Falling Free Live in Torshavn is a must. One of the best songs ever. And I say that as a blackmetal guitarist;)

[@Z_TPI]

This metalhead also agrees haha

[@davidlfort]

It is really good, but I prefer the version of Let it Come live at Studio Boch (sprlling?)

[@malcolm3058]

I listen almost exclusively to black metal and Falling Free Live in Torshavn is in my top 10 songs ever.

[@ToM_TouchOfMadness]

This! ☝🏻

[@crhu319]

Agreed. It's a masterpiece and made my top ten live performances of the 2010s

[@alanfoster6589]

The fortunate few who were at this.. No fancy dress, kids with parents, beautiful day...this is rare for any performance.

[@FluffysMum]

Eivør the most famous Faroe Islander in recent times, makes my Faroe Island DNA happy. I love her music, and if you ever saw the TV series The Last Kingdom, she sings the main theme music and all incidental music. She is incredible 💘👍

[@daginn896]

Shes a great artist, you should be proud. Cheers from Norway

[@alfogel3298]

“Falling free” is a masterpiece-her on guitar and drummer going wild. Her angelic range and that sustained last note is incredible. Al

[@ericdroddy7444]

Free Falling by Eivor live at the Old Theater is amazing 😃😍

[@evelisepereira4849]

Hi from Brazil. Eivør's "Falling Free" - Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn is my favorite song in my 54 yo. Like you, my first Eivor song was Tròdlabùndin and now I'm "almost" understanding faroese because of her 😁. Every day I play at least one of her songs and "Falling Free" is the one I love most! 🤩

[@sagasilverhand4290]

She has a song called Salt done in an old train station that is a phenomena itself.

[@johnwilliams575]

Just discovered this phenomenal singer yesterday, since when I've listened to goodness knows how many reactions to this song, and also "Falling Free", which, if you've not already listened to it, I urge you to do so! I love the way that you allow the performance to run uninterrupted, and have added your thoughts by way of subtitles, unlike the majority of reactors, who are constantly stopping and starting, putting their two penneth in and disrupting the flow. Much respect to both you and Eivor!

[@howyoudoin7897]

Do “Falling Free” next, even if you don’t do reaction at least listen to her songs in your free time, it’d be worth the journey.

[@troedelgerry]

Yes, I second that ! Mindblowing performace and song. Unbelivable vocals !

[@seanmurphy637]

Yes. Absolutely. Do the live performance at the Old Theater in Torshavn. Spectacular performance.

Eivør - Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn) 👍

[@henningmathiassen412]

After the "folk Eivor" ypu just have to react to the "Rock Eivor" with FALLING FREE. One of the most amazing rock songs I have ever heard - she is giving Rock a new dimension with her fantastic vocals. Yes - thy out the Thorshavn performance!

[@akselsjllnder8678]

Very good choice. She's so natural in her performance. Fits the type of music extremely well.

[@rosegoi360]

Falling free, Gullspunnin, Manásegl, Wake me up, true love, í tokuni all live performances; and if you have time, this same song but the short version, is about 2 minutes, but is way more raw and powerful!, and basically any live song from her is mindblowing!. She has also colaborate with Einar from Wardruna in the song "Helvegen", she sings and play the drums in that one. Thank you for giving Eivor a chance! She's so underrated but so talented and inspirational :D

[@patriciamayhew6321]

It's called Trollabundin, which means 'spellbound'. In the video she sings in the mountains, with video of her and the dramatic scenery. Her voice has such a primal power to it, it reaches right to the core. Be sure to watch all the way to the climactic ending. It's sure to give you goose bumps! Lyrics Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð Spellbound I am, I am The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul In my heart burns a sizzling fire, a sizzling fire Spellbound I am, I am The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound in my heart's root, my heart's root My eyes gaze to where the wizard stood

[@B.117th]

Eivor -- So talented. This song, this version of it... she's amazing. About a year ago, hearing this song pointed me to Heilung, Wardruna and many other artists in the genre. Glad you enjoyed it, ty for reaction video.

[@Aagaardable]

Check out Heilung - Krigsgaldr (lifa) Wardruna ft Aurora - Helvegen (live) It is awesome

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

AMAZING. I can’t get enough of this song. A little throat singing in it. So primal. Beautiful!

[@eriktorp1908]

Yeeess ! 😊 Finally. 🙏 You mentioned goosebump alert in this video, but I think her performance in Torshavn "Falling free" will blow your goosebump scale..😳👌

[@willasacco9898]

Your reaction was spot-on. When I first heard this, my jaw dropped and I was transported to a natural, northern garden of Eden.The commenters will guide you through the Eivor world and you will be continually moved and amazed.

[@Brandon_Beaty]

I greatly enjoyed your reaction. Eivør is a fantastic artist with a voice from out of this world and a great connection to her culture that is transcendent across the globe. All the very best to you! ✌️

It's hard not to zone out to this performance. You get spellbound, just like the person in the song. I don't know if the Danish language have the word Trollbunden.

Completely!!! ❤️

[@kathleensmith3555]

Isnt she wonderful? -- been listening to her for quite some time now --- She sings in several languages and sounds awesome in all of them --- I dont need to understand the words because I feel them in my soul --- I am so impressed how quick you understood what the throat singing represented -- She has been doing live concerts on line lately ( because of Covid) and I have enjoyed getting to see her gentle spirit -- and lovely to see her family join in as well --- like everyone else I love Falling Free -- Also Salt -- Verde Min and the video for True Love (official video) is striking and haunting --- She is my favorite singer right now

[@Accolonian]

Fun fact: She has been singing this song for a number of years and keeps changing it, so at this point she is mostly jamming it.

[@sabina1118]

I love it..!

[@Doppeldropper]

...."Wake me up" and "Salt" are definitely worth checking out from her songs 🤗

[@MrRagman68]

There are songs that can tell a story and take you away into a dream and you feel the story, this song is one of them. Thanks for sharing this

[@steinarthomassen3251]

You have to hear Eivør sing «Falling free»..👌😊

[@ronjoanne5980]

Totally agree, Sabina. I don't know what we just watched, but it was totally captivating and extraordinary!!! Chills, goosebumps, and pure joy. Thanks for sharing this amazing performance. Hope you do more from her/them. Stay safe.

[@sabina1118]

It sure was!! 😍 My great pleasure...!

[@John-gv2ug]

A very honest, thoughtful reaction Sabina. Eivor's addition is throat singing (Inuit and Mongolian) not beatbox. For a couple of brilliant young singers, take a look at Lucy Thomas, 17, from the UK ( fantastic covers and some celestial duets with her younger sister Martha) and Emily Linge, 12 (a Norwegian father, British mother, born and living in Dubai). In one of Emily's clips, Brian May from Queen accompanies her via Skype on "Love Of My Life", so that speaks volumes for Emily's talent and the quality of Brian May as a person. You probably already know them, but a reaction to First Aid Kit would also be good. Also Aurora from the Nidarosdomen ("Through The Eyes Of A Child") and HAIK ("Daydreamer") concerts.

[@SonoftheTRINITY]

That is a beautiful scene and the simple singing and beat just is priceless,awesome 😊😊🥰

[@sabina1118]

Yes right!? 😍

[@eirintowne]

The first reaction I have seen that recognized the Midsummer wreath in Eivör's hair, tusen takk!

What an amazing perfoermance in an extraordinary place! I fully agree to all of your subtitle words dear Sabina ❤️ It's kind of amazing, that there is electricity available ;) Imagine, taking a walk after such a concert in that nature... hugs to you :)

Thanks 😍🤗 Yes, that must be amazing...

[@fearmac]

Truly amazing!! Her vocal gymnastics were incredible. Thanks Sabina for this. 👍

[@Coby-Fajalobi]

Beautiful song one of my favorite also i like the songs Gullspunnin and Tokuni ......... well actually everything I have heard from them is good hahaha . Greets en love from the Netherlands

[@sistersurprise120]

great musical performance in a fantastic setting !!!!

[@WhiteTiger333]

It's been over a year since you posted this, so surely, by now, others have let you know that she was throat singing in the "unusual" bits. Traditional for her heritage. She has described how, if one knows how to properly throat sing, it is not hard on the vocal chords. I have no clue about it, so I totally trust her on this. :) I love your analysis of this music and have just hit subscribe. (I just now saw this video on my recommendations). Also, NRK are masters at filming productions, so the World Heritage Site in Norway where this concert happened was so beautifully enhanced by the production, imo.

[@spencerbutterbaugh6104]

Listen to anything Eivor does and you will be amazed Again and again.

[@Asmodeus66688]

This is the third time I have watched this in two days ... magical

[@sabina1118]

It is ✨✨✨😻😻

[@erikturner3180]

I'm a bit late to the party but I'd like to recommend Goaskinviellja / Eagle Brother by Mari Boine. She is Sámi (northern Norway) and combines ancient and modern styles of music. There are two great versions on the song that I like. First is the more primal version where she's performing in the Dolomites. The second one is her performance at the Oslo Opera House in 2009.

[@BUKCOLLECTOR]

The following 4 live KZbin performances are my favorites. The first 3 are from her small island , the last from Denmark” May It Be “Lord Of The Rings” in front of thousands with full orchestra performing for the Queen Of Denmark. At the end the Queen and her ensemble do something. I won’t spoil. Al “falling free” ( the one that’s ‪6:47)‬ “ Wake Me Up” ( ‪7:11‬) “Sofar True Love” “verd min”( ‪4:41‬ duration ) “May It Be “ All love, Al

A true one of a kind, she is just fantastic.

[@sabina1118]

[@RobertDeMartin]

Sabina, I received your notification and stopped by to take a look. Oh, no Angelina? But, I was intrigued by the way you started talking about this video, So, I figured I'll give it a listen. Sabina, this was incredible! I'm so glad I hung in there. Petty good acoustics, eh? Nothing like mountain valleys to echo her voice and the drums. I'll bet every animal within 10 miles stopped in their tracks to listen to this. I'm ready to get a one way ticket and head to this place wherever it is. Do you know where this is? Wow! All I need is some yellow pads and a box of ballpoint pens and I will write, and write, and write till my fingers hurt.

[@willasacco9898]

It is in Norway, I have been informed by knowledgeable commenters. Other experts state that the angelic echo was added in post-production. She does that on most of her videos, but her voice would be mind-blowingly other-worldly and angelicly beautiful without it.

[@RobertDeMartin]

@@willasacco9898 Thanks, Willa. How could I have ever known that Angelina Jordan would have had something to do with this (Norway).:):) Willa, but like you said, if that is true the sound would still be incredible. And Norway is one beautiful place.

Your reactions, very tasteful, well done! Heilung, In maidjan, LIFA(live), wardruna and aurora helvegen (live), these will definitely bring out your viking

[@tmsvanes]

Great reaction to a great artist. I think you would also like Wardruna ft. Aurora performing Helvegen live in Bergen. It will certainly call for the Viking in you!!!

[@susansisson366]

She is singing in Faroese, which is from the Faroe Islands, and most closely resembles the ancient Norwegian that was spoken by the Vikings. She is married now, lives in Copenhagen, but she is a force of nature, isn't she? In between the verses she did a bridge that was described by someone from the islands described as "Foroen Throat Singing." Unbelievable. She sings all the music used by the outstanding series called "The Last Kingdom." Highly recommended!

[@larryc3860]

if you were there you had a "Woodstock" experience........how many 1,000s told their kids "I was there!"....her beautiful, mystical voice echos through the valley and fjord, riding the air.....there are lyrics, in Faroese

[@maritapia7558]

👏👏 excellent Eivor love her voice, please reacts to Wardruna, Skald, Faun =)

[@andyschnell58]

Sabina I am not familiar with this artist so here I am. Traditional Scandinavian music has become very popular and this artist certainly fits in that category. I enjoyed this performance very much. I greatly look forward to your next Angelina Jordan reaction. She just released her new single, 7th Heaven, a upbeat jazzy tune with a highly inspiring message. The vocal coach, Ceci Dover, recently reacted to "I'm Still Holding Out for You" and was angry at the angels for taking so long to request she react to that performance. Please consider reacting to that as well. Tusand takk Sabina.

[@crhu319]

Haha I love Ceci. Her reaction to Pisces is delightful & funny.

I swear, every time, *every* time I've watched that video, I feel like I would not be surprised to see a dragon fly past in the sky or surface from the water in the nature panoramas. As if they and the Other Folk are there, just out of sight off camera.

[@crhu319]

Shamanic music "can't be copied" because songs are intended to be personal. They evolve over time with their singer and no one tries to copy that singer exactly. Jeremy Dutcher explains how songs evolve in indigenous North American culture and it's more or less the same in all shamanic musical tradition.

[@theamfoldvik279]

Yes this is our viking roots Dear !!! Knusser !!

[@C64SX]

Couldn't agree more about using at least a decent audio setup when evaluating music. So many nuances are lost when listening through a mobile or computer speaker, or even regular bluetooth speakers. The artist spent a whole lot of time and effort (and money) to get it to sound just right, so they deserve to be heard in the same way.

[@monikadeinbeck4760]

The song describes the feeling you have when it is sung "Spellbound I am. A magic bard took me captive," "Spellbound deep in my soul. My heart burns with blazing flame." "Spellbound I am, A magic bard took me captive" "Spellbound in the midst of my heart" "My eyes are still fixed to where the charmsinger stood".

You're face was a picture. 🌼🌺🌼 ... yes its totally magical shes from the Faroe Islands but shes an expert in North European folk music.. she used some techniques used by Unuit peoples. The visuals and sound quality was curtisy of Norwegian TV.. Heres a thought .... You know the Russian teen Diana Ankudinova ...a princess of goosebumps herself ... imagine if Eivór was able to invite her to a festival or concert and then mentor her for a while.... imagine what those two might be able to come up with.. Eivór is also very diverse in her sounds and styles. The other that often gets recommended she sounds uncannily like Kate Bush at her best. She can also Rock and mix it with the viking drama style.
