LYRICS:/
En skikkelse lå der på bakken
så vond at de blomster rundt visnet
en dyster sjel lå der på bakken
så kald at alt vann ble til is
En skygge da falt over skogen
da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort
for skikkelsens sjel var en skygge
en skygge av vondskapens makt

The classic song Jesus' Tod (Jesu Død) by Burzum released on the album Filosofem. Always been a favorite of mine, so why not give a go and give it a vocal melody and an acoustic arrangement.
The melancholy in Burzums songs has always been what has appealed the most to me, and the chords, the melody of Jesu' Død is in my opinion one the songs that captures this the most: death, nature, the meditative repetitiveness in the chords and tonality.
In my opinion the black metal songs of Burzum are built for versions like this. Many black metal songs and rock songs require much rearrangement to play acoustically, but not Burzums song. In that respect I guess one could call it folk metal. Straight forward chord structures, and songs that are easy to learn and play.
- Leiv Reed
The guitar is tuned in an alternate "G minor tuning", D A D g a# d, only a few steps more down, B or somewhere around there. The main thing is double drop D (both e strings down to d), but also lower the b string a half tone. Ideal for playing tunes in G minor, D minor, F, A#. The tuning came to me when trying to decipher the Sun Kil Moon song, Heron Blue. It's not very often that minor tunings are used. To my knowledge I only know one: Skip James. He used to tune his guitar in D minor.
For the recording I used a Zoom Handy Recorder, an Alhambra nylon string guitar, Logic Pro X. All tracks were recorded on the Zoom Handy Recorder, and then mixed in Logic. I also added a subtle synth to it.
The filming was done with an iPhone. Alrite. That's it. Thanks for watching.

Really how impressive how loose this is in some deliveries, but comes together to sound so tight and uniform. Great cover.

Thank you. I agree with you. It’s very loose, and I think the arrangement could have profited from spending a little more time on perfecting it. Anyway. Thank you for listening.

the first who manages to grasp the true spirit of the song, this song is a masterpiece regardless of who composed it, certainly Varg is not a nice person but he is an excellent artist. Proof of this is the extreme versatility of his songs that are not limited to the idiotic cliché of Satanism but go deeper into reflection and philosophy. And this is what his songs do, as if they were living beings other than the creator of them, it's something magnificent.

Varg actually sounds like a very nice person, no matter how normies want to crucify him for bot conforming. Whether you damn Varg or understand people have different perspectives is more of an IQ test, to he honest.

Thank you very much my friend.what a romantic company your music is. Nice remake. You put work on it its not just a play on acoustic guitar. Metal music is cathartic. My healing era has a lot of metal and especially black helped a lot at black times.

Sometimes you remind me Quorthon, but with flamenco, more classical influences. Thank you for your talent. I think that you pull out the romanticism that dwells inside black metal songs. Great, really great version, my friend!

@LeivReed 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Dietrich! I think maybe two of the most important sources for making these version was after listening a lot to the album Admiral Fell Promises by Sun Kil Moon and studying that playing style I discovered the structure of especially Burzum and Darkthrone songs had a lot of similarity to “neo-folk” style music such as that album by SKM, but maybe also older things like American early styles of blues such as Skip James or maybe even the British, Incredible String Band (Robin Williamson) and Scottish, Alasdair Roberts. Thank you for listening and writing, Dietrich. I am very grateful that we are able to communicate thanks to common interests in music!

That’s interesting to tune to the a#, I play a lot of metal/black metal of my own in Dadgad and I can hear a lot of crossover but maybe I’ll try and leave my 5th string on a# and see how I get along. Beautiful work, keep coming back to this song

@LeivReed 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! And interesting to hear about your take on this concept. I always start tuning the guitar to the original and finding a tuning that fits the mood, and then adjust the pitch after to my voice, if needed.

@LeivReed 4 жыл бұрын

For the last one I did I used a g minor tuning as a starting point, which is very close to the tuning in this song. Dadfa#d and if you lower the bottom a you have an open G minor, as you might now already.
