This song is an Icelandic song named Frostrosir by Freymodur Johannsson (1895 - 1973). It was very popular about 1950-1960. Here Eivor Pálsdottir syngs it in her amazing way. The Icelandic Symphony orchestra is playing. Eivor is from Faroe islands. I think she is one of the best in the world.
She is an unbelievable performer - I was lucky enough to see her live in Akureyri, Iceland at a fairly small gig and she was brilliant! The band too. She is only 27!!! Do check out more of her stuff - some is quite experimental, especially the latest album, Larva.
She singing the Icelandic song of frozen roses (frostrósir) that long time ago came on your window and waiting for her boyfriend from the sea in the middle off the night. She is just acting and her feelings is at most. Just lovely!
@ragnaice þetta kallast tilfinning :) Ég held að henni sé alveg sama hvernig hún lítur út þegar hún býr til þessa Guðdómlegu tóna. Allt fyrir tónlistina! :)
Saw that Jon Gentry talked about someone not qualifying to comment here due to there lack of knowledge. Couldn't reply to him directly but I am doing it here. I just had to! Iceland wasn't sold to Denmark from Norway in 1262. That's the end of the Icelandic civil war where big viking families fought against each other for power in Iceland but one family saw that they could have more power than any other if they would team up with the Norwegian king. Which they did and they won which made Icelanders sign up on "Gamli Sáttmáli" or "Old Covenant" which meant that Iceland went under the Norwegian king. It was called a "union" but it wasn't although Alþingi (the Icelandic Parliament) was still working. That was in 1262 and is probably the darkest time in Icelandic history. Iceland then was in a union called the Kalmar Union which was a union between all of the nordic countries. After the collapse of the union Iceland was in a union with Denmark and Norway. When that union also split up Iceland went under the Danish king in 1814 and then the Icelandic independence movements started growing and Icelandic hatred over danes started growing. Which eventually led to Icelandic sovereignty in 1918 and complete independence in 1944 and the forming of the republic. That's the facts.
Love it - the style (and orchestral arrangement) has got a flavour of Kurt Weil about it - but sounds Russian too. BUT WHAT IS IT(title and composer please) and the language is Icelandic Yes? She is outstanding. And what a Stage Presence! I don't think you'd mess with her though. Mighty Nordic Diva !! But are Pharoes - Nordic?
There are very few songs and singers that I believe could sound great in a recording which has been worked upon as well as in a live performance. I believe I have just found another of these singers. I however don't really feel anything for the song, nothing special to me. But again the two thins that make the performance great is the orchestra as well as Eivor.
Great song, great vocals. Some of you should never comment on anything. You don´t qualify. Færeyjar, Fjáreyjar belong to Danmark just to clarify, but not by choice. Same was with Iceland, sold by Norway to Denmark in 1262 for 2 limping horses, and 300 pounds of cheese. Back to point children, if you do not know the song or what it is about, don´t comment. The easiest way to make yourself look stupid is to comment on something you know NOTHING about.

I absolutely love Eivor. It REALLY sucks living in america, cause I can't come to her concerts!!

Piękne. Mam ciarki na plecach gdy tego słucham.

Thankyou for this
Wiecie co? Lata mijają, a serce nadal drży, gdy tylko Eivor śpiewa
Lovely voice. Reminds me of Sarah Brightman...

i wish i understood the language the song is so beautiful
@sigmundmelberg its written by Icelandic composer- Freymódur Jóhannson.
Það er pínulítið óhugnalegt hvernig augun í henni ranghvolfast... en vá, hvað hún er æðisleg söngkona!
Heimsklassa söngkona, já!! En svo er hún svo falleg líka.. Þetta er alveg ótrúlega flottur flutningur!
Beautiful!
Nei bara sexy hvernig haegra augad nanast lokast :) Hun lifir sig svo inn i songinn! Frabaert hja henni!
Thank you very much for informations about the song!
Got the CD now. Apparently the song (both words and music) is written by the Icelandic composer Freymódur Jóhannson.
@charlieRicketts AMEN! I adore her as well, but we're stuck in the States :/ Oh well, it's an excuse to travel!
heavenly!:O)))

she's just magic aint she
@zimzam1232 Aaaahh
marvelous
Traumhaft schön die Melodie!
Strangely reminiscent of Leonard Cohen's "Dance me to the end of love". Maybe he was inspired by this beautiful song?
This song is from the 1950s I think, surely much older than Cohen's song. Both good songs though.
***** That's the way I meant it - maybe Cohen was inspired by this one.
QuorkQTar Just few notes here that I can find similar to the song mentioned.
@MiaMountainLover Thanks for this. But do you know what the piece is called and who is the composer? It's fantastic.
What about the melody here? Who is the composer? Isn't this originally a Russian melody (or something)?

@Ladypurpulhair Hún hélt örugglega að þú værir að tala um jólatónleikana sem kallast frostrósir.
