[@gustavojendiroba4151]

In the lyrics she says she is spellbound by a "Galdramaður", which means the person that does a "galdr", which is a word in Old Norse with two meanings, one is song and the other is incantation, spell. The verb "galana" means to sing or to cast a spell. So she was struck by the Singer/Sorcerer's spell/ song. And then proceeds to sing/ enchant us with her own galdr.

Aside from the pure beauty of this, and her superb talent, I’m struck by the similarity to Native American rhythms and vocal expressions. Probably not news to anyone else, but it seems the bridges between Celtic, Nordic & American Indigenous music, are extremely short. I’m grateful for having heard this. More please.

[@unknownvariable7778]

There's about 70,000 native speakers, so it's not a common language. For about 300 years from the 16th-19th centuries the Danes outlawed the use of Faroese in official writing, so it was a purely oral language until an alphabet was created for it in 1846. It's remarkably similar to Icelandic and falls in the same family of Norse languages, such as Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

I'm icelandic and I always find it so fascinating to hear Faroese. Our languages are so similar in writing, but quite different pronunciation wise. I went through this song, singing the lyrics in Icelandic with a direct translation and it works flawlessly. Icelandic version of lyrics: Töfrabundinn er ég Er ég Galdramaður festi mig Festi mig Töfrabundinn djúpt í minni sál Í minni sál Í hjartanu logar brennandi bál Brennandi bál Töfrabundinn er ég Er ég Galdramaður festi mig Festi mig Töfrabundinn inn í hjartarót Í hjartarót Auga mitt festist hér er Galdramaðurinn stóð As you can see, they're almost completely identical with some key differences. I think it's fair to say these are two of earth's most beautiful languages.

Both of her versions are so beautiful: the live seems almost feral and wild, their is a beauty in the passion it is imbued with the live performance... This is more contemplative , something you'd listen to while driving at night in the winter with a clear sky above you, and the video is pretty.

[@arjantjeee]

There are many different versions. The old celtic Druïds used the Sean nós where as the Germanic Volvas practised this style to evoke a trance to themselves and the people around them. The best singers in this tradition would never sing the same song in the same way but they would adept the song to the moment in various ways so it would intertwine with the moment and the people listening to it hitting them straight into their soul. These songs could either evoke emotions like sadness, happiness, strength, fear or bring people to sleep. This is why folktunes are often pretty simple in their basis, the real magic lies in using different techniques within the song to weave it into the present environment. Eivør truly does master this art. Trollabundin is never the same.

I am awfully late to the 'scene', I realize..regrettably! How is it possible that I didn't found this wonder of a woman before now, I just do not know! She sings so powerfully and timeless - contemporary yet primal...and,admittedly it doesn't hurt that I can feel a sting of what I perceive as a part of my own 'heritage', as I'm from Sweden. This sounds like what probably the only a few of the best 'bards'/'historians/storytellers' managed to tell before their children, or people at large at gatherings in our shared Old Norse-times. I'm simply blown away by this magician of a woman....the only thing I regret is not coming across her a lot sooner.....silly me, that used to think that no 'real music' was really being produced any longer. She, with a few other contemporary artists (such as Wardruna, and Einar Selvik, Aurora etc.) have suddenly changed my mind completely!

[@anemone3694]

If you mean the "hyeeeheyeee" part, I believe it's more akin to white voice than to throat singing. White voice is a traditional singing technique where the voice resonates in your nasal cavities; it's meant to carry the sound over long distances. I don't know about Nordic music that much, but white voice was quite common in Slavic folk music as well. If you like it, I think you might like the band Tulia, they did an amazing cover of Nothing Else Matters in this style of singing.

[@vercasko]

You can call it whatever you like. Eivor made it up as her own sound. That makes this uncoverable. Eivor calls it her own Beatbox style.

Vertu meðvitaður. Ef þú hlustar á þetta verður þú Eivørbundinn að eilífu. Hún er hin sanna galdrakona. What a sorceress, what a voice! Her fate will be how to stay true to heir haunting roots on those desolate rocks (with a nice but pretty unintelligible language) , whilst such a voice should be commercially world-renowned at the same time. These tunes will stay in our minds however...nothing we can do. Wishing you all the best Eivør! You gave much to many already. Just wow...what a voice...

[@MxPepsoid]

I discovered Eivør via The Last Kingdom soundtrack… & now I can’t get enough of the beautiful combination of her mesmerising vocals & electronic twiddlings! This one has the more traditional feel of TLK - & I love it for it! Thank you Eivør for enhancing my life… 🙏❤️

Can someone answer me this: Why does this give me goosebumps? Why do I feel this in my very bones? WHY

[@YT-fr5lf]

Because songs like this are meant to make us feel this way. We are meant to feel like we belong here, to go here forever, and the style is traditional. It’s like our ancestors calling us.

[@Tbonyandsteak]

Or to put it in another way, something in you have awakened. Why we fall asleep on what and who we really are.

[@anthrop7998]

Because it is actual talent, which is very hard to find nowadays with all the pop-trash on the radio. I'm a music collector... I was immediately impressed with Eivor's voice. Thankfully we have the internet or I would have never found her.

[@ImJustTryingToSurvive]

Psychologically it's triggering the religious circuit in the brain. It is a circuit that is associated with awe. It is triggered by very rare things, like fasting for a long period of time, meditating for years, or psychedelic mushrooms. It can help your overall mood, and keep you psychologically healthier.

[@dreamingscarlettm5415]

I don't know why, but I have to cry everytime I listen to this song. As if something deep inside me awakens and yearns to go back to an old long forgotten life where I was a warrior dying on the battlefield to protect the ones I loved.

[@chaplinfan4538]

I was driving home from visiting my dad the other day and I go over a lake on the way. This song was playing. To me, I envisioned her singing...calling out to all the souls who had died horrible tragic deaths. Lives taken too soon and in an unnecessary and unnatural way. I felt she was calling to them to release them so they could finally have peace.

@@user-gb3xp6eh9x for a short start you can go for kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3bUiq2ar5iNrMk or kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZelp61op6xghKs Indian classical music is one of the most ancient forms of music. It has two types - Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian). The above clips are of Hindustani style which is more popular as 'Indian music' outside India. Concerts usually are at least 2 hours long. A typical Hindustani concert sounds like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoelaJ2rn9GVa9E. See the difference in pace of singing in beginning and end. I don't know how much you can appreciate, but this music is really complex and intricate. One mistake and people get offended. The Carnatic style is distinct. It is more structured and has a lot of emphasis on percussion. This is a proper RTP (ragam thanam pallavi) in Raga Vakulabharanam (this scale is also used commonly in Arabic music): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4XTgKmef9N5Y8U You can see the complexities in 9:40, 13:20, 27:00... song starts at 28:00 (earlier stuff is just improvisation)...The music after 36:50 is really entertaining.

I understand

[@5iF3R]

Close but not quite correct. I think you'd need to posess some knowledge of old norse lore to get closer to the true meaning of her words. Sal is not soul, more like inner or inside and trollabundin does not not exacly mean spellbound but it's close enough I guess. Trolls are mythical magical beings originating from the mineral kingdom. Beings who can shape shift into human or animal forms and lure humans i.e. bind them with their intoxicating charm and wits to possess their minds i.e. bound by trolls/troll-bound. There are certain troll-charms that people wore (and still wear) to protect against such devious miscreants. They could also be quite friendly at times seeking trade with humans as they could not create beutiful or complex things themselves. Search for John Bauer's illustrations and books on the subject. Norse lore is actually quite unique and beutiful :)
