VÉVAKI - Gestaþáttr (Official Lyric Video)

[@seasonofmist]

VÉVAKI comment on the song: “Gestaþáttr is the first part of the poem Hávamál (the sayings of Hár) which covers how to be a good guest and a good host, as well as containing many other mysterious verses of gnomic wisdom. Since this song is based in Eddic poetry, we decided to do a lyric video so you could see the old Icelandic and English translations side by side.”

[@bw-mx1dy]

and what? We need to know!!!

[@lor-granpab8159]

The lyrics along with the translation is exactly that people learning the old language long for.. can't say "thank you" enough.

[@genz0r]

Would love to know the name of the background runic symbol so i can search what it represents and so ! Its just beautiful, as the song . Loved it .

[@plupkination]

Interesting. However it seems that in the way it is presented, it is more like a musical edict for a society preparing for war.

[@NPC-ej4ql]

Wardruna can't be praised often enough not only for their monumental music but also for the fact they've opened the gates for this genre and its artists to get the deserved recognition. Can't wait for this album.

[@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger]

Wardruna and Heilung are the BIG 2. Danheim is a close 3rd IMHO. But there are over 100 artists/groups doing Nordic/Germanic Neo-folk that are right up there with the best of them. Forndom is another. Runfell. Nemuer. The list goes on and on. Gealdyr. Myrkur. Eivor. Kati Ran. Herknungr....

[@TheSkilfingar]

@@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger Wardruna are the best, then comes Gealdyr.

[@revrendsunshine]

My Favorite is that this has been born directly out of Black Metal. Wardruna, Myrkur, Heilung, and even the Seasons of Mist record label are all very well known for their Black Metal contributions. This feels like the natural progression of that early anger! From the ashes of the burning churches rises the new northern heathen! P.S. Nytt Land and Skald as 2 more great top tier groups in this genre!

[@TheSkilfingar]

@@revrendsunshine Your image of black metal might be wrong.

[@Thekoryosmenstribepodcast]

@@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger yes. Those are best

[@khalidtolba4608]

This Folk nordic music is out of this world. Beautiful. Some thing like Wardruna. Hail Odin

[@XTraqd]

Very deep and tense. I love the sombre tone of the Havamal verses with this. It paints a sinister and distrusting atmosphere.

[@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger]

But Odinn was never "sinister and distrusting,"...or was he?!?!...let's find out!

[@jkr3008]

Love the distinctive tragic vibe in it It's so powerful yet delicate, so impressive

[@jormunganir3517]

I am mesmerized. Men do not know beauty until they see/hear it. I think I've gotten to know beauty through this song. Absolutely speechless. Just wow.

[@JeanyMorel]

[@SeaWitchinSeattle]

I feel like I should take a drive to some nearby mountains blasting this. In fact, okay. I'm going now!

[@Runic-Raven]

Looks like Season of Mist has all the Bands i need.

[@r.c.kozletsky3313]

I wish to one day achieve this level of prowess and conviction with my music someday. Absolutely beautiful

[@TheSLK66]

This is so so good. Love the melody, the lyrics and the voice.

Not commenting anything of importance, just commenting so the algorithm sees this has a lot of traction and boosts it for more people to see.

🎶 Paroles en francais 🎶 Épisode invité Portails tous Avant de procéder A propos est considéré Pour des raisons évidentes Parce qu'il est incertain de savoir Où les ennemis se cachent Donateurs entiers Un invité est entré Où s'asseoir voir? Très aigu Il est sur le point Doit prendre soin des tentations de la renommée Un feu est nécessaire Ils sont entrés Et à genoux Nourriture et malheur Si tu as besoin A ceux qui ont fait le tour de la montagne La sagesse est nécessaire Ils sont largement disponibles C'est pompé à la maison quoi Dans un instant il y aura Il ne sait pas Et avec snotrum est assis Portails tous Avant de procéder A propos est considéré Pour des raisons évidentes Parce qu'il est incertain de savoir Où les ennemis se cachent Donateurs entiers Un invité est entré Où s'asseoir voir? Très aigu Il est sur le point Doit prendre soin des tentations de la renommée

People should stop translating everything they don't understand instead of appreciating the original.

[@genz0r]

some candid soul to tell me what is the name of the runic symbol in the background? I think it is beautiful and I would like to know what it represents! Thanks in advance 💙

[@SigurboiGretarsson]

This is essentially a bind rune containing the initials of each band member. The runes are not typical though. They are found in the book Galdraskræða (sorcerer’s screed) a compilation of old Icelandic magical staves written down and published in the 1940’s by a man named Jochum Magnús Eggertsson aka Skuggi (shadow).

[@genz0r]

@@SigurboiGretarsson thank u very much for all the info mate , im gonna search more info about all that . 🙏💙

[@jaimeXDgo]

I don't know if it was on purpose, but that runic thing in the middle of the video looks like a lizard. Pretty cool.

[@davidcalvert8860]

Looks a bit like Icelandic galore staves

What does the word "Gestaþáttr" actually mean? Google translate says "guest episode"

[@silverlady6126]

Great song! But the English translation definitely doesn't have the same power, especially the part about frigid knees, LOL
