Einar Selvik - Völuspá (from Vikings) | live at AFO 50

Song from the Vikings series played live in Olomouc (the Czech republic).

Völuspá is one of the oldest and best known poems of the Edda. It tells a story about Ragnarök - not end of the world, but circle of life - if something needs to die, something else needs to live.

this guy has so much talent. Doesn't need to lip sync or have background noise. Very powerful

[sezjamaelstrom]

He has the most comforting male voice I've ever heard.

[Seldomane]

I can't believe how well Einar can keep doing these songs... If I were him and I did this once I would be done for the month, or the year! His voice carries beyond our skies, beyond our eyes, beyond the heavens, to our souls.

Beautiful voice, beautiful instrument, extremely talented guy.

[maxsayre]

Einar is probably the only artist I know that is just as good live.

[nilleglsel]

Dette går rett i hjerteroten....uendelig vakkert....og uendelig viktig....

[Kickstart]

Ok the man has talent and I don’t hate it.. but how the actual hell does this end up in my feed?

[creepykeiry]

Hi!
Do you know what Einar sing verses?
I can hear the first stanza (Hlioðs bið ek allar ...), but I can not understand the rest of the song :/

[jfedorcak]

Selvik was in Czech republic? Where can his tour dates be found? I can't see anything on Wardruna's official website.

[weldorn]

Can someone please, please tell me where I can find more info about that kind of music? I want to go to concerts, find more bands and songs etc. but I don't know where to look

Hail OdinGrey Wanderer For many years You have knocked at the hidden doors to my soul.Patient yet ever insistent: awaiting my response. Hail OdinAll Father:Ye who knows the passageways to my heart.Yet patient, waiting, not treading there within, uninvited. Hail OdinWise OneYou teach me the greater worth of a path freely chosen.i welcome You now into my heart, unfettered by reservation. Hail Odin Spear ShakerYe who incites wars amongst nations and the battles within each heart:You spur me now to rise to Your challenge. Hail OdinOne Eyed GodYour quest unhalted by sacrifice.So do i commit to follow Your will.  Hail OdinMaster of the RunesThrough Your Gift we glimpse the web of WyrdSo do i seek the knowledge Your Staves reveal.  Hail OdinPatron to the skaldsBringer of the mead of inspirationMay my words be pleasing to Your ears.  Hail OdinMaster of Fury: Primal and uncontained: dictated by necessity.May i persevere, unrepressed, in adversity. Hail OdinValföðr:My Your Valkyries find me worthyWhen the web of my life is cut.

[OndskapensHersker]

Are these verses from Voluspá or is this one of Einars songs?
