about
"Ekki Spurning," as the second track from his album "Á floti" (On Float) on September 8, 2023. Building upon his reputation for crafting enchanting melodies and evocative lyrics, Gosi takes listeners on a journey that delves into themes of self-discovery, adaptation, and the multifaceted human experience of navigating change.
In April, Gosi released "Tilfinningar" (Emotions) with the steadfast support of fellow songbird Salóme Katrín. "Ekki Spurning" continues this musical narrative, drawing inspiration from half-truths and the artist's perpetual quest for self-expression. The song tells the story of a fox that departs from its wild natural habitat to a vibrant small-town harbor, encapsulating the tension between longing and future aspirations. This auditory expedition invites listeners to explore themes of self-discovery, adaptation, and the all-encompassing human journey through change.
"Ekki Spurning" captures the essence of a continuous transformation; each moment giving way to another. Yet, this fox has forged its own path, wading through uncertainty.
The sonic tapestry of "Ekki Spurning" was expertly woven by Valgeir Skorri, with mastering by Árni Hjörvar.
About Gosi:
Gosi's music is a blend of bewitching melodies and introspective lyrics, resulting in a lively yet contemplative fusion of pop sounds. Gosi, sometimes more but never fewer than Andri Pétur Þrastarson, channels the spirit of Ísafjörður, a small town where tradition meets innovation. His music isn't just an auditory experience; it moves lips and hips in a harmonious rhythm.
Alongside the release of "Ekki Spurning," an accompanying music video directed by Andri Pétur Þrastarson will offer viewers a window into Gosi's creative world.
lyrics
Ekki spurning
Eitt verður annað
Hvað eftir annað
En þessi refur hefur
Vaðið fyrir neðan sig
Og spyr
Hvort er betra að selja
Líkama eða sál?
Á ég að veðja á mjaðmir
Eða tungumál?
Ekki spurning
Ekkert mál
Ekki spurning
Ekkert svar
Kannski blundar í mér kapítalisti
Eitthverstaðar þarna niðri undir meðvitundinni
Þú þekkir gjörning á
Lyktinni
Sama hvaða
Sama hvað
Er fjallið svalt
Og hafið kalt
Eitt verður annað
Hvað eftir annað
En þessi refur hefur
Varan á
Ekki spurning
Ekkert mál
Ekki spurning
Ekkert svar
Kannski blundar í mér kapítalisti
Eitthverstaðar þarna niðri undir meðvitundinni
Þú þekkir gjörning á
Lyktinni
Ekki spurning
Ekkert mál
Þú þekkir gjörning á
Lyktinni
Úúú
