So these Christian anti-feminist protestors showed up at my school and were just yelling misogynist things at everyone, when this guy suddenly walks up in front of them mid-rant and just starts…. singing opera
everything about this… this statue, the choppy waves, the cliffs behind her, the echo, the drumming….. aesthetic
Lyrics in Faroese:
Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál
Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð
English translation:
Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul In my heart burns a smouldering fire, smouldering fire
Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound in my heart’s root, my heart’s root
Did anyone else just get the shivers? Cuz I’m definitely getting the shivers.
Btdubs, the singer is Eivør Pálsdóttir.
Reblogging again for the haunting wizard lyrics
shoutout to the faroe island for being the only real viking island left
I am woefully alone (though I do have booze) so are there any fun group-watch venues for the song contest?
Should I just spam the bejeezus out of my tumblr tonight? Block #eurovision if you vote ‘no’.
Also, important question: if you project things onto a dress and the projections change, does that count as a costume change
If you want to watch this madness with me, grab a beverage of choice and go here:
Denmark looks good. Beards and On Point eyeliner and a decent song
I am On Board with Austria. Catchy song
Estonia really fucking WENT for it with their opera singer, holy shit
Consensus is that the dress projections count as costume changes, by the way
ALL HAIL THE HYPNO DRESS
Did that same fucking stage crasher from previous years just manage it AGAIN? How does that guy still get into the event? (He stole the UK’s contentant’s mic for a moment. She recovered impressively)
German contestant is cute, in a ‘pet his head and give him tea’ kind of way. And I dig this song. It’s not a real Eurovision song, but it’s not bad and he can sing.
Check Albanaia wearing Bondage Formal 😀
What is even going on here, Czech Repub?
Denmark brought the eyecandy, the beards, AND a good song o/
Finland brought the dungeon vibe. Disappointed her hair was not a proper undercut.
Moldavia is cute. Fun stage show and very Eurovison song
Sweden was.. okay? It looked good, the stage show was fun, but the song was meh
Hungary, if you’re going to completely break genre, you need to actually hit your notes, sorry.
Israel is a… thing. Like, I haven’t decided if I like it, but it’s certainly memorable and batshit nuts in a Eurovision way and well-sung as far as I could tell.
Also, I cannot be held responsible for the Dutch entry in any way, especially the outfits.
Look Ireland, you gotta send Jedward. I’m not willing to accept any other Irish contestant.
Well, Cyprus certainly has the Eurovision costume vibe down.
Italy is… okay? inoffensive? And that was the last
Man, ESC is sorely lacking the batshit this year. At least we’ll always have 2007 Ukraine:
When you ask, “but how did we get the idea to blow through the ends of reeds/a hollowed-out bone/bang on a skin to make a musical instrument?” – this is humanity we’re talking about. We play! With anything!
