Idk if anyone here follows the Eurovision Song Contest, but this song was my absolute fav:
Kinda sad they didn't get more votes. It's in Icelandic, which I think is such a pretty language. From one of the comments in the video:
"For everyone asking about the meaning: One of the performers, Sigga Ey, posted this on another video:
Thank you all for your kind words and support, it means the world to us. I know that a lot of you don’t speak Icelandic and can’t understand what the lyrics are about, so I’ll put in this description from the songwriter
During the winter months in Iceland we loose alot of daylight. Days get darker and longer and in the darkest winter months we only get sunlight a small part of the day. But from around December 20th the sun starts to come earlier and set later each day.
We have the saying for this period for the sun as being "með hækkandi sól" that could translate to "with the sun getting higher each day".Originally it was written as a point of view from a 18th or 19th century icelandic woman who was in 'Vistarband'. The Icelandic vistarband was a requirement that all landless people be employed on a farm. Poor people did not really have any control of their lives and were forced to work for others and live under their rule. But the lyrics can also be related to anyone in many and all sorts of situations. Seeing some hope with the sun getting higher and days getting warmer."
