ELUVEITIE - A Rose For Epona (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@NathansRecordings]

Everyone: Helvetios is a concept album about a group of Gauls, the Helvetii, who used to live in areas of present-day france and switzerland(where the band is from). The album is a story told from the perspective of one of the helvetii, and in this song a girl has stopped at a shrine to epona, goddess of horses and fertility, to try to find answers to why the tragedy of the roman invasion has happened, and why they have been so utterly routed by the romans.

[@istvanangyal9296]

Thanks :)

[@pjrosello]

Absent gods....

[@andiemckay7399]

Technically, it was the Suebi that drove the Helvetii from their lands. Rather than stand their ground and defend their homeland, they chose to migrate to Roman territory without permission. Not saying they deserved what they got but you don't just violate someone's borders without repercussions.

Oh, well I know this was 5 years ago but I have a really big recommendation. Persefone, I’d recommend the new song, “the equalable.”

[@MituDjakarian]

I just realized that I really like Anna Murphy because she doesn't sing like it is usual in female (and male) singers in metal. I feel like many female singers are worried about making gestures and being theatrical - and there is nothing wrong with it - but Anna sings soulfully, it looks very genuine, I really like it :)

[@sugoruyo]

She does gesture quite a bit here. But I think she does very well with keeping for the highly charged chorus of the song. She accentuates the emotion of despair conveyed by her voice with appropriate energy.

[@TenInfi]

She’s singing in a typical folk music manner, not metal at all. And that does it.

[@eduardozermeno2366]

I love this song! It calls my spirit

[@Necrowolf81]

@@kosmici87 From Chrigel Glanzmann: "The song 'A Rose For Epona' appears about in the middle of the storyline - so, it tells about the time when the gaulish war broke out already. The Helvetians decided to leave their homeland and migrate to the west coast of Gallia, to start a new life there. In the time the song tells about, many Helvetians had to face pretty much shattered hopes. And so does the protagonist, from whose viewpoint the song is written: A young gaulish woman. She was part of the helvetic migration, but after the battle of Bibracte, all hopes that she and her people would ever reach their new home were torn to pieces. Furthermore you can imagine: She probably had lost her husband on the battlefields of Bibracte and she had to face fact that she can be glad if their common newborn child would not be killed and she herself would be sold into roman slavery. To sum it up: Her situation was desperate. In this situation 'our' young gaulish woman despairs, can't accept her fate and turns to her goddess Epona... and accuses her for having forsaken her people. This is what the song expresses. On a historical note: 'Epona' was a gaulish goddess which was, among other things, in charge of taking care of horsemen and the cavallery. All over Gallia there were Epona temples where people traditionally offered up freshly cut roses or rose petals to their goddess."
