I can hear Odin clapping in Valhalla🍻!!

[@magnemitestv3524]

Mathias S. Ha ha!👍

[@BlackStoneCrows]

Let's hope he will vote

[@peterknutsen3070]

For laying down the sword? Among several other things, Odin is a war god. Applause would surprise me.

[@mathiass1999]

Peter Knutsen We are remembering the almighty Odin by sending this song, so Yes! He would be honoured

[@Earthrush]

think you need to read up on vikings , it is a good song but he would , be angry

[@lightbluewaves5526]

still in my opinion, this song had to be the true winner of the eurovision, i love it. greeting from the netherlands

[@fereiq6600]

Thanks I would've loved if we won Greetings from Denmark

[@adamhoke9288]

being swedish and have this unspoken fade with anyone who is danish, I agree. That fact that this didn't win is pure shame

[@IGotRandomOpinions6969]

Even 4 years after this masterpiece. I will always love this

[@rebekka8300]

I love this song and how it represents our Danish culture as Vikings. I honestly think we have a chance of winning Eurovision this year!

[@sciannatv]

Bekse I would have voted, I mean everyone would have voted for Denmark if the song was in Danish. I'm sorry but English language kills the Viking vibe and makes it sound like a Disney soundtrack...

[@Jonathanhusum]

The thing with the song not being in Danish is that for us danes it would sound very bland or almost childish, because it's difficult to produce songs in Danish that will sound just as sexy as those written in the exotic languages such as Italian, French and Spanish. So, if it was written in danish, it probably wouldn't have been chosen as our entry this year, because we enjoy English lyrics much more - but hey, I get the romanticizing of the idea! But I think this is as close as we will get to sending something cultural :-D

[@poulsensteffen]

Bekse vi nøjes da ikke med Eurovision, vi overtager sgu hele verden igen, vi er vel vikinger 😉⚡️⚔️

[@jeancrikke7626]

The Vikings conq Brittanian, and that why it is in english...

[@superMb95]

Ahahahahahah

[@Northena]

Damn, I love the Viking feel in this song. This far this song is so much better than any songs I've heard in Sweden's Melodifestivalen. I hope it goes well for Denmark this year! 12 points from your neighbors across the water!

[@pianissen1777]

Tak Sverige...elsker at rejse i jeres Land

[@escdenmark1044]

You know this song was actually offered to Melodifestivalen, but they rejected it and instead, the writers asked Dansk Melodi Grand Prix who accepted the song. We say thank you! :) And good luck Swedish brothers & sisters

[@Earthrush]

this song represent Sweden Norway and Denmark , The song is about a swedish or norway Viking , Song is created by 2 Swedish or " guys from norway and a Dane that sing it (( the reason I mention sweden and norway in both is becuase i cant remeber it fully ))

[@BT--lk3xi]

Northena thank u

[@uutma]

Jørgen Nielsen, don't forget Vikings from Ösel/Saaremaa (in Estonia) ;) I think it represents them as well. Anyway my 12 points goes to this song as well!

[@Moodyslime400]

Obi Wan: Its over Anakin. I have the high ground! Anakin: *takes the leap to land on higher ground*

[@CatchBurning]

Well Denmark didn't win, but this song we got out of this years Eurovision is better than any trophy if you ask me. 😉

[@rhi1680]

2018... Danmark did win though 😞

[@wardvanaerde3203]

Cool Mouse

[@pyolandovina1157]

@@rhi1680 Israel won I would give it a 4 though

[@futtog100]

the Scandinavian countries SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR HISTORY !!!..GO VIKINGS!!

[@Earthrush]

We are and Many of us Still say it with Pride , no matter what they did in that time , they are a great feared Army

[@CalmKitten184]

Unfortunately in some places it is “racist” to be proud of your heritage. But not for me, I am a PROUD SLAV! And I also like Viking music. 😊

[@xUnN0WNx]

A band of barbarians? you clearly don't know shit, so please just shut the fuck up.

[@rockthehardest]

Say that to my face and you will get my battleaxe you coward.

[@odaxbi]

and you do realise that this song is about St Magnus, a Christian Saint, from the Orkney Islands who while out a viking, refused to fight and jumped ship?

[@Dr.Gardener]

You're potential winners this year! Go Danish brothers! Greetings from Hungary!

[@naggu1243]

[@victoriaiahrsain2717]

Sisu Rannikko Thank you! You too!

[@CalmKitten184]

I thought Finns are Uralic, not Nordic? This doesn’t make Finns less awesome or anything. I have a bit of Finn in me, and Finnland has a lot to be proud of.

[@F4c2a]

Rivka 700 years of sharing your country with Sweden and hanging next to them for 100 years of independence, with russia being our sworn enemy, kinda removed all traces of uralic roots. It's funny, but it's like nothing to the east of us exists for finns. (Except the threat of war.) All the culture we have is from the west. Except for silly things we've come up during the 100 years we were independent. Like sauna and drinking a lot.

[@meginna8354]

F4c2a Finland was a part of Sweden for 650-150 years depending on where in Finland, and then a bit over 100 years part of Russia, and Finland didn't lose much Uralic roots, then Finns would all be speaking Swedish or Russian. Why do so many Finns dislike being Uralic/Finnic?

[@F4c2a]

Sweden is our 2nd language. And why is language the thing that defines us? We dislike anything from the east, because russia is from the east, and fuck russia.

[@vjollila96]

[@bluehoursx]

this may have come out four years ago and have not done so well in the finals but this is still my all time favorite eurovision song. everything about this is absolutely gorgeous

[@tinaolsen990]

Really a great song and finally Denmark comes up with a song that can be connected with our culture.

[@kaybrandt]

so well said, Tina.

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

Somehow I feel this song's gonna be underrated just because it's not "modern enough".

[@lizielita]

FannomacritaireSuomi Modern? It's about peace...

[@magdalenaristanovic7067]

What a great song, the best Eurovision song to me - Rasmussen and his "Vikings" made Eurovision shine bright and clear this year. That's music you can hear forever - it's timeless and beautiful! Thank you so much, Denmark, thank you, Rasmussen, for a great performance! The jury had no clue about good music, folks love your song! A salute full of pride and joy from Switzerland... Well done, boys!

The WINNER OF EUROVISION 2018 is DENMARK! 20 points from Ukraine! Love, love, love! Hey dansk vikings, how do you think what does mean north-western Ukrainian surname DANCHENKO ?? :) Yes, it's true this surname comes from Danish vikings! This surname has origin from this old times when thousands of Danish vikings came to our land as hired warriors of armies of our Kyivan kings Oleh, Svitoslav, Yaroslav the Wise (Olaf Skotkonung son-in-law)! Greetings from Ukrainska Kyivska Rus! Do not confused with Russia! This is a completely different country that stole our history in 1783-84!

[@Dannu45]

That's awsome!!! I had no idea we helped other countries outside the other nordics during the viking area!!

[@rhi1680]

Im going to take it you aren't very good with speaking or typing in proper english... However. I dont care, because you have better english than most people Ive seen on the internet. ^^

each year I manage to avoid every single Eurovision song (apart from the UK as I live there and vote in our selection song) so that it is a surprise on the night. This year was my first at the live shows this song and the staging, and Rasumussen's beard mesmerised me. Must've played this video hundreds of times already since I first heard it live :D

[@galitg5052]

Love the song but I’m sure if it was in Danish it would have been much better.. still one of my favorites.

[@rebeccalassen8769]

Galit G As a Dane I can't imagine this song sung in Danish. I actually think it's really hard to make good Danish music. But I'm so proud that this song will be representing us at the Eurovision Song Contest.

[@Jonathanhusum]

Yeah, like Rebecca said, it's difficult to make good Danish music and we probably won't send any songs in danish because we simply do not "like" songs sung in danish, it would sound very bland or even childish in our ears. We like the idea of sending a danish song, but the thing is, our language is not as cool or exotic as the Spanish/French/Italian languages...

[@JesperJorgensenn]

Oh no no, if anything it should be in Old Norse, danish sounds too little like Old Norse, thanks to german influence 😑

[@galitg5052]

Ahh that could have been great!!

[@galitg5052]

:) I didn't think it supposed to sound exotic, I just thought it could bring more ethnicity

[@maria_kara_410]
