[Torsteinhauger]

The best voice in the world. Queen of the Nord Eivør👑👸🏻.

[xShadowTigeressx]

The choir adds an element of etherealness, a beautifully haunting performance.

[richallden]

I can neither understand or comprehend a single word of this song, but such is the majesty of voice and power of emotion that it can take me to places only my wildest dreams can envision. Thank you Eivør.

Spun in Gold

When I saw the current take you
on the calm sea, I lost myself at the core of the silence.

Tied to my flesh
is the longing, tangled in my mind the expectation. Spun in gold my whole dim soul, glittering alone.

If you come back home,
make a call on me. Wide open my heart's door, a room for you.

Tied to my flesh
is the longing, tangled in my mind the expectation. Spun in gold my whole dim soul, glittering alone.

I saw the current take you
on the calm sea, I lost myself at the core of the silence. If you do return, make a call on me, I wait for you, glittering alone.

In the name of all gods on earth, Eivør 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[williamchristian]

It’s been mentioned.
Her voice is ethereal and summons ancient Viking chants.
You could lay your head back and time travel to a thousand years ago.

[gisellegallegos]

Even though I was born and raised in Peru and we come from different cultures, your voice and your mother tongue awaken deep feelings in my heart, like a timeless memory of being part of that land of ocean, auroras and ice. Thank you so much for sharing so much more than music with your songs 🙏🏾💞😊

[rickardandersson]

Beautiful. Language reminds me of old nordic spoken in a small town in sweden called "älvdalen" rivervalley. Not too far from another town wich Eivor once perfomed with wardruna called "Rättvik" i was there ofcorse, great show.

[windigo]

I close my eyes & hear the voice bouncing off glaciers & icebergs.
This is magical & marvelous.
Eivør is a blessing to the world.

[Scruffers]

This has to be the most beautiful song in the history of songs. The addition of the choir is stunning. The handheld skin drum...simply over the top. The artistry....The emotion...the beauty...so astonishing....

[skyhigoodies]

I just learned of my Norse heritage. You have only made it brighter. Thank you so much Eivør

[winney]

This song is beyond beautiful.. truly takes you on a spiritual journey. A very special experience. Makes you feel like you're navigating a lonesome vessel somewhere in the heart of the ocean, with the sails up, and sea winds carry you further and further on your voyage.

[JulianaInfurna]

This version immediately brings tears to my eyes... tears of nostalgie of a part of my soul that doesn't belong to this world. Eivør, you are amazing!

[valkyrieanduril]

Here are the lyrics translated to english 💞

Spun in Gold

When I saw the current take you
on the calm sea,
I lost myself at the core
of the silence.
Tied to my flesh
is the longing,
tangled in my mind
the expectation.
Spun in gold
my whole dim soul,
glittering alone.
If you come back home,
make a call on me.
Wide open my heart's door,
a room for you.
Tied to my flesh
is the longing,
tangled in my mind
the expectation.
Spun in gold
my whole dim soul,
glittering alone.
I saw the current take you
on the calm sea,
I lost myself at the core
of the silence.
If you do return,
make a call on me,
I wait for you,
glittering alone.

[danielfalk]

You and Einar Selvig are my favourite singer / songwriter. I love every piece of music that you both bear into this world. Cannot wait to see you live someday in the future. Be blessed with love, Eivør ❤️

[BogdanArd]

Wow, wow, wow ... now I can listen Gullspunnin from í Luftini in the morning, official video at noontime and this in the evening. Thank you Eivør

[leesilverness]

My day isn't complete without listening to this at least once.

[hypocritex]

She touches my soul with everything she does. I'm enchanted.

[loqjaw]

I've only recently been introduced to the wonders of nordic music, and this is one of the best!

[Atrox-Veritas]

I swear... you have fallen from heaven, because you sing like an angel! AMAZING!
