Re: Iceland || WV 40 || Sin fang - Look at the light

Thanks Trece for the hint. I'm gonna correct it
[MENTION=8763]Gera11[/MENTION] yes, but these were only the places in semi final so my way to win the whole contest is even longer

WV 41: I svörtum fötum - Paradís

Lyrics

Hvernig er í paradís?
Hvenær mun mín stjarna lýsa
Eins og þín?
Er dagur dvín
Þennan dag ég man það enn
Engum öðrum um að kenna
Nema mér
Þann kross ég ber

Þú baðst mig um að bíða þín
Að staldra aðeins við
Ég gekk að því sem vísu
Að þú værir mér við hlið

En hún
Sem öllu eirir og af sér gefur
Sú sem höndum sínum lífið vefur
Segir mér þú bíðir mín
Hjá sér í paradís

Lýsir mér um langan veg
Lofar mig og prísar þegar
Rétt er breytt
Og röngu eytt
Lærir sá er lifir hér
Langanir sem bærast eru
Hér og hvar
Sem þú sért þar

Hún fylgir mér á endanum
Í áttina til þín
Því eilífðin er framundan
Ég veit hvað bíður mín

En hún
Sem öllu eirir og af sér gefur
Sú sem höndum sínum lífið vefur
Segir mér þú bíðir mín
Hjá sér í paradís

Og hún
Sem öllu eirir og af sér gefur
Sú sem höndum sínum lífið vefur
Segir mér þú bíðir mín
Hjá sér í paradís

Hún
Sem öllu eirir og af sér gefur
Sú sem höndum sínum lífið vefur
Segir mér þú bíðir mín
Hjá sér í paradís

Og hún
Sem öllu eirir og af sér gefur
Sú sem höndum sínum lífið vefur
Segir mér þú bíðir mín
Hjá sér í paradís

Before people write "I svörtum fötum? They never participate on ESC. Whiteshoes was kidding us, I hate him now" I have to tell you that the singer of this band is Jonsi, as you might notice when you listen to the song, and he took part on ESC twice. 2004 as solo artist, and 2012 in duet with the gifted Greta Salome

WV 42 || Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws

Lyrics

Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.

The son was an ok guy,
He had a per dragonfly.
The dragonfly, it ran away,
But it came back with a story to say:

Her dirty paws and furry coat,
she ran down the forest slope.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.

The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
from dirty paws and the creatures of snow

La la la
La la la la (2x)

And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green,
Was colored black by those killing machines

But she and her furry friends,
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.

La la la
La la la la...

Re: Iceland || WV 42 || Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws

I don't get this song out of my head, shame on you!

 

[ShoeFlo]

Re: Iceland || WV 42 || Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws

That was my intention

 

[ShoeFlo]

Re: Iceland || WV 42 || Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws

The Iceland Worldvision comission was already worried about the last results. They are proud of the great music culture of their little country so they already planed to dismiss Mr. Whiteshoes and looking for a better juror...
...BUUUT finally the new (handsome) juror made his breakthrough by reaching the 8th place thanks to the fantastic band Of Monsters and Men. After reaching the 2nd place with "Little talks" and the 8th place with "King and Lionheart" OMOM continued their streak of success. People in Iceland require that Of Monsters and Men should perform for Iceland in every WV from now one but Whiteshoes already said in an interview that he will try something special in the following WV.
"Now the pressure is gone away and we can do some risky things. Nobody can take us away the success of WV 42!"
We are very curious about the Icelandic performer of the next WV. Whiteshoes only gave us one hint: The singer or the singers will be male!

this could totally be my quote

I honestly think you deserved a Top 3 result, but this was great too! Good luck next edition

WV 43: Skálmöld - Kvaðning

Lyrics

Ligg ég eftir langa drauma,
liggur stirður, hugur sljór.
hatrið finn ég kröftugt krauma,
kreistir hefnd ef fyrrum sór.
Heiðin býr að hættum blindum,
horfi ég mót svörtum tindum,
Hel býr þar í mörgum myndum:
myrkur, kuldi ís og snjór.

Heljarsál af himnum steyptist,
hafði af mér bú og menn.
Hatrið inn í hugann greyptist,
heldur mér á lífi enn.
Fleyjum þínum feigðin grandi,
finn ég þig á sjó og landi.
Kem ég til þín forni fjandi,
fundir okkar nálgast senn.

Morgunsól á miðri heiði,
minningarnar sækja á.
Mikil er og römm sú reiði,
rífur sárin hatrið þá.
Eitt sinn átti fljóð að finna
sem fallig gætti barna minna,
en núna hef ég verk að vinna:
vega blóðga, stinga' og flá.

Höldum nú á feigðarinnar fund,
þetta ferðalag mun telja okkar daga.
Vaskir menn á vígamóðri stund
og Valhöll bíður okkar.
Höldum nú á feigðarinnar fund,
þetta ferðalag er köllun vor og saga.
Vaskir menn á vígamóðri stund
og Valhöll bíður okkar allra þá.

Re: Iceland || WV 43 || Skálmöld - Kvaðning

This is an amazing song. Too bad that I couldn't give it more points, but this was a killer semi for me and ranking this semi was hard. Still, it should have made it, and comfortably, btw.
