Can you share the chords on this Gealdýr? I would like to try to play it.

Vígríðr, meaning ‘battle-surge’, is a large field foretold to host the battle of the Gods as part of the events of Ragnarök. The album explores the sagas which dive deep into the last events of Ragnarök. 

Most of the songs on the album are in Old Norse, apart from Wulf Ond Eadwacer and Middangaerd, which are in Old English. These are Gealdýr’s first renditions of Old English literature.

Váli (Draumr Version) is a special remake of the song Váli from the Vígríðr album. The Draumr Version, with ‘Draumr’ meaning ‘dream’, is created to guide you to a relaxed state of mind and being. The deep frequency allows you to fall into a deep sleep, to relax, meditate and let go.

This song is called Sær what means sea in Old Norse. It’s also the main theme of the EP. It tells a story about a traveler who traveled the seas in each and every world. Sær gives you a very ambient atmosphere so you can feel and experience this journey.


Sær is available on all digital outlets!

Lyrics

Old Norse:

Vestr fór eg um ver 
er til sævar kemr

Svo er mitt of far
fór ek einn saman

Heimi hverjum í 
Heimi hverjum í

x4 
Sær

English translation:

West over water I fared 
to the ancient sea

my course was set 
I traveled all alone

In each and every world 
In each and every world

x4
Sea

Sær

The song ‘’Ginnungagap’’ tells the story of the creation of all living matter. Before the beginning there was only a big yawning void called Ginnungagap. In the northern part of Ginnungagap lays the cold Nilfheim and in the south the heat of Muspelheim. The process of life began when Nilfheim and Muspelheim met in the middle of Ginnungagap.

Lyrics in Old Norse

Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn 
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi

Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána
Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr
Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti 
Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu

-

Of old was the age, when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above 
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere

The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south 
Her right hand cast over heaven's rim
No knowledge she had where her home should be 
The moon knew not what might was his
The stars knew not where their stations were

Sól

Ginnungagap

While facing hardships in his own life, Jonathan Barendsma (Gealdýr) began to understand the healing power that music can have on the soul. Barendsma, was keen to share his story through music. Inspired by the Poetic Eddas and determined to bring the Old Norse wisdom back to life. The name Gealdýr was inspired by Barendsma’s sighting of a white deer in a turbulent phase of his life; it is a combination of the Gaelic word ‘geal’ (white) and the Old Norse word ‘dýr’ (deer).
