Those birds,music,voice...Cure for my depression and anxiety
Lmao
God bless.
✨
Folk music always makes my heart warm....
Could be a bonus track on the record on its own!! with the birds singing as a bonus too. Transported back in time...Tusind tak!
I would literally buy an album with just her raw recordings in the forest, with the full songs performed and mixed with the wind, the birds singing or whatever the weather is at that exact moment. I would cherish it even more than a crafted album (don't misunderstand me, I'm loving the new album, but what I would truly love are songs like this).
It's so great to have a traditional music album, I'm buying it as soon as it get's released.
Scandinavian folk music is the best
Beautiful as always ❤❤
" Girls really ain´t got no place in Dark Metal!"....
Myrkur: " Hold my lyre"...
I have never met a single person who said that
Same, no one thinks that at all
That’s wrong mate
This woman is such a talent and I am obsessed with her voice.
So very beautiful. ❤

I want to make music. Music like this. Art.
Would love to hear this 'live' in the forest .. Is there any reverb or effects added ?
Reverb is definitely added.
@Kyle Evans
Yes i gathered it was recorder in a studio ,as it sounds over engineered and digital .....i would like to hear it without added effects ...
Cheers
Красивая и поёт очень красиво!
Thanks ..Thats real nice . :)
🖤
👍👍👍fantastic
Good singer

It makes room for my ancestors to look into the presence 🙂
you really are attracting chaffinches, i hear these cheeky birds enthusiastically sing their song every time you out in the forest playing your music xD
i love your muisc
Amalie, my heart, this is DIVINE. As if heaven cracked open and you started signing. How BEYOND captivating and sweet and simply magnificent that was. Thank you for sharing this.
My heart belongs here in the Canadian wilderness. Along with Myrkurs wonderful & spiritual tunes I am whole.
Красиво!
👌❤️
This Midgardsblot gonna be legendary again! :P
Eventyrlig atmosfære, flot instrument det lyder godt
🥰
Чудовий голос.
Album version with recordings done in Forest, not in the studio ... would be amazing (vibe like TIAMAT-Wildhoney album)
Looks a beautiful instrument. Haunting song of Norwegian mythology...The tree was a mythological ash tree was it not? Your singing is very pleasing to the ear dear lady and your hand light upon the dulcet strings.
Look likes good instrument
You look good Amalie :-)
Ah mi mi
Where can I buy a lyre exactly like this
Looks like a Sutton Hoo Lyre replica.
Great video and song! To be honest, I think the present video would make a much more appropriate videoclip for this song.
You should have linked your album in the description
Beautiful! What is your tuning?
Any idea what tuning?
Actually I like this more then the official video...
Does anyone know what scale the Lyre is in?
Voice that can be both beautiful and brutal? Check! Can play modern and traditional/ancient instruments? Check! Seems both knowledgeable and humble? Check! Basically, she is quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians. 😁🎶
The most beautiful voices ar the ones that are not just "pleasant"
💖💋👍👀😀👂👍💋💖
Is the pronunciation of the "Y" as "Ü" specific to Danish or is it shared by other North-Germanic languages ? I would never have guessed it would be pronounced this way !
It is shared by all North-Germanic languages except Icelandic, who merged it with 'i'. Old Norse 'y' was also pronounced that way.
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 Thanks
Where did you learn all of these interesting instruments? As an American guitar player, I dont have easy access to any of these.. So cool.
In Europe we have instruments dating back to the late bronze age. We don´t know what the music sounded like but judging by the way the various instruments work we can make educated guesses as to what kind of music would or could have been likely to have been played on them based on what we already know of tribal and early music traditions.
The lyre is an ancient instrument dating back before the Romans, possibly even before the Greek ie. to the Egyptian Pharaonic periods which would make the instrument more than three thousand years old.
There is all over Europe these years a recurring and renewed interest in our own roots so traditional folk songs and folk music from our more than sixteen different cultural regions is very much the thing these years,- the folk songs get mixed into even contemporary metal resulting in the genre Folk Metal with various subgenres such as Vikingr Metal, Celtic Metal, Balkan Metal etc.
Outside of the omnipresent guitar,- classical, Spanish, Flamenco or steel-string,- popular instruments are:
Tin whistles, flutes, recorders, Baroque recorders, Hurdy-Gurdy, bagpipes, Uilleann pipes, mandola, mandolin, cello, violin, Hardangerfele, nyckelharpa, Lyre, Tagelharpa, Kravik lyre, Celtic harp, Bodhran, medieval tom drum, accordion, concertina, lute, Theorbo, arch-lute, bouzouki, Sazz and Oud.
Check them all out,- they can all be found on YT and by Googling. Check also Brandon Acker´s YT channel,- why is self explanatory when you get there.
Closest thing you would have to this in the US would be your own roots music,- ie old Appalachian folk songs, old bluegrass, old folk predating the birth of blues and spirituals etc.played on dulcimers, fiddles, flutes, whistles and banjos.

Likewise find the YT channel of Jackson Crawford- US scholar on all things Scandinavian, Nordic, Vikingr, Old Norse and a modern day linguist who actually speaks the Old Norse from the Vikingr period.
Fascinating stuff.
Enjoy.

Pretty woman
Is it the same kind of instrument used by Wardruna?
Kinda
Those strings looks synthetic, which got me wondering, what did stringed instrument makers use for strings in the old days? Animal tendens perhaps?
Usually animal hair, such as horse tail hair.
@@StormEscape Really? That's fascinating! I know today we use different thicknesses and tensions to generate the desired frequency, how would they go about that with animal hair? Braiding it perhaps?
They did not use animal hair but the cleaned, spun and woven animal gut intestines,- ie the guts from pigs or sheep,- the horse hair was used for the bow of a violin,- not for strings,- too flimsy even when spun so they would break while being played.
@@ulfdanielsen6009 Thank you, I knew they did something like that for a lot of instruments, but I was curious how it differed from region to region.
Can you send us the lyrics?
