Wardruna - Helvegen (Norsk & English lyrics)

[@TheScottFamily41]

This song was the last one at my dads funeral, along wjth dont fear the reaper and the end by tge doors miss you dad, 2 years today you left us ❤

[@MrFolch]

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad must have been a special person. It's a beautiful way to honor him with those songs. Take care.

[@torbenfranke1859]

This song reaches me on on levels most art is unable to... It calls to something more primal and older in me... Something I can feel I'm missing on modern life today. Call me crazy, but hearing this is almost like filling a hole in my chest with an echo from the past.

[@Mystic.Medusa]

Deep down... I can hear that call as well.

[@captainjonna1034]

could not of said it better myself, there defo something primal and calling about it, calling me to discover the roots of history that is within me.....makes me think some viking left me behind in a saxons belly a few thousand years ago hahahaha.

2 million years for humans to evolve with music and festivals, rituals and culture. people hunted, feasted, made a big fire and hit on those animal skin drums at night. not knowing about science, believing in gods and a purpose. that must have soaked into us over the counless generations. even if you take the recent 2000 years (and a large part of that was just as primal :D) thats only 0,1% of humanities time. no hard science, no clinical behaviour optimized for efficient production, no computers, no weird chart songs. they had nothing but voice and drums and stuff that sounded resonating and deep. must have been good times besides the lack of medicine and quite some unjust behaviour. at least it was "true" to life. eat, be eaten, kill, be killed, fuck and be fucked. the meat you ate had a life, the plants grew in a natural cycle, weather had impact on us, storms and thunder must have felt so superior and godly when we didnt have big ass houses made of stone with a rod to protect from lightning. humans still interacted with each other besides the superficial mandatoy shit we have nowadays. they came together for almost everything. today most people arent anything more but NPCs you have to interact with to get through your day. no values left. honor, loyalty, love, friendship have become abstract or superficial things you have to buy with an abstract currency or sometimes even explain to people for them to know what it originally "was". obviously not all the time, but in comparison to back then i imagine it to have changed towards that tendency at least. in the end i would have had to life back then to make actual assumptions, but what can we do but guess. at least i feel like we all agree these types of music resonated with us. maybe some inherited core-memories that are stimulated like a duck that can swim pretty much right after birth or some animals that can walk right after they are born. some hard-coded information that stayed with us. it stimulates our hormones, sometimes i get adrenaline rushes and goosebumbs from listening to this kind of stuff even if i dont understand the lyrics. just makes me feel like im about to fight smth, summon a god or march through a storm that can snap me down if it wanted to like some little twig. objectively seen its just random vibratuions in the air. so obviously it must be our sibjective associations with it. and how are we associating / resonating with it, if not from our very genetics conserved the information we accumalted over the last 2 million years.

"Alt veit eg Odin Kvar du auge løynde" is the most touching part of this song for me. I don't even understand a word of norwegian language, but I feel it

[@MrGenetix]

I feel like I already heard this song long time ago and I'm not even nordic (i'm 193cm slav 😅) even though I never heard it before. I can't even describe the amount of emotions this song brings... Pride, peace, sadness, love, loss, life, understanding, higher purpose, immortality of the spirit that just returns and remembers. And the everyday fight and struggle. Not falling into the darkness but staying proud in light even when it gets really hard... to reach the ancestors with honor, well deserved.

It's weird but even without the lyrics translation I can understand it somewhat, once I listen close. Song, Bound, Valfader= Allfather, etc. I'd like to pretend it's because of my distant Norman/Northman ancestors, but it's probably Norse and English being related languages. ;)

[@suurikuryellow-tooth9054]

Would make sense.

[@MilnaAlen]

I can see that happening, but it still doesn't make much sense. Norse saw death as indifferent and tragic, but not evil. Helheim was not a place of punishment, just a second home for those not chosen to be warriors. And I for one would rather have peace and rest than honor. Hel takes care of the children, ill and weary. Odin is just a king and a war general.

This song is purely paganism. I am a Christian. I can't keep on singing a song which mentions the Odin's name no. But I just love the tune the beat and the sound but not the lyrics.

[@MrFolch]

I can't imagine a world where everyone think and believe the same, I guess it's up to us to learn while we walk in this path called life, to grow phisically, mentally and spiritually. I've read about Jesus, I've read about The seven laws of Noah, I've read about classical and modern philosophy, there are differences off course, but in those differences you can find wisdom. At least that is my point of view. Also I'm glad you like the tune, the beat, and the sound.

[@Lee-sd8uo]

Why are there so many similarities between Hinduism and Norse paganism?? reason why I'm asking is because they both seem to be related and someone told me that Norse Vikings (the ones who carried R1a) were descended from Indo-Aryans and that it's originally a 'Aryan' genes LOL.. could someone please elaborate, so that I can prove this idiot wrong who's been claiming Europe was conquered by pale-skinned Aryans from India...

[@MrFolch]

@@Lee-sd8uo slow down a bit please, you are both right in some things, you talk about halogroups, you are right there, but the basis of the belief (not the racial part) has its essence in India, many societies have studied it, including the schwarze sonne society. (although it is known that there were an ethnic group in Kashmir with R1a). Thats why you can track "Odín" practically to India, you have Wotan, Woden, Rode, etc, to Kashmir, you were talking about "Norse Paganism" so the answer is clear, yes it has its roots in India. Even bands like Dissection talk about the Goddess Hel in the form of Kali.

[@Lee-sd8uo]

@@MrFolch and that ethnic group in Kashmir were a Indo-European tribe, Light skinned UP people have way more r1a than Andhra’s (excluding brahmins). Also, Dravidians are a combination of Australoid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid. Aryan (Indo-Iranian, Proto-Indo-Iranian and Indo-European) so R1a carriers brought Indo-European languages to North India.. thanks for the info though:) I'd dig deeper.
