GARMARNA comments: Två Systrar This one goes deep. We’ve been playing around with this classic tale of betrayal and revenge before but it was always put on hold. Not this time. The poetry is breathtaking, it doesn’t get much starker than this. Musically, for us this is one of the most satisfying songs we’ve done. With Garmarna, there is always a riddle. An escape room. We’re trapped until we solve the puzzle. Here, it started with an original idea of ours blended with a traditional melody and in an hour we transformed a whole bunch of ideas into a melody that just flows. Stefan was playing around with the amazing Elektron Octatrack, preparing a soundpack of nordic sounds (keep your eyes open for that). So a Mouth harp, treated in a million ways, created a set of harmonies we could play on the keyboard. The strange harmonies seemed to be the key so we followed. There has been some moments where creating music is expanding ones soul and mind in ways words cannot describe and personally, the creation of Två Systrar is one of the most powerful examples of this. We’re so proud to present ”Två Systrar”. Enjoy!

Greetings from Turkey. I don't understand lyrics but I love this song

English translation (by Alistair Cochrane) There were two sisters who lived by the sea - Troubled my years - “Will you walk down to the shore with me?” - Trouble your words will bring me - The younger was fair as the sun is bright The elder as dark as the soil at night. The younger went first with her hair in the wind Her false-hearted sister came closely behind. And there from a rock that was lofty and steep She pushed her young sister down into the deep “Oh sister, dear sister, don’t leave me to drown I*ll make you a gift of my golden crown” “Your gold and your crown I care nothing for You’ll never walk God’s green earth any more” “Oh sister, dear sister, please bring me to land My bright golden bracelet you’ll wear on your hand” “Oh sister, sweet sister, don’t leave me for dead I’ll give to you my true love to court and to wed” “Your true love I’ll marry, whatever you say You’ll never walk God’s green earth anyway” “Fare thee well, dear father My wedding shall be in the water” “And fare thee well, dear mother My wedding toast shall be bitter” “Fare thee well, my sister dear I’m drinking far more than I should, I fear” Some fishermen fishing by night from their boat They found this fair maid in the ocean afloat They took up her body as white as the sand And carried it back to be laid on the strand They made a fine harp of her snowy white breast To play at her sister’s wedding feast They made some fine strings of her golden hair To play at the wedding for all who were there The very first note that the harper did play The young maiden’s voice rang out from the grave The very next note rang as clear as the first: - Troubled my years - - Trouble your words will bring me - “A curse on my cruel sister!”

Definitely the best song of the album. Could easily become a trademark song of Garmarna like Herr Mannelig.

Seasons Of Mist always delivers. I had not heard of Gamarna before and i will add them to my rotation with Wardruna and Heilung.

Actually Garmarna is the bad that had heavilly influenced many modern prominent folk bands. f.e. Faun has repeatedly stated that.

Songs of both,Garmarna and Wardruna will be sung at my funeral.

I usually dont repeat a song, especially when i hear it for the first time, but oh, Garmarna, you clicked something in me

I'm glad I just discovered that Garmarna brought new songs to the world! Två Systrar is incredible! Thank you sooo much! Emma's voice still sounds haunting and calming at the same time. Much much love, everyone did a great job!

Viken vacker röst beautiful Voice

Best song begining

I feel my heart swell as I listen to another one of your masterpieces walking down an empty road on the Irish countryside in the middle of the night. I look up at the bright moon and remember the symbolism of the two sisters. It is almost as if the moon herself is singing me this tale of woe.

This is even better than the previous single. So glad I pre-ordered the album...

Accidentally found this, it's amazing.

This was the discovery I needed. Made my morning coffee so much more epic! Great job

A simple, fair and righteous statement that will generate a lot of hatred and anger. Those people should really think long and hard about why the react in such a way about their own people, but not others who say the same thing.

Beneath a pagan european song you just write a comment about European nations and some people just cant stand it. Maybe folk music isnt for you. Folk pagan music is about roots and nature, it is archaic and nostalgic about a lost golden era of myths and heroes. Roots myths archaic, heroes etc? Your hysteria takes all these thing as...white supremacist nazi things. Better listen to some pop modern music.

@Tacklepig

​@@KataDaemonaEaftou the problem with this is that these nationalistic, tribalistic, folkish...short: racist interpretations of ancient culture would be entirely alien to our ancestors. Ancient europe didn't have "nations", it had a few different cultures, but those differences actually get really muddy the further back you go. If you were truly, as you say, talking about "archaic" things, about roots, myths and heroes, you would realise that these are extremely similar all over the world, that humanity is in fact one race and that we should unite rather than divide. Folk pagan music is in fact not nostalgic about a "golden era", it is celebrating a culture very much alive in the present, and your ancestors would be ashamed of you for being stuck in the past and thus ignoring all their accomplishments and all the progress they worked towards.
