LYRICS:
SKÅL Gavin Dunne 2023
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song
At the end of the eve
We'll be welcome and warm
By a great roaring fire
Our voices a storm
In the warm timber halls
We will keep out the cold
As we bellow and belt out
These tunes full of soul
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song
We're welcome and warm
Our voices a storm
Our voices, our voices a storm
Raise your horns into the air
There is plenty ale to share
All are welcome, take a chair
And sing a song loud and strong
Men of war and men of care
Maidens fierce and maidens fair
Raise your horns into the air
And sing a song loud and proud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
Sing loud and strong
SKÅL!
SKÅL!
A toast and a thundering song

When I wrote Skål I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be a folk song or a metal song... so I once again decided... why not both! Enjoy :) Check out my new Skål merch in the links below the vid too! Don't forget to share with a friend if you enjoy the vid and if you love my tunes you can support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/miracleofsound P.S. For those asking: Here are some things I am eyeing up for songs this year: House Of The Dragon, Starfield, more Elden Ring, Irish/Celtic history and some other surprises!

You can tell how much Gav enjoys this genre from just the comments of, "Alright, I don't want to burn myself out and get into a rut, so this is the last norse song for a while", followed immediately by, "...Alright, THIS is the last one." Respect to wanting to make sure you stay diverse with your music while also clearly loving this kind of music and wanting to always do more.

I've been a fan of the Miracle of Sound project since 2009, when Mr. Dunne first posted a link to his then brand new song Gordon Freeman Saved my life on a random page of a random topic of the Escapist forums. 14 years I've been a fan of this project, 12 of which I have referred to it as my favourite band. Here's to a decade and a half of excellent music, Gavin; you keep making miracles and I'll keep listening to them!

The first time I listened to your songs was in ~2012 or 2013 when my friend shared one of your songs with me. I listened to all your songs back then, I loved them crazy. After a few years, I switched to other bands and for some reason completely updated my playlist, I graduated, moved to a different city, got married, got divorced (xD), moved to another city and then... came across one of your songs again. I immediately added all of them back to my playlist, I couldn't believe I hadn't listened to them for so long. Two years passed and your songs are always with me on my phone, I listen to them often, they lift me up when I feel bad and they accompany me on every journey and sometimes just in the middle of the day. I don't stay in touch with the majority of people from 2012, but it's a miracle that your songs are still with me after all this time, after all the changes that occured in my life. Thanks.

I literally just found Miracle of Sound a week ago and I am already obsessed with the songs. What got me hooked on Miracle of Sound was Valhalla calling me. Which I still listen to on repeat. When I saw that Gav had done a collaboration with Sharm, I became super excited. I have been listening to Sharm for years. Anyways! Hope everything is going well. Have fun and totally looking forward to whatever else you come out with. Hoping you will do more songs with Sharm in the future.
