Lyrics:
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met", cried he
"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
All for the love of thee"
"I could have married the King's daughter, dear
She would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
All for the love of thee"
"Well, if you could have married the King's daughter, dear
I'm sure you are to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And find him a nice young man"
"Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
To the banks of the salt, salt sea"
"Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
And go along with thee
What have you got to maintain me on
And keep me from poverty?"
"Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Will be at your command"
She picked up her own wee babe
Kisses gave him three
Said, "Stay right here with my house carpenter
Keep him good company"
Well, they'd not been gone but about two weeks
I know it was not three
When this fair lady began to weep
She wept most bitterly - Hudba

![MYRKUR - Folkesange [FULL ALBUM STREAM]](/img/tr.png)
Amalie Bruun has always paved her own path, challenging underground preconceptions of heavy metal ever since the release of her debut Myrkur EP in 2014. Her first two full-length studio albums, 2015’s M and 2017’s Mareridt, recast black metal in the most personal yet expansive of terms, their blending of Amalie’s Danish folk roots with tempestuous internal struggles breathing new life into a subgenre whose followers can be rigidly possessive.
With the release of her new album, Folkesange, Amalie Bruun has set out to journey into the very heart of the Scandinavian culture that marked her childhood. Folkesange relinquishes black metal for a refined yet far-reaching evocation of traditional folk, combining songs ancient and new to sublimely resonant effect.
After the nightmare-induced visions that wrought themselves throughout Mareridt, Folkesange offers an emotional sanctuary, a means to reconnect to something permanent and nature-aligned. It’s an awareness that’s become deeply bound to the album’s organic, regenerative spirit, from the opening track Ella’s heartbeat, frame-drum percussion and crystalline vocals that become the grounding for a rapt, richly textured awakening, to the gentle carousel of the closing Vinter, with its nostalgia-steeped connotations of seasonal, snowfall-bewitched awe.
Storytelling, rites of passage, and the invocation of a continuity that passes through time and generation are all part of folk music’s tapestry, and Folkesange taps into all these currents in their most essential form. In part a purist’s approach to the genre, free from over-interpretation and fusion, the use of traditional instruments throughout, such as nyckelharpa, lyre, and mandola offer a deeper, more tactile connection to their source, an unbroken line of communication back to the past.
But the album is no museum piece; it resonates in the here and now, aided by the spacious production of Heilung member and musical collaborator Christopher Juul. Cinematic yet intimate, Folkesange exists in a state of boundless reverie, bourne by string-led drones, cyclical, elegiac rhythms and Amalie’s frictionless voice, all carrier signals for deep-rooted, ancestral memories, and associations felt on an elemental level.
It’s a binding of the otherworldly and the earthy that echoes the the subject matter of many of the tales themselves. Written by Amalie, Leaves Of Yggdrasil’s medieval cadences bind tragic love story and mythology, full of both fairytale wonder and deeply human foible. Tor i Helheim, its dreamily persistent rhythm redolent of both innocence and encroachment, is based on a poem from the Icelandic Eddas, relating a journey into the underworld of Hel where the sparse nature of the accompaniment becomes the medium that carries you along in its thrall.
An immersive experience in its own right, but also belonging to a wider, pagan folk-based renaissance that has attracted a devoted following worldwide, Folkesange answers a need that has become ever more pressing in turbulent times. A zeroing in on a resonance that is both intrinsic and enduring, it’s a rediscovery of personal grounding, and an experience that reaches beyond culture to remind us of a shared, deeply rooted inheritance. A tuning fork that binds the personal and the universal, Folkesange is a reminder that the most transcendent experiences are those closest to home.
(Words by Jonathan Selzer)
I just discovered Myrkur thanks to this new album and am a huge fan
She has a beautiful voice, unfortunately many many Great song artists had sung it. The song originated in the British Isles and was brought to the United States by early settlers. Love the version Joan Baez, Bob Dylan or Pete Seege.
I'm a metalhead at heart, but I absolutely love this song and album... absolute masterpiece.
Bro I heard it in a WU Tang song and I'm diggin it..
I totally agree, I feel the same, the album is epic
You know she has a couple black metal albums, right?
Same for me man!
Another one here. Metal head last 40 years.. but a folkie one too. And this song and album are simply beautiful
Holy s*** I'm obsessed with this goddamn song!!
yes!
@@UltimaThule77 try hear the swedish version ´´cornelis vreeswijk - somliga går med trasiga skor´´ or this cover, the guitar in this is insane Somliga går med trasiga skor (Cornelis Vreeswijk/trad.) - James Gale

Straight to the heart. What a voice and perfect production.
The original is without doubt, one of the greatest songs that has been written on this earth. The magic, drama & sadness in this new version is absolutely incredible. Stories of the ages.
It's not lost on me that the house carpenter is the same profession as Jesus was, which is a fitting target for a demon to try and lure folk away from.
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried he
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
All for the love of thee
Well I could have married the King's daughter, dear
She would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
All for the love of thee
Well, if you could have married the King's daughter, dear
I know you are to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And I find him a nice young man
Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
To the banks of the salt, salt sea
Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
And go along with thee
What have you got to maintain me on
And keep me from poverty?
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Will be at your command
So she picked up her own wee babe
Kisses she gave him three
Said, stay right here with my house carpenter
And keep him good company
Well, they had not been gone about two weeks
I know it wasn't three
For our fair lady began to weep
She wept most bitterly
She wept most bitterly
She wept most bitterly
close to tears
I remembered her playing this track out a little sample in 2018 when I heard my Scottish Aunt lost her battle to ovarian cancer. And knowing that she released the full ballad on her new release makes me happy.
Rest easy Aunt Helena. Till we meet again.
I just can't stop listening to this song. When she starts singing "Six ships, six ships..." goosebumps run all across my body. This is an insane composition!
100%, I get the exact same thing too
I love how her voice seems to get richer in timbre at the end of every verse.
There's more lyric btw.
"Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid, weep it for your golden store?
Or do you weep for your house carpenter who never you shall see anymore?"
"I do not weep for my house carpenter or for any golden store
I do weep for my own wee babe, who never I shall see anymore."
Well, they'd not been gone but about three weeks, I'm sure it was not four
Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank, never to rise anymore
One time around spun our gallant ship, two times around spun she
Three times around spun our gallant ship and sank to the bottom of the sea
"What hills, what hills are those, my love, that rise so fair and high?"
"Those are the hills of heaven, my love, but not for you and I."
"And what hills, what hills are those, my love, those hills so dark and low?"
"Those are the hills of hell, my love, where you and I must go."
Good ending: Hoe goes to hell xd
Thank you ❤❤💕💕💕
Actaully it would be helheim since the album is heavy nord inspired
@@connor_draco_tempest2891 as far as I am aware this is a Scottish ballad. Scotland has been heavily Christian for centuries, and this song dates back to the 17th century, so although the album itself is heavily influenced by Scandinavia, the lyrics of the song are Christian, making the "dark hill" actually be hell, not helheim, close though
@@ClockworkCouture.
In fact, there is a chance that this song would have been outlawed by the nordic rulers who believed in Norse mythology.
I'm so satisfied with the ending. Thanks, mate
this is unbelievably beautiful
What a masterpiece !!!
This was the first song I listened to from Folkesange. What a great album !! I'm a new fan.
I dont know how she makes her voice sound like a flute at 0:35 but its absolutely incredible! 👏👏👏
Beautiful Norwegian landscape.
Isn't it scottish ?
me enamoré de ésta canción. Aún en mi soledad me siento en compañia 💗
To all the people who love this song, you guys got a godly good taste of music
This one's one of my favorites. Wish she sang the whole version.
totally agree. Have you heard the Karliene version? That is also mind blowing and complete.
One of the best songs on the album. Kind of reminds me of Mary Hopkin. Love it.
It IS my favourite 🥰
I really love House Carpenter in your performance. It is honestly my favourite version❤️
It is absolutely a wonderful song and the atmosphere of this great landscape is really amazing.
Sharp collected twenty two versions of this Child Ballad Tom Ashley recorded two versions.Bob Dylan also covered it , and Joan Baez, the list goes on. It's a classic.
Have a listen to the Karliene version as well!
Beautifully haunting version superb
Stunning beauty and masterfully performed by all.
This song makes me weep it's so beautiful.
Your voice makes my heart melt and tremble. 😚
Great performance, but its strange the verses were left out that showed why she ended weeping bitterly.
without those verses she weeps because she left her kids and man.
i think that is a better reason to weep, then whining about dying for making abhorrent decisions.
Honestly I like that she left off the last verses, they get a bit too preachy for me.
I think it's a shame to leave out the last verses because the complete song is a window into the past
@@ThomasWarhammerI think for a lot of people (including me!) this was an introduction into the original - I know the original version now but am very happy that this is the version she did, the openness of the end adds something for me
I love this song
What a pretty tune this is... The music with these visuals could melt anyone's heart, no matter how hard and cold it is.
House Carpenter 🌬🕯👫🏼

Pure eargasms,😢
¡¡¡Y QUE VOZ TAN PRESIOSA!!!!
An absolutely outstanding version. It's such a shame that the final versus weren't included, as they complete the tragic story so well, especially sang in your style. Hopefully expanded on at the live shows 🤞
This is litterly all I want from life.

EUROPA MY LAND ❤
Saludos cordiales desde chile 🇨🇱 🇨🇱 🇨🇱
Nous gagnerons.
I love you.
Best version
I feel connected to this song! I can almost remember my ancestors 💘💘
Very nice voice and nice song. I am always glad to listen song from Myrkur. Therefore, i wonder why this song, this is the only one which doesn't come from scandinavian region. Touched by the deepness of the song? Personnal story? Or to recall trhough this song a story of two scandinavian lovers?
I like your short version best you did
The Dolly Parton of Denmark.
All hail odin skál 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
I can't believe that many people have disliked this.
Le bonjour des Landes.
Çok güzel bir şarkı. 💙❤
Du har en meget speciel stemme, og en skøn smag i sange. Jeg holder særligt af din version af Dronning Dagmar, Ramund den unge, To Kongebørn og dine korte videoer med Nyckelharpen. Du har virkelig talent!
Can anyone recommend any other folk music from other artists like this song? I'm new to music like this and I find it beautiful.
Alasdair Roberts - 'The Daemon Lover' for the complete version of this song.
Also try Steeleye Span who did loads of these traditional ballads such as...
'The Lowlands Of Holland'
'All Things Are Quite Silent'
'The Hills Of Greenmore'
'Long Lankin'
Other good groups/songs are...
Pentangle 'Light Flight'
Fairport Convention 'Fotheringay'
@@brians132 Thanks I really appreciate it!
Try to Garmarna.
Somewhere between Candice Night, Quorthon and...Dolly Parton.
Try 0.75 speed
Cornelis Vreeswijks song 'Somliga går med trasiga skor' is very similar to this. Maybe coincidence or she listened to him alot🤔
This is a trad Scottish tune, which probably Vreeswijk used too. He happily borrowed tunes from far and near for his songs...
This makes me think of Kim Larsen. RIP old fella.
Despues de ver Lakabra Lamuerte
I know of her since not long, though I listen metal and underground since ever... This cover is just brilliant, and together with her black metal side, makes her a god damn artist. BTW my daughter's name is Amelie :D
Which country are the locations at? They are So beautiful 😍
At 1:00 I recognize the Lysefjord with the Preikistolen in Norway.
But why not the full song? 🤔🤷♂️ I have to idea.
.....for the Danish people, tjek Kim Larsen "Byens Hotel" lidt morsomt at høre dem side om side.
My is Norwegian landscape used out of interest?
