Lyrics:
Det nalkas från ett sus nånstans'
ett härligt försonande ljud
En berusande dans, och jag blir som i trans
när gnistorna bränner min hud
Det stänker från en helig gral
som djupast i själarna bor
En hel ocean, livets dryck, en koran
och en suck ifrån världarnas jag
Men säg vad du heter
viskade jaget vi inte kan se
Drycken är guden som leker
och vi är den bäcken som blev
En skön och trasig livsmonad
en glimt av din heliga stad
Den breder sig ut, alla gränser dör ut
och vi andas dig i alla blad
I kvinna som hos varje man
i träden och vid varje sten
En ljusglimt det var, fast flyktig och sval
En kvarstod av ljuset från gral
Men säg vad du heter
viskade jaget vi inte kan se
Drycken är guden som leker
och vi är den bäcken som blev

Wait is this the Talk Religion guy? Love 3/4 time tunes. This was beautiful even if I didn't understand it.❤

[@SpaceFaceClosetoMine]

!! As if there wasn't enough to admire about this guy from his Let's Talk Religion, guys a talented musician also .. and so humble I'm now realizing I don't even know his name cause he never mentions it: Filip Holm. Keep up the awesome work Filip! Love this! Tho maybe next time list the English Translations for lyrics also so we can better appreciate them. Here's from google translate: It approaches from a hiss somewhere' a glorious reconciling sound An intoxicating dance, and I become as if in a trance when the sparks burn my skin It splashes from a holy grail that lives deep in the souls A whole ocean, the drink of life, a Koran and a sigh from the self of the worlds But tell me your name whispered the self we cannot see The drink is the god that plays and we are the stream that became A beautiful and broken monad of life a glimpse of your holy city It spreads out, all borders die out and we breathe you in all the leaves In woman as with every man in the trees and by every rock A glimmer of light there was, though fleeting and cool A remnant of the light from the grail But tell me your name whispered the self we cannot see The drink is the god playing and we are that stream which became

After listening to this video, I got lost on the innernetz in a "Gralstank" search.... Rest in peace 🙏 Swedish poet Gustaf Froding 22 August 1860 ~ 8 February 1911⚘ Writer of lyric & religious verse w/ poetic blend of irony, melancholy and humor expressing faith in the divinity of all things ❤

[@FilipHolm]

A great poet!

What a magnificent waltz, the sort one saves for the last dance of the evening with one's favorite partner. Beautiful.

Been listening to this the past month, very touching music, even the fade out at the end adds a lot. Looking forward to future music. 🙏

[@joannagrimmer]

Had to take a peek at the translation, Filip, as it is apparent this song is unmissable but has, knowing your work, much more to offer. Delighted to have a 'new' poet to explore.

[@jaimeXDgo]

Did you put it through some translator, or did you find a reliable one? Because I'm interested, too. Could you perhaps share it?

[@joannagrimmer]

@@jaimeXDgo Just copied Filip's text in the description to Google Translate. At least it offers a good idea of the meaning.

Beautiful music. Had to plug the lyrics into Google translate, and they're amazing too! Not surprised that the great philosopher of religion is also a poet and musician.

[@mmm-wk4xw]

I usually listen to metal or West Asian folk, so I am picky for songs of this genre, but the instrumental melody and the singer's background has made this highly enjoyable. Rock on, from a Muslim.

It's an incredible coincidence to find this alongside your channel as I've been listening to Norwegian and Swedish-language music for years now in America, to the point of trying to learn the languages through music. This song is so genuinely well-made in so many ways, I love it. Reminds me of the Norwegian band Vamp, another folk-rock group with lyrics inspired by poetry

[@FilipHolm]

Thank you so much! I haven't heard Vamp. Maybe I should check them out!

My ancestors from my paternal line were nords. We came from a noble british house, when we sided with Queen Mary over the other queen she awarded my ancestry a manor called Costessy Hall. They would continue to build and build on top of it making it exquisitely grand regardless as to if they could afford it lol. During I think world war 1 or one of the former wars the man who resided over Costessy didn't want soldiers in the village destroying everyones homes so he housed the soldiers in Costessy Hall instead. The last of the line died out in the early 1900's when the manor was seized by the lunacy committee. Now its been demolished
