Hello everyone! My name is Linda Björg and I love music. On my channel you'll find some songs written by me, some covers and some entertainment videos (or at least I hope it's entertaining), such as my cooking videos, which are new. Maybe I'll do some vlogs in the future (who knows). I have always had a wide range of interests so I guess this channel is going to be sort of like a bag of unsorted candy. I hope you enjoy my uploads and if you really do, I would be very happy to have some subscribers, comments or likes. :3
Hveitikökur
Hveitikökur, is a Christmas song I wrote a year ago. Hveitikökur are a traditional type of bread (kind of?) that are baked during Christmas in Iceland, but as I've found out it's more of a tradition in the West fjords. Since I can remember my family has baked these goods every year this time of year and so this song is about the family being together and baking.
Lyrics (icelandic version):
Þegar ég var yngri og fékk að vaka lengur
aðeins lengur en gerist og gengur
og úti var mikill snjór.
Öll fjölskyldan kom saman að baka allar sortir,
dugnaðinn ei skorti
og í glugga beið lítill skór.
En það var eitt sem mig langaði í
og gat varla beðið heila árið eftir því.
Þar sem allir voru með að baka saman hátíðlegar
Hveitikökur með hangikjöti og smjöri,
það minnir mig á fjörið á jólunum.
Hveitikökur, volgar voru bestar,
þá borðuðust þær flestar á jólunum.
Að baka hveitikökur er al-vestfirskur siður
bara um jól, því miður,
en þannig er nú það.
Sumir steikja kökur í massavís
Og þó að úti frýs
Hlýnar mér í hjartastað
Að hugsa um eitt sem mig langar í
og get varla beðið næstu jólin eftir því.
Þar sem allir eru með að baka saman hátíðlegar
Hveitikökur með hangikjöti og smjöri,
það minnir mig á fjörið á jólunum.
Hveitikökur, volgar eru bestar
þá borðast þær allflestar á jólunum.
Translation of the lyrics:
When I was younger and got to stay up late,
a little later than usual
and there was lots of snow outside
All the family came together to bake all kinds of sorts
Everybody worked so hard
and in the window there waited a little shoe*
But there was one thing that I really wanted
and I hardly could wait the whole year for
where everybody came together
and baked festive
Hveitikökur with hangikjöt** and butter
it reminds me of the fun
at Christmas
Hveitikökur warm were best
then most of them got eaten
at Christmas
To bake hveitikökur is a tradition in the West fjords
only during Christmas
but that's the way it is
And some bake a mountain of cakes
and even though it's freezing outside
my heart stays warm
To think about the one thing that I want
I can barely wait for next Christmas
where everybody came together
and baked festive
Hveitikökur with hangikjöt** and butter
it reminds me of the fun
at Christmas
Hveitikökur warm were best
then most of them got eaten
at Christmas
*The little shoe is also a tradition in Iceland during Christmas, kids put one shoe in their bedroom window so one of the thirteen santas can bring them gifts. Weird, but cute!
**Hangikjöt is smoked lamb that is quite common as a topping on bread or as a standalone dish with potatoes, green beans and white sauce during Christmas.

It's been a while! 3 years since I've sang to an audience. Far too long. But anywho! My little sister asked me to sing this song for her graduation concert. She's the one playing the piano. She is absolutely amazing. :) Proud big sister here!

This song is about my hometown and my favorite place on earth, Flateyri. This song was recorded some years ago in the studio Tankurinn. Önundur H. Pálsson played the drums, recorded and mixed the song. Ásgeir Helgi Þrastarson, the one who took these awesome photos, played the guitar and bass and also helped co-write the song.

Little Hope

Haven't composed anything in a while, mostly because I was afraid it would be too dramatic. But I've accepted that sometimes it's ok to be a bit dramatic. Writing a song when you feel sad and go with it like it is, is hard. It feels nice to admit those feelings and it somehow makes you feel better. About the intro, my cousin Eva helped with that. I wanted to create some story behind the song. T...

HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!! This song is a bit different. Felt inspired and wanted to practice working with MIDI files and went straight to my keyboard to play some melodies in. No vocals here, just instrumental. Kinda feel like it would be great to put some rap in it but I think that would just be embarrassing for me. Heh. If you have any ideas how to make the song better or any comments at all, ...

In memory of my dearest grandmother who passed away 14th of November. I wasn't able to record the song like I wanted, just used my computer but this is a promise that I'll make a proper record of it one day. I played it on a old piano my grandparents have at their place so the creaking is the sound of the pedal and the chair I sat on. I don't know about you, but to me it gives the song a differ...

you are fascinating my dear, continue all the support from a pagan brother
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, FOUND IT TONIGHT
I would say this is the best version I found on youtube, and I looked for a good one for so long. Congratulations!
Indeed
NO !!! the recording of Hamrahlidarkorinn is so much more convincing and touching !!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Woah how do you not have more subscribers? You're amazing!
You are very talented, I hope you continue to make music. Your arrangement of this is simply beautiful!

þetta er vel flutt og mjög islenst. takk.
fallegt hja þer .
You are correct this song does have a different feel to it, kinda like you are singing for someone who is sick or passing, like this is their last wish and they are with you in that moment.
+Magnum Gal thank you for that beautiful comment <3
