[@hagbard611]

Would highly recommend seeing Eivor live. One of my best experiences in Uppsala. Amazing artist.

[@snerkjen]

Lovely to see you have found Eivør. She is a gem beloved all over Scandinavia and beyond. I call her style and sound north atlantic. You find it in Norway, Iceland, Scotland, Ireland and England. We love female voices like her and Auroras, they are so extremely feminine! Her chanting is very old style, it is called “galdr” in old norse! Roots back to the Viking times. And she comes from the Faroe islands, right smack in old viking country! Their language are related to Icelandic.

[@georgelynch6139]

The sound tech on the board is a active member of the performance. Different echo depths and reverb intensity on almost every vocal passage, hands on control. Also her live performance endings are meandering & unstructured and just winging it with the flow which gives her that “personalized” special connection with her audience which is usually in a jaw dropping trance by the end.

[@bastiangugu4083]

When this fantastic singer opens her mouth I get goosebumps all over.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

whatever she does, be it a studio or a live version, she never fails to amaze with her absolute voice and talent. one song is for sure well worth a reaction, too, it's called "wake me up" live. she is a league of her own

[@Rosannasfriend]

Thank you for watching one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in my whole life… This has always been one for the record books to me.

[@Drinckx2]

The way this song builds reminds me a little of Travel by The Gathering with the wonderful Anneke van Gierbergen. Very different vocals although both brilliant. I love singers like this that are so free with their vocals. She reminds me a little of Elizabeth Fraser from the Cocteau Twins. A bit of Aurora, a bit of Bjork. All artists that do their own thing and do it perfectly.

[@Rackelhane]

Eivor is fantastic. I heard her the first time in swedish TV in a series about the first people that lived in The northen scandinavia. She was performing a song by Anders Hagberg (a swedish muscian )called "Stenristarna" Its 20 years ago. I hade that piece of music in my early flyfishingfilms on the tube. A wonderful piece of music that reminds me of the samipeople and the mountains in north of sweden. Thank you for a great reaction.❤️

[@sreneethomas]

What was the documentary called?

[@Rackelhane]

@@sreneethomas The documentry had the same name as Anders Hagbergs piece of music.."Stenristarna" He realeased a cd with the same namn. The documentry was for the swedish TV. You can look for Anders Hagberg and Stenristarna on the tube. The music is there.

[@DrSkeff]

I absolutely love this song, and especially this performance. Her voice is ethereal and she also reminds me of Kate Bush in some places. Great reaction Christi and I love how you “feel” the music.

[@UltimaSRi]

Met her a few months ago... she had a concert just 5mins from my home for only a twenty ppl.. magic!

[@TheVoiceLoveCo]

This quite literally takes my breath away! Magic, indeed! You are blessed, dear friend. WOW!!!!!!! I wish I could listen to you unpack that experience from start to finish. I'm so happy for you! 🌟

Ok. This is one I have been waiting for. Can't wait. I absolutely love this song.

[@abracadabra3033]

Eivor is a Goddess

[@discussdebate]

This performance is one of few flawless performances!! \m/

[@slavaukraini404]

Yes, Eivor is always flawless and the pitch is perfect also.

[@Vixxing21]

When i heard Kate Bush "wuthering heights" back in 84 on MTV at my uncles place i was entralled by haunting female voices! Then the song "midnight blue" with Louise Tucker solidified it in my heart! I was 10 years old and the love for haunting female voices stay with me still, anno 2024! 40 years who would have thunk? ;) Eivors is one of the bestest!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Some people have said that there’s too much reverb in this performance… And I do hear that from about 7:30 onwards. But it adds to the ethereal beautiful atmosphere created by the song and by her vocals. So I like it!

[@livus3787]

I feel like it is more put on the ends of her phrases so they last longer/feel etheral (not sure if that is reverb or delay, am a simple listener 😅) but I love it, especially when at her chanting part, she picks up the "end" of the notes and the reverb makes it sound like some kind of sea bird in a dark northern seastorm 😍

[@valentindorgal6852]

I discovered her as she was one of the opening acts for Heilung with Lili Refrain. The whole venue was silent and suspended in time during her set and the whole night was magical. She went straight to my playlist of favorites.

[@kentmains7763]

My favorite artist, she's just amazing!

[@iczero1224]

This is in my top 5 songs and performances of all time and I’m old, she is so underrated and for me one of the greatest artist of our generation, up there with floor and Fabian

[@davidcoverdale722]

I normally listen to Black Metal and this is in my top three songs ever. I was lucky to catch her at a festival that mixed black metal and Scandanavian folk recently. Epic

[@johnjohn37371]

In my head, I've got Eivør in a group with Aurora and maybe Kate Bush. Floor and Lara, they are in a separate category. Really gorgeous, but their voices don't get me like the first group does. Hope Sandoval is in that first group, as well. Maybe I'm just weird...

[@roykilgour9790]

​@@johnjohn37371I don't know why you compare Arora with Eivør. Arora is a nice singer, but she is not at all in the high category of Eivør. Arora can't sing the high notes like Eivør at all. Arora is popular as a sweet innocent nice singer. When you hear Eivør, you hear a unique voice that is among the best and strongest female voices that have ever existed. Eivør is unique and does things in her own unique way. Aurora has chosen to become popular by singing pop music with a slightly mysterious, strange performance that makes her more visible on the world's music scene. Eivør is just Eivør who is not like other popular singers. Eivør's strong voice completely dominates the other female singers. And besides that, Eivør's voice is perfect for the music and lyrics she performs with. Many times people do not understand her songs because Eivør often sings in her old Nordic language which is Faroese. Other times Eivør sings in English but often people forget to listen to her words because they are so fascinated by her voice. This song she sings here is actually a very deep and sad song. Eivør grew up on the Faroe Islands surrounded by mountains and deep valleys where the sea controls the fate of the islands and people. A very large part of the population of the Faroe Islands sails on all the seas of the world because the Faroese grow up together with the sea and mountains, so the sea and mountains become part of their life and personality. The song is inspired by her home, the Faroe Islands.

[@johnjohn37371]

@@roykilgour9790 If you read my comment, you saw, " In my head...". I was speaking of the way a select group of female singers affect my psyche...they take me to a completely different place mentally... Aurora and Eivør are included in that group, along with Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Hope Sandoval, Sarah McLachlan...I was comparing no one, really. Style and technique really have nothing to do with it, it's just about what their music does to me🙂

[@musicfromtheheart100]

Love your reaction and deconstruction there, Christie! What I'm hearing in her sound are elements of, indeed, Kate Bush, like you said you recognized in it as well, but also Aurora, Heilung and Enigma. It's just a really lovely and enchanting, fairytale-like sound that grabs you and elevates you to a higher plane of existence.

[@PainInTheS]

So glad I started to find out who this singer was for The Last Kingdom.....Eivør! And so perplexed I never heard of her music....I know and have so much....and there's still stuff out there that's straight up my alley and haven't come across somehow.

[@AnnieNYC1]

Beautiful and ethereal and haunting and powerful. Fantastic skill and agility. Great performance. Great reaction! Missed you at the live chat.

[@Alvvays667]

Thank you Christi! This is a very nice request and analysis ❤️

[@jumpsteady1777]

I purchased the album online when I saw that there was a full live recording from the night she performed this. It's just an amazingly unique piece of music. I'm glad she's finally getting recognition. As little as she was known, getting to do vocals in the God of War games was a great exposure. Which is a perfect game for her style...feelings of mythological gods and viking era landscapes.

[@Drinckx2]

Love Kate Bush, who often surprises with her vocals, but I'd suggest that Eivør uses her voice as more of an instrument than Bush, especially toward the end when she goes off on one, rather brilliantly.

[@glacieractivity]

I agree. This is associated with the Nordic song tradition too, I guess - our female singers go vowel-hunting with their lokk/kulning (originally "galdr") traditional ways. At the same time, Kate Bush is more Avant Gard in her hunting grounds, if that makes any sense. It is interesting to me that Eivør here seems to blend lokk with Sami-like vocal techniques in places. It is really cool, check out around 10:30

[@Drinckx2]

@@glacieractivity Indeed, a touch of Mari Boine and Sámi throat singing in Eivør’s voice.

[@slavaukraini404]

Eivor is an instrument.

[@dougmoore7855]

She sings much like the Celtic singers of note. Could easily go into that genre. Never hear such music on radio. They seem to shy away from talent unfortunately. On the plus side, that's why I listen to you.

[@PK--ITA]

Thx Christi. I love her voice, so natural... The second track you mentioned is "Trøllabundin" And on top of that, these folk, tribal notes (also present in native Americans culture)

[@urhartfabeler]

It makes me want to listen and fill my heart with more music . .

[@dougmoore7855]

She reminds me of the singer on The Dark Side of the Moon. Iconic.

[@slavaukraini404]

She gets like that on her song Wake Me Up, only she exceeds Dark Side of the Moon and she does it live. Greatest vocalist I have ever heard is Eivor.

[@seanmurphy637]

I love this song and I loved your reaction and analysis Christi. Another great Scandinavian singer you should check out is Maria Franz. She is currently singing with the band Heilung. That is a completely new rabbit hole that you will love. It's is literally a different world to anything you have ever seen or heard. But incredibly beautiful and spiritual. In Maidjan is the song I would recommend. Live at Castlefest, Lifa concert. Back to Eivør. Christi, it may be interesting to you to know that Eivør has a very strong backround in Jazz. I think the first bands that she was in were Jazz bands. She since diversified into folk and rock but I think the jazz backround still influences her songwriting.

[@buza1300]

She's amazing😎💙👍

[@hansmolders1066]

She uses a form of 'joiking' which is a open throated form of yodeling. In that case closer to the stepping stone of throat singing, careful though, if done wrong, you can hurt your chords!

[@jumpsteady1777]

This is such a magical performance because she brings back a tradition some bands just don't do anymore. Her live performances are enhanced, special versions of her studio tracks often. She makes it a performance. Like the studio track of falling free is completely missing the end vocals and some of the bands intensity.

[@akyhne]

If you really want to hear her potential, listen to the video on KZbin called "Eivør - Vake me up // RTT" uploaded by Rob Snelling. It will absolutely floor you.

[@akyhne]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eQcql6erB9pMU

[@ShanLiB]

This is why I prefer her version of Enya's "May It Be" from Lord of the Rings that she sang at Queen Margrethe's 40th jubilee in 2012. In that performance it would be much better to wear headphones or earbuds b/c Eivør does some really subtle things with her voice that, almost subliminally, effect the tones/notes she is producing. Also, it seems like her high head voice is higher than the 'whistle" notes of some singers (e.g.: Mariah Carey, Morissette Amon, etc.). Does that mean "whistle" note is a technique and not a note on the scale?

[@charleshaertzen2784]

Hi Christi, love what you do. If you haven't already discovered him, you will find great pleasure checking out Vetas the Russian opera singer. His command of his vocal instrument and his showmanship are extraordinary. Start with the 7th element or Opera number 2. Enjoy - love to hear your reaction

[@victorbradshaw7359]

So sorry I missed the premiere but had to play a show last night for my birthday yea what a beautiful way to welcome in old age than to rock a large crowd

[@poolhallshark]

Hello again, Christi 🙂 Thank you so much for a very beautiful and thourough analysis of Eivör and this performance. This is probably one of my all time favorite performances, regardless of artist/band. Everything about it is just extremely beautiful IMO. Eivör holds third spot on my favorite female vocalist list, after Angelina and Aurora, in that order 🙂 There is one more performance that competes with this one, and that is Aurora's performance of "Through The Eyes Of A Child" at Nidarosdomen. Nidarosdomen is Norway's oldest and most beautiful cathedral, and dates back to the 11th century, right after the viking era. I am aware that you reacted to Auroa's stripped version of this one year ago, but I REALLY think you should take a look at this one as well, as I'm 100% sure you will just love it. At the very least, listen on your own time 🙂 Here is the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJSqaq2Kr9icqac Now I'm wildly and eagerly awaiting and anticipating your next reaction to Angelina, the future G.O.A.T.🥰 Much love and respect from Norway♥♥♥♥♥

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

with all respect but eivor outshines aurora effortlessly in every aspect. auroras concert at nidarosdomen is beautiful, but it's not even her best performance (in my opinion)

[@poolhallshark]

@@soleywolfgangsdottir 🙂❤️

[@lndtbs]

The improv section as you call it is very similar to ”joik” singing by the Sami people in northern Scandinavia.

[@Tribblepuppy]

I noticed that it has been many months since you reacted to Home Free. They have released several songs, but I think you will really enjoy Adam Rupp and his performance in Listen To The Music. Mind blowing stuff from him. Also, Austin Brown has released his studio version of Bring Him Home from the musical Les Miserables. He is so outstanding (have your tissues close by).

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

This is the quality ( as with Trodlabundin) of the the female voice that makes it sooooo beautiful. It is the tone that gets lost in operatic trained voices. It sounds so human, and not, at at the same time.

[@Doppeldropper]

She's good 😊 "Salt" is good too (yes I know she has other goodies too 🙂) 🤘🙂👍 ...with similar style/voice, do you mean Susanne Sundfør? E.g. her "White Foxes" is epic 😎

[@lottawiklund8606]

Thank you for a great breakdown of this beautiful performance. I've listened to it so many times, and it never fails to give me both goosebumps and misty eyes. :) I think you'd like the voice of Jonah Nilsson, the singer and keyboard player in the Swedish jazz fusion group Dirty Loops. The song "Breakdown", or maybe "Next To You", would be good ones, as they showcase his singing quite well. They're bonkers good, all three of them, in that group.

[@Dunkelheit_Schwarz]

Kate Bush is one of Eivor's inspirations, so you're spot on!

[@akyhne]

More Leonard Coohen. She grew up listening to all his albums, and she often sings some of his songs. I believe she has done one Kate Bush cover song.

[@paulhood5950]

Great reaction to a great song! ❤️ And I'm totally with you: some parts immediately made me think of Kate Bush and her special way of singing.

[@giovannigee]

As Eivør has a gift for singing, you certainly have a gift for analyzing and articulating what you are listening to. I do love that! Eivør has to be one of the greatest singers to have graced the airwaves in a long time. She continually pushes the boundaries in whatever she tackles. Your mention of her being the Nordic Kate Bush rings loud and clear. Kate is one of her idols and she has covered a number of her songs over the years. You must see her cover of 'Hounds of Love'. She embraces it with so much passion that she succeeds in reinventing and making the song like it was her very own. And the video is brilliant as well. It's a must-see! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIXYaZ6lbLx2Z8U Someone below also mentioned the Nordic singer Maria Franz... she is phenomenal as well. Early in her career, she emulated the quirkiness of Bjork in her Nordic progressive rock band called Euzen and then evolved and matured into a spectacular performer with her latest tribal Nordic folk band known as Heilung. In fact, Eivør and Heilung are touring together right this moment. They are playing at Red Rocks Colorado in 2 days. I sure wish I could go!!! Heilung evokes the earthy and spiritual sounds of the past and call their music 'amplified history'. Their song 'Anoana' is a vocal and visual stunner.. simply gorgeous. I highly recommend you analyze this one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYfFlJJ8rMena5I

[@giovannigee]

Also note.. what they wear in the video is what they wear in concert. They made their own costumes for their performances and many of their instruments as well. It's like literally stepping back in time..

[@RalphBellairs]

You might be interested in a couple of videos on KZbin from 2001 of Eivor performing as lead vocalist with the band Clickhaze when she was 18. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4LUipyIg9tqjdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6LXoH1mn8ygl5o

[@ulverop]

I can't find any Heilung reactions among your videos so I really, REALLY hope to see a reaction to the song Anoana, from their latest album. Simply just a breathtaking song and video. As I've seen many comment about their music, it is music you listen to with your soul, not your ears... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYfFlJJ8rMena5I

[@ulverop]

Eivør is a favorite of mine btw. I discovered her through this very song actually. Amazing artist! The words "I have been looking for you in every part of me" hits me like a freight train every time I hear it. I don't really know why...

[@victorbradshaw7359]

Ethereal is that the word you use for her voice

[@strangernightfire9618]

I am thinking someone should do a remake of the musical Rose Marie (the one with Indian Love Call in it) whth this lady in the Janet McDonald role.

[@ravondal1958]

I would like your analysis at the end so I can get to enjoy the whole song uninterrupted. Thank you. Down vote :(

[@mdnght_crttr]

I love that you get the same vibes from her music as I do. I do enjoy listening to your thoughts on it and just walk in your shoes for that little moment if that makes sense. I guess that's the whole point of reaction videos right? What kind of disturbed me a little bit was "the Nordic Kate Bush". I mean idk, does the world really needs a Nordic or whatever else version of someone? I think I totally get that you mean it probably more in a professional manner, as an example to point out that Kate Bush had a similar approach right? But still, I really don't feel like anybody deserves to be categorized as "just" a version of somebody else no matter the good intention behind it. To me it sounds wrong. Just my 2 cents and you appear as such a nice person to me that I felt like I want to share.

[@acimbobby]

Kate Bush spot on. This one can do it too. I get that Pink Floyd moment as well. It's all as you say Lady

[@frisco-2.0]
