No, Not Stray Kids

Instead, it's this perfectly gorgeous piece from the anime "Made in Abyss." 

The entire soundtrack of all the series' seasons was created by Kevin Penkin, and I think he's brilliant. This, though; this is transcendent and always brings tears to my eyes. 

Also, when I was reading the Icelandic lyric, it suddenly occurred to me that Icelandic might be related linguistically to the language spoken in the Faroe Islands, (possibly because of elisi , who doesn't quite live rent free in my brain, but does have a guest bedroom there) My google-fu tells me that's the case. 

Anyhow, I'm tired and kind of burned out, so I'm heading to bed. Here's the music.

Your google fu is correct. It sort of goes like this, from Most Like Old Norse, to Least:

Old Norse -> Icelandic -> Faroese -> Norwegian/Swedish (complicated, I'm not going to untangle now) -> Danish

Me too! Thank you for music. <3

As I said to cmcmck, above, I'm so glad to learn more about the languages around the UK, northern Europe and Scandinavia. And wow - the proximinity between Old Norse, Icelandic and Faroese is fascinating.

We did a bit of Old Norse etc in school (I almost wrote college, but your college is uni, so high school for you. Age 16-18), and it was... not easy, but for a Faroese person it's possible to unpick. I think Icelandic people can read it a lot easier. A Danish person would be fully stumped.
