Týr - "Evening Star"

[@warforge_jp]

this song is pure medicine for the soul

[@Tyrband]

Oh, we like to hear that :)

[@evanholmes2369]

Yes!

[@SpoonySamurai]

Yeah it's definitely one of my favorite songs especially as a drummer.

[@carlabraz534]

One of my absolute favourites, this song really touches on my emotions.

[@Tyrband]

Thank you, we're happy you say that!

[@rudolfhess3153]

@@Tyrband A quick question. Why have you not released or re-released more of your albums on vinyl? I know that I'd absolutely buy "By the light of the northern star" on vinyl. The market is there for it, since interest in vinyl today is the same as it was 29 years ago. Is there any reason why you have not?

[@kurtoogle4576]

I was just going to say the same thing. It keeps getting stuck in my head!

[@luisalexander_fg]

LYRICS: Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers run I'm swept away down distant paths, the road goes on From the halls of the free to the tower of torment Where treasures lie in mountains high The silent fields of stars so far and wide The oceans of infinity, the great divide In the heavens on high is a light so lonely The evening star that shines so far When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered The evening star has shone thus far River rushing, waters wide, just north of there Oh would that I was home again and home was here And the fire was warm and the wind would whisper You're home again, on roofs the rain When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered The evening star has shone thus far When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered The evening star to me you are.

My ex and I really loved this song. It was "our" song... He passed away last year and listening to this brings back a lot of happy memories. Thank you for existing 💛

[@Tyrband]

We are very sorry for your loss! It is good to have music to keep the memories in and we are happy that this is your song. - Heri

Oh, my, I´m so sorry for your loss. I do understand. He´s with your every time you listen to this song. Thanks for sharing your feelings...

[@g.d.graham2446]

Wow that's so sad 😢. I wish you well.

[@oldratgod8473]

This was the only song I listened to on repeat while I was homeless... It really got me through the toughest period of my life. I ended up getting the chorus tattood on my wrist+forearm in runic. Thanks for this, much love

[@Tyrband]

Stay strong and move forward! Good luck to you!

Amazing band, respect from Poland. 🇵🇱🤘🇫🇴

[@Tyrband]

Thank you, Poland!

[@ElAsopaoDigitalConGury]

Great song. It’s a shame that it was not part of the symphony concert. Yet, one of the best songs of the album.

[@Tyrband]

Thank you. We could only play very few songs.

[@Geister7]

I was thinking the same thing, I hope they can play with them again and include this song, it really deserves that treatment

[@Zoltoks]

My favorite song from Tyr and the one that keeps me coming back. Love this song and how it makes me feel when journeying deep into the wilderness. Keeps you pushing through even when everything is going to crap.

[@Tyrband]

That's the spirit. Don't let shit get you down 🤘🏻😎🖤🎵🎶

[@jakub057]

Viking folk metal from finland, sweden and faroe island is the best and powerful 🤘🤘👍best song from TYR🙏

[@precesco]

Haven't listened to this masterpiece for years... Woke up this morning to the chorus melody stuck in my head!!! Absolutely great song!!!

[@astrid6645]

This band is too underrated and that fact irritates me...But Tyr thank you for being the best bend to me 🖤 Love and respect from Serbia 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

[@andreapecoraro6972]

Excellent song, which completely meets my taste. Go on like this forever, and thanks for sharing. . .

One of the songs that makes you miss a place and time that no longer exist

[@ironhell808]

Try watching the thing, or going far up north and tell me it does not...

at the latest if the drums set in in the chorus ... goose bumps everywhere. keep in writing guys. - Greetings from Hamburg!

Thank you!

[@Naileira]

This is one of my favourites of all times. When my grandpa died six years ago, I sang a lot the verses "I´ll keep your memory in my mind / one day I´ll repay in kind" to his memory. Thank you so much for your music. You´re so inspiring, melodious and great. Gracias, amigos!

My buddy just showed this to me since I've been jamming you guys for a while now but hadn't heard this song, and I have never fallen in love with a song so quickly, I know people are like "this song means so much" but to me this is one of the greatest nordic themed metal songs ever made and I have heard it once now. You guys are amazing and inspire me every time I listen to you.

[@Tyrband]

Thank you for your very kind comment, and best wishes to you.

This has always been one of my favorite songs by your band. In November my father got ill unexpectedly and I had to fly home to see him in his final days and take care of him. As I walked into our family home after his death this song came into my mind. Thank you. I think of him often and my loved ones when I hear this. Years ago I got to see you in Cleveland Ohio and I'm so happy I got to hear your music live. You have a fan and follower for life.

[@exodia_apophis4133]

If there will ever be a remaster of this Album; a Faroese (or Danish) version of this song should be made. I don't know if it's possible; but it would be a decent experiment when rehashing older songs (Like God of War, Hail to the Hammer, and By the Sword in my Hand) into the native faroese/Danish languages

[@Tyrband]

In time, anything could happen :)

[@exodia_apophis4133]

@@Tyrband Exactly. I know you guys pulled off some good bonus tracks beforehand. So I think the band can pull something off like this

[@Geister7]

I was thinking the same thing, it would be interesting to hear some albums with flipped languages, like hear the English songs in Faroese and vice versa

[@scott599]

To be a man that is gone. Making money far from home. Having the ones you love far away. Wishing for the rain. Having my house smell of burning wood and cooking meat." When home is far behind. And ever the long roads wind. I keep her memory in my mind. One day I'll repay in kind." Anybody understand what that feels like to be gone and promise that the emotion I feel when you are on the road is reciprocated? Everytime, And I mean everytime this song comes on... I think of home...and my son. The bed I share with my wife, and of course the woman that said she would help me destroy the world.... She is my Sif and I protect her like Midgard.

Yes. They speak for themselves. Literally, when home is far behind and ever the long roads winds, I'll keep your memory in my mind. He/ the singer in s talking to the people he left back home to go make money in a foreign land. He is dreaming of home every time he looks at the stars.

No, it's the same as the album version. But, tomorrow I'm making another video public, on my own channel, about how to play this song. I always feel a bit bad for sending people off our platforms to listen to our songs, so I uploaded the full song here so I can refer to it directly from my own channel.
