TYR - Sinklars Visa

shop.napalmreco...
Viking Metal has come over the land! Impressively combining powerful choruses and energetic guitar work with the traditional folk melodies of their ancestors, TYR has composed a collection of hymns bound to
shake the foundations of Midgard. TYR's latest CD "Land" is undoubtedly
an album that will assure their entry into Valhalla and "Sinklars Visa" is a video worth experiencing!

[@Mithiras]

I love how their voices are perfectly harmonized with each other's

[@metalheadfanatica5748]

One of my brother's favorite songs. He shared it with me before he was deployed many years ago and I've loved it ever since. He never came home, but this song helps me remember him and all the great memories we have. I can never thank TYR enough. RIP, Jamie. We love and miss you, xo.

[@metalheadfanatica5748]

something like this: Lord Sinclair crossed the salty sea, to Norway his course was set. among Gudbrand's cliffs he found his grave, where a bloody brow awaited. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. By Romsdal's coast he came ashore, declared himself an enemy, followed by fourteen hundred men all with evil intent. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. They pillaged and burned wherever they came, all rights they trampled. the frailty of age, it moved them not, they scorned the weeping widow. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. The child was slain in its mother's lap, (womb/flesh) no matter how sweetly it smiled. but tidings of this sorrow and woe to the heart of the nation travelled. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. The beacon flared and the messenger ran, from each neighbour to the next, the sons of the dale sought not to hide as Lord Sinclair must avow. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. The farmers of Våge, Lesje and Lom, with sharpened axes shouldered, got together in the broad village with the Scot, they wanted to talk. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. Forward, farmers! Norwegian men, Advance! strike down, strike down and slaughter them! then longed the Scot for home again, his lust for battle gone. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath. No living soul came home again, to tell his countrymen, how perilous it is to visit them who dwell among Norway's hills. Up before the break of day, They'’re coming across the heath Vis mindre

[@thesm1l3y]

@@sambagger8872 I found "Indestructible" by Disturbed amazing, just through the energy it gives me. Also there are 3 songs by Chimaira that are in this order on an album "Power Trip" "Down again" and "Pure Hatred". "Power Trip" is a giant middle finger to people that bring you down, the refrain of "Down again" is "I'm down again/my life is not over" and in "Pure Hatred" it's a few particular lines "You have to pick and choose your fights/You have the come out of this alive". Those 3 songs listened in direct succession helped me a lot. And for the more melancholic but not really depressed moments I found almost anything by In Flames really fitting because many songs encapsulate the feeling of going through harsh times but coming out on the other side nevertheless. I hope you find something to carry you through whatever it is you are dealing with. Stay strong \m/

Woe to any Norwegian unmoved, each time his eyes behold it. - Up before the break of day, they’re coming across the heath. -

Zinklars Vise is a norwegian folk song written by Edvard Storm in 1781, but in a time when Norway was under danish rule and everyone who knew how to to write and read, had learned it in danish. Edit: Basically a norwegian song written in danish sung with faroese pronounciation.

[@j.t1984]

It's you not being capable of understandning ''older languge''. It's not very hard at all - the original text should be readable to any norwegian also nowadays.

[@mosetussa]

Since this is a Norwegian song written in Danish (there was no written Norwegian at the time), I think it makes perfect sense to sing it in Danish with a heavy Faeroese accent. After all, modern Norwegian is basically Danish with heavy accents from various western Norse dialects. Of course, people from Vågå, Lesja or Lom would sing this differently. But who cares, it's a great song sung in a way that is easy to understand.

As I guess the language debate rages on, I just add this info: The "Sinklars Vise" was written by the Norwegian Edvard Storm in 1781. The written language in Norway at that time was more or less Danish. Tyr here sings in the original language, which is old Norwegian, NOT contemporary Fareose language.

[@Ramski1]

Its more similar to norwegian, then danish. No wonder its a norwegian song about slaget ved kringen.

[@daginn896]

@@MDCCLXXVI1990 Belong to Denmark? It is a bit more complicated than that. The Kalmar Union was initially a union on equal terms. It was made by a Danish princess, then a queen married to the Norwegian king. It was made after the Norwegian king died and as a mean to contain the Hanseatic pressure upon the Scandinavian countries. It was intended to be ruled by their son, Olaf (heir of Norway). However, he died (and thus the complete Norwegian royal line), and Margrete became the ruler of the union. Before she died she handed the crown over to a distant relative in Germany. He settled in Denmark, closer to his home. And thus Denmark became the center of the union. In time, Norway became a "province", yet not Danes. The identity, spoken language etc. still was upheld. That is why the poem also speak of "Norway" and not "Denmark", and "Norwegians" and not "Danes".

[@jzero4813]

I'm always amazed at the Faroese... fiercely proud of Føroyskt, and keeping it alive, but at the same time being chained to Danish, but in a weird way that makes it too weird for the Danes to think of as anything but weird Norwegian, and to weird for Norwegians to think of as anything but some kind of kindred but odd Danish. Let's really be honest - Gøtudanskt is probaby better called Føronorsk than anything Danish. So Faroese end up speaking two completely different languages that nobody really "gets" other than Faroese. Strange. Not many places have two native languages.

[@MDCCLXXVI1990]

I'm half Danish and half Swedish and Faroese language makes more sense to me then Gøtudansk. Faroese is my favorite language 😊

@@user-nr2kb3mw8i gøtudanskt means street - danish. So like the local danish. Its basicly danish words pronounced like faroese.

@@idealaccent5110 Okay so if they are just speaking Danish with their Faroe accent is it really that hard to understand? Kind of like the scottish accent when speaking english can be hard to understand?

I've been in Faer Oer islands a couple of years ago, and my heart is still there.

Faroe Islands in English,- Føroya in Faroese.

When reading the lyrics i understand almost every word, and i'm danish. We might never stop arguing about the language in this song, but we can agree on one thing. We do cherish our blond haired girls!

Tyr is a faroese band...

[@keith221191]

True but in this song they sing using Gøtudanskt.

And I thought German is hard ...

This is written danish pronounced/talked in Faroese. If you learn Norwegian you will understand what they are saying and Norwegian is considered one of the easiest languages to learn for ab person speaking english. This of course counts if you speak English,but its not your mother tongue. Soooo its not very hard. German is regarded as harder.

[@VanTemplar]

I always wanted to learn Norwegian, but thought it's too hard! I might reconsider, thanks a lot man!

[@Twiggyay]

Van Steel Norwegian reporting in. It's not hard at all. Both English and Norwegian are Germanic languages. The Norwegian word for "come" is "kom" and is pronounced almost exactly the same. "here" is "her" (rolling r of course) in Norwegian and is pronounced the same, except the "EE" vowel in the english variant is pronounced like the vowel in "sad". You can now say "come here" in Norwegian. Kom her!

[@VanTemplar]

Twiggyay Thanks for the lesson, man! I love this language!

[@Poodleinacan]

For the "r" rolling and vowels, I think french is closer than english to the language.

[@Ravie3]

This is the first Tyr song I ever listened to.

True and awesome viking metal!
