TAGs - Hudba
Perfection on all accounts! This has potential to win ESC!
The way she sings her "shouting notes" is from traditional Norwegian folk music and can be described as some kind of calling sound «lokk», a sound which is supposed to reach far in nature (forest or mountain) so it needs to be loud. Its kind of a Scandinavian yodling-sound used also to call for a herd (sheep, cows etc) but also a calling sound used in folk tradition or by super natural beings like the «Huldra» to «trick» humans and animals to appear in the forest/mountains.
Gåte's music style is described as Norwegian folk music that is a fusion of metal and electronica. Gåte bases their music on traditional music, vocal folk music with texts from very old times. "Ulveham" is based on a text from the Middle Ages.
The song is a story of a young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her.
A stepmother is jealous of her stepdaughter who everyone likes and thinks is very beautiful, so the stepmother tries to turn her into different things...a needle, a knife, a sword. She casts a spell on her stepdaughter. Whatever she turns her stepdaughter into, people like it, so in the end she casts a wolf spell on her and banishes her to the forest, and the only way she can get out of the bewitchment is to drink her brother's blood. Later, the evil stepmother meets the wolf out in the forest and the wolf rips out the heart of the stepmother and eats it, and then it turns out that the stepmother was pregnant with her half-brother, so she drinks her brother's blood and becomes free. It is simply about free yourself from someone who has power over you, and you do it on your own terms.
Wow, powerful
So.. it's basicly a dark early version of snowwhite...
Pretty much, it is also an example of how werewolves were portrayed in medieval norse lands. The original comment also left out that it depicts her step-mother as a troll-woman, a distinction from witches in that it was believed they got their magic from the mythical norse trolls, the disfigured brutish successors of the Jotnir (who were feared in an earlier period of the iron age), not to be mistaken for the modern cutesy trolls we have today.
This made "trollkvinner", women that practiced "trolldom" especially despised, as at the time trolls were believed to be vengeful and hateful towards the christians that were overturning the traditions of the old ways. It is worth noting that in reality the beings known as trolls likely were just christian propaganda against remnants of pagan sects, tribes and factions that survived Christian persecution.
It also glosses over the mechanism by which she is turned into a wolf, which in all fairness, the song does too. It is not some spell like "polymorph" that turns her into a wolf, but a wolf pelt, bewitched by a powerful troll curse, which she is given and either wears unknowingly, or is made to wear. She is then cursed to forever walk the forests as a she-wolf, until the day she kills her own brother. But because the curse was vague about who the brother was to be, the yet un-born step-brother qualified in place of the brother she loved. A common trope being magical loopholes and tricksy irony in these tales.
Regardless this is an amazing adaptation in song form, and gives a great view into how the story may have been told in song form in the medieval period when it most commonly would have been shared orally and may have been sung by travelling bards, minstrels and skalds.
@@ShadeOnTheUtube I just wrote what Gåte said themselves when they were asked what the song is about in an interview, but thanks for the addition. 👍
Gåte won the Norwegian song contest and has become the representatives for Norway in European song contest 2024
The instrument is a Nyckelharpa (in Swedish, where it originated) or Nøkkelharpe (in Norwegian)
Most likely it is from present day Sweden. However, as its practicing regions Härjedalen, Bohuslän and Jämtland were all once Norwegian and as native Norwegian scholars were more or less wiped out from the plague in 1349 leading to academic dark ages in Norway, the most credible sources of its origin remain Swedish. Its origin is nevertheless disputed.
If Norway selects this, they will almost certainly get a vote from me
Then the vote is over and Gåte will represent Norway.
This is exactly what i have been waiting for in Eurovision, for either Norway or Sweden to send. I haven't heard any of the other contestants this year but this is definitely my winner. I am so happy you sent this. Greetings and love from Sweden❤
My vote will go for Gåte on Saturday 🤩💖
Same! 🖤
Same!
Me too!!🎉
Definitely, I will too!
Im voting for Miia and erika
I am in love with Gåte's "Ulveham", and I really hope it will represent Norway in Eurovision! The stage presence, the singing, the lyrics, just everything is extraordinary to me. I highly recommend everyone to check out the meaning of this song, and how it is taken from an old poem or something written by Vikings ... however, Gåte must change some of the lyrics because of that ... the poem. NRK asked them to do it, but do not worry! The concept will remain the same, and I assume it is for protecting them from people calling it plagiarism or whatever if they win, which is probably why NRK waited for so long before announcing that they have to rewrite some of the lyrics, because Gåte will probably win. (It's not like it will be noticable for foreigners who don't speak Norwegian though!)
Please correct me if I said something incorrect!
Love your reaction to this, definitely double & triple overtime on the cameraman! And nice pronunciation with the Norwegian!
So happy people are getting the chance to discover this hidden gem of a band. Gåte has been a unique band in the Norwegian music scene since they came on the scene many years ago. So many good songs. Extremely talented and hard working musicians. This nomination is well deserved!
this song gives me chills every time!
I will definitely be voting for Gåte at Eurovision! Go Norway! ❤
Gååååte! ❤
SOOO GOOD!
I swear to god if this won't win imma explode or sth. After Luxembourg fumblin the bag, this has to happen.
Before the show I wanted Krick to win, afterwards I wanted Naomi or Krick to win. Tali is fine but I thought the two others were stronger contenders. Love the James Bond theme song vibe of Kricks song, and Naomi had the X factor on stage, found it captivating.
Gåte beats them all in everything though.
Gåte ❤❤❤ Amazing band ,one of the best ive seen live .
OMG as a north german with an M.A. degree, i can tell you about the instrument ^^ up to norway sweden its used since the middleages ;-) lOOOve your reaction! Tack!
Norway really wants to win!! ❤🇳🇴
Great reaction, love from Norway ❤
You should check out their discography, or react to their music videos! They have so many good songs! Been a fan of Gåte since the year 2003. Check out "Hemnarsverdet", "Sjå Attende", "Bendik og Årolilja" f.ex
I love you Americans, always so positive 😊 our language isnt spoken by many people so we have no chance of winning, but glad you liked it,😊
It won Norways selection. It will represent Norway in May
Wow... used to listen to "Gåte - Iselilja" some 20 years back, havn't heard anything about them in ages, didn't know they still played.
They had a break/hiatus for some years with focus on family life, but came back again after awhile.
So fun to see someone which does not understand norwegian react to the song 😃 The text itself is about a women getting cursed by her stepmother. She tranform the women to a wolf.only way to break the curse is for her to drink her Brother blood.
The best line you can take from this song is "I will never be holy and good" Its a song about ceeping your female stranght thru all difficuties, the lyrich are briliand, believe me!! :D As her voice!
Gåte means riddle😉🍀🌍
Is realy Good song i like it alot to smil is song of wolf voise in a mystik way smil❤
the "not usual for norway" is exactly why they won the televote so hard we are tired of stuck remakes of 90`s pop songs like keiinos haha
it’s on!
The story is 1000 years old and is about her being cursed to live alone as a lone wolf by her stepmom because of jealousy.It's a longer story and a twist. So the song is full of sorrow and rage and also relief. I would advise ppl to Google the story.
I listened so much to Gåtes album Jygri in 2004-05, and still listen to it often. I also really liked their newer single Kom No Diskja. If you like this style I recommend you check it out.
Omg Gåte won!!!!!❤
Not a Eurovision guy at all, but you can't get more Norwegian than this :)
Gåte will win for Norway. And that instrument is Nøkkelharpe, -Key Harp. Old traditional Norwegian folk instrument
Ulveham means...Skin layer that, according to popular belief, a werewolf uses
Not warewolf. In the song the mother gave her daughter the look and appearance of a wolf. A nuanced difference.
@@elowyn9664 in the song.. yes , but the meaning of the word is as i wrote
Ulv - Wolf
Ham - Skin
It means wolfskin
Love it
My gosh, I love your voice, you should make ASMR-videos! 👍🏻
The songs for the national Icelandic selection, Söngvakeppnin has dropped and some of them are really fire. Please react to them after you've done Norway 🇮🇸🔥
This is the swedish instrument to is the colled nyckelharpa.
the instrument is a "Langeleik" , norwegian origin
This has to win, or Miia, because Keiino is not it this year.
So if my translation is correct, it’s about a beautiful young woman, who’s mother died when she was born. Her brother is also dead and her stepmother asked her to go to the Kings castle and get fighting gear so she could revenge her brother. The kings gard gave her everything she asked because they liked her (the best). She also got dressed in wolf-fur. She red into the forest and met 9 riding women. Her stepmother also came riding. She killed the person who killed her brother (the woman in blue coat), ripped her heart out, and got her revenge («drink my brothers blood»).
Please correct me or add more Iif you have a different analysis:)
PS: The coolest part is this is a more than 1000 years old Norwegian folk-tale from the stoneage and possibly a true story!
It was her evil step mother who transformed her into a wolf. The only way to stop the curse was to drink her brother's blood.
You need to react to "Hanoi Rocks - Back to mystery city - live at marquee 1983"
They have to rewrite this song NRK has announced
Why ?
only a few lines as they are from a 1000 year old text. There won't be any noticeable difference for the vast majority of listeners.
what makes me worried is that nrk literally announced this A WEEK before the final? didn't they notice it before? anyways 12 points from finland!!!!
In 3 februar is The final smil.
@@tosvusit was the whole song right??
You should see the finals for the best staging.
Listen
LUNA - The Tower
Eurovizjon 2024 Poland
I prefer Margaret Berger with the song Oblevion ❤
Based on a 1000 year old song...
Poem. Not song.
Hey, do a reaction please to the song submitted to the Polish preselection for Eurovision 2024 !!!!!
I am very interested in your reaction and opinion. 🔥🔥🔥Serpents - Hourglass (Official Video) 🔥🔥🔥
The video clip is amazing !!!!!! This song could be a great banger this year !!!!!
I think it's not what you could expect to see and hear 🙂🙂🙂
Another stand out song is 🌀Krystian Embradora - REBEL (Official Music Video)🌀It seems to have everything that is needed for Eurovision.
A very cool songs are also:
Common People - Slow down
Stasiek Kukulski - World of Liars (Eurovision 2024 POLAND) - the boy is only 16 years old
SPLEENN - Omen - Exclusive Audio | Eurovision 2024
Justyna Steczkowska Witch-er
Luna The Tower
I highly recommend listening to them also !!!!!!!!!!!👋👋👋👋👋
thats a "nyckelharpa".....
1000 year old .
"This sounds like a 2000s rock band"
Gåte was established in 1999 and disbanded in 2005 after winning multiple awards and getting cult status and critical acclaim for popularizing Norwegian folk
plss react to you’re mine by mileo
The special instrument is called "Nøkkelharpe" (Norway) or "Nyckelharpa" (Sweden). Instrument used in both countries.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyckelharpa
just because its culture and historic music style and shit doesnt mean it sounds good. The song is also so HARD to sing she gets voice cracks a lot, impressed she even manages to sing it so well. Men kulturen vår høres ut som en måse som blir trukket på
