How rare it is for a live version of any song to be better than the studio version. This is an excellent exception.
She is an angel!
Everyone should feel this song as much as the drummer does.
As a 57 years old grumpy old man, I get tears in my eyes over this song = not normal
If Dimash and Eivor sang a song together in concert, I think we would collectively ascend to heavenly realms.
Omg! Yes!!!!!!
I also thought about a duet with Einar from Leprous....it would be sensational!
So, what is wrong with the human race that this doesn't have a hundred trillion views? Just asking.
😮😮
The answer is simple and bad: the music industry is conducting our interests.
That's simple. Not everyone likes this type of music!
What’s wrong: Everything. Not all the time, not everyone, but fundamentally: everything 😢
maybe some are not really human
I want this song played at my wedding, funeral, & afterlife.
Come here for your weddinf, funeral abd afterlufe.
Me too.
omg, yes!
Couldn't have said it better.
you and me both
Still crying over this? Anyone else?
Can I like this indefinite times?
I just found Eivor and I am completely blown away. This may be my favorite artist/performance of all time. And I am 66 years old. But the heart is ageless my friends 💓
I am 61 and feel the same way 💕 Such talent and such a beautiful voice.
100th like here! It's just incredibly beautiful and timeless music eh?
I pity those who haven't heard it!
We never become old we just grow old.
i could kiss you for your commentary❣️🌙🤩🌟💫🕯❣️
I'm 60 and knocked out. What a voice, what a dramatic performance/arrangement and what a voice! I know I said voice twice but it's transcendent. What is it about small, arctic islands that produce iconic singers? Respect.
When I hear her sing I can only imagine it must be what the Angels sound like . every song I have listened to transcends my heart and heals the soul .
That note she sings at the end is the most beautiful note sung by anybody......... ever. Such a powerful song.
yes
It gave me goosebumps! There are very few songs which do that!
@Redington931 it gets me before she even sings it. Just knowing it's going to happen gives me full on goosey b's.
If she were a siren, there would not be a single sailor alive on the ocean, ever.
Her live stream... Song for Siren... Just listen - th-cam.com/video/K81evroODNQ/w-d-xo.html
Agreed
Yes. I also would have fell victim.........THAT VOICE!!!
That’s weird you said Siren because when I came across her , this song , Siren came to mind , seriously , she captivated me
Oh yeah. Lol.
her voice is like transporting you to a different realm
Many years ago I would listen to music, get lost in it and feel emotions. I got old and cynical, tried not to do that, so I could get through one day after another. Then, there is a voice that wrenches me out of my blankness. Suddenly I am just weeping, because I can not hold on any more. A brilliant brilliant woman used her voice, it is her, but I think she is channeling goddesses too.
If you are actually reading this nonsense Eivor, know that you inspired one real person to love music again.
Brother, I use music to get through my day. I am so glad you've found it. And I don't believe it's just music. Songs like this work on a deep level. They heal. If you don't believe me, go look at Coke Studio videos of Sufi Singers. The comments are all Indians and Pakistanis expressing their love for each other because of the music. Your tears are a form of healing. I feel ecstatic states, close to god when I listen to...divine music like this, or the Sufis or Dimyti Soul. So nice you are on your musical journey.
The entire world is much more beautiful now
The voice, the music, goosebumps and another plain! Need to see this live....
Most criminally underated artists in my opinion.
This liveversion is a masterpiece that everyone should discover and enjoy.
Totally agree. This is genius. What a great live performance. There is nothing close to how good this is at the present time. A true genius and voice of an angel. Dave Fielding. Xx
Ordinarily, I don't care for live performances, but... this woman is magic.
I haven't left my house for 2.5 yrs.
You said it. This is pure genius musical artistry.
Agree at 200%
This is music. She is music.
This is insane… even my goosebumps have goosebumps 😳
That’s one of the most beautiful and haunting things i ever heard in my 55 years.
That's exactly how I felt the first time I heard Eivor, perfect description 🙂
and my tears have tears
À stand up ovation ! You said it very well. The most haunting voice accompanied by performance and feelings into the songs 🙌
Yes it is haunting but have you never listened to Kate Bush?
@@clivematthews5296 Yes, and also to Tori Amos. And now what? :)
I badly miss someone when I heard this song
She is a force of nature.
I have had the privilege to see her perform this live.
I couldn't help crying and wished the show would never end.
The best concert I've seen in my 50 years
Don't think too much about yesterday, don't expect to much for tomorrow, just breath and live today.
How is it possible??? It makes the gods shiver and the strongest human cry! It is like an orgasm for the ears, with a mixture of suffering and a lot of love that penetrates any soul. As the music plays, my mind travels through time and immerses itself in sad and loving memories. May her voice be eternal and echo in the souls that most need love.
That's one of the best comment so far.
Yeah ! an "eargasm"...
Dang right!!
❤️
Thankyou
The voice, the musicians, the passion, the incredible way it was filmed, the crescendo, in every way, this video is a masterpiece.
god, that last note leaves me without words
Ich bin auch Ü50 ! Ich höre es jetzt schon eine Weile ! So eine geniale Stimme , bin jedesmal überwältigt 😢
Es holt mich immer wieder aus meiner Verzweiflung heraus 😊
Und ich sehe Sie bald live !
Ich freue mich schon sehr 😅
It has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed. Ever.
She has a remarkable voice. I have only heard two others with this range and purity. The legendary Kate Bush and Suzanne Sundfor. I will have to add Ms.Eivor to my list of love's. I tracked her down because of The Last Kingdom music.
This has to be one of the most, if not the most, beautiful songs I've heard in my life up to this point. The way the song builds and intensifies then drops off again at the end. HER VOICE. Thank you to the Great Spirit for giving her that voice and letting her share it with us. This song is so ethereal and makes me feel so many things at once. Sorrow, Peace, Love, Hopeful, etc. Just amazing. Thank you Eivor for this blessing of a song.
Think it’s the most powerful song/performance I ever heard
Listen to her song "Trodabundin", find the video where she is singing in a fjord in Norway. Amazing. Bring tears to my eyes every time.
If you love music that touches you, check out Dimash singing SOS. I cried for days.❤
Tripped and fell into this rabbit hole! wow. Where am I? this is beautiful!
As a blackmetal musican since 25 or more years I must say that this is one of the best performences I`ve ever seen. Eivor is just fantastic! Cheers:)
Someone who is an opeth fan boy and I love this kind of stuff
I think any true metal head appreciates skill and talent.
@@metalhedp8ntbll I support this, I'm coming from Black Metal and I really like Eivør
Metalheads appreciate good music
I can’t even comprehend how 97 people can dislike this. This is the most incredible live performance I have ever heard! I can’t help but blare it every single day!
Their eyes were welling up with tears at the beauty of it and accidentally hit the dislike button...I mean...that's literally the only reason I can think of
some people aren't happy unless they are hating,
Kids on drugs
I can completely understand why someone wouldn't like the music, people have different tastes. What I'll never understand is why they feel it necessary to click the dislike button...
@@ThePereubu1710 100% agree. I think they must be in a bad place. Hurt people want to hurt people, I guess...
This is the performance that made me a fan.
One of the best music vids on YT
SERIOUSLY THIS IS WAYYYYY BETTER THAN THE STUDIO VERSION!!!!!
agree, want her to record it!! ;)
She's releasing a live album with this version on it. Just FYI :)
Which one
Yes!
When a song is like this, is better than the studio version, then how amazing is this artist! Seriously talented!
A voice this beautiful LIVE, is rare. This is incredible.
67 years under this belt. Jan. 2024. First time. Luv it. Thanks utube. ❤
HOW in the world does this not have millions of views? Come on Internet you are letting her down. Get your act together.
how about we just enjoy her as a secret and let the morons keep on with billi and britney and cristina
She is like a hidden gem.
She's getting closer! Roughly 10views from me on top....and I discovered this yesterday :-)
@@danielrinobravo "how about we just enjoy her as a secret and let the morons keep on with billi and britney and cristina"
I don't get this line of thinking. I'd want as many people as possible to discover beautiful music like this, if nothing else to help out Eivør.
TH-cam algorithms are biased and want to feed you commercial American crap.
The greatest female voice I have ever heard!!!!
kent hotchkiss :
Yes, mine , too.
World class. One of the most recognizable voices in the world. Ranks up there with Morissette, Diana Akuninova, Park Ki young, Lara Fabian. She’s still giving concerts all around the world. No one better.
Al
@@alfogel3298 Damn fine list you have there Al. Glad to see Diana's name included. Compliments on your tastes.
If Enya and Kate Bush had a child ❤
Absolutely stunning every second of it, mesmerisingly beautiful
My most valued find on TH-cam, no question.
Your eyes tell me stories
That I can't understand
I have seen the future
Written in your hand
Now I surrender
I am falling down
Hoping you will catch me
Before I hit the ground
You're all I see
For you, I'm falling free
I have walked the steepest mountains
Sailed the seven seas
I have been looking for you
In every part of me
Now I surrender
I am falling down
Hoping you will catch me
Before I hit the ground
You're all I see
For you, I'm falling free
You're my destiny
For you I'm falling free
You're all I see
For you, I'm falling free
Her vocal gymnastics, are quite impressive! What a voice!
First time I heard this I cried!!
10th time I heard this, I cried ;)
@@roylidstone3678 I can feel you.
I'm crying right now!
Same here
Polo Surf Yes we are
She once sang when I was a small child, she was not so popular then, it was a gathering that we often have in Faroe Islands. I and the other kids were playing and running around, then suddenly she started singing, my small child world stopped, i just watched and listened to her, no one could get contact with me while she sang. I can't explain the feeling but I felt out of my body. Words can't explain what I experienced.
Her voice stands beside me as I meet my true self xX
probably the best live performance I have ever seen in my long life
I have no words, no words can describe this beautiful voice.
Magnús Rafnsson Freyja ! That's the only word I can think of
Divine, Truth, Love, some words try as hard as words can...
@@Valholm These words can try as hard as they want to, they will never replace the true experience of hearing Eivør singing live. Never heard anything like it.
That’s one of the most powerful love songs I’ve ever heard. It brings me to tears every time. What a mighty performance by Eivør and her whole band. Astonishing!
I revisit this, probably every month. One of the greatest performances ever, globally.
The most powerful and beautiful song I have ever heard...I will play this on my wedding day
It would be a very beautiful song for that. 🙂
That's what I'm going to play on my wedding too :) I ALWAYS cry when I hear it. And these are tears full of happiness, sadness and love in the same time. Perfectly splendid.
A song about grief on a wedding day?
@@geckolia3823 grief, cz it will be his last day of being single. No more hookups.
@@geckolia3823 well, I guess my interpretation is different than your's 🤷🏻♀️
If there's one performance that has made me a devoted Eivor fan, this is it. Every note, every word commands my attention, and I feel all of it in every part of my body, my heart, my soul. The power and the passion in the voice are breathtaking. Absolute perfection. Bravo Eivor, you are brilliant!
No matter the state of mind you are and no matter the time or surrounding you will be, She is releasing something from the deepest of your concience which is unstoppable and pure... Eivor is a gift to humanity...
Why had I not know about Eivor before the last kingdom??? She is the most talented artist I’ve ever heard.
What is last kingdom ?
I'm 67--and it's criminal that TH-cam has not recommended her before tonight. I'm absolutely blown away. And as a reviewer noted on another song, It's criminal that she's so well known at home but unknown in North America. I've just subscribed, and have a lot of catching up to do. So breathtaking that if I listen to much more I could become a South Seas pearl diver and break records for holding my breathe. (Joking, but not by much). And the band is perfect--though as she shows in one video, she needs no backup at all to send shivers through her audience.
I recommend to listen soundtracks "The last kingdom". It is awesome. All soundtracks for this series were performed by Eivor.
It's a crime this has only been viewed 78K times.
I'm trying to spread the word :-)
its a crime this has only been viewed 318 k times.
It s a crime this has only been viewed 690K times
It s a crime this has only been viewed 1008K times
I love the perfect warm up the first half of the song provides to the full on emotional onslaught of the second half. Just when I think I'll make it through this without crying, she uses her ancient Celtic vocal gorgeousness and forces open the flood gates. Great band, great instrumentation, great mix, untouchable vocal performance! Eivor and the boys are completely on a level all their own. True art. Wow! Purchasing SLOR now, you should, too!
Ikr. Every time I think I've made it through without wetting my eyes, the last high notes get me at the latest.
Just stumbled across this....where has she been all my life?? What a phenomenal voice! An amazing performance, her voice just cleaves it's way inside you and grabs everything in there. Great music to back it up, they definitly found a new fan here.
Yes...a voice between my Ancestors. So lovely, no words can describe.
This is what I call a perfection !!
I think this has to be one of THE best performances ever in the world, her voice, the acoustics, the other musicians and then her epic high notes at the end 😍😍😍
I've had to give myself a break from replaying this...
I think she sounds just like kate Bush... I've never heard anyone get this close to sounding like kate.. stunning performance 😮
One of the most stunning live performances I've ever seen recorded
i KNOW
yeah rivals pink floyd
to me ievor is a vølv telling us how to be
I agree. Live performances usually are almost always somewhat cringy, this is galactic!
Believe me, experiencing this for real in a live setting is simply life-changing! I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes the whole time. Her performance has the power to quite literally leave you absolutely speechless and ravished.
this isn't a song, this is something else
I want Eivor and Floor Jansen to carry my soul to Valhalla!
Only warriors who fall in combat go to Valhalla.
this should be played in every CHURCH..this IS Heavenly.. Amen
It’s literally about a mortal falling in love with another mortal, chill.
they are pagan songs. They will never be or would be played in churches.
@@isabelamillamonti3672Most of her songs are not about Pagan folklore
@@isabelamillamonti3672 at least until the church decides this kind of pagan music will be the next hot thing to appropriate for itself. Y’know, following in its tradition of taking pagan things and then rebranding them as their own 😒 looking at Easter, Christmas and at least a fair bit of their metaphysical practices & assumptions.
Did you recognize Jesus playing the druns? 🙂
most underrated song ever 😩😩🥵🥵
again & again LOts of love! }{
I swear Eivor is the love child of Enya and Annie Lennox. She is perhaps the best vocalist of this generation, and has Enya and Lennox's haunting ethereal quality to her voice and presence. Would love to see her live
Shades of "Kate Bush" as well. Brilliant.
@@Suve35967 Yes, definitely can be compared to Kate Bush. Especially in her Hounds of Love cover
This transcends music. This is a spiritual experience. I'm not convinced she is of this world.
I just came across her someone requested I react to her and I literally was blown away and I use the same words , I said , I felt like I went on a spiritual journey, powerful
It's as if the studio version and this are two different songs, and the live version simply crushes it. She is a rarity that she can regularly outdo her studio efforts when live.
almost every time - unheard of!
Humanity needs more of this.
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard, and I've been listening to music for 49 years. What a voice, and the arrangement, the bass coming in, then the drums...building ...and back to the softness..the lyrics gave me goosebumps
Saw Eivør live in Manchester. When she did this I .....
have no words.
Lucky you. I was due to see her in London last month but, well you know...
@@mikewade5902 Yeah I know. I was all set for Manchester again. Hopefully next year eh!
HOLY SH*T! That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard!
Thankyou for this gift. Truely Devine.
Saw Wardruna live and she opened for them, I hadn't heard of her before. Been in love ever since.
I have seen her in vienna. Can't describe how beautiful she sings. This is art on highest level😍🤗
She was in Vienna? Oh no, I missed her!
Every time I listen to this song, I just say "WOW!" at that last high note. Such incredible vocals.
And I'm falling too... I'm falling into tears. Each time.
Wow. Just Wow.
I listen to all genres about 10 hrs a day. Her voice is probably the best vocal instrument l have ever heard. So soft with so much depth at the same time, powerful with so little effort. Listen with headphones to be blown away, a true gem of a voice . My absolute favorite. The composition and build up in the music is a perfect match. Recommend to all your friends, she deserves the recognition
Love to watch the "reactions" to this video of people hearing it for first time. They are always blown away.
I seem to find myself coming back for this whenever I need a good cry.
Same here
This is just sick. I mean, wow. Put me anywhere in space and time for seven minuted and this is it. Best live performance I've ever seen. By far.
her voice sounds like comes from heaven.
It does.
I know
And Thanks to her we have access to heaven
From the Great Halls of her Ancestors. Valhalla .
Her voice is not from this world. I asure you.
i remember that night when i first heard this song. it was in a dark road with the love of my life driving. he told me to listen to this song and at first i was not really listening to it, cause what's more exciting than sitting in the passenger seat with the one you love. but when she started singing the chorus, i involuntarily close my eyes, felt the lyrics cause those words speaks what my heart can't utter to this man not only driving the car but also drives my world. then the lyrics (song) goes on and on.. and shed a tear without him knowing. that moment i knew i am in love with this person and i want him badly. but he cant be mine and that is sad :(
I was reading your comment feeling goosebumps, because something so similar happened to me! …A dark night road, and the man I was falling in love with played Eivør, like check out this girl, she is pretty cool. And I kind of registered that the artist was worthy, but all my emotions were at the moment. Nærvær. Excitement. Anticipation of our first kiss and touch.
We are not together any more and I still need to get over that(.
And up to your last sentence I was hoping your story would end differently.
I wish you the best. All the love and joy that is on their way into your life. And to myself, too.
PS Hope I will also see Eivør in concert one day.
@@annabahatska1433too much love will kill you 😊
I listen to this and I am pinned to the side of a fjord, whilst falling through the air, hoping a valkyrie might save me and take me to the old gods. Nothing left to say. (From a sentimental ol' Angle.)
How has this masterpiece had less than a million views? I mean, seriously? This version is a million times better than the album version, I'm sure 99% of other listeners would agree with me.
one of the best live performances (by any artist) - I have ever seen. Lovely.
Frederick Miller facts
@@abracadabra3033 to be fair - ALL of her live performances are works of art.....
Frederick Miller you know what , I reacted to her and uploaded this performance yesterday and literally I mean literally listen to this song over and over and lol over again and went to sleep to it , I love music but no artist have ever captured me like that , she is a Phenom
This helps me to get over my COVID-19 anxiety
that smile at 6:34. words can not express how much i love this woman
Blown away, how have I never heard this. Need to go pick up my jaw.
Doesn't get the recognition it so deserves ❤️
I cry EVERY time I watch it.
She is sooooo Viking like! Good on ya nordics, you are sailing the human experience with dignity.
Thank you, Henrik and Lana!
Dozed off with live streams playing only to be awakened by this hauntingly beautiful song and voice.... Kept rewinding to catch the lyrics so I could find the song and artist (didn't think to look in the description).... Totally worth the effort.
@@IDontSuckAtLifeakaJanis3975 Same here! Beautiful...
We are truly blessed to experience such a wonderful vocal talent, you are beautifully gifted
I watch this performance at least twice a day, every day. She is flawless!
Just watched this 4 times so it hit 2 million views
Bloody hell, this is magic!
