Lindy-Fay Hella, singer of the Nordic folk band Wardruna, released her first solo music video for the song Seafarer.
The composition will be part of the album of the same name, which will be released on September 20 on vinyl, CD and digital format by the German label Ván Records.
We are used to hearing the beautiful voice of the singer in Old Norse and Norwegian, but the first song revealed from Lindy-Fay’s solo album has lyrics in English.
“The title track’s minimal words are emphasised with repetition, creating something of a sea-shanty as an ode to a lost friend. Lyrically, Hella explores the concept of the Otherworld; of parallel places, and unexplained feelings and emotions related to what might be on the other side of what we know to be true. Her curiosity for the unknown and the unproven led the way both lyrically and musically many times throughout the creation of ‘Seafarer’ ; emotion steering the ship at every opportunity.

The idea for recording the work came up in 2017, from some experimentation by the singer. The album was recorded by the producer and former member of the Viking metal band Enslaved, Herbrand Larsen, with the participation of the former member and one of Wardruna’s founders, Kristian “Gaahl” Espedal, among other guests.
Lindy-Fay already has some shows scheduled in England and, next year, will perform at the famous Wacken Winter Nights festival in Germany.

Seafarer
Far away over the sea
Are you
On your jounrey
Seafarer
Looking for a land
New
Behind those waves
Cold and grey uphold
Then when you come to shore
Look upon the sky
Stars still shinning bright for you
Then when you come to shore
Look upon the sky
Stars still shinning bright for you
Then when you come to shore
Look upon the sky
Stars still shinning bright for you
