- Here is my rendition of "My Mother Told Me", from the show Vikings / popularized on TH-cam in association with Assassin's Creed Valhalla (based on the poem from Egil's Saga). I absolutely loved the harmonies in this piece; thank you to those who recommended this song in the comment section!

Wow, 1 million views in 31 days!?? Thank you all so so much, this really made my whole week! ♥️ I’d love to see y’all over on instagram > @rachelhardymusic
"Id love to see y'all on instagram" hmmmm questionable
Nice work.
I'm a new fan here. This is amazing!
you deserve it, this cover is just wonderfull !
you deserve it. amazing voice from a beautiful woman
I was listening to this when my wife asked me to go borrow a couple eggs from our neighbor…long story short, I have expanded our lands, and our neighbors home is now my own, we shall never want for eggs again.
LOL AWESOME
You commenting that on every video about this song right? 😂
YES
Love this! These kind of comments make reading comments worth it!
🤣
Dang, are we going to reach 10k views on release day? I don’t think we’ve ever done that!
Edit: we did it! Thank you!! 🥰
Heck yes
not just on release day. in 8hrs ;)
Already happened
Can you make a video on that song if you have a friend from assassin's Creed Valhalla
no not 10k, 15k in 21 hours op
When Rachel doesn't upload often, so she adds 9 duplicates of herself in one video so we have enough for the rest of the month :bigbrain:
Exactly
ROFLMAO 🤣 I'm ok with that. 🤘😉
Hey man, DON'T SPOIL THAT! I'm so glad I've been taken by surprise before reading this comment. The music starts well designed since the very beginning but you cannot expect what's coming later. And I can tell you, it stuns you completely when it happens suddenly. I mean each and every twist that happens later.
@@adammarkiewicz3375 It's totally not in the preview...
@RPG Loremaster like the name
That voice. The pitch on point. That sound quality. Not just echoe all over the place. Simply exquisite.
Love the harmonies in this work of artistry. Nice to hear a genuine vocalist.
Yes, feel a little like Malukah
I am from Iceland. and Egill Skallagrímsson (the viking who wrote the original poem) is actually one of my ancestors.
Although I can't help butt feel like something is missing in the translation to english, I'll be damned if this isn't the most beautiful version I have ever heard of this song!
Thank you very much!
Thank Odin that we still have descendants of sorcerers!
@@Raccoon469 Egill was many things, but a sorcerer?
WOW - that is some impressive ancestry! Beautiful to see that you keep the connection alive 💟
@@obcl8569 It is not really THAT impressive. In ages past Iceland had a small population, usually didn't go far above 50.000 people.
I usually do not need to go more than 6 or 7 generations back to find a connection to any of my friends, for example. So when the person in question is from about a thousand years ago, I would not be surprised if more than half the nation can trace their lineage back to Egill (who we all learn about in school, so he would be a popular example).
@@Grubnar way to ruin the mood.
THANK YOU ALL so much for half a million views!!! I love reading through all the lovely comments, thank for for the subs 🙏🏼 much love ❤️
way passed 500K now :) +1 sub btw, love your voice!
Lyrics
My mother told me
Someday I would buy

@Shinderera: thanks for posting!
thanks
@@s_p1324 then copy paste.Easy.
Why do I wonder how this would sound in Klingonese?
I can't count how many times I've listened to her sing over the years-maybe a hundred, maybe a thousand. Whenever I close my eyes, when things get tough, her song and face come to mind. Even though I've never met her, and never will, she was with me-in Mali, in Ukraine, in Poland, in Latvia. May the gods bless all the soldiers of good.
There's one thing I like more than Rachel Hardy singing in my ears.
Nine Rachel Hardys singing in my ears.
Halfdan and Harald are sure singing with you in Valhalla
Dude, she’s alive. Let them sing alone for 100years more xD
@@Nemanja1610um that doesn’t mean they aren’t singing from Valhalla dude
Skol!
i'm a 5"3 16 year old girl. i listened to this song now i'm 6"6 with a full red beard
Dwarf hit a growth spurt. :)
@@RuralTowner i am like that excpet i am 6'2
SO am I
Lol
😆
Fantastic!
You should do a metal version of this!
Where are the covers Dan?
I will agree with the comments
Yo why you follow the same chanel's I follow, first metal jesus and now this one!
Hello Dan, we miss you brother!
Listening to this 400 times a day just isn’t enough
Oh, Valkyrie will show us her voice again!😅
I am 41 years old of Viking/Irish ancestry.. I have heard this many time. This version made me cry like a babe. Your voice hit me on a level none other has.
The one from Natreddd is also sick
th-cam.com/video/Dol9RUyXDp4/w-d-xo.html
How are you exactly from viking ancestery?
Rolling Thunder His grandparents and great grandfathers and grandmothers had blood and he has viking blood too such as dna and stuff
The Vikings came to Ireland and settled taking Irish women as wives. MY last name is Odom and as you go back as the name has changed when the enlgish invaded ireland and scotland Oldmam-Oldom-Odinsplace were given to those as last names. Going back in geneoligy and DNA from my Greatx3 Grandparents before the moved to the Americas
This gave me mythical chills.
Wow
My notification told me
Someday I would hear
Valkyrie's voice from my headphones
Dream of next release
This is one of the most angelic voices I've ever heard
Try loreena mc kennit and eurielle as well
My mother told me...."ask Rachel Hardy to ever so politely consider covering the Patrick kavanagh poem 'On Raglan road' (as sang by Irish folk singer Luke Kelly😊) in her haunting angelic voice and if you ask politely enough, she may indulge the world with this powerfully intimate piece of musical literature🙏"
I´m not that kind of emotional person, but now sittin here totally stunned by that simple perfection. It´s hard for me to find words to discribe your voice, No big show, no "look here i am" just pure music and emotion. And I don´t know why, but I want to buy a galley
same man
Rachel's got a Rebecca Black meets young Natalie Portman kinda look ❤ And those layered inflections? Heavenly...
My father told me
Someday I will die
Fighting for new lands
With blood covered hands
Let out my war cry
Show I have no fear
Valhalla’s door to haven
Will wait for no man”
Did you come up with this yourself or did you get it from somewhere? I feel like it fits really well with the tone of the song.
@@JR5802. its not mine.some Norvegian guy gave me these in a conversation we had about viking songs on the internet. you think maby you can make a video for you tube with this tune and these lyrics?
Sounds like IS muslims
Yeah I actually agree that really does fit. I wanna see the song remade with these lyrics included
@@JR5802. he ripped it off a comment section in another vid with this song
i can't really decide which is more beautiful, her voice or she herself. angelic performance
My mother told me, "someday I would buy galley with good oars...."
There was a point in the past when I heard this song and thought the Mother was talking about getting a ship and going on a raid herself. A true Shield Maiden song, well I suppose it still could be seen that way.
This was wonderful. Thank you and stay safe
Then it would be "will" not "would".
So calming and beautiful, Rachel! You have such a unique and delicate voice.
I'm mesmerized by her voice and her beauty.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! You did the song I requested! I cannot wait to hear it. ❤️
Heck yeah! Thank you so much for suggesting it!
On my mother side I'm part Swedish and part Norwegian listen to this it brought me back to land of my forefathers.
Now in Norse:
Þat mælti mín móðir
At mér skyldi kaupa
Fara á brott með víkingum
Fley ok fagrar árar
Fara á brott með víkingum
Fara á brott með víkingum
Stýra dýrum knerri
Standa upp í stapni
Stýra dýrum knerri
Halda svá til hafnar
Stýra dýrum knerri
Halda svá til hafnar
Höggva mann ok annan
Höggva mann ok annan
Lovely, thank you!
❤️
This was crazy. She caught me by surprise👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾BEAUTIFULLY done
I herd so many version of this...most have that feeling your standing with your people staring down your enemies ready to litter the ground with their blood....but then you hear this version and all you can see is your self on a long boat sailing somewhere looking all stoic
The moment 9 of yourself came up, shivers ran through my back the whole time. This is amazing.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it :)
This is beautiful! Lauren Paley did a harmonized version of this with only three parts, but I love how you used nine with a little instrumental accompaniment!
beautiful wow!!!
Nice
yeah! the singing is not bad either
World Of Warcraft
@@CIFONAD lol
I can happily go to Valhalla now
Is it bad this actually helps puts me to sleep? This is one of my favourite song and the fact your voice is so soothing and beautiful makes it so much more better☺️amazing job!
Love this. I'd be lying if I wish I couldn't hear a voice like this singing it in traditional Old Norse but this was beautifully done. Bravo!
Harald and Halfdan would be proud.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard. Halfdan and his brother would be proud. ❤️
Its 2021 and I hear it all the time
Ah you did it again! My daughter Freyja really loves this song. She says to tell you thank you.
My notification told me
Someday I would hear
Valkyrie's voice from my headphones
awesome!!
ого ,привет)
Какие люди))))
@Tony Montana much better indeed, but this was still good.
How am I just hearing your voice? This was pure, gentle, and filled with power. Loved it!!!
This makes me nostalgic for a life I never lived 🥺🥺😭😭
Already liked because I know it will be good
Hopefully it lives up to your expectations!
Me too
@@RachelHardy Update, it definitely did!
@@RachelHardy can you sing rdr2 songs
The video says released 1 day ago
Your comment shows 2 days ago
Looks like Loki's doing
Unbelievable could listen to your voice all day would love to hear you sing the foggy dew☘️
Pleasant shades of Enya.
Reminds me of my family
Fans of Assassin's Creed: best song ever! Can't get better
Rachel Hardy: hold my beer...
incredible voice !! keep up the good work
Why isn't it in AC Valhalla tho? Perfect sea shanty. I'd prefer the original old norse one tho.
its from facking VIKINGS! shame on you noob
Such a voice deserves 10x the subscriptions and 10x the likes! Very inspiring!
Thank you Ms Rachel!!!....truly hauntingly "otherworldly" beautiful!! i am completely blown away by your vocal abilities young lady!! You truly have the voice of an angel!! Please continue your outstanding work!!...I'm not at all surprised that you have accumulated over a million subscribers!!
I swear, not even kidding, the more viking music I listen to the blonder my beard gets.
Hi, I've listened to this at least thirty times in the last week and I still love it! Thank you and I can't wait to listen and sing along to more of your wonderful songs! Again thank you and keep up the amazing work.
This..... this is hauntingly beautiful.
Holy crap! Both her looks and voice are absolutely GORGEOUS!
Wow. As soon as I heard this I got shivers. What a voice.
Pure beauty... mindblowing ! The authenticity of her emotions are touching, can't describe this any better.
Confirmed: She has 8 identical sisters
Can confirm
Can confirm
This is getting out of hand... now there are NINE of them!
@@tvih84 Looks like the Nazgul have had a makeover.
Your cover helped me more than you can imagine. Bless you.
thats one of the best versions of this song ever
I listen to every cover of this I come across, this is one of my favorites
I love this song and we learned it at school and ever since iv loved it
it's been almost a year, how am I just hearing this now? Amazing work :D loved it
I can't wait was singing his to myself walking up a Glen today very spooky 😄
Every since recording it's been stuck in my head
Apart from your flawless vocal performance, I enjoy this video so much because it's interesting to observe how singing different melodies brings out different attitudes and emotions.
You have an ability to touch the depth of feeling in a song coupled with an astonishingly beautiful voice.
Beautiful rendition Rae! You, no doubt, will be familiar with Enya's music. Her gaelic songs are particularly beautiful. Check out "Deora Ar Mo Chroi" from the 'A Day Without Rain' album. Even if you don't do a cover, it will most certainly soothe the soul. The English translation of the words can be found online as well. Stay safe and healthy 'till next time.
everytime I read "My mother told me", my brain automatically adds "the world is gonna roll me". send help.
you know what folks say: get shrekt :D
Such an beautiful voice from a gorgeous shield maiden
This was posted on my birthday
After my 20.000th rewind; I should share this with my friends!
Also, may I request a 10 hour version of this?
Idk who this girl is but from the comment section I have a feeling she’s a good singer
Weeellll I hope you come see the video when it's out! And yes, the Hardy Army is a great bunch
She is. I would even dare to say she's an awesome singer :)
@@RachelHardy wow never again will o question you 😭 this was suuuuper soothing and I love the harmony :)
I can feel every emotions in your cover ! It's so beautiful !
Straordinaria colonna sonora di una straordinaria serie tv. Magnifica
Not gonna lie listening to this actually made me get chills i actually started to get emotional tears build up this was beautiful
I called my mother yesterday and she told me that i have 1% of genes Norwegian...today i am 100%proud Norwegian...
Sad your not Dane, they was the true Vikings 🙄

I am NOT a fan of Assassins creed. But, Respect is due where it's due and this woman has earned mine. Well done. Well done indeed.
I love this song and your version is outstanding and your voice wow
I LOVE this song
You sing beautifully. You have talent Keep up l with you a wonderful .Career singing .I have never seen or heard anyone sing like this in my life. You are amazing. Well done.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations beautiful voice .. You are the top. Greetings from Italy. Complimenti bellissima voce.. Sei il top. Un saluto dall'Italia.
u r beautiful in every way Rachel Hardy xox your divine voice just amplifies all your other pure qualities
Absolutely love it! Beautiful voice, and those close harmonies are a real treat. The simple background instrumental gives me a dream-y feeling of anticipation ... and then the harmony "steady" before the actual chorus in the end, brilliant. Love it! 🧡
The voice of an angel
Amazing cover !!
A big fan of Vikings - they should hire you to make the soundtrack of Vikings : Valhalla.
Everything is permitted....we are assassins.
We are sons of Ragnar
@@Youbeentagged Skål
Mesmerizing voice 😍, isn't it?
I'm actually half Icelandic and grew up there for 6 years of my life!
Just fall in love. Can't stop listening
Twenty seconds in: Okay, wow. Subscribing immediately.
I appreciate you!!
Same here!
Lyrics:
My mother told me
Sunday I will buy
Gallery with good oars
Sail to distances shores
Stand-up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Some day
Some day and galley
Vikings wouldn't have used either galleries nor galleys.
I see the male version as the males going into battle, or sailing up to the shore for their next raid. This one fits after the raid, when the Valkyries carry the men home.
This is one of my favourite versions, especially like the harmonies
This song gave me more sea experience than working on the water for almost 15 years....also at the start of the song I had nothing but at the end I'm holding an axe and have a helmet on with full beard WTF?!??!
your team and you yourself perform such songs awesome respect
Now this is magical
Прекрасная песня и её исполнительница ❤
