It slays me how tracks like this have any dislikes. I can only imagine someone stumbling onto this and just being mad that it isn't overproduced mainstream garbage. How dare anyone make music that is contemplative and beautiful and not obnoxious and loud!

[@markchristopher4165]

I come back to this track over and over. A truly immaculate vocal piece.

[@Indiana_stones]

Ah lads..... This stirs the blood In me. Incredible. That bass too..... 💚💪🏻

Probably the most stunning sunset I've ever seen.

[@tanyadixon7980]

Another comment: beautiful basso profundo; is he an oktavist? Depth of color and light in his voice, so rare and captivating. Sweeps you away, like a specific wind. A vocal tide lain over the sea. That's what I hear and see.

[@christopherflanagan4801]

This is my deep peace song this is magical what a voice . Magical stuff Need full album of this amazin stuff. Deep rich powerful amazin. 👍👍😎

[@josephkarl2061]

As others have said, this needs to be the theme for a TV show involving animal pelts, swords, horses, Northern European scenery and twisted family lineage. Amazing as always.

[@SaraWeeda]

Obligatory "at least half of these views are mine!" comment. In all seriousness, though - I can't stop watching this! Very powerful song, and equally impressive video. Both epic and haunting.

[@irishprems2010]

Am going to see you guys on Thursday in Dublin so looking forward to it. As a history teacher I love the concept of singing old songs. I love the fusion of old and new. This video is particular nice as it compliments the song so beautiful. When I first studied vikings in UCD, they were ruthless, sophisticated and incredible seafarers but viking history is incredibly popular now, at long last. Its wonderful that you are given life to the 9th century saga's from the vikings. This style of video sets you apart from other groups. Bring more of the traditions of the other members as well. I love the song the sheep stealer which I think comes from Northfolk, music brings people together, ordinary simple people. Our pasts are full of beauty, poetry, talent, I know you guys will do an amazing job respecting it all. Well done. I am a brisk lad though my fortune is bad And I am most wonderful poor. But indeed I intend oh my life for to mend, And to build a house out on the moor, my brave boys, And to build a house out on the moor. The farmer he keeps fat oxen and sheep And a neat little nag on the downs. In the middle of the night when the moon does shine bright There's a number of work to be done, my brave boys, There's a number of work to be done. I'll ride all around in some other man's land, And I'll take a fat ewe for my own. With the aid of my knife I will end of its life And then I will carry it home, my brave boys, And then I will carry it home. And my children they will pull the skin from the ewe, And I'll be in a place where there's none. When the constable comes I will stand with my gun And I'll swear all I have is my own, my brave boys, I'll swear all I have is my own.

Should be a fantastic gig. Come say hello to us after.

Amazing ever adore this ever beautiful low tones thank you

[@firtazile8035]

Wonderful!

[@trnobles]

Oh man this is awesome! Someone needs to make a Vikings-style show set in ancient Ireland so this can be the theme song

[@geroutathat]

Considering the largest battle the vikings ever had was against the Irish and lost, that the irish were known to crack an armour helmet with a single blow of an axe, that in mainland europe they were known as the fastest soldiers on the planet, and when used in europe would run off ahead of large armies, bareback on horses naked, and come back with the heads of their enemies held high in the air screaming covered in blood, considering ireland was split into several kingdoms all waring with each other and with themselves. Considering all that, it would mae one hell of a show.

[@tabletalk33]

There are Viking songs like this. Just enter 'viking music'. There is one that will turn you into a new kind of man in less time than it takes to walk around the block.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

[@floatingmedusa]

I wish I had a voice like that! I bet if the police stops this man, he could just look in the officer's eyes and says "there is no problem here. You will now release me on my way" and the police would obey.

I saw these guys last night together with my daughter and granddaughter. Three generations very much enjoyed their voices and their joyfull vibes. They souded absolutely incredible in a small old church in Middelburg. Thank you M'anam.

I remember listening to his recordings of Loch Lomond and the volga boatmen on his little youtube channel like 10+ years ago. I didn't even realize when I saw him in Anuna that it was the same guy, he looks like a viking now.

Thank you! I have been on a hunt for the lyrics. Of course, now comes the next challenge - pronunciation.

[@pappy9892]

@@Dancambra06 it's phonetic unlike much of English which is tough due to the unwieldy olde tongue that won't fade away. Learn the rules and that's it. As is the case with most other languages.

I immediately thought about a couple of collaboration with Peter Hollens. First with Tim Foust kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5OVeYVqbNOje7c And this one with Avi Kaplan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDGYourpt-sfdU (scroll to the part where Avi’s solo starts for really low voice😜)
