The gods are smiled at me when I found your channel. I have an addiction to culture, folksongs and folklore. Specially European.

It is heartwarming to see how you love your culture and tunes. We must protect that at any cost, in my understanding this is how we are living through life and death. Our language and culture is the most important thing to preserve.

I would listen to your singing untill the sky starts falling. My heart is full of joy, when I watching your videos.

Thank you Emelie, you restored my faith in humanity.

This tune is also widespread in Norway, with a number of regional variations and lyrics. A number of regions consider this tune representative of their regional tradition. To be so deeply embedded in the music of so many regions in Scandinavia, this must be an old tune that traveled far in its day!

Hello Emilie! If it strikes your fancy I would love it you could make more videos of you performing all these little tunes, you make some of my favorite renditions of them but I can only listen to them in the middle of tutorials, I really wish you had proper recordings of them because they're so good :') Lovely informative tutorial as always!
