I like to think this is what greets you when you ascend to Heaven...and I'm not religious. Absolutely exquisite.

[@keremeynall6513]

Its underrated song. I don't Speak iceland language but i think Its impressive voice. Greetings from turkey

[@klarinetta]

One fun fact. The designer of the stage was very impressed by Halla Margrét's choice of dress. That purple color goes indeed beautifully with the pink accents in the stage design.

[@Starkardur]

Hilarious, there were interview with older singers in Iceland and thought that the dress was far too conservative. LMFAO

[@klarinetta]

@@Starkardur Would be interesting to know their names.

[@Euroviking86]

A tender, quiet song, and a brave choice on our behalf imo. I think it's really beautiful and touching.

[@klarinetta]

Well it was by faaaar the best one in Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins.

[@wessexfox5197]

a very nice song, deserved to finish at the very least in the top 5

[@antoniajohannsson706]

la cantante tiene una gran belleza nórdica por excelencia.

[@agustinpulidoramirez5127]

Always in my mind!!

[@antoniovega2938]

Una balada dulce y tranquila cantada por una voz poseedora de una belleza nórdica muy sugerente. Six points!

[@XPJ38]

Pay attention at 1:06-1:16 and you will see the piano border through the singer's dress at abdomen/forearm level. Is she a ghost??

[@modernmoonlight7350]

This literally made me shiver. at first, i thought the dress is see-through but it's also going through her limbs WTF.

[@samadams1988]

Her one bit of unfinished business on this earth was to sing this song

[@amarantatedeschi4786]

It's just an optical illusion. We see a fraction of it through the dress and our brain complete the image in the wrong way 😉

[@lindakristinekjlibraten777]

In the descriptiom in front of the song it sais that the conductor is John Kjell Seljeseth, but it's wrong.
Beautiful song though!

[@Nikicastipica]

Check again - he is only mentioned as co-arranger, correctly so.

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Jeee vois
