Damn, I forgot how it felt to actually know some of the songs prior to them entering the competition :p I think that ranking might be extremely difficult this year and I propose points to 14 countries to lessen the burden on my heart :d

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the presentation of the Danish song for the TAISC 2018.

Though the Danish jury has more or less been the same all through the years, we have been able to send different artists every time spanning a bunch of different genres. Now we will add another one.

The results haven't always been as we hoped for, but we have kept fighting.

From Kashmir to Sort Sol, we have been proud of all our contestants.

And we are this year as well.

It was hard to pick. 4 very different artists/groups were in the pot. 

A song was selected, but exept for a couple of mediocre live recordings of half the song, it wasn't possible to find it on youtube.

Other songs by the same band were considered, but most of the songs on the shortlist weren't on youtube. But we haven't given up on them. They may be back again, maybe even for the next open contest as more of their older stuff are on youtube. Therefore we decided to let another artist participate.

It comes from a genre that I usually don't listen to, but the latest album from this artist has truly caught my attention.
With a magnificent voice and a fantastic mix of the tough sounds of the metal and the more mystical, folkinspired vokals, we have one of the greatest Danish editions to a musical niche for a long time.

It is therefore my honour to present the song from Denmark...

 

Wait for it...

:DEN Myrkur - Ulvinde :DEN 

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Ja med ondt skal ondt fordrives 
I en svunden krop 
Buret inde som et dyr de lukker aldrig op 
Fanget i en dårekiste, drypper af mit blod 
Mørkets trofaste lakajer lænket til min fod 

Norge Norge Norge 

Solen er gået bort 
I nattens regn og vind 
Min barndoms tunge port 
Låst i mit kolde sind 

Langt ned i de dybe dale 
Der spejler sig i søen 
Det er her at jeg vil leve, det er her at jeg vil dø 
Under flodens askegrene finder jeg min sjæl 
Skyggerne forstenes, lyset slår dem jo ihjel 

Norge Norge Norge 

 

English:

 

Yes, by evil, evil must be fought

in a bygone body

Caged like an animal, they never open up
Caught in a madhouse, dripping my blood

The loyal lackeys of the darknes, chained to my foot

 

Norway Norway Norway

 

The sun has gone away

In the rain and wind of the night

The heavy gate of my childhood

Locked in my cold mind

 

Far down the deep valleys

mirroring in the lake

This is where I wanna live, this is where I wanna die

Under the ash branches of the river I find my soul

The shadows are being petrified, the light is killing them

 

Norway Norway Norway
