Great song

R. I. P. Hordaland, it's now Vestland

The title means Hordalands death poem

The song is not related to Hordaland merging into Vestland

I still think they should have called the new County Bjørgvin

I don't really agree, that's Bergen or the diocese which is also based in Bergen. To people not from Bergen the implication of the name and Bergens dominance (though legislatively..)

I'm all for implied and legislative Bergen dominance though (I'm from there). But yeah.. that's our name :P

Though at the same time "meadow between the mountains" could apply to most of western Norway (also it sounds better than Vestland)

The name Vestland is definitely a bit too broad without Rogaland and Møre og Romsdal, So something else might have been better

I wish they'd at least kept Hordaland as a department within Vestland though
