Ólafur Arnalds - Zero
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Zero is one of the songs from 'some kind of peace' that I cherish the most, especially due to the fact it serves a very significant purpose on the record as a whole. It represents the lowest point of the album journey, but it’s also the moment when everything starts to turn around - a reminder of the contrasting struggle and hope we all find within ourselves and our relationships.
some kind of peace

I have functional Neurological disorder. It was caused by severe trauma. And your music has helped me in ways that I cannot fully explain. No words are adequate enough. Your music is bringing me back to myself the one person I lost and needed the most.
WOW!! Music is so powerful!
Wow
@@wolfpackvisualmedia9688 it is so incredibly powerful
🌸🌿💗
Wow... This is truly beautiful, I wish you my best... You know I Have a aunt that is in a dificult time, you give me an idea... I hope works...
Thanks for share with is your experience.
The light and shadows are like being under water...
Ohh it's true :0
came for the humans dancing, stayed for the light & shadows dancing
interesting idea
I lost my husband two years ago to a fatal heart attack. We fell in love in a forest. This video illustrates our 39 years of marriage. I wish I could have carried him on my shoulders more. Thank you for this and all of your music.
so sorry for your loss. you literally have me in tears here. sending you love and healing.🤗 I pray you re OK...
He will be always by your side, I’m sure.
❤️
Wow .. that actually made me cry.
I'm sorry for your loss .. but true love never dies .. especially, for those of Faith in Christ whose promise of Eternal Life is like no other 'religion'.
Hey. Watched this again..and thought of you. Sending love. Hope ur OK.🤗
❤🙏❤️
I have been a filmmaker for many years and i can safely say...this a masterpiece.
Never seen something like this before.
It's amazing, like a beautiful journey and relationship ❤️
@Cüneyt Şenkal Watch the Valtari entries, Sigur Ros. There was an entry with similar choreography. Its just as much an impeccable masterpiece as this is.
@@j.c.m5168 dude not the choreography :) video itself.
@Cüneyt Şenkal ..... yeah. Apparently you still didn't watch what I recommended or you'd realize that was a dumb response. Lol
The cinematography on all your music videos are beyond words.
Such a great work every time
Because it's from Iceland & they are geniuses!
bro 🤯
Yeah... Its truly about art, the song n visual
Totally agree!
I adore you, my sweet Ólafur... you have healed my heart in unimaginable ways...
Ughhh same. I love him so much
O mesmo acontece comigo, quando triste basta ouvir sua música.
💙Incredibly lovely🎼👒💖
Word!
I’m such a huge fan of his. I can’t even find the right words to express how I feel from his music. My life has been full of so much grief and severe trauma. I’m physically crippled now because of it. And this particular video and song. Water is the only place I am free from my body. And that’s what it looks like in the video is dancing underwater. Omg 😭😭😭 so breathtaking and heartbreakingly beautiful 🥲
"Our love isn't perfect but we don't give up on each other." I believe that was the message of this work of art.
Man, just that one shot that begins at 4:11.. the light washing down the trees in the background makes it seem like he's ascending, carrying them both upwards, until the shot widens and puts them back on the ground. Such a dreamlike feeling..
I saw this almost a year ago and was speechless. I've been searching it ever since but had no idea what words to use... I'm ecstatic to have found it again. Stunning. The dance, like a conversation. The lights, like being underwater. The scary forest, portrayed as a place of comfort. The music... like water for the soul
Like in the most beautiful dream ever lived ... Outstanding made ... 😽😽🤗♥️🙏
This.. This makes life a more peaceful place to stay.
A very metaphoric moment when she becomes his shoulders. And he thus elevates her over himself and allows her to finally connect with its nature
❤️
♥️♥️
This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen. Thank you Olafur.
This is not only the craft all composers should aspire to, it is also the feeling of hope that all of us should aspire to
Colours, play of shadows, dynamics between movement and stillness.. Music and silence...Absolute masterpiece! Thank you!
The most beautiful music video ive seen so far this year! Beautifully chorochraphed, majestic environment, pure facial expressions and excelent job on the lighting.
The LIGHTING!!!❤
After years of dancing to Olafur's music in the Contact Improvisation community... finally a music video with Contact Improvisation! I am in bliss
Astonishing. Olafur must be so proud of everyone who has contributed to this piece of art. Sublime
I've watched BROADCHURCH just because I've listened the main theme composed by him
This music and video is a five minute masterpiece. Thank you all for this. 🙏
I hope some day I'll watch this without pause... because everytime my tears bluring this masterpeace visuals.
Your music is medicine for my life 🥰🥰🥰love from Mexico 🇲🇽
Sometimes I get an overwhelming feeling of "knowing" something, and I'm not sure how I know what it is....but that's what I felt from this experience.
It's like a combination of conflicting emotions dancing along with the two in the video, dancing to the beautifully haunting music. It made me happy, and sad, and angry, and I had to hold back some tears...still have to hold back some tears.
I didn't know that I needed this right now, but I did--I do. Thank you.
Your words, thank you. They describe it all for this piece of Art.
Getting chills throughout whole song, just everything from cinematography to the last note all is so peaceful and pure. Ólafur you are a musical genius.
I’ve never been able to see choreography or dancing as anything more than moving to music. But this choreography has actually allowed to see a story in the performance and its truly beautiful. I don’t know what they were trying to portray, but I saw a story of a relationship from when they first meet, through sickness and caring for one another and holding each other up, but ultimately they truly move as one and rarely have any distance between them. Almost like watching birds fly together. Again, just a beautiful performance to an already deeply moving piece of music.
I just watched this video, yet I don't know what I just watched. But I do know it's good, very good, amazingly good. The music, the forest, the lights, the dancing - something new to me in that combination. Thank you very much indeed for the video!
Your music is a beautiful escape as always Olafur...and with that ethereal landscape and choreography...you’re immediately transfixed in a fast paced world.
this reminds me of some kind of liminal world that we've all traversed before and makes my heart long for something that i don't have words for. i think i miss being where i was before i was born
So many of us do as well...
🌹
You re not alone in how you feel.🤗
My soul has been searching for such a quiet place like that to stay, thanks for sharing! It is really beautiful! The harmony of music, dance, and the shadows is really impressive!
I believe true art is meant to speak to the soul without necessarily uttering a word. This to me is a perfect example of true art. As the notes play, it's almost as if you picture them dancing in perfect harmony; and the dancers in this video did a perfect representation of that. And as the dancers move, it's almost as if they are communicating with the audience saying, "It might be zero hour right now, but do know that it's always darkest before dawn. " This is a beautiful masterpiece Olafur.
I was scared before I realized it was some beautiful intimate contact choreography. Your work is stunning and moving, really charming. Thank you.
So true...that at the lowest points that something turns around...even when something dies, something else is born. Such poignance in your music and thoughts as always Olafur....Thank you
What a beautiful piece... The music is beautiful. The dancers are beautiful, as well as the way they move and their symbiosis. The cinematography and the way the light moves with and around the characters. It shows there are struggles in love, but there's also play and support. It's a peaceful but strong music and video. Thank you for this.
This is by far the most beautiful music video I've ever seen! 🌿
I will always have a special predilection for content recorded at night. When people collect themselves and go to the places where things happen together with the people we fully trust, surrounded by a dim but threatening light, a deafening silence, a vulnerable confidence.
This is Something Else 😵🙌🙌
Emotional overload. What a beautiful & heartfelt piece. So moving. 😭
Extraordinary lighting design. Reminds me of that shadow scene from the movie 1917
Just beyond words, so why am I trying?! Thank you for having the brilliance, vision, imagination and artistry we all desire.
Olafur, i know you are reading this, this is so beautiful, I love it so much, you don't imagine how much you touch my soul with this masterpiece, thanks for being you, and thanks for showing me this beautiful world of music.
Love, Ricardo De Santiago,
P.D. keep going plase.
your music and especially some kind of peace has been there for me during the good times and has also helped me get through the bad. thank you Ólafur
Its like its shot underwater...the light is behaving. Ethereal.
It's like remembering a forgotten dream!
Love!
This forest is so beautifully enchanting. I want to dance in it too! 🥰
The song is good. . . 9/10 . . . to me. The lighting, dance, and environment in tune to the song make it . . . 11/10 . . . to me. A beautiful song if just heard but when watched it has only a handful of contenders.
the colors are amazing.....I will absorb these as an influence.
You wrote about this song as follows: It seems to me that the two in the forest in this video are at the bottom of the deep sea. Or, I remember one scene from the Japanese animation, . It is a scene of the two in the Toxic Jungle. The scene full of despair and hope. The Toxic Jungle is described in Japanese as the Rotten Sea/Fu ka i/腐海.
4:50 - now That! was outstanding.
Beautiful. Spiralling life. 🙂💚💗💚🙂
WOW. Wonderful.
Lovely. The video was captivating also and I don't normally like video music. Very healing. Nice one.👍😎
The lighting is really haunting , gets me everytime I watch
Beautiful! Thank you 4 such lovely melody 💓💓💝💝💞💞💞💞🌱
Very beautiful and delicate. I interpret it as showing pure human intimacy and unconditional love
A dream. Takk Ólafur for giving us such magic and beauty during these wild times.
How the fuck can 18 people dislike this? Have they no idea how much time, effort, dedication, passion, skill and time it’s taken to make something as achingly beautiful as this? Congratulations to Olafur and the whole team behind this, it’s sensational. Wow.
Nevertheless! LANGUAGE, pleease . . . .
Apologies.
I don’t even understand how millions and millions and possibly billions do not know who he is. No one I know knows him. His music is my life. I’m such a fan of his. I have Functional Neurological Disorder caused from severe trauma throughout my lifetime. His music is helping me find my way back to myself 😢💕🙏
@Hybrid - agree 100%
"The lips of wisdom are sealed except to the ears of understanding." Some choose to see with their hearts, some with their minds. But if your mind's eye is blind, if your heart is of stone, how can you appreciate such piece of art? You cannot. That is why some people dislike this, because it is not within the power of everyone to internalise such sublime level of art.
My heart is rejoicing for Ólafur going back to his roots. Living Room Songs has been up until now my fav album of his. Zero is the first song for me to come close again. Takk fyrir ❤
So beautiful! The lighting! I love this so much.
Beautiful as always....love the lighting of this video...creates a beautiful atmosphere
Surreal in a way that assigns new layers of meaning to our known reality, wonderful work!
Absolutely perfect! The music, light, movements, expressions, flow, scenario... Beautifully put together.
U both could have danced forever! Didn't want this to end!
Extraordinary! Just as you are, Ólafur
This is a masterpiece. The music. The movement. The art. I’m so in awe. ❤️
This is beyond beautiful and powerful... thank you for this out-of-this-world experience. Two quite dragons dancing till the end in the forest - what can be more true, vibrant and magical))
your music is brilliant. i will cherrish every momment of you and the musicians preformance in antwerp for the rest of my life.
The lighting in this video is so breath taking.
This video absolutely represents how a relationship works. It's the best video I've ever seen. :)
Olafur, thank you for the music you compose and share with us. I am grateful to your grandmother who forcefed you Chopin and you ended up who you are!!!
Outstanding Olafur...you never disappoint...the music is so poignant and the dance clip so very beautiful...thankyou...thankyou

Merci.
This is otherworldly! Thank you
BEAUTIFUL!
Out of all of the great music I've found throughout my life , yours is the most treasured it's very dear to me and all music kind of puts you in a feeingl and for the most part you can ignore and block those feelings but your music olafur it can't be ignored , if I'm at work and a certain piece of yours comes on i have to change it because it moves me to tears . I've never understood life the way I do when I listen to Olafur Arnold's. This piece zero is an all around masterpiece . This is what I wish my heaven to be like . If you pay attention to their movements they're actually telling a story . Thank you Olafur for everything, you really are a legend and an all around beautiful person.
I have no words! It's perfect!😍🤩🕺💃🎶🎹🎬💖👏💐
Esta canción salió sola mientras estudiaba, y de pronto senti el frio de farellones en chile. Yo trabajando en la nieve, mis manos congeladas el viento fuerto en mi rostro. Una temporada dificil y tan bella a la vez. Como puede ser que seamos criaturas tan impredecibles que con solo melodias puedan abrirse recuerdos, memorias que estaban reconditas en lo más profundo de ti.Gracias.
Amazing! I cried! This made my day, i love it in so many ways. Thanks for this lovely music and video. Hugs from Guadalajara, Mexico.
Absolutely lovely. Eloquent and captivating. Thank you
This could not have come at the better time.. when pandemic is reeling our worlds and nobody knows what future holds.. because we got so accustomed to have an instant gratification from everything we do..when relationships are tested to their limits.. so yeah ZERO seems like an appropriate ground to start from if there is any hope in bettering our world. Yet it is very simple.. it starts in the darkest corners of our own forest minds'. Thank you, Olafúr, for this beautiful story and accomplished music..
Huge credz to @joshuastocker ‘n team that made the music video~! It takes a director whose vision as a graphic artist can drive a talented group of folk to materialize a timeless love of two people as the world spins upward and upward. The dancers and camera runners could’ve easily performed to the pure sound of nature leaves and steps and branches cracking under their feet as they move around, and the video would’ve been just as beautiful. Try to mute and watch without audio.. you can hear their breaths as life notes how their carry the melody together! Amazing..
Beautiful takes me to another world xxx
First comment... I love this kind of deep music.. 🤗
Regards from algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿
J'aime tellement se que vous ressentez. C'est si beau et intense. Merci l'artiste. Vous êtes un maître de l'art, sans contestation. Je remercie tous ces artistes qui ont contribué à faire vivre votre musique 🎶 SUBLIMÉE ❤❤❤
One word...........beautiful
I feel warmth and safety
For all eternity. Your biggest fan from Mexico 🇲🇽. Listen your music makes me feel in the middle of the galaxy.
Beautiful x
😮😮 Calming and absolutely beautiful. Taken 3 brought me here. Late, but I’m so grateful
If you let yourself go and free you mind to feel the depth of the music you will find yourself dancing freely like them . No care but the moment entwined.
this is like a dream you only remember a few seconds of.
This is true poetry..magic ..🌲✨💚
