Elín Hall - Oliver (Original Song) | Amplified

Elín Hall performs her original song “Oliver“ in an exclusive live recording session in Iceland. In some way, Oliver is a song about the idea of “the one that got away”. However, the reunited lovers remember what had kept them apart. It’s the pain of realizing that the fantasy of escaping reality together cannot, in reality, exist outside a daydream. I think the last line of the song “Oliver, getting too close to the sun will give you fever” says the whole story. Sometimes the things we pursue or feel like we want the most in the world might not be the things that are the best for us and can make us ill. Elín Hall is a young singer-songwriter from Reykjavík. She accompanies her music on guitar, often with a live band. Her debut album “Með öðrum orðum” (e. In Other Words) was nominated for folk album of the year at the Icelandic Music Awards 2021. Growing up, she moved back and forth from the small city Reykjavík to the cosmopolitan Montreal and even larger places in the United States. On the border of opposite worlds, Elín Hall has developed an "old soul" albeit the "young heart" of a dreamer who devours the urgency of telling life stories as the naked truth.
