***** He did also describe Icelandic as being "not so much the language of love, more like the language of gutting fish". Great song though, despite my not understanding a word of it.
Badger737 I am fed up of British ESC commentators. I mean it seems they dislike ESC so damn change them. Even though, I have to admit that some of the non-musical jokes like "Not even Franco's secret service could make this win" (Spain 2009) were good.
Carles Manrich i Peres I am sure that our presenters (Terry Wogan RIP especially) love the ESC. I have been a great fan for decades but still apreciate the (shall we say) less than deferential comments by our chaps. I do agree that the "gutting fish" remark may have been a little hurtful. It really is a British/Irish thing. Here in England many of us enjoy friendly insults between friends and this is our way of showing respect which may appear strange to others. Additionally by not taking it too seriously they may be opening it up to a wider audience and let's face it, over the last few years the ESC hasn't always taken itself too seriously either. i do appreciate and respect your comment but feel that Terry and Graham were/are perfecr for us excentric Brits.
Andy I'm English and I have to respectfully disagree. I watched the 2008 contest through the other week. I believe it was the last one Wogan did? Anyway, he was TOTALLY disrespectful. He even spoke OVER some of the performances. He trashed almost every act. I loved the man, but his attitude towards the contest is exactly why nobody in the UK takes it seriously anymore. Respectful artists and songwriters don't touch it with a barge pole because they think it's this ridiculous awful contest with no talent. The public don't think it's a serious contest. Yeah, it's fun, it's sometimes ridiculous, but the majority of the artists and songs are really good. Sweden keeps winning because the public in Sweden are really behind it. They send their best, because winning or doing well at Eurovision gives an artist a big boost in Sweden and around Europe. Artists in the UK think Eurovision is below them. It's a shame, and it's at least partly if not mostly Wogan's fault and the fault of the BBC. A little bit of ribbing banter is fine, as you said that's our humour... but he went way too far, almost every year.

I think Icelandic is one of the most beautiful languages in the world and this great song and performance deserved to reach much higher! Be proud of your language. Greetings from Denmark :)

God I really love this song...This was the best song and performance from last year and the REAL WINNER of Eurovision Song Contest 2013!!Such a great song!!
@@Doug.Dimmadome Bobby Charlton was asked, after Iceland knocked England out, if thd team of 1966 would have done better. He replied, we might have won 2-1. The interviewer asked, rather rudely, why only 2-1? Bobby responded well 5 of us are dead and the rest of us are over 70 but we still would have done better.
Am I the only one who came back here after Sam Ryder’s Space man (UK entry 2022) to admire how Eythor and Sam look alike? Both great singers with great songs. 🇮🇸 🇬🇧
You know Iceland, I'm starting to think that you guys are too good for Eurovision. I mean you guys keep sending good, quality entries like this song, and yet europe keeps shitting on you all the time :/
+PrincessLockette I'm glad they don't know, just imagine 100000 people washing up their shores, polluting their beautiful their country I hope you never win Iceland
Mariel Kägo he is singing about life and how to make it beautiful and if you face some difficulties you should keep flying over mountains. It is pretty lyric in Icelandic
This is the language that has been preserved the best and least influenced of other languages since the time of the vikings. Thats pretty cool because this is probably how they spoke and sounded back then.
Still goosebumps since I heard this song the first time! Here you can find the phantastic lyrics in serveral languages. 4lyrics.eu/esc/2013/eythor-ingi-gunnlaugsson-eg-a-lif/ Enjoy! :-) Think you will be much more impressed after you know all about the lyrics too!
I am Canadian. I don't speak the language, but the feeling of this song shines through the artist so clearly. I heard this when it was first performed on Eurovision. I didn't even know what Eurovision was, but my Aussie friend was watching it. I fell in love with this song and this performance. I still love to listen to it. So very beautiful...
This and Estonia, two gorgeous songs in their native languages. Both of them are quite underrated and amongst my favorites of 2013. It's an unpopular opinion, but there are tons of songs from 2013 I still like.
This by far should have been the winning song!!!! It had all the ingriedent s for that!!! Beautiful music and a great singer with a fantastic voive!! Well done Iceland!!!! Greetings from Malta.
i dont understand a word he sings but when i heard it for the first time he made me cry.... i still dont know why.. but i think this is such a beutifull song.. he comes right at ya
I did not understand the power of love ... I did not dare to embrace, to exist ... I thought I did not deserve to let love overflow me ... But now because of you I'm alive... Ég Á Líf - Iceland 2013
How in the name of everything that is holy this incredibly beautiful song got the 17th place?! It has so much soul and charm in it… criminally underrated!
Singing this in English would have been an injustice - and I'm from the UK. I don't speak a word of Icelandic, yet this song I really connected with and for me is the winner of 2013. Just so beautiful and haunting.
I usually translate non-English Eurovision songs, but some Estonian and Icelandic entries are so magical in their own language I wouldn't dare to do so!
Being danish I should have been extremely happy that my country won that year, but I woted for Iceland (again) and I am still very disappointed that this beautiful song didn't win!! Iceland have had so many great entries over the years and they truely deserve to win....hope you will send another amazing song like this another time....as always, can't wait to hear what you pick. :-) A lot of love from Denmark
Iceland always has great songs to Eurovision. Examples are this, or "coming home" and of course the gorgeous Yohanna. The 2012 deserved a better place, and this too. Iceland Eurovision should win because, he deserves it. Spain loves Iceland!
One of the best entry from Iceland. Icelandic people just continue to be proud to spread your so unique culture. You are only 330 000 inhabitants and are not ashame to not singing in english. You are the example to follow to renew this Eurovision Song Contest.
so wonderful i have tears in my eyes and goosebumps wow. I love this song sice 2013 my feelings are so in Mixed in this song i'm sad and happy at the same time and when i say something like that to a song it's a really special song. this man has a great voice to touch the heart and again WOW!
What i love about Eurovision is to have the possibility to listen to some fantastic singers of the other countries. Thanks that you sang in Islandic, sounds lovely. I voted for this song, greetings from Germany.
@@peder6909 Sure, but modern culture can change the perception of anything. Thor might originally have been red haired in the good old norse mytho's but comics has shaped public perception of Thor and the Asgardians so people rarely discuss the actual mytho's anymore.

He is on the autism spectrum and is early verbal but he picks up song lyrics fast and can go days just sing that one song. This song has been a constant go back for him for the last few months and before that he hadnt heard it for a year.
Europe didn't know to what a great masterpiece they were listening to. The popmusic is so less melodic today, that nobody appreciate such a beautiful song. The musicans just want to show how good they can sing without thinking about the music. I usually listen to heavy metal and this song reminds me of the metal ballads.
This is my favourite song. I am fond of watching this video. Thank you very much, Eythor Ingi and everybody who contributed to create this wonderful song. Greetings from Hungary.
Will always love how every single hand movement is so smooth and precise. He's able to conquer the Eurovision stage with only his sheer singing skill and body language.
As Graham Norton (the UK) commentator said "If this had been a singing contest he would have won".
***** He did also describe Icelandic as being "not so much the language of love, more like the language of gutting fish". Great song though, despite my not understanding a word of it.

I can understand the lyrics he is basicly telling he has a life becuse of YOU or somthing its quiet hard to translate but thats basically the song
I don’t understand a word he singing, but he sounds fabulous. I feel the emotion.

It's been almost a decade, and I still come back to this. It's too good. 💖
This song is so amazing, great, touching, Incredible, nordic, icelandic, perfect, wonderful....

One of the best ESC-Song i've ever heard.
The British commentator said that Icelandic isn't so much the language of love but more the language of fish.
I couldn't have disagreed more! I think Icelandic is one of the most beautiful languages in the world and this great song and performance deserved to reach much higher!

He was absolutely the best. His performence was perfect and he looks so goooood.
I listen to this song every day over and over again.. Every time I get goosebumps
I find this song so beautiful or I love goosebumps.

God I really love this song...This was the best song and performance from last year and the REAL WINNER of Eurovision Song Contest 2013!!Such a great song!!
What an amazing live performance! his singing ability is marvellous. Iceland always sends great songs every year.
But very rarely do they send them in Icelandic. This is a treat.
I have read the English translation and i like lyrics. I like Icelandic sounds as well
cette année l'islande c'était pas ça..
This song is beautiful, I love the Icelandic language
Icelandic is so hard to learn but if you try some years its like drink water
Still one of my absolute favourite ESC songs keeps going back to it! Love from Denmark
I still listen to this song, after all this time. Should've been at least in the top 3!
Cheers from Serbia
Eurovision fans in 2013: Icelandic sounds so beautiful.
Hatari in 2019: Think again.
What are you talking about? Hatari is beauty in everything they do
Iceland almost always has a super act for such a small nation. Football same. We all love them except the trolls

Beautiful....all the times the songs from Iceland were magic....there language is magic....:)
Iceland is what I've always imagined to be the closest thing we have to elves. This proves my point so much.
I think the word you were looking for was vikings.
are you calling me an elf :P
Elves are not traditionally depicted as being hairy ;)
We Icelanders are VIKINGS, not ELVES :)
Daníel Thordarson
I think you are bit of both, good looks from elves willpower from vikings ;)

OMG you are so right. 🤯
You know Iceland, I'm starting to think that you guys are too good for Eurovision. I mean you guys keep sending good, quality entries like this song, and yet europe keeps shitting on you all the time :/
+PrincessLockette The side-effect of being an island located in the north and not having any neighbors ^~^
+RunicDragons well scandinavian countries usually like to vote each other :D yet sweden seems to eat most of the votes
+PrincessLockette I'm glad they don't know, just imagine 100000 people washing up their shores, polluting their beautiful their country
I hope you never win Iceland
I usually like iceland entries . This song should have won . From Spain
theres also no way they would ever be able to afford it.
I have absolutely no clue what he's singing about, but this is really lovely to my ears and I really like it :)
Mariel Kägo he is singing about life and how to make it beautiful and if you face some difficulties you should keep flying over mountains. It is pretty lyric in Icelandic
Hólmfríður Hafliðadóttir Didn't he dedicate the song to his deceased father?
This is the language that has been preserved the best and least influenced of other languages since the time of the vikings. Thats pretty cool because this is probably how they spoke and sounded back then.
Its True and fascinating
Not quite

He's such a beautiful singer. He makes it sound effortless.

Coming after seeing Fire Saga, this is basically the closest we have to a real-life Húsavík song.
The following year's (2014) entrant would be the closest of having a real life Ja Ja Ding Dong.
Have you seen the video? I swear it inspired most of the film.
He's singing in Icelandic!
Double trouble sounds just like 2010's Icelandic entry.
This is the only eurovision song that has made me cry... Almost nine years later I still feel the chills while listening to it ;-;
He is perfect.
Just can't get enough of this ballade... In my heart this is the winning song.
Can't believe Sam Ryder represented Iceland in ESC 2013
His performance was just... Mesmerizing 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭🥲🥲🥲
still one of the best performances and singers.. after YEARS...I do not understand he didn't win.. but still enjoying this uplifting performance
Gorgeous! Both man and song! Love from Sweden
Legendary! 🇮🇸 I will always come back to this song 🥲
The most beautiful song. Straight from the heart ...

@@peder6909 movies shape public perception so in that regard... yeah, he is.
Best song in eurovision i've ever heard! Love it!
The most emotional and honest ballad on the entire contest
My favourite song in the last year, by the way, Icelandic language sounds perfect, not only because Eythor, but as a language, the perfect scandinavian one
Iceland isn't a part of the scandinavian countries, but it is a nordic country.
En Deciliter Tyko Scandinavian/Nordic means the same in Catalan and Spanish.
Carlos Manrique Pérez that's not true, spanish is my mother tongue. scandinavia is the peninsula, nordic is a larger area.
Surfer Rosa wait, but are you Spanish or not? It is like when one says England instead of the UK, though do not make that error.
En Deciliter Tyko Icelandic is a Scandinavian language, almost unchanged from Old Nose in fact. it's not in Scandinavian peninsula but neither is Denmark, I guess we could say it's not in Scandinavia but it's Scandinavian.
Underbart! Tack Island, ni borde ha vunnit detta år! Lyssnar fortfarande 2018, en av mina absoluta favoritlåtar
I just LOVE this song so much!!! It should have won.
I bought the single as soon as it released back in 2013. Still listen now and it's one of my 7 year old son's favourite songs. He is on the autism spectrum and is early verbal but he picks up song lyrics fast and can go days just sing that one song. This song has been a constant go back for him for the last few months and before that he hadnt heard it for a year.

This is my all time favorite Eurovision song, text and voice. Eythor is a true artist...
Just look for him on "fiskidagurinn mikli" :)
