Who's idea was it to let Aurora sing with Wardruna? Who ever it was, It was a fucking brilliant idea.

I have been playing this almost non stop for the last ten days since my husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. He was a Viking and Anglo Saxon reenactor and loved Wardruna. It will play at his cremation.

This song was played on the funeral from my 43 old husband who lost the battle against cancer last week. He loved this song and so am. It fits perfect on his funeral he was a viking warior against the cancer battle 😢❤

I was Einar's neighbor for a year a while back, we would say hello and have a chat now and then, mostly about everyday things, changing tyres. A fantastic guy, polite, kind, quite cool. I always felt a sense of calm in his presence. I felt quite starstruck when I met him. Once I told him I liked the album "Yggdrasil" very good. Then he thanked me very modestly. At the same time had started watching Vikings and Wardruna went straight to the core. I recommend everyone to listen to most of what Wardruna has released. This performance with Aurora, who is also an amazing artist, makes me cry, but it gives me an indescribable power throughout me. Goosebumps and well-being at the same time, almost as if the soul is soothed.

I don't have a single drop of Norwegian blood in me, but hearing this kind of music makes me feel proud of a culture that's not even mine... As I read in another comment: "I feel homesick for a place I've never been to"

This sounds how standing on a cliff looking out over a stormy sea feels.

The whole song is amazing, but when Aurora and Einar hit some harmonies, oh my lordy lord

So few people understand that Hel isn’t the same as the monotheistic version of hell. Hel is the Norse version of heaven for those who do not die in battle. Those who die in battle go to Valhalla. Those who die a normal death, go to Hel. It isn’t considered a bad place. Nifleheim is the Norse version of hell.

If Aurora was a siren we would all be doomed to drown in the sea.

I need an Aurora x Wardruna album.. 25 songs deep. Cmon... I need more aurora singing in Norwegian. She sounds so god damn good.

It took me 42 years to find my favorite song.

Aurora's heavenly voice blends perfectly with the epic music of Wardruna!

You know you’re a good singer if Aurora is acting as your backup singer. This man has pipes.

Waiting for that Wardruna, Aurora & Heilung collab... I would die.

Einar and Auroras voice complement each other so perfectly

jeg så en Amerikansk kommentar si at de følte en hjemlengsel for et sted de aldri hadde sett, denne treffer rett i ryggmargen

Doesn't matter what language a song is sung in - you know it moves your very soul when it sends shivers up and down your spine every time you hear it!

I love how Aurora’s dress makes her an avatar of Freyja, with her magic cloak of White Raven Feathers, she can go anywhere, unseen, shape-shifted. She represents Freyja here in my recognition.

I will always cry when I hear this. My father passed away the day we saw Wardruna in Athens last year. This just hit my 🖤differently.

My husband just passed away last Sunday, and this song brings me so much comfort. I will be playing this when we spread his ashes. Blessings to you!

This is literally the only thing left on the planet that makes me feel. Update: I still breathe. This song has always been there for me. I was ready to walk the road to Hel. I had serious depression and I wanted to die. Now I look forward to living life. Hel can wait.

It has to be said...the sound guy's done a fantastic job here.

I'm Polish. I learned every fucking word in this song in Norwegian, never heard anything so beautiful before... I'm crying everytime I hear this masterpiece...

I climb mountains, I recently reached the top of the highest mountain in America, Aconcagua 6962 meters. I can tell you that this music is what I listen to on my expeditions. It motivates me in a way that nothing else does! Thank you so much for this piece of art Wardruna and Aurora 🤩

Scandinavians seem to be the most in touch with nature and spirituality than any other European group. These unique cultures need to be preserved. I love Scandinavian music.

Realyl wish Aurora would do more songs with Wardruna, they are amazing together!

Aurora's voice is the lullaby to my soul.

I saw them recently in Athens at Herodes Atticus ancient theatre, with the Acropolis on one side and them on the other and I have to tell you it was something to live for.

I really wish Aurora would do more Nordic style music, I love her other stuff but the Norse Pagan side of me desperately wants to hear her doing more Norse styled music

Really fascinating to read all these comments from people saying that they don't understand the language but still love the song. And this proves again that music doesn't just use the language of words but the language of the soul. Especially an emotional song like this. I love it.

I literally cry whenever I listen to this song even if i don't understand the language. These type of music is just beyond the physical and words.

Aurora is like.. a Fairy amongst Wolfes who sing in Harmony with the Wind and Moon . It is absolutely amazing and chilling.. i cant believe if just found it now!

I was at that show. Unbelievable performance. I went all the way from Texas to Norway just to see them and will do it again next year.

My husband, Chad Aaron Maples, died on June 7, 2020 very unexpectedly. I saw the whole thing and am very traumatized. I'm supposed to go to the funeral home today to "make decisions". I didn't want to live today. Chad spoke to me and told me to come back to our roots. Come listen to this song again. This song has always meant a lot to us, and now it's keeping me alive. I love you babe and I miss you with everything in me. "You will be free from the bonds that bind you, You are free from the bonds that bound you!"

Soul-healing music, literally

I am Kazakh, but I feel those times of the Scythians, Saks, Huns, when our ancestors were on the lands of Europe. The sounds of the words of Norwegians, Germanic tribes are closer to my soul

My daughter died 4 days ago. My hearth is broken. This song brings me peace and i will see her again on the other site again. We will play this song at her funeral. Thank you Wadruna for this song and for the peace it brings. Hail to all people who suffer loss and pain. May you find peace again.

This track with WARDRUNA, the whole band, and AURORA, deserves to be one of the greatest tracks in the history of KZfaq

This literally make me cry like a baby but not bcz of sadness but because of joy, i felt like it was like a caress to my soul, this song is beautiful

Experiencing Wardruna live was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Crows and ravens actually came to the venue and listened with us. Thank you for all the reverent music you've gifted us with!

Disney couldn’t have found a better “voice of the unknown” aurora is a siren calling from beyond.

Anyone else think this live version is even better than the already awesome studio version?

My son In law passed away unexpectedly two weeks before his baby girl was born...and this is his sleep song. May Odin, Freya and Floki be honored.

I needed this today. I awoke with a start, my body aching, my thoughts a maelstrom of anxiety and self-hatred. I have a lot of work to do so I can bring myself up. This song helps me heal. Thank you.

rolling through the hood with this on blast getting some strange looks from the homies

Aurora fits so well with Wardruna. There are only true artists on this stage ^^

this is absolutely enchanting. i wish aurora did more norse music.

This song is so spine chilling.. its ethereal and makes you long for something you've never known... but when you listen to the words it is hauntingly beautiful and fills you with strength

By far the best version. Einar's deep voice accompanied by this elvish mystical voice of Aurora. She just adds so much to this song. Strong powerful beautiful voice. Just magical and I'm obsessed. I've watched this like hundreds of time. Letting it replay for 3-4 times isn't uncommon at this point.

Please release a single or something of this with Aurora, she really lifts the song into a whole new dimension

Between Heilung and Warduna, I never felt goosebumps so powerful from music. I long for a time I've never existed in and to be in places I've never been where I know deep in my spirit are home. I hope one day to find those places and at least allow them hold a piece of my soul just as I hold a piece of theirs deep in my heart.

When i listen to this song, it feels like i understand what being human means.

This song is like a triumphant blast of the human experience leaving its mark on existence before vanishing into the wind.

I was present at this concert, absolutely breathtaking

Crystal clear voice of Aurora

This song, the way they sing it, it hits something deep inside that I didn't know was there before. It feels so heavy and yet so comforting

I'm seeing people mention that they're from Africa, Mexico, all kinds of places loving this song. I love seeing people come together and express their love for something together. And man there is no better song to come together than this song

I play this for my brother who lost his life 2 days ago. Now he is feasting and drinking in a great hall. So I must not greive his death, but celebrate his life. And I will see him again when that day comes.

Gyönyörű dal, látszik, hogy az előadók is átélik, szinte transzba esnek. Bízom abban, hogy az ősök szellemisége vissza terel bennünket egy élhetőbb világba. Mi magyarok azt mondjuk, hogy az okos ember más kárából tanul, az buta még a sajátjából sem. Elég buták vagyunk sajnos.

This is the blood that courses through my veins. I’m born and raised in Norway and this makes my souls sing.

I’m Swedish and this song makes me miss the old ways and the old gods that celebrated life, death and everything between!

Wardruna and Aurora WHAT why am I discovering this 3 years later

Feels like I'm tapping into a well of emotions from something I haven't experienced in this life. Kinda like being homesick for a memory.

This needs a studio version with Aurora!

It's good to see that many Norwegians are seeking their true cultural identity :) their culture is so beautiful

I lost my wife to Cancer a little over 18 months ago, and I've struggled every day since. On Friday I saw Wardruna in Manchester and they finished with this song. I was floored by the visceral emotions it stirred in me. I held her as she died and passed on. This is something we all have to face, and mark ourselves by. Thank you Wardruna for helping me let her go.

It's been 20 years since that last hug, the love of my live passed away, so young. She looks like Aurora. Now I know I'll see my girl soon.

Hearing this makes my heart yearn for my ancestral and indigenous homelands in Europe, that I’ve never seen or set foot upon. I can’t reach the lands of my forebears, where all my ancestors are buried…where they lived with their families and raised their children…where they fought and died to protect their lands and the people they loved. I’m displaced. I’m in Australia. My feet walk upon foreign soil. My Gods don’t live here. My ancestors weren’t born here and they aren’t buried here. I don’t even know my ancestors old and ancient languages and customs. I feel like my ancestry has been deliberately and methodically destroyed. One day I hope I can go home, where I can take off my shoes and feel the grass beneath my feet, feel the sun on my face and honour the Gods of my people. That’s my dream.

I am Luiseno Digueno American Indian and was raised my whole life drumming, singing and dancing in our tribes way. Makes me feel the same emotions when I hear this music. Goes to prove that we are all primal and in touch with what is real at one time.

Crying like a little kid... This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

I had come across this by pure accident. It was like I was meant to find it. This makes my soul burn bright and strong. It is not just beautiful to the ears, but a full cleansing of mind, body, and soul.

3 years have passed since I last commented on this version of the song...and I am still listening to it every day! So much depth and meaning. It's simply magnificent.

This was published the month my dad passed. Exactly 2 years ago today, we lost him. His father was from Norway. I feel like this song found me today, when I needed it. Incredible music. Tusen takk.

My father died suddenly last saturday. He was best man I known in my life. I played him this version of this song two weeks earlier. Thank You for this song. It warms up my heart, and calms my soul, and will always remind me of him.

Helvegen is a perfect example of how much culture we have lost and how we should return to our roots for the souls of our kin

It's more than music. Emotions in a pure and beautiful form. The whole body receives it.

Death is a gift To live is a privilege To feel is grace To let go is Valhalla

Brown southeast Asian Metalhead here. Damn it Aurora can sing. Her pipes are so clean and loud. Perfect control and harmonic. This performance should be in the CD on the space ship to nowhere. Aliens would love it.

My uncle just passed away and before my mother had finished telling me what had happened, this song came to mind. Rest in peace in Valhalla Uncle Franky.

I refuse to accept that it isn't the highest point of music history. It is perfect in every single note that is played and singed.

2022 and we need this masterpiece more than ever.

Possibly the most powerful song ever sung by mortal man.

As if Einar wasn't already talented enough, you go and put Aurora in the mix. This song makes me feel something that is the closest thing I've felt to primary emotions in years.

when they started playing this song at castle Loket in the Czech Republic, it suddenly started raining heavily and lightning was falling :) the only thing missing to perfection was Aurora..

Wardruna must be one of the few bands that keep the audience muted! not a single person yelling or claping until the song ends. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to see them in Bergen, back in 2014 at Blastfest Festival!

I think the reason this song resonates so much is that we are all fighting our own personal battles, we are all the underdog in our own story, and this song yearns for the need to fight back.

I wish I could push the like button every time I listen to this song.

Listening to this I can feel the connection to my ancestors from Norway, I agree it’s almost a homesick feeling for what once was

“ I feel homesick for a place that I’ve never been to “ I think this is where i say thank you for all the likes..🤍 I still feel the same tho.

I wish this version was uploaded to Spotify!

Odin in Valhalla is sitting back listening to this song, enjoying and relaxing to this beautiful melody.

That horn sound comes from another reality, its unbelievable.

As a Native American, love this, beautiful

I remember being in such a bad place mentally. One day instead of waking up for work I just left my shitty appartement with headphones inside a backpack and walked. Walked not knowing where I was going, I wanted to go far away. I walked as far as I could, walked roads that turned into paths that slowly disappeared as I was just getting lost in the forest. I walked and walked, through trees, cutting rocks and steep hills, my mind rumbling with dark thoughts, so loud that soon I could notice something weird. Where I stopped, in a ravine with a gentle stream was flowing, was complete silence. So I sat. I tried as hard as possible to hear what sound the silence made. And for some reason, like a howl far far away brought by the wind I heard this song. Plugged my headphones, and started to play the album. In my bag I had a small notebook and a pen. During the whole album I just wrote what I was feeling, even if it didn't make any sense. I wrote endlessly crying like a baby, and finally coming to the end of this song, Helvegen, the end of the album as well, I was done. I ripped the pages and buried the under a tree by the water stream. I don't know how but Wardruna made me feel so many emotions at once. Anger, passion, fear, love, ambition, sadness, nostalgia and hope. I let it all out on those poor pages and by doing so, feeling much better. Wardruna probably saved me this day. I have nothing of a scandinavian in me, but it was beyond ethnicity. Thank you Wardruna, you'll always hold a special place in my heart, thank you

Respect from India🇮🇳🙏....We have a saying in Sanskrit: " Veer Bhoge Vasundhara" it means only the brave can enjoy paradise...

The way Aurora moves her hips and feels the music...oh good Freya!

I saw them with my 9yr old son last month. I told my child this is not a concert it is a ceremony and I must say indeed it was

As a Nordic guy this makes me very proud of my heritage . Greetings from Sweden Edit : Sending lots of love to everyone who replied , wherever you guys come from we love you :)

"Helvegen (here featuring Aurora) is a song about death, dying and remembering those who have passed." I didn't understand the words at all and still knew that. The music and singing alone conveyed that.

I'm getting chills from this beautiful song...Aurora is ethereal in that outfit!
