Here's the song structure. Slugging to With You by Daði Freyr. The pinch harmonics are wild. Nice depth. Try the groove. Source:

The last part of this pull quote is the actual story. Not all the quaint bullshit I was excited about.
"By 2024, the community had outgrown its rented rooms and church basements and purchased the building that became the new #Jewish center, roughly tying one in #Fairbanks, #Alaska, as the northernmost #Chabad houses in the world. The building sits in #Reykjavik’s compact downtown, just blocks from the iconic #RainbowStreet and #Harpa #OperaHouse that make the city one of the most Instagram-friendly sites in the world.
In a city that caters to tourists, and for a community built largely from #immigrants, longtime #Icelandic Jewish families, and people who married into Icelandic life, the new center represents something rare: a shared physical home.
“It’s been clear for a long time that we need a home for our community,” said one Jewish resident in #Iceland, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because not all of his colleagues know he is Jewish."

@SimonRoyHughes There are languages that are losing speakers, and are on track to no longer be spoken, like Sámi and Kven.
#Icelandic is not one of those languages, and it wasn't under Danish rule. 93% of the population of Iceland are native, daily speakers.
Jakobsdóttir's anecdote that "kids in Iceland are even conversing in English sometimes between themselves" is not a serious challenge to this established pattern.
