Haunting, had never heard it done that way...
Lyrically, it also brought to mind another favourite from JC (RIP);

The Force is Strong With This One
been singing this tune in the car a lot lately.. i reckon you all can figure out what is on my mind!
in light of the july 4th session in regards to singing, i figured i would post this one here as it's very easy to sing along to!
I'll marry my lover in a place to admire, I don't
Have to even ask her, I can look in her eyes and thank God
That I am forgiven, or thank all of my friends
To say I've been true, or they've forgotten
And weary my mind is to say the least, it's been
Awful hard to just stand on my feet, I think
I'll slow down if I am able, I won't drown
In the ocean or starve in my place at the table
Lucky ones are we all 'til it is over
Everyone near and far
When you smile the sun, it peeks through the clouds
Never die, for always be around and around and around
And how is your sister and what of your brother?
Extend hello's to your father and mother
What in the world would cause you any sorrow?
Lighten your load and see how I keeled the wheelbarrow I borrowed
Lucky ones are we all 'til it is over
Everyone near and far
When you smile the sun, it peeks through the clouds
Never die, for always be around and around and around

I ran across this group by accident looking for something else a while back. Great costumes, but they have got to be hot! Interesting sound though- modern age Viking?
I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I think it is a form of Nordic Shamanism, and this song's "War Chant" lyrics, after reading them over a few times back when I posted it originally, brought to mind the thought of "righteous anger" when faced with an enemy that wants to kill you, your family, and your people no matter what you say or do to ask them to stop. Although this "righteous anger" is I think inherently displayed in a more "pronounced" manner? Imagine an invading army going up against these guys! I think most would run back to their ships with their tails between their legs. Seems to me these types of people were much more acknowledging of their shadow selves within, as perhaps how Jordan Peterson talks about growing your monster within, learning to control it so it doesn't possess you, in order that you can become more virtuous and assertive rather than like a helpless passive prey/bunny. But yeah, I could easily imagine people with more "vivid power cells and centers" occasionally losing control of their shadow selves within and then becoming possessed by "it" into full out battles of "fire with fire". Here is another version that has mainly Lifa vocals, and perhaps a bit less "pronounced" events
