I saw a comment on another video of him that said “Every time he sings, the Gods gather to listen.” I couldn’t agree more.

[@zentierra7803]

this man is an instrument of the gods.

[@cheslavchernof7010]

true

[@tomasm.9362]

Absolutely YES

[@catiabonifazi52]

Verissimo

[@ryanleetierney]

The gods are speaking to us. 👍

[@DRJMF1]

I could not have described him better than that. well done. He is out of this world, he does not belong here, he's on an entirely different level and wavelength, just like our Viking ancestors were.

[@TheIris1]

There's something like darkness and a beautiful very beautiful light in their songs and I can't put into words the feelings that I have when I heard them. Einar's voice has something inexplicable, something like pain and much love at the same time and in a cetain way this brings a great peace. Really can't explain!

[@lorrainestern8160]

I think you explained it beautifully. I don't understand the words however many of his songs reduce me to tears, yet I can't get enough of the music......so powerful, so beautiful

[@TheIris1]

Lorraine Stern, Exactly! I also don't understand the lyrics or the language in which the songs are, however they bring me one of the best feelings I've ever felt and I love it, and it also makes me cry.

[@w1ck3ds1ck]

It's the balance in everything. What we feel when listening to this song is everything at once, every extreme and its exact opposite... That's why it's so powerful and you can't help yourself but break out in tears. It's beautiful.

[@alysmarcus7747]

I find Myrkur music the same way - - there is the depth and intention of the person behind the voice - THEY BELIVE what they sing. They are bards and priestesses - not entertainers

[@somegirl558]

And you have a writing tallent :P ..no really

[@El33G33kGoat]

Wow, not matter the mood, no matter the place, Einar's Voice always makes everything stop and the world become humble.

[@goygohar]

Listening to them is a holy ceremony for my soul and mind.

[@ellex8597]

I personally prefer this version over the one with electric guitar. The acoustic sound of instruments mix really well with Einar's voice and it makes it more meaningful 💞

[@LayllasLocker]

I hope one day to see them live.

[@PoladRasulzade]

Me too

[@kheidal]

They'll be playing at Midgardsblot next year, if getting to Norway for a weekend is possible of course, hehe.

[@holzfasss]

In 3.5 months 🤗🤗🤗

[@Dajeffe1]

On my "to do" list as well

[@dricebaillet6745]

Damn Einar, hail that ever growing braided beard Wonderful version thank you

[@NicolasDrummer]

Einar voice is pure magic

[@Imax331]

The gods are working through the breath of this man. Hail.

[@hejnye]

listening to Wardruna gives me strength to endure and accomplish the impossible

[@user-so8kx7uj2x]

Einar is a lot different and better than 20 years before and I'm very happy for that. He evolved and he created his level of music...finally, the last year, I have "my" type of what I prefer to hear daily...thanks to Einar

[@zvonimirbasic444]

One of my favourite songs by Einar. Takes me to another universe, and hearing him live would be a dream come true. Hopefully i will manage to go on one of his concerts

[@HladniSjeverniVjetar]

But it's talking about this world... govori o stvarnosti pravoga života.. ne urbanoga.

[@saranasarana9345]

Трогает до глубины души и слёзы наворачиваются!!!👏🔥👍

[@lionman333]

I was really blessed by the gods to watch Wardruna live in Brasilia, Brazil on 2017. Cant wait to see you guys peforming again. Your music conects my soul to the gods.

[@kathleenv7929]

Beautiful. I don't understand the words, yet still it brings me to tears

[@zejz31]

Power of art 👍

[@Game.UI.Design.Tutorials]

It talks about the circle of life. The song begins with words:" Life from every death. Death from every life..."

[@kathleenv7929]

David Raskin Thank you David. Speaks to my soul

[@ara5h22]

Thank you from Armenia 🇦🇲 I love you Einar so much, I love Wardruna 🖤

[@rhiannonpittwood7036]

How could this possibly EVER have any dislikes?? Do those people have no soul?? Because this stirs mine... ❤️

[@bradthepit]

Indeed.

[@Rasputina29]

Actually, Nio Zen inner language is the same. It's telepathic. A knowing that while the same has differences of opinion. ;)

[@Rasputina29]

@Nio Zen sorry I haven't replied b4 now. I don't get notifications anymore so I didn't know about yr reply until today when I came back to this vid and checked. Anyway, I never said we are all the same just that inner language is as it's more of an inner knowledge. A main reason that if one quiets the mind enough they can communicate w/any species.

[@Rasputina29]

or nationality. Which I think is probably a reason so many ppl love music such as Wardruna and Heilung. It resonates on a deeper level being it's about things that came before materialism and all the other trappings of modern day.

[@Rasputina29]

@Nio Zen No I didn't mean equanimity. I just meant simply quieting one's mind. As in ceasing the mind's chaos and sitting quietly. You seem to be stuck in the old, skeptically boxed in school of thought. Maybe not completely but it seems it creeps around the edges of yr thought process. Truly I am sorry for throwing out a judgment like that being Idk you but it hurts my heart when views are rigid.

[@graemesandstrom5654]

To think that I was blissfully sailing on a Hurtigrutin cruise (which starts and finishes at Bergen) at that time, completely unaware that Wardruna, AURORA, Kalandra and the other amazing artists from Norway even existed. That does it! After the pandemic I’m goin’ back!

[@canoestothemoon]

Silje is SUPERB on the hardanger in this... wow, just wow.

[@user-vf1eb7oe8n]

Обожаю этот прекрасный голос и музыку, которые берут за душу.Спасибо за ваше уникальное творчество .

[@harperswank1053]

Your music connects me to the gods in a beautiful and calming way. your music erases any fear I have and replaces it with hope. thank you

[@SWAGLIFT]

Can´t wait for the live performance in Czech republic again late in 2019!! #ThankYou

[@kato8627]

Don't understand a word but this made me tear up

[@mabildesoares3755]

Magnificent....love your voice Einar.

[@SushkoAlex]

Восхитительно! ЗВукорежиссеры молодцы! Отлично поработали!

[@starrealm2621]

They say the black African is the original creators but we never came close to creating such nordic beauty

[@sarahgray430]

African traditional music is beautiful too. I share Einar Selvik's songs with my Facebook friends from Nigeria and Morocco, and they share their songs with me.

[@user-xh9pl6de2k]

Молодцы, очень душевно. "Du er, du var, du vert, du vinn, du veks! Du vaknar!". (с) Kvervandi ( Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik)

[@jodyfinley9122]

This becomes more and more profound and powerful everytime I experience it.

[@dreamingmusic3299]

(English) Turning Life from every death, death from every life. Life from every death, death from every life. The wheel sings of rings, not lines. Sun-starved wolves, horses chased. Shining Sol! Turning wheel! Life from every death, death from every life. Your self sacrificed to yourself on a wind-battered tree; knowledge demands it. Norns, spin! Fates, win! Mills, grind! Roosters, crow! Strike, hail! Ice to water! Heart, beat! Fields, be sown! Each breath, each beat, each day will come anew! Turning! Turning! Out of the gap of Ginnunga you are, you were, you become, you gain, you grow! You awaken! You awaken! Life from every death, death from every life.

[@ValCharis]

A live DVD would be so sweet, although I really hope to see you live in Norway one day.

[@P02JI]

Очень радует, что с каждым днём, все больше русскоговорящих проникаются творчеством wardruna.

[@Nikita__POPOV]

Despite the fact that I do not speak this language, this song and Wardruna's creation made me listen it carefully with bated breath

[@dariauknown1520]

The moment you realize that unlike other songs his sound amazing in real life. :)

[@senka2578]

Ever since I heard this song I can’t stop playing it. It is a statement to Selvik’s skill as an artist, musician, vocalist and songwriter that people are so moved by his music.

[@theswampling]

Thank you so much for healing my wounds with your music Einar!

[@ibrahimensarkucuk9097]

I strangely feel like this song is communicating with the profound nature of my existence. The drums are so vital in this. A beautiful conversation.

I hope to someday grow a beard as good as Einars beard

[@kheidal]

Just have patience. A lot of patience. And let it grow, keep it healthy with a good beard oil. All that's to it!

Музыка "Вардруны" так трогает за душу людей всего мира, потому что у каждого народа есть свои истоки, корни, в том числе дохристианские, доисламские, языческие. У каждого народа есть своя древняя версия происхождения мира, свои легенды, мифы и сказания о героях и событиях становления мира, боевые песни. Музыка "Вардруны" - это зов наших предков из дали веков, вечное и неистребимое в нас, несмотря на внешний лоск цивилизации. Это коллективное бессознательное. Поэтому эта музыка находит отклик в сердцах многих народов, а не только скандинавских народов. Это не только зов крови, но и зов души! А Эйнар сладкоголосый скальд, в котором этот зов проявился очень сильно и удачно! Рада, что слушаю эту музыку!
