Gåte - Ulveham, Studio Session, (Official Video)

“Ulveham” is based on a medieval balled, and like other historical legends and songs it carries an important moral.
The song is a story of young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her.
Gåte emerged as a cultural gem in the early 2000s, seamlessly blending traditional Norwegian folk music with explosive rock, catapulting them from the confines of a practice space to grand stages in record time!
With this unique take on folk/trad rock and their triumphant live shows the band has managed to captivate massive audience.
Gåte’s music is a dark, mesmerizing and stunningly beautiful take on Nordic folk. Where they flirt with elements from traditional Norse and pagan music as well as from more modern genres like rock and industrial.
Director/producer: Sverre Brandtzæg
Director of photography/Camera- Fredrik Friele Hauan
Editor: Toni Kotka
Lyrics and Music:
Sveinung Eklo Sundli, Ronny Graff Janssen, Gunnhild Sundli, Magnus Børmark, Jon Even Schärer, and Marit Jensen Lillebuen.
Lyrics:
Eg var meg så ven og fager ei møy
Med stimoder vond, mi moder ho døy
Ho skapte meg om til eit svær og ei nål
Og sende meg av ti kongens gård
Og vreida mi stimoder kjende mest
Når alle dei gillaste lika meg best
Ho gav meg ein ham som ulve grå
Ho svor meg einsam i skogjen gå
Og aldri blir eg heil og god
Før eg fær drukkje min broders blod

@@BaardFigur only on a scandinavian keyboard, the rest of us either have to copy paste the letter or use ALT key codes. in this case context is important, obviously they are not talking about a street or the door for a fence. they're talking about the band. lets not gatekeep with language pls

[@BaardFigur]

@@Revi0us This is how you anglicize Norwegian/Danish letters: Æ=AE Ø=OE Å=AA Many danish cities often use Aa in city names for this reason (e.g. Aarhus)

[@Revi0us]

@@BaardFigur this is fine as a native speaker but you must understand the rest of the world does not know the nuances of nynorsk or dansk, and do not have the Scandinavian alphabet options on their keyboard without using ALT key codes on a numpad

[@TheFuschiaDragonfly]

It makes me want to cry bc I used to listen to a lot of Nightwish, Within Temptation and Faun when I was, like, 15 yo and this sounds like the perfect blend of these three. Takes me to a time when I felt less numb than now. It's truly a stunning, beautiful piece of pagan rock. You have my vote. Lots of love from Italy 💗

[@anoobmaister5232]

Whenever there is Eurovision there is only a couple singers from all the countries participating that sounds exactly the same in studio as they do live (or better). This artist is absolutely incredible at her craft because that's what it is, a craft. I have seen some of the biggest artists in the world sing false or bad at stage but the live performance of Gåte was better than the studio which is very hard to do. Well deserved win! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@pinchatai]

[@In_my_own_mind]

The song is a story of a young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her. A stepmother is jealous of her stepdaughter who everyone likes and thinks is very beautiful, so the stepmother tries to turn her into different things...a needle, a knife, a sword. She casts a spell on her stepdaughter. Whatever she turns her stepdaughter into, people like it, so in the end she casts a wolf spell on her and banishes her to the forest, and the only way she can get out of the bewitchment is to drink her brother's blood. Later, the evil stepmother meets the wolf out in the forest and the wolf rips out the heart of the stepmother and eats it, and then it turns out that the stepmother was pregnant with her half-brother, so she drinks her brother's blood and becomes free. It is simply about free yourself from someone who has power over you, and you do it on your own terms. The way she sings her "shouting notes" is from traditional Norwegian folk music and can be described as some kind of calling sound «lokking», a sound which is supposed to reach far in nature (forest or mountain) so it needs to be loud. Its kind of a Scandinavian yodling-sound used also to call for a herd (sheep, cows etc) but also a calling sound used in folk tradition or by super natural beings like the «Huldra» to «trick» humans and animals to appear in the forest/mountains.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

@@In_my_own_mind It's amazing how that primal feeling of nature was received by me without understanding it. I am still totally overwhelmed and in love with this song.

[@todedo]

Fantastic news and congrats to winning ESC! I don't doubt a second this will be top 3 or perhaps even WINNING the whole shabang in Malmo! Good luck! I love the originality and huge soundscape mixed with folk tones. It's absolutely gorgeous work! Love from Chicago, IL

@@mrnexton7559its old i believe, im from norway and i dont understand it 😳

[@kjetilho]

@@mrnexton7559 - here's a quick translation, apologies for unpoetic language in my haste: I was such a fair and beautiful maiden With evil step mother, my mother was dead She transformed me into a skin and a needle and sent me to the King's estate And the wrath my step mother felt strongest when the best people liked me most She gave me the appearance of a grey wolf She swore I would wander the woods by my lonesome And never will I be whole and well Until I have drunk the blood of my brother
