As a lighter footnote there are many silly comments to the Heilung video but I liked this one from AlbinoBadGuy: "I watched this one night with me cat sitting next to me. In the morning, my cat brought me 3 squirrels, 2 birds and a Deer."

Gold :-)

Yes I think I get what you're saying also, there's certainly something subconscious going on when I listen to this kind of thing - visceral almost.

'Valhalla' calling I guess?

The Hu's intro from Yuve Yuve Yu probably put it into words better than I can;

It has been so long eating and drinking being merry
How strange how strange
Taking our Great Mongol ancestors names in vain
How strange how strange
Yet, would not honor our oath and destiny
How strange how strange
Why the valuable ethics of ancestors become worthless?
How strange how strange

For those still not sure what throat singing is all about, scroll to 5.50 minute mark of the video below to hear for yourself. Clearest example so far, OSIT. :wow:

If anyone likes that, they may like this:

There's lots of great traditional music on that channel.

I'd recommend the below album too, it's not all throat singing, but it's a nice variety of styles and songs - i'm pretty sure the group are well known too:

 
These throat singing examples are really interesting to listen to and they made me remember a song that I heard in the movie Baraka. I found the song I was thinking of by David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir. It's something called 'polyphonic overtone' singing (wiki). There's already a post in this thread made back in 2011.

Here's the song that is featured in the movie Baraka (sorry, this version is from the 'Blade' movie soundtrack but it's good quality and not edited):

"Rainbow Voice" (from the album Hearing Solar Winds (1982, 7:54 mins.))

 

"INNAN VI FALLER" • BEFORE WE FALL
by Lisa Nilsson and Jocke Berg [2015]


This is a ballade on the heavy / dramatic side - sung in Swedish about the Fall of Sweden - by one of our most beloved artists, Lisa Nilsson and Jocke Berg. It is an astonishing song which (at least to me) gives me goose pimples all over - especially when I let the text sink in deeper. I remember that Lisa Nilsson performed this song in front of the King and Queen of Sweden during the Nobel Prize Ceremony at the City Hall of Stockholm back in 2015.

But It was later I realized the significance of the text - as I started to awake back in 2016 - and with that also realized the Fall of Sweden and the consequences went far deeper - into a version, that has nothing in common with the Sweden I/we experienced back in the 80s (I moved from Berlin to Stockholm in 1984). Two Sweden like Day and Night, totally different countries.



Before we Fall
Innan Vi Faller

We’re moving close to the world’s abyss
You throw a stone into the steamy water
Half way but we are nowhere
We are lost again, we only flow with the streams

What we swore to remember, we forgot
What we should have forgotten, we remembered
If there is any point with hiding
if would be, that we can disappear into our dreams

We had everything
Once upon a time, everything this, was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
- we shall fall apart

We laid down a little rose on her grave
And remembered when she said:

"The new Sweden is cruel, stingy. And ugly.
But life is short, too short to waste it away
Leave hate to the vultures"

Everything we should have saved, we threw away
Everything we had learned, we repressed
Oh Oh everything we should have talked about, we hid away
Everything we said we would remember, we forgot

We, who had everything
Once upon a time, all this was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
- We shall fall apart

We had everything
Once upon a time, all this was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
- We shall fall apart
 
I have loved this song since it's release last year. The official video was dark, and had a more negative vibe to it.
This Video gives it a Vintage Sexy treatment that is Amazing, in my opinion!

 
“Enjoy the Show!”
Enjoy the Show" is a fan song for Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, the fifth entry in the Five Nights at Freddy's horror video game franchise. It was written and performed by artist Nathan "NateWantsToBattle" Sharp and featured internet celebrity Seán "Jacksepticeye" McLoughlin. The song is sung from the perspective of the game's antagonist Circus Baby.

"Captain Nemo" (1990)

from the Album "Where The River Turns To Sea"

This is the rare, original version of the video and original singers from 1990. The Album "Where the River Turns To Sea" was a great success with many beautiful songs. Back in the days of early 90s, Sweden was the 3rd biggest export country in terms of music. You wouldn't believe...
