Sissel - Å Vestland, Vestland

[crazymelomanka]

the a capella beginning was simply breathtaking

[leifarnefinnstrom]

En sådan röst berör mig djupt in i själen, den är som kristallen i en fjällbäck! Sån underbar motvikt till allt destruktivt vi matas med!! Tusen tack till dig Sissel!

[herning69]

Hun er da bare SÅ smuk og syner vidunderligt.....

[marmann009]

eg må stadig inn å høra på Sissel

[Pinyllia]

Well I was born and lived my child years in Bergen, so imagine how I feel!

[herodianos]

Thank you, very much for your words!!!!!...if so sweet and angelic voice, produces in the heart aleluyas of praises, wich will be the same song of the glorifieds in the eternal home!!!!!!!. Best regard from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[hakkstrom]

lol sounds like swedish like hell!1 or is it ?? =)

[HojoOSanagi]

@hakkstrom

No, it's in a Western dialect, as the song is speaking of Vestland.

[ankra12]

@hakkstrom no, norwegian.

[labanlabansson]

Very good!

But there is a mistake in the translation. In the end it should be "A weil of dreams sweaps around the peaks, and narrow valleys, in the cool summernight.".

[mudakoger]

Imeillos! ;))

[solredoc]

bravissima.

[Wark611]

Love this song! Davide from Italy (some 4000 km from Norway...)

The little, under earthquake in Now Zealand, nation, Hayley Westenra. "Sissel", its magic and charms, as an actress and singer on stage, has the domain magic art, and krow how few faeries, elevate us scstatic to infinite space. She is a mermaid with her charms and spells. "His Holiness"

[Lookstwice]

I´ve just been to Stavanger in Rogaland kommune in Vestland Norway, the city of Stavanger the surrounding nature is breathtaking. I can recomend everyone to visit Norway, the downside is that it´s rather expensive but it´s worth it.

Sissel Kyrkjebö is one of the world greatest artists. I can recomend Stavangers great jazz singer Randi Tytingvåg check her out here on You Tube. Try "Red or Dead".

[kroeg11]

@Lookstwice Thanks for your kind words about Norway, and Stavanger, actually my hometown even if I don't live there anymore. However,  the spirit of this song Vestland, Vestland , is from the coastline further North in Norway. Bergen and the surroundings, the Norwegian fjord landscape which really is breath taking part of Norway.

[Devil9h]

It was writte in Geiranger, Stranda kommune, Sunnmøre (Møre Og Romsdal)

[crazymelomanka]

i can listen to her for hours!!!

[0201rbtjd]

The man next to Sissel is dozing off...I think...;; (0:00~0:08)

[lushlars]

[SisselFanForever]

This is an angel singing....

[TheodorD23]

I believe the instrument is a wind piano, also called mouth organ.

[musicofsissel]

Dear Sisselfan, Could you please tell me what the keyboard instrument is that is in the middle of the song that the man plays with his right hand and also plays by blowing into a mouthpiece on a tube?

[labanlabansson]

This is the most beautiful lyrics that has ever been written. And she sings it like an angel.

[TheEagleoftheEmpire]

Tusen takk. Angelic voice, radiant looks, sends shivers down my spine.

[siljemn]

[coastie378]

He sure wrote a good one. Unfortunately my primary language is English with some German and Spanish thrown in. It didn't stop me from enjoying it and her voice though.
