Text by Anna Malan Jógvansdóttir:

Freya Syngur

tá mín Od hvarv
græt eg gylt tár

harðskaps tár

eg 
gráti 
meg 
sterka 

tey sum fullu niður á jørðina vórðu gull
og tey sum duttu í havið blivu til rav

skil tað 
míni tár eru 
jarn 
gimsteinar 
tey eru mín brynja 
skil tað 
skjøldurdropar 

tár skulu nema húðina 
tey verða kám
um tey liggja for leingi í tárakanalini

harðskapur hvørvur
um tey ikki eru frísk 

tá mín Od hvarv 
græt eg gylt tár 

harðskaps tár

eg
gráti
meg
sterka
 
eg lovi tað
tað gula klistrið í eygunum
tá tú vaknar 
er brunatár

míni tár eru elektrisk 
tey brenna gylt av neistunum 

tár eru vápn 
tey skjóta beint 
inn í sorgina

Chill Song #2

Chill Song #3

Between the jazzy verses, a dark funky bassline drives the rhythm, until suddenly, completely unexpected, the bubble is burst, and something new and bright emerges.

Chill Song #10

A little demo, that could use some polishing

Enjoy!
