In his recent video, BURZUM mastermind Varg Vikernes has unveiled “Strange World,” the first song he ever made. He said in the introduction (as transcribed by Ultimate-Guitar.com):
“Music – is it a type of magic? I think it is. Because it moves emotions, it awakens memories, it creates memories. We remember [with the] help of music.”
Adding he thinks the song was recorded in 1987 – at which time he was around 14 years old – Varg focused on the track, saying:
“It’s not very original, nor innovative, but I like it because it brings back so many memories of my teenage years. It enables me to remember things I otherwise would have forgotten all about by now… as if by magic.”
Vikernes then added:
“It was the first step on a long walk downhill… that I had to undo by walking hard uphill again. Memories are like the scars of the mind. But I don’t complain. My life is good. All that walking made it good…”
He also said in the comments section:
“For more self-centered and sentimental crap, please subscribe to my channel.”
