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​

Here are the songs:

Ισλανδία: Ακούστε τις συμμετοχές του Söngvakeppnin 2022! - Eurovision News | Music | Fun

Μετά από ένα μικρό διάλειμμα το 2021, όπου ο Dadi Freyr εκπροσώπησε την Ισλανδία με απευθείας ανάθεση, το Söngvakeppnin επιστρέφει για την επιλογή της συμμετοχής της χώρας στον διαγωνισμό. Όπως ήδη σας είχαμε ενημερώσει, το ενδιαφέρον των Ισλανδών καλλιτεχνών για την Eurovision είναι μεγάλο μιας...

I'm speechless, I have listened to 4 entries till now (both Icelandic and English) versiosn and all 4 are 10/10 for me (in Icelandic)!

The quality is EXTRAORDINARY here!

Maybe it is really Reykyavik 2023!

@hunty73

I'm sure you will love some of these entries..

 

[HayashiM]

Who is she?

This lovely Oscar lady I'd say if you made a top 5 of most internationally known Czech musicians, she'd be in it, though she doesn't have anything to do with us since her Oscar victory and got citizenship in 2020.

 

[HayashiM]

Would be kinda iconic to have Markéta Irglová for and Elis Mraz for (though the later is absolutely not going to happen, I have a nagging feeling one of superstars is taking that one ).

 

[BorisBubbles]

Markéta's song (i assume it's her song because we don't know who sings what) is absolutely STUNNING. I can't wait to hear it live

Also it's a slow ballad.

 

[BorisBubbles]

oh yeah, there's 10 songs but 9 artists, so i'd assume one of the artists has two songs. (probably one of the female soloists)

 

[njdevils94]

Reykjavíkurdætur the big favorites have 8 members.

 

[Iker]

A Czech singer-songwriter and actress. She won an Oscar for the song 'falling slowly' for the movie 'Once' in 2008 (I think).

I've listened to her song called 'Crossroads' yesterday and then suddenly the very next day I saw her name in the line-up in Iceland.

 

[Iker]

Omg Iceland so quirky and unique omg

It is Iceland, where most people believe in elves and trolls after all! They even have to consult a special expert when building a new road to ask whether this new investition will not trouble the elves!

 

[lasse braun]

at this point i would go with no.4 katla and no.1 haffi haff.
next then maybe no.5 markéta irglová.

 

[Hayato]

The one only in Icelandic with the country sound is really nice on the ears.
And there are a couple of nice ballads but that's it!
I don't think the list above matches the songs- we don't know who sings what yet right?
Rather disappointing selection I must say.

 

[lavieenrose]

MARKETA THEE IRGLOVA???? OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

 

[EscGeek]

Let's do the Volcano

or Turn This Around

 

[crashworld]

The logistics nightmare if the 8-member group won. I wonder how they are going to decide who is going. Or 8 members will go but they will rotate between performances. I wonder if that will be allowed.

 

[Remembrance]

- Heart of Mine
Love the Icelandic section in the English version.

- Með hækkandi sól
An Icelandic country-style song? Yes, please

- Keep It Cool
Lovely funk-style song.

The rest: meh...

 

[mauve]

The first time I listened to the songs I was hyped, the second time though I was rather disappointed tbh. For myself I have two songs I really like, but doubt that they will have a chance to be chosen. My most favorite is Þaðan af - exceptionally good! Would make it into my top 10. The other is Séns með þér . I like Gia a little, but it is too repetitive. The other songs are not really bad, but rather average.

 

[njdevils94]

Turns out there is a 10th artist/group
