Teitur-- You're The Ocean

[deepcut66]

Very involving, i like the moody stuff. Check this guy :

youtube.com/watch?v=l4EBK0gQwf­4

[m1c1gough]

this song is brilliant, this performance was brilliant, and Teitur is brilliant. And I don't know why people are arguing over where he's from...it certainly isn't this planet.

[cyberspace123]

saturday night so sorry for my spelling :) :) in last comment

[cyberspace123]

Hey out there Teiturs last name is Lassen typically danis last name - but i think he would not be as good and special if he is if had been living in denmark.

But denmark roules annyway and with out us you would be a big bank collaps so let us help you as a firend not as an emeny - like england we let you go when you can tak car of you selves - we are still a bit viking but no longer violence ones

[tkblfc]

@cyberspace123 he's Faroese, NOT danish !

[cyberspace123]

@tkblfc I know he is not danish but Faroese and has always known - sorry not mentioning it anny clearer in my coment - he might be half dane due to his last name lassen .... but thats another storry

[BahFo]

@cyberspace123 meh, faroese kind of adopted some danish surnames for obvious reasons (hey, we're still under your crown, whether we like it or not), does not mean everyone with a "danish" surname is related to denmark within the last few generations :)

[HBthebest99]

@cyberspace123 well, det var danmark der var skylden i at Eik bank gik konkurs så tak for det

[Ihdumille]

One of the reasons Denmark would want to classify the Faroe Islands as Danish would be that Teitur would be all Danish. Unfortunately he isnt and luckily he isnt. Teitur is amazing just the way he is, so why change anything :)

[Jeepgirlcj7]

I LOVE this song..in fact I love the album. I happened to stuble upon it on another channel..what a great find! Thanks youtube!

[KHRRTP]

Just read all those comments about whether he is Faroese or Danish or whatever, but does it really matter, as long as keep on making these great songs?

[dupontman]

VI ELSKER FÆRØERNE <3 Danmark

[MiaMountainLover]

hehehehehe he said TieTur ..... hehehe funny..

[iamwhitneyiamfree]

Victory.

[romansdad9]

Such a beautiful song! This may be better than the album version!

[SpurvurUgla]

I can only spot one silly Dane on this site...

[SpurvurUgla]

@ThePrincessMeowMeow

Get some self confidence, and stop writing bullshit

[SpurvurUgla]

We have NEVER been a colony. Greenland WAS a colony until 1950. The Faroes never had colonial status. We were a county with some extra bonuses, before that we were part of Norway, and even before that we were a country (o:

@ I would just say to you ToldoMexes: far og fleyga tær. (o:

[ToldoMexes]

I would just say faroe island people. be glad that you have the support of Denmark, you lost without us. You can do nothing on your own, you're lyke 45.000 people and he is the only one who is known!

[Deshollinador]

@ToldoMexes Ignorant remark alert...

[WriteNRockit]

Found out about this guy just in time to see him play in Copenhagen tomorrow night. Hell yes.

[hateyouifyoukillme]

Haha, colony... priceless

[Blomstur]

Randimable, I'm not a 100% you really know, what you are talking about.

Themightychickens thoug, he seems to get it. I'm from the Islands to..

[themightychickens]

@Randimable The Faroe Islands colonial status ceased in 1948, and are now, as I just said, an autonomous province of Denmark.

Way to "know what you're talking about", bellend.

[themightychickens]

@Randimable Danish colony? Wat?

Last I checked, we were an autonomous province of Denmark. There's a difference.

[33Juliette33]

This songwriter seams to be a very special guy - Teitur, so great!

He ist the fire – and I know a woman, she feels like an O-cean;

I think, they know about this energy,

and about the rhythm of love,

who is inbetween everyone.

So the one love will come truth.

With love - J.

[Lippreader]

So you say the faroe islands is a danish colony? you should try to do some research

[summerpeace9]

awww the ocean :D

[Lippreader]

Saying Teitur is Faroese and NOT danish is the same as saying New Yorkers are New Yorkers and NOT american. Try to control your pathetic patriotism dudes

[SnowblindHallur]

@Lippreader No it's not the same thing at ALL. New York is located in America, and not in the middle of the sea, in some islands for itself. If you go back when India was a British colony, do you think anyone who loved being in India, would refer to themselves as British, when they had lived in India their whole life? No, just no.

[peternaur]

WOOW! What a blistering performance! The c-part, or the contrast part gave me the chills! And also, songs written in open tuning are awesome!! And by the way, no Dane would ever mistake Teitur of being Danish, we know he is Faroese :) I'm a Dane you see ;)

[TokiThor]

He's FAROESE and NOT Danish END of discussion!

[fidelio1980]

Did the host pronounce his name correctly - with the emphasis on the "tur" rather than the "tei"?

[randomraindeer]

@fidelio1980 no unfortunately, the correct way to say it is with emphasis on "tei".

[iekp]

@fidelio1980 the emphasis is on tei, but its soft. thai-tur.

[malkeh2008]

Beautiful....he is universal...don't be a hatahhhhh,.....

[datta17]

perfect

[aimokz]

Teitur is better than any artist that exists today. His melodies are absolutely beautiful and he's a huge inspiration to us all!

[deliekem]

love it!

[buntin85]

Wow!

[KKuf277]

Perhaps my favorite song of all time. So beautifully written! I can't get over it.

[Deshollinador]

Danish kingdom... There those silly Danes go again with their colonialism :)

I'm just glad Teitur already has stated that he is Faroese, and even offered his acceptance speech as "Best Male Artist" at the Danish Music Awards, in his native language, so as to set the record straight that he is Faroese...

Give credit where credit's due... To him and to his country...

[SkateNLol]

@Deshollinador luk nu røven.

[Deshollinador]

@SkateNLol Nej

[ThePrincessMeowMeow]

@Deshollinador fucking fag.. of course he is native Faroese, but don't call Danes silly.

Remenber we raped their grandparents, which means must of their blood, and their language is shaped by our colonialism. You should be happy Denmark released them and now just have them as a state.. or would ever you would call monarchy.

[Deshollinador]

@ThePrincessMeowMeow

You're right. I shouldn't call Danes silly. That was uncool amd untrue

That being said. The rest of your post is just laughable and I am pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about...

[Soraplushie]

@Deshollinador Well... I'm a dane and what ThePrincessMeowMeow writes is actually to some extent true.

You must keep in mind that Denmark was inhabited by vikings and yes we did rape, murder and colonise what wasn't ours to begin with.

[Deshollinador]

@Soraplushie Well... I'm Faroese and while that might have happened, I doubt there would have been rape, murder and colonising in an area which was under Scandinavian control for many years both before and after the Viking era.

I can see that my account name might have thrown you, but I know my history and yours.

[RakeHumping]

@Deshollinador I really don't see why everyone cares so much XD... I'm part Faroese and part Dane, and I'm being the sane one. just appreciate the music. : P

[Deshollinador]

@RakeHumping Yeah you're probably right about that. Thruthfully, I don't care that much about Danes getting these things wrong, that's of course not what's important. On the other hand, if one never says anything, people might think that one or the other side are right when they aren't.

So sometimes I comment and sometimes I don't.

This time, I commented.

[qellan]

he's from Faroe Islands !!

[berir7]

FØROYINGUR!

[afa1234afa]

Love this song!!!

[Tocker2103]

Find tabs at Ultimate-Guitar , and please rate!

[Ahnyanka]

I can't believe he was on the bullard show. :)

[kapp00]

Teitur is making some of the most nice and chilling music ever, hes an real artist, not like all the other radio music...

[Magicbrianwood]

an exceptional talent and this is one of the most commercially dynamic songs from his repertoire .

[klintlyng]

Teitur er fuckin Føroyingur...!

Tjóveldi...!

[saudoo]

I bet that's good! Right?!

[WannaRemainUnknown]

yeah, it is

[Rakukk]

hann hevur brúnkrem á 8D!

[WannaRemainUnknown]

haha xD

[Rakukk]

ja :i

[nanno1515]

yes.

Sorry .: )

[nanno1515]

what is the chords ?

[IndieLeon]

Don't you mean 'what are the chords?'. Come on guys, just because we listen to some of the best music in the world it doesn't mean that we can forget basic literacy skills. Just thought I'd just go and get that off my chest, sorry for being so harsh about it. I'll buy you some chocolates or something 'kay? ;)

[curlyTP]

hs it ever occurred to you that it's maybe not all who are speaking english? And comes from a different nation and therefore has a harder time with the "literacy skills" as you put it..?

[Ahnyanka]

look it up. There are tons of websites.

[frathomon]

Does somebody know the tuning he's using for this song?

[zwiebackdude]

he uses an open-d tuning with the capo on the 3rd fret.

[jealouskind]

wow, that was an absolutely fantastic performance.

[Schneeerich]

amazing song.... love it !

someone have the tabs ?!?!? cant find them anywhere !

[hmsanteria]

amazing guitarist!

i cant wait to learn the chords for this song=]

i&hearts;teitur

[treehugger02084]

wow, this was such a great artist that i stumbled over!!! does he sing in faroese as well? i think he is amazing!!!!

[llMusicMusicMusicll]

Yes, he sings in Faroese as well. :)

[MarsOntheRocks]

@treehugger02084

Yes he does sing in faroese as well ;)

[321GonnaLoveToday]

I'm a girl who's still not free. But I dream of one day singing this song to someone who's book I just barely opened and wrote just a few lines in. If you're reading this... maybe we're both.

[buell41]

thats a creative comment.

[nannajuhl]

jaa, elsker den her sang.

[mikkelafl]

He's not Dutch... He's from the Faroe Islands, which is under the danish "kingdom", we speak danish in Denmark, not Dutch;)

[nanobooo]

JOHN MAYER RAVES ABOUT THIS ARTIST!!! I see why...nothing boring here.

[bracherbeach]

this is what music is all about!!!!!!

[tmplace]

there really isnt a single person that can figure out the tab for this? i know that theres an alternate tuning so it really slows me down. please help.

[nanobooo]

I can tell he's tuned to an open major key, when he strumms. Aurally he's playing in F. However, the capo is on 3. That means his guitar is tuned to open D. Is that enough to start?

[Sebceleb]

du er så rå mayn :D

[shaggyluvscows]

hes amazing:)

[TribalChurch]

Just looked him up cos he's playing at Electric Picnic music festival - liked him instantly! Hopefully, I'l get to see him live!

[noolvide]

I love this song and the reason i joined youtube ! I am very glad thet youtube has this song!and thank u for having this song sweetsavich thanks again.

[dw2345]

never heard of him until now....he knows how to write good music...this is real music..not the shit on radio these days...damn good song...!!

[gnaslgufi]

He looks retarded hehe, but he is truly amazing

[QCacd]

masterpiece... no doubt.

[Dmajorproductions]

i heard him on a radio station in tucson arizona called 929 the mountain

a number of years ago and fell in love with this song!!! the studio version is a bit better,search it

[ICouldNever]

could someone tab this?!!!!

[llMusicMusicMusicll]

Teitur is pure wonder. This is real music!

[hespagorat]

Us Faroerians are the greatest I daresay.

[VikiChylde]

Why didn't I hear about this guy before stumbling upon him on youtube?!?!  He's great!!!

[nanobooo]

He's Dutch and his country doesn't know about marketing.

[BATMANBLA]

we speak faroese in The faroe islands not Danish you idiot

[nicolaipuls]

(and danish)

[iLikeDirtySpoons]

No. Just Faroese.

Although Danish is considered our second language, most Faroese people are nationalists and try using Danish as little as possible.

[faroeme]

HE IS NOT DUTCH?. he is from the faroe island, idiot :D

[TheFrecklish]

He's not dutch, he's faroese...o.o

[DarknessHowls]

Such a cool folky sound. I like it, a lot! :D

[blackfang84]

Wow.. he is great =)

[stevies5]

My mate Agrajag told me about this guy.. Damn good!!!

[hamboggy]

[Dlihnyrb]

Teitur is from the Faroe Islands! One of our most talented musicians

Vit elska øll Teitur!

[Lassevj]

Do you got any other musicians?

Hahaha

[youracademy]

He is so very talented.

And as for his looks, he looks very charming and sweet, intelligent.

[dane3456]

agreed who gives a shit about looks your listening not looking anyway. fucking awsome song

[aabergen]

Love this song... great lyrics

[bobbelibob]

This version is much better than the album version.

[tuta1lee]

philosophical love song

[dane3456]

just found this guy today. oh my god cant believe he been around so long and i never heard him before. does anybody have the tabs for this its just so good. converted fan just bought his two albums gonna go listen now. GO TEITUR!!!

[spacejordie]

Teitur !!!

[Jonse70]

Great song, great voice, great lyrics. This guy is great ;)

[rock2208]

great songwriter...!!

[macgerkin]

he definately has the guitar tuned differently because he strums at time when all his fingers are completely of the fretboard. Possibly an open D tuning.

[illbringdabeers]

can anyone figure out the tabs to this

[gnarly83]

like his style....good song....i live near the ocean...and wish i had girlfriend...

[ytcarol]

This is one hell of a song writer and his delivery is right on. I keep coming back to his stuff here. Very listen-able.

[Faxekondi1]

He is the best on the whole Faroe Islands! Teitur lassen is the best!

[sugerfuglen]

omg he looks fuckin retarded hahahahah

[themightychickens]

And your what, George Clooney?

Last time i checked, music was about music, not your look.

so piss off.

[bandman614]

I originally picked this song up on a Scotchvibes mix, and it was one of the two on there I loved right off the bat. The album version of this is unreal. Pick it up if you get a chance.

[hahamu1]

but the song is better with all the violines and all that stuff

[bobbelibob]

I don't hope you mean that. This song deserves not to be smothered in keyboards and stuff. This version is much more earnest.

[hahamu1]

i love this it makes me think of all the good things in the world... wich i dosn't have and that makes it a little sad

[rockinshoelover]

WOW my friend emaild me this and i love this song its so good! I had never heard of teitur before but hes so amazing and i love the lyrics to this song, I totally agree with jonestown222. keep up the good work! =D
