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​

Good luck Systur, definitely a classic.

Love it. One of my favourites this year, I was a bit unsure if this will appeal to a wider audience, after watching Wiwi review and reading comments of their bitchy suscribers… happy they were proved wrong (once again).

[akoz]

[MAD20]

I had never paid attention into them until today, how gorgeous was it???????? So so glad they're in the final!!

 

[A-lister]

Really a pleasant surprise that this qualified, it's in my overall top. 10 this year (top.5 in the semi) but I was afraid it wouldn't make it. A very nice atmospheric and sincere song. Congrats Iceland

 

[soulm8]

This had nothing to catch my attention. Boring to the bones. One of my least fav of the night. Meh.

Their staging was my favourite tonight - such beautiful lights! And also the harmonies ❤ Happy to see them qualify

 

[Charly]

I screamed hard to hear Iceland qualify.

Fantastic representation of soft country for which it im heavily adore in regards to genre

I'm just so happy it booked the ticket to the finalagainst the odds and it was a fantastic performance

 

[Brandt]

such beautiful lights!

I think they chose it on purpose to reflect the representation of warmth of the sun on the stage, based on the message it delivers.

Really? I thought it wasn't hard to grasp. Some people just didn't grasp the style and called it country and said it was just chill. The emotion and melody is of good quality to me. I never understood the comparison to Portugal.

I think so too - it's very fitting to the lyrics. Reminds me of what it's like north of the polar circle in the wintertime, watching the very brief moment of sun appearing in horizon. I just loved this atmospheric lighting and sound ❤

I'm so happy for them! I wasn't sure they would qualify. Such a beautiful song and I love them and their energy. Congrats Iceland

 

[Ana Raquel]

This was near my bottom all season but i actually enjoyed it tonight? Also trans rights iva found in a ditch

 

[Citelis]

They are in my personal top5 since the beginning but i had started losing my hopes. Absolutely loved it!

Congrats, sisters . I was too pessimistic with my expectations. Their performance was really enjoyable, I would call it pleasantly warm, like sitting next to bonfire. At least that's what I felt. Maybe I'll throw a vote or two in the GF.
