TÝR - Ragnars Kvæði (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Order at: www.metalblade.com/tyr
TÝR "Ragnars Kvæði" from the "Hel" album.
"Ragnars Kvæði is a traditional Faroese ballad about Ragnar Loðbrók, the legendary king of Denmark during the seventh century. This melody was preserved on a very old recording in the Faroese from sometime around the middle of the 1900s, and the text in some Faroese manuscripts from the mid 1800s. The original ballad is very long, over 100 verses. Here we have only three verses, taken from the part about where Ragnar meets Aslaug. This part is a migratory legend with parallels in many cultures around the world. I thought this ballad was really worth something, so my first thought was to make a Heavy Metal version of it for Týr. Terji plays the solo on the album version, but Attila made a new solo for this version, since he would be playing in the video, and well done indeed! Thanks to all who participated in the hard work of making this video. We hope you enjoy it!" - Heri Joensen
"This video's story is based on an ancient ballad: two souls are looking for each other through time and space; they are summoning each other in their dreams, reading the signs to finally meet - no matter when and where they were before. The story was shot in Transylvania, Romania, and Hungary, and every place we visited gave us hard circumstances and surprising solutions at the same time, so it was a true adventure.
"Since the weather changes really fast in Transylvania, planning ahead was not an option sometimes; we had to improvise quite often. Our half-naked actors showed true grit; the temperature was around -6 °C (around 22 °F) during the snowy scenes. The band parts were shot also in Slovenia (along with the video for "Sunset Shore") and that trip was also a huge challenge but the band members were absolutely tough, and we climbed together the highest hills with full equipment in our hands and on our backs. We all agreed that exceptional things are born this way, so putting 120% effort into it wasn't a problem for anybody." - Viktor / Mihaszna Film

Only problem is she is a troll, que song "Herr Mannerling" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Mephilis78]

@@christianfreedom-seeker934 The way I see Herr Mannerling is that the idiotic Christian simply insults a decent pagan woman by calling her a troll. The key is that the man starts by saying she isn't a Christian woman. A song made by Christians to demean and dehumanize the true Europeans.

Sometimes... we don't have to understand a single word. The beauty of this language and of your music is just saying everything by itself.

Sometimes the only language you need is music by itself. It's a universal beauty afterall that helps us connect with one another.

Tyr and thei beautiful music inspired me to learn Faroese langauge

[@bengagnon2894]

At this point, you're better off learning íslenska. At least, more people are speaking it. ;) And from what I've red, it's a tiny bit closer to what proto-germanic really sounded like. But hey! Respect to the people of the Faroes Islands for sill speaking their native language, against all odds. One would thinks that they would all speak dansk by now. Still, I, myself, am trying to learn norsk and svenska instead of íslenska, because I'm a lazy ass and I can't for the life of me pronounce this damn letter correctly : ð. Hm, all jokes aside... From someone whose mother tongue is not english, it's quite difficult. Norsk and svenska have a more latin-based sound to them, almost spanish-like (they even have some french vocabulary). Which, for me, makes it's way easier. I'm planning to learn íslenska someday... Just for fun. When I'll have some time to kill. Quite a lot of time...

[@USMCBombShell]

Love it! I commend you on the delivery of this song. Those of us who don't speak our ancestor's native tongue because we have been dispersed through out the world do not get lost in grasping the meaning and understanding of this song. So many times in music today you lose the meaning of a song in the music video. You not only follow through but paint the picture for those of us who are ignorant when it comes to the language. I also very much enjoyed the video Heri did on his own channel about this. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make sure we grasp the intensity of this song. May the gods forever smile upon you. Blessings brothers.
