De "53" hablamos aquí hace más de dos años. La tocan al final del vídeo del miniconcierto que puse. Me cito a mí misma:
Es que el origen de 53 es bajoner, y se nota. Un día Jófríður estaba hablando con un amigo en la iglesia sobre la muerte, a ella se le había muerto alguien, y a él también. La madre del amigo se había suicidado. Y esta canción se la dedica Jófríður a ese amigo.
His mother that would have been 53 her misery too harrowing
↑ "The main themes in ‘Orange’ is wordplay and repeating phrases but changing one word to alter the whole meaning, and a diary or kind of memoir-styled lyrics and imagining you’re in a piano bar in the 50’s singing about your loves and tragedies.”
“It’s very sparse and a lot closer in the approach and in regards to the sound of our very first album. It’s kind of funny that seven years later, we would go back to the same place where we were at age 14!”
Forest "... It emerged shortly after we recorded ‘Twosomeness’ our last album so it has a very similar lyrical theme, longing to be with someone that’s far away."
Skammdegi "... It’s a kind of hopeful melancholy, things are pretty low but they’re gonna get better."
Orange "... The title Orange is a reference to the repeated phrase of something being bitter and sweet and then bittersweet. Orange is kinda like that."
Babies "... The lyrics are inspired by Karen Blixen’s short story ‘Dykkeren’ about a man who wants to learn how to fly and be an angel. He later found out that angels don’t fly, they swim. When they swim they can’t fall down."
Ást "Simply translates as love. It’s a general tale and pondering of love and what it means and takes to get it right ..."
Weeks "... It was originally intended to go on ‘Twosomeness’ and therefore has a similar lyrical theme as that album. But it kind of fits well with ‘Sundur’ in a way that it tells a tale of melancholy and being apart from somebody or something."
Orange I had a lover one that'd flown far and high overseas Too soon it was over it was bittersweet He sent me a letter and soon all my tears had been shed He was done getting battered, it's good it's gone It said all done inside his state of mind Because nothing ever stays the same
So I had another, whose letters were often too sweet He's still in recovery from my bitterness Now I'm sending letters one too many months I was late He's done getting better, oh it's good it's gone
I'd said all done inside this state of mind, where nothing ever stays the same
Now I have a lover, who lives close to me on the same sea Sometimes it's bitter, but most the time sweet We've said all done inside this state of mind And hope that nothing stays the same

Two hearts
at separate pace
too big
to merge their space

I had a lover
one that'd flown far and high overseas
Too soon it was over
it was bittersweet
He sent me a letter
and soon all my tears had been shed
He was done getting battered,
it's good it's gone
It said all done inside
his state of mind
Because nothing ever stays
the same
So I had another,
whose letters were often too sweet
He's still in recovery
from my bitterness
Now I'm sending letters
one too many months I was late
He's done getting better,
oh it's good it's gone
I'd said all done inside
this state of mind,
where nothing ever stays
the same
Now I have a lover,
who lives close to me on the same sea
Sometimes it's bitter,
but most the time sweet
We've said all done inside
this state of mind
And hope that nothing stays the same
Si a alguien le interesa tener la letra que me diga por aquí.
