LYRICS:
SKÅL Gavin Dunne 2023
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song
At the end of the eve
We'll be welcome and warm
By a great roaring fire
Our voices a storm
In the warm timber halls
We will keep out the cold
As we bellow and belt out
These tunes full of soul
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song
We're welcome and warm
Our voices a storm
Our voices, our voices a storm
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song - Hudba
When I wrote Skål I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be a folk song or a metal song... so I once again decided... why not both! Enjoy :)

P.S. For those asking: Here are some things I am eyeing up for songs this year: House Of The Dragon, Starfield, more Elden Ring, Irish/Celtic history and some other surprises!
Both was a good decision. A very good one.
Love your work mate!
I would really love a new song about Irish culture like the one about Cu Cuhlain, its one of my favourite
@@dentatus9915 Planning on it!
Good call both versions are amazing.
You can tell how much Gav enjoys this genre from just the comments of, "Alright, I don't want to burn myself out and get into a rut, so this is the last norse song for a while", followed immediately by, "...Alright, THIS is the last one." Respect to wanting to make sure you stay diverse with your music while also clearly loving this kind of music and wanting to always do more.
Gavin's not addicted to norse songs- he can stop any time he wants
I just uses a 9meter chain as a belt for my panta, just on automaton mode dude, this stuff is creepy
I feel like this song was meant to make you feel like a badass
A little bit, yeah! It's also meant to feel warm, welcoming and fun :)
@@miracleofsound this better not be milked like Valhalla calling 😂
@@Paleo_P1anet I don't think it's possible to milk a song more than Valhalla Calling got milked by both me and a bunch of other musicians 😂
@@miracleofsound 🤣🤣🤣
@@miracleofsound It was was all worth it!
This song makes me shut out everyone who has done me wrong and every thought that suppresses me. Skål if you start your day with your inner beast!
"Men of war and men of care" is a lyric I really vibe with and has really been in my head ever since the original song.
I've been a fan of the Miracle of Sound project since 2009, when Mr. Dunne first posted a link to his then brand new song Gordon Freeman Saved my life on a random page of a random topic of the Escapist forums. 14 years I've been a fan of this project, 12 of which I have referred to it as my favourite band. Here's to a decade and a half of excellent music, Gavin; you keep making miracles and I'll keep listening to them!
Thanks for sticking around for so long! 🤘
@@miracleofsound I ain't going nowhere, this is where the jams are 🤘
For me, the first was a guy posting an audio file of him covering the Commander Shepard song (without instruments), with a link to the original. I thought it had an interesting sound and started following the artist, and continue to do so to this day.
The only channel I actively seeked out when I stopped browsing the Escapist...
My first MoS song was Nord Mead, and then Khajiit Like To Sneak... After about my third time listening to it, I realized it was the same person... And then I went back to look up his other songs...
Now I just need acapella version for my life to be complete.
lmao
We need a collab version with other badass vikings
@SirZeu like Peyton Parrish?
'SKAL!'
That's what I scream when depression pummels me.
Thank you Gav. Your song gives strength to carry on.
Dude, there are few artists who can do aggressive vocals like you. Metal just makes this more viking sounding. Awesome song!
Thank you. Been working on improving my vocals over the last 2 years and nailing the hard singing better :)
@@miracleofsound How many pitches do you sing the song at for your recordings? Or do you just record your voice once?
@@kennyblankenship5472 I do shitloads of layers in my songs. The lead vocal is usually tracked at least 3 times and each harmony at least twice. This song is actually pretty minimal, the folk version has about 20 layers of my voice and that's not including the SKAL shouts
@@miracleofsound Wow. That is incredible, do you do the combined work of both a production studio AND the artist?
@@kennyblankenship5472 Yep. In the last 2 years though I have outsourced mixing & mastering
It reminds of Nord Mead now so strong. Thank you for all these years of fascinating music journey. Here's for many years of it to come! SKÅL!
SKÅL!
This is such a good song, loved the non metal version and this one is even better
I dunno which one I prefer... depends on my mood lol
@@miracleofsound I think for metal it always comes down to mood lol
Ой 😊А Я не заметил разницу 😁😘😏.
@@miracleofsound Honestly for basically all songs, the "metal" version just makes your voice sound less clear, and the energy depends on the melody anyway. So if I were you, I'd go for folkier every time. But I must admit that this time both are awesome
Thank you Gavin, for giving me a reason to have this banger on all my lists twice!
When I first listened to this, it landed a bit flat at first, until a minute in I was like "hey, wait a minute..." and turned the volume all the way up.
In the words of Adam Savage, "THERE's your problem!" Much better!
Both this and the original are just incredible, oddly enough they make me feel at home
I'm listening to both the original and the metalic version to feel the chilling vibes of the north in order to prepare for the the heat of the spring and the summer. Stay ice cold folks! 🧊
I love the graph that shows which part of the video gets played the most often grows almost monotically as the video goes on. It shows that the song is so good that people don’t click off. :)
I raise my horn with meed for that skald! This song are god damn great! SKÅL!
I! STILL! MUST! KNOW! WHAT! SERIES! THIS! IS!
i am of norse and celtic descent and this song awakens the berserker in me
I really love that Miracle of sound makes music from vikings. That makes me a happy Norwegian.
Both versions of this song are fantastic! I can hear my ancestors singing along with it! .They are now fuel on my" Viking Badassery gym hit list"! You have serious talent ! Thank you for sharing it with us🍻
...you made my day with your comment!!! 😂😂❤❤
😎🤟🍻
This makes me want to watch Vikings again
I see multiple moments where yall are dressed as characters from the show Vikings and im all here for it
Now this is a reason to wake up in the mornings
I always enjoy getting notifications for this group
I want to listen to it live. During a concert, during summer, in open.
I will even pay!
There are none better at what you do than you.
Folk Metal, my favorite kind of Folk music.
SKÅL!!! SKÅL!!! If it echoes in your bones in the folk version, than this version is a hammer striking metal and making it reverberate in everything!!!!
As if I didn't rock my head enough on the folk one ... Yesss
🤘🤘Skål!!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻My sisters and brothers Greetings from chile 🇨🇱 all hail odin ⚔️ 👁️ ⚔️
Skal to Gavin, love ya forever and still miss you on Podquisition
The most beautiful vikings/ shieldmaiden i have ever seen, is in this great video ! A great video, with amazing beautiful Sheild-maidens !!! I salute you all, Hail Vikings !!!
🔥🔥🔥AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥
I just love that you release two/multiple versions of your songs, I can just choose the right one for my mood, while still listening to the same banger.
SKÅL GAV!!!
Both versions are excellent! I’m proud to have both!
Tomar uma cerveja gelada depois de um dia de trabalho é bom demais.
I love these humans
I was just abt to say that miracle of sount is hardly underrated then i've seen that this song is posted only 1 day ago and has 6k , jeez, yet still underrated since he has under 5M so tf u enjoy his music without subscribing this Masterpiece of a Voice
Прекрасны обе версии песни! Первая более аутентичная, а вторая более драйвовая. Супер!
I hope this version finds its way to Spotify as well, I'd love to add it to my viking playlists🤘🏻
my family is the kett fam we love this music and want some more
Who the hell needs coffee in the morning when you wake up the sound of THIS notification?!
I give this song over 9,000 stars!
Prost, Cheers, Skål! 🍻
Amazing song ❤❤❤
The first time I listened to your songs was in ~2012 or 2013 when my friend shared one of your songs with me. I listened to all your songs back then, I loved them crazy. After a few years, I switched to other bands and for some reason completely updated my playlist, I graduated, moved to a different city, got married, got divorced (xD), moved to another city and then... came across one of your songs again. I immediately added all of them back to my playlist, I couldn't believe I hadn't listened to them for so long. Two years passed and your songs are always with me on my phone, I listen to them often, they lift me up when I feel bad and they accompany me on every journey and sometimes just in the middle of the day. I don't stay in touch with the majority of people from 2012, but it's a miracle that your songs are still with me after all this time, after all the changes that occured in my life.
Thanks.
This turns my blood into mead.
Боже, как я жду фильм... Музыка супер... Это кайф. Это драйв. Это нечто!!!!! СПАСИБО!!!
Guess I'm buying this one too. Skal brothers and sisters of metal!
Every time I listen to this song,my boy moves in my belly! He loves this music!
You guys have a talent of making a perfect song even better
I often return to hear this wonderful song and watch the video again! Skal!
brings hype to body. listened to it while playing valhiem
That is going on to my workout list!
That was epic! As a Norse, I approve 👍😁💖
@miracleofsound you are an amazing singer. SKÅL!
Yes! I've been waiting for it since the morning
I remember when Valhalla Calling (classic) came out and was in love with it. Then a few weeks later the metal version came out and I was like Holy shit! Once again you have done me like that. Keep it up my friend!
1:45-2:00 Was waiting for that. Gav knows his metal. 🤘😁🤘
And here I thought this gem couldn't get any better... POOF! Folk Metal Version!
This is awesome. You're awesome as always Gavin.
I thought the original version was okay, but when you do the metal version, it feels like you just get it PERFECT.
I literally just found Miracle of Sound a week ago and I am already obsessed with the songs. What got me hooked on Miracle of Sound was Valhalla calling me. Which I still listen to on repeat. When I saw that Gav had done a collaboration with Sharm, I became super excited. I have been listening to Sharm for years. Anyways! Hope everything is going well. Have fun and totally looking forward to whatever else you come out with. Hoping you will do more songs with Sharm in the future.
brutaaaaaaaal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is amazing! I love what you guys did with it! It's so freaking incredible!
Skal! :)
Skål from Norway 🍻
Thumbnail went hard bossman
I feel this song in gut somehow. I'm not even blasting it. Excellent power, sir!
Both versions are amazing!! Though I think I like this version a little more!
The folk song for going on a walk, nice and easy paced and good to listen to. This one for when i`m firing up the forge for some metalworking. I`d say both was a good choice
From Sweden; Skål!
The way they say "skål" is so fun. It´s not at all how we say it. Still a cute little song :)
I think drinking song metal may be one of my new favorite metal genres
Skål my brothers and sisters:)
Another Banger!
I think I found the theme song for my D&D character.
I feel the power
A song featuring equality I can get behind.
Excellent job!
Tyr bless ye, Shield Brother!
I’d watch the tv series this is obviously teasing >.•
definitely love this one more :)
Skål from viking land Denmark to all my viking brothers in Scandinavia and throughout the world.
My Favorite band on my earphones !
This is AMAZING!!!!
Oh my, I love both versions a lot 😍🤘
Second I guess? Great song! Metal Version makes it even better
The folk is better for knitting and other meditation and this is great for workouts. Also your song about Ireland inspired me to learn Irish
- as ad dane, i approve. Skål!
Oh, I like the sound of this one very much.
A week after Valheim's Xbox release too. The game is so fun to play.
Totally badass
More viking party metal!!
I clicked so fast I love this song
I listen to the original one like 60 times since it was released lol! And this one is amazing as well!!?
They have the Mountain in this video :O
Welp time to go back to Itunes and buy this one too
I love that you make alternative versions of your songs.
For you, Skål
This version is so much amazing and strong. Skal!!!
This is the best song ever and you guys are amazing at this
This reminds me of gav’s old days with stuff like metal up. It’s actually kinda nostalgic not gonna lie
Thank you guys. Great music.
