LYRICS:
SKÅL Gavin Dunne 2023
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song
At the end of the eve
We'll be welcome and warm
By a great roaring fire
Our voices a storm
In the warm timber halls
We will keep out the cold
As we bellow and belt out
These tunes full of soul
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song
We're welcome and warm
Our voices a storm
Our voices, our voices a storm
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song - เพลง
This song was made as a tribute to all the fans both new & old who made my Viking/Nordic-themed songs so successful over the last couple of years. Thank you all for the love & support you've shown to me and the Miracle Of Sound project!
I'm taking a little break from Nordic/Viking songs for a little while after this , as I don't want to milk it to death & get burned out on it, but I'm sure I will return later at some point (and an alternative version of this song IS coming too!) 😉
Also special thanks to Thor, Espen, Marius and the Norwegian viking crew for the awesome video footage.
Don't forget to share with a friend if you enjoyed the song!
Big luv and SKÅL!
Gav
SKÅL!
Thank you, too! Skål 🐻🍻
Skål! 🍻
Skål to you too, Gav.
Is that why this song sounds like a bittersweet farewell compared to the more bombastic Nordic songs you've done previously?
Who is here in 2024
Skal!
Skal!
Skal! 👊🏾
Skal!
Skål!
When my dad turned 70, I took him into a restaurant with a viking theme and gave him a little speech based on this song. Told him about how a great song tells about men of war and men of care and how he has always been the best and a totally man of care by taking care of me every second in my life. A big guy with a a beard who looks like a retired viking burst into tears by being so touched.
That is truly beautiful. Makes me want to go give my dad a hug and tell him the same thing.
@@ammaar666 (EDIT: The comment that prompted this reply has since been deleted) What joy do you get from dumping on someone's good memories of their dad? It's cruel and it's petty. Knock it off.
@@ammaar666you use the PP of a stoic and warrior man but write shit of others ? So ironic !
@@ammaar666 Is what most here would say about your funeral announcement. F off dude wtf let the guy share a story in a comment section jesus christ.
@@ammaar666 You are objectively incorrect. The worst type of incorrect.
My dad crossed the rainbow bridge tonight. (After a long battle with cancer) I feel that this song, along with the toast I have now given him, is a fitting farewell. Skål 🍻 dad! May you find peace and comfort in the mighty halls ❤
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I feel for you. I wish your strength for the hard time to come (my own experience). Be proud and thankful to have had such a father. May he now rest in peace. 🙏
@@TrauDich69 Thank you
Skal
May your father rest in peace. Skål !
Mein Beileid 😢 He is now in a better place.
Skal!
Look At that, not a phone anywhere, just vikings being vikings
I love the lines "Men of War and men of care, maidens fierce and maidens fair", too many people focus on the "warrior" aspect of medieval Scandinavian culture when there were more craftsfolk, farmers, merchants, etc than there were warriors, and the call of SKOL is for all of them ❤
"Men Of War" .........
Most Norse men where farmers and craftsmen viking was an action not a job or title
It wasnt even that war-like of a culture, vikings, at most were raiders. They were mostly peacefull folks with like you said farmers, fisherman and merchants.
Just like every culture, they partook in war and raiding, but not like you see in civilizations like celts, turks, mongols or even Zulus.
Norse culutre and Germanic culture for that matter put a lot off value on strength, so also on warriors in a way, you are right though. Nowadays we still see a lot of germanic's dominating strength based sports which is pretty cool.
@@Northy777. "Men Of Care" .........
There is something amazing in Vikings culture, their music, their beliefs, eveveryting about them is beautiful. Ofc it was not so beautiful in old times, but still.
To see them all acting out the viking lives makes me so happy. Its so innocently wholesome that so many people came together because they know people love the viking theme of their songs. Makes me wanna give them all hugs.
These costumes are pretty cringe. Doesn't look in anyway close to realistic viking apparel.
The vigor, the energy, the chants and the authenticity. Really feels like hearing a legendary song. Well done again guys, this is going to stay on repeat for a while. SKÅL!
Countdown to people on the clock app claiming it's actually an ancient Viking song in 5,4,3,2... 😆
@@miracleofsound LOL 😂 But wait.... you mean it isn't an ancient Viking song?!👀😆 Jokes aside, I definitely plan to make a dance video to this someday in full Viking cosplay💚
I have this one on repeat ever since !
@@regisofcorvobianco you should! That'd be cool. I do that but with pirate music
@@novustalks7525 That's so nice! I saw your tiktok, absolutely love it!
I love your Viking songs. They make me feel so strong.
Awakes something in you, doesn't it?
A draw to the Viking life - the friends, the travel, the roast meat, the mead, even the fighting.
An age of way less people, so wild animals were more abundant and war was (overall) less destructive, too.
@@theregalproletariat it’s calling to me. VALHALLA CALLING ME.
If you want viking songs, listen to Skalti, Wardruna or Heilung for example. Here we have a song about viking, not the same ;)
(But still a great song :p )
@@theregalproletariat Pfhah, there was also much less food to go around because there both weren't as many people farming, and also not as many innovations as we have now.
The Viking songs make me want to invade Norway in a maid costume
All real vikings gives a like
Yup you mean vikingr
There is nothing viking about this cringe ass music
skål
And subscribe!
💪🏻🪓
Viking was a job description not a people ffs
I wish the Thor movies collaborated with miracle sound to have the rich nordic music be a part of the ethos of Valhalla in the cinematic universe. Can you imagine Thor entering singing this with his Asgardian brethren. Perfection.
That would be amazing
Thor in marvel is a joke and he should have nothing to do with the real Thor or norse culture.
@@12b_engineer Marvel Thor has *never* had anything to do with the real Thor or Norse culture, dude. Calm down. lmfao
As a swede with a interest in the viking era your songs are a great tribute to the rich nordic history. And as a gamer i realy like your game themed music as well.
We who inherited the homelands of the Vikings need to ensure our history remains for eons to still come.
Tills vi möts i Valhall!
Ah another Swede!🫡
@@Battlefang I agree on that to 100%, and yes it´s Valhall or Valhöll! "Valhalla" is a modern invention :)
Nämen😂😂
Over trow the Muslim hordes that invaded your home land.
You suit these viking songs so much, I can tell you must enjoy making them!
Epic as always.
Thanks! 🙂 I don't want to milk them to death so I'll be doing different stuff in 2023, but yeah Viking-y songs are fun to make :)
@@miracleofsound I look forward to seeing what's to come!
Regardless of what you produce I always love em'.
@@miracleofsound They're fun to hear! Over and over again.
@@miracleofsound not to belabor the viking point, but it'd be super cool to see a Last Kingdom themed song from you!
really awesome to hear that you're planning to keep making different stuff, I've loved your stuff for a while so I'm glad that you're going to keep it up
looking forwards to hearing more of your awesome music
Now my new go too song! Amazing!
Narrator 😮
Skål!!
same here
Lol. Should have expected that you’d find this gem.
SKÅL!
Listened to this while doing some chores around the house the other day, my kids had it on repeat for a few hours.
These songs just keep getting better and better, your music is so full of emotion it really lifts you and makes you feel like you can do anything.
Glad it moves you! 🙂🤘
@@miracleofsound brother…I love your music an absolute ton of love but please, Don’t milk this one 😂
@@Paleo_P1anet Hey it's not my fault everyone wanted to hear 5 million versions of Valhalla Calling and kept nagging me for it lol 🤷
@@miracleofsound Valhalla Calling was just too good :D
Now all I want is this song and "Valhalla Calling Me" to be remade in Norse language, so we can sing it just like "Þat mælti mín móðir..." 😉
I added a translation on Valhalla calling me. It's hard to sing though as the length and pronunciation of the words don't match the speed of the song
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 I guess changing the lyrics a bit should help with that. I've heard few different versions of "My Mother Told Me" and none of them is a 1:1 translation of the original.
"my mother told me" is originally told in norse, it's been extracted from a longer saga, translated to english and made into a song :D
@@voximperatoris1175 I know that, Jackson Crawford made a video about it 😉
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620where can I find it?
Viking On 🔥
If we all shared this kinship, the world would be a much merrier place.
Used to be like this in a few places. If someone showed up at your door or village in general then it was common practice to give them food, drink and some times even a warm place to sleep
As a 'fierce maiden' from the lil viking country of Denmark, this has earned official approval
'As a fierce maiden'. Good one. 😂
Everyone knows that there are no girls in internet. It's common knowledge. Come on dude.
@@Ataor lol
@@Ataor One of the old rules of the internet. I don't think they're valid since phones got internet though. At least the first few.
As an Italian descended from Roman warriors I hope the Vikings awaken in Sweden as strong as they were centuries ago and as they are still strong in Viking land Denmark 🦉👍
Greetings Vikings from an Italian polytheistic pagan 👏👏👏🦉
I found this song yesterday. I think I've listened to it over 40 times now. It's just too good. I didn't think valhalla calling could be surpassed, but this one just did it for me. Miracle of sound has done it again. You guys are the best.
Glad you enjoy it so much! I love this lil' song too 🙂
@@miracleofsoundКрасавцы👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥😀
SKÅL
Nothing can motivate you be strong and to tolerate hardship moments than this song!!!
Most songs describe the woes of being alone and focusing on a great battle. But I adore how this one is all about community, about there being room for everyone at the table, about fighting the battles together. As someone who has felt deeply alone and estranged in the world, I long for connectedness such as this; with people who speak my language, long to live in the fantasy world I do, and are on the same path as I am. May God bless me with such a welcoming tribe one day.
Also loved “men of war and men of care, maidens fierce and maidens faire” outlining the amazing qualities that both men and women can possess. Very well done, as always.
May Odin bless you with such a welcoming tribe some day.
I am nearly ready to start building a sustainable Norse Pagan 'Viking' village in the midwest United States. Will need like-minded people to join the clan.
If they make more Viking shows they need more of this
There's no denying you nail it with creating the atmosphere of your songs, Gav. Have a blessed day and keep up the good work.
4,8 million so just my views?
Now it's 16 million. Finally it added mine.

I played this for my dog. He told me his name is Fenrir now
This song was like the touch of an old friend from another life... Skål 🍻🍻🍻
"all are welcome, take a chair" is such a badass line and i am going to cherish it till my grave and maybe a bit beyond
I like how this song is powerful while also being so fun and welcoming! There's a horn of mead and room at the table not just for men of war, but also men of care, and maidens both fierce and fair!
¡SKÄL! ¡SKÄL! A toast and a thundering song 💪💪❤❤
Viking themed MiracleofSound tracks are always a welcome treat.
Unlocked Achievement: [Epic Weekend Soundtrack Acquired.]
If this is your last Nordic song for a while you're going out on a hell of a high.
VIKINGS & VIKINGS VALHALLA !!! Both are Man of War and Man of Care. Love it !!!
Vikings rule, this song rules, miracle of sound rules
These Viking Songs are always so uplifting and empowering! They’re the perfect cure whenever I’m feeling down! I can’t get enough of them!
You can never go wrong with vikings,they may have spent a lot of their time farming at home,but they were deadly in battle 🍺SKÅL!
👍I've decided to add extra likes every time I rewatch to songs that really spark me
I find your Viking music very authentic and true to its culture. Keep up the amazing work.. ❤️❤️
only one thing bothers me in the video: women's makeup. Should be more natural, that's all :D
Agreed, the Viking music is by far my favourite works of yours, make more please
Thank you! I am just having fun making these songs, I don't intend them to be super authentic. I recommend Wardruna if you want to hear real authentic Nordic folk! They are wonderful
@@miracleofsound Thanks for the recommendation.❤️ Will hear it out.
@@miracleofsound Imagining Wardruna/MOS collab. No one's ready for that amount of epic.
My fiance and I are plannig a wedding that is viking themed to celebrate our heritage. I can ensure you this song will be played at our wedding in some capacity. I believe honestly this would make an amazing first first dance song possibly! Thank you for this!
Congratulations on the wedding
Congrats!
Woo! Best of luck on the nupinals! When my brother planned his wedding the first time the pandemic hit! So yeah... be careful and don't jinx it!
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈

I would pay good money to hear an entire album of Viking drinking songs.
I swear Gavin is a fucking genius when it comes to writing a chorus
If I can come up with a good chorus the rest of the song usually writes itself. Easier said that done haha!
I'm not your typical fan, I'm 67 years old middle class, middle England but I just love what you do. Love your Gaellic influences. So descriptive, so evocative.
Thanks for listening!
This is my favorite performance. It's amazing, SKÅL !!!
If alien beings came here we would be the klingons of this galaxy.
Damn this was such high production value that for a sec I was like "Wait I don't remember seeing these characters on Vikings"
They aren't from vikings. These people are part of the on stage crew for The Beard Struggle.
Thank y’all for mentioning men of care and maidens fierce, it feels like songs of this type I stumble upon only ever have men of war and fair maidens for them
If your saying that women are fierce in combat only a certain few in history have actually seen battle and joined in war
@@natsudragneel231 Participation of women in warfare in humanity's history is abundent and documented, at least enough to be mentioned in a XXIst century song.
@@AgentSwiffer no disrespect intended of course but the only few I've heard are the lady of the dark and the night witchs
I just found out I'm of Viking blood and 1 percent rare Yorkshire line. Love you guys 🎉
Your songs are amazing 🤩 our whole family is descendants of vikings and your songs make us feel stronger, keep it up you are amazing 🥰
These Nordic themed songs are clearly your best works! Keep it up!
Anytime he's put out sth "dark/tribal/nordic", we had a banger on our hands.
That honor goes to the halfman's song. These are a very close second
I'll raise my horn to this. Well done, miracle of sound. I love these Viking themed and style songs, it speaks well of my ancestors.
I love this song! Never too much of Skol!
i slept on this song for the longest time, and now i can not stop listening.
Thank you for providing us with such amazing music over and over again
You are one of the few musicians that i literally love every piece you have made/been in volved in. You are incredibly talented and every song you produce is dripping with your tangible passion for what you do. Thank you Gavin.
Great songs as always Gav. Your lower register voice fits really well with the thunderous percussion and the warlike theme of Viking songs. Another one to add to my Spotify list and raise a drinking horn to!
Odin is smiling upon this comment with a horn raised in glee!
You're invited to the ship my brother
Today's my birthday and I have this song on repeat.... I love everything viking 😍
It’s things like this that make me proud of my Viking heritage Skål!
That's really cool that you have that!
A epic masterpiece.. 10/10
As a swede.. I must yell this out:
SKÅL!!!.
Skal!!! brother.
Hail to Odin!!!
SKÅL Hail Òdinn
My soundtrack for my birthday. Thanks for being with me
You’re songs remind me that the strength of the All father is in all of us
I think I just fell in love!! "Men of war and men of care, Maidens fierce and maidens fair"??!!! Where do you ever hear that??? ❤❤❤ Also I think to me it's probably the perfect LARP song cause that's basically what it feels like when you return to your camp after battle and sit down around the fire pit for dinner with your brothers and sisters in arms!! ❤
As a swede you bring out my inner shield maiden to sing and roar! 😁 Love the music you make!!
SKÅL TO YOU (from one swede to another)
we need an hour long version of this... this and Valhalla calling... are two songs that get me pumped for almost anything!
Your music makes me feel at ease keep it going
I just put this song on loop cuz it just lift your mood and spirit no matter what you’re doing and makes everything epic
SKAL! The energy is insane I've listened to this on repeat for hours!
Always playing this one!
My newborn listened this song when he was in my belly...today he is 5 days old,and he still love it, you are amazing, this is his lullaby!
A true vikingr indeed
Amazing Viking 🎶.. Love ❤ from India 🇮🇳

I find this song very relaxing
Viking too the bone.

What a banger! The welcoming nature reflects how they would include people from many ethnic and religious backgrounds in their settlement and traded with many cultures! A Nordic song that won't be misinterpreted!
I thought they were a murderous bunch no?
@@novustalks7525 That's a stereotype which is mostly a misconception, but also, like most stereotypes, has some truth to it.
@@bxzidffbxzidff I get you
It's no sterotype
Vikings burned and looted all the churches and monasteries in the north of England.
Ancient books were burned, slaves taken, women raped.
Farms put to the torch,
And executions called the blood eagle.
Where you would be put upright on a cross and your lungs opened from the back, would be draped over your shoulders.
It took a long time to die.
King Harold annihilated a viking army at Stamford bridge, before
Marching 200 miles south in 6 days, to confront William the conquerers army at Hastings.
@@novustalks7525the _vikings_ as such may have been, but they were no more similar to the norse folk "at home" as the pirates were to the British or Spanish a few centuries later.
And even the Viking pirates and raiders settled down to trade after a while
Je suis viking en esprit ce son me transforme ❤❤
Im not even European, but this song gives me the appreciation of all groups of people of a land being brotherly and fierce in spirit! I admire that!
Gavin, This song... it is getting me through a time of grief... i lost a friend recently, and he was an asatru. he would have loved this song to be sung at his wake... and indeed it will be. thank you for making this song of life, of love, and of joy... he is no longer in pain, and yet i miss him so much :'(
Great song guys! SKÅL!!! From Sweden 🇸🇪
