Kerry Jeffrey I discovered these guys on a flight to Iceland and they've become my new favorite band. The songs are sentimental and fun. The world needs more songs like these. Favorite track: For you, forever.

Daniel Dickison This song has been stuck in my head ever since we serendipitously saw them perform at the Reykjavík Backpackers during Airwaves. Favorite track: Snæfellsnes.

Lausamjöll 00:26
Leiðir upp á fannhvít fjöll flestar virðast greiðar þar til lífsins lausamjöll leggur yfir heiðar.

Snæfellsnes 03:34
Senn kemur langþráð frí Ferð okkar fjögurra heitið er á Snæfellsnes Senn kemur langþráð frí og okkar allra bíður ástkært Snæfellsnes Við hoppum upp í bíl og okkar allra bíður ástkært Snæfellsnes Við hoppum upp í bíl, Við hoppum upp í bíl ég fer á Snæfellsnes Ég vona bara að fönnin mér fleyti heim. Verði ég úti kvöld þá verð ég úti með þeim.

Sótti að mér kunnuleg vera Vildi af þér bölfréttir bera sorgir kunngera mér Svörun mín illa til fundin 'Beðja þín, ófáar stundir, stundi hún undir mér' Vina mín vís til að breima Gullin þín ávallt mun geyma en biðst þess að gleyma þér.

Nóttin kallar, komdu í hlýjuna kuldinn andar ótt á gluggana. Flestir hérna horfa fram á veg hinir þó til baka, líkt og ég. Úti er orðið kalt en ég mun gæta þín (x2) Allra veðra von en ég mun gæta þín (x2) Athvörf tímans aldrei liggja greið augnablik sem halda sína leið. Minning, sem að mitt í dagsins önn máist burtu, grefur sig í fönn. Úti er orðið kalt en ég mun gæta þín (x2) Allra veðra von en ég mun gæta þín (x2) Ég mun ætíð gæta þín.

Mannhafið 02:56
Virðist mörgum vera blá valhoppandi til og frá. Klædd í rauðu kemur þá kaldhæðnin sem allir sjá. Hún er falleg, hún er ljót hrein sem mjöll og svört sem sót. Samviskan með fiman fót flýtir sér á stefnumót. Hún er löngum völt sem vín vináttan sem eykst og dvín. Merkilegt hvað margt er falt mannhafið er oft svo kalt. Æðruleysið oftast má afganginum mæta, já lausnaranum lifir hjá líkklæðin hann breiðir á. Verst af öllu virðist þó vist sem fáum veitir ró. Öfund sér þar bólstað bjó búin kápu og hrafnakló.

Day & Night 03:14
I’m awoken by a ray of light I´ve been dreaming of your arrival, like every night Im quick out of bed, it’s like a day at the races I dont even take time to tie my laces. And so I wait I´ve been waiting, been waiting every day and night, day and night. I run to the beach I see a ship in the distance I start wondering if you need assistance. And still I wait I´ve been waiting, been waiting every day and night every day and night day and night.

Money 01:03
You got me running circles for you I´ll keep running and when my legs are burning I´ll be there, still running I got no money babe but I got you and when you´re out of money You've got me too you've got me too you've got me too

This old town will break you down this old town will make you frown this old town will wear you down and this old town will kick you around All the ways you´ll disappoint yourself oh, the way you´ll disappoint. It never ends. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. Forever. This old town will wear you down and this old town will break you down this old town break you down and this old town will kick around All the ways you´ll disappoint yourself oh, the way you´ll disappoint. It never ends. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. Forever ´Cause this old town will break you down and this old town may wear you out but stick around and stand your ground and this old town can turn around I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. I´ll stay right here, for you, forever. Forever

Memory 04:30
Looking at the earth from outer space I can see your smile as it appears Looking at the home we can´t replace I can see my house from way up here If we only shared a memory If we only shared a memory a memory a memory, memory, memory Looking at our home it is the ground still so many places to be found Things can only live as memories and I know that your home is here with me If we only shared a memory If we only shared a memory a memory

Alunde 04:09
Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia All the stains on the walls and the windows it’s as if they know my name. They don´t care about my dreams and ambitions I should stay the same, oh stay the same I get up in the morning and the atmosphere is trying to hold me down doesn’t want me to leave for a second I should stick around, oh stick around But I don’t worry, I wont stay I´ll fly away and everything will turn out okay And my, my, my We´ll grow older, so much older And my, my, my You´ll grow older, so much older ´cause I´ll grow old with you. Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia It’s a shame that my life´s in the gutter ´cause my head is in the clouds but along with my dreams and ambitions there is also doubt, there´s so much doubt Writing words on an old candy wrapper it’s as if I sense a change I start off with a simple step forward and I clean the stains, I clean the stains And I don’t have to fly away I´ll be okay, as long as I have music to play And my, my, my We´ll grow older, so much older And my, my, my You´ll grow older, so much older ´cause I´ll grow old with you. Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia Alunde alunde Alunde aluia

Familiar 03:46
When I look in her eyes It all seems so familiar When I lay by her side It all seems so familiar familiar, familiar, you are. We don’t give a hoot or a holler We just speak our minds And if I were to go through times of stormy weather I’d love to have her by my side. Familiar, familiar, you are familiar.... you are. And as I look on the ground it all looks so familiar. In the dark of the night it all looks so familiar. I dug a hole in the ground the feeling was familiar. And as I laid down to die it all felt so familiar.
12.
Love & Lime 03:05
You and me sharing a tub of ice cream the flavour reminds me of the trip we took to Paris Floating through the streets as if in a dream with my favourite type of ice cream how I whish we were in Paris Remember, the ice cream parlor it was down on Place de la Concorde Remember, the Eiffel tower we´ve been waiting way too long in line If we could only turn back time If we could only turn back time If we could only turn back time To wondrous taste of love and lime We´d been looking around for the perfect flavour and I fell in love with with the one I found in Paris But maybe I was greedy searching high and low for something wrong But baby, please believe me I could never mean to do you wrong If we could only turn back time If we could only turn back time If we could only turn back time I would have chosen love and lime

Consequences 03:23
The consequences they speak to me and circumstances seem bleak to me I’m starting to wonder do you hear me Beginning to wonder do you hear me So if you hear me please speak to me yeah if you hear me please speak to me I’m starting to wonder do you hear me Beginning to wonder do you hear me
