I've heard a few renditions of Drømde mik en drøm i nat but this is by far my favourite. Andras Ellendersen and Thiago Ody did an amazing job bringing this to life - just how I imagine it sounded in the 1300s!
I dreamed a dream last night of silk and fair furs, of a pillow so deep and soft, a peace with no disturbance.
And in the dream I saw as though through a dirty window the whole ill-fated human race, a different fear upon each face.
The number of their worries grow and with them the number of their solutions - but the answer is often a heavier burden, even when the question hurts to bear.
As I was able to sleep just as well, I thought that would be best - to rest myself here on fine fur, and forget everyone else.
Peace, if it is to be found, is where one is furthest from the human noise - and walling oneself around, can have a dream of silk and fine furs.
This was written at the end of a law book. I'm betting that it´s not about silk and fine fur, but rather one of the interpretations: 1) I dreamt a dream last night of justice and fair play 2) I dreamt a dream last night of equality and honest measure
here are some wiki pages i found about the song... the second one is the origanle law book that the tune was found in the first is a page about the part with the song lyrics themselves. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr%C3%B8mde_mik_en_dr%C3%B8m_i_nat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Runicus

This sounds way better than I imaged. Well done, 13th century musicians!

I love whenever I find things like this. Treasures.
Woow, sounds damn great and got a very special, original sound to it.

But then... I took an arrow to the knee
Incrível saber que existe algo deste naipe por estas bandas! Muito bom, espero que prospere, e que haja mais por vir.

Back when law texts were poetic.^^
Civ 4 Warlords ''Viking'' song is based on this.
Skål! You honor my ancestors well!

Why do I feel like a farmer working his farm in this song??? This song is jolly sad what is it about I wonder I’ll have to look
Finally something more reliable
Hella shivers
Fantastic!
Sounds really good.
Muito boa essa música 😎👏🏼
Super
Reminds me of SKÀLD an Icelandic band
Wow I really like this rendition. I'm assuming this is only guitar, but is any other instruments used?
P C I think it’s a lyre
Very interesting, how is the melody known? As the nordics didn’t write melodies down
👌😌
