Показать описание

Grimfrost proudly presents Þat Mælti Mín Móðir (My Mother Told Me) from the album Lärads Grenar. Composed by Einar Selvik and arranged and performed by the Swedish band Hindarfjäll it features Peter Franzén on song. Peter Franzén portrayed King Harald Finehair in the tv-series Vikings. It was Peter, or rather his character Harald Finehair, who sang the song for the first time, popularising and immortalising it.

Here Peter reprises his performance, singing the song in the Old Norse language - just as the poem was originally written by Egil Skallagrímsson. The video, written and directed by Grimfrost, tries to capture the story of the poem, where a small boy is told by his mother that he too will one day buy a ship with many oars, stand in the stern and head out with Vikings.

As an icelander, I found it funny how easy it was to follow along with the lyrics. It is amazing how close the languages were back then. Cant we go back? XD

I am russian. I grew up in West Siberia, in the constant 'freeze', like -40 to -50 °C in February.

2 metres high, 130 kilos of muscles and fat. Learned sword and shield combat and mix fight. Just because i always wanted to.

My grandfather was from Iceland, where I've never been to. While listening to this song, I can truly feel that I was born in a wrong place. Touches my heart.

One day I'll move back to where my roots call me. And i hope those who were born in Iceland will accept the lost soul from the aggressor country as a man of the Norse

This is the version I've been waiting for. Nothing against the ubiquitous English language versions out there, but hearing the song in Old Norse with traditional instruments, makes it truly epic.

Unbelievable 👏🏻

The first time in YEARS I’ve seen actual historically accurate Viking age clothing and settlements done properly. Song properly slaps 👏🏻

Seriously, the costumes and everything are so on point. Even the hairstyles are accurate. Somebody needs to hire these guys for a movie or tv series.

QUICK, someone tell Jackson Crawford; he said someone should do this a while ago. This is like a mini movie! EPIC. All the hardwork to make this. Very well done. 👏

There is an ominous, loneliness, brutality, harmoniousness to this song that instills in me a longing for a bygone era.

Einar is such a hero of modern times. Protecting the culture and passing it to new generations to enjoy. It's great and we need more of this.

Please continue to inspire our generation to embrace our past and never forget where we all have come from. I can not be thankful enough for your hard work to bring back our norse heritage into our modern society and never let our ancient traditions die. You are awsome grimfrost and surely have inspired me to be interested in our old norse culture. Kör på ni är grymma!

Harald & Halfdan : Sing the song melodiously & in sync to show their bond of brotherly love 🥺

Ubbe : Barks the song & stars a rap battle with Othere in old Norse vs old Latin 😆
