Also look at the official video …. LULU will love Maria’s beautiful red hair and outfit ❤️

[@AndyTernay]

The video is extraordinary. I break out in goosebumps each time I see it.

[@hajovelt3083]

The original video is for a better understanding of whats the deeper meaning of this song.

[@My_Druid_journey.]

Yes, Yes, and Yes....The original video with the young girl. One of their most powerful and hauntingly beautiful rituals. The 3 of them will love it.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Saw them live last year, they are phenomenal! I'm 79 and an avid concert attendee and I dare say with one possible exception they have the best show I've ever seen.

[@alancarter41]

Heilung (German for healing) is classified as an experimental folk band with music that is based on runic inscriptions and text from the Iron and Viking Age. Their founding is rather interesting. Vocalist Kai Uwe Faust worked as a tattoo artist and offered free tattoos to producer Christopher Juul in exchange for help recording some poems. They were joined by Jul's girlfriend Maria Franz to form Heilung in 2015. they use traditional musical instruments, including bones (including a human forearm bone), drums, horn rattles, stringed instruments, and whistles with lyrics from both modern and ancient languages.

[@klausoxen6597]

HEILUNG...an absolutely unique & outstanding Music Project from Denmark, Germany, Norway & There is simply nothing comparable!🦇🥰

[@Zeitgeist6]

Well.. I tend to prefer Wardruna. They're more consistent with their songs.

[@Metzwerg74]

they make you homesick to a place, where you have never been, a life, you never experienced....

[@ez0950]

Anoana is a tale of a young girl, a protector of the land. The band used an old script type language that even they do not fully understand. They said this is the beginning of a story not yet told. It is up for interpretation. Pretty much all their stuff is that way. Always beautiful though.

[@tokemjuju8250]

yup your right, the young girl was the most powerful shaman according to them because of her birth during an eclipse they thought she could fend off Ragnarok otherwise known as the (apocalypse) but the inscription for where they came up with this ritual from most of it was destroyed but what I said before about her being born during an eclipse and her fending off Armageddon was the only thing that was actually known and the reason for the eclipse thing is if you know anything about Ragnarok it was said that in simplified terms when the sun is blotted from the sky that would mark the starting of Ragnarok, and since Anoana was born during this "Eclipse" and she was born as a shaman they seen the eclipse as the beginning of Ragnarok and when the end never came they seen that as Anoana having saved them from Armageddon...

you could just say shes a druid haha jk

All of Heilung’s live performances are amazing.

They are more of magic rituals than performances.

[@thomasspicer97]

what an amazing band i love them. the video for this song is absolutely amazing..

[@derrickramsburg6084]

The official music video is absolutely stunning visually.

[@DanielStolz-qx1ub]

heilung means healing in german language, the band means to heal with their sound. the sound is base on northern euopean tribal music from the bronzeage and before destinated in norway , germany and danmark so are the band members greetings from germany

[@kimkruse7370]

You have to see the video It is very beautiful and may tell more!.

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Sandmann6627777]

I don't understand a word but I feel the text in my heart. The music is absolutely mystical and goes deep into my soul. I feel like I'm connected to it... Heilung is a Nordic ritual folk band with members from Denmark, Germany and Norway. Check out Heilungs Kriegsgaldr's live performance.

Would love to see a reaction to Aurora and Wardruna - Helvegen Live

[@Vinterloft]

Well, no, this side of Norwegian culture died out 860 years ago. This is a museum piece, not a minority spotlight

[@AP-RSI]

Very good reaction! You chose the LIFA Live version, very nice! The official video is also worth watching, but the live version is great! You have to see their show! Seeing HEILUNG live is simply a special experience! You should watch other videos from HEILUNG! BTW: She is a deer goddess... is not a bad description at all. The song is about nature and togetherness and solidarity. The man on the ground with the deep singing is a shaman!

[@PhilH919]

Thanks for doing this ladies. I love Heilung. The video version of this song is wonderful both visually and vocally and gives a better idea of what the story is about. The vocals are not an actual language but a language taken from ancient coins and runs

[@sanjuro66]

The lyrics are based on runic inscriptions found on bracteate coins, during the "Migration Period" of Europe. (300ish to 800ish A.D.) The "official music video" gives off a different vibe, but just as STUNNING. I'm going to see them in Stuttgart, Germany when I travel to Europe in September. :)

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Awesome

[@slymind4919]

as far as im concerned Lulu is right, She's the deer goddess. their music is so beautiful! and please watch the official! this was my first time seeing the live version, and it was incredible! love yall, hope youre all well, and stay safe!

[@Mischnikvideos]

The European metalheads landed here in search of harder, faster and louder. Co-founder Kai Uwe Faust is a Death Metal fan and the typical Death growls are an integral part. The logo is metal, they also release on a metal label and perform at metal festivals, among other things. Stylistically they belong to Nordic Ritual Folk: Healing | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (Live)

[@DebbieCherek]

I went to see them in concert last weekend and it was great. Heilung is pronounced Hi-lung, which means healing. The official video is awesome.

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Kathy Donna now you need to get Lulu some deer antlers to wear now . 😂 Lol. Wintersun Alex ❤️

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Good idea!!

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Ladies! Heilung is an experience. I find their music to be very calming. The music video of this song gives a better feel of the story, but the live performance is wonderful.

[@laurencefox5884]

Try Wardruna...Hellsvegen (with Aurora). Amazing stuff in the same genre.

[@alexthorpe6583]

Heilung use mostly dead languages for their songs, like Old Norse and Porto-German. They're less a band, than a group of historical reenactors, performing what they think their ancestors did for music a thousand years ago in northern Europe. Costumes and instruments are all hand made from natural materials.

[@nathcascen473]

proto -german XD

[@RolfMeyer-cl7ou]

Or Or Oldenburg saxon. I am from norther germany

[@jamesmacoisdealbhaigh9904]

They use some Irish "Gaelige" in some of their songs also.

[@PainInTheS]

I absolutely love the Nordic stuff!!! React to Wardruna, Danheim, Myrkur, Eivør, etc... And you guys in the USA have your own absolutely great band doing Nordic inspired music. They are from Kent, Ohio and called 'Osi and the Jupiter' and they are PHENOMENAL!!! Their song 'Baldur' is a great first one, fully instrumental and pure bliss!

[@circulation69]

I was lucky enough to be at this show, one of the best gigs I've ever been to... and I've been to a lot of gigs!

[@anarcho45]

The instrument is called a tagelharpa, sort of like a harp that you use a bow. Check out her "Hour of the Wolf" song which is trad Norwegian. The group is trying to re-inact rituals from two to three thousand years ago in Northern Europe. Look upon this as indigenous European, shamanistic culture.

[@tommcfeely8707]

Me and a friend of mine got to see them in concert last year and I've never experience a spiritual awakening or something to that nature, but I think what I felt walking out of the theater was close to that. I just remember walking out with my mind blown and have been waiting for them to come back through my area again, because I would definitely go again. I've been listening to their music for the last couple of years and they just calm you down and make you feel great.

[@dougel4709]

They describe themselves as 'amplified history'. Many of their lyrics come for coins and such trinkets found in archeological digs around Scandinavia. Much of which hasn't ever been translated if I remember right. I hear that they hand make many, if not all, of their instruments and costumes. Their name is pronounced "Hei" (like the greeting "Hi") and "lung" (like the breathing organ as it is spelled, but with the 'lu' sounding more one half of Lulu's name.). And they are indeed like nothing you've ever heard before. An interesting, haunting, and addicting rabbit hole to dive into.

[@ronniecorbett6306]

I love love love this song. 🤘 Maria Franz is my favorite singer. Peace

[@tokemjuju8250]

Anoana was young girl, she was the most powerful shaman according to them because of her birth during an eclipse they thought she could fend off Ragnarök otherwise known as the (apocalypse) but the inscription on a coin for where they came up with this ritual from most of it was destroyed but what I said before about her being born during an eclipse and her fending off Armageddon was the only thing that was actually known and the reason for the eclipse thing is if you know anything about Ragnarök it was said that in simplified terms when the sun is blotted from the sky that would mark the starting of Ragnarök, and since Anoana was born during this "Eclipse" and she was born as a shaman they seen the eclipse as the beginning of Ragnarök and when the end never came they seen that as Anoana having saved them from Armageddon...

[@cptpackrat1]

Heilung puts on one of the best performances I have ever seen. Truly life changing. I HIGHLY encourage anyone that likes this song check out the rest of their stuff and try to attend a ritual of theirs.

[@andurit]

The best note was the Cycle of Life. That says it all, awesome performance by Marie and Kai by the way.

[@HH-hd7nd]

As much as I like Heilung's live performances (which are always great) in my opinion it is better to watch their official music videos. This makes it usually easier to understand what they are singing about even without understanding the words. They use a lot of languages in their music, including German, English, Gothic, Old High German, Icelandic, Latin, Old English, Proto-Norse, Proto-Germanic, and Viking age Old Norse and their music is based on runic inscriptions and texts from the early medieval period. The noun Heilung is German btw and means healing.

[@mightyravendark932]

Great reaction. Seen them live a couple of times. and it`s an amazing experience. They sing in an ancient language, and nobody understands it anymore, but it`s not important, it`s the feeling and emotions it brings:) You should definetly check out the video of this song. It`s breathtaking.

[@weepat5325]

Heilung live is an amazing experience. I saw them in LA last December, and at Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver on April 23. I hope to experience them again soon.

[@somthingbrutal]

in a similar vein there is the beautiful song Helvegen performed by the group Wardruna in collaboration with the singer Aurora (and there are English subtitles for it ;) )

[@justingarrett1675]

Wife and I saw them live. It was a 2 hour show. Probably one of the best shows I've ever been to. I hope to see them again some day.

[@Judymoe]

Whenever I hear Heilung, I'm either so calmed and relaxed, or ready to take on anyone who dares attack me!...but I still feel chill about it.

[@shotgundorothy]

Nordic, Celtic, Germanic. Your ancestors.

[@n5iln]

Heilung (HIGH-lung) don't perform concerts. They hold rituals. Very little of what they sing is in English, with the notable exception of the middle section of Krigsgaldr - which I also recommend. As others have already said, go find the official video so you get the visuals to match what's being sung.

[@pillarofdawn]

I have seen hundreds of artist of every imaginable genre, and I can say Heilung was one of the top three live performances I've ever seen

[@lunarwolf5555]

They are Amazing, many thanks for your reaction!

[@isty4491]

I just want to add, you should listen to all of their work You dont have to react to it, but listen to it If possible listen to it when you are quiet, maybe on ear-phones, laying on your bed or relaxing in a chair Let it wash over you This music can HEAL things in you that you never knew were injured The band's name means HEALING ❤ Heilung ❤ Life

[@BigSteni]

das ist so wunderschön

[@Judymoe]

The official video for "Anoana" is worth a watch; it provides the narrative - but still no lyrics - so you get the story. It's also a very beautiful video.

Only part of it. But there are translations available for the Old Norse parts.

[@Redacted-NA]

Music like Heilung transcends our artificial boundaries and connects to something primal in us all.

[@metalfan9000]

The instrument Maria plays in this is a traditional Finnish instrument called "Jouhikko". The strings are made from horse hairs, called "jouhi" in Finnish.

[@olivermbk6042]

welcome to heilung power !!!!

[@LornFortheForlorn]

hey 3 months later, Heilung sings in Old High German, the OG language of Germany. Its very similar to Old Norse Vikings, and Celtic Irish. Anyways heilung’s lyrics are Runes, more than actual words. If you watched the Show Vikings, Eivor does a lot of the music in that show, very similar but very good in it’s own way. highly recommend you check out Eivor

[@andeewb]

That's the live. Now watch the original music video. It's mind-blowingly stunning.

[@andeewb]

Further watching recommendations: 'Krigsgaldr' from the Lifa performance and the 'Norupo' official video.

[@mikenikep5202]

The official videos are amazing. Look up nourpo by this band. It was the first song I heard by them (close to the actual spelling) Tell the young one drugs arent cool. But look into the band and look at some songs Maria (female singer) has written and preformed.

it is so amazing and slightly funny, whenever I see someone watch Heilung (Healing-in english) for the first time, and they all say they have zero clue what they are saying but they love it and just something about it... and that something is your ancestors its something deep inside all of us the tribal part thats why it gives you a feeling in your soul Heilung is amazing you should do other live videos and also the actual music video for Anoana and the other music video from them Norupo

[@evilbrainangelheart9634]

I can say for certain the person who recomended this wanted you to watch the video and not the live performance. The video has so much depth to it its unreal! I watched it the morning it came out and I'm still seeing little details everytime I rewatch it. Please watch the video for the "Family/ Generational" effect.

"HIGH LUNG" the girl with the antlers is married to one of the guys silhouetted (up front to the left) who teamed up with the guy chanting to write the music and production. I know they have some tracks used in the tv "Vikings". everything is based on Germanic rituals and beliefs (pagan) before Christianity, so lulu your pretty close when you said she was a deer god. fyi it was a belief system that valued nature not just humans if that makes any sense.
