If you look at the lyrics, the song is a call to action, on behalf of Anu as the earth goddess. We're despoiling the Earth with our heedless, superficial culture and those of us who hear the "voice of the gods" need to come together to fight for her. The fact it begins with children is significant. We fight for the world they will inherit, and they will be the ones who eventually lead the fight.

YEs Anu is an earth mother type. The Danube is named after her.

I think this is my fav eluveitie song so far 🔥🔥🔥 great reaction 🦊

[@d3bianninja284]

That was a fantastic intro, that mix between the innocence of the children and then that change to the drums and her singing 😍

Also you might like King or Quoth The Raven from their earlier line up with Anna Murphy.

OK the hurdy gurdy is already mentioned, the bagpipes are so called uillean pipes (pipes of the elbow) because they have no mouth piece to blow into the bag, instead the bag is inflated by pumping it with the elbow, the instrument you thought was a lute, is probably an irish bouzouki, that's very common in folk bands.

[@EvyTheFox]

Thank you so much for the information! Very interesting! I know more about history than about folk instruments for sure 🙈😅

[@klauskriegbaum2795]

@@EvyTheFox By the way. I just watched Eluveitie live on Hellfest 2022, ant they played Aidus as their last song and I was curious because I have never seen a folkband playing the uillean pipes live on stage,the only band i have seen that was Nightwish, and still is the only band i've seen that instrument played live.

[@EvyTheFox]

@@klauskriegbaum2795 thats amazing! Did u like them live?

[@klauskriegbaum2795]

@@EvyTheFox Maybe I was a tittle too vague, I was not there in person, I just watched the recording of their concert. If I were 20 years younger I would have liked to be there, but maybe it would have a been a bit too overwhelming, so much bands that I like, Eluveitie of course, Jinjer, Epica, Nightwish, Sabaton, Blind Guardian .... But to your question, it was a shorter set, early in the afternoon, but great energy. I think after two years in lockdown all bands were so excited to be on stage again.

[@fritsyt2090]

Welcome to the best folk metal band in the world! This band is from a whole another level. The bands name is pronounced like EL-VAY-TEE the "u" is silent. Next reaction to this magical band should be "ELUVEITIE - Ategnatos (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)". Maybe you should also react to my other absolute favourite band EPICA a super talented symphonic metal band from the Netherlands (where I live), this band is also from another dimension with such an amazing female vocalist with a beautiful crystal clear soprano voice, I can suggest some songs if you wish.

[@EvyTheFox]

Omg i have been sayin it wrong for a VERY long time 🙈 legit everyone i know says El-u-veitie xD thanks for correction and letting me know

[@georgekeiper5208]

The thing about reaction videos is that I learn about bands I never heard before. Thank you, these guys were great.

[@EvyTheFox]

Glad u discovered new music ❤️

[@epiendless1128]

Love your reaction to one of my favourite songs. 🙂 The hurdy-gurdy player is Michalina Malisz, and she has her own channel which I recently started watching. It seems she started doing hurdy-gurdy covers of Eluveite songs, then later got to join the band!

[@EvyTheFox]

Thank you so much! Im obsessed with this song, its soooo good!

[@Dankyrr]

and then she left the band, i'm sad

[@Mischnikvideos]

@@Dankyrr And formed her own band. I am happy ;-) LYRRE - North Star (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@453543ification]

Greetings from a big Eluveitie fan from Murmansk, The Russian Federation. Great reaction!) Subscribed! The instruments in the breackdown part of the video are: Mandola, Harp, Hurdy Gurdy, Violin and Backpipes, as far as I understand from the short shoot of the band members at the video. Anyway, keep up the great work, lady!) Cheers!)

[@florianemrich1728]

Eluveitie is so special. I was on a festival, when I saw them the first time live. When Fabienne sang, I was crying, when Chrigel ( the singer) started singing, I wanted to go in ANY moshpit. It was a beautiful emotional rolercoaster. They are singing a lot about the nordic mythology and not only in english, sometimes they are also singing in Helvetic ( i hope it is called like that?) which is a very old swiss language which not a lot of persons can speak today, even in Switzerland. So Songs like Epona are in Helvetic and it sounds so beautiful.

[@Vava0086]

Hi, maybe someone has already answered you about the traditional instruments that Eluvetie are using; anyway you may see (from the right to the left) a violin, a mandola (an instrument of the family of the lute), a bagpipe, a bagpipe, a celtic harp and a hurdy-gurdy.

hurdy gurdy a rose for epona and call of the mountians are great

[@sipke9485]

The hurdy gurdy you are referring to

[@EvyTheFox]

Thats absolutely the best name ever! Thnx for letting me know!

[@petercollingwood522]

Anu. Correct. Earth Goddess. Goddess of life, fertility. Can't believe I'm the first to comment.

[@EvyTheFox]

You are early indeed 😁 appreciate it

[@Andres-bs2hf]

I love your reaction and hey I recommend you react to the Powerwolf group, greetings 🤘🤘🖤

[@EvyTheFox]

Thank you ❤️

[@petercollingwood522]

The instrument you are trying to identify is a "Hurdy Gurdy" in English. "Drehlein" auf Deutsch, glaub ich. But I'm not sure. There is a girl called "Patty Gurdy" who is a great exponent of it you might like to check out.

[@EvyTheFox]

I never heard of it! It looks so cool! Def checkin into it!!

[@petercollingwood522]

@@EvyTheFox I believe it's a very old medieval instrument. Middle ages or something. I'd never heard of it either before I saw it in a "Faun" video.

[@EvyTheFox]

@@petercollingwood522 i will have to look into it! At least i now know the name to look for

[@MetalRock92]

The german word for it is 'Drehleier' 🙂

[@prostfan]

Drehleier is the word you were searching for. 😉
