WV 75: Mammút - Ströndin
Lyrics
Heiðina heyri kólna, finn hún leitar á mig.
Yfir slétturnar á mig kallar kuldinn, komdu heim.
Í hringi snýrð mér áfram til þín steina ég ber,
með tár í blindum augum kyssi ég þig.
Ég kem aldrei aftur, en höldum áfram saman nú.
höldum áfram saman nú. (ooh)
Voðaskot mun sækja mig, það dreymir til mín,
með slætti það mig heggur í helgu vatni nú ég frýs.
bergmálaðu sláttinn aftur, berðu hann á mig og faðmaðu mig fastar, oftar
því mig verkjar enn, verkjar enn
Ég kem aldrei aftur, en höldum áfram saman nú.
Höldum áfram saman nú.
Höldum áfram saman, höldum áframan saman nú. Ó, ég kem aldrei aftur mm ég kem aldrei aftur (Ooh)
Translation
(take this with a grain of salt. I didnt find a translation and tried it by myself. Some sentences doesn't seem to make sense. Blame the language, not me)
I hear the heath cooling down, I feel it's looking for me
Across the steppes the coldness is calling me to come home
In the circle I bend forward to your stones I'm bearing
With tears in blind eyes I'm kissing you
I'll never come back, but for now we go on together
now we go on together
A dangerous shot will hit me, it dreams of me
With palpitation that cuts me in the holy water ( ) , now I freeze
? echoed again, flailed at me and hugged me tightly and often
therefore it still hurts me, still hurts me
I'll never come back, but for now we go on together
we go on together, now we go on together, oh, I will never come back hmm, I will never come back
Mammút deservedly won this National Final. All voters apart of Kris, chon and Alex gave it 7 or more points. Calvin and Daniel gave it even 9. I'm happy to see the only Icelandic song of the selection winning. Moreover I think it's the best possible winner cause out of these 6 songs I've known this song the longest time and it was about time to send this. Finally some rock music from Iceland again
Sóley became
second. She had the lead nearly the whole time but then suddenly Rev voted and caused a change of leadership. Soley received more 9 points than Mammut (even one 9,5) but it didn't get love from Kris, Rev, fierro and Alex and that tipped the scales after all.
With a deficit of 10 points to the second place,
Emiliana Torrini became third. Her song was appreciated a lot by Chon, Calvin and Kai but sadly Kris, Ben, fierro, Rev and Alex didn't have strong feelings for this song. I think WV isn't ready for this kind of songs anyway.
múm became only fourth. Rev adored their song and so did Daniel. However, many other voters were sceptical towards this one. Even Robert and Nicholas who liked most other songs couldn't get into this one. The experimental vibes and the very high pitched voice might have put off some people.
I am disappointed about
Myrra Rós ending up on 5th place. It was Daniels favorite and Calvin loved this too (under certain circumstances). Other people however gave it only 7 or lower. Maybe this is not catchy enough for the taste of the masses.
Vök and their Electro-pop song did hardly get love. Only one 8 by Nicholas, three 7s by Ben, Kris and fierro and average/low points by all of the other people. What a shame. Maybe if some people with different tastes dared to vote in my NF this would have done much better. Unfortunately some people probably doesnt even pay attention to my NFs cause they don't think there is a chance they could like any song.
