Many thanks to our fantastic crew and all our extras for helping us make this happen!
Lyrics:
If I would give you my clear skies, If I would give you all golden fields of grain.
Strong legs, a tireless heart. An ocean as still as a lake.
Would you still worship and pray, and not forget my name: "Umai".
Instead I’ll give you my storm, I’ll give you my hail.
I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and distroy your fields.
And you’ll reach for the sky, but in this mud you’ll die.
And you will pray, when lightning illuminates your face.
If you are a sweet child. Never scream to get your way.
I will forget you lying there. I’ll sleep for a million days,
and not hear your prayers: “Umai”.
Instead I’ll give you my storm, I’ll give you my hail.
I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and distroy your fields.
And you’ll reach for the sky, but in this mud you’ll die.
And you will pray, when lightning illuminates your face.
You will pray: “Umai”.

[@Allyson6C]

Yup - sure is. This popped up in my feed a cpl yrs back - pretty sure it was during the COVID lockdown. But that’s when I decided that I really enjoyed her voice & their style. She reminds me of Heilung’s vibe. That tribal, Viking magic vibe. Admittedly tho this vid could’ve been a lot better imo. I feel she could’ve taken us on an excursion- where the video literally takes us out of ourselves. She already had us there til they pulled up in an old Chevy Rabbit or an early 80’s Dodge lol. That yanked me out and put me right back in my seat lol. Shame bcz it all could’ve been done without exceeding whatever budget she had at the time.

I literally spent the last two and a half hours trying to find this song, I listened to it more than a year ago, and it just came to my mind, but the only thing I could remember is that the name of the song started with U and it had a female vocalist. After two hours and some minutes I remembered that the song was the name of a deity, so it started the quest to find the name of deities that start with U, around 20 minutes reading lots of pages on the web, my eyes just glanced at >Umai

@touchnotthiscat "This guy isn't letting his poor experiences turn him into someone who hates or abuses women." I'm not so sure about that. He sounds an awful lot like an abuser. No female person has ever said something nice to him *ever*? *All* women he has *ever met* have treated him "poorly" and he's still waiting to "find a pleasant" one? Either his mother is keeping him locked up in the basement since his birth OR he does not apply the same standards to women as he does to men. He's most definitively talking about *sexual* attention he thinks women owe him, not just the basic human respect people usually have for each other. IF he's not then, oh boy, that would mean that every woman he's ever met literally hates his guts -- and we'd have to wonder what he does to have that effect. Either way, he's already blaming "the bad guys who turned the good ones bad" for his future actions. Tbh, he sounds an awful lot like misogynist mass murderer Elliot Roger who similarly called himself an "ideal magnificent gentleman" before murdering six people and himself, or like Roger's fan Alek Minassian who has 10 counts of murder and 13 counts of attempted murder. Let's make no mistake, the Incel/Redpill/Manosphere community is *not* a bunch of harmless young men who got unlucky in their love life, it's an ideological cult that regularly turns spineless people like Derek into domestic terrorists. "Nice Guys" are not nice.

Interesting choice of a nickname and song's name. Both, Umai and Shereen are words existing in Turkic languages, i.e. Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Turkish etc. Kyrgyz people would believe that Umai is a goddess, who protects women and children. And "shireen" is translated as "juice; sweet; nice".

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umay Umay is the goddes of life and death, fertility, mothers, children, nature, the earth. She is the bestower and keeper of the "life soul" of all beings, she can grant it, take it as she sees fit. Disrespecting mothers, children, the earth and nature are sure ways to make her take lives and she can convince the winds of fate to help her. Her mythology is pretty cool and quite diverse depending on which ethnic groups' stories you listen to.

I get the feeling that this song portrays the karma cycle of 'what comes around goes around'. The quakes of war and hatred returned by the tremors of the earth, the poisons filling the waters becoming our slow-killing sustenance, and so on.

It's because she is dressed like a "dragon-woman". Notice the scales on her legs; the horns; a reptile miniature on her boots; a claw-like ring; a tail on her back; face paint.

[@TomatoAbe]

IlIlIlIl To be fair, only the dragon "tail-oring" (yuk-yuk-yuk!) and the lizard-heels are shown in the first minute, and I didn't even see the rad heel mods until after this comment. In fact, my first impression of "draconic theme" in the video also came from the (really cool IMO) tail motif of the cloak/dress. I'd also argue that the leg scales could be pretty easily dismissed as just decorative jewelry, unless you already know what symbolism to be looking for, and the horned hairstyle could be interpreted a few different ways as well. The same could be said of the face paint, and I straight-up couldn't even really see the ring well enough to draw meaning from it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I look into the mirror through a thousand worlds and see myself looking back laughing.

[@rossurquhart2596]

3 years ago I listened to this all the time then lost my way back after 3 years I found it again

[@bluewinnie8281]

I love so much female vocals I'm so in love 😍

[@darrelllanglois2151]

An ancient blood forgotten and disdained in this day we forget who we all are and the only thing that can change that is the voice of the great mother and great father which resounds from your very voice

[@kraftzsu]

Hé a mindenit ez valami csodálatos köszönöm szépen az élményt még felemelkedni is könnyű lesz ilyen zenével

[@KetsuekiRose]

Every day there is music in my dreams. Lately this. I found this image seeking inspiration for a story I am writing. Learning of the amazing person behind the image gave my plot more depth. Inspiration is a two-way street!

[@theacman135]

I feel as if I know this music, in a past life, as If its the residue of ,my former lives!!!!

[@andersonurbano8607]

This video deserves a sequel! Beautiful work!!! Keep it up!

[@GeezSeezU]

Half US indigenous stopping in to feel the connection again🫀👣👣🐾🐾🦝

[@christokristoff2252]

Shireen! I really hope you do another album. This one was just so god damn good. I don't know how many times I've listened to it now.

[@tyborg1]

The dress is a piece of art….wow…

[@LanceRidenerStudiios]

LMAO the one guy at 5:45 without the orange tip not covered, "GARRY WE TOLD YA TO PAINT IT BLACK....WILL FIX IT IN POST!!!" then just gets left in.

It's so beautiful of a song because she is personifying "Madame Fortune" or "The Scarlett woman" in her Lyrics, while Simultaneously enacting her eventual fate throughout this Video, Losing herself and her followers to "Human Virtue" or "The Lambs of God" in the final Scene of battle. What a Beautiful work of Human Art.

[@Chromak3y]

its the first time I listen to this "Electoronordic" genre. I have to admit its a unique one and I'd love to see more music projects joining this genre

[@DrachenGothik666]

This is Turkic metal. Nuthin' "Nordic" about it, mate!

[@mmeus1]

Oh God, this is absolutely awesome. Even this low budget video. I just have no words... Everything here is just stunning. Cheers from Poland! Love you!

[@rambo6699]

Those eyes at 3:53. Instantly fell in love

End of times... when the old gods finally come back and say "Enough! No more!"

[@alfredharrison597]

This is what I was saying above.

[@phyose4793]

KZbin Algorithm, you've made me very happy today. This joy was taken away when I realized it took you 4 YEARS TO RECOMMEND THIS TO ME!

[@sel1736]

Wardruna brought me here ... glad I came!!! Love her voice!!!

[@darkguyver3]

These speak to my soul thank you so much

[@DB-xo6xh]

Can someone explain to me why someone like me finds this so calming and give me certain feelings of connectedness. And then also why some people find it scary and unappealing? It gets my "soul" going. Do we have souls? Or is it just our brains capable of so much but humankind hasn't even unlocked much of our brains potential. Help. Ps. My ancestors are Spanish and native Aztec peoples.

[@jurikurthambarskjelfir3533]

For me it is war spirit

[@seanhartnett79]

To me it gets me angry and ready to fight.

[@Madfattdeeb]

Hands down the best music video I've seen this year!! Love the song and clothing soooo much!! I want to live in that world!

[@PanPrawda]

If not those heels iwould call it ok. But the music is good.

[@andreajane8211]

I love it when things that pop up on your suggested list that look cool and they are.

[@Jabullz]

I've listened to the first 1:35 of this song for going on 4 years now at least a thousand times, just restarting it when it gets to that point. Just because I love the mental story it gives me and her voice is beautiful. But this is the first time realizing that the god she claims to be sounds a lot like how I used to feel about alcohol. Golden grain, strong legs/tireless heart, etc. It got me through the day at that point in my life, hell it WAS my life. Just something I thought was interesting, I doubt it was anything the artist was trying to convey with the music, it just happened to match. Edit: Warhammer edit -------- Come to think of it on another note, a Grey knight Astartes would definitely fight her. She's 100% a Chaos agent, demon or otherwise.

[@Harukocherryblossom]

The name of the song reminds me of rengoku 😭

[@daniil_blinov]

Необычно. В хорошем смысле. Понравилось!

[@charlotte4756]

If I Would give you my clear skies If I Would give you all golden fields of grain Strong legs and tireless hearts An ocean as still as a lake Would you still worship and pray And not forget my name Instead I'll give you my storm I'll give you my hail I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and destroy all the fields And you reach for the sky But in this mud you'll die And you will pray When lightning illuminates your faith When lightning uh lightning If you sweet child Never screamed to get your way I will forget you lying there And sleep for a million days And I hear your prayers Umai Umai Umai, umai Instead I'll give you my storm I'll give you my hail I will tear out trees, sweep up the seas and destroy all the fields And you reach for the sky But in this mud you'll die And you will pray When lightning illuminates your faith Who will pray? Who will pray? You will pray!

[@somebody31415]

I just stumbled across this, and I love it!

[@billydee4272]

0:30 If that’s the sound of string tensioning, then the person who decided that was a good idea is a musical genius and a brilliant composer...IMHO.

[@robc.ferwerda1095]

This song is amazing ! Annicke Shireen has an incredible good voice ! I'm looking forward to their album with much interest !

[@gerardomoncada5222]

Rob C. Ferwerda I'm looking forward to the new album, appropriately titled 'Matriarch,' in the mail. Compliments of the Militant United States Postal Service 🙇🐻👼

[@barnsy4854]

Hasnt dissapointed!

[@stelladru2358]

Still love this, still moved by it. It's a call to action.

[@khalifrayan2363]

Awsome song.Great video!" I wouldn't even know how to describe this great unique sound"(.Maybe like a combination of Trobar de Morte and Omnia combined.) I look.forward to getting there C.D.I can't wait to see other videos and hear other songs from them too. To see them live in concert if the timing allows me to would be magikal.And even to see a video where they played live will be great. Thank you Khalif Rayan🌒🎸🎶🎶🌌

[@Evan_Bell]

The lyrics perfectly capture the relationship with humans and the gods. Without natural risks, man has no use for the gods. Without prayer, the gods will not help us against these risks.

[@Okovburkan]

Tangra voice still echoes around this earth. Greetings from Bulgaria.

[@Nightfall413]

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to your songs. Som realmente lindo ^^
