I have a friend from Norway who is pretty popular there, she sings country music, she does FANTASTIC......

We met when I was singing and recording in Nashville, I had no idea Country was so big there.....

Today is Sámi National Day. Here is Sámi soga lávlla - The Sami Anthem. Posting it here, because Elin is a Sami singer from Norway.

LYRICS IN ENGLISH –

Translated byRagnar Müller-Wille and Rauna Kuokkanen

1. Far up North ‘neath Ursa Major
Gently rises Saamiland.
Mountain upon mountain.
Lake upon lake.
Peaks, ridges and plateaus
Rising up to the skies.
Gurgling rivers, sighing forests.
Iron capes pointing sharp
Out towards the stormy sea.

2. Winter time with storm and cold
Fierce blizzards.
Saami kin, with hearts and souls
Their lands do love.
Moonlight for the traveller,
Living Aurora flickering,
Grunt of reindeer heard in groves of birch,
Voices over lakes and open grounds,
Swish of sled on winter road.

3. Summer’s sun casts golden hues
On forests, seas and shores.
Fishermen in gold, swaying
With the golden seas, golden lakes.
Silver Saami rivers gurgling
’round sparkling poles, shining oars.
Singing, men float down
Rapids, great and small,
And waters calm.

4. Saamiland’s people
With unbending strength
Defeated killing enemies, bad trades,
Sly and evil thieves.
Hail thee, tough Saami kin!
Hail thee, root of freedom!
Never was there battle,
Never brother’s blood was spilt
Amongst the peaceful Saami kin.

5. Our ancestors long ago
Trouble makers did defeat.
Let us, brothers, also resist
Staunchly our oppressors.
Oh, tough kin of the sun’s sons,
Never shall you be subdued
If you heed your golden Saami tongue,
Remember the ancestors’ word.
The Saamiland for the Saami!

New video by the best female ski jumper in the world, Maren Lundby. Btw, she won yet another ski jumping competition yesterday. Congrats Maren, and nice video!


Maren Lundby - The Ski Jumping Queen

Because the 4 hour edit window for my previous post apparently seem to have expired before 4 hours...
Edit to add: that Maren Lundby won in Oberstdorf today with a new hill record for the women at 135.5 meters. She set a new hill record in the 1st round with 135 meters and improved it in the 2nd round. Congrats Maren! You're the best!



Maria Haukaas Mittet - London is trouble (Sol Heilo cover) (Hver gang vi møtes 2019)

Madrugada - Half-Light (2019)

Watch the moment come alive in your hands
And watch it slip away once again
Here in the half-light
You see yourself too clear
Till the night comes on then finally you disappear
You gonna need a lot of hope
To get you through this night
Someone that you know
Someone that will treat you right

What's the question that keeps you from your sleep?
What's that promise that you made that you could not keep?
Here in the half-light
You see yourself too clear
Until the night comes on then finally you disappear

Then you feel
Then you feel
Like nothing is holding you back

Then you feel
Then you feel
Like nothing, nothing is holding you back

As soft and white as snow
The sweetness melts the ice
Just someone that you know
Someone who will treat you right

Then you feel
Then you feel
Like nothing is holding you back

Then you feel
Then you feel
Like nothing, nothing is holding you back

Oh, then you feel
Then you feel
Like nothing, nothing is holding you back

Elin Kåven - Friddja


JOIK – THE OLDEST VOCAL TRADITION IN EUROPE

a reply to: Hellmutt

I found this video later and posted it in another thread, but it's easier to find it here. I'm not sure whether this is an official or a semi-official video, but it's very good. Notice the scene where she's talking with an owl. The owl enters the video about four minutes into the video. The lyrics are in my post above.
