The "low resolution" works. It gives you an ethereal appearance and the birds are the perfect accompaniment. This entire performance is hauntingly beautiful.
If I had her look and her amazing voice, I'd constantly wander in forests and sing just so people who walk into the forest can find me and enjoy the moment
People like Myrkur should be employed for that very purpose.Walking in the forest is damned near perfect as it is.Running into someone like her & listening for a couple of songs before going on one's way would make the final touch of beauty.
Funny story, I once decided to go out to a secluded little forest and wander about playing my flute and I soon noticed that there were a LOT of squirrels there. So I made it a daily routine to go there and play to the squirrels. Eventually the squirrels began to get used to my presence and one day a squirrel crawled down from the safety of the trees and reached out his little paw. I put out a finger as well and the squirrel grabbed my finger and we essentially shook hands. I thought this was cool as beans, but apparently someone happened to be wandering by and they saw the whole ordeal happen. A month later, I found out that they went to my high school and they thought they were hallucinating the whole time. I was asked if I was supposed to be some sort of forest nymph or whatnot. I also gained the endearing nickname "squirrel boy".

Excuse the low film resolution and the loud birds. The song is 'I riden så'. There are multiple versions of this old song, my favorite is this one in the style of Gjallarhorn. The instrument is a Mandola.
@@Finlandpro1Tolkien was really into languages. In particular he loved the way certain languages sounded, that there was an inherent beauty in the sounds of the words. His Elvish languages were constructed on this principle, to sound beautiful. His favorite real human languages in this respect were Welsh and Finnish, and the Elvish languages contained elements of both.
@@serenas3700 Serena Myr It sure is! We were taught this song at the morning assembly of my... "free"school (Danish concept, I don't how to translate proper) yay! ^_^ I'm so utterly grateful for having learned these ancient songs at that school!🙏 Especially when knowing what brainless children's music is usually being taught at the conventional schools here! 😅...
That's a swedish song and here is the translation: O, woe is me, woe is me, what do I behold I see my daughter coming to me O, Silibrant spread out her cloak so blue And upon it she did bear two bold baby boys I shall give my father my gray steed So he can ride to the church upon it I shall give my sister my seven golden rings That I have never worn since I was a bride I shall give my brother my small gloves That he shall take with him wherever he goeth One child they took to Freya's baptism The other they took to the hall of Valhalla.
Wow a really useful post! The lyrics are even more beautiful and mysterious than I imagined. But I’m still having a hard time figuring out what the song is about since there seems to be so much symbolism line by line that I don’t understand. Is it about a mother or father saying their daughter had two boys and one died (went to the halls of Valhalla?)
If you watch closely it looks like the cameras picture lags a bit when her head moves, gives a ghostly effect, it makes it look even more like she’s a Nordic spirit out there singing in the forest 😍
My 8 year old son over heard me playing this and said, "is that a Viking singing?" Of all the sounds around him at that point it was your voice in the back ground that caught his attention. You sing with the spirits of our ancestors and the purity of a child's heart could hear it clearly. Thank you for the upload.
Utterly beautiful,enchanting & connecting.The songbirds just add an extra element of natural feeling to the performance.These woodland pieces of traditional European music are truly wondrous.They touch something deep & ancient within my psyche.
Nice to be now in Denmark and feel your folk from deep spirit of this land . I was trying to meet Skandinavia in my heart, and magically I am here. Wish to belong . I am from Ukraine, but I search my roots also here. Wish really to meet you , and magical people like you , that opens the doors to a spirit). I draw , and dance with your music
I just wish to hear you singing in the forest and sit in front of you.... I saw you only one time in live in France and it was so amazing, one of my best live in 14 festivals
Are you kidding me?! This is amazing! Just purely beautiful. Your hear this kind of singing, but you hardly ever get to see the person truly singing it, this is how I know you're so unbelievably good, because we just saw you sing it, in a forest!
MMORPG games which involve such grinding through the wild forests of an ancient world are the reason pure music such as this is involved in such a thing, so beautiful, thank you
That is interesting, when I bought the first Myrkur Ep back in 2014, I believe that the band was listed as Norwegian. Might have been due to Myrkur was still an Anon and released her material under a pseudonym. I could be misremembering though, and thought that it was a Norwegian project since some lyrics I believe were in norwegian.
That might be, tbh i don't remember much from when she first started making music under Myrkur, but Amalie Bruun is Danish, and it is possible that it was listed as Norwegian because some of the studio musicians were Norwegian, i don't know though, you might be right that it was just to cement the whole anonymous pseudonym since she was fairly well known in Denmark as a model/singer/songwriter specificly making pop music for commercial use, f.ex. she made and recorded the title melody to the Danish version of paradise hotel (or "honey, i think i lost some IQ" as i like to call it)
Why are there so many comments saying, "What if I heard this in the woods?" Me, I'm headed towards it, because this absolutely peaceful, beautiful and mesmerizing. I would think I must have died and now I was in the after life.
je ne me lasse pas de cette ritournelle, cette atmosphère avec les oiseaux qui accompagnent mélodieusement cette magnifique voix de muse si charmante 💞😍💞
Beyond words! At a time when many make such acculturated pastiches, such samples of high quality folk art of ancestral cultures is an utter blessing. Tusend tak and much respect from Brazil to beloved Denmark and blessed be those who preserve its true culture!

Agreed.
Yes, it should be in lower resolution and with more birds.
Healthy forest.
I love birds singing with you in that majestic forest. Beautiful song.
Those are blackbirds and they are really mad, either at some other blackbird, predator or someone playing Mandola at their place ;)
What is your avatar from?
I could imagine someone accidently hear you sing and just think that it's some ancient norse skald's ghost singing the songs of old times.

No worries! The music is the most important thing, and as said by some others, the birds strengthen the performance! :)
Believe me, the forest sound *does* fit into the music perfectly
Hei du!
@@randibuckley helo du!
Actually i think bird's contribution was brilliant.
Animals actually will sing along with music in their own way.

Imagine hearing her voice while walking in the forest
This is how the hulder lure their prey. Kiss your earthly life goodbye.

That's a swedish song and here is the translation:
O, woe is me, woe is me, what do I behold
I see my daughter coming to me
O, Silibrant spread out her cloak so blue
And upon it she did bear two bold baby boys
I shall give my father my gray steed
So he can ride to the church upon it
I shall give my sister my seven golden rings
That I have never worn since I was a bride
I shall give my brother my small gloves
That he shall take with him wherever he goeth

And if she were, would it make a difference? Therefore I'm certain she is!
The bird in the end..

It was getting hysterical right there!
It was saying, "We remember that song, from long ago."

Det er det Tanja. Men lær ham om de gamle guder ikke en sang.

thank you for singing in the forest between trees and birds :))
The timing with the birds at the end is just perfect.
