Eivør has sung for the entire series and now also in the film. Eivør comes from the Faroe Islands, which are 18 islands located alone in the North Atlantic Ocean. The people of the Faroe Islands are descendants of the Nordic Vikings and British Celts. The people of the Faroe Islands still speak the old Nordic language which is their first language. So Eivør is a descendant of Nordic Vikings and British Celts. Eivør sings in Faroese in this video and she actually often sings in Faroese in The Last Kingdom and in many live performances. She does this most often when the songs are about the North and Nordic history and culture. The way she sings is characterized by Nordic/Celtic songs and tones. Eivør is fantastic.

⚔ The Last Kingdom is the best show on Netflix you've never watched/heard of that you really should, LOL! All five seasons are great, and the new movie is as well! Eivor and John Lunn collaborated on the soundtrack for the show. They both create their own music, too, of course. KZbin made a couple of playlists of soundtracks that you can find by searching for their names and The Last Kingdom. You can also find videos of them playing the music and discussing it together on YT (made during Covid). Both are very creative people with warm hearts that love what they do. It's great! Eivor is from the Faroe Islands originally. She sings in Faroese, Icelandic, and many other languages, too. As for the breathing techniques? Those are centuries-old techniques apparently that Faroese women used to sing with all the time. It's a dying art she is trying to keep alive. I think it was used for many things, like calling in farm animals and such. I like to imagine it was used to call the men to meet to discuss the need to go to war to defend their village, but that's my imagination. It's been a while, but I remember hearing Eivor speak about this in an interview. Again, you will not be disappointed when you do watch the show! Eivor and John Lunn's work are the soundtracks, and the acting and cinematography are fantastic, too! Yes, some liberties are taken historically, but the show is set during the reign of Albert the Great--in the 9th century, so some things we will never know. You will laugh, cry, fall in love multiple times, and have your heart broken right along with the characters. Enjoy! ⚔ Destiny is all! ⚔

the only thing in this really great series is that the actors playing the main characters are all of the same age range, and while the story streches over many years, the characters don't age according to the time which passes. they could have spent a bit more effort into make up to show this. it would have made the show even better. it was way better than vikings

Eivor is just unbelievably awesome.

This is absolutely amazing, but every time I hear it, something deep and primal in my ancient Anglo-Saxon/Celtic/Gaelic mixed DNA metaphorically sh*ts itself!

this song is getting pretty intense, her throat singing sounds evil, badass viking warrior. and the eyes wide open like seconds before going wild with the battle axe!

good that you have fallen in love with her so we can expect more reactions!

While John Lunn is the show’s composer (he also did Downton Abbey) Eivør writes the parts she performs to.

i really love the song song tides: seven moonlit tears I cried tides collided in my eyes waves can wound a moonlit shore, but they can’t hurt me anymore tangled in my mother’s hair currents combed my bones bare her currents swirled though my ribs spinning seaweed to selkie skin ashore I dance the sacred night a surging wave of pale moonlight a seal-spun daughter of the tides never again a captive bride the background of this song is super interesting and referres to the legend of kópakonan: The legend of Kópakonan (the Seal Woman) is one of the best-known folktales in the Faroe Islands. Seals were believed to be former human beings who voluntarily sought death in the ocean. Once a year, on the Thirteenth night, they were allowed to come on land, strip off their skins and amuse themselves as human beings, dancing and enjoying themselves. A young farmer from the village of Mikladalur on the northern island of Kalsoy, wondering if this story was true, went and lay in wait on the beach one Thirteenth evening. He watched and saw the seals arriving in large numbers, swimming towards the shore. They clambered on to the beach, shed their skins and laid them carefully on the rocks. Divested of their skins, they looked just like normal people. The young lad stared at a pretty seal girl placing her skin close to the spot where he was hiding, and when the dance began, he sneaked up and stole it. The dancing and games went on all night, but as soon as the sun started to peep above the horizon, all the seals came to reclaim their skins to return to the sea. The seal girl was very upset when she couldn’t find her skin, though its smell still lingered in the air, and then the man from Mikladalur appeared holding it, but he wouldn’t give it back to her, despite her desperate entreaties, so she was obliged to accompany him to his farm. He kept her with him for many years as his wife, and she bore him several children; but he always had to make sure that she didn’t have access to her skin. He kept it locked up in a chest to which he alone had the key, a key which he kept at all times on a chain attached to his belt. One day, while he was out at sea fishing with his companions, he realised he had left the key at home. He announced to his companions, ‘Today I shall lose my wife!’ - and he explained what had happened. The men pulled in their nets and lines and rowed back to the shore as fast as they could, but when they arrived at the farm, they found the children all alone and their mother gone. Their father knew she wasn’t going to come back, as she had put out the fire and put away all the knives, so that the young ones couldn’t do themselves any harm after she’d left. Indeed, once she had reached the shore, she had put on her sealskin and plunged into the water, where a bull seal, who had loved her all those years before and was still waiting for her, popped up beside her. When her children, the ones she had had with the Mikladalur man, later came down to the beach, a seal would emerge and look towards the land; people naturally believed that it was the children’s mother. And so the years passed. Then one day it happened that the Mikladalur men planned to go deep into one of the caverns along the far coast to hunt the seals that lived there. The night before they were due to go, the man’s seal wife appeared to him in a dream and said that if he went on the seal hunt in the cavern, he should make sure he didn’t kill the great bull seal that would be lying at the entrance, for that was her husband. Nor should he harm the two seal pups deep inside the cave, for they were her two young sons, and she described their skins so he would know them. But the farmer didn’t heed the dream message. He joined the others on the hunt, and they killed all the seals they could lay their hands on. When they got back home, the catch was divided up, and for his share the farmer received the large bull seal and both the front and the hind flippers of the two young pups. In the evening, when the head of the large seal and the limbs of the small ones had been cooked for dinner, there was a great crash in the smoke-room, and the seal woman appeared in the form of a terrifying troll; she sniffed at the food in the troughs and cried the curse: ‘Here lie the head of my husband with his broad nostrils, the hand of Hárek and the foot of Fredrik! Now there shall be revenge, revenge on the men of Mikladalur, and some will die at sea and others fall from the mountain tops, until there be as many dead as can link hands all round the shores of the isle of Kalsoy!’ When she had pronounced these words, she vanished with a great crash of thunder and was never seen again. But still today, alas, it so happens from time to time that men from the village of Mikladalur get drowned at sea or fall from the tops of cliffs; it must therefore be feared that the number of victims is not yet great enough for all the dead to link hands around the whole perimeter of the isle of Kalsoy. the statue in good weather: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIuykqevr86rY9E and in storm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIavgJyvn9iqntU finally, tides live kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHuTY5tresppfqs

The score was written and composed by Scottish composer and musician John Lunn, with Eivør singing the music.. I’m sure she also wrote some of the songs too (not 100% on that)

Love the tribal warrior feel to the music. Hypnotic and ghostly.

She also is a guest star in the opening episode of season 5 of TLK too :-) also think she is in the background of a few episodes before that too, would need to rewatch it to see 🤣
