Þjóðhátíðarstúlkan (Festival girl from Vestmann Island)

[@ab-up8gd]

This is based on "Galway Girl", a song an American wrote about a girl from Galway (in Ireland). Same tune, different lyrics (obviously). That's not to diminish this song. It's a really cool adaption. Just thought that'd be a fun fact.

[@daithiobeag]

A rockin Islandsk version of a song writen by an American, Steve Earle, about an Irish girl from Galway! Tak.

[@steveaumann6335]

I like how they put it in their native language on the screen, I couldn’t read, or understand when they sang but I throughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Just popped in my home page Greeting from Indonesia (my belated paternal looks like the long hair man the lead vocal) Nordic language does sound like Dutch indeed, I'm fluent in Dutch lived there 2002-2010.

Amazing. When I was young the musical creativity was in USA. Now it is in North Atlantic with Davíð Helgason but also with bands such as Skálmöld, Týr, Kaleo and others. Is it under the influence of these fantastic landscapes?
