Andvevarljod - Song of the Spirit-weavers (Skaldic version)

Einar Selvik performing a skaldic version of the song "Andvevarljod" (Song of the Spirit-weavers) set for digital release 22nd December.

Andvevarljod explores the lore of the Norns, the Nordic deities of fate; the spinning of life threads, as well as the Norse and Sámi common idea that a person’s spirit is connected to the wind, both before and after birth.

_Happy Winter Solstice & Blessed Yule everybody!_
Greetings from Flensburg, where Denmark meets Germany ♡

I don’t think people truly realise what this guy is doing with his voice. His voice is the actual main instrument and is creating the melody, and the string instrument is minimal accompaniment. That is extremely hard to do and not many people can actually do this. Most vocalists rely on the music as the main melody and then accompany it with their voice. His skill is beyond this earthly plane I can assure you that. Well done brother 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[BJB]

yes I am Native American and I believe in "spirit weavers" your songs are very special to me many hugs

[livingoutlouder]

Yule blessings my brothers and sisters!

[thomasnorb]

You saw your first day
Drew first breath
There around you stood nine norns
Wind weaved, wind to life

[Su-dupm]

Waiting for the solstice with all of you, our hearts will be beating with the universe like one heart. I am here

I don’t think he needs to ask that question anymore. This man will have thousands of people singing him to Hel when he passes from this world. As he has sung thousands in turn.

Holy shit this hit me like a ton of bricks. When my son was born some weeks ago he didn't breathe for several minutes but had to get help from several of the medical staff to get started. The lines "Der omkring stod nornar ni, Vinda vevja, vind til liv" is almost a litteral translation of my sons birth, with the norms being several doctors and staff instead. (My son is totally fine nowadays). 
I get a tear in my eye everytime this song comes up in my playlist.
Thanks Einar for making such awesome music! <3

Happy winter solstice. From now our shadows grow shorter up here for some 180 days. I like this day more than the summer alternative. I like it as a geoscientist. I like it also because it is only 20 days until my father used to place butter on the wall of my childhood home. Where the sun's rays first reached down after being away for a while in the valley (we had to go up in in mountains to see the sun during mid winter). The butter melting by sun-light was always an awesome ritual.

I am keen to listen to new music.

No idea what to expect, except for Einar's magnificent voice...

Not understanding a word and yet feeling each one of them in my body and soul. Thank you, Einar.
