I would love to see Eivor and Aurora do a couple of songs together. That would be pure bliss!

Actually, it already happened! :))) During those lockdowns they both did it together online "live from home" - Aurora's famous "Runaway". I saw it, but it just so hard to find this video. Of course, this was just a small experiment from them.

If you ever get the chance to see her live, take it. She is a force of nature. A generational singer.

Her and Florence Welch always make me have nervous bathroom feelings in my stomach when I hear them live.

Yes, she is classically trained. She is from the Faroe Islands but studied opera in Iceland. She can do, and has done anything from folk, jazz, art pop, rock through to classical.

Every time I see this video I cant get over how far she backs off from the mic for that last whistle note. The sheer power of a trained soprano in those high registers is alarming up close!

I'm amazed it has taken you this long to see this. Eivor is incredible.

@@shaunpierce4174 fine! good songs to start with are: stranger live, come wander with me music video and they hoped for a name. to name a few, she is really special!

Fantastic singer and songwriter.

I'm from the Faroe Islands myself. And she is deffinately one of the most talentet (if not THE most talented) artists up there. BUT, also her band are made up of the very best musicans up there

Eivor is such a wonderful talented singer! I prefer her live and in her native language of Faroese which is the closest living language to the Old Norse spoken by the Viking Norsemen. She sings the theme and OST music for the tv series “The Last Kingdom.” She also learned throat singing from an Inuit woman and is amazing at it!

she's all time one of the best in my musical list, spectacular artist*

She is a Nordic spirit who walks the earth. She has no equal and she literally takes my breath away.

I saw her live last year here in finland, amazing experience. She deserves all the success she has had.

The ”primal” lyric-less section of this song is sung in a style that is very familiar in Scandinavian cultures, including The Faroe Islands. It’s called kulning. Although this song is not a straight up traditional kulning, it’s an incredible example of it and how it can be creatively incorporated into a different piece of music.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. The moog sound is the cherry on the pie.

I am kind of obsessed by her voice! And sooo much emotion! I just can't stop listening to her! Just out of this world! And whatever she sings, it sounds so amazing. ❤

Classically trained soprano with a Masters Degree in Traditional Nordic singing

I can't believe you never checked out Eivor before ! you should definitely go chek out the rest of her music !!

Thx Ken, she's soo good, wormly & enchanting in singing... Continue man!! btw. Have you never heard of or seen Eivor? You have to make up this time... I recommend "Trodlabundin" live'13. You'll find it on YT later 🤣🤣

Great reaction 👍Have you heard Trodlabundin with Eivør?

Really talented 🎶🎤

I saw her sing with Heilung at Hammersmith in London in January. She was their support artist. I think it’s time you did Anoana by Heilung. The official video. It’s very emotional.

Beautiful stuff.

Another singing performances of her, that demonstrates her potential, is this, called "Wake Me Up" (RTT version). kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6pho9h9da6wnsY.html You should also take a listen to her interpretation of "Hounds of Love", the music video version, not one of the live ones. But take a listen to the Kate Bush version first. I think you'll agree, that Eivør does a better version. Another song people will recommend, is "Í Tokuni", but it has already so many reactions on KZread.

Her guitar work is definitely overlooked, she has studied electronics and applies her knowledge craftily, her pedal board is quite a exquisite piece of work.

and you should also check out her concert she did with einar selvik and the danish symphonic orchestra, called the symphonic viking voyage. and since i'm here AGAIN i have to request for the thousands time susanne sundfor, when the lord. do you hear me, KEN? sincerely yours, BARBIE (a good movie, by the way)

try trodlabundin by eivor its magical

at that more primal style when at the end of the phrases she flios her voice up they put the echo and it repeats that high bit, sounds like a bird in flight in a stooorm aaaah lovet loveher

Suggestion: Eivör Pálsdóttir singing Heyr himna smiður - the oldest hymn that exists in Icelandic and in fact the oldest hymn in the Nordic countries. - kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4yJxLWmktbFnMo.html

The Faroe Islands are a country that is ruled by Denmark, BUT has a unique culture and language --- check out any of her many videos of "Trollabundin" ( Trodlabundin ) in which she sings in her native Faroese......

Check out Coheed and Cambria, “The light and the glass” live from the Starland ballroom

This will sound random, but you have some incredibly emotive eyes. Like I can see your whole soul and its beautiful Have a blessed day

More Eivor "True Love" please{ (performed live (@ Sofar Lounge) Thanks Ken L.

You should react to ironmouse opera singing. She was a trained opera singer then caught a rare disease cvid. She can't leave her house and was bed ridden for years and nearly lost her voice. She's on round the clock oxygen and medicines but now she's a vtuber and sings and it's amazing

The high C might shatter glass but the open throat can break the walls around our hearts!

When a woman, or a man for that matter does the' primal thing' you oughta believe they effing mean it! German here, we listen up when this happens. Signal of serious intent, ask the Romans on the other end of the stick of it! When you hear that, seek shelter or stand your ground and you better be a warrior! Walkyries don't mess around...

Wardruna/einar selvik please!

Love to see you review Kimbra singing Save Me in her live performance with the piano and string backing.

this performance is like a whole epos

The very high vocal passages remind me of the young Kate Bush.

Great reaction 🙂 This is one of my all time favorite performances by any singer or band, and Eivør's catalogue is just beautiful. She holds 3rd place on my favorite female singers list, after Angelina Jordan and Aurora. Make sure to check out her song "Tròdlabundin" next, filmed in a VERY beautiful location here in Norway : kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaegj62Bd8iae84.html Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Yes, your videos seem to often stutter a lot. You computer clearly can't handle recording at the same time as watching a video. You can try lowering the YT video's quality when you watch it. It will be easier for your computer to process then. You can also lower the recording settings for the overall quality and resolution. So perhaps you should record in 720p instead of 1080p. Would help a lot. It's always better to have lower settings and a smooth video than higher settings and a stuttering video. Stutter is very hard to watch. Hope it helps. You can always turn to google for more detailed help.

As a Faroese, I can say that you butchered Tórshavn 😂

PJ-Harvey x Kate Bush

Trodlabundin next and preferly the version from 2013 in Norway and i promise you will be baffeld of how versatile this lady is in her songwriting and skills. It is a top one for sure and sooo far away from this song.

So this song was amazing...but this is not her best or most impressive. You must explore her more. Trodlabundin is magical and of course...The Last Kingdom soundtrack

Both your Toxicity reaction and this one have the choppy video playback quality.

bummer about the jerky video. kinda takes away from the experience.
