Omg. I've watched so many silly reaction videos from you already (Ylvis comes to mind)! My uncle actually helped this band getting started way back, so we're all cheering for them! 🥰

Nice reaction😊 I love this song and performance, and I’m so glad we’re sending Gåte (gaw-teh) with this original song to Eurovision🤘 The genre is Norwegian folk music mixed with rock/metal About the song: The intro is an old “kulokk”. A “kulokk” is how the women called/calls the cows home to be milked in the summer (often in the mountains) So the chorus is inspired by this “kulokk” The song itself is inspired by a norwegian medieval folklore/ballade. Ulveham means wolfskin English lyrics: [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen] [Verse 1] “I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best [Chorus: Vocalization] [Verse 2] Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood [Chorus: Vocalization] [Outro: Vocalization, Storm] I thеn tore out her heart So her blood flowed free Then I got to drink my brothers' blood” Greetings from Norway🇳🇴

i love the last tone of gåtes songs. If I didnt know it was Gåte already, I would know by the final tone.

[@OhNoNotFrank]

The twist at the end of the folktale, as far as I recall, is that the evil stepmother spent eight years in the castle afraid of the wolf. When she finally did go out, it was to tell her husband (the King?) that she was pregnant with his child. Unfortunately for her, she met the wolf who attacked and ripped her heart out. Unbeknownst to everybody, the unborn child was a boy. So when the wolf ate her stepmothers heart, she also drank her brothers blood, breaking the curse.

The lyrics: I was such a beautiful maiden With an evil stepmother, my mother died She made me into a sword and a needle And sent me off to the King’s estate And the wrath my stepmother felt the most When the nicest liked me the best And then the chorus.. She gave me a skin, as grey as the wolf She cursed me to walk lonely in the woods Never will I be whole and well Until I get to drink my brother’s blood And the chorus again And this is what the guy is growling: So I ripped out her left side So her blood ran wild So I got to drink my brother’s blood Translating these lyrics isn’t the easiest, not even for me as a Norwegian. She sings in mostly Nynorsk and some of the words are very old, I actually had to Google the meaning of them.

I call this Valkyrie Rock 🤘🏻

[@jeschinstad]

The lyrics are awesome, but perhaps a few notches up from what an American could handle. :)

[@stephenrentzsch832]

Love seeing a yank get into foreign music, well done mate :)
