Im an Apache, Cherokee, and Mohawk son. The cultures of the vikings and the native americans are so different and yet so similar. Im captivated at the fact that hundreds of years ago our peoples once interacted and even had mutual respect for each other in most instances. Even today, I see comments all the time of natives and people of Norse descent praising each other and admiring each others cultures and how much we really have in common. I love this song and Im amazed at this rendition of it.
Are you human? You can’t keep remaking songs better than the originals, and show perfect mastery of each instrument while doing it, not to mention how many different and unique instruments. Seriously your amazing keep at it.
- На каких инструментах ты умеешь играть ? - Ну всего не перечислить, вот не давно научилась играть на черепе кошки
"I'm an independant musician" - "Cool, what instrument do you play?" "Drums, hurdy gurdy, cat, tegelharp...."
She can sing, she can play any instrument, she can act and cosplay. We must protect her at all costs.
i can feel the natural and native music and i see why the Vikings did it this way. it makes you feel pride, and that can make you powerful back in those days. well played
"Hey, I want to bring my cousin to the next Viking jam session" "Sure, what instrument to they play?" "A skull"
I'm a simple girl. I see Alina, I press "like" even before the video starts. Absolutely amazing!
Between this song and her cover of The Wellerman I count at least ten different instruments this lady plays. That is darned impressive, and her singing is absolutely beautiful.
Ваааау!! Очень красиво спето! А звуки старинных инструментов завораживает 😅 а голос переносит в ту эпоху !!!!
1:09 "Oh, you're in a band? What instrument do you play?" "The Skull"
Fun fact. This was never a shanty, instead this was a poem. A child had taken his first life, killed someone for the first time, and he was in shock but his mother praised him. He then spoke this poem. Roughly this, though, as this version isn't a direct translation, adjusted slightly to work better as a song. But yeah, for those curious about the origin, that's the origin story! Edit: It's from the Saga of Egil Skalagrimson, which is extra info I learned from the comments! Thank you everyone!
I’m in awe over the instruments and of course her voice and style. This is so aesthetically pleasing ❤
i love how itäs not just regular cover but literally playing (in a good way) with the scheme and enchanting it with your awesome voice
I love that this song has become soo popular. My grandmother would sing it to me in Scottish Gaelic when I was a child and hearing it always gives me those memories
What instrument are you playing ? Alina: The skull.
Multiple instruments talented and a beautiful voiced singer. Wonderful!
This woman is amazing ! Everything she sings is perfection !
