I absolutely adore them and you can clearly see they have such love each other and it really shows in their performance! Really hoping they get to Eurovision this year
I love how Fred’s joik and rap is thoughtfully interspersed throughout this song, as if he is the voice from all those who left us, leaving us messages and thoughts while we carry on.
i really didn’t know what to expect and the song turned out to be literally amazing. idk why but my eyes got wet just few seconds into the song🥺 it’s so powerful. i’m rooting for them so much❤️
As someone who wasn't part of the hype for Spirit in the sky, I actually really like this. It's quite contemporary and nice to listen to. I would support this song if it went to eurovision 😊
I think this song is THE ONE. WINNER OF EUROVISION. It gives me Euphoria or Arcade feel. Right into my heart. 10000000000 points from Russia. Go Keiino ♥️
I have absolutely no idea what happened, but around 3:38, after that high note, _something_ in this song caused me to just absolutely tear up. I'm so glad he mentioned the need for tissues, cause at least that meant I wasn't the only one, hahaha. Amazing sound, this song had me within its first few seconds. Beautiful sentiment in the lyrics too. I'm still crying. Heck, from a Dutch person, please let this come to Rotterdam ❤
KEiiNO has done it yet again, they find a way to attach a deep interpersonal but inspiring message through their lyrics and joik interludes with a easy accessible Euro-Pop/Electropop beat. And to what William said about "Spirit In The Sky" being not juvenile I agree, "Spirit In The Sky" being inspired by Norwegian Folklore and history with a Eurovision feel. "Monument" is what happens when a artist/group evolves with their audience, its still true to their original sound and following without being phony. "Monument" is the best effort from the Norwegians since "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak in 2009. The song has instant appeal from the jump and continues until the closing chords, the message of a eternal legacy lasting even after you are long gone is very poignant and magnanimous especially in the very challenging times we live in currently. This song will give a lot of comfort and reassurance to those who have lost loved ones throughout the pandemic and from other causes. This song is the winner of MGP 2021 and perhaps the winner of Eurovision 2021, we could be going to Trondheim , Lillehammer or maybe even Bergen.
I so much agree with you William. I could not say it better. Monument is the warm blanket in these hard times. I hope so much this is going to be the Norwegian entry and I am sure this will do great!!! Love it! Thunder and gloriaaaaa
THUNDER AND GLORIA! I love that part. Her high note gives me the chills. I could see this being a jury favourite this time around. ESC 2021 is exciting. And I can't wait to see how Norway votes!!!!
First time i listened to it i was like.. sure, but not better than spirit in the sky.. After 15 times or so im obsessed with it! Its magical and i love it.
I think this is way better than Spirit in the Sky. The one thing I think should change is that Tom should lead into the second verse, then have Alex come in a bit later. Other than that THIS IS AMAZING
This song made me wanna scream the first time I heard it. The more I listen to it, the more it hits my feelings 🥺 I LOVE THEM. And I want this to WIN SO BAD ❤️
This group is one of those once in a generation groups that are so much bigger than Eurovision. I can see them breaking through the global mainstream music scene and taking their groundbreaking sound to elevate popular music the way groups like ABBA did, or even the way Clannad was able to reinvent and popularize Irish traditional music. They have bona-fide international star quality to me, and I am excited to watch them continue growing their sound!
Yeah, that's my only criticism. With Spirit in the Sky, and their other songs, he has solo parts, but here he only sings with her... feels like he's been relegated.
You will hear him better when you see the performance live. He is actually singing together with A all the time. But her vice is stronger on a higher frequency so that’s why. I’m looking forward to see then perform live tonight 🇳🇴
I have listened to KeiiNO a lot and so going into this I was a fatigued with their sound - so first listen didn't do much but then it grew on me and I examined the words -it hits the mood of the moment. Right from the start Fred stood out in this - before I liked the song I liked his contribution. He had a surprise element to his performance in Spirit In the Sky. Here he has moved into a key foundation for the song he is so esoteric and atmospheric - he underpins the song and drives it forward.
Obsessed with this song!!!! They all sound amazing🥰 Alexandra’s high note near the end is everything🤩 So happy KEiiNO are back. Love your reaction William💕💕💕 MY WINNERS!!!!!
BTW: I heard that "thunder and gloria" is an ancient norse SOS to Odin, if you are lost. Then Odin responds by sending his ravens to guide you into safety. Quite beautiful and deep...
I think this is REALLY good. I loved spirit in the sky so it was hard to be even better than that, but they're definitely on a par for me! Good luck KEiiNO!
Is amazing when you known only 1 song (Albania) but when Norway pick this you know who is the winner Another masterpiece from the best band in the world I really hope KEiiNO is back Big kisses to all Norwegian who's vote for this. Love 🇵🇱❤ 🇳🇴
I'm Norwegian, and although I am not Sami, I feel an extreme sense of pride when listening to KEiiNO. I get chills all thru my body when I hear this clash of joik-rapping and singing. They deserve a win, but first, they need to get through the local finals.
Omg , the song is so cathy , and good, i have it on repeat, again and again, also in my head, that is a hit for me., KEIINO..,bring the 2021 new vibe..good luck, Norway...
The Sami part is probably also a homage to his legacy and the Samii people. That their paths are still visible, and their legacy will last even though Norway tried to eradicate their culture (a shameful part of our history).
I havent heard any other song compiting against keiino but I do not think they could transmit what keiino made me feel with this song. What a masterpiece, i need them to be on eurovision
also, the World music shelf is so unfair... It's like putting joik and you know, chants from Tibet, throat singing, everything that is not pop, rock, jazz... in the same box and throwing it with a very generic label in the basement. This is why LOVE what KEiiNO do with joik, incorporating it in mainstream songs, getting it out of the shelf, teaching it to children, raising awareness for its existence (well, yesterday I learned that the church literally banned joiking because sounded like pagan chants and prayers (?)). This is public service. KEiiNO, this portuguese lady is with you in everything you do
I hope we will spend one more time with Keiino in ESC, because all the times we spend together becomes a minor symphony ❤️ "In your voice I feel it coming back to me Like a shadow whisper in the night Like a monument to all the time we spent A minor symphony"
There is joik. There is rap. There is singing. There is everything. MY WINNERS ❤❤❤
Celebrating diversity ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly! 😍
Everything except a hook , sigh
@Jonathan Laurin absolutely true! I would never vote for that song as well
I realised if KEiiNO wins MGP and ESC,Duncan will hand them the trophy!
It would be 2019 reunion on stage!
That’s a brilliant point!!!
indeed ,that is so true. and they were friends during the 2019 season. would be great!
Spirit in the sky was good, but this is literally a MASTERPIECE!! ❤

@@viennakendrick taste! 🙌👏
This is certainly giving off winner vibes. Never expected it to be better than Spirit in the Sky
I see the spirit...in Monument 🤩
this did not age well
norway won't age well in eurovision this year
I absolutely adore them and you can clearly see they have such love each other and it really shows in their performance! Really hoping they get to Eurovision this year
Love what you said, Roly! Totally agree with you. That love between them is REAL!
They are so gooood, and that high note gives me actual chills every time like WOW!
That is a winning moment!
I freaking love keiino, and I love this song, hope it wins 💖💖
I am excited to watch the video with you guys!
I agree 100% This song is like a warm blanket that makes you feel all cozy
You can tell how long Will has been living in the UK when he said “you know what?” 😂
where's he originally from? US or Canada?
I was going to say the exactly same thing..!!

this is not only winning the final in Norway. I think they will win Eurovision 2021. this is sooooo good!
#OpenUp to KEiiNO 🌈
I also thinkit will do good in esc. my consern as a Norwegian is that Norway willfuck this up in the national woting
Yesss! It will be a strog battle between Keiino (Norway) and Dotter (Sweden)
I cried the first time I heard the song. As swedish as I am. I want KEiiNO to win this year.

There wasnt a hype before the final. Spirit in the sky was very underrated by eurovision fans, i was very glad they smashed the televote
same
@@vaskop946 There was a hype within the Eurovision community. It was already clear, but I didn't like it at that time. I do like this new one.
I think this song is THE ONE.
WINNER OF EUROVISION.
It gives me Euphoria or Arcade feel. Right into my heart.
10000000000 points from Russia. Go Keiino ♥️
Wait till there’s at least 2 songs selected then you can talk about winners. We have only Albania’s song so far . I think it’s way to early

I know they haven’t won their national selection yet but I can already tell their going to win it and make it very far at Eurovision! Top 5 for sure!
Atleast there’s some spending positivity💓✨🥺
We will definitely see KEiiNO in Rotterdam 🥰
Yes and Oslo one year later

Obviously 12pts from Sweden 🇸🇪💪
Yes, a potential winner. Instantly likeable. 👍🏻
You bring the sun out! :) Lovely reaction as always! Thank you from Norway
Thank you for watching and commenting Elin! I am glad you have found your winner!
I agree. This could have won Eurovision. So sad Norway didn't pick them to go 💔
@Swayways Yeah
This is my winner!
Winner vibes all the way omg 😍😍😍
Everything about this is a masterpiece🥰
I'm in love with them all over again.
Thanks for the sweet in-depth reaction
I wish there were more of Tom's voice.

If you listen to the MGP Version from 16.01.2021, Tom`s got a lot more room. Brilliant!
I LOVED your examples of epic movies xD
and I LOVE KEiiNO AND THEIR SONG
Thank you Eden!!
Firstly I said good but no spirit in the sky . But now yes song is so quality and have advantage .

WINNNNNEEEEEERRRRRR 🏆🏆
I have goosebumps everytime when i listen this masterpiece, I Love it❤
That’s a great endorsement 🤩
Spirit in the sky was out of this world to me and I never thought it could be out done. Well I was proven wrong😂
This song is my potential winner is so catchy and emotional I love this
I love this song sooo much!
I hope they win (MGP first then ESC). This sounds epic and heartwarming at the same time! Whoever can vote for this, please vote. ❤️❤️
I'm loving that cat at the back. 🐈 😺

never thought Norway could be doing a song better than Spirit in the Sky, but holy fucking shit, this gives me shivers
This has to win. I think this will win the whole contest if Norway send this masterpiece 😍😍
I mean I LOVE spirit in the Sky but I think this is even better, it makes the hairs on the back of the arms stand! It’s a beautiful song!
I love thissss!!! Love 🇳🇴 from 🇮🇱

Can't wait too see them live. They for sure have my vote in the national finale, I can't imagine something better coming along.
Is amazing when you known only 1 song (Albania) but when Norway pick this you know who is the winner
Another masterpiece from the best band in the world I really hope KEiiNO is back
Big kisses to all Norwegian who's vote for this. Love 🇵🇱❤ 🇳🇴
I wish we Estonians had something as magical as the Sami yoik. The song definitely feels royal.
But you have "We could have been beautiful" and "The Lucky One" I LOVE THEM BOTH
Being super honest and objective.. The deserve the first place with spirit in the sky and def.. this Monument song is winner material too
I'm Norwegian, and although I am not Sami, I feel an extreme sense of pride when listening to KEiiNO. I get chills all thru my body when I hear this clash of joik-rapping and singing. They deserve a win, but first, they need to get through the local finals.
That's really lovely to hear. Thank you!

The Sami part is probably also a homage to his legacy and the Samii people. That their paths are still visible, and their legacy will last even though Norway tried to eradicate their culture (a shameful part of our history).
They are definitely worthy of the win. I really hope they have a Dima Bilan comeback, rather than an Alexander Rybak comeback.
I know what you mean but Rybak's 15.th place in ESC 2019 is not bad with 41 songs competing.
Love Keiino😍😍😍
kitten and William approved!
😂😂😂
I am so proud to be Norwegian. KEINO FOR WIN😀😍😍❤
We’ve sorta been switching between the Eurovision winner being YAAAAS and emotional but this has both parts
The Winners!! 😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯👌👌👌👌

This has everything - it is just a masterpiece! I never really got the hype of Spirit in the Sky, but I love everything about this! Oslo 2022?
That was interesting you'd got the joik translated. TY. I absolutely adore this song.
When i heared this song for the first time i said it can be winner of 2021. but after few weeks they lost MGP........ so sad Norway......
😭
This didn’t qualify? Norway what have you done? OMG!! Devastated. Condolences from Ireland. ☘️
Love it!!! Looooooonnngggg way to go to see if it wins both MGP and ESC but it’s at least in there with a strong chance! Proud Keiino-stan here! 🥰
I do really appreciate this song!
I’m gonna vote for them. No doubt!!!!!
Definitely got some feels from this one. Also love your cat!
Our 2022 Oslo tickets should be ready. Because this song should end up with first place! I loved Monument!
Oslo 2022. This song is EPIC
the only thing I don't like is that Tom Hugo doesn't have his own part in this song.
I havent heard any other song compiting against keiino but I do not think they could transmit what keiino made me feel with this song. What a masterpiece, i need them to be on eurovision
YAS! I love the song🤩
Can't decide whether I prefer Keiino or Jorn!! Norway rocks this year.
Norway is definitely bringing the heat 🔥
keino for the win
Keino for norway 2023 please
HOLY SHIT, it’s hard to impress me but THIS IS MAGIC
