I can never sleep the night before a flight, so I made a little video to the new song. I hope you like it. Link in the comments:

English below:
Samdi lag um daginn. Það byggist á gamalli íslenskri þjóðsögu um það þegar barn týnist á bæ um miðjan vetur, en álfarnir hjálpa foreldrunum þegar neyðin er mest. Hérna er demó af því :D

Fyrsta erindið er vísan sem álfurinn kveður inn í draumheim bóndans. En svo samdi ég tvö erindi til viðbótar.

Vona að þið njótið.

Álfur segir til barns.

Á litlum stað lúrir það
Lambið þetta
Upp á fönn eina spönn
Fyrir ofan kletta

Hátt yfir bæ á hörðum snæ
Hljótt það sefur.
Næði, grið, náð og frið
Nóttin gefur.

Finna má, fjöllum á
Fegurð bjarta.
Birtan þar bergmálar
Barnsins hjarta.

Wrote this song in February. Recorded this demo, when I got back from Australia, with my broken voice :D
I hope you enjoy it. It's based on an old Icelandic folk tale and the poem within it. The original poem is the first verse of the song, and then I wrote two more verses to explore the story better in the song.

The lyrics are basically:
In a little place it lies,
your precious lamb.
Up on the snow, just a little further
above the cliffs.

High above the farm, on hard frosty snow,
it sleeps soundly.
Quiet, sanctuary, grace and peace,
the night provides.

In the mountains can be found
a bright beauty.
The light there eches
the heart of the child.

A song based on an old Icelandic folk tale, where the hidden people guide the parents of a lost child to where it is found, safe and sound. The lyrics are: Á litlum stað lúrir það Lambið þetta Upp á

Hey guys,
I'm working on some new merch to bring on tour.

Just to make sure it is clear, I NEVER use generative AI for art, songwriting or text generation for communication with my community, so my designs are my own and I take full responsibility if they don't look perfect. I hate even to have to make this point. Nothing was prompted for this design.

So, here's something I'm thinking about putting on a T-Shirt for my upcoming tour.

Is this something we can work with?
I really like it, but I always understand that I'm not the authority on these things.
But I'd really love to know how people feel about this idea.

UPDATE!
My daughter and I sat down today and we workshopped the draft and these are the designs we finished :D Imperfect, wonderful and AI-Free :D

Best wishes and love,
SK
