This video deserves to win a Grammy

That lullaby break in the middle chokes me up every time

That little girl in the video just blows me away.

‘This is not a reaction video’ is what your said. I couldn’t disagree more! These are exactly the reactions I love watching. Not pausing, not trying to entertain, just a pure reaction on how the song hits you in the feels. You don’t need to say anything, your face and eyes were expressing everything :) thanks bud!

Great reaction, you really let yourself be absorbed. Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). According to previking believs they had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female directed than the religion in the later years (viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing = heilung in the german name of the band. They sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language....(and the runes at the endjust spell out ANOANA

Best reaction till now: to be speechless is so pure and unique...

I think that the fact that you were rendered speechless says more about this band than any commentary!🙂

Standard music videos are stranded here on Earth. This masterpiece soars in the stratosphere. It won't win awards because it is beyond awards ceremonies.

I am a northwest german. When i see this Video, it is as hunderte slepping gen goes on. Thank you for this reacton.😊

Once again Heilung have turned me into a blubbering old man, and feel no shame in saying that. The question I have is ...WHY? Audio and visual perfection.

Hi: The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination. The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money. In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages. The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real Above the sign on the womb of the giving birth mother is probably a painted version of Ægirs Hjelm/Aegishjalmur/Ægishjálmr ("Ægir's Helmet"), which is a symbol described in the Poetic Edda as a symbol of ultimate protection, physical, mental and spiritual referred to as protection against all kinds of fear "Ægir/Ægi" means "Sea" in both dialects of Old Norse and is also the name of the personification of the sea. "Ægir's Gate", describes the eddies that drag ships to the bottom of the sea. Ægir / Ægi has often been described as an old man with a long white beard, and to see him standing still in the water was a bad omen, as he surfaced to drag people and ships to the bottom of the ocean. Ægirs Hjelm is described in the Poetic Edda in a stanza with a shape-shifting dragon, Fafner, whose blood is poisonous. The dragon guards a treasure and, with the help of Ægirs Hjelm's spell, is invincible. In The Galdrabók, the symbol is also described as something "you wear on your forehead, between your eyebrows"). In any case, this must be taken with tweezers since it may be wrong. About the solar eclipse perhaps these images would be connected with the symbol of the black sun. For the ancients, the sun was the source of life, as it provided them with heat and energy. The lack of him was just the opposite. For the ancient peoples, it seems that the periodicity and continuity of day and night made us think not only of the existence of 1 sun, but of two suns, one bright and luminous and the other black. One represented life and the other death. This could be translated as the balance between light and dark and its connection to the world of the dead and the living. In it, the dawn of the day was interpreted as the rebirth of life and its renewal. That is why eclipses were so important for all primitive and ancient cultures: When the sun disappeared in broad daylight, they predicted that eclipses would bring about great changes, or that even in the worst case, the world could come to an end. This is the original letter: [María] Athilr Rikithir Ai Eril idi Uha Ijalh Fahd Tiade Elifi An It Athilr Rikithir Ai Landawariar Año Ana Fahd Tiade Elifi An It Aelwao Ano Ana Tuwa Tuwa Tau Liu Ano Ana Tuwa Tuwa [Kai] UL FOS LAU LAL GWUL PED UL ULD AUL LEI ELw ATH RET LAE TyS Otro REI GUI AU AU LA OA SEJS ZUL AU AL HaR HaS Ka TIL AZ Ha IR EL UNOZ LEIT Una DZ GUI UI THUL UHNG Ur OI WHUG DIT La La LIH LaL Ur USK GLa Jue LAL La La La TLG Jue TiL Ur Ur Ur Ur Gel THuL So Oth LAU IA TyL LI RAI WUI IL DAI TU Han UTH A IUr EL AL Dan An ERUI AL EIZ An RA TIU An KU AK The language is proto-norse. The language that the people living in scandinavia during the migration periode spoke in Pre-viking era. The only words of Anoana's handwriting that are known with certainty is Landawariar (Protector of the land)

Think for a moment. The absence of a reaction IS a reaction, and a much more honest one then forced comments, just for the sake of saying 'something'. Our souls remember, even if 'we' don't.

There is not a song that Heilung has produced that has not resonated with me on a deep spiritual level. Their music is captivating, making me wish I was born in a different time different place.

The band is not a band, per say, but more of an ever growing "folk group" and by their own terms, they perform amplified history rituals. The group is originally formed by 3 people. The girl singing is Maria Franz. She is Norwegian and the guy you hear chanting is Kai Uwe Faust. He is German. The producer of the band, Christopher Juul is Danish and he also performs in the rituals. In a recent interview, they revealed that a fourth singer has joined the group to be performing in future ritual performances, although they have also been inviting local members of tribes, from the cities and countries they have visited in the past, to help out performing at the shows. Also heilung want to be able to include everyone, who are interested, to join the group, as they say (this is paraphrased): "Yes! If you want to and you are able to memorize the chant Hakkerskaldyr, you too can become a Heilung warrior." I am guessing it is a way for them, to connect to the fans and followers who have an interest in the rituals. It is important to note that for the members of Heilung, this is not just for show. The intirety is very ceremonial and every single sound is produced by natural and historical elements that would have been used in the past. They make their own instruments, garments and everything is connected to the spirituality of the old Norse ways and inspired by all sorts of native tribes, from all over the world. I really think this is why most of the KZfaq reaction/content creators are speechless at first, when it comes to giving a genuine opinion about the music Heilung produces.

Think twice. Every child has a potential to bring balance. No need to end anyone.It's important that you don't.

And another analyst stunned into silence. I've seen 6 so far, and the same reaction. This is my absolute favorite by Heilung.

Eivor is going to be opening some of their shows. This may rip a hole in the space time continuum.

Fantastic reaction! Sometimes not saying anything while watching something this wonderful, is the best reaction of all! 💖💖💖👣🌜🌝🌛👣💖💖💖

If I’m not mistaken, the beach scenery is filmed at Kvalvika in the Lofoten region of Nordland county, northern coast of Norway (and it is a muskox) :)

Great reaction. I have watched many reactions and everyone wants to see them live.

You gave the best reaction you Could give by something beautiful like this!!

It’s so cute when the little girl pets the big animal then climbs onto its back and takes a nap. They were banned from some countries because some of their instruments are of human bones or painted with human blood. Great reaction. To many people interrupt the performance by talking and miss the important parts. Good on ya guy! 😊

Having been left in an almost catatonic trance from the Nordic music, dance and surroundings when I started watching Vikings, I had to go in search of more similar styles and came across these guys a couple of years back although different song. This however, same reaction as previously and like yours, could not take my eyes away from it. I adore ‘tribal, indigenous, ethic’ music which so many have this effortless way to captivate and invite you on their journey and their story. It’s like an opera (which ain’t my cuppa tea at all) but when you see those in tears from watching this beautiful story unfold you get it. This is the operatic version. That was so freakn Beautiful If you’ve not already,check out Eivor Palsdottir.….If there’s one thing left to hear before I kick it, it would be her

Love this band, feeling the heritage

She has one of the most insane voices I've ever heard. You have to check out the other songs on their page. They'll blow you away. You will definitely appreciate them. They're live performances are basically an ancient ritual. So good.

I started to read comments after watching this incredible video and I decided to stop, the comments were obviously an in depth explanation of the story of the video, But I wanted to keep my peaceful/meditative perception at least for now. I felt that it spoke of a time when there was a greater connection between people, animals and nature, maybe not everyone had the power of connection but there were special ones that did. They communicated with all living things and understood everything. I know, maybe that’s a fairytale perception, but I love it. Beautiful video ❤️, thank you for sharing, I always watch your Dimash reactions and decided to watch this, so glad that I did ❤️

Yes it was a reaction video. One of the best.

This video.is a min movie sure to get. Awards it a masterpiece like the song

They are touring. New album comes out on the 19th. Tour begins next month.

Those things written on her stomach are called runestaves. They are spells.

Árstíðir - Heyr himna smiður (Icelandic hymn) in train station. Found this years ago and still come back to it all the time. It's utterly haunting and chills up your spine good.

i get a lump in my throat every time i hear this song

It is beautiful in every facet that's for sure, visually, musically, emotionally, my favorite if all time I think.

Great Reaction loved your visual reaction watching the video. I could see your emotions. I guarantee you rewatched it and cried off camera. I sure did. not for just sadness, for the amount of feeling and pure emotion you feel.

I love your reactions to Heilung - keep up the good work!

You got it...this is real „Music“ ❤️

i feel like the way you reacted, or initially non-reacted, is spot on. it is how i saw this the first time. the music and video are both just entrancing and then everything just slowing sinks in with greater depth and you just get spellbound i the storytelling. it is a special experience that grabs ahold of you. i cant wait to see them live in a couple of months and really get to feel it firsthand.

Love this band. I find I have to be in the right head space and have the time to experience the moment when listening.

lol Heilung slays again try seeing them live its called taking part in the ritual and it so is you leave very much transformed

You don’t understand. Yours was the perfect reaction video.

imo Maria is THE best vocalist of the lkast 30 years imo

Don't apologize for not commenting while you watched the video. I'm sure I'm not alone in my gratitude toward you for not continually talking over the video or, perhaps worse, repeatedly stopping the playback to make some offhanded comment. With most music reaction videos I'm more interested in watching the presenter's reaction than in what they have to say anyway, more so with a video as musically, linguistically, and visually beautiful as this one. There's plenty of time to talk about the video after it's been played!

Don't be sorry for not speaking. Every time I see someone pausing a Heilung video to speak I want to yell at them 'Shut the f... up and enjoy the trip!!!'

Good react! Heilung is just one of the best. Unique and meaningful and Maria Franz has such a good voice!

If you ever have a chance to see them live, I'd highly recommend it. (I had the good fortune of seeing them at red rocks amphitheater in Colorado) Also, in addition to a very beautiful video, the sound engineering and mixing on this track are superb.

Magnificent reaction. I admire your willingness to say "I'm not sure what it all means, but that's OK. That's how you should listen to Heilung... let it flow over and through you. meaning can come later

I have been captured by Heilung since I first listened to them. I love their work.

That's an astounding piece of music. Caught the end their set at Graspop this year and it was an experience. Great reaction.

Best reaction Ive seen out of like 12 videos!

Well it's Heilung, no idea what was said, but it's really not important, the feeling oozes from every note. Awesome song, great feels.

Think it was shot in Norway. But let me explode your brain: the girl in the video is named Anoana...!

😊👍

Nordic folktales 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇩🇰

thankyou for not speaking and just focused on watching the video. their is nothing as anoying as when the wiewer thinks hes more important than aktualy understand what you se and what you hear. a tale is all about understanding everything. when you look away 3 sec or make a break to talk you lost understanding half off it :)

If you haven't heard "Traust" I would highly recommend you listen to that one. Their best piece imho.

That last scene is the shamans apotheosis. Weve seen her birth, her youth, her standing in the height of her power, maturity, and understanding. In the final scene we're watching her next elevation to a spiritual existence beyond the mortal, facilitated by the guide (the musk ox) with whom she discovered greatest affinity. Probably because moose are complete douchebags, IMO. 😂

Maria Franz has been around for like a decade now. All she had to do was wear a costume with antlers to get noticed . . .

Great reaction! Since you like this, give "ELUVEITIE - Aidus (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)" a try. It's another masterpiece in it's own

Trust, I have the same reaction and Ive watched this a hundred dozen times. It would be nice to know what the lyric means. Don't think it ever will be (there are multiple conflicting translations already), as the Roman was converted as loaner words into Proto/Norse on the protection amulets (akin to us using MCMVIII for the date 1908 but not knowing this you could be excused to think mmmSEEmmm Veee eye eye eye was a chant and you would find it hard to find a word in English that comes even close to mcmviii), with poor relation to the Proto/Norse language. We don't currently have the Japanese Katakana equivalent here :/

Original Video Link points to the wrong video, just a heads up!👍

... See Faun Gwydion...

onO onAh. Guardian or Spirit of the Land.

if you had paused and talked, it would have been like whiplash being snapped out of the trance. Thanks! PEACE!!!

Hmmm. Sounds like it might have come from a first nations group in northern Canada.

This is in no way ( documentably) traditional. The lyrics are mostly taken from fragments of esetialy dead languages and we have no evidence of any music or instruments from the time at all so far as I know. This is all "Historicly plausible" certain elements of this do give a nod to herding calls of Scandinavia but I don't think it can exactly be thought of as "traditional"

You said in first Heilung reaction you were going to check Nytt land and here you said you think you did... If you did you didn't upload, I can't find a Nytt land reaction scrolling or using search. I would suggest Ritual: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMVzg7R3ucenpHU.html.

Liked you're reaction. I like reaction videos but so time these reactors do too much. Pausing every 5 seconds to talk for 5 minutes is annoying.
