My Mother Told Me (Feat. Jose Rosario)

Published: April 1st 2021, 2:56:43 am

ou ever had one of those days when your beard hairs won't stop straying out of bounds? Or where your face tattoo won't line up quite the way it's supposed to? Or where the fjord overflows and scuttles your knörr?

If we had a nickel... we'd have so many nickels.

Anyway, so all of that AND THEN, as if by some cruel twist of universal fate, just as you've remedied the aforementioned crises, a bunch of heathens show up and get all rowdy in your face meat. What's an average fella to do?

Well, if you're like us, you don your very best war paint and sing a cappella music into a camera for a few hours. I fully realize that's an unorthodox way to deal with your problems, but sometimes you just gotta sing it out, you know? It's Super cathartic. "Hew Many Foe Men" is purely hyperbolic in this case.

"My Mother Told Me" is most notably from the video game Assassin's Creed, and less notably from the 4th season of the tv production 'vikings'. It appears to be an actual norse chant, but after an exhaustive minutes long search on google, I can't find the ACTUAL history of the song but maybe those of you who are web sleuths can figure it out for us. We wouldn't have known about this song at all, but more than a few folks had requested that we do a version of it, and it's such an interesting tune, we thought we'd take a crack at it. We hope you enjoy the results.

Shout out to Rick Underwood's makeup talents for making us look EXTREMELY handsome in this video and of course to Jose Rosario of "Get On Your Feet", "Hamilton", and ROCKAPELLA for joining us in this nordic epic. He had the perfect voice AND beard for it, don't you think? You can find Jose right HERE and Rockapella's YouTube Channel HERE. We were and are super thrilled to have Jose collaborate with us on this one.

Let us know what you think and thank you for everything!

Heill ok sæll!

Layne, Geoff, Eli, & J (Feat. Jose)
