7. SOUNDBITE (English) Gåte, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Norway:
Gunnhild Sundli: "What’s particularly Norwegian about that? Oh, the language. And the old language because the language is not like – in Norway also many struggle to understand the lyrics because they are so old and archaic. Archaic?"
Magnus Børmark: "Archaic, yeah."
Gunnhild Sundli: "And also you have the calling, in the refrain, in the chorus and that’s also very Norwegian, I will say. Scandinavian. That’s because that’s an old traditional way of singing they use in the mountains, to call their animals back to the farm and it had to reach very, very far."

If we want something, we’re going to do it. We’re going to reach it. No matter what. We’re very courageous and we’re very brave people. So maybe that."
