Music video for ‘Raido’. Directed by Tuukka Koski, Koski Syväri. English and original lyrics below:
Dark clouds drift within
The longing lures
pulls my mind
Will you carry me?
I want to go
Fair foal, I bid you
Sacks rich with gold of the fields
Fare swiftly on flying hoofs
Carry me, and I promise you
Ride out
Raido
The storm is stilled, the mind it flies
The drum of hoofs lay the beat
The heart, it follows, two are one
Sets me loose with speedy feet
Riding
Raido
Wild I rode and ran
Fair foal I spent
The ride is for the horse the worse
Pleasant and swift for the sitting
Raido
Raido
If I ride you
I ride more
As one is two,
where knots are tied
In bonds are bound
the whole world
If I bond you
I can journey
If you carry me
You carry more
As one is two
where chains are forged
In bonds are bound
the whole world
If you bond me
You can journey
--
Svarte skyar rir i meg
Lengten lokkar, hugen dreg
Ber du meg?
Vil i veg
Fager fole byr eg deg
Sekkar aud tå åkergull
Fara svint med flyg-før hov
Ber du meg, eg lovar deg
Ri ut
Raido
Stormen stilnar, hugen fer
Hovslagtromma takten slær
Hjartet fylgjer, tveim blir ein
Rir meg fri med raske bein
Ridande
Raido
Vilt eg rei og rende
Fager fole sprengde
Reiden er for drøsul verst
Sælt og snar for sitjande
Raido
Raido
Rir eg deg
Så rir eg meir
For ein er to
Der knutar knytast
I byrd er bunde
Heile verda
Om eg bind deg
Kan eg ferde
Ber du meg
Så ber du meir
Når to vert ein
Der lenkjer smiast
I byrd er bunde
Heile verda
Om du bind meg
Kan du ferde

Anyone listening in 2024?⚡️
I listen to Wardruna, Danheim, gealdyr, heilung and mykur almost daily there music has transformed me as an individual and reconnected me to my Norwegian/German heritage my wife and my 2 sons also love the music
Still here and listening always!!!
Nice mist 😃You will also love eivor! @@MrAnd3rson
One of my favourite
Ofcourse ❣️
- I play in a folk band. - Cool, what instrument do you play? - The *tree*
Sometimes I play the bones.
@@lauraschlieselhuber8487 Good ol Heilung and their bone instruments
Trees are Good
Please Please while in NC go to the Mountains!!!!
It’s absurd that you can’t like a comment more than once...
- Honey, you need therapy, go to a psychiatrist. - No, I have Wardruna.
That is exactly what im doing right now! Its a sense of centering, for sure.
To imbrace the gods and nature is the try way of the world
I literally do listen to Wardruna to gain some calm and center myself. When life or my thoughts are chaotic, they are my "go to" for peace.
@@urbanglinning6452 not only that but you also pay for that :))
Everybody gangsta till a Scandinavian starts playing trees in a forest.
Thats what I’m trying to teach my son...and I am not giving up😀..
@@markamarka2050 Your son’s gonna be pretty cool
@@vigridr_ yeah;) one day i wil take him to Bygdøy to see the museum like I went with my mum once to feel that spirit..when standing by the Oseberg ship;)
That caused me to give out a hearty chuckle.
Have to agree
There's one problem with Wardruna's songs: no matter how long they are, they're always too short.
yeah, einar needs to make like an hour long of just us listening to his beautiful voice. hagal.
@@sjefssersjant7247 last night I put this very song on repeat and went to lie down. Before I knew, 4 hours later, I woke up and it was still playing. I had fallen asleep listening to his beautiful voice. Amazing!!
I highly encourage you to check out Corvus Corax. The style is adjacent to Wardruna's work, more orchestral definitely, and they record longer songs. Have fun!
Its also a bit too reprtitive not very diverse and simplistic for me but thats all.
@@Vatharian but there stiles are slightly different
A breakdown of thought on this video: First and foremost, Raido is a rune that means to travel, it represents adventure, overcoming a great challenge, and it also is a rune that means "riding" or "to ride." In the beginning Einar is tied to two trees, deep within a forest, and we have a repeating rhythm. We also see that his back is turned to a horse, who eagerly walks behind him, also bound to a tree. I take stagnation from these metaphors: An individual who is rooted in place, cannot move, or make progress, and has willingly turned his/her back, or has been forced to turn their back on opportunity. However, as we see with the video, Einar manages to free himself and is shown wandering in the forest with the horse as his companion. Note two things: A forest has always been a poetic symbol of the unknown and thus Einar is traveling a new path that is foreign to him, and thus he's vulnerable and uncertain; him not wearing shoes adds to the 'vulnerable' metaphor. Second, notice that Einar is NOT riding the horse in the beginning, but is riding it later in the music video. When he starts to ride the horse this represents him getting control of his journey, and then you even get to a point where he's riding the horse full gallop, representing a complete control and a complete freedom in his life. What starts as him wandering in a forests becomes him traveling over streams, past mighty stones covered in moss (a symbol for time), through fields, past lakes, over mountains, and so forth. In the end however, Einar and his companion reach the ocean and he releases him, setting him free and saying goodbye. As a final note, you also have fire as a metaphor in this music video. You see Einar and Lindy-Fay singing over the flames and its casting light, which I take to represent the power of the rune itself, and its deeper meaning. In the end of the music video, one of the final shots is Einar closing his eyes to the fire, and then it cuts to the horse walking away. I take this as a metaphor for an end to the journey; his own death, or perhaps simply overcoming the challenge that he faced. I can also reaffirm this from how the camera is on the surface of the water then, constantly shifting in and out of focus as the water passes in front of it. This represents a new journey about to begin; a new unknown to face. These were my thoughts after just watching the music video one time, so I'm sure I missed something. Awesome video though, Wardruna! Powerful as always.
Simply love this, thank you for your comment.
Wow Nixxiom I didn't think you knew so much about our Norse history. Well read! And also this was not the place I expected to see your comment.
Oh, didn't know you are into Wardruna, now I respect you even more than I did :-)
I take it you're some famous dude. Anyways, awesome analysis, thank you!
+Nixxikom Thanks for these thoughts, very interesting. What first came to my mind after watching the video is an other meaning of these images. The story and also the lyrics can interpretate and symbolize a form of bonds between beings. Between humans and also between humans and nature and/or animals. A true form of love (or at least what love really should be) about two equal sides which are completing each other, not based on selfish needs and thoughts. The way Einar walks and rides with the horse, and especially how he lets the horse go at the final few seconds... Amazing.
This is not a song. This is Edda. This is a masterpiece.
This will travel through time.
@Deniz K. jesus died nailed to a cross. Thor has a hammer. Coincidence? I think not

Respect to our Nordic cousins from the Celts of Ireland. Mother Nature is so pure. She has beauty and strength. Teach our children of the old ways and paths. Saoirse
Celts in Ireland? Nope. Something more special than that.
I love Ireland and the Irish natives very much. They are great people. Protect and preserve the identity.
@I swing the Hammer of Thor I am Hunter Beware, you tread a dangerous path by mocking any of the gods, even one such as Loki. All the gods hold power, and Odin swore a blood oath of brotherhood with Loki.
@Jaimi f What do you mean by that?
Nature will teach you the way, never stray from its path, listen to its words. They have wisdom, and always keep an open mind. How? Up to me it said.
This song touched my soul.
it also touched me in places
oh god...need to resist the urge to write inappropriate comments....
shut up Nazgul, go back to Mordor
It didn't just touch it; it rubbed, carressed and massaged it.
MarkShadJack Fan it touched me in appropriate places
Wardruna is more spiritual to me than any other music that I've ever listened to. I can't figure out why, but it's incredibly amazing.
We're the Aesir, the trees, the rocks, the mountains, the rivers, we're life. Asatru is the true way of us north man and women.
Wardruna and heilung is all I need
Its voices coming down the ages to embrace you
Very true ❤️👌🏻
Burn in Hel, Heretics
My two younger kids are 5 and almost 3 and they LOVE this music. My heart is happy to know they’re taking in such rich music at this early age!
I don't know why but i feel a connection more to this then any church i was ever forced to attend love this
The key word you mentioned is connection. Wardruna cleanses and strengthens our connection with our Source ( where we came from, God, Source energy, nature, or whatever you want to call it.) Most churches tell us we are separate from our Source until we die and we should do what they say or we will be rejected if we don't.This is total BS. When I go up into the high mountains and commune with nature my soul heals and my energy level rises to a very powerful state.I go trout fishing in my boat at over 8000 feet and I fish with the eagles. Love watching them swoop down and grab a trout out of the lake about 20 yards from me. I feel a much stronger connection with the energy that fuels the universe.Wardruna's songs make me feel the same thing. Go see them live if you can. I did !
@@Taticakuasran What you describe is what makes me wish I live in nature. Whenever I'm close to nature I always feel so loved. I mean the love feels so strong that I can feel it in my heart. It's why I'm sad I am in the city. I';m African and listening to this song is so elevating.
@@Ruqkii welcome, bróðir.
@@Ruqkii I lived in the city as a kid and moved closer to nature as I grew older.
@@Taticakuasran I envy that.
I am proud to be a Norwegian, To have viking ancestors. This type of songs take me on travels, This makes me peaceful and somewhat my soul get connected with the nature self.
Jeg også 😊👌🏼🇳🇴

Bro, I think that real Vikings moved abroad from Scandinavia. I mean, real Vikings moved to England, Normandy, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Italy and even Constantinople. And most of them settled there.
@Peter from Ukraine With all of their raids a few vikings did try to settle down in these lands. And also woman got raped and ended up with childrens by this vikings. The vikings have always been in Scandinavia. Those that left were at raids and probably tried to settle down. Due to all the conflict settling down was not easy for them. But i can tell you that the majority of the vikings still was in Scandinavia. And they was until the end of the viking age. The Vikings were many not few so they spread alot of their origins to people around europe through their raids. I would say that the majority of people in Scandinavia has viking ancestors. While some outside can be lucky enough to have too. They have focused alot on Britain/England so they got alot of ancestors from there.
@@mathiasaaron6945 Have you been interested in the Vikings raids to the Eastern countries? For example, nowadays Russian city Novgorod was one of the Viking's citadels and then Vikings moved to Kyiv (now the capital of Ukraine) and created the next Viking's citadel in the East. After that Vikings tried to get the control over the provinces of the Eastern Roman Empire and vast territories around Volga river. Vikings were valued for their ability to bring order and justice (in the Medieval meaning). The legitimate kings in the Eastern Europe connected their families to Viking ancestors.
Scandinavians, germans,live long friends, respect from Russia
that is very sweet, brother. I live in Hamburg, Germany and I send to you all my love and respect. Danke schön, Bruder!
This one isn't german, but respect!
Иван Будков respect
Spasibo bratan!! and likewise
Russia is literally named after the Russ or the Reds, The Swedish vikings raided at first but then made friends with the slavics who helped them make their way all the way to the mediterainian sea. They interbred with the Slavics and became part of the fabric of Russia itself and the Baltic states. We are all connected thanks to the Vikings. Skål my Swedish viking brother!
That's the burden all horse people have to bear. First we join our souls into one and then we have to let our companions go, for a horses life is much shorter than our own... My mare is 26 now and our journey together was certainly not always easy as it began 23 years ago when we both were still young...and the day will come I've got to let her go. But there is one thing that comforts me: A handsome face will age and a perfect body will change but a beautiful soul will always stay a beautiful soul!
Listening in memory of my beloved Norwegian Fjord horse. He carried me through both heaven & hell. We shall reunite one day. - love from Ireland, thank you Wardruna. 🤍
Looks like a Nord svensk
Most likely it's a Norwegian dolehorse (dølahest) very close related to Nord svensk. ❤️
I would love to hear Raido on the radio :DD
Перевод: Тёмные тучи живут внутри. Тоска приманок обманывает ум. Понесёшь ли меня? Освободи меня. Славный жеребёнок, дам взамен Просторные поля золотые, Так скачи же, скачи неугомонно! Унеси меня, и я всё исполню, Чего пожелаешь. Райдо! Шторма успокоились, ум остёр, Стук копыт отбивает свой ритм. Два сердца идут как одно. Освободи меня, надели прытью Лошадиной, Райдо! Всё быстрей скакал я, бежал. На волю потом пустил жеребёнка. Дорога была для него трудна, Но приятна и быстра для меня. Райдо! Райдо! Коль объезжу тебя - Будем ехать вместе, Как единое целое, Где узлы крепки! И узами связаны Целые миры! Коль объединимся - Пойдём рука об руку! Коль понесёшь меня - Выдержишь двух Как единое целое, Где цепи куются! Узами связаны Целые миры! Коль объединимся - Уйдёшь в путь свободным.
Спасибо!)))

It is really a pity that most people will actually never get to listen to this masterpiece. This is so powerful that it can force you to change the way you think and reconsider many things in life. I want to support these guys to keep on doing what they do by any means I can, and this is the first time I feel this way for a band.. Wardruna, thank you
You are right but let the people come to this kind of songs by themselves ; I mean I think it's not the music you can bring to most people and expecting them to like it 'easily', it's a journey, a personal path, and one day you find it. And you can fully enjoy it. It's practically spiritual. This is music! But I agree, everyone should be able to experience it.

Райдо - руна дороги и Пути. Это езда и колесница. Руна воссоединения и связи между началом и концом. Райдо - руна выхода из безвыходных ситуаций. Думаю, они поют именно об этом, через образ коня и всадника, отправляющихся в путь.
Райдо - руна путешествия,верховой езды
Each time I listen to this song or any song from Wardruna for that matter, I hear the voices of my ancestors. I love it.

Not only has this quickly become my new favorite Wardruna song. But it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard in a long time, I can't stop listening to it.
This is the sound of freedom, spirituality, true friendship, rebellion, nature, traveling, power and truth
stumbled upon Wardruna after the TV-show VIKINGS, and I fell in love with the sound instantly.. As a Dane i feel that Wardruna reignites the glory of my heritage and gives a reminder about the power that both this country and the entire Scandinavian region was once build upon..
I'm from Armenia and I don't understand but I am translating in English.. it's very beautiful , thank you Wardruna..I love your all musics
Thanks for providing the Viking culture all around the world !

I take several trips to Colorado and I love listening to wardruna when I'm going through the mountains. Well not just then but especially going through the mountains at sunrise....man
I love the way this song starts off quiet and just builds and builds into this tidal wave of sound. Awesome!
exactly! I thought of it as a slow moving avalanche of music slowly building up until it engulfs you
All my life, since I was a teenager, I knew I was born in totally wrong country and most importantly, in a totally wrong century and this feeling never leaves me. Oh, how naive I was thinking it would pass with time.. Every time I listen to music like this or watch a similar video, it only makes me realize how right I am. I thank gods (and the show Vikings) that I discovered this band, it was like a breath of fresh air I needed so much. Their songs take me to places, times and situations I can only dream of, connects my mind and soul with nature and something primal within my inner self. Much love and respect to Wardruna, if only they knew how much their music helps people like me.
I feel the same, my friend!
Greetings Lady's. Glad you liked it. Respects.
It's so good to know that I'm not alone in this world and with such thoughts.. You've described my feelings so well, that I have nothing to add. In my childhood I was literally crying when listening the whale songs, it touched my soul so deep on some primal level. this feeling I have when listening Wardruna.
Raymond Cantlay I also send my respects to you... Now I understand why I missed so many things and so many people who I never meet in this life. The explanation is because my soul is still connected to ancient times :)
Don’t forget the reality is no antibiotics. Does your dream include dying in agony from lockjaw?
There is something about this music that just hits me emotionally.
When I first discovered Wardruna, I couldn't put my finger on it but their music was so familiar to me in a way I couldn't explain. I didn't just hear it through my ears, I heard it through every part of me. Like something had been missing in my life... a very strange yet pleasant experience. I feel it every time I listen to them, like they awaken something in me that had been dormant for a very long time.
Слушая эту композицию веришь, что привычных забот нет. Что жизнь в природе. Благодарю!
В погоне за своими мечтами мы не замечаем истинное счастье!
Так и есть......
Gods must cry of happiness when they listen to this!
this is a masterpiece!!! respect from south america to all the nordics
Watched them live, OMG they are flawless live from the vocals, interments, and their presence. They got standing ovation throughout the show, the crowd in Toronto, Ontario were just awesome. Actor "Rolo" from Viking (Clive Standen) was in the audience in the middle row between the crowds with his family and no one noticed. We were at the front left row, and he passed by with his family to go backstage while intermission, and we didn't say anything but we were like OMG it's ROLO, in shock, and passed by again. The only disappointment was we weren't allowed to take photo's or videos as the security guards were in every corner watching anyone who does, but Clive was allowed to film and I believe he posted. I think its nice for fans to be allowed, specially waiting for a rare moment and memory being at a concert like this, but I understand and respect that. Still was breathtaking, bought all their albums at the show. So worth it.
Every single from Wardruna is like a holiday for me..
This song remind me a bad feeling, the feeling to be born at the wrong period. Pleasure come from simple thing, we forget our origins, and we are all focus on superficial thing today. Thanks Wardruna for these 5 minutes of lucidity. Greetings from France.

We have Norse blood in our family, I am a huge fan of Vikings and somehow I only discovered Wardruna today. Today... of all days... when we are learning that we will be losing our dear Mom very soon. This music makes me feel courage but it also makes me cry. I feel guilty about not being a stronger “Viking” in the face of losing my other parent. We already lost our Dad in 2003 and once Mom is gone we may be adrift in our family war boat, directionless and eyes so full of tears we will not see well enough to navigate... but... maybe if I just keep listening to this music I will grow an indestructible beard that will double as a compass and guide us through the impending storms.

This is my favorite Wardruna song. Rune Raido is one of the most powerful runes, and its feeling cannot be better expressed by any other song. The combination of Einar Selvik's haunting vocals and the use of traditional Nordic instruments creates a mesmerizing and spiritual experience that transports the listener to ancient times. The lyrics, inspired by Norse mythology, add depth and meaning to the already powerful music. The haunting vocals and the intense percussion in this song perfectly capture the essence of Rune Raido, which symbolizes journey, movement, and change. Listening to this song is a transformative experience that transports me to another realm. It's amazing how music can convey so much emotion and meaning, and Wardruna does an incredible job of connecting with their audience through their music. I always feel a sense of clarity and purpose after listening to this song, as if I've gained a new perspective on life. The use of traditional Nordic instruments and chanting in Wardruna's music adds to the authenticity of their sound, making it feel like a spiritual experience. It's no wonder that their music has gained a cult following among fans of Viking and pagan culture. Their music is not only enjoyable to listen to, but it also serves as a gateway to learning more about ancient Nordic culture and beliefs.
Am i the only African here? Love you guys from Nigeria.
Respect to the Nigerian nation too.
You can't just listen to this song without watching this video, it simply shows the atmosphere in which this song belongs. The horse is amazing, the video is simply perfect.

This is what I call music. Original, organic and dynamic soundscapes and lyrics with a meaning. Not some shitty bands like Amaranthe with overcompressed, plastic commercial bullshit that resembles more computer generated noise than any instruments. That's what the mainstream labels are marketing in music industry and they're the Justin Bieber or Katy Perry of metal music. Wardruna isn't metal, but Kvitrafn has black metal history and knows what is the difference music with soul and music without it. This stuff has the soul and emotion and draws you into another world. That's the meaning of music: to create visions through soundscapes. Wardruna always nails it.
Only truth in your words...
So, do you have to needlessly attack other artists to praise this band? It makes is seem very childish.
Hauntingly beautiful
My thoughts exactly!
Carola como me mates al fedor con esta canción me tiro de un quinto piso

I have no idea why or how the music from Wardruna gets inside me, I feel it. Weird feeling but very pleasing to the senses. My CD collection is growing.

Goosebumps all over the body. The music goes straight into the soul. Love from India
As an American with Norse roots, this made my soul explode with joy. I love Wardruna
This was astonishingly beautiful. I hope for another truly epic masterpiece hit like Helvegen in this album.
Helvegen is hard to beat, but this and Odal might actually do that in my opinion. I would like to see something in the lines of "Heimta thurs" also in this album, i kinda miss the guttoral.
Watcher the last song in the album is called Runaljod (sound of the runes) I'm sure that will be incredible
I keep on listening to Helvegen and I find it deep, epic and powerful, like the beat of its drum in my heart
Isa from the new album is one of their best tracks in my opinion.
yes isa is amazing , to be honest the whole ragnarok album is amazing, so many people dont understand that kind of music, shame :(
The soul is awakened and carries us onward such magic in these words Gods bless these musicians always please never stop making music
The way this song builds up so powerfully and then breaks down at the end into this tender melody again.. Incredible. What an experience, thank you Wardruna!
You are on par with Homer in terms of storytelling and symbolism Thank you for your bravery in living your craft
The song attracts attention from the very beginning! In the song you can feel the power and strength of your ancestors, nature, earth, water, sky !!! Listened to more than 10 times in a row! I thank the Scandinavian brothers and sisters for the video and the song that touched my soul !!! Great greetings to you from Russia !!! Glory to the ancestors !!!
The best thing of Wardruna's songs, is that you'll never understand the whole meaning, the real one, by the first listenings, it takes a while, that could be days or months or even a year, because it depends on your own experience. For me it's a new discovery and a new interpretation everytime. Ragnarok will be awesome, can't wait to see them in November !
The unbridling and removal of the saddle on the horse makes me cry every time.
Long live from Serbia,from south-east, from Celtic's south..Long live Europe,green,pagan,proud..
Просто и гениально.Гениально и просто.Проникает глубоко в душу и остаётся там.Видеоряд переносит и погружает в происходящее.Очень красиво и умиротворённо. From Russia with love
Wardruna, Percival and Eluveitie. Norse, Slavic and Celtic. Pagans united ! Love and culture !
We are all kin, linked to a common root our blood is the same why not our union?
@@Rottensparrow homophobic
@@ericjohnson7234 We as Europeans should unite together.
@@La-meiga-celtibera Agreed. Yet we have to acknowledge are human nature. Tribalism, must be sated. So I say, why not an alliance? NATO, has played its part, but we need something new, and WE MUST INCLUDE the RUSSIANS. IF we ignore the South and the East, Europe is still weak, and will continue to be for as long as those gaping wounds are open.
@@ericjohnson7234 i agree with you
I highly recommend everyone to watch this video. Really cool. I had a long depression, and my future husband advised me to watch and listen to their songs. This composition was the very first, tears rolled in a stream. I listened for a month, and just cried. In general, if it were not for this music, I would no longer exist. alive. AND NOW I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS !!!! I dream of getting to their concert at least once in my life
Направду , щось особливе криється у їхніх піснях
так
I will visit Norway soon, people look at me funny and ask “why do you wanna go there, there is nothing there” It’s the beautiful nature that makes me wanna go there, breath in the fresh air and walk among these beautiful sceneries
Some will never understand the call of the woods.
me too!
DOnt forget northen light historical places as well as wolf hotels
I wish to go to Norway. The same reason. It's a beautiful place.
I don't have direct ancestry there, but since vikings came to rule Slavs on my land I want to believe it is what connects me to this ancient land. I will definitely go there one day.
I am captivated. Having only recently discovered the true origin on my blood this literally sings to my DNA.
Oh man when Einar sings Raido i get shivers i love Wardruna SKÅL !!
Love from Deutschland 🇩🇪🇩🇪
Боже, это самое эстетичное что я видела в своей жизни
Oh.... this made my soul so happy. Wardruna, you've knocked it out of the fucking park again. I don't think I've ever been so excited for an album in my life.
Yes jordanna Rowan I agree
I'm Brasilian, and I love this song, it's amazing! I already hear it some 100x, congratulations!
When my soul is distressed I can put on wardruna and it calms my spirit. I feel a chill.. like a vibration over my whole body. It is a peaceful feeling.
Me too!
I'm English but have a Germanic family name, I am norse pagan and it's the best decision I've ever made. I now connected with my ancestors and the Gods. Listening to Einar relaxes me & I can quite happily fall asleep to his beautiful music.
музыка которая проникает во все уголки души...
Вероотступник
@@alansvoice3148 не ругайтеся, христианство и язычество дополняют картину мира.
@@user-gv3es3ft9z Христианство является полной противоположностью язычества. Либо ты христианин либо ты вероотступник язычник.
@@alansvoice3148 но ты при этом кельтский язычник. Так что именно ты и есть вероотступник.
@@user-gv3es3ft9z христианство - еврейский бог, причем тут язычество и картина мира... мдэ
My soul was in pure bliss with this song.
Proud to be a Norwegian. I love this type of music and for all the energy that Einar Selvik and Lindy Fay Hela put into these songs. Beautiful work! Hail to Wardruna!
I''ve been in a tour in ICELAND, the tour leader kept speaking.. I had my headphone and was on a Viking playlist on a war between the mountains and rivers.. never forgotten scenes with Wardruna and Forndom.
Just BRILLIANT. Gives me the chills. Amazing work.
Спокойствие разума и чистота мысли...
Love from Norway🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
I am baffled by the number of dislikes. A person has to be very unimaginative and dull to dislike this amazing, moving, spiritual music.
I say this politely of course. I’m sure they are good people. But it’s most likely Catholics and Christians. I harbor no hate towards them but they are the main arbiters of hate and disgust to this type of culture and religion wardruna touch’s on.
Those are the Anglo-Saxon and Irish monks who don't appreciate having their monasteries raided. 🤣
I love it and I get it. You show us your world through the music and the beauty of your land and your people with pride and honor. Thank you.
I love your comment ShieldKitten, I didn't think of it this way, but you're so right!
This song is breathtakingly haunting and ethereal. I am disarmed and captivated by the beauty of it. 🖤
Não canso de ouvir !. Sempre entro em estado de transe !!! Melodia fantástica ! Heilsa !!!!
Thank you Wardruna for this beautiful music! Greetings from Serbia!✨
