[@Kilian600]

Eivør isn't JUST music, it's an experience of a lifetime

[@jnystad]

You should really give "Eivør - True Love | Sofar Los Angeles" a shot. Another one of her outstanding performances.

[@georgeweissberg6498]

Ah, I'm so glad you've discovered what I consider the gold standard of all music videos. The voice, the musicality, and the performance are incomparable. It's a perfect storm that leaves you stunned and breathless, but in a good way. Your reaction was icing on the cake. Next, you might consider one of the live performances of "Gullspunnin", another favorite of mine. You won't be disappointed...

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

Can only agree with you. And just for some sprinkling on top of what you said; she also seems to be such a nice down to earth person.

[@willasacco9898]

Excellent description of all of Eivor’s work.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

her vocals are absolutely stunning. you should try "wake me up" live next, and lately i liked slør from the london solo sessions a lot. gloomy sunday is also beautiful. less tribal but not less amazing is "truth" live at studio bloch.

[@Drinckx2]

I love this track; she is such a wonderful artist.

[@stephsteph4574]

Please more Eivør! I saw her live last year and it was nothing but epic! ❤ You could do "Gullspunnin" live next or if you want an english song check out "True Love"

[@danceswithwolves7824]

This could literally have been my reaction. I saw her in Cologne in a church - epic! And I would recommend the exact same songs!

[@stephsteph4574]

@@danceswithwolves7824 I was in Cologne, too!

[@danceswithwolves7824]

​@@stephsteph4574 Great. Regards from The Netherlands

[@reckoninginc.]

If you think that was impressive, check out her live performance of 'Wake me Up' .... never have I heard someone do this with their voice.The song itself transports you back in time

[@akyhne]

My first choice as well. If one never got chills listening to a song, they will get it at some point, during that song. No matter their taste. And we're of course talking about the live RTT version.

[@frosty6960]

Trollabundin live on NRK is also an absolute must

[@kentmains7763]

Wake Me Up is the next one you need to hear.

[@georgelynch6139]

Her guitar work is highly underrated, notice the pedal board she uses on stage, serious! Her inner chord movement with her finger picking style is marvelous. There’s also a overlooked member of her performance lineup which is the soundboard tech who is a active member of the sound, notice the different echo,reverb and delay effects on almost every passage, he’s performing also👍 Please have a listen to “Wake me up” live

[@GiampietroDiSanto]

Another jaw-dropping performance by her is "Wake me up", live version of course. Goosebumps all along...

[@sfh8370]

Some Eivor recommendations: On the more tribal folk track: (Lívstræðrir) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7JkIxojLhrkJI (The Last Kingdom) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmG0dZ2Fptubi7c (This one is an amateur recording but OMG) On the more contemporary (Kate Bush inspired) track: (Boxes) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3bOipWlobmshLM (The same song in completely different jazzy interpretation kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpy9h2iegLZjlc0) (Rain) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqqpmeCj9yMY6s (Patience) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2qqep6dftRlfKs (I Tokuni) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqLRfp6LmLmgr9U But pretty much anything live is fantastic from Eivor

[@johnsonpaul1914]

I love listening to Eivor and marvel at your musical expertise on the piano. That last note that Eivor sang must have been really powerful according to how far she pulled away from the mic.

[@poolhallshark]

Beautiful reaction❤❤ I knew that you would love it just as much as I do myself. I actually got tears in my eyes from watching your excitement and enjoyment. I agree with you that this is musical and vocal perfection. The arrangement is just awesome. For me this is the best song ever, by any band or artist😊 Have a great weekend ❤️ Love from Norway❤❤❤

[@HappyTreeHappy]

Gorgeous voice.

[@ringmoen1]

Love your reaction ❤Eivør is amazing ❤

[@klausbak8211]

Just love Eivør. This one always bring tears of joy to me. And she is such a humble and nice person, you would want to be friend with. Love the progression from such a suttle Sound at the beginning to the electricity In the end of the song. Love your reaction. Dont forget Nightwish😂❤🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 Greetings from Denmark

[@michaellindlar1959]

Please try "True Love" live. It will blow your mind too.

[@slavaukraini404]

Listen to her do Wake Me Up. It's mind blowing as she really unleashes.

[@just2share]

You've got such a beautiful soul Nina, which shines through your beautiful presence. And I am sure your voice is delicious as well, gotta find your songs now :)

[@eckligt]

I saw Eivør in concert many years ago, and spoke to her after the show, me speaking Norwegian and her speaking Gøtudanskt (Danish spoken with Faroese phonetics, which makes it effectively Norwegian).

[@johnjohn37371]

That's sounds really cool... completely over my American head, but really cool....

[@eckligt]

@@johnjohn37371 There's a wikipedia page about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gøtudanskt_accent Basically Faroese is its completely own language, about as intelligible to Norwegians and Danes as German is to someone who only speaks English -- that is, you might make out a word here and there, but mostly not. Meanwhile, Danish and Norwegian are 98 % the same, except with _extremely_ different pronunciation rules -- so they are mutually intelligible in writing but often not in speech. As a quirk, on the Faroe Islands, which is under the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside their own language of Faroese, they have traditionally been speaking Danish using their local pronunciation rules. This has come to be known as Gøtudanskt. And because the Faroese and Norwegian pronunciation rules are broadly similar, it just ends up sounding like an odd, hard-to-place dialect within Norwegian. At least to me. And by the way, the excellent youtube channel NativLang did a video on why Danish sounds odd: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3qYdYOqaKyYldU And in fact, that video builds on another one they did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2GXY3p-obqapbM So if you're interested, go ahead and watch the second video link before the first one. Kind regards from Norway

[@johnjohn37371]

@@eckligt Thank you very much for the information...I'm always fascinated by regional differences, dialects, or smaller countries with multiple languages. Here in the states, about all we have to contend with are accents...some severe, admittedly, but all mostly intelligible. Because of that, foreign languages have never been prioritized in our education system as they should be. We have a large enough latin American/Mexican population that Spanish should be mandatory learning. Years ago, I bowled in a tournament in Finland, and was struck then how well it seemed that all the competitors from the Scandinavian countries spoke English. It actually seems true the world over. I've traveled a fair bit and have yet to have a real problem. I am excited to watch the videos you suggested, and I thank you again for the info...

[@eckligt]

@@johnjohn37371 If you want to geek out further with languages on KZbin, I have some more tips for you, on top of the excellent NativLang: * LangFocus is a channel that covers all kinds of languages, usually one or a couple per video. * Jackson Crawford is an American professor of Old Norse and Scandinavian, and he makes a lot of good content on his channel. * Polymathy is a channel by an American who mostly covers Latin and Ancient Greek. * Wouter Corduwener is a Dutch hyperpolyglot, who speaks 29 languages, and he likes to make fun light-hearted videos where he challenges people on the street to speak something he cannot.

[@Tanerion]

I'm Faroese and glad to hear that Gøtudanskt is that similar to Norwegian, because I would get Norwegian and Swedish words mixed up if I try to speak either of those two languages. Seems I should just focus on what I already know when talking to Norwegians and try get more experience speaking Swedish.

[@johnjohn37371]

Well, I'm thrilled. I was so anxious for you to hear this...I'm so happy that you loved it. When I'm asked what songs still give me goosebumps, I always say this one and The Silence by The Manchester Orchestra. Your breakdown was outstanding ♥️

[@christofferlindberg2230]

"Eivør - True Love | Sofar Los Angeles" very good song just love her we also have "Eivør gullspunnin from i luftini" and "Eivør truth" best female singer in the world.

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

When you first reacted to Eivør, you got me into her music. I have slowly been going through her discography. An amazing artist. I also like Elinborg, who is also from Faroe Islands, who I have come across. They have made a track together recently.

[@panagiotadimakopoulou1631]

Eivør and Elinborg are sisters 😊

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

@@panagiotadimakopoulou1631 oh my word, I never knew that. Thanks for sharing that knowledge.

[@VerbumAngeli]

I would recommend either: Eivør - The Last Kingdom: Main Theme (Live at Hammersmith Apollo) or Eivør Pálsdóttir - Monster (The one where she plays the kalimba).

[@davefletch3063]

Her music always hits deep into my souk

[@kathleensmith3555]

You simply must hear her song Gullspunnin --- Its so wonderful and ethereal --- You will be blown away

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

Seeing you experience this for the first time took me back to my first time ... exactly the same ... had to listen several times to get enough 😍 Sitting watching you enjoy that high B-flat thinking "I know what's coming ..." 😜

[@ninaschofield]

It’s just so good isn’t it! Thanks for your comment Peter 😊

[@waynej4962]

I'm going to see her live in October.

[@georgelynch6139]

Me too, going to her Goteberg performance in Oct👍

[@capstan50g]

Eivor is one of my ancestral peeps. Denmark represent! Lots of great Scandinavian vocalists out there right now, including my barefoot princess, Angelina Jordan. Eivor really captures the spirit of the north. Great reaction, Nina!

[@witte_raaf]

More Eivør! I suggest a very old live version of Min modir, nobody reacts to this song or any of the last kingdom songs...

[@n_other_1604]

Wake Me Up is another breathtaking song / live performance by Eivør!!! Spoiler alert: I freakin love that drummer & his solo in there.

[@slavaukraini404]

Have you heard the Soundtrack to the TV series, The Last Kingdom. It's mind blowing. Every sound is made by veteran composer John Lunn and Eivor. John discovered Eivor watching the same video you did Nina. He arranged a meeting to see what she could offer. After 3 days they had recorded the main theme which Eivor made up out of her head vocally and did in one take, singing over music John had recorded. Ask John what her musicality is like. He said she can sing anything, even singing as a young boy at one stage. He stopped asking her if she could do whatever. The music for the series was credited to John Lunn and Eivor.

[@user-zw5ej1cs3f]

Kalandra is a band with roots in melancholic Nordic folk and gritty guitars, weaving ethereal melodies into raw and eerie musical landscapes.

[@garygreen1782]

True love has some HIGH NOTES! And some mad drumming. Boxes with jazz composer Arve Henriksen is pretty cool too.

[@allyhewitt1300]

Come for the reaction, stay for the lovely, comfy jumper. I've been lucky to see her live a few times, and every performance and song is a bit different every time, it's the one thing that makes her talents stand out so much

[@Psyperactive]

“musical perfection" I will leave it at that. You need to see and react to her live performance of Salt from the Juke Train

[@aryansigrid]

Hi Nina, I do have a favourite EIVOR song which is so beautiful it's called "True Love". It's best seen performed "Live". (Below is the address for her performance): "TRUE LOVE": kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHKYlaF8is1ge7c

[@aryansigrid]

Definitely, "True Love" live is one of my favourite songs of Eivor's, just hauntingly amazing!😁

[@eviljeep]

Something happen inside my heart each time i listen to her voice 🌹 Stunning 👌

[@frosty6960]

Not only is the whole song amazing, but the cresendo ending it absolute fire

[@FairsleyDifference]

If you like the synth try her Salt (Live at the train warehouse) or Gullspunnin (on I Luftini)

[@hunterhunted9221]

Really appreciate your analytical here.... makes me more loving this fantastic performance

[@andybricks576]

Nina:............."The D, the D the D the D......! Funny 😄 TY for another awesome analysis, Eivor is a gifted artist for sure

[@MC-rr5iz]

Curious you mentioned Kate Bush cause She actually has fine a cover of One of the of her songs. Enough to Say a fantastic cover in Eivor style❤

[@IrenESorius]

Absolute pure mind-blowing fire,, ❤‍🔥🥰❤‍🔥

[@DanielHensley-lj7pr]

My wife and I split up a year ago, but we came back together and this song means so much to us.

[@akyhne]

Next up, "Wake Me Up" RTT version with Eivør: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eQcql6erB9pMU Or "Hounds of Love" - music video (Eivør does Kate Bush song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYfMnoWQaM-Gmbc Or "True Love" live and solo from Los Angeles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHKYlaF8is1ge7c You could also do a more mainstream song, "I Tokuni" (music video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqLRfp6LmLmgr9U All songs are pretty different from each other

[@elifineart]

Great reaction, Eivør is amazing and she remind me Kate Bush too, she actually did a beautiful cover of Hounds of Love. next i suggest you react to her song Gullspunnin, it's very spacial.

[@vbvideo1669]

Great reaction! Greetings from Germany! ^.^ :)

[@dm579]

Eivor and composer John Lunn did a live broadcast from home during the pandemic shutdown. A reaction to their live performance of tracks from the Last Kingdom would be time well spent. There have not been many reaction videos posted of this performance, so you would be one of the first. 😊 Also, I saw Eivor perform live in Germany last fall and it was an amazing experience. It was truly everything one could hope for in a concert.

[@PK--ITA]

I recommend her album "Slor" from 2017. A masterpiece, you won't be disappointed. & "True love" live at SOFAR Los Angeles. Regards.

[@freddyberg7281]

Thank You for this very nice reaction to my absolute favourite artist! For the next one I would suggest "I Tokuni" kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqLRfp6LmLmgr9U , or her cover of the Kate Bush song "Hounds of Love" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYfMnoWQaM-Gmbc Love from Norway

[@akyhne]

She leaves Kate Bush in the dust, on her version of "Hounds of Love"!

[@RolandTumble23]

I've only just scratched the surface of Eivør's work, myself, but my personal recommendation would be for her cover of my favorite Leonard Cohen song, _Famous Blue Raincoat._

[@eepk5209]

I’d love to hear your take of Eivør’s Rura Barnio… I feel like her range is otherworldly 😍 love your takes!

[@michaellindlar1959]

Please react to her live song "True Love". It will blow your mind.

[@jamesstubbs2228]

Eivor, really is very special. Take a deep dive and you will not be disappointed. Also maybe take a look at Highasakite- Lover where do you live. Live at the Norwegian opera and ballet. Again I do not think you would be disappointed.

[@hiawatha.g]

Just found you because of Marcelito. Yes, Eivør is otheworldly. I like the Kate Bush/Coldplay references. So, I checked and you do not appear to have reacted to Diana Ankudinova. I am sure you have gotten that suggestion many times, but I'm going to add my vote for you to check her out. She is sort of the converse of Eivør. You'll see what I mean. Here is her rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love". kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYqWgI2Most6jNk

[@Victoriam4074]

"Never mind her vocal'' Are you serious? it's kinda coldplay-esque. No, she's more than ALL of the other musicians, especially cold play. Nasty.

[@minegames9977]

Hey, really love the video so much!! was wondering if u could maybe react to Melanie Martinez her new album? has some really interesting songs on it!! ur amazingg

[@littlemouse7066]

If you like music if you know music you have to appreciate this performance even if it's not your cup of tea it's a matter of recognizing talent. In my opinion and for my taste this song is average very pop but she's incredible.

[@Accolonian]

Well, since you keep mentioning Kate Bush, you should probably listen to Eivørs cover of kate's Hounds of Love. Beside that, I would suggest some of her accusics: Rain - stripped down version or Surrender from London Solo Session. And maybe True Love. My first Eivør love is still: Í Tokuni

[@mc.the_machine]

Now, could there ever be an actual fusion collaboration between Kate Bush, and Cold Play? Because, if Eivor is any indication, that really could be epic!

[@kennethnattell9427]

She is impressive isn’t she. And you my dear are completely lovely.

[@maksmadman]

Look into it

[@svendhovgaard968]

Check out "Bridges".....please......The third chord, my goodness

[@willellison9027]

Have you heard of a guy called Ren and his KZbin video called Hi Ren , it totally changed my world xxxx

[@skepto-o-punk8286]

😂 I was about to type, “Sounds like Kate Bush” when you said, “Quite Katebush-esque”. 😂

[@JohnGunn]

This song gets me every time, it's just SO emotional and powerful! I'd say either Salt (the live in a train warehouse version) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4ibm4eml5p4prs - or her live version of Gullspunnin kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWLTcn6bic-agqc Also you should definitely check out Kalandra, another incredible Nordic group! Their song Brave New World is stunning kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS8dGR8fLGri9k

[@rhd108]

Great reaction! I saw her live last year. I never heard about her before, just went to the show, because her name was exciting😆 After that I deleted almost all of my music from my pc. For next I recommend this version of "True Love": kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGWrmHWtq9KhY9U and "Truth": kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIfKdIhvipJrftk

[@slavaukraini404]

I find it hard to listen to other things after hearing Eivor.

[@slavaukraini404]

The Faroe Islands a country with a population of 52,000 people in the North Atlantic.

[@annesophie57]

Hi Nina, in the same vein, I would recommend you to give a try to 2 other Norvegian artists, Highasakite and Susanne Sundfor. Knowing that you are a piano lover, I propose you kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4OUgnVmop5kiLs and kzbin.info/www/bejne/d17Yg6yFqpmMjJY

[@juggletom]

Great reaction, I enjoed it so much. This is one of my vavorite songs ever. I saw her live in Germany and it was mindblowing. I love the sofar session of "True Love" the most after this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHKYlaF8is1ge7c

[@caythorgrimson]

WE ARE AND HAVE ALLWAYS BIN WE ARE U ENGLISH WE AR E THE SCOTT WE AR INDIVI

[@julientardieux]

If I may make a suggestion, try "Wake me up" next. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eQcql6erB9pMU

[@joparkcat]

Awesome performance, but the track would have been mixed post show and probably had some overdubs to the band mix.

[@slavaukraini404]

I could not hear any overdubs. Lot of reverb which Eivor controls with her foot pedals. All I could hear was guitar, drums and the synth's, including the bass synth he was using. Eivor's operating some guitar delay with her pedals also. I expect being there would have sounded even more awesome. It is very well recorded, but it is her making it sound like a studio recording. Not as much as a slight waver in her singing, even on delicate notes, basically it's perfection. A normal singer would make it sound more average, probably needing backup vocals to carry it.

[@caythorgrimson]

born dead north

[@maksmadman]

Do You know?i its important

[@DarkMatterBurrito]

"Torshavn" means "Thor's Haven". That should give you an idea of how to pronounce it.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

She has a wonderful vocal but too high pitched for my ears. Always like lower tone female vocals.

[@hansmolders1066]

Yeah, because she's doing it on a guitar! You bend notes and make them effing cry! You classical guys are so linear

[@robroy488]

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FU#K?!!! I was with you up until the point you had the audacity to mention Coldplay?! "Kind of Coldplay-esque" Like seeing a Rembrandt Van Rijn and saying "Kind of similar to a monkeys faeces daubing on its cage wall"
