Icelandic song "Svartur afghan".. Chucking included :)

[KristinnEs]

Hello.. This is my first actual video attempt :) I know there is crappy sound and crappy video, but i had to use my laptop for recording so the quality isnt super..

You can still hear the song there tho :) Its kinda simple, but I like it. Kinda folksy here on iceland.. The original artist is called "Bubbi" and the translation on the name of the song is "Black Afghan".. It deals with heartbreak as a guy gets dumped by a girl forced into dumping him by her family, because he´s a punk.

Hope that made sense..

Now, the video :

Video lags a bit...and it's dark...BUT.
Great job on the chord changes. Was only a couple that were shaky....I've never heard the original song but I liked your version of it!
Keep em comin!!

The simple songs are often the best songs, ya know? I dug it! I might have to listen to some Icelandic music now to get a taste of what it's about. Got any artists recomendations? Please don't say Bjork either (is she from Iceland?.. I'm not sure).

Disobedience : Yeah, I have bad quality equipment, but am working on it. When I play the song the chord changes go fine, but as soon as I turn on the camera I feel like my fingers have a mind of theyr own, dont go where I order them to go :) Took a few takes, and that was sadly the best one of the bunch :P

Zeppelin_Maniac: Icelandic music, hmm ... Bubbi is good, Some of his song are really sad, but he almost only sings in icelandic. So thats not very good. Umm,, Wolfgang is a big band at the moment.. Lights on the highway are good too..

I´ll let you know if I think of more.

Thanks for the post. I liked it. Video is a problem for a lot of us. I'm working on getting a set up myself.
