This man has an incredible talent- he has managed find the oldest, most beautiful traditions and brought them to light - to then uses his voice to bring out the purest, most ancient parts of our souls. Parts that remain untouched, causing grown men to break into tears and women's hearts flutter. This man needs a million times more recognition then what he has.

So magical 🙏🏻❤

Einar is a force of nature. With an orchestra behind him, he's the whole storm. Love it!

The moment Einar's singing gets guttural (2:45), my heart soars. Every time.

Honestly just saw the name Einar Selvik and clicked thinking this gonna be good. It was.

Buried in a world full of anger, death and fear, I find this. And in six minutes of absolute beauty, I find hope. Thank you for this.

The Gods are inside us, through the human nature of our actions. The Gods are outside, through the nature of the world. To meet the gods is to be true to our own self, and to be true with the world around us.

Perfect time of the year to start listening to this song again

It's insane people don't open their minds and try and seek out more amazing music like this. Just blows my mind.

The Gods themselves were present during the performance of this song..

His voice and music stir up something deep within me that I cannot explain. It gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. I'm so happy to see that it does this to so many others as well. We are all connected. We are all one. The Great Awakening for humanity is well on its way ❤️

This man like a best friend that I never meet in person

He’s one of the few artists that sound better live than in the actual song

People who dislike this song have no understanding of the music.

I can't feel anything else other than an immense sense of proudness for him. There is no way he started Wardruna expecting how big it would become. Sixteen million views on Lyfjaberg and I'm still in shock about it. He really has made the gods proud.

If only the video wasn't so quiet this would be perfection.

I’m so proud of my Scandinavian ancestry when I listen to this.

This man holds his ground against a whole choir... Strong voice and great song...He was the perfect choice to participate on the soundtrack of Vikings ...He lifted those series toward Cult level ( Ragnar too , of course or Mr Fimmel)

This music allows you to travel thousand years back and feel the different world with different people. Greentings from Russia.

The original song is one thing, but the orchestral version.... The strings and voices kicked in, and I started crying.

Einar Salvik, when he performs, his voice is like an intrenched & very familiar echo that reaches into the core of my soul. To me it feels like a call to come home.

This orchestral version is sensational ! I get emotional whenever I listen to this song. ❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷

Damn...I just cannot truly understand how awesome Einar is. To think this is the same guy who used to be Gorgoroth’s drummer hahaha!! Wardruna’s music is one of the main reasons to be alive. So stoked to have yet one more version of this song. That makes four. Skål everyone!

I'm just speechless. This song has always been a favorite of mine. The orchestra and the passion in your vocals just elevated it. Chills, tears and joy. Thank you so much for your beautiful music ❤️❤️❤️

Einar, thanks to be in this world ⚔️

Just so so good. Fucken tears and shivers man.

For all people says that we are living in the worst age of music... listen this

The beauty of Wardruna and Einar Selvik; they do not need a choir/ orchestra behind them. I love the instrumentals and skaldic versions they do

Just when you think Einar cant out do his self, challenge accepted.

This has to be the single finest piece of Scandinavian music I have ever heard in my life.

Where has this music been all my life? Yes, complete my album.

Hail Wardruna! Hail Einar!

Ive never clicked so fast in my life

Welche Kraft von diesem Lied ausgeht ... Danke das ihr mein Leben bereichert habt

One moment I was in my living room clicking "play", the next I was on a longboat heading for a coastal English village

Mr Einar, THIS is the best version of the song! Skål!

I honestly got chills listening to this. Einar is such an incredible musician and this ensemble works so well.

Whow!!! Ich muss wieder und wieder auf "wiederholen" drücken. Wunderschön: "...Freude genießen das ganze Leben lang!"

Heed my words, all classes of men You greater and lesser children of Heimdall You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall Of the oldest deeds of gods and men The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea The bright stars fall out of the sky Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds Brothers will fight one another and kill one another Cousins will break peace with one another The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel The wolf will break its bonds and run Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight. Thatched with gold at Gimlé There bold men will dwell And enjoy cheer throughout their lives

Without ochestra this song is so damn epic, but the genius Einar Selvik found a way to make it even more epic !! Thanks a lot Einar for being such a great musician !!!

How dares to dislike this??? Are they incapable of ... FEEL???

Every time I hear this version makes me nostalgic from a place I’ve never been …

im always stunned when i listen to him. the passion in his voice is infectious. such a brilliant musican

Det är väldigt roligt för mig att efterkommande av människor som försöker förstöra vår religion , folksånger och epics älskar och äger våra låtar , vår religion och vår historia med stor beundran . Einar ❤️

Einar Selvik and its magnificent performance.

Imagine world without Einar and his music

Мурашки пробежались по мне табуном... чуть не затоптали.

Literal tears, goosebumps and chills. The Allfather is with you Einar, speaking through you!!

This is my first youtube video comment ever, and this performance made me do it. Loved it !

Wardruna is such a primal and deeply human force. But seeing Einar in this modern classical setting only deepens his power. 30 or 40 musicians supported him, and everyone was playing their charge! But he still managed to rise on top and command the attention of the room…

seine Stirnfalten sind ein Kunstwerk, wie auch seine Musik!

The gods sent us Einar so that we would not forget them. Thanks for the creativity.

This song just touched my soul.. You know it's Real art when words can't describe how it makes you feel when you experience it..

Einfach Überwältigend!! Balsam für die NordKeltische Seele

When Einar sings, it's as if a thousand years of anguish are released in one glorious, melancholic moment.

I'm soooooo touched! I almost dropped my weights at the gym! This was so magical and stunning. Man I've never heard something so completed my entire life! How is this even possible!

Again, speechless. Medicine for the soul

I guess this is what it feels to be homesick about a place you've never been to. I love Vikings and the Old Norse mythology!

Earth exists for 4.5 billions of years. We are so lucky to exist right now, when we can listen to this masterpiece

I feel Einar's music make way through my veins.

Eu ouço Einar pelo menos uma vez ao dia. Obrigado por mostrar ao mundo esse gênero musical tão bonito e único. Creio que os deuses nórdicos te presentearam por um motivo especial. Abraços do Brasil! In English: I listen to Einar at least once a day. Thank you for showing the world this beautiful and unique musical genre. I believe that the Nordic gods presented you for a special reason. Hugs from Brazil!

My hair ist standing up on my whole Body anytime i listen to it!!! His voice is very spiritual!!! Greez from Allemania

imagine waking up one day and making what is in your head happen? einar i'm gonna sing and take ancestral to a whole new level...

An absolute masterpiece! This song always makes me cry but this version was so epic. Einar, thank you for blessing the world with your music and being so humble about it.

Nevermind the quantity of versions of this song I've heard, every time it takes my breath away. This is perfect.

The blood rushing through my veins..... The calling of my Ancestors..... Whom I long to be with. Einar has the sound of Asgard behind him. Absolutely beautiful & The feeling is.... Cannot be defined. Thank you Einar & keep this sacred tradition well & alive forever.

Truly one of the best Vocal singers on earth,number 1 for me definitely!!!! Hope to see him one day live

Would enjoy a whole Album with Orchestra! This is so magical that you sink in while listening. LOVE IT !!

Ive never clicked on the like button so fast in my life. What an amazing performance!

So much power! Einar keeping the old ways alive through his music. Bravo! 👏👏👏

It brings feelings when i hear this song. I sang this for my mother before she passed.

Видно когда человек не просто знает о чём поёт, А поёт именно душой!

Beautiful and soul stirring. So glad to have found Wardruna

Que perfeito. Cadê os brasileiros com bom gosto musical?👏😍❤

It will be a long story, but i hope Wardruna will read it, because i am so grateful for their music. I always searched the reason of my life, of my exist and my place in this world. But i never found it. I always had interest about nordic cultures, about the scandinavain culture. But the true eye opening moment was, when i heard Wardruna at first time. Since that moment - which was around in 2018 - there is no day without Wardruna. Even if i'm not listening the songs at the moment, i hear it, and it is touching my soul.. something ancient. Now, thanks for this amazing and magical music, now i know my place in this world. And i know my soul is belong to something old, to something which is almost got forgotten. I found the Love of my life thanks to Wardruna and Heilung. She is the most perfect women whoever i met. My biggest dream to see and hear Wardruna in live, i hope once they will visit Hungary, or i can visit a place where they have concert near to me. Thank you for your amazing work, and thank you for changing my life!

Pure beauty and power of Northern soul and spirit!

Einar, you got an incredible Viking voice, a gift from the Gods!! Thanks for the magic once again :)

This song makes me long for a place and people that I've never been or known.

I didn’t think this song could be made any more amazing.

Please please please more orchestral compositions in the future! This mixture is amazing! 👍

Wonderful as always, proud to be Asatru from Brazil!

Best Einar-version of Völuspá ever! Einar is the man who's talented enough to sing this poem. Standing there as a true skald. One word: BEAUTIFUL! 👏👊💪👍

What a voice, it made me cry.....

This mans voice is just on another level 😍❤️❤️❤️every time I hear it it just takes me to another place it’s so magical 💕

Quanto Brasileiro, que orgulho em saber que em meu pais tbm existe bom gosto.

Poetry. A spirit of the past echoing out across the ages amid the chorusing voices of the world it's deeds helped to shape.

I trow my phone away, stand from my desktop and clap a lot. ❤🥲🥲 WONDERFUL.

It’s so so so beatiful. Wonderful. Respect Turkey 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Шедевральное исполнение!

I can picture a group of Vikings trekking through the snow and there is a harsh wind blowing. Wow-you never cease to amaze me with your vocals Einar, blessings to you ♥️😌♥️

Einar + orchestra = epicness²

Как всегда великолепное звучание,и шикарная песня.

Thank you Wardruna! Thank you Einar Selvik!

the lady at 5:22 is like "I can see you replaying this fifteen times in a row"

Otherworldly..... And phenomenal.

it's only 4 notes but to play them over and over in time you have to be a machine, and he's singing too... i dont know why i find that more impressive than someone shredding.

I don’t have words to describe this, just amazing... Thank you 🔥

I don't speak the language, but it doesn't matter because this song hits that core in your soul.. ❤

I really wish I never gave up playing the viola I miss that sound so much

Wow! Awesome version of voluspa! Þussen þakkk Einar Selvik! Alù
