Heilung - Anoana LIVE | LIFA Llyn Dain | REACTION | First Time Hearing

[@TheRealMommaOG]

I realized in the editing process that I murdered the song name... They say it in the song repeatedly and I was so wrapped up in the music during the reaction I completely missed it. "Ah no wah nuh". 😅 I swear I'm going to make a compilation of me mispronouncing things in about 6 months. lol Hope you all enjoy this one... this group stuck with me after the reaction but you'll hear more about that later this week. Hope you all are well!

[@johnytwo]

I think most of the „northern“ languages have pronunciation similar to German. You english speakers bend the sounds just too much :)

[@immune85]

Nobody cares about mispronunciation. Most of us butcher your language, so...

[@johnytwo]

@@immune85 I care :) But when I see, that someone tries, I am absolutely ok with it. I just hate reactors, that spend twenty seconds apologising about mispronunciation, instead of investing this time into looking up the right pronunciation.

[@immune85]

@@johnytwo Wow, you HATE them? I agree that it's pointless to apologize, though.

[@johnytwo]

@@immune85 Well, I am not a native speaker, but as far as I know, „hate“ can suggest many degrees of intensity depending on the context. ,)

Welcome to the family, its a beautiful day when someone new discovers the beauty of the pagan reality . A world of nature and Mother Earth.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you! I love it "here". I feel at home with this music.

Heilung - Anoana is one of my favs. I recommend the official video even if it's not a reaction. It's an interesting visual story.

[@mikeyb2932]

In case anybody would like a link to the official video mentioned in the comment above - From Heilungs own KZbin page. Heilung | Anoana [Official Video]: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYfFlJJ8rMena5I

[@marierose8580]

definitely continue down the Heilung rabbit hole! their music is among the most healing (very fitting name they have) i've ever listened to. i mostly use a lot of their songs for meditation purposes. true soul music. a favorite of mine from theirs is called "In Maidjan", which involves a hypnotizing chant of the Elder Futhark runes. the nature of their songs make me feel like i'm awakening a part of me that modern society is trying to crush. authenticity. inner authority. sacred knowledge and dancing with your own darkness instead of falling prisoner to it. a lot of these songs are designed to sort of induce a trance-like state, but it surprised me how calming it was to sort of lean into that by using their music as meditation. there's another song of theirs called "Krigsgaldr" which describes a peaceful village that is invaded by someone, or many someones, who "only know the language of the sword", and so despite many attempts at a truce, the peaceful village is forced to go into battle. after i found out the inspiration, to me, it's become a song that represents the struggle of finding peace during a period of darkness that is out of your control. here is a piece of writing that they leave in every description of their videos that i think captures what this music tends to remind people of: "Remember, that we all are brothers All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind We all descend from the one great being That was always there Before people lived and named it Before the first seed sprouted"

[@n5iln]

As I understand it, they open every ritual (NOT concert) with that as well, in a call-and-response format with the participants. It sets the frame of mind for everything that follows.

[@dracusmoon4822]

@@n5iln They do, and it does! Be well and prosper.

[@watevatube]

I Saw them live, it's amazing! You can feel the drums reverberate through your body. The performance takes you back 2000 years.. I can't say enough good things about them.

[@Alykzandria]

Whole heartedly agree with this! Seeing them live with love you in ways you do not expect but feel completely at ease with. It touches your soul! (and body! lol)

[@Liska78]

Seeing them live was such an amazing spiritual experience!

[@robertwhite7234]

The live version of Traust at Red Rocks. Also their video of Norupo.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

I have done both of those. They'll be up within the next week.

[@slymind4919]

Momma you were right, as far as i know *hi-lung* and what a beautiful group. i learned and listened to them starting last year, and they are amazing. and their music videos are just insane. the songs of my people are being recreated, and i love it! the female singer has made me cry so many times.... so beautiful, the sounds, the singing, its all fantastic!

[@leckerbambi1019]

Went there in Berlin, loved it so much, loved all the people, even dressed up for that with horns etc :) really an magical event.

[@richardrose7382]

This is a great group. I would recommend the music video for this song. More impressive and a shocking end.

[@Alykzandria]

Thank you for doing a reaction to Heilung! They are hands down, one of my favorite go-to groups to listen to. I seen them live in Seattle a few years ago and it really is a moving and almost spiritual experience. Other songs I recommend of theirs are; In Maidjan, Krigsgaldr, Traust, and Hamrer Hippyer. Enjoy!

[@TheRealMommaOG]

I'm really digging this group on a level I can't quite explain. I hope I get the opportunity to see them live someday.

[@roywilliams1580]

Definitely worth checking out In Maidjen or Krigsgaldr. They have an impressive backcatalogue.

[@Redacted-NA]

Heilung's live performances are an experience. The music video for this song is amazing though, worth a watch.

[@666sdkfz]

Great reflections ! Saw them live at the Midgardsblot festival....they`re something else !! Cheers from Norway

[@TheRealMommaOG]

I have now done three of there songs (the other two released this week and one, next week) and I am adding them to my bucket list of groups to see before I leave this earth. They've resonated with me, hard.

[@Toxicdemon2]

I saw them last night live in Belgium. And I have to say, if you ever get the opportunity to go and see them..... DO IT !!! Such a awesome experience !

[@TheRealMommaOG]

OMG I'm so jealous! I really hope they come to the states one day.

[@seeingthruyou]

I also enjoy Skald. They have a number of great songs.

[@noraeld5020]

The google search is very relatable, cool to re-experience hearing this song for the first time through you!

[@xenogroth]

Great reaction! Calm and collected, and you actually took in the music and legit listened to it. Not many reactors do since all they do is chasing pointless likes to boost their ego in order to feel validated, since they can't do it on their own. You however seem very authentic. Liked and subscribed. Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you so much and welcome. Yes, I am definitely here for the music. Likes and views are secondary. As far as my viewers and subscribers go... quality over quantity 100%.

[@thomaswatvedt5812]

there's a music video to this song, it's incredible

[@mjwoodroff8446]

I was at this "ritual" (as Heilung and fans like to refer to their live performances) at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. Amazing experience and I was fortunate to see them again a few months later headlining one night at ArcTangent Festival, up in the Mendip Hills, Somerset (not far from Glastonbury). Interestingly, the title of the video refers to "Lifa LLyn Dain". This is Heilung playing with older native languages and is intended to translate as "Live in London" in a combination of Old Norse and what seems to be Welsh, at first glance. However, the modern Welsh for London is Llundain (roughly pronounced "clean-dine" but saying the "cl" whilst placing your tongue at the front roof of your mouth and drawing out the sound a bit) so this isn't a perfect match, even though Llyn Dain holds similarities to LLundain. I wasn't entirely sure where the alternate spelling came from. Could it be an older form of Welsh or another Brythonic language (Cornish, Breton, the now extinct Cumbric)? It turns out that Llyn Dain was suggested (circa 1855) as a possible Welsh origin for the name of the city and was thought to translate to "Pool of the Thames". This theory isn't widely held though with the name almost certainly coming from the locals that lived in the area at the time of the Roman invasion and whose language, although related to Welsh, far predates any modern form of Welsh.

[@n5iln]

You might be interested in their song “Traust”. There are three versions online that I know of: one a live video taken at a ritual at Red Rocks, one the official music track from the album release, and an unofficial lyric video with translation from the sung Old Norse to English. The live video is very powerful, but NSFW due to a key female performer (NOT Maria) being topless, even though it’s done in a completely nonsexual way.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

I just recorded my reaction to the Red Rocks version of that song. I wondered if it was a ritual of sorts. Definitely noticed the nudity but it felt more a part of the performance than anything else. Hope to get that one uploaded next week.

[@n5iln]

@@TheRealMommaOG It is indeed a ritual. As I recall, the lyrics and their translation are in the comments for that video. The entire song is a tribute to the strength of women.

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

You should do "In Maidjen' Live. It was literally in a video game.

[@prettybxy77]

Heilung is one of my favorite bands! You can't really even call them a band. Like you said, they're more of a historical reenactment. Feeling that connection to something so ancient is a powerful experience that is hard to find anymore. ETA: They made some of the music for one of those video games, I want to say Assassin's Creed, but I'm not sure.

[@maximebemer3407]

Hellblade and Hellblade 2, also a live performance at the Game Awards 2023 event for Hellblade 2!

[@charlesmorgan6886]

You have to do the official video of this song too. It's absolutely beautiful

[@juliafernandes991]

They actually have a song that was a theme of a videogame, Hellblade, the song is called In maidjan, the live version is very good

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

Yes I reccommended that as well. Isn't that the one with the birdsong?

[@maximebemer3407]

No harm comparing this to video games OST. In fact, Heilung did a colab with Ninja Theory on Hellblade and hellblade 2 - they also did a live performance at the Game Awards 2023 with their new song "Seidh", check it out!!

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Present!

[@TomicaCZ]

If you have a chance to see Heilung live, don't hesitate and go to their show. It's an incredible experience! Unfortunately, the video cannot capture the atmosphere during their concerts. \i've already seen them twice and I will go to their show definitely again when I have a chance. :)

[@johnytwo]

When speaking of Skyrim (though I prefer and absolutely love the Morrowind soundtrack), Kalandra did soundtrack for the game Kingdom Two Crowns, Norse Lands, which is at least as beautiful. You can find the songs on youtube.

[@hizkariothe1]

[@petes5041]

I'm told they make most of the instruments themselves!

[@tonyharmon8512]

Yes they do. They also have used human bones tapping and have had some significant problems getting them through customs in many countries. The antlers and costumes are all handmade. The chimes are hand hammered metals and many of the drumsticks are leather ends over bone or hardwood. Drones are Ox Horns. The stringed instruments are also handmade. There is some electronic instrumentation but only as support. Nature and ritual brought home to the soul.

[@johnytwo]

Folks. Do not miss also her reactions to Kalandra and Aurora!

[@UltimaSRi]

React to Kalandra! Another gem!!

[@Vi-king-dom]

YES 2 Kalandra

[@johnytwo]

She did. But we need more :)

i really love the live version - but to get the songs context, you might watch the original music video. thanks for reacting to heilung, they deserve way more attention. maria franz is a very good singer. but don't forget aurora ;-).

Hi yes! Thank you this information is amazing. The only two songs I haven't done yet are Alfadhirhaiti and lotungard but I have added them to my list. Also the two below the Heilung songs. There are lots of documentaries and interviews for them and other artists I've been listening to as well... I'm thinking of reserving them for some live streams sometime then I can release them individually later. Thank you you for taking the time to provide all of that for me.

[@mikeyb2932]

@@TheRealMommaOG You are very welcome. Be aware that some of the rituals Heilung performs include the Heilung Warriors and they dress gender neutral, I.e. the female warriors are also topless and therefore might be against the TOS where you stream. Also be aware that 'LIFA Iotungard' is a ritual with a set list like 'LIFA' was at Castlefest. Set list for 'LIFA Iotungard' (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre 2021): Opening ceremony In Maidjan Alfadhirhaiti Krigsgaldr Hakkerskaldyr Svanrand Norupo Othan Traust Elddansurin Hamrar Hippyer

[@AP-RSI]

I'm a big fan of HEILUNG. But... If you like this kind of music, give “FAUN” a try. E.G. FAUN - Galdra FAUN ft. Eluveitie - Gwydion FAUN - Helloween FAUN - Federkleid FAUN - Walpurgisnacht FAUN - Tamlin and the Fairy Queen FAUN feat. Fatma Turgut - Umay And there are more good songs of them!

Typical Wikipedia, "Viking Age" no discrebtion that the vikings are germanian tribes, that share the same culture and mythology. Here in todays Germany many people know, that Wikipedia is far left extreme.

[@I_scribbles]

Yo look up Germania bruh! The kingdom of Germania was half of Europe into Scandinavia. You had the Gals, the Greco Roman, the rest was Germanic until moved east enough to get Slavic. But that's post flood. The Vikings/Aryans (Ancient Irish) went all the way to India, then back again.
