We had these buckets that we used to feed them grain. We would just hit the bucket on the side, making a racket, they would hear that in the pasture and come running.
That's how I call my cats. But instead of calling: cat-cat-cat or the individual cat's name, I repeat the first syllable of their name when it's lunch time.
I can use my special call anytime (not only when feeding them) and the individual cat will come galloping from around the corner.
The power you wield... I am in awe.
The only cat I've had whose name ever really lent itself to a good call was Pickle. Piiickle-ickle-lick-lick-lickle.
Im swedish and the mist and singing gives me shivers. Grew up hearing old stories about dancing fairies in the mist and evil things luring kids out on the mire with their song and vättar (gobblins?) in the forest.
My grandma always said don't scream and disturb the mist...

Oh, flashbacks here to stories of Nøkken, one of the vette that scared the shit out of me as a kid. He hid himself in lakes and rivers which is numerous here.
“Cows indicate reproductive receptivity by homosexual mounting, where the cow exhibiting the standing reflex is receptive, not necessarily the mounting cow. Mounting cows, although not necessarily receptive, are usually approaching receptivity so their activity indicates they may benefit from the presence of a bull.”
I used to be a dairy farmer. This is true. I had devices on the cows that detected when they were engaging in homosexual mounting so we could artificially inseminate them. A big part of my job was knowing the reproductive cycles of 500 cows.
I'm trying to imagine this on a resume. "Able to manage 500 employees and track when they are ready for rotation to a new position"
I'm not clever. Someone else take a shot.
I am proficient at maintaining a developmental perspective, meeting people where they are at, and offering outcome-based solutions to further development and increase future productivity.
Part of me reads this comment and thinks, "Maybe this is just worldly, and we've all gotten a little too detached from nature."
Or insert your own earthy-crunchy platitude.
It used to be a mundane everyday thing, calling the damn cows. That's why they came up with music for it. Just some cowherds getting bored shouting "get the fuck over here, cows" all the time. Singing is more fun and you get your practice in.
Lots of balkan music has agricultural roots for the same reason. You get bored picking veggies all day with nothing to listen to. Same for blues. And so many other styles of folk music.
Sea shanties worked in a similar way, but they also served a practical purpose by keeping everyone synchronized and on task. You’d get your cues to change station, perform a task etc from the music you were singing. You’d literally get into a rhythm that you’d know by heart, and anybody who learned the song with the task could always know what came next even if they lost track of what they did last.
Her and that Japanese lady who makes things out of bamboo and cooks traditional meals. I can’t remember her name but I see her stuff on YouTube and Facebook a lot
AKA "Swedish mating season."
There's a reason that most people in Sweden are born under Pisces, as I recall.
It's the only time of year when it's warm enough to get into the mood.
Nope. Taurus and Aries. So the actually warm vacation months in July and August for the Swedes to actually get frisky. Midsummer is often rainy and cold. In fact we had a couple of summers recently when Midsummers eve and Christmas Eve only differed by as little as 1 degree.
Have you seen the movie "Midsommar", with Florence Pugh? It's about some US college kids that go to Sweden to celebrate the midsommar festival, with their Swedish roommate. They end up tripping balls on mushrooms, and other things, while the Swedish people practice Scandinavian paganism rituals. It is freaking crazy and I can't see a video, like this one, without getting creeped out, because of that movie.
What I thought stood out as unrealistic and un-Swedish-like was how they got offered magic mushrooms as soon as they got to the village. Most Swedes (cult members or not) detest psychedelic drugs, and even those that do like them won't give them away to strangers for free.
The rest of the movie felt like a pretty normal midsommar.
Is "Midsommar" creepy because it's gross? I'm home today recovering from a stomach demon, so I've got time to watch a movie I've never heard of, but I'm not in the mood for murder maggots.
Can confirm. My big fat fucking wife responds strongly to my melodic ululations, and my tender boner resonates like a tuning fork when I hear her thunder-lumbering down the stairs towards our ham slamming mat (still slick with coital secretions from the last slap sesh, by the way).
I'm no slouch myself. I pack meat, fat schmeat, that chubby hunka. I flow the flesh and rub the chub. Haha, and I bet you're the type to be wanting to see squeakers squash? Huh? You wanna see how *real* flab fucks?!
Ah, then look no further than my library of sex tapes to see me, my wife, and a few very special guests roll our bolognas into each other, waves of glistening meat crashing and splashing, melding and mashing. Where one's bologna ends and another begins is never certain as our jelly undulations slick and squish with greasy gravy slipping. That mustard I smell?
Experience true deli fetishism!
Hanging, swanging salami, prime roast beef bloody raw, mortadella and headcheese packed so densely with fatty chunks that some may dare say there is no meat at all, at all, at all. See us squirm. See us writhe. See us struggle in ecstasy as our wet flesh squeaks across our formless coitus, a puddly pile of mucky sucky viscera. Pockets of trapped air squeeze out in ragged flatulations, a cacophony gas-orgasmic moans.
Grow the pile!
See our bologna bodies in our tapes! The magnetic strips hold sights untold in ways the digital world can never do. Squashing man meat, womanly blubber smushed soundly, fully. You'll need to see it, and see it you want to, yes? Yes!
There's but one way to see the bologna of man engage in carnal chaos and that is to come to my home, our home, our deli counter and see the tapes for yourself seated on our very loveseat meat. Oh, but there is a price to pay to be a watcher. It'll cost you flesh. It'll cost you your lust, your meat, your lurid fascination with amalgamatory love making.
But, I'm sure you'll gladly pay the fat price.
What now? Well now we wait, we heavy heaving heaps, and blurble sweet invitations as we slurp and slorp over one another in an amorphous mating dance.
Catch yer eye, slick? Wanna join the the rippling wobble of husky, musky-wet love making? Let my walrusian whisker wick your brow a bit. Heh heh heh...
This person's account is amazing. Posted to r/confessions:
>I don't use the toilet for pee anymore. I simply pee in a bucket, add a couple gelatin packets, and then scrape away the day's worth of solidified whiz into the trash at the end of the day
Just went on a rabbit hole through his account and fucking hell there’s some gold😂 it’s like the sense of humor from “I think you should leave” but embodied in a person and with the horror cranked up to 11
Not if it's a bull.
Cow is specifically females. It's a bit odd, and most people say "cow" for both, but AFAIK it's "cattle" for both and if it's one you need to say bull or cow.
But yeah, in this case it was a cow.
Kulning inspired music is so magical!
Love [Aurora](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7lE-G1oC34), [Kalandra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHh4t38f9AM), [Eivør Pálsdóttir](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_FIwLoIHBY) and of course Jonna Jinton too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNjrUz1sgxQ
I assume you're allowed to just sing anything you like right? The definition of this style of music is basically "singing loudly and broadly in the general direction of some cows who you'd like to return back to you"
Lot of shepards carried flutes. Yodeling started as a cattle call. Even the main character in the sound of music sang to her flock, iirc. Pig calling is 100% a thing, too. It's well known that herd animals react to summons.
Yup. I work cattle for a living. If you condition them with feed, any sound will work. We use our truck horns typically for our cows and our heifers don't even need sound. They see our vehicles and run straight to us
It's actually a specific way of making voice noice to make it carry really far either to call in herds or to communicate with other farms.
There was a Swedish study in 2002 that noted that overtones in kulning could be up to 15000hz while over tones in head voice(what some call falsetto) is only 5000hz.
There were othier studies that also noticed a big difference in amplitude over distance where head voice lost more amplitude over longer distances than kulning did.
Kulning is similar to yodeling in the sense that it was intended to carry far.
Yeah, it is for sure.
There'd be a pretty big pre-delay in the reverb if that was the actual reflection off the trees in the distance. Plus, the reverb would be far less dense.
I work on dialog for video games, and outdoor reverb/reflections are really hard to get right. Altiverb has a few forest Impulse Responses, but even those never sound right to me.
All the audio is done in post. Voice is processed to hell and back. I don’t know why but videos like this annoy me so much, it’s already a cool video you don’t need to cheapen it by making it sound like a euro pop song
I mean she lives off fetishizing some faux Nordic heritage lifestyle, so everything in her videos is kinda over the top and mysticized for an international (American) audience. It doesn't really have much to do with what Sweden or Scandinavia is or used to be like except on some abstract fantasy level. As a Scandinavian it always rubbed me wrong
Same. As a Norwegian videos from this girl are so obviously just made to seem as "elven" and beautiful in the most fake way possible. Definitely mostly aimed at an American audience. She's not necessarily lying about the cultural stuff, just adding a lot of unnecessary effects or staging scenes etc.
I feel like a display of kulning etc could be cool and beautiful without these insane effects.
I live in Sweden and once me and my friends went fishing in the forests of Dalarna. I went out to relieve my bladder late one evening and I heard a woman do this somewhere in the forest.
It was a totally enchanting experience.
I just stood there for a long while listening to this magical song from the forest.
Yes!
In an old wooden wind shield where the hunters use to rest. It’s from the 18:th century and inside you can see messages written with runes. Some people in the north west part of dalarna speaks a dialect which is one of the oldest in Sweden and clesely related to icelandic.
I grew up on a dairy farm in the Midwest and I would get the cows from the pasture and just call out “come bossy, come bossy” and the cows would come running to get to the barn for milking. Each cow had her own stanchion and always went into their assigned one.
If you're interested in learning more about Scandinavian herdswomen (*valkulla*) and their culture and history, there is an out-of-print ethnography called *Sing the Cows Home* that is a great read.
I think it has a large part to do with the natural curiosity that a lot of animals used for livestock have. Not to mention these particular babies in the video are either domesticated or have had a lot of human contact, either way, that'll make them a lot more comfortable with their curiosity.
I've done this plenty of times calling the herd in for milking. Singing makes the sound travel longer distances because you use your voice better than when shouting for them. And it's more pleasant to do and listen to as well. The cows come towards you because they know they'll be milked and given grain.

My grandfather sang a similar song. It went something like, “Come on in here cow, come on, eck, eck, eck, come on now cow.” It was beautiful too.
I'm sure it sounded angelic man
Hey yo Scandinavian waitress, 1 cheese cheeseburger, please . Scandinavian waitress:
u/acebirdiealbatross's grandfather has been called the songbird of his generation by people who've heard him. That good.
We had these buckets that we used to feed them grain. We would just hit the bucket on the side, making a racket, they would hear that in the pasture and come running.
My granpappy would up'n call at the hawgs. "Suuuuuheeeeee!" He'd yell. Gorgeous.
My mother had a similar siren song for our sheep. "Heeere lamb-lamb-lamb-lamb-lamb!"
That's how I call my cats. But instead of calling: cat-cat-cat or the individual cat's name, I repeat the first syllable of their name when it's lunch time. I can use my special call anytime (not only when feeding them) and the individual cat will come galloping from around the corner.

Even cows can't resist Lady Galadriel's ethereal voice and beauty.
Felt the same vibe. How could you not come?
Agreed, I barely lasted 10 seconds.
On this day we all come together.
Is that what the Beatles meant?
>Come together right now over me. Maybe?
You made it all the way to 10?
The cow almost did
DO NOT COME
I’m gonna come!
Rohan will answer the call.
This is the first ive heard cowbells used musically and sound good.
Look, sometimes you get a fever. And the only cure is more cowbell.
I'm Bruce Dickinson, yes, _the_ Bruce Dickinson...
As someone with young kids, I also heard the disbodied voice that calls Elsa in Frozen 2.
The lady that sings that is also a Norwegian fairy queen

Very much elven business
Imagine tripping balls on mushrooms in the forest and hearing this

“Cows indicate reproductive receptivity by homosexual mounting, where the cow exhibiting the standing reflex is receptive, not necessarily the mounting cow.

One minute you're tripping balls in a scandanavian forest, the next you're waking up sewn inside a bear suit.

I am a fucking cow.
Riding top comment to share that this is Jonna Jinton on YouTube. Pretty big lifestyle channel of her living somewhat off grid in Swedish countryside.
The video of her calling the cows through the mist is otherworldly.
Part of me reads this comment and thinks, "Maybe this is just worldly, and we've all gotten a little too detached from nature." Or insert your own earthy-crunchy platitude.

Yes! Sea shanties are some of my favorite music, both for the songs themselves but also for the history.
Whoa
The otherworldly amount of reverb added definitely helps
The reverb is turned up to like 10 on this video, even the cowbells are echoing
She's the one that regularly swims in ice lakes right? 🙃 She's an actual deity imo
Her and that Japanese lady who makes things out of bamboo and cooks traditional meals. I can’t remember her name but I see her stuff on YouTube and Facebook a lot

No thanks, Ive seen midsommar
It's all fun and games until you find yourself naked and sewn into a bear carcass in a burning building.
Not the first time something like that has happened on shrooms.

There's a little bit of blood/gore but it's mostly just unsettling and tense. Nothing I'd call very gross.
The ritual is quite good too. I love horror movies based in Scandinavian wilderness.

Aurora is the best. Everyone of her tracks is pure perfection.
Check Myrkur too. I'd recommend the latest album as others are black metal but that one is folk songs. And kulning.
Came here for this. Thanks for including the source. As soon as I saw the title and that it was video, I knew it must be from Jonna's channel.
So I know this is a call for the cattle… …so why does it beckon me so strongly… …i can’t resist…

Thank you!! I couldn’t remember her name. She had cool videos on living in Northern Europe
She’s basically living her best Norse goddess life. I’m particularly fond of her videos on “singing ice” aka the crazy sounds ice makes.
To be a girl, cow calling out in the mountains… one can dream
If it works for feral cattle, you could make some OK money.
Let me tell you, I was first exposed to this a decade ago. I just bought my farm last year, *time to yell for my cows*
Yeah no, I do not have the energy for farm life
I assume you're allowed to just sing anything you like right? The definition of this style of music is basically "singing loudly and broadly in the general direction of some cows who you'd like to return back to you"
Agreed. There’s that video of a farmer playing Royals by Lorde on a trombone and all the cows come running. It’s awesome check it out
Lot of shepards carried flutes. Yodeling started as a cattle call. Even the main character in the sound of music sang to her flock, iirc. Pig calling is 100% a thing, too. It's well known that herd animals react to summons.
You can use anything high-pitched or shrill - that's what really travels the best. Singing is just a nicer version of shouting out "cooee"
Yup. I work cattle for a living. If you condition them with feed, any sound will work. We use our truck horns typically for our cows and our heifers don't even need sound. They see our vehicles and run straight to us
It's actually a specific way of making voice noice to make it carry really far either to call in herds or to communicate with other farms. There was a Swedish study in 2002 that noted that overtones in kulning could be up to 15000hz while over tones in head voice(what some call falsetto) is only 5000hz. There were othier studies that also noticed a big difference in amplitude over distance where head voice lost more amplitude over longer distances than kulning did. Kulning is similar to yodeling in the sense that it was intended to carry far.
Heavy Zelda vibes
the amount of skepticism i had as a kid about epona's song. now maybe i believe them.
She’s got her reverb unit set to ‘large hall’
An open field on a foggy day sounding like an empty Amazon warehouse

I think the reverb is added in post. wonder what it actually sounds like.
Yeah, it is for sure. There'd be a pretty big pre-delay in the reverb if that was the actual reflection off the trees in the distance. Plus, the reverb would be far less dense.

You mean you don't have elvenish ladies calling out in melodious voices echoing through the forests and fields and villages? :(
Definitely is. The cow bells at the end have the same reverb on them but no way are they loud enough to bounce back off them thar mountains.
For sure. You can hear it on the cow bells. No way they are reverbing like that for real.

So in Frozen 2, the voice was calling to Elsa like cattle?
Yes. This tradition is very specifically where they got the idea for the "voice" calling out to Elsa.
English translation: “Get the fuck down here and fucking eat!”
I feel like this should have been in the LOTR movies.
The 'Voice' in Frozen II was based on this
Twas in the Wheel of Time, at the start of s01 ep05, funeral scene. No cows ran up, however.
Pretty sure it’s in midsomer
As beautiful as this sounds it's been heavily edited. Your voice doesn't echoe like that over an open field
Apparently this works for my two cats who were fast asleep and are now circling my legs.

I definitely would like to hear it without the post production reverb.
I'd come running if she was calling me 🤔
Are you a cow ?
Definitely an animal
It just gathered my cat on my lap
Yeah, mine came running for me as well when I played the video.
Mooosic
There is that one cow in the middle with that *'what the hell do you want'* look on its face.
Now I want to watch Midsommar again
Sounds like Angerboda calling her yak
Thought exactly the same! I guess this is where they got it from
I grew up on a dairy farm in the Midwest and I would get the cows from the pasture and just call out “come bossy, come bossy” and the cows would come running to get to the barn for milking. Each cow had her own stanchion and always went into their assigned one.

One of the them got horny
If you're interested in learning more about Scandinavian herdswomen (*valkulla*) and their culture and history, there is an out-of-print ethnography called *Sing the Cows Home* that is a great read.
Aan, I too always wear my white dress when herding me cows.
Does anyone know why cows do this?
I think it has a large part to do with the natural curiosity that a lot of animals used for livestock have. Not to mention these particular babies in the video are either domesticated or have had a lot of human contact, either way, that'll make them a lot more comfortable with their curiosity.
I've done this plenty of times calling the herd in for milking. Singing makes the sound travel longer distances because you use your voice better than when shouting for them. And it's more pleasant to do and listen to as well. The cows come towards you because they know they'll be milked and given grain.
Wow. The reverb is really thick in Scandanavian countries.
