lyrics
Snow and silence, your two old friends,
Are rarefying like orangutangs.
As delicacies they will soon be sold :
Caviar will be less valuable,
And they'll be more precious than gold.
Better to hear this than be blind ?
Better to hear that than be deaf ?
Goodnight baby, close your window,
Or maybe just go and follow snow.
You walk through the city like a hunted beast
Looking for some silence that doesn't exist
Wondering if it remains a bloody place
On this planet where you could hear...
Well, anything else than human mess ?
Better to hear this than be blind ?
Better to hear that than be deaf ?
Goodnight baby, close your window,
Or maybe just go and follow snow.
Whatever you do, I'll come and go.
If you need silence, just go and follow snow.
There's definitely something special in music from Iceland... it's always highly creative, usually unusual, and sometimes even plain weird - but in a positive sense. This applies to singer-songwriter Sóley Stefánsdóttir, too. Her songs are quite accessible in a way, but always with a surprising twist that's typical for music from this country in the far North.
