Windir
Windir (Primal Warrior in English) was a black metal band from Sogndal, Norway. The band combined black metal with folk music and mythology. The band was formed in 1994 and released its debut album in 1997. Windir was a project of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Terje "Valfar" Bakken.
Windir produced four albums in their almost ten years of existence. The band broke up when Valfar died of hypothermia. Many of Windir's lyrics are written in Sognamål.
Valfar's death
On January 14, 2004, Terje "Valfar" Bakken went to his family's cabin at Fagereggi, Norway, by foot. On January 17, his body was found at Reppastølen in the Sogndal valley. He died from hypothermia after being surprised by sudden inclement weather en route. He was buried on January 27 at Stedje Church in Norway. In March 2004, Windir officially disbanded.
A compilation album containing Windir outtakes and B-sides, Valfar, ein Windir, was released in 2004 as a tribute to Valfar. On September 3, 2004, in Oslo, Windir's remaining members performed their last concert to go back to their roots and keep base with what they thought was real.Enslaved, Finntroll, Notodden All Stars, Weh, E-Head and Mindgrinder were the guest bands. Three bands would be formed by some of the remaining members of Windir: Vreid, Mistur and Cor Scorpii.

Second Nature
by: Eric ClaptonYou walk into the room, you know what's on my mind
You know just how to reach me, baby, without even trying
Don't need no one to tell me, this is leading to
'Cause something deep inside of me is dragging me to you
So roll the dice, baby, see what the future brings
Sure feel like a right time, you to spread your wings
Ain't no one but you, baby, ever stopped me in my tracks
Once this thing gets rolling darling, well there ain't no turning back
Second nature
To look at what we've found
Second nature
You know we're heaven bound
No need to think about it
You know we're safe and sound
Second nature
For you to come around
So take me to your heart baby, and lead me to your door
Take me in your arms baby, never leave me any more
Ain't no one like you baby, to stop me in my tracks
All I know for this old heart, well I ain't no turning back
Second nature
(Nature, nature)
They look at what we've found
The second nature
(Nature, nature)
They know we're heaven bound
No need to think about it
(Nature, nature)
They know we're safe and sound
The second nature
(Nature, nature)
You to come around
(And he come's, oh easy baby)
(And he come's, oh easy baby)
(And he come's, oh easy baby)
You must have heard my call
(And he come's, oh easy baby)
Like rain to a waterfall
(Rain to a waterfall)
The second nature
(Nature, nature )
They look at what we've found
Second nature
(Nature, nature )
They know we're heaven bound
No need to think about it
(Nature, nature)
They know we're safe and sound
Second nature
(Nature,nature)
You to come around
Second nature
(Nature, nature)
Just look at what we've found
Second nature
(Nature, nature)
You know we're heaven bound
No need to think about it
(Nature, nature)
You know we're safe and sound
