Elvenking - Ethel (2024) // Official Lyric Video // AFM Records
All good things come in twos, right? After the Venom cover "Prime Evil", ELVENKING deliver another bonus track from the "Reader of the Runes - Rapture" era called "Ethel". And this time it's their own unreleased song! With the usual folky and hypnotizing sounds and the characteristic voice of singer Damna, the band sails into calmer waters with "Ethel". Highly sophisticated and enchanted as ever - "Ethel" is a great addition to a walk in the woods.

Lyrics:
Adrift between the pure innocence
And the wuthering waves of needed defence
She has come to enlighten November dusks
She has come, oh Ethel, the nymphs with her basked
The leaves foretold she’d come in a whirl
The twigs of trees
Twitched and twirled
She has come to heighten our poor sentiments
She has come, oh Luna, ethereal descent
Within the heart of a mid-summer night
You are drumming the rhythm
The dance of time
Within the arms of a gentle wind
You are wavering forever in the midst of a dream
Wohoo
Forged into the branches of oaks
Cladded with Ivy tunic of gold
Like a stardust fall
A gift from the skies
A pure soul sent in a world full of lies
Within the heart of a mid-summer night
You are drumming the rhythm
The dance of time
Within the arms of a gentle wind
You are wavering forever in the midst of a dream
Within the heart of a mid-summer night
You are drumming the rhythm
The dance of time
Within the arms of a gentle wind
You are wavering forever in the midst of a dream

Acoustic Elvenking is the best Elvenking!

[@PotterElad]

Glad to hear the Elvenking in this style again

[@adamastor5461]

"pure soul in a world full of lies".. exactly my thoughts, even when sometimes mean, deep in my heart I know she has a childlike innocence, but it's not in my hands now.

[@ashurdraco1510]

Daughter of Lucifer that descends from the sky as Aradia, the queen of witches.

[@janneswilmink487]

Sure didn't expect a song about our favourite Auntie Ethel.

[@sandorraduly5730]

A song worthy of Rivendell 😉 awesome 🤘

[@diltonics2]

BUUUUMMM... BUUUUMMM... BUUUUMMM... BUUUUMMM...

[@andreabicego6923]

Mesmerizing ❤

[@Tulackyvrch]

Super song, interesting story and really nice art in the video. It is like in the midst of a dream.

[@GARYBLONDER]

Most enjoyable sway-along Folk Rock, well-produced. A soul-soothing must for the playlist. My Score: Very Good 4*

[@MattStormage]

I saw them live. The most surprising thing was how intense their drummer was. I've listened to all their music, but only noticed how complex the drums were at that show.

[@elysethefloralninja]

Drummers hardly get credit. That's ok! They really do change the mood of a song.

[@shortwinger3]

I’m going to be seeing these guys opening up for Alestorm in a couple of months. Never heard of them until Alestorm announced the 2024 American tour. They sound pretty good so I’m looking forward to it. Especially now that I finally get to see Alestorm after wanting desperately to see them since 2010. Damn I was still in high school in 2010

[@elysethefloralninja]

@@shortwinger3 you won't be disappointed! I found them on Pandora. I did see Alestorm myself.. i will likely never see them, but I hope you have fun.

[@jacekjmazur]

Ye, if the drummer is bad then the band is bad. Drums are and always will be the most important piece in a band imho.

[@Kradfire45]

I was there in Toronto. can attest that this song was way better live and the drummer kicked ass here

[@HanselLovecraft-ru5zz]

Another awesome song with a wonderful video ❤🎉

[@chuax77]

Excellent,cheers from Argentina.

[@elysethefloralninja]

AaAAAH! ❤❤❤ Lzove the lyrics!

Gd that was beautiful, love the poetry & melody of this tune, thank you Elvenking & the artists/animators who made this! I vote for a Reader Of The Runes Book III Deluxe Edition with a bard/acoustic version of the album in this style! 🖤🎶💗🔥💗😊🍻

[@Shadow-uj9kl]

Did this song change`? I could swear it sounded different just a day ago.

[@phlebas80]

Gran classe come ai tempi del riuscitissimo album acustico :)

[@user-px7kn5fb4y]

I'm from Russia. Good song! The musical group is super! 😊

[@xrocketer6580]

I can hear the Rapture Album Style. And like the hole Album its good but Divination was better. Sorry to say.. still love all your work ❤

[@HanselLovecraft-ru5zz]

I like rapture more than divination lol, no need to feel sorry for having a favorite

[@jamesugar]

Si sente che manca la passione di un tempo... peccato... mi mancano i vecchi Elvenking...

[@nightperson1012]

Yeah, nobody cares.

[@Zombot012]

No. No power in this one, come on.

[@nightperson1012]

Not every album can be The Scythe, and if it could, it'd be boring as hell. One reason Elvenking shines is that they commit to keeping things varied.
