I definitely think Álfarann makes the better title. Beautiful singing either way, and lovely story.

@puertoaeternus486 11 ай бұрын

I think so too

@richardbonner2354 11 ай бұрын

And me..., Being "a Mountains Loving Person", find the Song's Title with "Cliff" or even better, "Under The Cliff", to be jes' Perfect! Concerning Ethnic "Mythology" and whether or not some of "The little Folk" have wings or not..., in Eire-Land, One of my Two Ethnic Heritages, We re-Member "Fairies" ("The Faie") Who have wings; and Elves and Goblins and Dwarves and Leprechuauns Who All are Wonderous in Thier Own Way, yet, like Us Men an' Women, don't display wings. At least not in this Whorl' of Ours. Great Tune You've given Us, Older and Younger Sisters! 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltucky

The only one summoning demons is you. It is your words which reveals your heart. Many have committed genocide in the name of God and your genocide against our Nordic traditions, and the traditions of any other people, is not appreciated and definitely not the will of God. For it is God who gave us these traditions long ago.

Rebel! Traditionally in many Lands..., it's been a "polite" custom to leave pieces o' money (preferably Gold or Silver!) for, amoung Others, "The little Folk". On the floor or under furniture. They appreciate kindness and respect, and like some o' Us Men and Women, are slow to forget an insult, whether the insult was intentional or simply caused by anOther's ignore-ence. 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltucky

Not so confused anymore, thank you for the insights into the "little folk," maybe I'll give them my old wedding ring that's lying uselessly in the pirate chest. Was riffing off the Fire Saga movie & their take on Huldufólk you know, the one with the beautiful songs & (mostly) great humor where Will Ferrell transcends himself somehow & Rachel McAdams shines as Sigrit & makes you fall in love even harder with her all over again. It's great seeing Iceland in her video & really glad Patty got to travel there & meet such a wonderful collaborator. 🍻

Ich finde beide Titel schön, "Undir Klettinum" klingt mehr besonders/einzigartig, dafür lässt sich "Alfarann" leichter merken und sagen.🎉

@xxxxy100 11 ай бұрын

Genau das dachte ich mir auch.

@Ado_rpg 11 ай бұрын

Najaaa... das Besondere liegt aber eigentlich nur am ungewohnten Isländisch. "Unter dem Felsen" / "Under the rock" / "Under the cliff" klänge eben nicht mehr so besonders. Interessanterweise finde ich via google auf die Schnelle keinen Song mit Namen "Alfarann". Liegt aber wohl auch eher am Isländischen, nochmal anders suchen... genau irgendwas mit "Die Elfen" oder so gibt's natürlich auch zuhauf. Heutzutage einen wirklich neuen Titel zu finden, dürfte unmöglich sein, außer man singt/spielt in einer für sein Publikum ungewohnten Sprache. Wie eben Isländisch. Oder vielleicht mal ein Stück auf Kisuaheli? Klänge für europäische Ohren sicher auch sehr ungewohnt. :D

@jonas1718 10 ай бұрын

das Stimmt natürlich schon, aber ich finde auch "Under the rock" / "under the cliff" auch immer noch toll und spannend klingt. Aber Elfenland als großer Fantasy Fan klingt auch immer gut. Aber du hast natürlich recht, auf ner anderen (für einen) ungewohnten Sprache klingt es gleich noch mals Mystischer. ;)

Patty, you sound Amazing there 😊, Very well done. I wonder how closely related the Icelandic and Norwegian languages are. This video just reminded me of my favorite bus tour ever ( I used to drive tour bus ) It was a group from Norway and I basically fell in love with their accent. Everything they said sounded like they were singing, as the notes would rise and fall. My favorite all time passenger also rode along on that trip. She was a wonderful lady probably around 90 years old. Completely deft. She never knew a word of English and thought I knew Norwegian, so she told me all these stories with such enthusiasm you knew she was living it. Everyone else was apologizing for her, even though I was ensuring them that I was loving it. Sorry for getting so far from the point, but I thought some people may like the story.

Wow, this is great. Icelandic is a fairy language on its own, so it fits the theme perfectly. I tried to learn some of it, and really really struggled on the pronunciation part. If I read the English subtitles under the Icelandic text, I can tell for most words which one means what in that sentence. But then trying to pronounce it... is not easy. You did a great job on that part! I think Álfarann is a better song title, but Undir Klettinum better sums up the story of the song.
