A tiny taste of Heartland - a culture festival in the 💚 of Denmark | international icons up close

- I had the pleasure of attending a culture festival in the middle of the island that I live on with one of my best friends, and I wanted to share a little of it with you. Denmark is sometimes portrayed in international media as a fairytale country, and sometimes these portrayals miss the mark; Denmark is a complex nation like all other nations. In the case of Heartland, however, it seems an accurate description. It is obviously only a tiny taste of all the things that went on there, seen from one selective perspective. I hope you'll enjoy it and get a little insight into the crème de la crème of Danish culture (which ended on a less refined note for this particular volunteer worker. It's all good).
'Icons' (especially) featured: Sting, Margrethe Vestager, Thomas Vinterberg, Bret Easton Ellis & Robbie Williams.

What can I say? You speak so fluently with your soft voice and tell your story of “The Heartlands”. Thank you🌟🌟
That absolutely feels like a place I'd like to be. Kindred spirits everywhere... Thank you sharing.
Swans, a castle, music, food/wine and great talks… seems to be the most beautiful festival there is. Thank you for sharing this experience with us!
So glad you enjoyed it 😎💚
You are a very good story teller. Nice video.
Nice to see a peaceful festival, very cool. I love Sting as I remember listening to the Police in the early 80's. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your time at the festival with us. 😊
What a lovely festival in a stunning place! Even without hearing him sing, I got chills imagining being in the audience with Sting! Thank you so much for taking us along. Xoxo
It was truly magical, Sherie (Sting especially) 🥰
A treat for today: your calm, sweet voice and such an interesting episode! Thanks again! ❤
So Nice. Field of Gold
I am a teenager from the 80’s and I love Sting. My children learned to like “my music”. One day I walked passed the bathroom and heard my daughter singing “Roxanne”.
Excellent! 👍🏻🥰
Thank you so much for sharing. What an amazing experience that seemed to be. How incredible - Sting and Robbie Williams and all the talks and food and music. Heartland is now on my bucket list and I hope to get there sooner rather than later. :)
My pleasure. So glad you enjoyed it ☺️ Yes, it was so lovely. I’m also eager to know who will show up next year; it’s typically a mix between names who will draw a crowd and then underground, artsy names. Lovely to hear it made it onto your bucket list 😍
Feels perfect! Especially sting, long time ago, I was on the road with the police, I never realised he was older than me, and now, it's even harder to believe! Must get down the gym 😂
🥰💪❤️
Wow! What an amazing place and such a variety of things to see and do. Thank you for taking us along, enabling an insight into Danish culture. Sting and Robbie Williams too. Absolute bonus! Hope you are well rested and recovered 💖
So glad you enjoyed it 😚 yes, about a week later now, I’ve recovered 😅🥰
Lol, let's not beat around the bush! Sting is incredible! And what a wonderful opportunity to see him live! Thanks for sharing that ❤
😅🥰❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this experience! I left Denmark in 1953 as a 2 1/2 yr. old, with my parents,. They were on the adventure of their lives, beginning anew in the United States. I was in my early 20's before I realized the magnitude of that decision, and saw them both through new eyes...This wonderful video has brought tears to my eyes, as I reconnect to my homeland. Thank You!
Aw, that touched me deeply. So glad you were able to connect with your roots this way ❤️🤍
I spy a Yoreum top! 😍 I was just thinking yesterday that I would love to see a new video from you soon, and here you are. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure - I think I need to watch it a few more times to take in all the wonderful sights and sounds!
😘🙏🏻❤️
What an amazing festival. I don’t know if I have ever heard of a festival in Canada with so much variety and in such a special setting. And 10 hours of manual labour to pay for the ticket, I take my hat off to you. What fun to meet an old childhood friend. I loved your expression “not up my street”. Where I live, in BC, 🇨🇦, we say “up my alley”! Thanks for sharing the delights of this wonderful festival. I would love to attend.
Oh yeah, I say that as well - they’re the same, just a British and North American version 🥰
Thank you, I really enjoyed this. I visited Egeskov Castle in 2005. Not a festival, but a lovely summer visit with friends.
WOW ⭐️ that was incredible Helle! Thank you for taking the time to edit this and share it, I enjoyed it so much. What a great idea volunteering at the end to pay for the price of the ticket, and my muscles would NOT enjoy that part though 🤭🤣 what an amazing festival, thanks Karen 🥰
Thanks so much, Karen 🥰 So glad you enjoyed it ❤️😎
Beautiful, the grounds , the castle, the Swans, amazing venue with talks as well as music, real music Thank you for sharing. You are an excellent commentator.
😘🙏🏻
I was lucky enough to go to 2 Leonard Cohen concerts, here in Sydney Australia. He also was in his 70's and such a beautiful soul. I have never been camping or been to outdoors festivals. We have NO castles either. So nice to see Denmark through your eyes. Love the white swans, we have the black swans 🦢🦢.
My first ever concert, and still probably one of the best, was the Police picnic, outside of Toronto, Canada, August 1981, more than 40 years ago! I still love outdoor concerts, I've got to put Heartland on my list....
Sounds lovely 😍❤️
What a wonderful cultural festival. Thanks for showing us !
Åh, jeg får sådan hjemve. Og jeg har aldrig været til Heartland - det må jeg vist snart lave om på! Fedt at se Sting og Robbie stadig lever deres bedste liv. Tusind tak, sikke en hyggelig måde at starte min dag 💖
🙏🏻🤍❤️😘
Wow I am so jealous! What a fabulous weekend (except that last work-a-day?) anyway, yes Sting brings back SOOOOO much nostalgia. I was jamming to his music during the last part of my high school years which was such a tumultuous time in my life.
And so funny that Bret Ellis was there as I just finished reading “Shards” a month ago!
Always love your uplifting videos…thanks again for sharing your life & thoughts 💛
Wow, you read that? What did you think? I’m thinking of reading it this summer 🤍
@@danishmusings I used to read a lot but have found iPhones have sort of messed that up sadly…anyway “Shards” was the first book I’ve read in a while and didn’t know it was the same author as “American Psycho”. I didn’t like that movie (didn’t get it?) but shards really held my interest and was hard to put down! Note: there are some pretty gruesome parts. I’m not into gore at all but the book kept me riveted. Read if you dare! 😉
Wonderful, Helle. How nice it must be to go to a concert venue and also get to hear and see guest speakers. This seems so civilized compared to some of the Chicago festivals and events. Although, I'll give Chicago some credit, they get it right on a few of them. Like you, most are just too crowded for me. Crazy nice that you got to meet a childhood friend so unexpectedly. Thanks so much for sharing some of your summer with us viewers. May you have more wonderful adventures to come this year.
Thanks so much, Marcus ❤️🥰 Have a great summer in Chicago!
What a wonderful adventure! I'm loving the hammocks in the wooded area. Take care and i hope you've recovered from the clean up.
How beautiful! Thanks for sharing.🌻💕
And the food looked nice too...
An unforgettable experience enhanced by your curious and adventurous mind!
And enhanced by your ditto company, my friend 💚 Grateful for the experience together 🥰
You have been very fortunate in your travels. Thanks for sharing!
Denmark looks such an amazingly beautiful place ❤ Danes and Australians share many similarities (apart from you will one day have an Australian Queen) the festival looked incredible especially the Castle and congratulations on another beautiful knitted top 😊
Thanks so much 🥰 Yes, indeed, our two countries are connected through Crown Princess Mary, and I have an idea that Australians are every bit as laid back as us (maybe more so) 💙
Thank for this wonderful sharing! I hope you used a lot of sun screen in your face, you are amazing.
Ive enjoyed both your knitting and travelling content so ty so much for bringing us along and your summer knits look so pretty along with your patio area
🙏🏻😘💕
This was wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful thanks so much for sharing 💚💐
Beautiful episode, thank you very much for sharing. I feel like going to a festival now….although I’ve only ever been to one and that was 40 y ago 😂
Me too - but this type of festival I can do 🥂😎
If we‘d known this…! We have been sailing around Fyn the last 2 weeks… so beautiful 😍😍😍
Heading south again tomorrow, but maybe next time 😊🤗
You are having way more fun than anyone! ❤
I was entranced by this video! Especially Sting lol😂!
Ps, wow you did so well, on the clear up ❤
That looks a lovely festival; so very civilised! It was interesting to hear 'Another round' be mentioned, I watched it a year or so ago and thought it was excellent! I have been impressed by so many 'foreign language' (to those of us who only speak English!) films recently. I don't know if they have better writing/direction than the mainstream Hollywood offerings, or if it is that the subtitles force me to pay more attention and get more invested, but either way it has encouraged me to seek out more of them.
I’m pretty sure it’s a different take on movies in general. Have you ever watched The Lives of Others? Such an unassuming movie, German, and to me, simply wonderful ☺️
@@danishmusings no I haven't, but thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely check it out! 😊
Thank you for this. 🧡
Skal helt klart til Heartland til næste år
How lovely 🥰
So amazing I had watch it twice ❤❤
🙏🏻❤️
Your knitted top is fabulous 🧶😊
I'm lovin' your style Helle.
Why, thank you, Brian 😎 (are you specifically referring to the presence of wine, I wonder? 😉🥂)

I love being proven wrong sometimes-I can be so adamant about how I will feel about something-usually involving something being crowded-but threw my opinions to the wind and participated and thoroughly enjoyed myself (not always, mind you ☺️)
