Ansgar (latinized Ansgarius; Old Norse Ásgeirr) is a Germanic given name, composed of the elements ans "god", and gar "spear". Saint Ansgar, (801 – 865) was an archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen, active in the Christianization of Scandinavia. His feast day is 3 February.
Ansgar is the Old High German form of the name. The form Asger was in use in Denmark in the medieval period. The Old English cognate of the name is Ōsgār (the given name Oscar is however etymologically unrelated, being of Irish origin). Modern variants of the name include Norwegian Asgeir, Icelandic Ásgeir, Danish Asger, Eske, Esge, Asgar, Asker.

Plot: As a young boy David witnessed a fatal car accident, causing the death of his younger brother. Since then he has sought comfort in a Chinese philosophy video called The Higher Force. To this day, the wisdom of the Higher Force is guiding David through life and despite him being a member of questionable gang of debt-collectors, David is certain that fate has something greater in store for him. Upon moving into a new building, David befriends the landlord, Harald, a lonely elementary school teacher, who senses the young man's insecurity and need for guidance. When Harald finds out that David is a member of a debt-collectors gang, Harald starts playing himself as a big crime lord, owning real estate all over town, employing dubious characters and receiving large shipments of illegal goods from abroad. David's low status amongst his debt-collector mates, who keep putting him down for being a coward, quickly changes once David starts feeding them information on Harald, the mysterious crime lord. He becomes the center of attention as he risks his life to spy on the 'dangerous' elementary school teacher and his big operations for the paranoid debt-collector gang. David is certain that fortune's turn of events is due to the influence of the Higher Force, enjoying every minute of the gang's new found respect for him. Little by little, cracks start to form in David's new existence. Harald's behavior becomes stranger by the day, causing trouble for David's spying game, as the pressure increases from the gang to take immediate action against Harald and his operations. The gutless David will need to take action against the innocent Harald or end up in a ditch himself.

Stardust is the next single from Ásgeir's highly anticipated brand new album, Afterglow. Order here: https://asgeir.lnk.to/afterglow-deluxeYT Stardust lyrics: What’s the use of reaching for your heart, when we sail miles apart. I gave you tomorrow’s useless broken try, to make our world alive. I’m free from lover’s breathless scream, following me. Perhaps you could just take one small chance, and see maybe you need me. I’m the man that stands behind you, real calm while you prove yourself Understand that there is someone waiting, till the curtains close. Me, I’m a watercolour washing off into the deepest sea. Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in light. I’m the man that stands behind you, real calm while you prove yourself ...
