For this year’s Eurovision edition, contestants were challenged to perform a cover of a song of their choosing. UK representatives Remember Monday didn’t hesitate in their decision, selecting the stirring anthem “Húsavík (My Hometown).” This tune, made famous by the Netflix hit Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, has struck a chord with audiences around the world.
Nestled in North Iceland, Húsavík is not just a picturesque harbor town but also the emotional heart of the song. In fact, the song was nominated for an Academy Award and showcased live during the 2021 Oscars, where it captivated viewers with its heartfelt delivery and stunning backdrop.
In a delightful resurgence of this connection, locals from Húsavík have collaborated with the UK artists to create a new video, this time capturing the essence of the town that inspired the song. Remember Monday traveled to Húsavík to perform in the very place that has become synonymous with this melody, bringing a beautiful synergy of music and location to life.
As we anticipate the Eurovision Song Contest, let’s take a moment to appreciate the enchanting performance and breathtaking scenery. Best of luck to Remember Monday on this exciting journey!
