my German great grand father worked it before marrying the owners daughter being my mom's grand mother. My grand dad was a bit shocked and impressed, since he never talked about the details of his early childhood running around the bakery cause the adults told him to get out of the way and to stay out of trouble.
But my grandpa already knew his father spirit was coming and his house telling his grand children stories about the bakery.
Four year old asking after talking to their imaginary friend, " Grandpa, who did this ?
c.) Back in the 1980's when I was nine years old I had to live with my mom in Florida and she drag us children to a South Baptist Church cult. After hearing for a month that Jesus still loved me despite being a Cuban which them always reminded me of, my Sunday school class mates pointed out to the teachers that my last name is the capitol city of the island of Sicily. Then they tried to make me believe that my Italian grand parents were going to hell cause they are Catholics.
I told them I am .. Sicilian, not Italian and they should go and learn some history. I got paddle for that. At lest once a month I got paddle for one reason or another till my mom decided to move back north to her parents when I was 11 during spring break.
Also " that church " taught that grand parents don't look down and watch their children from Heaven but sleep in the grave till Christ second coming. Ghost of dead family members where demons to lead astray Christians from God to the devil. Some even pushed that imaginary friends were also demons so parents had to be watchful of over active imagination of children. How or Why a few hundred people who went to that church believe or put up with that level of bullcrap is beyond me.
Didn't help that at school or out in public I had a problem of talking to strangers or people that were not there. Unlike what a lot of " psychics " or mystics say about seeing spirits or ghosts, I could not tell the difference between the living or the dead as a child. And I hated getting paddled at church. As a teenager and an adult I do not practice magic or preform it in public. Strange things just happen around me, where people just disregard it as their imagination. I look at most things in life as a Buddhist. Just work on being calm and relax with being chill.
I'm Hispanic & part Scandinavian and North African. I love listening to Heilung and Wardruna, they are certainly a beautiful masterpiece.
Souls travel around the world.
Indo-European root codes. Common ancestry. Relax into it and spend all the time you can in nature friend. Tread surely on the path.
His voice. The power. The instruments. Powerful. Awakens the ancient songs of my ancestors deep within my marrow.
My ancestry has no Nordic blood but this is warrior music. Every fighter can feel it.
In my homeland there is an old saying: "it's rare like a white raven". This song is just like that. It's rare that anybody makes a song this beautiful as it is.
this song is not just music, it is healing for my broken heart and strayed soul.

I agree brother i recently found out of a woman who broke my heart but was just blaming everything on me, I stayed cause I though she could change. But there are just somethings that are just meant to be. I definitely relate to your comment
I'm Mediterranean, but nothing hits the soul and spirit like Nordic music. Nothing gets even close.

I'm mediterranian too (spanish) and I feel a deep connection with this music.
Is not about the origins, is about the spirit. And I say that because my wife has russian origins and she doesn't like this kind of music.
@@gessnermatt nope🤣
This was the first song I've heard from Wardruna, around the time when it came out. I wish I knew them earlier, but I believe everything happens when and as it should. I was lost my whole life, I couldn't be myself and I didn't really know who I was. Einar's music came into my life the right time.
Of course, I have a friend, who is still with me and guides me through my journey, and I must mention this person too, because without him also I couldn't heal.
But I needed Wardruna, and I still need them. Einar will never know, how he saved my life and showed me how to find my purpose. I can only thank him in my heart.
Next month I'm getting my first tattoo, Wardruna's rune, to a place where it'll cover up the very first scars from the past. It'll guard me and remind me to respect myself and that I found my path. There's still long way to go, and Aurora has also been a lifesaver to me, and now Gealdyr's music helps me too taking the next steps. But Wardruna and Einar will always have a special place in my life. Aaand I'm tearing up. :)
Thank you, Einar.
Wow thats a harsh story, glad its going better
This will come as a cheesy answer, Im on Remeron, Cipralex, Imovane, Sobril, but the best thing you can do is to train. Go for a long walk in the woods with high tempo listen to your best music.. Begin jogging after a few days. Keep that up for some weeks, it will do wonders
You are a Viking that is why brother skål:)
Their music saved me too. If my spirit could sing it would sing this song.
I had that when i discovered Heilung, that band led me to Wadruna. It's sometimes when you don't expect, it hits the hardest.
Let yourself heal brother.
There's no other group that sounds like magic itself. They are so cool!
The last shot with the raven coming down to Einar was instant goosebumps.
@Kyle Przelenski, I really wanted him to capture the beautiful raven, but then... perhaps this is the best outcome.
Making one think and create their own 'ending'. Yes?
It's fascinating. When you watch it for the first time your focus is mostly on that outer layer, barely seeing what's underneath. Then you watch it a second time, this time noticing more detail - both in the music and in the video. Then you watch it for the third, fourth and more times, each time reaching the next, deeper layer of the message. And each of them is as surprising and enjoyable as a Christmas gift. So I'm sitting in front of the screen, with a silly look on my face, clicking the button "play" again and again...but in this moment I don't want to be anywhere else. Thank you for that!
Same !
Yes, that's how human perception works. First time is always with critical eyes, every try after that is more about feeling. Which is why songs that sound horrible the first time, eventually get better the more you listen to them.
I am 1/4 Norwegian on my mother's father's side, and this group's music calls to me, deeper than anything else I have known...
I feel the same way
american moment
@@edgygohan6452 Yes American moment... the thing with us Americans and our obsession with our ancestry is that our country is such a melting pot there is no true American heritage that isn't indigenous and obviously those of us who aren't indigenous people have zero claim to that, rightfully. We all long to feel like we fit somewhere and many of us don't ever feel "quite right" or connected in any way, then we discover our roots and suddenly it opens a whole new world to us of "belonging" to something much deeper than this impersonal melting pot of a little bit of every single culture, the vast majority of which we white European descendants are not welcome or allowed to participate in.
@@jennaleonard876
Note: I use Gemrany as an example because, well, I'm German.
The majority of you are not "welcome to participate" in European culture because you're not European. You're American. Simple as that.
For one, the majority of you have never even been to the countries you claim as your own. Y'all rarely speak the language and know next to nothing about the actual culture and the little bits you do know tends to be the overly cliché/stereotypical stuff shown in movies. You can't claim to be German when the only things you know about Germany are Hitler, pretzels and Lederhosen.
Which brings me to my next point: The majority of you treat "European" culture like it's one big organism when it couldn't be further from the truth. Take Germany for example. We've got large cultural differences between our 16 states and even within them. Hell, we've even got a handful of different ethnicities and languages here.
I've seen Americans talk about how proud they are of being German and how much they love aspects of the German culture that are solely found in Bavaria... which is funny, seeing as their ancestor supposedly came from the fucking north of Germany.
Being interested in your family's past is one thing, but running around and claiming your 1/4 German is in another league of its own. I mean... do y'all think we didn't have a mixing of cultures like that? The likelihood of meeting anyone that's 100% German, Polish or Italian is slim to none. Most Eastern Germans have at least one Polish or Russian ancestor and they'd still not claim to be either.
And that's ignoring the fact that, just like in the US, a good chunk of our larger cities have separate cultural identities of their own because they're also multicultural melting pots.
Aside from that, American culture IS a thing outside of the multicultural hot-spots. If you'd actually bother with the countryside and rural areas you'd find plenty of places with their own unique little quirks. Like... what do you think Thanksgiving is? The 4th of July? That's part of YOUR national identity. That IS part of the culture. Hell, language is a massive part of culture and y'all got plenty of unique dialects and even languages over there. For example, Texas-German is a thing. lol
It's not like you can't be interested in learning more about the places your family originally came from... but there's a difference between being German and ascending from Germans. Meaning: Instead of saying "I'm 1/4 German", you should say "My ancestors are from Germany".
Lastly, I want to add that, personally, I don't particularly mind when Americans show an interest in learning more about their ancestors origin. It's always fun to explain typically German stuff to them and a joy to see someone show an interest in our language but the way some of y'all present yourself matters a lot and has definitely influenced the publics perception. Too many people I've talked to had to deal with Americans claiming a cultural identity as their own when their presentation couldn't have been more ignorant/arrogant.
I bet you're not fun at parties @@Erika.Jupiter
I have never heard a MORE beautiful piece of music.
Hello. My music is quite good. Is it ok with you?
You guys never disappoint me, especially with the voice of Einar. You gave me goosebumps once again and the feeling of connection to the spirits of the North!
it's amazing the deep magic that creates their music, they transmit legendary emotions every time!

Can feel this song even in the deepest areas of my soul. And i feel it with every millimeter of my body. This is definitely more than just music...
Reinkarnation
Usually it is Einar's incredible vocals which dominate Wardruna's songs, but here Lindy simply shines!
People stating that they hail from countries outside of Scandinavia wondering how and why the connect to this song and other art of Wardruna: music is a universal human language and this is such a stunning example of the power of humanity.
No matter where we are from, everyone can come together and appreciate any kind of music. Wardruna are aware of this, which is why we are fortunate to hear them freely on the Internet and see them live in many countries.
You good speaking

I have listened to Heilung before, and found this video on the recommended bar. Pretty cool as well!
The videography on this is just stunning. Whoever was in charge of picking the location to film this was brilliant.
My gods it does not matter what religious tradition you follow, this song speaks from the heart in the same way our ancestors did.
could not have said it better myself.
It does matter. Where has relativism got you.
@@BLEACHED777 A lot further than absolutism ever did. We're all humans having a human experience and we all see things in different ways. What I get out of spiritual traditions can be completely different than what you do from identical traditions. Monolithic thought is madness.
A perfect self-portrait song of Einar, the greatest artist of our time. Lindy-Fay's costume is so gorgeous, it reminds me of Yennefer of Vengerberg.
🖤
Exactly what i was thinking, about the costume :)
"Einar, the greatest artist of our time" - My thoughts exactly
Funfact for those not aware, Kvitrafn used to be Einars stagename way back when he used to bang the drums for the black metal band Gorgoroth.
And some might not know that Gaahl also from Gorgoroth used to sing in Wardruna also. 😀
Yes!! But why was KVITRAFN and NOT KVITRAVN?
@@nikonattramn , I think rafn was the Old norse way to say/write ravn/raven, and if I'm not mistaken, they still say rafn in icelandic.
Wardruna are the biz! More please! Don't you dare stop these magnificent creations!
When I am ill, I meditate and I see the White Ravens eat the illness. Thank you for a wonderful song of honor. I discovered in 2006 my great grandparents came to USA from Sweden. I feel connected with your music. Thank you
I've been meaning to try and meditate more lately anyway. Maybe it'll work for mental illness as well. May your spirit be lifted on white wings. May mine as well. 😢
There. Another thing I can add to the list of things I am grateful for. If I **had** taken my life four years ago, I'd never have discovered Wardruna, Heilung, Shireen, Skald, and so many others in this genre. I'd never have even discovered this genre at all.
Sorry, I know that's dark, but yesterday was the "anniversary", and I lost the best job I'd ever had 5 days ago, so it's been on my mind a lot, lately. So I've been trying to remind myself that there are many reasons to be glad I'm still here.

Its a cowards way out.
Too much self identification.
Play your part until your
lines are spoken and you
have taken the final bow.
As a Norwegian myself, let me tell you, listening to this on my earbuds/ipod as well as many other songs by this magnificent band while walking through the woods just outside Bergen, the thorough experience cannot be put to words. I imagine this works just the same with others who have done the same. This music is magic, and speaks directly to the heart and soul.
Pagan magic, brother.
I took 250ugrms of very good LSD alongside my friends and we went to a friend's mountain house.
We had torches and walked through the sunset into the night and then back to the house, listening to this song and others from wardruna, danheim and the like... Magic.
Dude. How's life in Bergen? Where can we talk? I wanna move there.
I live in the US, but my great grandparents and back came from Bergen. Maybe that’s why this connects with me just like it does with you.
As a Swede I can agree with you. I feel very Norwegian listening to this. Haha. Best shit ever brother.
well this left me speechless for a few minutes ... Outstanding, shook me to my core
I am From Sri Lanka and I have Been Listening to Warduna and Danhelm for a long time. Nordic culture is an amazing, May everyone experience the Guidance from the All Father.
Cheers from Sweden. THis music speaks to me as well.
Words can't describe how much I love Wardruna's work. It's truly out of this world. Thanks so much for lifting up my soul again and agian. ♥
For the people who doesn't know this, Kvitravn was Einar Selvik's artistic name when he was drummer in the black metal band "Gorgoroth".
Interesting, I did not know there was a Gorgoroth connection; I listen to a lot of black metal, but have never really listened to them
@@evilemuempire9550 Yeah man, also Gaahl, de ex vocalist of Gorgoroth was a wardruna member too
@@BasajaunMM Cool! I knew there was a lot of connections between the two genres, but I did not know that
Norway and it's musical magic...interesting to learn this.
@@vetrecaGOD Yeah man...
WOW... SERIOUS GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to even understand anything it's still beyond empowering. I cannot describe all kind of feelings I get from this.
I am a Russian from Siberia , and I really admire your creation ! All the best and peace in the world !
If you are interested in Nordic music, I strongly recommend you to look at this music though... :)

Einar's voice at 5:20...what an incredible way to start a day. Goosebump-raising, mesmerizing, magical. Wardruna creates music to feed the soul.
Kvitravn has been my favourite song for over a year now, I've listened to it well over a hundred times and i never ever get bored of it, this song gets more and more beautiful every time I listen to it, the same goes for many other songs by wardruna.
Hello. My music is quite good. Is it ok with you?
Still coming back to this song almost 2 years after posting this comment, its amazing
I like to imagine that Wardruna's videos are just a National Geographics film team following Kvitravn around, documenting his daily routines.
This just appeared on my TH-cam screen. The Gods knew what my soul needed. This is life changing. Not joking.
I doubt that anyone here will either disagree or not understand what you mean
Lol, the youtube algorithms are God now too?
@@_Abra_Kadabra_ A tool of the Gods, not just one who is hopelessly overworked doing everything for everyone. ;)
allah akper
I was moved to tears. This song is absolutely what my heathen soul needed. I immediately felt "Vindavla" vibes when I heard the first notes. Thank you Einar and for the gifts that the gods have bestowed upon you. Fly high Kvitravn 🙏
Thank you Wardruna, for being one of the few really bright lights in my life. I know I can always listen to your music and take in its beauty.
As a scandinavian/Swede this song is really pure, truely captures our ancient culture and makes me love the nature and land I live and was born in.
Really capture me as a viking history and norse mythology geek too xd
My Uncle choose this to be played as we entered his funeral, such a powerful song for a powerful man. RIP Uncle Mark, your spirit will always be within this magical piece of music. Releasing your freedom again from such a cruel illness.
Requiescat In Pace
@@canoestothemoon Thank you 🙏🏻

Wardruna is one of the bands that I wanted to find, their music is beautiful and introduces so much to the Scandinavian atmosphere that no matter what I think, I always direct all my thoughts to this band and to Scandinavia and the Nordic culture that I am so fascinated with.
If you like Wardruna, listen to Danheim, Fuimadane, Faun and Skald.
Salut from Romania, you did an unforgettable show yesterday at Sibiu Artmania festival! :) It was raining a bit but we all felt like at a viking warrior ritual, I was ready to march after this music, but I only managed to march to get more beer :))
I listened to and sang this song under the full moon tonight. This song is so magical!
как же красиво! вы лучшие. Музыка ваша как гипноз
идеальное сравнение! их музыка изменяет вашу совесть, и вы по-настоящему очарованы!
Підтримую!
Все верно, шаманские ритуалы древней Скандинавии зачастую направлены на достижение гипнотического состояния.
Согласен
А никто не в курсе, в каких местах России клип снимали?
I put this song on my phone, put my earbuds in my ears, started walking outside last night in the snowing cold without a jacket. This song warmth my soul. This song lifted my spirits, i felt my old gypsy blood boiling inside of me. This song is going to be special for many people for many different reasons. If a song can do this for you, it’s a masterpiece. Thank you Wardruna!
Can't agree more, it's very beautiful, speaks to my soul.
So how is your cold going?
If you are interested in Nordic music, I strongly recommend you to look at this music though... :)

Agree with you....it's 3 in the morning and I just went out in my garden while there's a cold bora wind blowing like hell and I'm walking through my garden with only a cotton t-shirt and a pair of light pajamas trousers and barefoot 🙈 I see my neighbor yelling at me from the house next to mine 😂 maybe she thinks I'm mad
@@OskarCremonesi you're right❤️
Beautiful 😇
i am from Ayiti (haiti) your drums moves the spirit of my ancestors BILOLO💙👑❤️
I am Belgian and live in St-Petersburg where I feel at home, but Wardruna's music feels like an ancient call to me. I'm French-speaking Belgian of Flemish origins, which means I'm Celtic. Vercingetorix, the last Gaul, I feel is my ancestor.
I liked the part from 0:00 to 6:28
Me too, Osama! 😂
You alive bruh?
I thought you died a long time ago
Усама ты жив!
@@rohitb405 ...just a photoshopped obama😂🤣
I'm glad I grew up around nature & forests & the like... I live rurally in Canada & often find myself going for late night walks in the forests by my house & Wardruna has become the soundtrack to my life. Hail the allfather.
The allfather doesnt wish for prayers, just live a life of respect thats worth dying for.
AL TheDude to hail the all father, is to hail oneself and ancestors before and after you.. live an honourable life.. and Valhalla will welcome you home
@@2189fallenangel only warriors go to Valhalla
RY_of The_fallen11247 and what did I say to discourage warriors? A warrior can be a broad idea, and depends on an individual’s view.. as well as the All, which sees all versions of you inside and out.
How would you classify a warrior ?
@@2189fallenangel Only those who die in battle go to Valhalla (or Fólkvangr). I can see what you’re saying but just being a warrior doesn’t mean you go to Valhalla. A warrior could die at an old age or of an illness, which prevents him from going to Valhalla or Fólkvangr.
I'm not from Norway nor do I descend from it, but this song is an incredible emblem of Norwegian culture. I would love to see you guys at Eurovision, you would tear it apart.
Takk Wardruna ❤
I cried during this song at the concert. It's magical. I think this is how people feel about believing in God. I'm speechless, emotional, happy, and awake. This is the best feeling!
Великолепно, как всегда
Просто глоток свежего воздуха
полностью поддерживаю!
Again.. Another piece of pure ART! Wardruna is becoming more and more amazing every time... love it
there is so much power within this song. if you really listen and really pay attention....it's damn near life changing...
Truth was said in that sentence.
I remember that rainy summer day in 2009 when I first listened to Runaljod. That was a very rare kind of magic. Even if u r totally wet from rain but still moving to the rhytm of Wardruna. Nothing really exists around. It's only you and raw energy of nature. Right now I'm here listening to Kvitravn and crying through the night. I think it's the most precious kind of art. Dark colours, nature, melancholy... It's like a spell that was forgotten long long time ago. When people were close to their true energy & abilities, wisdom...again magic..
Lindy's voice is divine..
Everything Wardruna makes is so spiritually moving in a way that cannot be explained. It’s just something you feel.
Сила севера! Мрачно и эпично! Слушается на одном дыхании...
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Точно
Север для настоящих сильных духом людей
Love Ravens. They have the intelligence of a two year old human child ❤
well, no - if u ever had a raven or crow u would know they are smarter than that. A little kid that age could not act as clever as a raven sometimes does...
Я поражена тем, сколько русских и украинцев слушают эту волшебную музыку! Почему вас нет в моем окружении, ребята?)) Почему вокруг меня одни только рокеры да реперы?) Где вас искать?))
Эйнар и команда, как всегда, своей музыкой находят путь к самым глубоким чувствам в моей душе. Я так рада, что вы продолжаете творить! Неповторимые. Навсегда в моем сердце!
Я слушаю рок и металл. Но эта музыка для меня тоже безумно важна. Не надо мыслить такими стереотипами. Мир куда сложнее, чем вам кажется
Я здесь !) 😀
Мы рядом но, в то же время так далеки!
И не говорите, вокруг в основном только любители попсы, недорепа, моргенштернов и т.п., да даже любителей рока (в моем окружении) не так уж много, а уж что касательно такой завораживающей музыки тем более, а жаль((
Для меня эта музыка безумно важна - она нечто особенное . Однажды когда мне было очень плохо , мой на то время будущий муж, дал мне послушать Raido и мне стало намного легче . Я почему - то ревела неделю . Просто у меня недавно умерла мама , и я тогда закрылась от всего мира . Наверное если бы не эта музыка меня на этом свете не было бы уже давно . Огромное спасибо Эйнару и группе Wardruna за их творчество . В нашем грязном мире очень мало такой чистой душевной музыки . Творите еще - очищайте мир- дарите желание жить и дышать дальше -- МЫ ВАС ЛЮБИМ!!!!
Ach ist das Herrlich, ich Liebe eure Musik, als würde man davon schweben, die Stimme einfach der Wahnsinn. Da taucht man ab in andere Dimensionen ♥️
Du hast es auf den Punkt gebracht!
Stimme zu
Es ist, als ob sie dich durchdringt und durch alle fasern deines Seins fließen würde
genau so :-) , Gänsehaut....
Deutsche Übersetzung/German translation:
Weißer Rabe
In der Dämmerung
Lädt dich ein
Weißer Rabe
Versteckt und verweilend
Lass mich fragen!
Leih mir eine Feder
Ich werde sie verwandeln
in weiße Flügel
Lass uns fliegen
weit im Wind
mit suchendem Geist
und verzaubernden Liedern
Lass mich fragen!
Leih mir deine Weitsicht
Lass mich blicken
In Nebelschwaden
Lass mich fragen!
Lehre mich das Lied
das mich lockt... das dich lockt
das dich findet... das mich findet
Wirst du mir folgen
in allen Zeiten?
Wirst du mich behüten
in allen Zeiten?
Kraftvogel
Gab mir die Flügel
Weißer Rabe
Gab mir den Weitblick
Magische Krähe
Gab mir das Lied
Weiße Flügel
Folgt mir
This strikes a chord in the soul, then you do a genetic test and you find out why.
My young son is enchanted by what I call Viking music.
The chills i get from this music is unlike anything else.
Die Magie reißt einen mit.
Die Emotionen sind außer Kontrolle.
Ich laß mich fallen und fliege mit dem weißen Raben.
Wadruna, die Stimme tief im Herzen 🐉💚
Благодарю вас от всего сердца за проделанную работу, создатели шедевра. Жду новых встреч в России❤
I don't understand a word, yet this song is so well done that i don't need to.
The instruments in this song are literally insane!!!! I LOVE it!
Another masterpiece!!!!
No doubt about that! :)
As always

but it will be destroyed, all. the path will be set and this was mere. the true is coming and is was only a distraction, a hopeless push.
I don't know my heritage exactly, but this sounds like voices of my ancestors. It feels like home - unbelivable!
Then you probably got Germanic blood in you. The forests of Scandinavia is waiting for you
Take your parents last names and go digging through the plethora of information that is out there! Its a fascinating journey to discover who your family were before your recent relatives existed! Let me tell you I love the sound of bagpipes, and is part of my Scottish Heritage. And when people tell me they hate the sound I don't argue I just tell them its because it was the last sound their ancestors heard before marching to their death! hahaha ;) Peace to you
As far as I know I have no Nordic ancestry, but Wardruna touch something deep inside me. Like a life I've forgotten. This song and Raido are almost ethereal to me, like they transport me somewhere else. I still speak very little Norwegian, but even so, it's like I intrinsically know what is being said. Truly incredible.
@@sweezy-nightmasta Where do you live and how far back do you know about your familys History? :)
Best wishes to all people of Norway🇳🇴
I had an honor to hear Wardruna live 12 hours ago :)
man, I love this band. I literally cried when they had a concert in Zagreb, Croatia.
That womans voice is stunning. I really like how She is just letting it out with such passion! Thank you for this. To all of you who have made it possible and brought this to our world :) Blessed.
Saw these guys live in October, they opened with this song with some of the visuals on behind the stage in an otherwise black auditorium. A single spotlight was illuminating the musician with bowed instrument (idk its name) and at 1:23 when the rest of the song drops in, the stage illuminated. Goosebumps, one of the most life affirming performances I have ever seen.
in DC??we were there also:):):):) badass!

I am not Norse nor do I believe I have descendants from this era. I am Dominican and Italian, but this music speaks to me in ways I cannot explain. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I get chills listening to this. And it’s not a phase either. I discovered wadruna/Norse music in 2013 and still to this day, I can say, this is the only music I can listen to it and truly feel in my bones.
Perhaps you've some Langobardi in you!
you don't have to be norse. if your spirit connects that is all that matters, im a gael norse and dream of indian music and deities , ive no idea why but i will go with the flow, we are all brothers and sisters at end of the day like it or lump it xxx
@@nadiamurchie1949 Agreed.
An emotional or even intellectual connection need not be conveyed by genetics alone.
Explore, learn, and find that soul niche! Don't let anything deter you. 🙂
@@nadiamurchie1949 well said
I am Sicilian. My wife is Scandanavian. This music is the heritage of my children. Epic. FULL STOP.
This has become my morning prayer everyday and damn warduna make me want to really start planning to move to norway and learn more and more about the ancient Nordic culture, thank you so much for giving me a path and a calling for peace ❤️
