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

A pity we flopped, but we will try harder next time

 

[Milos-BC]

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

This was one of the best songs in the semi and it deserved a final

 

[JamieBrown]

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

So sad you didn't qualify. It was one of the top 4 songs of this edition

 

[Avalon]

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

I think the song just wasn't 'universal' enough. Thanks for those nice comments, though

Re: Iceland || WV 25 || The Frostroses - Frostrósir (Loga Á Ný)

WV 29 ENTRY:
Draumurinn - Farið er allt til fjandans

Something else #hihi

[Avalon]

Re: Iceland || WV 29 || Draumurinn - Farið er allt til fjandans

QUALIFIED!

I always qualify with Icelandic songs and never with English ones

 

[Avalon]

Re: Iceland || WV 30|| ???

Little hint for the artist:

 

[Avalon]

Re: Iceland || WV 25 || The Frostroses - Frostrósir (Loga Á Ný)

WV 30 ENTRY:
Ásgeir - King And Cross

And here's the Icelandic version of "King and Cross." The Icelandic title is "Leyndarmál:"

Enjoy.

Re: Iceland || WV 30 || Ásgeir - King And Cross

Yasssssss
Thanks everyone for voting for us!

Re: Iceland || WV 30 || Ásgeir - King And Cross

After an apparently long break Iceland decided to make its comeback in Worldvision song contest, directed by me.
If everything goes its normal way, Iceland will join the WV 39.

Re: Iceland || WV 30 || Ásgeir - King And Cross

Welcome to WV!!! Have fun

 

[ShoeFlo]

Re: Iceland || WV 30 || Ásgeir - King And Cross

The Iceland Worldvision commission (wow there is a rhyme ) has chosen the participant for its big comeback in WV 39.
They decided to keep it secret, however they left some hints for the curious crowd:

- It's a band, not a solo artist
- They already took part in the past but weren't successful though
- The band's name is the Icelandic translation of "seasons"

Re: Iceland || WV 30 || Ásgeir - King And Cross

As a Swede, the last clue really helped me

WV 39: Árstiðir - Á meðan jörðin sefur

Lyrics

Meðan jörðin sefur
öll umlukin kyrrð og ró
vakir einn en dreymir þó
starir upp í ský.

Huga sínum vefur
þétt um hjartans innstu þrá
að hann megi henni hjá
hvíla enn á ný.

Hverfa svefns og vöku skil
hugur saman reyrir
það sem er og veitir yl
og hitt sem ekki heyrir til.

Hugarflugi gefur
lausan tauminn, gleymir sér
frestar því sem erfitt er
svífur upp í ský.

Hverfa svefns og vöku skil
hugur saman reyrir
það sem er og veitir yl
og hitt sem ekki heyrir til.

Love this one

Would be cool to see this in the grand final

The competition were extremly strong, nearly every participant made a good choice. After the show was over it was already clear that some great songs which were actually worth to qualify for the final will get knocked out. So did Iceland

Iceland, as the smallest member of the WV in terms of population (I'm not 100% sure) is aware of its role as an underdog
Resulting from that awareness, Árstiðir and the IWVC (Iceland WV comission) could quickly overcome with their disappointment and are already in preperation for the next WV.

In fact Iceland's entry for WV 40 is already certain, during the next days, the IWVC will give some hints about the singer/band

Ísland
WV 40: Sin Fang - Look at the light

Lyrics

Look at the light while we pull the stones up the well
A mountain with eyes
Opened it's mouth and swallowed me
Swallow me


Breath into my mouth
Write your name in my palm
I couldn't speak for a long time
Everything you did was some sort of sign for me to read into
But I couldn't understand you

It hurts to breath around you
My lungs fill up with sea
It hurts to be around you
I know you feel it too

Swallow me

If I go back to that place I know I'll see you
But I don't want to even though I want to
On my way home I told myself one day I'd be a shining light
For you to look at


Swallow me

It hurts to breath around you
My lungs fill up with sea
It hurts to be around you
I know you feel it too

Seems like the yugos really liked Sin Fang

I'm not disappointed because I didn't expect to reach the final anyway... but finally it was close. Only 10 points missing

The artist for WV 41 will be a former ESC participant
