Not arts sry but some personal thoughts about The Last Kingdom’s music and Eivør
Thinking about tlk and I feel like the whole OST is soooooo underrated! The works John Lunn and Eivør gave us deserve never-ending appreciation :) I actually stumbled upon the last kingdom only because:
1) after watching Vikings it has been on my Netflix recommendation for, uh, at least 3 years and btw I DONT KNOW WHY I DIDNT CHECK IT OUT EARLIER
2) I love historical Vikings and Old Norse culture in general
3) One day browsing Eivør’s Spotify profile and found out she took part in the soundtracks of the WHOLE show??? then I listened to the album and they’re insanely great??? Like I watched Vikings because they used Heilung’s music as one of their soundtracks so I was like, “now I can’t think of any single reason why not watching it huh”
I met Trøllabundin when I was in middle school and it. never. ever. fails to amaze me. Eivør did countless lives of this song and every version is their own masterpiece. Since then Nordic folk is a no turning back for me.
If there’s anyone who loves the soundtracks but hasn’t heard Eivør’s other works before- please also check them and I promise you won’t regret it!

Eurovision 2003 - Number 17 - Eivør Pálsdóttir - "Í nótt"
youtube
If you want to know what's going to win my national final of the year, I'll spoil it now. Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 2003 is seriously strong. Like Malta in 2002, Iceland and RÚV decided to just go for it in a big way. There's one act in the competition who hasn't made my top 48, who I think would have made the top 20 if she hadn't come up against two other Icelandic entries earlier in the bracket...
One of those who has made it through is Eivør Pálsdóttir. In the grand tradition of Icelandic female singers (including Björk) she was already the lead singer in a band at the age of 15. In Eivør's case, she was the singer of Clickhaze. In 2002 she was recruited to be the singer in Yggdrasil, a Faroese art-collective/folk super-group (Eivør is Faroese). 2002 also saw her move to Reykjavik to study music. When RÚV came calling, how she could refuse the opportunity to sing at Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins?
Í nótt (Tonight) is Icelandic bossa nova done just right. Far from the Nordic folk music, this is slow, chill and the whammy bar on the guitar is getting a good twanging throughout. Eivør seduces us with the most relaxed way possible. Her voices glides alongside the guitar in a haze of promises. The mood is languid.
Isn't this just absolutely everything you could want from a national final song? And it's only 18th in my list - craziness.
Unfortunately unlike nearly every other Eivør song, I can't find the lyrics - and that's despite this very song winning several song-writing prizes throughout 2003 and 2004. Given the praise this song has earned, it's only write to credit Fridrik Erlingsson and Ingvi Þór Kormáksson the song-writers. Ingvi has also written four other Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins entries, but this was his first.
Eivør has gone on to have huge success in a variety of musical genres. As well as winning Faroese of the year in 2004, she has a grand total of 18 albums, huge numbers of performances and concerts across Europe and perhaps best know outside her devoted following as the singer and co-composer of the Gods of War soundtrack. Many of her songs on YouTube have more than a million views, and her Faroese throat singing is a viral hit with voice coaches and reaction channels . Her Icelandic language cover of Den Vilda also made the Icelandic Chart
Eurovision missed out on this voice. Here's something from a live performance at the Town Hall in Torshavn - Falling Free.
