#SongLyricSunday ♫ “If I Had A Heart” – Fever Ray – THC’s “Vikings”

Last weekend, I had my post all created and ready to go for the movie song challenge (Working 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton) and then I completely forgot to schedule it. 😦 Oh, well. I guess I will find a reason to post it another time!

This week’s theme is: A Song Featured Prominently in a TV Show

I already wrote an AMAZING post for “Carry On My Wayward Son” by Kansas featuring a live performance by the band at Comicon during #RocktoberMusicFest that you can check out here. I’m a huge Supernatural fan, so of course that’s always the first song that comes to mind when I think about TV shows, but I try to keep from posting repeats if I can help it.

So, my pick for today is “If I Had A heart” by Fever Ray, which is the opening theme song for The History Channel’s most popular show ever: Vikings. Any Vikings fans can hear this song from a mile away, just the first few notes, and will instantly channel their inner Viking, probably by shouting “Skol” or some other Scandinavian word they’ve picked up from the series. Of course “A Song of Ice and Fire” is exactly the same for Game of Thrones fans (“Dracarys” even has its own clothing line), but unfortunately, there are no lyrics to that popular intro song – otherwise, I’d have chosen it, instead.

I have included both the official music video and a video clip of the show’s intro, just because I can and I wanted to. 😀 I’m still trying to get caught up on Vikings so no spoilers in the comments, please – I was a late viewer to the series. Make sure you stop by Jim’s blog, A Unique Title For Me to check out all of the song picks for today. Enjoy!

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more

If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings

Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah

If I had a voice, I would sing

Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more

Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more

Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah

If I had a voice, I would sing
