[@kylawilson6926]

🤯🤔🧐 WOW, JUST WOW 😳😲 My Random Thoughts On This Interview... #1 - This is powerful & heartwarming!!! #2 - I absolutely love the types of questions he asks!!! #3 - Seriously, we need more interviews like this, questions that make one ponder a bit & real thoughts instead of just a generalized automatic reply to a question that's trivial anyway!!! #4 - This kid is definitely going places in life!!! #5 - How is he already way better at this than every journalist 2, 3 or even 4 times his age?!? #6 - He's definitely wise beyond his years / an old soul for sure!!!

Maria asking to give you a hug at the end melts the heart ,she's such a wonderful human being you're so lucky to have met i'mma go cry now

Lucky kid, if maria gave me a hug i would be extremely happy for some time

[@polki802]

This wonderful woman has been a shining star through Euzen and Heillung. When I die I want to go to her creative bubble - the only way I will ever meet her, so looking forward to it. So much more than special. Love her to bits!!!

[@KingoftheGerudos]

Omg, she asked YOU for a hug, what a sweet and kind woman. That was a great interview too, some really good unique questions to really get to know her on a more personal level.

[@spiritofplace_1969]

The young man is a great interviewer, and Maria is so sympathetic and friendly - she’s a treasure

[@robgau2501]

Heilung is amazing. Heilung, Danheim and Wardruna. Check them all out. The world wouldn't be the same without these folks. Heilung has healed me greatly.

Being an Indigenous American, I always feel the connection from Heilung music which is so beautiful.

[@basslickbasalsock]

I'm a huge fan of Heilung so the algorithm showed me this video. The first of yours that I've seen. Very heartwarming and unique interview. It's obvious Maria loved talking with you 🙂

[@poobutt5335]

[@themzbonez14]

Maria being a very mysterious character on stage, it’s cool to see how interested and active she is in this interview

[@humantacos9800]

She’s very eccentric

[@breccamerie1]

What a great interview! Awesome questions. More in tune with Heilung than most interviews I've seen. Maria seems like an incredible person and you got a hug! I think she really enjoyed this one. I've seen her do other interviews where she seem to tolerate them, but this one there was an air of delight in her tone.

[@littlepunkpeople]

thank you!

[@aryansigrid]

I did a wonderful interview, you asked awesome questions. 'Eye-contact' & 'knowing when to be quiet' makes a 'great listener' which intern makes an 'excellent interviewer' & I think the interviewee notices, bigtime! (That's what I've noticed after watching 1000's of interviews anyway). TY for your video.

[@deketk]

@@littlepunkpeople 'Can I get a hug?' -What a great way to end your interview!! If you ever needed validation for your efforts, this was your A+ She is a genuinely kind loving person.....and man, can she sing!!! I love her! Well done!

[@jodyfinley9122]

Maria Franz is the essence of beauty externally and internally. I have much respect, gratitude and admiration for her essence.

[@OriginalCouber]

It's funny how most of these "pagan" singers and entertainers are the most down to earth, loving and humble people there are. They might look and sound intimidating on stage but interviews like this shed another light on the soul behind the music.

[@BlazingPhoenix14]

When Maria said that lesson she would teach her younger self was 'Don't worry about finding out who you are - just live and you will see' (more or less what she said), I thought that was a lesson I certainly needed to learn and which most other people should too.

[@heisenberg8414]

I once went to a concert of Heilung and was on mushrooms. That was the coolest and most formative experience in my life. With or without mushrooms, everyone who is into spiritual experiences should have seen this band live!

[@dpclerks09]

What did you learn?

[@wolfygrl24]

Just saw their show in Chicago, they were beyond amazing! It’s not a concert, it’s an experience. Anoana is one of my favorite songs.

[@SigurdB.]

More insight into Maria's mind and affirming moreover that she is such a genuine beautiful human being, compounded with an ethereal and captivating voice. Glad to see that she and the young interviewer share environmental concerns and advocacy.

[@dietcoke_zilla334]

My gf & I saw them in Minnesota. Truly an experience. More than a concert. 20/10 would recommend.

[@chrispeterson8781]

I was there. Hell yes!

[@mystiqueisland777]

More in love with Maria than ever. She is my heroine! I got to see them live in Worcester and as a woman seeing Svarand, I cried and was blown away. Equality, love, nature, darkness, primal. Love them sooo much.

[@z.s.n.]

I'm super proud of you elliott. This was one of my favorite interviews yet. You've created your own brand and it's been awesome watching you and your channel grow.

[@beerinoculum]

what a special woman. everything this group does truly connects with me, and I can only say that for a few bands/artists honestly. you just want to hangout with her endlessly

[@witchofthestorm]

I would love to spend five minutes just talking with Maria and Heilung. I discovered them through a friend during the pandemic in late 2020 and fell in love with their music. Was planning on seeing them this month in LA but college and lack of funds kind of messed that up. Hopefully this isn't their only American tour, I'd be so blessed to see them live.

[@Hazivix]

That was a great interview! Not the standard fare kind of questions, and all more tailored to Maria. You could tell she genuinely appreciated that. Well done!

[@tommcmahon3200]

Hey Elliott cool to see you growing up but not changing. Love your channel and I think this is one of your best vids. Its always cool to see artists responding to your genuine spirit of appreciation. Never heard of Maria Franz or HEILUNG but you havent steered me wrong so far!

[@littlepunkpeople]

You have to check them out asap. They’re like no other band you’ve ever heard!

Saw Heilung live 1-2 months ago in the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen Germany and man, Heilung paired with the location was so damn amazing. It was raining like crazy but people still enjoyed themselves and loved it for the most part! Definitely an experience I will never forget and I wanna see them again.

[@GrasslandsG81]

As a Pagan and a metalhead, this was an awesome collaboration!!! Nice going, Elliot! Glad to see that you're still doing your thing. I'm hoping to see Heilung in Dallas next month... it's been a goal of mine for years!

Lucky Fella, Great interview with the goddess that is Maria Franz. You asked some great questions...nice one.

[@Istariable]

This guy is amazing... Best questions and interactions ever. Usually interviewers ask stupid things, but this guy asks the right questions.

[@jonathanatkinson2515]

I just went to a live show a few days ago & was completely blown away. They had already touched my soul just hearing them & seeing videos but watching them live was a heavy impact on me. If Maria starts hovering while singing, it would further prove that we have an angel amongst us 🙌🏽

[@JoBee-si9nb]

What a beautiful interview. Maria is just such an amazing human being; beautiful, mystic and not at all arrogant. I wished there would be more women reconnecting to this true female spirit.

[@JoBee-si9nb]

And Elliot, you are really such a wonderful interviewer, I hope you'll keep on going with doing so, whith what ever you'll do still in your life.

This was a great interview. She is awesome, and he asked great questions and prompts. I'm seeing Heilung for the second time next week, super hyped!

[@SithCelia]

These are the kind of interviews that spur imagination rather than just asking for straight answers. I just started listening to Heilung last week. Too bad they were in my neck of the woods a couple of months before I decided to give them a listen, or I'd have gladly paid whatever it took to get into one of those live performances. In the meantime, I watch every possible video I can find of them and jam out to their music at work. Those drums and Maria's ethereal voice go straight into the primal core of my being. They play the soundtrack of the human soul.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I'm going to The Ritual in San Francisco in a few weeks. I can't wait! Every interview I watch of Maria, she's always so laid back and cool.

[@erminsul3166]

[@jamesheady7216]

Hey Elliott, I really enjoyed your interview, and I came across Heilung’s music a couple of years ago. I’m glad you know of them, and it’s cool that I found your video of this interview just now since I was listening to tracks off of their latest album Yesterday. Thanks for sharing your interview, and I hope you’re doing well. I look forward to seeing more from you soon.

Respect to the interviewer. I couldn't sit so relaxed next to her and would probably be so nervous that I couldn't make a sound. I've seen heilung live several times and was overwhelmed by Maria's presence on stage every single time. Edit: He asked more interesting questions than many other interviewers
