Valkyrie of My Heart x The Seer and the Cold (Mashup)

[singer A] Slowly, slowly, strength would stay Slowly, slowly, it found a way Some days trembling, some days bold But my story would be told Slowly, slowly, strength would stay With your strength I found my way Some have a guardian in the dark you’re the Valkyrie of my heart [transition] [singer B] [whispered, dry close mic, multiple female voices layered, no reverb] She does not call... She opens... [Seer Working - spell anchor] [low gravelly female voice, rhythmic chant with melodic rise and fall, NOT monotone] [Heilung-style ritual vocal, dry close mic, earthy and present] [frame drum slow ritual tempo entering, drone underneath] Bone to staff... breath to stone... Skin to seat... sit alone... Cold to flesh... light to none... Open the eye... the work begun... [Seer Vocalizations - the conjuring] [transitions from words into pure wordless vocalization] [rhythmic syllabic chant with strong melodic contour] [low gravelly female, breath-based percussion between phrases] [drone building, frame drum holding] Hey-ya hum-na, hey-ya hum-na Hey-ya hum-na, hey-ya hum-na [transition] [singer A] Some call on angels in whispered prayer While some give in to deep despair.. But when the shadows gathered in.. You were my shield, my guardian One simple stand would hold me still A crooked choice, a stubborn thrill It wasn’t grace, it wasn’t luck It was your strength lifting me up [transition] [singer B] [Chorus - HEL first appearance] [Lisa Gerrard style soaring soprano vocal, melismatic ornamentation] [cathedral reverb, wet, octaved harmonies a fifth and an octave above] [whispered dissonant backing layer underneath - ghostly creep] [ancient sacred operatic, beautiful with wrongness underneath] I... see... you... I see the child in the spring-snow grave I... see... you... I see the bargain that you made I have always been the listener I have always been the cold I have always been the keeper Of the silent silent fold [transition] [singer A] Now I can feel it clear as day The boy I was had so much to say Loved me for me from the very start The Valkyrie that guards my heart [Final Chorus] Slowly, slowly, strength would stay Slowly, slowly, I found my way Some days trembling, some days bold But my story would be told Slowly, slowly, strength would stay With your strength, I found my way Some have a guardian in the dark But you’re Valkyrie of my heart (Of my heart…) (Of my heart…)
