You and your spouse moved me to tears, bard.

I think Úlfs parents would have loved this. Imagine if they could have known that a man would write a song about their son, who they obviously loved, 1000 years later

This REALLY pulls at my heartstrings. hauntningly beautiful... What is your process of creating these songs? Keep it up, I love it

[@Snusmumrikenx]

Absolutely mesmerizing! Very glad I found this gem of a channel. Greetings from Sweden!

[@SkaldBard]

Lovely comment, thank you so much. Glad to have you here

[@pmw5967]

Vocals, music and atmosphere of this song are amazing, it feels like Medieval Scandinavia is still alive😊

[@SkaldBard]

Thanks so much!

You weren't kidding when you said there would be more soon. I love the way that you deliver the stories, your mixture of historical characters and the genuine respect for those that lived during those periods paints an incredible picture. Too often, people use history merely as a set piece, they don't care about who or why they fought. You and your wife are an amazing duo, keep up the great work!

[@SkaldBard]

What you've mentioned is exactly what I aim to do, so I'm very touched to read this. Many thanks indeed for your comment

I've been binging your content lately, I just can't stop listening. Thank you.

[@SkaldBard]

That's great! Glad you're enjoying it :)

[@Novak_Andrzej]

Yeah sounds cool! I usually work with Slavic languages but your videos might make me change my direction into something more germanic😄 Old Norse, in your interpretation, fits really well and it's just beautiful. Anyway, a good start, so we are waiting for more videos like this!

[@notme9816]

Yet another banger.

Fallegt lag you really bring life to the dead

[@Briselance]

Passer-by, please stop here for a moment, and spare a thought for these parents who lost their son. And maybe, if you can, if you will, spare a prayer for them. And do not miss a chance to tell and prove to your loved ones that you love them. I have nothing to add. You can resume you journey. Thank you.

Honestly, I myself think it’s healthy to not take everything for granted, for we are finite and mortal, not the other way around… 🕊

We still talk about Ingvar and his journey though... En orðstír deyr aldrei...

Instrumental version plz

It must have been really sad for the parents of Úlfr and the parents of the other men who lost their lives far away from their homes.

[@Vsevolod2002]

He’s very likely to be killed by the Turks, or Russians. The powerful Duke could be Ottoman Sultan or Russia’s Grand Prince

[@Vsevolod2002]

Ulfr’s wearing a kinky armor on 5:16, no shit he got maimed

[@johnvinals7423]

So this is clearly post-Christian because they invoke Mary and God, but in an alternative history where Christianity never caught on outside of certain isolated places like Hayastan or Sakartvelo, would Barkvidr and Helga have prayed for Frigga and Odin to save Ulf’s soul and guide him home to Valhalla?
