    A very interesting song featuring an old nordic instrument, the hurdy-gurdy. It looks (and sounds) like a mix between violin where the strings are hammered on like a piano.

      I had heard the term hurdy-gurdy before but didn't know it was an instrument... a rather cool looking and sounding one, too. How it works is really interesting as well. Thanks for sharing this...

      Thanks for sharing this song... it sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. :P

      p.s. I really liked the next song on my YouTube autoplay too:
      Symbio - A Hundred Years of Joy and Sorrow

        That's super interesting, thank you! I'm listening to Symbio close to a year now and tbh I'm enjoying their latest album Rising even more. Originally I wanted to post Hiraeth, my favorite song but it's hard to find on youtube. A hundred Years of Joy and Sorrow is one of those songs for me, who tell a whole story without a single word, it's such an amazing song as well ^^

          Yeah, I absolutely got that sense from listening to it as well. For me, it called to mind scenes of life from an agrarian community a few centuries ago; people sowing, growing their food, harvesting it and celebrating when finally done.
