Leið á þessu
“Leið á þessu” and “Gaddavír” have been really only one music at first however I made a decision to separate them and make them two as a result of the primary and second half have been so utterly completely different. I knew some folks would get pleasure from one half higher than the opposite so I made a decision to separate them on the finish. In the event you hearken to them again to again you may hear how they glide easily collectively and form of makes them a one complete expertise.
Gaddavír
