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.

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.
