Ozark Henry musician

Piet Goddaer is a Belgian musician, better known by his stage name Ozark Henry.

Icelandic language North Germanic language mainly spoken in Iceland

Icelandic is a North Germanic language spoken in Iceland. Along with Faroese, Norn, and Western Norwegian it formerly constituted West Nordic; while Danish, Eastern Norwegian and Swedish constituted East Nordic. Modern Norwegian Bokmål is influenced by both groups, leading the Nordic languages to be divided into mainland Scandinavian languages and Insular Nordic. Historically, it was the westernmost of the Indo-European languages until the Portuguese settlement in the Azores.

The album was preceded by the single "This One's For You", which was released on 10 September 2010. The album also features "Godspeed", a previously released single (which was also on the compilation album A Decade). The version of "Godspeed" on this album is prolonged when compared to the single. A live version of "Godspeed" was also released on the live album Grace.
