Re: Iceland || WV 27 || Baggalútur and Jóhanna Guðrún - Mamma þarf að djamma

Thanks for the 9th place! Top 10 for Iceland

WV 28 now. I'm actually not that sure of my entry. It has two different versions. An instrumental only version and a version with the singer. I actually like both versions, but the song loses a bit 'emotion' in the version with the singer. (The melody is the same, but the sound differs quite a bit.).
On the other hand, instrumental songs aren't that popular in Worlvision, so that wouldn't be maybe a wise choice. Both are below 4:30 minutes, so that's fine

Somebody any tips?

Re: Iceland || WV 27 || Baggalútur and Jóhanna Guðrún - Mamma þarf að djamma

the song loses a bit 'emotion' in the version with the singer.

how its possible? otherwise voice gives more emotions usually

Re: Iceland || WV 28 || ??? - ??? (Need help!)

I have a few suggestions, one a winner in my eyes.

Re: Iceland || WV 27 || Baggalútur and Jóhanna Guðrún - Mamma þarf að djamma

how its possible? otherwise voice gives more emotions usually

Because the instrumental version is not simply the same as the other one without the voice

Merci bien!

Re: Iceland || WV 28 || ??? - ??? (Need help!)

If you think the singing version is less emotional, I would take the instrumental version.

 

[Avalon]

Re: Iceland || WV 28 || ??? - ??? (Need help!)

If you think the singing version is less emotional, I would take the instrumental version.

I'm starting to like the singing version even more. So I'm probably going with that!

WV 28 ENTRY:
Biggi Hilmars - War Hero

​

We're already at the fourth entry of me for Iceland. It was kinda difficult for me to chose between the instrumental version or the version where he sings. At the end, I've chosen for the version were he sings through the song, because that's the one that spreads the message the best. Biggi wrote the lyrics and dedicated the song to his sister Agusta, who had been fighting cancer for years. She is the 'War Hero' of this story.

After all
you’ve gone through
It’s truly amazing
that you’re still around

Through darkness of wars
Across rocky shores
You’ve been to hell and back
faced life’s closing doors

Despite all the wait
and your enemy’s hate
You kept your hopes up
and held onto your faith

In the grey battlefields
You lost all your shields
But somehow you never
lost faith in yourself

After all
you’ve gone through
It’s truly amazing
that you’re still around​

Re: Iceland || WV 28 || Biggi Hilmars - War Hero

Great choice! Both versions are great, so I can't decide yet which I would have prefered!

Good luck to you! I keep my fingers cross!

 

[Avalon]

Re: Iceland || WV 28 || Biggi Hilmars - War Hero

I keep my fingers crossed too! But I don't think my chances are high anyways.

Re: Iceland || WV 28 || Biggi Hilmars - War Hero

A great song and it's been a constant grower to me. I have no doubts that I would have this song in my final top 5.

Wish you the best of luck next time, Brent!
