you could drown in this music... probably | Vocal Coach Reaction/Analysis EIVOR "Falling Free"

- Welcome to today's video breaking down the incredible voice of Eivor in her performance of Falling Free. The storytelling in this song vocally as well as enough musical layers to drown in truly seal the deal on this musical experience. It's hard to tell whether the musical experience or the at times otherworldly vocal choices of Eivor is my favourite part.

This is not my first time listening to Eivor but it is my first time hearing her voice in this song. For those of you who like to feel things building as they listen to music this is the song for you. Fans of M83, Aurora and Florence and the Machine will enjoy this... maybe... probably. Let me know in the comments if you did. - Zábava
Love how the synth is like an ocean of sound on a dark night, the drums are like distant thunderclaps, and her voice is like a bird flying through the stormy skies, this moment gliding on the currents, and the next moment beating with its wings to cut through the winds with power.[
Coming from a 48 yr old metalhead.... This may be the BEST song you've done so far!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!
She's playing at Mitsgardblot metal festival later this year, and she's appeared with Einar as part of Wardruna. So she's definitely an honorary member of the metal family.
@@davidcoverdale722 Yeah she's metal-adjacent for sure. Also a ton of overlap in the fanbase.
I'm a metalhead and this song takes your soul away its beautiful
There is so much metal in Eivör at see was in Wacker Open air 2023!
Almost 48year old metalhead here in love with EIvor and this song. Breathtaking.
The "yodel" you hear is Joik :) A way of singing among the samis. It is fantastic to hear. In the Swedish talent show Talang (swedish for talent, our "got talent" show) we had a guy called Jon Henrik Fjällgren that performed a joik called Daniels Jojk. It is a joik that came to him while sitting outside his friend Daniels cabin mourning his death. Soooo emotional, you should check it out! WARNING! Tears may show up during that
Oh I agree, it would be awesome to get your reaction to this song Julia!
Wonderful reaction and analysis, thank you!
I really love Eivor's live performance, Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin) from 2013.
Just her voice and a drum.
yep that and Salt live at the Train yard is fantastic as well sung in her native tongue - czcams.com/video/IW8jTpb5EpY/video.html
Yes ! Julia should react to this live !
@ Special song, special vocalizations, special surroundings.
@ Oh yes, I second that !
@@alanfoster6589 Yep, everything about it is just... special
I just saw Eivør last week and she ends the concerts with this song, and let me tell you... I think she has even gotten better! Amaahzing! Really enjoyed this, thanks!
How... does one improve on this?
I mean, I don't dispute what you say. I just can't comprehend how she could top this.
@@VastyVastyVoid I mean, if you check on her live song " true love", the latest renditions are extraordinary and way better than the ones when she was younger! She adds so much more adlibs now and is wonderful.
even Maria Franz of Euzen (and also of Heilung) acknowledges Eivor as among if not the best at this time..and Maria herself is no mediocre belter. the past two decades, these two are making impressive music and we might not be seeing many more decades from them. im glad u helped in spreading these impressive creations through your vocal analysis. your detailed tonal impressions without going too technical about it is engaging and very helpful.
I've seen her live 4 times and every time she just blew everyone away. The audience in 2 club were full of musicians/singers and everyone was in awe of her singing capabilities. She makes it look so easy and her voice control is simply out of this world. Please go see her live if possible.
There are some performances that get me embarrassingly misty and give me shivers every. single. time. Even after dozens of listens. This is one of them. So glad you finally got to hear it -- it obviously hit the same way!
Eivør is amazing ❤️
The amount of control she has over her voice is gorgeous. She even did a very impressive Kate Bush cover of Hounds of Love
Both Eivør and Kate Bush have that ethereal, elemental, otherworldly vibe about them. They are so beautiful and their voices are sublime. I swear they could control the weather with their voices. Gorgeous and so emotional, they both give me goosebumps. I grew up listening to Kate Bush, I found the music of Eivør from The Last Kingdom series.
I do love this performance by Eivor but I enjoyed the drummer on this. He's in a world of his own. An ecstatic performance.
I love this performance. It is a vocal masterpiece. I have recommended it on so many voice coach channels, but very few have reacted to it. No idea what they are missing.
Eivor is soooo good. I love her. Seeing her at Midgardsblot this August.
Gonna see her in Hamburg in october.
I cannot tell you how times I have listened to this version, it still breaks me every time …… she is one of the best artist of our generation far as I’m concerned, more of this please 🤘
What a great coincidence! I was just listening to Eivør singing "May It Be" from Lord Of The Rings at a gala for Queen Margrethe II of Denmark along with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. You made my day with this reaction, thank you Julia.
...where Queen Margrethe II honoured her to be a "Knight of the danish empire". So we should greet her now as "Dame Eivør".
Love this song and this performance!
...and the words, "I've been looking for you in every part of me". Just wow...
Thank you Julia for introducing me to this wonderful artist / song. Wow. Reminds me a little bit of Kate Bush (when she goes into her higher register).
Eivør did a great cover of Hounds of Love, if you like Kate Bush! Couldn't recommend her more, she's amazing ❤️
@@jesslleonart Thanks. I'll look for it. Loved Kate back in the day.
@@jesslleonart I found it. Great cover. Loved it. thanks
If you want to dig a little deeper and be taken back a thousand years you could check out her singing the theme for The last kingdom (the tv-show based on Bernard Cornwells books). Here is a pandemic live-version: czcams.com/video/p4EicActiWg/video.html
I love this song. Actually I love everything about Eivor:)
The "singing" around the 13 minute mark is, or sound a lot like something that we used to do in Scandinavia, to translate it it will be called " Cow Calling "
So when the cows had been grassing in the hills and mountains and it was time to return a girl from the farm or village would go out and sing this " Cow Calling ".. and there are YT videos about it, and its really haunting and pretty to listen to.
And yes it is actually a real thing.
Hi! Thank you for reacting to Eivor, she's so underrated! i love her music so much.
I think, Eivor is in the same vein as floor when it comes to versatility in vocal technic? I mean, she loves to discover her voice and to study different types of voices, etc.
Another AMAZING live perfomance form her is " Wake me up " :
czcams.com/video/av-AvDEKJnc/video.html
Hope you and everyone enjoy it! :D
Awesome reaction!.
Shes done some coop with norwegian band Vamp. When she did Trodlabundin it was in a Vamp consert. And yes we who love Aurora also like Eivor. Vamp me and wife has seen in many conserts also😎👍
Eivør has a special place in my soul. Listening to her singing her more folk sounding work and the music fom The last kingdom tv-show takes my imagination on a journey (allthough I like just about everything shes done) . I find it very inspiring and it makes me want to got to my studio and put paint on a canvas.
I’ve waited 6 years, after posting so many commmest across CZcams, for this song , this version, this video , to be reacted to. I thank you so much for this and your brilliant input and breakdown
My favorite song by her. This version is a very emotional listen. Glad you enjoyed it.
Eivor is amazing. She sung on a cd by Anders Hagberg called "Stenristarna" in 2008 i think it was. I use that sountrack to many of my flyfishingfilms on the tube.Thanks for reacting to this wonderful singer.
Simply beautiful. I lost track of the number of chills I experienced listening to this. Wow.
Thanks for the shout-out for the sound guys. The invisible magicians who hold it together and allow the musicians to create their magic.
You need to do a reaction to Eivør’s live performance of her song Wake Me Up. Omg, it’s amaaaazing 😱
everything Eivør is very, very good.
there was supposed to be a 'does' in there, but you know, it still works, I shall leave it.
The finest live performance I have seen. It’s one of my all time favorites and I was so excited to see you reacting this song on your channel.
This went straight in my music library. Wonderful bit of music. Nice to hear Julia's pipes too. When do we hear you sing more oh siren of the 'Tube?
I have just given a listen to some of her stuff, including older songs - she's GOOD!
This must be one of my favorite songs ever. It is so loaded with emotion, the voice is so powerful yet so under control, and then unleashes right at the climax... You can tell she (Eivor) is so deep inside the song that this live version is, to me, even better than the studio version. Soooo much quality, I love it.
BTW: check Eivor's cover of Summertime (Gershwin). Absolutely astonishing.
I always come back to Eivor. This is so mesmerising. Have her album and literally everything she does is mind blowing.
You should react to her song Trøllabundin! I won't spoil it but her performance is insane. I recommend the live version outside in the grass!
Thanks for showing me a new singer to obssess over, J.
I'm a metalhead, and Eivor is one of my favourite non metal singers. I also love her traditional "folk" influenced style songs that she sings in her native Faroese language.
I highly recommend reacting to her song Trodlabundin live in Norway. If mother earth could sing, it would sound like this song haha it's like walking through an enchanted forest. She uses a traditional style of throat singing as well that is mind blowing 😁 link - czcams.com/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/video.html
Glad to see you covering this particular piece of her performances catalogue.
Also glad you liked it.
To me Eivor feels like she is a modern Kate Bush of sorts.
The always magical Eivor!
Have a listen to another of her unique songs ...
Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin) - czcams.com/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/video.html
Hmmm ... must be time to visit Aurora again ...
In English Tròdlabùndin means Spellbound. Probably not a more fitting name for the song and performance.
@@RenThraysk tròdlabùndin isn’t a word. Trøllabundin, however, translates to spellbound in English ;)
Her concerts are an experience.
I watched Eivor live in Uppsala a few years ago and it was amazing!
FINALY!!!!!
I've been waiting for a reaction to this artist and song for SOOOO long!
Thank you Julia!!!!
Eivor is an AMAZING artist! Her voice and music is fenomenal.
I've had the pleasure of meeting her in person and she is as sweet and wonderful
as her music. When you see her live you don't listen to the music, you experience it!
You feel it go right through you. It touches your soul.
Like you said, it is out of this world to hear her sing live.
Pliz react to more Eivor!!!
Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin)
czcams.com/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/video.html
This is as basic and native as it gets!
Be safe
Björn
You are totally right. Eivør's concerts are something out of this world 💙
Amazing video. Awesome song. But seeing how in trance you got in the song was great. That eye roll. What music is for when it hits differently.
Yay Eivor! She's so good. We can always use more Eivor.
I love seeing her get exposure. She's been around so long but is the definition of irresistible talent. She lived in such a remote area but the internet slowly helped people know her. She was never marketed and didn't rise fast. But everytime she spreads its people stunned by how good she is. Up till the point games like God of War decided they need her.
She is hypnotic... her voice is the best ever to fall asleep to!
If you want call of the soul, you must react to Trodlabundin. I love your description of ‘laying in a bed of sound’, that was perfect.
I am 100% backing up everyone who already recommended you check out Eivor performing Trodlabundin. I'm surprised you haven't, most vocal coaches react to that one first. It'd mesmerizing!! I also saw someone recommence Jon Henrik Fjällgren - Daniels Jojk, and I also stand by that. It's beautiful, emotional piece of music.
Great analysis really insightful - the vocalizations seems to be a Faroese folk thing (at least she’s from there and uses it sometimes) but to me it’s very reminiscent of Native American (or First Nations in Canada) vocalizations. Regardless, Eivor is almost always in my playlist. Hope you get to more at some point :-)
I think the vocalizations which you have in mind are those which remind of the traditional chanting of the Sami people (who live scattered among the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia) which is called Joik (and has already been mentioned by several people in the comments) it is indeed very reminiscent of Native American vocalizations. I've already mentioned the Norwegian singer Mari Boine and two of her songs in my post a few comments below. Fun fact (since you mentioned the First Nations in Canada): Mari Boine has done a cover version of the song "Eagle Man/Changing Woman" by the Canadian singer Buffy Sainte-Marie. Here's a live-version of this cover from 2004 (video quality is poor, but the sound is good): czcams.com/video/SjKEl6BbaZI/video.html
Great reaction as always and it looks like I've found a new artist to find out about :)
Definalty one of her Best Live Performances ever recorded......please React to DARKHER and ALEAH STANBRIDGE (R.I.P.) ....Vocals you wont ever forget again.....
Just amazing❤️
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this one! I love Eivor's music so so much and this one is one that just always slays me.
Eivør my beloved! I really hope you'll react to more of her songs because her voice is just pure magic! I was at her concert in November and she sounds so so good live!
Forgive me, but many times that I hear Eivor I experience what I call Eivorgasms. Is anyone with me?
great video as always, she's very talented and I can see you're in your element reacting to her. also that high note in the bloopers hahaha . love it
Another awesome one, Julia! :)
To my knowledge like almost all of the female vocals in the (originally BBC for first two seasons) Netflix series "The Last Kingdom" are done by Eivor
Yes they are, and she even start as part of an army of woman if I'm not wrong, she play the drum and sang too.
@@rosegoi360 She's at the very beginning of Season 5 Ep 1 if I remember, with Brida
Yes, and the full album is on spotify. And some live perfomances from home on CZcams, for example: czcams.com/video/p4EicActiWg/video.html
Yay, I've been waiting for a reactor to do this performance!!
I'm so lost why are none of the popular voice coach analysis channels reacted to tears of gold cover by danelyna from agt 2020 the voice blown me away last one to do that was Floor Jansen
Love your analysis
I discovered this lady through the soundtrack for The last kingdom tv series....after the great books by Bernard Cornwell.
Why I haven't heard her before I don't know, but I already have a couple of cd's and she's on my bucket list to see live....just wow, what an artist.
I honestly feel like I’m about to cry
The analysis was wonderful; even moreso just seeing someone enjoying a song so much...fantastic.
Just love her voice 💞💞💞 Perfect 💞💞💞
I enter Julia's videos just to get greeted by such a beautiful lady😅 thank you for the positivity and the joy you spread through your smile 😄
I Tokuni is another beautiful song of Eivor
Thanks for this reaction -- you introduced me to Eivor. Priceless! I find the music part kind of reminds me of the background music for Twin Peaks.
Theres a lot of Kate Bush's sound style in this one..
Trollabunden ..by the Fjiord is another classic but more Primal and the other is a recording made in an old tram and bus museum a different feel to each but all wonderful . I cannot remember the latters title ...she is however right up there with the Scandinavia's greatest artists.
Came here to say this myself. Simply stunning.
the one you are probably referring to is this one i think czcams.com/video/IW8jTpb5EpY/video.html
@@vigaprimuz
Yup Salt 🤩😍 Thankyou..
First time hearing her and this song , omg , eargasm love it 🥰. Il look for more of her songs . Thanks 😊
Hi Julia, please consider reacting to Geoff Castellucci's remarkable cover of Ain't No Sunshine. It's a fascinating low bass cover of a great classic song, but with a modern twist. It's sooo good.
Discovered this masterpiece thanks to you...
Best video ever!!🎉
Another favorite of mine is Gullspunnin (Spun in Gold) -- every live version I saw was fabulous
I bet you listened to this without interruption again after this , it becomes quite an experience with headphones 🎧 uninterrupted. Just completely transported somewhere amazing
I've been waiting for more people to hear this.
Watched her live in Uppsala during this tour. Was just as amazing as this recording.
awesome not many do a reaction to this and breakdown. my favourite song by her.
love seeing peoples reactions to her.
It's back up! Yay!
She became one of my favorite vocalist last year.
I read "you could drown in this music" and I thought you were literally wearing a life jacket in the thumbnail cause of your hair LOL
ps your hair is absolutely killer
we all need to hear and appreciate the tremendous talent of performers in the "world music" genre....Eivor is one of those talents....do yourself a BIG favor and see any of her many performances of her song "Trollabundin", which she sings in her native Faroese....
Very beautiful. Somtimes her voice reminds me of Agnes Obel.
Wow Absolutely Amazing thank you Julia Nilon love you
She has a Masters Degree in Traditional Nordic Vocals, plus classical training
Absolutely spectacular. Did anyone else hear a ghost of Kate Bush at times. And brilliant work from Julia as always.
Can singing Julia come out and play. PLEASE....
Yeah, I hear Kate Bush for sure
This song was just as good live. Highly recommend attending Eivor live!
it is live..
She's the only reason why i started watching the Last Kingdom, because she sing all the music of the series 👌
Northmen don't call it a jodle, it's joik, it's a singing technic of the Sami people.
I would love to see a collab between Eivor and Krister Linder.
Please react to Home Back from Jinjer! :)
True love live in LA is amazing, eivør is amazing
i think you gonna like eivor - wake me up live performance
omg omg omg
Yes Julia, sing for me my angel! Where can I hear you sing? Floor and Eivor are the greatest ANYWHERE. Floor has a new single out called FIRE. Check out the music video or the live version on HKF8 Dutch TV. She also sang a part of the phone book on another show, BEAUTIFUL! Last but not least she is on German TV show Sing Meinen Song. She blew the guests away. Thanks so much for your reactions.
Coming back to re-re-react to your reaction again, because it fills my soul!
It seems like you're not familiar with Sami music yet? May I suggest reacting to two of my absolute favourites: Mari Boine, from the Norwegian side of the border, and Niko Valkeapää from the Finnish side? I can return with specific song suggestions if if is of interest.
Are we related? Your facial expression and body movement right before and during the drop - that's so me... ;-)
Wonderful reaction!!!
The begining was great in singing but a little flat on the music for me. Then when instruments started coming in it got interesting and near the end it exploded sooooo good. I'm glad I stayed for it.
agree with you.. Wake me up // RTT, which is basically a build-up song as well with a grand finale is highly recommended. It is just way better in every aspect! You will hear a voice range guaranteed never heard before!
I see what you mean it seems like it was the same refrain over and over for a while, but part of that may have been because Julia kept pausing the video to make her analysis. Not that I’m blaming her. I loved it the whole time though.
YEEEESSSS
