I like the lyrics: Can you hear me calling I am distance, longing, wisdom Come to me, let me guide you Descend to me And find the light in the dark The call of the distance He pulls me out to sea Oh how I long for Burning deep in the heart I breathe the cold air I live only for you The sail hard on the wind Until I finally find you Can you hear me calling I am distance, longing, wisdom Come to me, let me guide you Descend to me And find the light in the dark The waves beat rough I taste your salty heart Your roaring daughters Giving me her loyal companionship A dark storm is approaching The thunder sends me a last light The waves swallow my ship I die only for you Can you hear me calling I hear you I am distance, longing, wisdom Come to me, let me guide you I follow you Descend to me And find the light in the dark Fara til Rânar Come to me Sitza at Rânar Let yourself fall Fara til Rânar Climb down Sitza at Rânar Longing and wisdom Forever united Can you hear me calling I am distance, longing, wisdom Come to me, let me guide you Descend to me And find the light in the dark
Love the album, knew I would. This song from front to back is perfect. Love everything about the intensity of his vocals leading into the glorious chorus. Couldn't click on this reaction any faster
The whole album is absolutely perfect. So melodic and emotional, with the intensity that Varg do so well, always. I agree; the vocals on both the woman and the male vocalist are so well-tuned together and amazing. I fuckin' love it.
Apparently didn't know my Norse mythology. "According to Rudolf Simek, "... Rán is the ruler of the realm of the dead at the bottom of the sea to which people who have drowned go." Simek says that "while Ægir personifies the sea as a friendly power, Rán embodies the sinister side of the sea, at least in the eyes of the late Viking Age Icelandic seafarers."" "The Old Norse common noun rán means 'plundering' or 'theft, robbery'. In turn, scholars view the theonym Rán as meaning, for example, 'theft, robbery'. On the etymology of the theonym, scholar Rudolf Simek says, "although the meaning of the name has not been fully clarified, Rán was probably understood as being 'robber' ... and has nothing to do with [Old Norse] ráða 'rule'." In Swedish, the word for robbery is 'rån'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A1n
I'm definitely not remotely fluent in Icelandic, but I'm pretty sure the preposition "til" comes together with genitive, so "fara til ránar" has to be incorrect. Somebody may correct me on that, if I'm wrong. Cheers and thanks. Also, don't like the song, but I'm not a fan of this band, anyway. PS: He definitely mispronounced the word ránar. It's not important to most, I know that, but I'm allergic when it comes to this.
Your comment got me thinking a couple of thing, so heres some ramblings. First point of order, is it meant to be Icelandic or old Norse. Would it be Ráns in genitive? Im a bit unsure how to interpret Ránar, is it a proper name or a noun, dunno if that factors in. I hadnt thought of it but I guess gen. comes to play in swedish till also but theres a difference between 'till havs' and 'till havet'. The following phrase has Sitza at Ránar, but that seems less nordic, maybe they've just put some german lyrics in google translate after all...
@@bodenlosedosenhose1590 He mentioned in the other video that it was actually old Norse. I looked it up and singular feminine genitive looks to be an -ar ending. That seems to be true for icelandic also though.
