Story Behind The Song

The result of Mikkel alone with his beloved guitar. Compared to other The Alpine songs the simple structure feels liberating and has always been among the bands own favourites and an important album track. The song also shows a new side of Ida?s singing abilities: Opera.

Song Description

This song describes the place you?ll end up when a relationship is coming to an end. Once the passion is gone all that?s left is cold air?hence the title. When things go wrong it is often caused by lack of communication and therefore it?s also the best place to start fixing things.

Lyrics

Iceland

I'm sure I felt it
Long ago
But I'm not sure I feel it now
I must have meant it
Long ago
But I am certain times run out

Another patriotic deed
Sank in the sea
God, I feel lost underneath
Gotta have faith, enemy
Another drunken sailor's caught
Caught in the stream
God, I feel lost underneath
Is it just lust?lust

Talking just won't do the trick
Iceland took a piece of us
Talking is all that we have now
Iceland's just a mile away

Why overrate it
Validate
Giving me reasons not to try

So these are mediocre times
Time's flying by
Making us both satisfied
Even though no one is high
You got us to communicate
God, what a waste
Nothing was said anyway
Is it too late?late
