Eivør | 'Falling Free' | Live in Tórshavn | First time Reaction/Review

[@amanda7913]

Dude, you have to react to her live version of "Trollabundin" as well. I get goosebumps every time

[@MrFluKeKe]

This....do this. Trollabundin is very very special.

[@mrsnedk]

Eivør is fantastic - gorgeous, charismatic, funny; one of those artists who are at their best live. I've been to her concerts twice, amazing experiences. She has done some live streams from her home during the pandemic, they can be found on her channel. She and Floor are my favourite female vocalists. I'm glad you found her! I think you might be interested to hear Trøllabundin next.

[@willasacco9898]

Ditto

[@maxmacpherson1957]

Eivor is an amazing musician. You mentioned Kate Bush so you should really listen to Eivor's cover of Hounds of Love, it's sublime!

[@onelittlelaurie]

Yay, I’m so glad you reacted to her! I agree that Trollabundin live is the way to go if you want to hear more - there are several versions but this one is special due to the beautiful outdoor venue on a Norwegian fjord, which really suits the music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raTPXn5-fMpngc0 Her performance of Salt at the train warehouse is also worth a listen.

[@TomTomson81]

The wonderful Eivør. My favorit song and performance from her. This song is a constantly build up.

[@jeffbowden8367]

Damn dude, that was amazing, so thanks that’s another back catalogue of albums to listen too. She was involved in the soundtrack to The Last Kingdom, an epic historical BBC series with vikings (they get everywhere don’t they 🤣) As always dude top reaction ❤️🇬🇧

[@darrensmith3337]

She's a bit special isn't she? Try some of her other stuff she's all over the place. Rock, folk, electronic, the lot. Welcome to her world!

[@glacieractivity]

Sadly, Eivør gets way too little love. Some pick up this where she goes full Rock-symphonic. Some pick up on "Trollabundin" where she shows off her throat-singing capabilities in a "stripped/unplugged" concert visiting us in the venue of yet another pretty Norwegian fiord. Few bother with how she does modernistic scandi jazz/fusion. Or folk/trad singing (that her degree is on). Everyone should instantly become a member of her youtube channel as she now and then stream a little live concert that makes the world a better place. She is "interesting" if one is one of the few who bothers to actually listen to music in this day and age.

[@jimmorris67]

I like hear performance of the song Salt live in the train warehouse she’s great

[@adriennevanhoof6637]

Im glad you react to this amazing song🧡❤

[@mightyravendark932]

YES!!! Finally you got to experience Eivors beautiful musical magic:) She is definetly one of my favorite artists. And yes now when you are stuck to her you must listen to Trollabundin live. Maybe her first hit? It`s a little bit older. And her cover of Leonard Cohens "Famous Blue Raincoat" from this concert is absolutley fantastic. Great reation as always btw:)

[@jolanas.5426]

Great reaction video! Thank you very much for it! :) I love Eivør, I've seen her live in fall 2019, amazing experience. It was a one woman show, she concerted without her band, but made us feel like the stage was full of people (with the help of some backing tracks and looping). One of the last concerts I've been to before covid hit. :( I also recommend Trollabundin live, the one with the beautiful nature surroundings! Also, I enjoyed her recent Gullspunnin - live on KVF video. Interesting fact: She performed May It Be by Enya (from LOTR) at a gala for Danish queen. It's on youtube. :)

[@69256cb4e801b314b74a]

Thank you for such a lovely and interesting reaction. Eivor is definitely one of best singers that I heard ever, and most closed to my heart. Her voice can make you flutter like a leaf in the wind. In addition, the range of genres in which she sings and composes music is strikingly wide - from songs like shamanic to a music for a theatrical performances. By the way she was awarded as best singer and best performer of the year in Iceland when she was only twenty, even despite she is not native icelandic, and also received many other awards during years. Please check sometime the video "#ISLANDROADS presents EIVØR", her singing there was simply heavenly.

[@brittag.pedersen5340]

She is so incredible goood!!!!!!!

[@joop558]

I a following all her houseconcerts, amazing!

[@anirenka]

Mindblowing performance 🤩🤩

[@leecottam4598]

Her voice is insanely good. When you think of some of the commercial chart music we have to listen to, Eivør blows them all out of the water.

[@MotherofUnicornsProductions]

Tors -havn (Thor's Haven). But other than that I totally agree with you. It's always fun watching people listen to her and esp this song for the first time. She has so many amazing songs. It think my other favourite is Salt - sang in Faroese.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Ah! Thor's Haven sounds much cooler than 'Tor-shawn' 🤦‍♂️ haha

[@phonixtraum9214]

please more eivor for all those who haven't realised there are fully satisfying artists out there ( like tool, aurora, nightwish, heilung etc.) thank you !

[@nunogarces1628]

What an amazing way to start off my Wednesday morning. Thank you Thomas

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

shoutout to this excellent sound engineering as well

[@MisterJ56]

Tomas, talking about heavenly, this song reminded me of a song by Anneke van Giersbergen (Dutch), the woman who's responsable for Floor getting into "Metal" (and still one of Floor's BFF"s). The song is called *_"Waking Hour"_* (live at Doornroosje (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) TG25): kzbin.info/www/bejne/poauc4lugsSLjqc

[@nightwishfannl5762]

Oeehh how beautiful! A perfect lullaby to get me into a peaceful sleep right now 😇😴 Great to get to know her stunning voice through your reaction ☺ Def gonna listen to this a LOT! I love this kind of music. Like you say,this is heavenly. Can't wait for tomorrow to listen to more songs of her/them! Thank you Thomas and have a nice day 😀

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks Denise! Definitely great music to hear before sleeping. 😃

[@nightwishfannl5762]

@@ThomFoolery1 hey Thomas,you have to listen to Davina Michelle( also a Dutch singer). She did the interval act at the Eurovision Songefestival, yesterday. I will put the link here 😉. Its stunning! I hope you will like it,but i think you will. Thanks ☺

@@nightwishfannl5762 That was great! Thanks for sharing. I particularly enjoyed the high level of production. I'm excited for the final! Especially since there'll be a crowd. You must happy that Netherlands are hosting. 😁

[@nightwishfannl5762]

@@ThomFoolery1 Awww i was hoping for a reaction vid 😭 but i wasn't clear about that haha. Yes, the production was 👌 and so special,typically for the Netherlands-the water. Honestly i don't care about the songfestival at all because most songs suck 😝. But ya,it's a bit special this year since the Netherlands presents.

[@Z_TPI]

Definitely check out her song Trodlabundin live - kzbin.info/www/bejne/raTPXn5-fMpngc0 Its a traditional style folk song in her native Faroese language

[@bazkeen]

She is amazing. Always reminds me of Aurora or Agnes Obel. Fell in love with this the first time I heard it Great reaction If you like this, try "Agnes Obel - The Curse (Berlin Live Session)" Won't put the link in. YT can be a bit strange about that at times

[@ThomFoolery1]

Cheers Basil! Not heard of her before but I've saved the video. 🙂

[@bazkeen]

@@ThomFoolery1 A very haunting song👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@maianation]

Eivor is divine! ☺️

[@MADNESS_NH_97]

Please react to "Lubimiy Gorod" by Till Lindemann.

[@alfogel3298]

One of the most underrated vocalists in the world! In America this song 50,000 people would be screaming and a standing ovation for 10 minutes. Her “ May it be” ( from lord of the rings) is beautiful!!!!! Al

[@juggletom]

Thank you, for this incredible reaction. I felt like i was hearing the Song for the first time again. And a good Analysis of the technik too.

[@DarkMatterBurrito]

One tiny quibble. The town is called "Thor's Haven" in English, so "tors-hahven".

[@WardDorrity]

Eivør is a Nordic spirit who walks among us. She has no equal. When she chants, that's her Nordic goddess rising up out of her human persona. No other explanation suffices.

[@kentmains7763]

Absolute goddess.

[@slavaukraini404]

The Bass drop is killer, but not as killer as her vocals. Eivor makes difficult things look easy. Her transitions and pitch are beyond belief.

[@stephsteph4574]

Thanks you reacted to Eivør! I love her! This is one of my favourite live performance ever! She did the soundtrack to netflix series "The last kingdom". There are some live versions on youtube, too. Please do more of her, she's fantastic! "Salt" or "Gullspunnin", "Trollabundin" live would be so cool!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks for suggesting it! She's awesome and I'll definitely try and find more from her. 😄

[@mentaliusDK]

I have tickets to a concert in September...looking very much forward to it:)

[@SmaRiss1]

ABSOLUTELY!!! Underrated! Please listen to Goldspunnin too. I love this song of hers as well.

[@mnimic1]

Just for your information Eivør is touring in USA and Canada in this right moment 🤌🏻🇫🇴

[@tracylf5409]

Thomas Pearson Your explanation is spot-on. Check her other work.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

truth live at studio bloch and boxes live recording 2012! the first displays her lower register while the second one is a brilliant example for her higher register.

[@ravondal1958]

Can you comment on Eivor - into the mist ! Please :) Thank you!

[@raspberryripple88]

Just making a repeat recommendation for you to check out Elvellon, an amazing German symphonic metal band :) Theyre a relatively new band - theyve only just signed to Napalm records- and well worth checking out. A good song to start with is a live performance of 'Until Dawn', which is a brilliant song, very Nightwish-esque, and shows off the entire band :)

[@cryforthemoon]

Her voice totally reminded me a lot of Kate Bush at times. Sometimes I hear a bit of Bjork, but given the location she is from it could be a regional thing popping through.

[@roarsthre6015]

She is singing about her longing to fall into the enormous eternal love of our creator and father. Our greatest love of all, Lord Jesus ❤

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

i'm sure i've reccomended them one day, now again: susanne sundfor anna von hausswolff agnes obel ásgeir hjaltalín sóley

[@livus3787]

III, JUST commented another reactors vid (on another artists reaction, it's Avi Kaplan you might like his songwriting/production & *deep* voice as well) about this stupid fear today of "comparison" but I now realize it must be an american thing? 🤔 they merge the meaning with "ranking" for some reason.. Comparison is good, it's a tool, a skill, to get to know things and ways AND ourselfes better, what we like or *don't* like and *why* k tx bye, love Eivor, maybe react to her live Trollabundin 😁✌️🤟

[@ThomFoolery1]

I actually agree with you, mostly. I'm always making comparisons in my head and mention it a lot in my videos. However, some people seem to get very touchy and have roasted me before for making some comparisons so I try to dial it back. I don't think it's so much a nationality thing, many of these comments have come from fellow Europeans and beyond. I personally think some people are just a bit overzealous when it comes to supporting their favourite artist and get triggered when someone compares them to another.

[@livus3787]

yeah got you!

[@SunsingerDarkdrinker]

Is she Norwegian? Absolutely gorgeous country and there singers are second to none. Damn I'm moving abroad.

[@ThomFoolery1]

She is from the Faroe Islands. 🙂
