I'm a Scottish guy that's been lurking on this song for years. Tonight I'm drunk and feel the need for a comment. Even the beginning of this song makes the hairs on my arm stand up. I don't understand the language but I feel the power of the message. I haven't dared looked up the translation because I enjoy it misunderstood. The tone alone carries the song.

[@Versosurma]

Some of us are feeling strange connection and passion for being part of something great. We are not happy in this modern materialistic world where we only fight to survive from paycheck to paycheck. And why ? This is all madness and we will never be truly happy and free in this world. We are missing the old ways when we were connected to nature. We should get true friends and people who share same dream together to build new world. There we would be truly free to create our own destiny as equals. We should stop wasting our life we wont be here forever!

[@scottk1525]

Fun fact: You can still connect to nature in the modern age. I think people over-romanticize historical eras based almost entirely on movies and books. But you have *no idea* what life was like back then. Would you really trade the safety, comfort, convenience, knowledge, and opportunity of the modern world for a time of war, plague, rape, ignorance, & starvation? Would you trade living in a climate-controlled home with 10 grocery stores nearby for being genuinely afraid of starving and freezing to death every winter? Would you trade all the knowledge you have of the world for not knowing anything outside of your village, and never being exposed to even a single book? Would you trade living to 90 for most likely dying in your thirties? It's fun to fantasize about the "old ways," but it's another to be so delusional that you honestly think that a time of almost no options and no knowledge would be better than a time of infinite options and infinite knowledge.

@@scottk1525 I think you have the wrong idea.. If you feel and think this way you are enslaved the whole meaning behind this is the human race is enslaved by the wage.. We never needed money and our ancestors lived through bater and opportunity.. When civilization exterminated the lives of my ancestors and brought a new era of slavery..we have to pay for food and water when they used to grow it and receive the water from the streams.. I don't think you understand. This apparent new age of knowledge has only brought suffering to nations.. The dominance of superpowers and the destruction of our planet. I still think you don't see this.. And the most painful thing is that I get laughed at for worshipping the aseir and the old gods are forgotten as myths in history books. I don't think you would never understand.. You stand by the annihilation of humanity and our ways . You stand by the collapse of everything we knew and replaced it with synthetic slavery and the cancer of this world. It's disgusting to live in this age with no purpose at all.. When my ancestors where free to write their own destiny and to survive with purpose.. Take a step back and realise what hell we are in before you start saying we romanticise it..

I love the original, and loved the female lead/complement when they performed it together with Aurora....and this song, well it is just as a cover should be all about - same song, different feel.

Holy shit. That outro tho? Why is no one talking about that outro?!

[@scray00]

I was thinking the same !!

[@Serkan-8]

Kalandra's outro is better than Wardruna's

[@levandejacob]

Kalandra really perfected the ending. Loved it!

[@rogergibbs2937]

My thoughts exactly. Who is she?

[@DeadStatix]

Yea the Outro is amazing!

[@josephbottone9855]

The Mother, Goddess. a masterpiece, truly .thank you, and this weeping, who can explain it?

[@septillionsuns]

Her clarity, control, and power speak of an ancient soul. Welcome back, Katrine. Welcome back.

[@user-wq4ri4ol4m]

The best thing I learned from this song. We all die. And that's okay.

[@heavenwithin81]

Those Nordic voices are always so pretty, powerful and clean. I swear they come out of the womb knowing how to sing that way. Listening to it feels like home.

[@scottk1525]

Me listening to the Wardruna version: 😠⚔️🛡 Me listening to the Kalandra cover: 😢😢😢

[@tom-esvar]

I write a lot and I can't help but think of the original as a character singing to friends, and the cover is the gods after that character dies and sing for him

[@sataniko78]

by me the same

[@Mhert-dw8qw]

I love both. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@xWhocaresxX]

I believe the ward runs version is covering the male going off into battle, and kalandra is the battle of worry for her husband.

[@rehu542]

not true

[@1.1797]

As soon as she started singing: chills ran down me spine. Absolutely stunning voice! Love the organ music too! Epic!!

[@gianellagrijalva301]

Me pasa igual

[@davegalea6689]

Katrine Stenbekk has such a beautiful voice and far much better then Aurora.

[@pranayprakash316]

Like old hymns come from mountains..no need to understand just feel the rain..love from India

[@thorbridge9093]

The Gods /Goddesses and ancestors have definitely blessed you. Hail the Northern Way!

[@greatpix]

This is the most heartbreaking version of this song I've heard. The version with Aurora brings out more of an ethereal, tribal, experience that goes back to the days of Viking conquests of over 1,000 years ago when Odin was an all powerful god to the Norsemen, whereas this version feels more modern, from 500 years ago and reflects more the sadness of loss of loved ones.

[@joshuarooney8614]

No thor was the most powerful god. I doubt your Scandinavian anyways so, if you want to learn out history please come explore

[@greatpix]

@@joshuarooney8614 Thor was the most powerful god only in your comic books. With a last name like Rooney you must know all about Scandinavians. Let's celebrate Syttende Mai together next year. You bring the lutefisk. (that should give you a hint of where my family is from.)

[@Damesanglante]

I like the original more. No woman signing. It's more tribal.

[@Kristiensen]

Buahahahaha

[@theIastgeneration]

@@joshuarooney8614 thor is notihng its a fakery story of all the other "gods" of this world, fallen ones! THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD AND IT IS YESHUA HAMASHIACH THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING Enjoy your ride, seek HIM as long as you have time May the grace and peace from YESHUA be with all Amen

[@merek5295]

The last time I felt this connected to the gods was when i first discovered the song Helvegen. Thank you.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

I need this song to last forever

[@rolsen1304]

Absolute masterpiece! Hope you will explore the nordic pagan folk genre more, suits the female vocalists voice very well!

[@mrolsen6987]

X2 on that comment 🤘 Even your name👌😂

[@KardavoxAcademy]

The way she say's Odin's name at 2:08 sends chills through my body. Much love, Kalandra, and hail the gods.

[@jimmypancakes2012]

I've never fallen in love with a voice so quickly

[@jakesfishingadventures]

Two things: the ending is definitely the best in this version. Could you imagine aurora, kalandra, and wardruna doing this song together?

[@MrFern410]

I put this in my will for this song to be played as I’m laid to rest.

[@scottk1525]

The closing acapella vocals are the only part of the original I don't care for. But in this cover, it's one of the best parts. Well done.

[@JoneHusa]

thats the only thing i listn to :)

[@matthunter2647]

Do you understand the context or what he's saying in that part? If you did then you'd probably understand why it's done that way.

[@scottk1525]

@@matthunter2647 And yet, this version is still much better.

[@matthunter2647]

@@scottk1525 I have to disagree. The words are from Odin himself and I feel Einar brings them to life much better.

[@scottk1525]

​@@matthunter2647 I don't listen to music for the lore. I listen for the music and the emotion. This version takes the cake on both accounts.

[@Theinnersearcher]

This song is about enlightenment in the most litterlal sense. The poem in the end says: animals die, friends die but i know the thing that never dies, wich is the concioussness itself wich is why Odin one eye, and a raven on each shoulder called hugin and munin wich means thought and memory.

[@Kelly_Cook]

Fun fact: Katrine from Kalandra has toured with Wardruna as one of the singers. Sadly she won't be on tour with them during the US tour, but she's got Kalandra going on so....all good :)

[@matebanks7447]

By Odins raven..I never heard a cover that sounds actually that good !!! Heil tir Shildmaid and heil tir Odin. Skål.

[@stazfredriksen3000]

Wtffff 😂 pls no more cringe

I listen to this everytime I'm super down to remind myself no matter the battle or outcome, I'm fighting.

[@ladyaqua4544]

5 seconds. Goosebumps. Greetings from a new suscriptor, fan and devoted listener.

[@LV.3223]

Im so lucky that I found this song! Its now my favorite

[@kingbala4918]

the whole song is just "goose bumps" but the part from the 5'00 mark is 110 seconds of pure musical and vocal magic. truly beautiful.

[@fizzybeardmusic]

Looking from the Faroe Islands. Had goosebumps every second of this beautiful performance. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Tconeriffic1]

Truly lost for words.. This song has made such an impact on me, and this video was in my suggestions so I saved it for when I had time to sit and listen. I was skeptical thinking it would be difficult to even come close to Wardruna's version. But my goodness, I'm speechless. Thank you.

[@cankutbuyuketi4065]

That glance to her right as she says "Deyja frændr" (kinsmen die)... Absolutely pure and beautiful just as the song and her voice.

[@shornshade]

Last two verses are Håvamål. Very old, but not forgotten.

[@josephbottone9855]

such a beautiful voice , a Masterpiece of sounds. thank you so much.

[@The_Ruffian]

Going through some major stuff in life. Helvegen has been a song that has brought me peace in some of my most difficult times. Excellent cover! I look forward to future works!

[@thestrangler23]

those last 2 minutes brings me to tears every time 😭

[@SeismiTheToad]

It's too good

[@pablopfrmer7393]

Oh jes the last part of this song is magic and from another planet🥺🥺🥺

[@andreamaralfaria4025]

Waiting to see you again in Portugal, and for once taste bliss with this interpretation of Helvegen by Einar Selvik

[@Cryogenius333]

Flames kiss the sky. Face the horizon. Sea is at your feet. Children sing your name along the shore. The Valkyrie are calling. Tonight your journey begins.

[@rubenguerreiro9382]

That sounds badass xD
