Ваш текст с вашего же сайта:(для иноземцев) Lyrics In the arms of Mara White winter came without asking Severe she came, covered all around with silver snow Turned to ice my soul and my heart Chained the river with the frozen tears. White winter brought ill thoughts. Sun hid, there's a full moon in the sky. In the twilight I wonder, hear death creeps silently Snowy tempest whistles and revolves rapidly. Relentless winter housed coldness in the heart Cold she came, without asking Brought sorrow, took all my force away White winter. Snowy fir trees shake in wind, And fierce winter in the heart doesn't come to end. Blizzard knocked to the window unexpectedly Cruel winter. And I can't sleep, blizzard charmed the soul. Winter took away the beloved friend. Evil winter's sorcery ruined my soul, Cruel winter took me in the Mara's arms.

I've recently ordered all of their CD's .(Via their homepage) Can't wait to watch them live in Hamburg, Germany!

[@mikeg.4211]

Nice, Peter! I think they are planning a streaming show of a concert taking place on October 22, 2021. Keep an eye out on their webpage for tickets. You might also want to check out their channel on www.patreon.com

I ran into this band last november by accident and this song is EASILY the best new song for me in 2020🤘.. I must have listen this hundreds of times already😅. Thanks for sharing👍, and perhaps now (thanks to your channel) someone will have the same feeling with hearing this the very first time like I had few months ago😅 Greetings from Finland😊

I've never even heard of Grai, but I really enjoyed this song and this video! The instrument looked like a recorder but sounded better than any recorder I have ever heard. Someone with better musical knowledge can answer this one for you! Thank you sharing your love of music with us, thank you for International Monday, and please don't forget Canada is a foreign country too, with plenty of great great music waiting for your reactions!!

[@danasfaith5738]

Thank you Key Mack for giving Grai a shot! We too found their voices so beautiful, nice use of violin and her recorder ! We really liked them. They were different, but in a good way! LOL! BTW, don't tell anyone but our dad mentioned Rush soon! : )

[@keymack2477]

@@danasfaith5738 Thank you for your reply - I feel like I am talking to Superstars! Rush is great, I would recommend "Closer To The Heart", but of course it is up to you! Many more great bands up here too, but for now I will ask if you could imagine a group of five artists singing and playing a song using just one guitar as the only instrument? How about if all five of them are playing one guitar at THE SAME TIME? A Canadian band called Walk Off The Earth does this when they cover Gotye's song, "Somebody I Used To Know". Try it some day and try to not be super impressed! Keep up the great work!

All I can say is.....WOW! I loved everything about this band. Like most who commented, I have never heard of them and now I want to search for more of their music. Thank you for another great video reaction. I can see the passion growing in the two of you for the variety of music and groups you have been introduced to over the months. Isn't it awesome? The different sounds and feelings for music is priceless. Each time I watch the two of you, I can see your love for music...just like me. A big thank you once again to your dad for this one. Excited for what is next! Take care girls and stay safe! Love and Blessings to all! 💖

[@danasfaith5738]

Aww! Thank you Suzy! It is pleasing to our ears when we listen to new bands, songs and/or genres! We are stunned at how music is so fulfilling ! We love how great music grabs you and it doesn't let you go! That is what our dad wants us to learn. He wants us to listen to the music and accept what it offers because music just like love has no boundaries! I am sure if that makes sense, but when we listen to all of these songs, we see and hear how diverse music is and how it all has a message and reason for being. LOL! Hopefully that makes sense but Mia and I really appreciate being able to listen to all types of music! LOL! : )

[@suzycanusazep-girl6845]

@@danasfaith5738 yes, I do understand. I could not have said it better myself. I agree 100% with you. That is why I just love watching you and Mia react to all the bands and music.

[@mindtraveller100]

As someone who´s been listening to Metal for more than 20 years, and loves Folk Metal, i remember having heard one or two songs from Grai a few years ago, and although i liked it, i did not kept following the band, there are so many bands to follow and so litle time... :( Today, after seeing this reaction of yours, i have to say that because of your reaction video, i will start to follow Grai from now on. Thank you. Also, welcome to the wonderful world of Folk Metal. You will truly be amazed by it. My next and biggest suggestion is the Swiss band Eluveitie. They´re awesome. p.s.: Mia, the instrument you´re talking about is also a flute. There´s several types of flutes.

I felt like this song left me with a medieval times vibe going on. Even if I wouldn't have seen the video and only heard the song I would have had the same reaction.

[@mickeyhank]

Great reaction gals! I love when you present the images and scenes that the music conjures up for you. Here, Mia mentioning a bamboo forest with pandas all around. That is great stuff! Never be ashamed of what your imagination produces. And I would love to know what these lyrics are about. Maybe a Russian speaker will inform us. It was a hypnotic song. Seems like some sort of journey or quest. Thanks, as always!

[@chupasaurus]

My on-the-spot English translation of lyrics: The white winter Oy, has come without asking, The fierce one has come, Sheltered with a silver of snow, Turned my soul and heart into an ice, Covered a river by the frozen tears. The white winter Had brought unkind thoughts, Sun have been hiding away and it's a full moon in the sky, I roam in the twilight and hear the death creeping quietly, While a blizzard whistles and circles hardly. The fierce winter Have put a cold into my heart. The cold one has come, Oy, has come without asking, Brought the sadness, Took all the strength, The white winter. Snowy spruces Sway in the wind And the fierce winter Hasn't ended in the heart. With a snowstorm in the window Knocked suddenly The fierce winter. Oy I can not sleep, Cold has filled the soul. The winter has taken with herself A dear friend, Winter's evil children [sic] killed the soul, The fierce winter has taken into the arms of Mara.

[@wernerharms4833]

This song makes me feel happy-sad. Why? This is what I have found in Musta Laatta's comment on an other reaction to this song "White winter, came without asking, Came fierce, covered with snow's silver . Turned my soul and my heart into ice, Covered the river with frozen tears. White winter brought wicked thoughts. The sun hid and there is a full moon in the sky. In twilight wandering, I hear death sneaking quietly. The snowstorm is still whistling and circles dashingly. Fierce winter settled coldness in a heart. Came cold, yet came without asking. Brought loneliness, took all my strength White winter. Snowy firs swaying in the wind, Yet fierce winter doesn't end in heart. Knocked on the window with a blizzard Fierce winter. Oh, I can't sleep, the blizzard filled my soul. The winter led a dear friend away. Winters wicked spells ruined a soul, Fierce winter took in Mara's embrace." Mara is the pagan goddess of Winter=Death. She misleads the man until he dies by the cold. Putting her hands on his face she takes his soul away, he disappears.

Hi girls, this was a wild video but if you want to see a GREAT video that will leave you saying "how did he do that?" and a little closer to home you should react to Stevie Ray Vaughan and the video "Look at Little Sister" where he breaks a string and it was changed LIVE and also "Voodoo Child", he was the GOAT.
