Episode 6: The Outlaw Lovers (Story Behind our Theme Song)

Curious about the haunting song that is the intro and outro of our Eerie Iceland Podcast?  It's called, "Sofðu unga ástin mín" (Sleep, My Young Love).  The inspiration is drawn from the story of Eyvindur and Halla.  They were notorious Icelandic outlaws in the 18th century, whose exploits have become legendary! From being cursed by a witch to fleeing from the harsh conditions of servitude, Eyvindur and Halla took to a life of crime, engaging in daring heists and evading capture in the remote Icelandic wilderness. Their story is a captivating blend of rebellion, survival, a quest for freedom, and leaving an indelible mark on Icelandic folklore!  ::Bonus:: To compliment this episode, we include the full rendition of our theme song, "Sofðu unga ástin mín" (Sleep, My Young Love).
