Iceland ICELAND 2022 - Systur - Með Hækkandi Sól

[escYOUnited]

Öldurót í hljóðri sál

Þrautin þung umvafin sorgarsárum
Þrá sem laðar, brennur sem bál
Liggur í leyni – leyndarmál – þei þei

Í ljósaskiptum fær að sjá
Fegurð í frelsi sem þokast nær
Þó næturhúmið skelli á
Og ósögð orð, hugan þjá – þei þei

Í dimmum vetri – hækkar sól
Bræðir hjartans klakabönd – svo hlý
Í dimmum vetri – vorið væna
Vermir þitt vænghaf á ný

Skammdegisskuggar sækja að
Bærast létt með hverjum andardrættir
Syngur í brjósti lítið lag
Breiðir úr sér og andvarpar – þei þei

Í dimmum vetri – hækkar sól
Bræðir hjartans klakabönd – svo hlý18
Í dimmum vetri – vorið væna
Vermir þitt vænghaf á ný

Og hún tekst á flug
Svífur að hæstu hæðum
Og færist nær því
Að finna innri ró

Í dimmum vetri – hækkar sól
Bræðir hjartans klakabönd – svo hlý
Í dimmum vetri – vorið væna
Vermir þitt vænghaf á ný​

They actually won? I’m stunned they managed to pull that off considering the juries weren’t even there in the superfinal.
The Icelandic public deliver again!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Winners: Sigga, Berta, and Elin!

 

[Datura]

I don't like HAIM in 2022, let alone in 2062


and congrats Sigga for being involved in two of my least favorite esc years

 

[ESCREGION]

Sorry but not my cup of tea.

 

[Remembrance]

I like this One of the songs I earmarked when the songs were released.
Very happy about this. And in Icelandic, too

 

[dannytr24]

What a boring shit year
I hope the odds are right, Ukraine for the win.

 

[mauve]

Well, this year's section of Iceland wasn't my most favorite one tbh. Sigga, Beta & Elín are okay, but nothing I would intensively go for. 5 points.

 

[Synergise]

Iceland was my winner in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Unfortunately not the case in 2022. This is quite nice to listen to, but even for me it's a bit too mellow. I'll give it a 5.

 

[empo21]

This could make an impression any other year, but this year, with so many slow songs - I am not sure.

 

[Datura]

points for me, maybe i'll upgrade to 12. such a classy, soothing song. love their harmonies and charme

 

[Sabrewulf238]

The song is pleasant. It could grow on me, maybe. I'd give it a for now.

I think it's a major drop after two years of Daði. (though I think that was going to be true no matter what they had sent from this selection)

 

[Mainshow]

Wow. Two of my NF favourites win on the same night!? Oo

 

[revallsay]

Terrible choice Iceland

 

[ChiversLookDivine]

They're no Haim.

Hell, they're not even a quarter as good as Stefan in the very same contest.

Sadly this is DOA. I like the idea but I've heard a lot of stuff like this, and SB&E really pale in comparison.

 

[MopManMoss]

Katla would have been in my top 5 but this uhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Looren]

 

[RainyWoods]

Another slow song is not what we needed this year but then it was also the best in what I thought was a very lacklustre selection. It's a totally passable piece of soft country-folk, whatever you want to call it. It's pleasant. It's inoffensive. I don't hate it. I don't love it. It's there.

Here's a
