A Cold War Reykjavík child is a label that has produced a great many productive artists that have made their mark on the Icelandic Cuture and Art scene.
Reykjavík was a dynamic place to grow up at the time and the post-war era was greatly influenced by the presence of an American Naval Base in the neighboring town of Keflavík.
Bakkastofa
In good weather in Grundarfjörður
in good weather in Grundarfjörður
quality of life worthwhile
the rivers lead to the fjord
the earth celebrates human life
the broad feather so wide
birds chirping at their nests
pale but slight wind
far in the distance I see a sheep
today no one sees boredom
life gets up early
churchyard with the ridge high
kisses the sea surface blue
on a green stream bank I lie
I chew the colorful yolk streak
islands off the land of lagoons
and the land radiates rays
Song and lyrics: Valgeir Guðjónsson
