Thread Name: Lyr Req: Icelandic lullaby
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Icelandic lullaby
Having watched the vid, I am revising my advice that you ask Bára Grímsdóttir to sing this piece of schmalz during Funi's current tour. They have far more authentic Icelandic music than that (as on their MySpace site linked to in my previous post). As for the brief clip of activities other than fishing 58" into the YouTube clip, it reminded me of links which used to appear then disappear regularly on this site of people looking extremely bored whilst engaged in them, though I guess they didn't get paid much so why go to the effort of looking as if they were enjoying themselves? Still, I suppose Icelanders need something to take their minds off the sinking krona.
