Lyrics:

War Hero

After all
you've gone through
It's truly amazing
that you're still around

Through darkness of wars
Across rocky shores
You've been to hell and back
faced life's closing doors

Despite all the wait
and your enemy's hate
You kept your hopes up
and held onto your faith

In the grey battlefields
You lost all your shields
But somehow you never
lost faith in yourself

After all
you've gone through
It's truly amazing
that you're still around

Lyrics: 

Fool’s Mate

Western world, where have you taken us? 
Recession hitting hard, after all the rush 
I took a loan, which has been growing like a tree 
I cannot pay my dues, will end up on the street

I had a home, a life and everything was sweet 
Cause someone fucked up, gonna end up on the street

I lost my job, my faith and left with no excuse 
How it’s done and dealt with, we don’t get to choose 
Here is the key, I simply cannot pay my dues 
You can have my pride, if I just get to keep my soul

I had a home, a life and everything was sweet 
I cannot pay my dues, will end up on the street 
I had a home, a life and everything was sweet 
Cause someone fucked up, gonna end up on the street

Future Prospect

​Iceland's Biggi Hilmars' distinctive, provocative sound, described as having ‘unique beauty’, has fast cemented his status as a unique and prolific film composer. Having made a name for himself for his work on film scores, television, movie trailers and commercials, he has also released three solo albums and is currently working on his fourth.
 
With his roots firmly planted in neoclassical, his cinematic soundscapes encapsulate the picturesque beauty of Iceland. His beautifully crafted, melodic music consistently inspires and always feels both contemporary and timeless, taking the listener on a journey. Biggi is influenced by an eclectic range of composers and musicians, spanning Ennio Morricone, Philip Glass, Max Richter, Björk, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and The Beatles.
 
As a composer, ​just some of Biggi's credits include the Nordic TV drama series 'Thin Ice' (Yellowbird & Sagafilm), for which he was nominated for the best score and album at The Icelandic Music Awards 2021. The Grierson Trust award-winning feature documentary 'The Last Igloo', produced by Swan Films for BBC4, the National Geographic adventure series ‘Fiennes: Return to the Nile’ starring Joseph and Ranulph Fiennes, ‘Beeba Boys’, a feature film directed by Academy Award nominee Deepa Mehta and the multi award-winning Channel 4 VR documentary 'Grenfell Our Home', directed by Jonathan Rudd.  Biggi has just completed the score for Fremantle / Blue Media’s high-end factual ft. documentary ‘Arctic Drift’, which will be released later in 2021.
