Great people great culture that must be preserved.

What a beautiful land and people. Please maintain your way of life and don't let anybody in who does not respect your culture , traditions history, language and general life style..

When I first started my music career, everyone thought I was from the Faroe Islands. All just because I put that as my hometown on my MySpace music page. Ever since then, I've wanted to go play shows there.

This makes me proud to be faroese!

Beautiful Faroe! One of my favourite spots around the world. Absolutely love it!

Beautiful islands,beautiful music!

i know where im going for my holidays this year! greetings from Ireland!

A beautiful land who's culture and traditions should be preserved, don't let the "SS" bully you into changing who you are. You are a proud and noble people who have not forsaken your hunting and gathering roots and that is ADMIRABLE!

God bless the glorious Faroe Islands. From Japan.

This is woman's view of Faroe Islands. I like it very much. Thank you.

My heart is full of joy.

This song was made by a Faroese band called Frændur, written and composed in the 1980ies I think it was. It is very popular in the Faroe Islands. This is a new version arranged by Sigrid Sivertsen, sung by her choir Xperiment. The singer of Frændur who song this song is Steintór Rasmussen. You can see it / hear it in the Frændur version here on RU-vid, if you search for "Lívsmynd", there is a video where they perform Lívsmynd at the Summerfestival in Klaksvík 2009

what more can a person ask. "beautiful"

I found the island just beautiful..and the song/music..wish i could go atleat once in my lifetime !! Greetings from India

There is someone like I Raven in the world. I do not understand why this person ever could say such a terrible thing for these beautiful islands with many nice people! But because some one like this self centered egoistical shallow person hypocrite exists, your beautiful county is becoming very famous in Japan. We love you. One day, I would like to come to visit such a beautiful place. Don't worry any words of violence like what I Raven said. Our love is stronger than any this kind of Hate. From Tokyo JAPAN with LOVE!!!

Amazing film - wonderful !

I have lived in Northern Ireland my whole life.But I can hear the call of my ancestors.I hope they could accept me my whole life.I can't speak their language but feel part of the north,I love the north.

English translation. It does not capture the rhythm or exact words, but it is as close to the original lyrics that I could get: --- I am still young and still in good spirits I need no birth certificate to prove that I do not remember my christening nor my crawling days Now I am old enough to understand what and why I will love I will sing I will embrace love I will look for the places where I will find the truth My life is my masterpiece I paint every day If I get to a hundred years it still will not be done The hope is that my picture a gentle shade will have When people all around the world acquire freedom for themselves I will love I will live I will sing peace songs With as many people who always... Will cry Will laugh Wish for peace in this world And with trust in one another Learn much from life

Heaven on Earth ! 😍

Their eyes are really beautiful

Oh how beautiful ! i dream of living there :( ♥

Faroe Islands is a beautiful country and good country for living.

Love this video! It definitely made me miss my home.. I can't wait to move back home and settle down on these great islands after studying abroad for several years ! :D

Thanks from Texas!

I have no idea what the music is saying, but I like it.

Che bello !!!

I've been there! Wonderful place and people!

Beautiful song!! I am definitely planning to visit Faroe this year

Would love to live here but my only gripe would be having to take constant trips to the mainland to get various supplies and services.

Great pictures! And I thought Scotland was a beautiful country. The Faroe Islands are up there too.

What a lovely island ,many thanks. Warm greetings from the garden island of Kauai

Hermoso.

Well, very nice ... The islands, the people and the culture

I am disappointed with the publishers comments of this video. Why after on after 900 years should the people of the Faroes give up something that feeds the nation of people. They don't need other culture to feed from. After all we Norse ruled a great many territories. We are great explorers and travelers. It is in our traditions it is who we are.

Gorgeous! Want to visit but will never be able to... Lovely video, thanks did sharing... Unsuccessfully tried to find this song to buy... The villages are so storybook... Are there a lot of visitors each year?

I livet there! Føroyar er tað besta landi nakrantíð!

Yes and I love eivør!

Really I love the island and I want to visit the island

This land is really peace of heaven love from Pakistan

Colder and wetter than even the UK! It looks beautiful, but I can’t even handle UK weather so I’m afraid I must head south!

this land like Heaven!

How we can preserve whole earth like this pleasing

beautiful

A video with many, very beautiful pictures from one of the most beautiful places on this planet becomes a political/moral discussion about killing whales. Really a pity! How can you call the Faroese people barbaric, just because some of them kill whales? You are really very unfair to the Faroese people. Read more! You act as if they'd kill whales every single day, which they do not! I'm not saying that killing more animals than necessary is good, but don't judge the whole people for what few of them do. I'm planning to travel to the Faroes this year and I can't wait to get there.@Alessio M: very good video, beautiful pictures and good music, thumbs up!

que lindas minitas!

It’s heaven for white people. I love white culture more than any other.

Are there any direct flight from Louisiana? I want to go to the Faroe islands!

Beautiful song ;0)

1. They are killing for food. 2. They way they kill the pilot whales is usually done by severing the top of the spinal cord, this is incredibly quick, far faster at killing the whale than most ways to hunt whales. And far faster than most fishing. 3. The number of Whales they are hunting is sustainable. 4. The reason why the water is so full of blood is because the spinal cord is severed, this is a very quick way to kill the whale also the hunts take place in shallow water, not out in the ocean. This creates a strong visual impact that is being politicised by groups like Greenpeace, to recruit more members. 5. Traditionally this was an essential food for almost all on the islands, today it is still essential for some but not all, however to claim that this whaling is unjust because it is not essential for all, is the same as saying that millions of people should stop eating fish because they could eat crops. 6. To claim that this is simply done for tradition is a lie... simple as that, it is done for food! 7. What Greenpeace and other groups are to an increasing extent doing is bringing intense international pressure onto a very small nation with a small population. To some extent this is tantamount to imperialism. Groups such as Greenpeace primarily recruit from parts of the world where the killing of animals is done out of sight and out of mind, and the vivid image of whaling in the Faroe islands is not something the majority of Europeans, Americans etc. are exposed to in fact it is not something that many people around the world see. To put huge international pressure upon these people because you don't like seeing animals being killed, whilst you live in a world were your friends, your doctor, your nurse, your local shop owners, your hairdresser and so on eat meat, is only hypocritical. You benefit from those people in society even if you yourself do not eat meat! To claim that the killing of animals in the Faroe islands is any worse than the killing of animals in Britain or America, or France etc. because the killing of animals is hidden is simply idiotic. 8. There is also an element of racial discrimination in the argument against this hunting, it is expected that because these people are white European and therefore Western looking that means that they must conform to Western norms. The reason behind this is that Western standards say than animal slaughters takes places out of sight and out of mind, and to deviate from these standards could only be justified if you were not Western, or if you were impoverished and had no choice. So because the Faroe islanders look western it is a way of hiding the imperialist element of the argument against this whaling. 9. To direct arguments against Faroese whaling at Denmark simply demonstrates the lack of understanding these against this activity have of the situation. The Faroese people have autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark! They have home rule! Although some aspects still remain the responsibility of Denmark. 10. The argument against Faroese whaling is characterised by ignorance, imperialism, and a complete lack of comparison between this and other sorts of animal killing. There seems to be a general sense of snobbery from those against Faroese whaling against those who practice it.

Aw the facebook page link to the music doesn't work. Pity no idea what they were singing but I love it.

Love ❤️ your islands and it's on my wish list to visit in this lifetime preferably sooner than later. Hello from California USA 🇺🇸

Faroe Islands is a wonderful country.

Nice video 👍👍

Awesom....

حلووووووه ان شاء الله اروح لهاااا

so many high and mighty people. who gives a fuck they are whales. like i mean save the whales and all but nothing wrong with eating them too.

Legal, lindo lugar ❤️🇧🇷

beautiful place to go i may go before i die for shure

I respect the Faroese and their traditions. I don't see the Grind as anything bad, but basically not much different from any other fishing. Just as long as they are responsible and don't endanger the whale population and don't waste the animals they kill

Einfach unbeschreiblich wunderbar 😃 du

Is this faroese music?

I have a serious question! When in the past did these people raised sheep? After all it's called the land of sheep and barely I can see any sheep.

wich camera did u use??

Faroese as wild as the Japanese but you will learn to know the determination of our team! The grind will soon be a bad memory. The black flag flown proudly in these fjords!! LIVE SEA SHEPHERD! STOP KILL PILOT WHALES !

Dreamy...

They played Malta last week for a tie, here in Malta.

We have also Faroe in the phillipines, it was batanes

Since when was eating food not ok ???

The only thing that keeps The Faroe Islands from being paradise is their too easy on & friendly to Eco Terrorists. Hospitality has limits especially when abused by criminals.

@heri I go through this every time I tell someone I was born in the Faeroes. It appears most peoples knowledge of the Faroe Islands whaling come from TV and the Internet. Of course this information again is always biased. Try to educate a oppose to argue. Some people you'llnever get through to but some people just don't know any better and those are the ones you can turn in your favor.

3:37 In this video was Icing On the Cake for me. As beautiful as the Faroe Islands are, they fall short to her.

2:40 and 3:37... wow!!!

I love life in Iceland

WOW THESE PEOPLE ARE UNIQUE.

2:42 Who wouldn't hunt whale for this hotty? FAROE ISLANDS RULE!

Vay be ,,, Ne kadar güzel yerler, biz nerde hata yaptık

thank you :)
