LYRICS:
Valhalla Calling Gavin Dunne 2020
Ships on vigor of the waves are skimming
Barren summits to the verdant plains
Each horizon is a new beginning
Rise and reign
Far from the fjords and the ice cold currents
Ravens soar over new frontiers
Songs and sagas of a fate determined
Shields and spears
Vows of favour or the thrill of plunder
Pull together for the clan and kin
Clank of hammers and the crash of thunder
Pound within
Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me
Sails a' swaying on the crimson rivers
Blood and glory in the fighting fields
Shields a' shatter into splintered timbers
Iron and steel
Fires are rising and the bells are ringing
Glory take us into Odin's halls
Golden glimmer and the sound of singing
Asgard's call
Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me
Wind and the waves will carry me
Wind and the waves will set me free
Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me

A lot of people don't realize that I wrote & produced the duet version, played all the instruments on it & sang the majority of the vocals. I think due to Peyton Parrish not including my video footage in the music video on his KZbin channel (he only included the visuals of himself), people get confused and think it was all him. So, due to it being mostly my work in the first place, there isn't a huge difference in overall sound here but there is a somewhat different feel to the song's mood with just my voice alone. After the events of the last year, I personally prefer it this way and I know a lot of fans will too, as you were the ones who requested this. This version also lets me actually enjoy the song myself. Enjoy! Big luv ❤🤘 Gav

[@JMulls]

Thanks for reading my mind Gav, appreciate it! 😎🎶🎶🎶

[@csernobillahun]

That is almost everyone here

[@LuckyR4v3n]

Thank you, you are the only true owner of this song! ❤ I think that version is more aggressive, kicks harder. It's awesome🤘

I like it a lot!! It's even stronger than before. Go Gav!!

[@Inu-Yasha]

и это очень аутентично. именно такая версия мне нравится больше всего!

Are we sure Gav isn’t just a thawed out Viking that learned heavy metal?

Oh heck yeah! All hail the king of the north!

Well, my family all come from Waterford which is the biggest Viking settlement in Ireland. So you never know!

[@lachlanpike5469]

Considering your Irish bloodline. Definitely a decent of the Vikings of old my I suggest opening a Viking-style bar

[@MadDadLad]

Proud of you, Gav bud, for making a stand and not letting your work get taken from you without a fight!👏🤜🤛🇮🇪

[@GaisaSanktejo]

Too damned right!!!

[@ianbarrow4087]

definitely agree

[@n.maximo5505]

This is honestly better than the version WITH Payton Parish. Never liked his voice anyway.

[@Nyx_2142]

@@n.maximo5505 Because Peyton tries too hard and it shows. Also, the Pop-Viking/Nordic/Pagan shit is kinda weird, especially from someone that is very publicly a devout Christian and plays pretend Viking only for the money.

[@TyCollage]

​@@Nyx_2142 Thank God I'm not the only one who felt that way about the overly dramatic way he performs the piece. There's a vid with @thatbass, Gav & Parish, the other two guys play it relatively straight, stoic, they let their voice do the work....Peyton to the far right like a Power Ranger preparing to launch the Megazord. As far as the Christian thing goes, I don't know his personal life but most influencers who openly profess and still perform everything without a clear line in the same usually call themselves Christians for a larger demographic. It's just popular to say, then the next steps going to be a tolerant neutral stance on trending issues. Etc etc.

[@jeffreylondynsky7030]

I am an old sea captain, married to a lovely Norwegian lady for over 35 years. We both love this song, and this version is truly outstanding!

[@fearling]

Damn Sir, how do you feel being this cool ?

[@johansmith4764]

I am a swedish viking. It is a bit ironic that I hate the sea. It is a deep fear to go down by a kraken or a sea serpent. The fear of the sea is just as deep as the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

[@modifiedMotorsport2023]

Great to hear the original kick ass song

[@gamethingstuff]

Gav has released Valhalla Calling almost as many times as Bethesda had released Skyrim. I ain't complaining tho.

[@Nyx_2142]

Difference being that Gav's songs are finished products that aren't absolute bug fests even a decade later. Or in Fallout 4's case, Bethesda keeps reintroducing old bugs and breaking things.

[@gamethingstuff]

@@Nyx_2142 I gave up on Fallout 4 half way through. While it is a joke how many times they've released Skyrim, the game itself is still great

[@nezz0r]

Additionally his Valhalla Calling is a song quite often covered by people. You may call it modded Skyrim in that context.😂

[@MrFright2010]

Main difference: Valhalla Calling was bug-free b4 any mods.

[@goblinslayer310]

fuck beat me to it

[@Hexnus]

Like a raid in the night on English shores, this came out of nowhere and left nothing behind. Great work Gav!

[@axelhopfinger533]

Nothing but goosebumps and the strong desire to get into a boat with a few mates and visit the neighbors for a friendly exchange of property. ☠

[@TheAkrillion]

Brother, too soon. My family was brutalized during the raid last night.

[@general8250]

You can release this 500 times and I can and will listen to it all 500 times, on repeat, until the heat death of the universe.

[@user-kb9zh5ce2g]

No matter the year, Valhalla keeps calling!!

[@lkayh]

That throat singing! This is a genius song!

[@wakahisasensei]

This song just doesn’t get old. This might be the best version so far.

[@lkayh]

That throat singing! This song just never gets old!

[@jonored]

I have been wanting to see the throat singing on video since the first version with any video of singing. That's the bit that gets the shivers going. Come to think of it, at the end of this song I found myself half expecting to hear a particular group's style... "miracle of sound / the hu" collaboration song would be quite the thing, I think.

[@luminouswanderer]

Never back down, brother, "don't let your spirit fade away", raise your horn and ascend to the immeasurable heights that your talent deserves!

[@Shageru47]

Ahhh yes. The proper way to listen to Valhalla Calling.

[@THEVikingShaman]

As a born and bred Scandinavian (Norwegian and Swedish), a Viking Age re-enactor and a Norse pagan, this song REALLY gets my blood pumping. Keep up making awesome music Gav, hope this tour takes to my neck of the woods, I'd be happy to buy you a beer and share some laughs.

[@malkano8621]

skol brother pagan

[@mrs.b6719]

Gavin, my dear sweet young man, you could sing the dictionary and I'd buy it!!😂 Your vocals are incredible, and coupled with the artistic genius that you have, (and you have it in spades) just makes you uniquely wonderful and a real treasure to all of us who appreciate REAL talent!!! Love your SUPERIOR work and creativity 👏 ❤️👏❤️👏 Hope it never stops 😊

[@atilacerkez860]

Yes, a another valhalla calling song. Each version is a masterpiece and ranks among the Nordic songs. Good work miracle of sound. Me and the boys going to valhalla twice. 💯🔥

[@GaisaSanktejo]

Not just "another", but with Gav being the author, the original.

[@user-ie1co4jr3n]

I am glad to see you claiming ownership of your work. You are truly an exceptional talent, and I think your lyrics are pure poetry. Great job on stirring up the warrior in all of us!

[@BadPotat]

Got a new favorite version of this song now.

[@007JackBourne]

Indeed Valhalla calls us all

[@dartpi1436]

Absolute fire! That deceiver Parrish can hide. Here's to you, Gav!

[@alendonvaldor5808]

You know Peyton literally credits Gav on every video right?

[@alendonvaldor5808]

Ah, just found Gav's video on what Peyton is doing in concert against his wishes, okay yep, agreed.

[@Marcelino1098]

​@@alendonvaldor5808what did i miss?

[@blaster2187]

@@Marcelino1098 In short; Peyton is singing Valhalla Calls live, Gav, who has continually gotten a lot of people covering the song without due credit or even permission (some even claiming the song is an old Viking shanty that Gav brushed up as his own) has politely requested him to stop, which he has not done.

[@belad0nna]

@@Marcelino1098 Peyton's basically been a dick about this song and using it against Gav's wishes and is pretty unrepentant about it.

Keep on rocking, Gav.

Another epic version of an epic song. Can't wait to hear this live on Feb 15th!!!

[@thekippster4749]

As a huge fan and new mom, thank you for sharing your talent! Your song not only make my day to listen to, but are consistently one of the few things that'll keep my baby calm and happy, especially the original version of Vahalla (Though 'Purest Gold' and 'Whatever Comes Our Way' are both ones she loves too!) She settles into them more than she does her actual lullaby spundtrack! (Guess she's your youngest fan, lol!)

[@Knittigmouse]

I knew your original before I even heard of Payton! I love your music and you deserve all the respect and honor for your brilliant work! Always by your side! ❤️

Same!

[@denzglodoviza9028]

Me too. I first heard the original version, and his metal version before his collab with Peyton

[@John5Cena]

yeap me too

[@coral-trustworthy]

I've always said this is the best version since it's pure from the heart of an artist which directly touches the heart of an art lover.

[@andrewlaughbon9468]

Welldone Gav. It baffles me people cant grasp this is your song. I just point at your works and say nothing. I just stare at them .

[@MayaRaimondo]

That snarl… yarrr 😆 GAVIN!!! 🤘🏼

[@DetroitSoul]

I dunno about anyone else, but I think this is the best one. It just feels more personal, and much more powerful. This is my new favorite.

[@SuperAzreal]

Been listening for around 12 years, and have yet to be disappointed Gav. ❤ Well done

[@Joos2000]

Oh look, one more version of Valhalla Calling that I can listen to another thousand times!

[@PokerPlayerJames]

The fact that this actually sounds just as good if not better without a certain someone on it really speaks volumes on were the true bulk of the talent and 100% of the credit for this masterpiece belongs. *Cough* *Cough*

[@Ardakor]

What about "VALHALLA CALLING by Miracle Of Sound - ORIGINAL VERSION"? It sounds (and is credited) performed by Gavin only.

[@umbra9472]

I’m so confused who this is throwing shade at and why?

[@PokerPlayerJames]

I personally like that original version better but a lot of people prefer the harsher more metal versions. So for those few that don't now or are being mislead into believing that Gav didn't write the song. This kind of hammers that home.

[@PokerPlayerJames]

This is basically the mix from an earlier Collab with the other artist cut out. Because he's been a dick as of late.

[@vesuvius1318]

@@PokerPlayerJames I like both versions. Also, some people get too famous too fast and lose their integrity in the process. (Payton has videos on his channel dating back 8 years, but he had relatively low subscriber numbers up until 2 years ago.)

Dear Gav: It was three years ago when my husband played “All as One” in the car one day that made me love the work you do. That song helped me more than you can ever imagine. Your lyrics are a gift.

Please keep making amazing things, first and foremost, for yourself and then for fans. May The Lord bless you. Sincerely, Just Another Fan PS: I woke up this morning to “Choose to be Better” playing in my head, thanks a bunch!

i just recently got to see payton parrish live and was really disappointed to say the least. Never had someone hold a concert with more focus on the opening act than on the actual star of the concert. With no explanation whatsoever. I am really glad to see this version from you its so much better

I’m so very happy that you allowed VoicePlay to cover this. Otherwise I most probably would have missed out on learning about you and the songs you have written. This is SO stirring and wonderfully done, although I admit that I really like the version you did that used the game footage, too. I’m not usually big on ‘metal’. But then, I do not find this version as ‘screamy’ as metal often feels to me. Instead, it is more about the drums and war horn with a true chant vibe to it. Love it and much of your other work as well.

The best sound of valhalla!!!!!!

[@OfficialYzaDora]

This is, and I think, always will be my favorite song. And now that I am hearing it with the single vocals from the original creator, I am finding it much more powerful.
