Myrkur – I riden så 

(Performed outdoors on a mandola)

Lyrics:

Å Silibrand körde uppå höga loftessvala
Allt under den linden så gröna
Där fick han se sin dotter i lunden fara
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Å välest mig välest mig vad jag nu ser
Allt under den linden så gröna
Jag ser min dotter hon kommer till mig
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Å Silibrand fämnar ut kap-pan så blå
Allt under den linden så gröna
Där föder hon två karska svenbarnen på
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Min fader skall jag giva min gån-gare grå
Allt under den linden så gröna
Som han skall rida till kyrkan uppå
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Min syster skall jag giva mina guld-ringar sju
Allt under den linden så gröna
Som jag ej haft sen jag stod brud
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Min broder skall jag giva mina hand-skar små
Allt under den linden så gröna
Som han skall ha lik-vart han går
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Den ene så för dom till Frejas dop
Allt under den linden så gröna
Den andre så för dom till Vallhalla sal
I riden så varliga genom lunden med henne

Polished, acid-etched sphere of an iron-nickel meteorite. The pattern of intergrown crystals is called a Widmanstätten pattern. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it in a sphere before – looks like some of the crystals actually go from side to side and basically create circles on this surface!

Lyrics in Faroese:

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg
Galdramaður festi meg festi meg
Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál
Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg
Galdramaður festi meg festi meg
Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót
Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð

English translation:

Spellbound am I, am I
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul
In my heart burns a smouldering fire, smouldering fire

Spellbound am I, am I
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound in my heart’s root, my heart’s root

Did anyone else just get the shivers? Cuz I’m definitely getting the shivers.

Btdubs, the singer is Eivør Pálsdóttir.

That’s some real-life Ithildin right there *_*

Snow Leopard– Shearwater

The way is to climb
The way is to lie still
And let the moon do its work on your body

And then to rise
Through forests and oceans of lives
And through the way of the black rocks
Splitting, wide
And flow
Ten thousand miles.

Well, I’ve had enough
Wasting my body, my life
I’ll come away, come away from the shallows

But can this sullen child
As bound as the ox that I ride
Climb to the heart of the white wind
Singing, high
And blow
Through my frozen eyes?

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
Every nighte and alle,
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
And Christe receive thy saule.

When thou from hence away art past
To Whinny-muir thou com’st at last

If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,
Sit thee down and put them on;

If hosen and shoon thou ne’er gav’st nane
The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane.

From Whinny-muir when thou may’st pass,
To Brig o’ Dread thou com’st at last;

From Brig o’ Dread when thou may’st pass,
To Purgatory fire thou com’st at last;

If ever thou gavest meat or drink,
The fire sall never make thee shrink;

If meat or drink thou ne’er gav’st nane,
The fire will burn thee to the bare bane;

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
Every nighte and alle,
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
And Christe receive thy saule.

There’s this feeling I sometimes get watching humans do the cool things that humans have been doing for thousands of years. It makes my chest expand and my heart thud and I love it. I love this.

Los Guisados de la Berendjena 🍆🍆🍆 – Aman Aman

“Sephardic song from Rhodos, Greece. The title translates to “the ways to cook eggplant”; other versions are titled “Siete Modos” (“Seven Ways”). This interpretation is by Aman Aman, a joint project by the Valencian band “L’Ham de Foc” and some Greek musicians.“
