“So, our last chance to post jams. From now on I'll only post my favorite icelandic songs. Eclectic bunch, I promise. Megas is an institution in icelandic music. He's our Tom Waits, our Paolo Conte, our Jaques Brel. The odd-looking songsmith with simple songs but twisted, satiric lyrics, and perhaps it's impossible to understand his music unless you know Icelandic. This song, a play on the myth of Orpheus and Euridice, was released on his most celebrated album, Á bleikum náttkjólum (Wearing pink nightgowns). It's classic in every sense of the word.
