Norðurljós Eivør Pálsdóttir [Northern Lights]

Time lapsed Northern Lights with "Eivør Pálsdóttir- Den liuse dag for".

Folklore:

The Valkyrie (valkyrja) are warlike virgins, mounted upon flying horses and armed with helmets and spears. They choose amongst the slain who comes to Valhalla and become the einherjare to serve Odin and the other Æsir and Vanir (gods from Asgard). When they ride forth on their errand, their armour sheds a strange flickering light, which flashes up over the northern skies, making what men call the "aurora borealis", or "Northern Lights".

I just want to point out that she's actually singing something biblical/christian: "Den liusa dag forgangen er" (The bright day has passed), a psalm written in 1588 by a Danish priest named Hans Christensen Sthen." (comment by: pyd1948) so I see where you could get the idea that she's singing about something that would perhaps closely resemble the way people 1000 yrs ago would sing, but at the same time the content of what she's singing is anything but pagan. Sorry about the run on sentences :P
