I can't BELIEVE the ending to this song. I physically can't believe it. How something so simple - three chords. Three chords on strings. Over and over again. I haven't heard anything so heartbreaking in my ENTIRE life. Heartbreaking.
Jonsi has the most beautiful, amazing voice. Saw them live in 2008, they were totally awesome, made me cry, they sounded so beautiful. A very talented group, not widely known and they should get more recognition for their music.
That flickering image of the boy going in and out of focus at the end perfectly mirrors the longing in the strings: It's like a slowly fading memory...
I never want this song to end. As previously stated, heartbreakingly beautiful is a good way to describe it. The music is so powerful it evokes so many emotions and all run through me at once, I can't even hardly handle it. I tear up everytime. It's saddening, but peaceful and passionate and romantic all at the same time. A possible choice for my wedding and funeral music, definitely.
There are almost no words to describe the incredible emotion here. It sounds like he's singing: "you sighed, oh no. You so love few. You so know woe fire. You sunlight, you". Just my interpretation here.
Cheers I've got Takk and Heima came in the post yesterday. Absolutely class. The Scenery coupled with the music was amazing, particularly enjoyed the glacier creaking along.
"Hopelandic" is the Sigur Ros version of bebop. It's all nonsensical syllables, and it's made so that listeners come up with their own lyrics and song meaning instead. I also think it allows the listener to enjoy the instruments as well, which are wonderful. That lazy electric guitar sound- It's lovely. :)
You saw the whole You sighed oh no oh life You sighed all for You sighed oh no You sighed only should I I know I love you You saw no one for You don't know I would You You don't love you You don't know, how could You don't know I would You You don't know you
@Labanita89 Well, the lyrics are in hopelandic, which is a "language" made by Jónsi, it's like a combination of icelandic and english sounds, but it has no structure, grammar or anything else. So, there aren't lyrics for this song, If you want to sing along, listen careful and learn the "words" he sings, it works. You'll find that he repeats the same sounds all along. Cheers!.

nothing wrong with that post actually, if you ignore caps and read over few times, you can understand what he meant actually :)poor english skills made it difficult

I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN MY CIRCLE OF FREIENDS THAT GET SIGOR ROS BUT SO DO MY CHILDREN THEY ARE AGED 2 and 3 SIGOR ROS AND MY CHILDREN MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE ! REPLY ??
The ending kills me.
It's been seven years since i looked out for an Andvari live video, and this still is the only one on the whole internet i've found...
Oscaracer there's videos of them performing it right after gong live during their 2012 tour.
@Rod Torres running directly to it! :O
@Rod Torres couldn't find it!
@Rod Torres where can we find it? :)
when you miss someone and this song brings back all those amazing memories you had with tem
I can't BELIEVE the ending to this song. I physically can't believe it. How something so simple - three chords. Three chords on strings. Over and over again.

Jonsi without his guitar just pouring out pure emotion just makes this perfect.
This song brings me tears in my eyes.
Feels like i'm in heaven.
This is..
Beatiful!
The violins at the final part... can't describe the emotions... I just lose myself in nowhere... simply beatiful
I have just lost my beloved cat and first thing i listen to is Sigur ros to ease my mind.....
Happens to me too
I love the cadence at the end where you think it's going to end and then....it comes right back in....and then out, and then in again....fantastic.

This song is so beautiful it reminds me of being on holiday and looking up at a clear blue sky and wondering if I can see into heaven briefly.
una de las mas hermosas canciones que he escuchado en mi vida
Beautiful!
Amazing track....

como le haces para saber eso¡?
como le haces para saber eso?
@speedybill47 lol thanks man ive listened to it enough times.
does anyone know if andvari is on heima?
this is correct!!!
sounds like your describing Untitled #8 from (). They close with that song a lot.
Those strings are genius, like Wagner's Lohengrin
@dancecommander3582 Which the bandmembers themselves choose to call "hopelandic" :)
could also be Hafsol. The bassist uses a drumstick. Could be it as well.
If you don't find that to be beautiful there's a good chance you are dead.

ummm, no kidding. I'm fully aware that they are Icelandic. I'm just saying that it "sounds" like they are saying those words.

de hecho si hay algo mas hermoso; Amina tocando con Sigur Rós, jejeje.
The only Sigur Ros song that has English lyrics is "All Alright."
