One of the most profoundly beautiful songs I've heard in my 50 some years on Earth. Kalandra has a distinctive sound but a wide range. To hear their harder side the live video of Lullaby is great. For more in this vein try Virkelighetens Etterklang. It's in Norwegian and like Borders is hauntingly gorgeous. Their covers of Warduna's Helgeven and Rockettothesky's Grizzly Man are also not to be missed. Love this band! I've yet to hear a song from Kalandra I haven't liked. So glad you finally got back to them.
Thanks for your reaction and thoughts. :) Their cover of “Helvegen” is worth a listen, too. “Kalandra: In essence, the song [Borders] is about witnessing your own vulnerability in comparison to the massive forces that move the world. The video tries to convey that feeling through several intertwining narratives.” Kalandra continue, “As humans on this Earth we wish to control our surroundings so that life can be a little bit more predictable. Inevitably we’ll all be confronted with our own death and must find acceptance through seeing the world as it truly is.”
@@davegalea6689 Wardruna are the original artists of Helvegen as a melody Its nota cover The lyrics are based on an icandic saga but they composed the music. Aurora is not part of wardruna however so that must be what you meant
Loved this so much... you can tell there is a strong tradition of elves and faerys in this part of the world... it Is reflected in the Nordic sound of these vocalists. Ancient echoes in the modern world, which taps into the soul and links us up with our pagan past... beautiful 😍
Very angelic, and although the words are in English, it sounds very Gaelic to me in it's atmosphere. Especially in the beginning, therefore this gorgeous performance of Kalandra. Noticed you the same feelings during the song ? Dark and deep, but also light in some sound phrases.
Stunning. These Scandinavian women are truly unique and wonderful. Unbelievable beauty. Makes me want to move to one of the Scandinavian countries. Their talent is unreal
Thank you Mike and Ginger, i've been waiting for you guys to check out more from Kalandra, and I'm excited you are really enjoying them! Please check out their cover of Wardruna's "Helvegen", you'll be very happy you did.
Initial thoughts. Her ethnicity sounded Scottish/Gaelic and her voice sounded very calming, soft and smooth. A song I would lay my head back, close my eyes and let my imagination take me.. A very good song and beautiful voice. Tell the truth I never watched the video on 1st run, just listened..Great reaction guys. Thx...
I dont know why people think this sound Gaelic/Scottish/Irish etc. Norwày has this kind of music sound too, and a lot of history. Maybe its because of Enya, I dont lnow…
Never heard of Kalandra before... this is the first time I'm hearing this... and these vocal layers sound fantastic ! Oh, and by the way : Very nice dress, Ginger. Best wishes : Gerry
Definitely get the comparisons to Aurora. Also reminds me of Sussanne who sang the Oblivion song. Always so beautiful with that tone. Loved this. Hadn't seen it before. Thanks!
that entire genre sounds similar But only Aurora is rather well known so people compare them Have to say that I like Kalandras voice better albeit I love both
You keep on doing it ....... finding me new artists to discover. Loved this very much. You just don’t hear this here. I have come to love European groups very much not to mention your own Canadian artists which all don’t get exposure here. Had to listen to this again, truely beautiful! ❤️🤘🇦🇺
@@leod2408 participated in their live stream from gildehalle/borre last august. Already that was amazing. Unfortunately, travelling to 🇧🇻 from 🇨🇭 is kind of impossible since corona. I had for example tickets for the Trondheim Olavsfest (Aurora) last year, of course none of that happened. Hoping again for this year.
I enjoy your reactions. Since you loved this song by Kalandra, here is a recommendation for you (if you don't know it already), the song 'The Sun' by Sami-Norwegian Electronica group ISÁK -> th-cam.com/video/WJ2Ed7nodaA/w-d-xo.html
Watching this reaction again, and thinking since you mentioned both Aurora and Alanis Morissette. Why don't you react to Auroras cover of "Thank you" by Alanis Morissette? It does not have a video, but it's gorgeous! 😊👍th-cam.com/video/oc4UDd1w_P4/w-d-xo.html

I love how these norwegian artists really express their culture in their music. It just sounds like Norway.
While listening to that song i was watched your backround ... wow, what a fantastic piece of art. And the song, wow :-)
You guys were way ahead of the curve, Not many reactors have discovered this awesome band yet.
We love these guys! Mike will not stop playing his double LP set

I would love to have this song played at my funeral. Certain lines in this song detail the life I’ve lived
Me too Kevin

Ooh yes. I love their cover of that song.
@@jamievanduesen3637 it’s a good one, I especially like their outro. :)
Kalandra cover of ' Helvegen ' is much better then the one done by Wardruna

Greetings from Norway =)
That was really amazing. Captivating with that sound. Couldn't take my eyes and ears of that.
Lots more of that please 😋
One of the best bands around. Great videos as well.
Totally underrated band. Thanks for doing this reaction! Check some of their live performances. Katrine is a great performer!

That's a very mystical and magical landscape both on film and in music. Loved it!! Those harmonies!! Thx, Mike and Ginger.
Yes it's definitely a haunting track. It's music that takes you places. For the next song from them I recomend, Kalandra- Slow motion.
Stunning. These Scandinavian women are truly unique and wonderful. Unbelievable beauty. Makes me want to move to one of the Scandinavian countries. Their talent is unreal
shes not the only member of the band tho
@@lil_weasel219 Never said she was

I've just finished watching season 1 of Loki and this song reminds of Sylvie
Never by Kalandra is amazing! The live session is my favorite!
Please try Virkelighetens Etterklang or their cover of Helvegen
The first one is absolutely stunning a song and Ive never seen anyone react to it :/
4:40 .... this movement from her... is what ive been feeling inside me, for a long time now... just with a tighter grip
🙋♂️Another great norwegian artist/group 😊 You should check out Ina Wroldsen too👌 The acoustic live version of "Strongest" from Spellemannsprisen👍👍👍
loved it! thx M&G!
💜💜💜
Just to let you know -they've got humour. Doubt it? Then check out " This is not a Fairytale".
Please do more Kalandra!!!
And please listen to Chris Kläfford from Sweden! His voice will melt you.
be safe
Björn
Don't miss out on Kalandra's album The Line .. that would be the crime of the year :) .. No fillers , it's a masterpiece!!!
Can only second that. Hope to see them live soon.
@@mad6457 They are superb live , i've seen this band twice so i really hope you get the chance to see them.. stay safe

@@leod2408 They are planning on a concert in Oslo April 17th. Would like to go there, but there is little chance for it to be a reality...

Ginger are you named after you hair? I know that sounds creepy but I'm just wondering
Ginger is actually Mike’s nickname for me. So, yes. My actual name is Theresa.
Oh ok thank you
