Description
as a second part to my ongoing nordic folk cover series - ( previously. the swedish 'kristallen den fina' on http://www.macjams.com/song/29034 )
this is yet another cover of my favourite folk song of nordic origin - Við gengum tvö
it's only demo quality now therefore needs further production (will be updated once proper recording is laid down)
thanks for hearing as always :)

Lyrics
Við gengum tvö við gengum tvö í rökkurró
Við leiddumst hljóð við leiddumst hljóð um ungan skóg
Þú varst yndi þú varst yndi og ástin mín
Og stundin áfeng stundin áfeng eins og vín
Við hlýddum tvö vid hlýddum tvö í húmi ein
Er blærinn kvað er blærinn kvað við blöð grein
Ég var nóttin ég var nóttin þögla þín
Og þú varst eina þú varst eina stjarnan mín
Á meðan norðurljósin leifta um bláan himininn
Þá sit ég og þrái kveðjukossinn þinn
Við leiddumst hljóð við leiddumst hljóð um ungan skóg
Þú varst yndi þú varst yndi og ástin mín
Og stundin áfeng stundin áfeng eins og vín
Við hlýddum tvö vid hlýddum tvö í húmi ein
Er blærinn kvað er blærinn kvað við blöð grein
Ég var nóttin ég var nóttin þögla þín
Og þú varst eina þú varst eina stjarnan mín
Á meðan norðurljósin leifta um bláan himininn
Þá sit ég og þrái kveðjukossinn þinn

I haven't heard the original, but I love what I assume is a modern jazz/rock/tango take on the original folk song. Your voice is gorgeous. I had missed it very much. Thanks for posting this.
Because you mentioned this is an early recording, I'm sure you know there is a spot or two where timing is off either with vocals or piano -not sure which, though I've listened twice.
That piano is incredibly dynamic and beautiful, by the way. I love the interaction between the piano and your voice. Reminds me of a Bjork song.
I also think the drum is a bit bare/lonely - it sticks out like a sore thumb in the mix. Perhaps adding variation to it or otherwise bringing it down in the mix would work?
I love this and can't wait for the next recording!
