Hearken well, in hall of kings On ocean-steed my words gain wings Odin's mead, I forth will bring For noble deeds, thine honor sing The brave men slain, Valkyrjur wakes Reward for strain, to Valhöll takes Then horns resound the mighty hall For those who fight, for those who fall For those who fight, for those who fall Warlord weaves his web of fear Each man gets his fated share Blood red search the warrior's shield Ravens scan the battlefield Ravens scan the battlefield We beat and blazed our trail of red Till Odin gazed upon the dead The horns resound the mighty hall For those who fight, for those who fall For those who fight, and those who fall May horns resound the mighty hall For we who fight, for we who fall
plot twist: Colm is actually a group of octuplets who all sing in different registers and play different instrument, and that's why he can sound so natural with any song
@@ColmRMcGuinness 😂. Right. Considering our first duet was my mother told me ( after finding you on youtube) battle axes may be on the list with the longboat for this tiny shield maiden lol.
@@InfectedPagan Ja, I mean, I know that Freya's carriage/sled was carried by two cats. Moreover, there were several findings that cats were useful partners in villages and even burried with their owners. There is also a saga about Edda but that one was published in the 12./13. century.
I love how this is balanced. The lower registers stand out without overpowering, and there's such a deep and rich resonance. This is perfection and damned near made me cry. Well done!
Can't wait, been a follower for years (as in protest the hero years ago) and super happy you're finally getting recognition! Would love to hear you do a version of "One I Love"
One of your other songs was shared on one of my social media sites. Looked through the rest of your song list...I’ve never hit ‘Subscribe’ so fast in my life. I love these!
Ok,these songs have inspired my writing and creativity so much,and I love it. Here’s to one of the best yet somehow underrated musicians ever! Love your music!
Another Song Added. If you continue this way you might have about 50 songs recorded with you singing by maybe late june early july. Go for It. We want more McGuinness!
My cat was listening to this and now she's pulling Freyas chariot.... first of all good job second of all anyone know how to disassemble a chariot of the gods? I don't have alot of room in my apartment...
@@ColmRMcGuinness Yah I feel you. I've been doing subs for nearly 2 years now, and I still only get 'em 75% of the time when I try... I can't recommend the r/subharmonics reddit page enough though - they're really useful if you want advice on how to improve!
your musical abilities are outstanding - and how you make use of them.... well, just brilliant !! I thorougly enjoy your songs !! greetings from South Africa 🙋🏼♀️🎻
Whoo! Another one that brought all your talent Colm! Great lead in with your instrumentals, some fantastic vocals (and wonderful final bass line), as well as superb video editing to keep it lively :). Thank you for this today.
I love your content so much. You deserve so much more credit for all the insane stuff you do here. Your voice is so amazing and unheard of, and you have such an amazing range. You deserve so much more credit, and I wish I could do more then smash that like in subscribe bell. I love you and please don’t ever stop making these videos❤️❤️❤️
This is absolutely stunning and amazing. I love all the instruments and your vocal lines and harmonies are epic. I think Ciara from the wrath’s of Druid expansion would heartily approve of your cover.
Sometimes i wish those songs would last longer, because i cant get enough of them! I quess I am just gonna slap the replay button over and over :D Amazing song
I discovered this cover a few months ago along with the `My mother told me one` and it inspired me to work on my own cover of this tune. Well done mate! Great vocals!
Another song in repeat list. Love it when you play and sing. Viking anyone this song is addicting add colm and you can't stop. Kind of like potato chips cant stop at one. Please keep up the mindblowing songs colm, love your voice.
Eivor: “Sing my Ravens!”
“Let’s have a song!”
“Strike up a tune!”
“Sing us a song!”
Yep, I know the feeling being in the boat looking for a target, scrolling through those exact lines until you reach this master piece
Fr🦞
"Syngja mínn hrafnar! Vit eru fara til stríð!"
"SKALD!"
Hearken well, in hall of kings
On ocean-steed my words gain wings
Odin's mead, I forth will bring
For noble deeds, thine honor sing
The brave men slain, Valkyrjur wakes
Reward for strain, to Valhöll takes
Then horns resound the mighty hall
For those who fight, for those who fall
For those who fight, for those who fall
Warlord weaves his web of fear
Each man gets his fated share
Blood red search the warrior's shield
Ravens scan the battlefield
Ravens scan the battlefield
We beat and blazed our trail of red
Till Odin gazed upon the dead
The horns resound the mighty hall
For those who fight, for those who fall
For those who fight, and those who fall
May horns resound the mighty hall
For we who fight, for we who fall
plot twist: Colm is actually a group of octuplets who all sing in different registers and play different instrument, and that's why he can sound so natural with any song
And can play every instrument known to man
your username and profile picture compliment each other brilliantly
Lol, 👍
My 6 year old savage daughter has you on repeat for this one... she’s singing along and painting !
That's awesome! Good luck finding a longboat for Christmas!
@@ColmRMcGuinness 😂. Right. Considering our first duet was my mother told me ( after finding you on youtube) battle axes may be on the list with the longboat for this tiny shield maiden lol.
I mean, the song DOES say their mother told them to get a ship 😂
@@ColmRMcGuinness true that! Lol 😂
What a cultured child. 💜
At this point I'm sure he is a Viking that time-traveled to share his music with the future generations!
"Hold my tagelharpa, sister" - Einar Selvik
Just blessed by the gods is all
XD YES
Sadly, his accent would put him under the restriction of Celt, I believe
My cat started purring again when you started singing. She even sat up and stretched her claws. I think she's going to war now 😅
Careful, that cat could be Jormungandr in disquise.
You know about cats in Nordic history

Try saying..."dacatgaaa....it's great to see you"
Have fun sleeping....
I love how this is balanced. The lower registers stand out without overpowering, and there's such a deep and rich resonance. This is perfection and damned near made me cry. Well done!
Cheers mate! Mixing it was pretty treacherous 😂
Yea I don't even need to hear it, already liked. You're covering Einar and that will break me. Chills.
totally agree
How do you get futhark in your name?
@@QalaniKing What will you sacrifice for that knowledge?
I just started playing AC:Valhalla, heard this song and imagined a cover and it was EXACTLY like this.
I love looking at his facial expressions as he sings the different part. Whenever he sings baritone he looks angry
You really need to cover "VALHALLA CALLING". Your covers are just... Incredible!
This man is goals for all Irish and Diaspora around the world. Greetings from California!
Read the video description, nothing wrong with an Irish accent lol 😂
That Irish accent enhances nearly every song.
Egads! What this man does with a song is nothing short of perfection. His vocal range is almost matched by his abilities on multiple instruments.
His vocal range? Autotune is great for that.
@@ptidwell625 do I detect a bit of octave envy? 🤭😉
@@poietes7337 I would say your detector needs a recalibration.
Wicked talent. Can’t wait to hear it.
The introduction of subharmonics is mind blowing 👏👏👏👏🙏 and what a nice party it was in the live chat 😀
This was so mighty! Good choice in instruments, it sounded so ancient and powerful. Goosebumps all over! I guess it's time to play AC Valhalla again.
Woah, that deep note at the end gave me chills 😍
It's amazing that you play so many instruments AND sing so well! 👍👍
Can't wait, been a follower for years (as in protest the hero years ago) and super happy you're finally getting recognition! Would love to hear you do a version of "One I Love"
Ahhh no way! Cheers for sticking around, mate!
@@ColmRMcGuinness Colm hope you don't mind me asking but we're are you actually from? As in the country
@@blacklegbeastro5295
I'm not completely certain, but I'm pretty certain he's Irish
@@conchurfitzsimons570 Thought he was but I wasn't sure.
@@blacklegbeastro5295 yeah it mentions irish accent in the description
I'll never get over how this voice can just casually play the bouzouki and tagelharpa, too.
Whew -- he really hit beast mode in that last measure!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 What a Voice🥰 greetings from Germany
Starless Hells, Colm... you've done it again!
I just randomly came across this video but I can’t help but think.
Man does this Colm guy looks like Alistair from dragon age.
Yes, good eye!
This man is literally a wonder to behold. His voice is so goddamn goosebump inducing
Flexing with that casual E1 at the end there.
You sir have become my daily dose of awesomeness! Cheers to you!
One of your other songs was shared on one of my social media sites. Looked through the rest of your song list...I’ve never hit ‘Subscribe’ so fast in my life. I love these!
"Raven's can the Battlefield." Ooooo I like this one a lot!
It's Ravens scan the battlefield. And yes indeed. It's badass and so Viking!!
Absolutely amazing! That final low note shook my headphones!
That was absolutely insane! Being a huge fan of the folk songs and your channel this made me so excited for more! Please keep making these!
This is beautiful, love the whole thing, thanks again Colm.
Oh my goodness- the vocals just melted in so seamlessly! You're truly amazing.
You have so many amazing talents, Colm. Thank you so much for sharing them with us overseas!
Fantastic as usual! And I'm always impressed by the number of instruments you play. You're amazing!
I love how you recreated the entire song all by yourself ! the lute flute and everything is pure awesomeness May Odin guide your path Drengr.
To this Vikingr’s fantastic show of poetry, he shall raise our cups for him. SKOLL!
Ok,these songs have inspired my writing and creativity so much,and I love it. Here’s to one of the best yet somehow underrated musicians ever! Love your music!
May the High One be with you Colm, your noble deeds shall echo evermore with every note and word you sing
Another Song Added. If you continue this way you might have about 50 songs recorded with you singing by maybe late june early july. Go for It. We want more McGuinness!
You could make any song/cover sound sublime..amazing
I always feel bad whenever i hear this song as this is the last song ever had with her family before tragedy struck
My cat was listening to this and now she's pulling Freyas chariot.... first of all good job second of all anyone know how to disassemble a chariot of the gods? I don't have alot of room in my apartment...
You just need a bigger place. Geez. Honor thy cat, and godly duties.
Oh my God i've been waiting for this! This sounds awesome Colm, congrats!!
Dang, could you stop making these awesome covers and letting me feel freaking bad for not being able to sing 🥺😭
So awesome!!!!! 💗
Thank you for sharing with us your amazing talent.
Found this channel recently, great talent, can't wait for this and many more in the future!!
I say it every time. But you disserve it.... Thank you. Many blessing
Colm whipping out a subharmonic at the end there??
They’re so difficult! 😂
Will practice them more

Instant goosebumps. Love this Colm!
It would be cool to see a collab between him and Clamavi de Profoundis
@Aaron Anderson thank u for commenting
i got goosebumps. very well done! you sir, have gained a subscriber.
Never knew what a tagelharpa was until now. You introduce me to new instruments sometimes, and I love it.
Love this song and your voice! and the sweater that looks like chain mail? Brilliant! 😄
another great cover Keep smashing them out good sir! also keep the jumpers coming!
Beautiful work as always man -- inspiring to all of us who create music 👏
This is absolutely stunning and amazing. I love all the instruments and your vocal lines and harmonies are epic. I think Ciara from the wrath’s of Druid expansion would heartily approve of your cover.
I didn't think I could love this song more
Another legendary performance!! Keep it up man

I'm addicted to your channel bro great stuff keep it up!!!
Это потрясающе. Мало что поёт, так ещё и играет сам на всех инструментах. 👍👍👍🍺
Another amazing cover! Your musicianship is outstanding!
I didn't have a desire to play this game, but your covers have me wanting to give it a go!
This is amazing 😍!! Well done!
You are AMAZING! just found u last night... can't stop listening
I’m going to subscribe just because this song was awesome. From the instruments to the vocals. Wow. I’m blown away.
YES A TALHARPA
You're my hero. I hope you'll do all the Valhalla songs !! 🔥❤❤
Found you in my You Tube recommendations yesterday with "Óró 'Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile" and I'm loving your singing
❤ simply MAGNIFICENT!!
Well that was fun! I'm addicted to this song.
Beyond lovely as always.
Unbelievable!!!!!
So awesome
Cant wait to see you reach 100k!
Fantastic as always!
I'll be listening to this full blast in the woods while I'm camping. Hope the black bears, white tail deer, elk & mosse don't mind.
Another song in repeat list. Love it when you play and sing.
Viking anyone this song is addicting add colm and you can't stop. Kind of like potato chips cant stop at one.
Please keep up the mindblowing songs colm, love your voice.
Amazing talent ❤❤❤
I'd love to hear you sing toss a coin to your witcher or maybe lullaby of woe
Ooooo. I cannot wait for this one!
Не слышала оригинал и не хочу слышать, потому что это исполнение невероятно! Я влюбилась в твое творчество!
Great job man🤘👏
Very beautifully done
this is art.
This is going in my favourites
Great job, love it!
Even with the Irish accent you still did an outstanding job. Keep up the great work.
An Irish accent is not a detriment. Perhaps you meant "outstanding job" and an Irish accent?
@@zippyman818 I know what I said and I never even said that it was a detriment
I'd argue that this is better than the dumb accent in the original
Wow! This is fire!!!
My old dog likes your singing and music. He sits up to listen and sometimes wants to watch.
Love that E1 at the end in what i think is subharmonics
YES THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG FROM THE SOUNDTRACK
