- If you like songs that transport you to another time, another age, this is one that will bring you there. This was a great recommendation out of the blue!
The calls that she's making at the beginning of the music it's called kulning. It is used in Scandinavia to call cattle. It is an ancient way of calling them in.
Hello Chris! Cool that you reacted to this one :-) And as I'm Norwegian, you KNOW that I have to say something. First off, the vocalist here is Amalie Bruun. She is Danish, and here she sings in Danish. Amalie is the person behind Myrkur and also the lead singer. This is for sure inspired by old, norse folk songs. "Folkesange" means "folkesanger" in Norwegian and "folk songs" in English :-) "Volkslieder" in German, as you prolly already know, "volk" meaning folk. Funny how the language heritage goes. Danish and Norwegian are roughly 95% the same in the written language, but phonetically Danish is quite different from Norwegian. Fun fact : A friend of mine, Kristoffer Rygg, lead singer in a band called "Ulver", actually produced Myrkur's first full-length album :-)
Kristoffer himself is a very good heavy/black metal singer, and IF you're interested. I'll post a link to my personal favorite by them, called "I Troldskog Faren Vild" meaning "Lost In The Forest Of The Trolls". It's almost 30 years old. I'm not a huge fan of black metal, but this one sits within my limits so to speak. Link : czcams.com/video/Sn1aWF43pPI/video.html
Amalie Bruun is quite close to Ane Brun LOL, and ANE is another great, Norwegian female singer, awarded a lot of prizes for her music. And, just to show you that I can recommend more artists than just Angelina (and Susanne Sundfør), I'll take the opportunity to give you a link to a BEAUTIFUL song by a Norwegian band called "Madrugada" with the lead singer Sivert Høyem, one of the most beautiful male voices here in Norway. And in this particular one, they actually collaborated with Ane Brun. It's a beutiful duet with Sivert and Ane, called "Lift Me", and I know for a fact that you will love it. Not kidding :-) 2nd link today coming right up : czcams.com/video/vfNXrvYuqKY/video.html
Do what you will with the links, they're all yours :-) Take care my friend! Love from Norway.
Thanks for the education! I would have never guessed she was Danish :o
Nice info! Thanks again my friend!
What's Myrkurs chorus in "Ulvinde"? Festli'e koplinger!
@@terjetroll920 I know, but I'm not aware of any connections to Norway still. Do you have any information ? But being Danish, she obviously have a weak spot for the Norwegian nature (mountains). Not too strange, as the highest point in Denmark is a mere 557 feet :-))))
@@poolhallshark She used to be a fan of norwegian (and swedish) black and death metal as a youngster, I think. Besides of nordic folk in general. Regarding the feet I hope those don't smell.
I LOVE this. She’s amazing and I would have never known about her if you hadn’t reviewed her video. Thank you.
I'm a huge fan of this album. So glad to see you reacting to it!
Hey, got here, cause Myrkur posted your video on her Instagram stories 😉 Great reaction, thank you!
Thanks so much! When you mentioned it, I reached out to her and had a nice chat! Thanks for coming over to check things out!
The vocals in the beginning is a traditional scandinavian herding call that women would use to signal to their cattle that it was time to come back from the fields.
Love your reaction. Hi from Norway. Subscribed.
And, btw, this is not the only song uploaded from the live stream concert.
The other one is Myrkur - Onde Børn (acoustic from Live Stream)
Great reaction and breakdown, lots of fantastic viking/norse and black metal music out there to dive into. Love seeing your channel take a small step in that direction!
This lady is a pop musician, this is a side project for her. Look up "under the leaves of yggdrasil" and "house carpenter" by her. Also mykur translates to darkness.
Whilst the artist hasn't released further songs from this performance the whole album is on Spotify and is wonderful. I listen to it at least once a week. Great reaction as always:)
The first few notes she does is called a "Kulning" which is a traditional Norwegian and Swedish way of calling to their herd of cows etc. Also as a way to communicate through long distances in the mountains and vast plains.
And the second video I leave a comment on is one of my absolute favorite bands! Myrkur is truly a diamond in the rough of folk/metal, especially in modern day with bands rising and falling at the tip of a hat. Again, I love your energy and your viewpoints on these songs really make your channel awesome. Off to continue watching!!
This is going on my bubble bath playlist✨😌✨
Nice!
Happy June 2. Thank you Chris. Your smile is so much needed today. 💕 to all. Hugs Patti
His reactions are a breath of fresh air :)
@@LuxFuxx Absolutely 💯. Especially during this time!!!
Thanks so much! Glad to bring you a little fun from time to time!
Amazing channel my friend. First time here and you have my full atention.
Thanks so much and enjoy the ride down the Rabbit Hole!
@@larryshair Thank you very much for the words. I recommend another song she performed live: Ramund, in the same abandoned field.
Cool change of pace.. I enjoy taking journeys out of my comfort zone... powerful sound
This was a fun one! I had a chance to chat with her today over Instagram. Pretty cool lady!
Ohh Nordic vibes! Looking forward to something new :) Thanks for sharing!
Introduced one of my friends to Aurora yesterday, she loved her!
Ok, song just kicked in, WHAT A POWERFUL VOICE!!!
That was beautiful. Her voice, the instruments, it really transports you to a different time :)
As you said, it's soft. But it's also earth shatteringly powerful
Gonna recommend what I said on Kim, but that's for me.
But if you love THIS kind of music, I'll recommend;
Mercades Lackey - Battle Dawn.

This song always gets me pumped! 😁
--------------------------------------
Previous suggestion;
"Hey, wanted to recommend some more Hopsin!
Been on a Hopsin binge recently and only just discovered this amazing track!
Hopsin - Alone with me
czcams.com/video/LsV2GWlGh-o/video.html
One of my favorite rap tropes, great meaningful lyrics, and amazing cinematography! 🤩
I know you're probably backed up to the moon. But wanted to throw this one on the list 😊
Hope you're having a good week :)
Take care!
Why did you delete your comment?
@@thenextlennon8411 cause you changed it, so it wasn't relevant anymore
Cool! Aurora, as you know, has a special place in my heart and ears!
Hi. Thank you for reacting to this song. You should visit Norway. Poolhallshark made a great comment, so I dont need to tell you more about Myrkur. But she does have more videos on CZcams ❤️❤️❤️
🤩🇩🇰 🥰 you are the best. soo beautiful her voice is incredible 🙏🏻 and so is my country 💝 wish you could understand the lyrics as well 😅 but then again it isnt even necesary when she sings with so much soul
Still waiting for eminem Beautifull pain ft sia
And love the way you lie 🙏🏻
And yea yea you are still waiting for me to put some links here 😅🙈😂 lol
Have a wonderfull day 🌞💝
that sound you think is cool that she does in the beginning is called "kulning" and is a ancient swedish herding call used to call back the cows in the evening from the fields !
Thor is Donar in the Netherlands & Germany he has rams. The English have the same gods with a slightly different name.
The Germanic languages and still somewhat close, but back in the old times they were just dialect from a common root. Frisian & old English were twins and extremely close to Danish too.
Myrkur and Eivør are the two best female Volksingers
HI dude listened to this one even though it's not Eminem,and enjoyed it, thanks
The R in the back of the tongue is a weird thing that Danes started doing after years of influence from other Germanic tribes. The R thing became popular all over Denmark and some parts in Sweden and Norway too. We still use this to the modern day.
🇳🇱👈🏻😂
@@witte_raaf ?
This reminds me of a video game called Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice.
One of the most imersive games I've played in a very long time. It's about a Norse woman who is cursed. (Plot twist, she has mental health issues and the magic is in her mind)
I'm here Sir.... here we go....
20 min later...
Whimsically magical ~ thanks buddy.
A very detailed analysis! And of a great song...maybe it was good that there were no subtitles at this point, so we could focus on the overall feel...completely agree with the storytelling part!
Really beautiful
Btw, the trill of the r you heard and noticed is normally smoothed out in the spoken language, although it might depend where she's from. It's not normally pronounced in the speech, but rather blends in with the rest of the word or sentence, it's the reason why people say it sounds like we have a potato lodged in our throats.
Correct me if i'm wrong folks. But when she said not releasing more songs, I think she was referring to this concert. As it was a ticketed live stream. There apparently are plans to release a DVD (her comments on insta) I watched this live, I'd never really liked her music before, but this folk album is incredible. the harmonies between the 3 of them are amazing.
Yes, I chatted with her once I released this and mentioned that I would love to review more of her content.
The live version is SO MUCH better than studio version !!
wow I'm so surprised someone would say that because I totally disagree! While I agree she's great on the live version the instruments are so much worse. First off in the original there was a nyckelharpa featured which sounds very distinctive and much more authentically norse, also the strings here are kind of distorted and just a bit off. The whole thing sounds much less pure and mystical, but like a muddled version of the studio version. With the original I think like I'm actually standing on top of the mountain peaks, bellow endless fjords and cold wind howling through the landscape. The live version doesn't translate that to me at all, but everyone obv has very different preferences. Not saying yours is wrong, I'm just surprised because it sounds so much better to me! I'm glad you enjoy it, both are great.
Thor didn´t ride a horse..that was Odin on his eight legged horse SLEIPNER..Thor had a wagon with 2 goats in front
I came here for your Eminem reactions, but I do also watch most of your other reactions. This is one is extra interesting to me as a Norwegian. I thought this was a Norwegian group at first when I saw the "bunad" on the girl on the album cover. A "bunad" is a traditional folk costume. Mostly used as a festive costume in modern day. The "bunad" on the album cover looks a lot like the one my girlfriend owns. Anyway, I saw that a fellow Norwegian gave a lot of information on the group and vocalist. I like the song, very relaxing!
u should look into Heilung. if ur enjoying the Nordic stuff. anything by heilung or wardruna is great
Those little drum taps sounds cool
Would you mind adding in original link to songs in your description?
You HAVE to listen to Aurora and Wardruna - Helvegen, which also is viking inspired. I know you're a fan of Aurora!
Done! It's on the channel already. Enjoy! Thanks! That was a great one!
I think the stick drums are actually little found bones! Anyway, came across your channel because Amalie from Myrkur posted your reaction to the singing intro to her Instagram story:) I'm no expert but this vocalizing intro in this song is Kulning, the old norse way of cow herding (or cow calling)! I highly recommend the entire "Folkesange" album as it is simply one of my favourites.
Btw, if I may recommend something, try Yelawolf "You and Me", he's a very interesting and specific rap/country/rock artist. All the best to you.
Nice! What’s her Instagram channel and I’ll send her a thanks!
@@larryshair it's "myrkurmyrkur":)
@@VMP666 thanks! I sent her a message.
Not my cup of tea, but still thx for the introduction 😁 looking forward too the next reaction
Fragile tech 9
Did he ever react to Witt Lowry? If not, he should check out Move On by him.
Enjoy watching your reaction videos, thank you! This one makes me wonder what you would think of The Hu - Song of Women feat. Lzzy Hale of Halestorm? Hope you can give that one a listen and reaction.
Can you please listen to dear Anxiety by Clayton Jennings
It’s a great song with a really great message
And you said you like story telling this one has a great story as well
If you want to go deeper into her music, you should check out her short videos, before she was famous.
Like when she plays the Nyckelharpa.
That is the true origin of Myrkur and nordic folk.
Did you notice that the venue is a swimming pool.
Yes! That was pretty interesting!
Hey Chris, as it seems you understand german quite well, would you like to react to german musicians (with subtitles) as well?
Best regards
Manuel
I gotta say, for this type of music and intonations, I have a difficult time picking up the words used even though I know Faroese and Danish, especially because they're likely using highly fantastical descriptive words which have been entirely forgotten throughout everyday use of the language.
Check out Heilung mate!
"Ulvinde".
Ya should check out Eminem - guts over fear
Do you know AnikV ?
Hey unrelated to this song but I felt I’d I have a better shot at being seen 😂😂but you should check out sing for the moment by eminem
Done! It's already up on the channel. Enjoy! Thanks!
@@larryshair sweet I’ll check it out! Legacy is another cool one i think you’d enjoy a lot as well! Thanks
Please do Eminem If I Had
You should react to "Jon Henrik - Daniels Jojk" from Sweden's got talent. Jojk is a type of song where you sing without words, very similar to the video above. The song "Daniels Jojk" is about Jon Henriks childhood friend who had recently passed and you can feel the chills all throughout the body. Anyways, hope you'll react to it. I know you will find it powerful :)
Oh yeah þorr víki.
React to hopsin song called fly
Kendrick Lamar reaction puuuhhhleease?
Amalie Bruun the tone of her voice is beautiful. Had to thesaurus what this brought to mind and the closest is evocative. However, while the language she is singing is lovely, Black Metal Music is not. I like to give your choices a chance because they often introduce the offbeat, unusual which otherwise would never cross my radar. So, thank you. Your reactions are a breath of fresh air, truly enjoyable. Comments on the instruments, spot on.
Day 15 asking for Tom McDonald sober pleaseee
