Fun fact: The lyrics for most of his songs are actually the poems his father has written over time, translated into English for the music :) so underrated!
He may not yet have fully developed himself as a musician, but...there is true genius in him, in the way he understand sound itself and knows how to affect emotion. I hope he does more with his career because his talent is huge.
I usually make it a point to listen to a few songs of a new artist before I like them. I listened to the Mahogany Session of this, and only this (so far), and I already love his music. The lyrics were phenomenal, unlike anyother I've ever heard in my entire lifetime. I am not exaggerating. I cried when he hit his falsetto. My god. This man needs to live forever, he's a lifesaver.
The vocal melody at the start of the chorus almost makes it sound like it's being played backwards with the way it starts so high up. Really cool, I like it.
What's the use of reaching for your heart, 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 To 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 Out beyond your claim to freedom Field wide, I can meet you there I shut my eyes and all the world drops, I lift them and you are born again Out beyond your claim to freedom Field wide, I can meet you there I'm the man that stands behind you, Real calm while you prove yourself I will come back here at sunrise, A lover who waits all night
"Though my soul may set in darkness It will rise in light" A reference to Sarah Williams' "The Old Astronomer" "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night."
The woman in this video are so pretty it hurts! ÁSGEIR is easy on the eyes even for a guy. The Icelandic men are so pretty that there is no way they are even human...they come from a planet where they are created not born. They look like they are carved out beauty itself. Norwegian woman look like Icelanders...from another world? My mom is 80% Scandinavian. I would be embarrassed if he read what I am saying about him! But I stand by my truth...the truth. He is beauty inside and out.

Damnn
Wow!!! 🙌❤️
translated by John Grant
Is his father a musician too ?
@@ThatShitGood: He is a well known poet in Iceland, I believe.
Every time I hear Asgeir's song, I feel like I'm tipsy, a sense of floating. His songs have a otherworldly atmosphere.
Same!
ほんとこの曲いい…1番好き❤︎
声が神🤤👍🏻
子供の寝かしつけによく聞いてた！
あんたも私もいいセンスしてるわ 😊
Another amazing song. His lyrics "Out beyond your claim to freedom, a field wide I can meet you there" reminds of my favorite Rumi quote.
Kathy Benavides What is the quote?
Me, I'm a watercolor washing off into the deepest sea. - I don't know why this line gets me every time
気持ちがいい曲🙆
C'est une incroyable œuvre ! ..
D'ART .. 💙🙏
OMG,where has this guy been my whole life its epic
God making Icelandic people
+1000 musical talent
+100 frost resistance
+1000 poetry
This song got me so addicted, I can't stop listening to it. The video is absolute art!

This is so underrated. This is a wonderful song! Asgeir is a treasure!

What's the use of reaching for your heart, 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
To 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
Out beyond your claim to freedom
Field wide, I can meet you there
I shut my eyes and all the world drops,
I lift them and you are born again
Out beyond your claim to freedom
Field wide, I can meet you there
I'm the man that stands behind you,
Real calm while you prove yourself
I will come back here at sunrise,
A lover who waits all night
I kept seeing this song in my watch now and wow I don't regret clicking on it
i dont need to understand a single word this dude sings for this to be incredible
So freaking underrated !
I think I need to let this grow on me. I am too used to his previous works like Going Home
Alyson Henrique going home I will always love
Alyson Henrique I know what you mean, but trust me, you'll grow to LOVE this!
Wow. Discovered a little late but I’m in love. Beautiful track. Can’t wait to hear your other music ✨
Oh I love this song! thank you Asgeir!

Super cool!!! You're growing as artist, totally different vibe from your previously work but still your style and soul. Great work!!
Idk why but the first time I heard this song I bawled my eyes out . So beautiful

FUJI ROCK行けませんでした。遠い土地に住んでいるもので。
この曲とＰＶはとても大好きです。でも、この映像を見てフェミニストが激怒しないか心配です。
世界観はとても大好きです。
This song is just so beautiful! See you in Cologne!
We need every one of his songs with an icelandic version, no matter if we don't understand, it sounds so much sweeter and natural from him T-T
This is some quality jam on my Sunday drive sandwich.
I heard this on Nickelodeon such a long time ago, I’m so happy I finally found it!

I love it how they put American accent into a mute line of the Statue
That verses are not about a love story between two people. This is the story of God and you human. It is a mystic poeme :)

I liked it!
100 humans need new brains... This is awesome
I was the little boy. My name is Storm, and the man who said “roll’ em” is my granddad
It was filmed in denmark
Wow
I acc dont know if it was denmark, but it was very easy to get there from my gramps house
I cried when I remembered my childhood.
💛
been here since kings and cross way back 2013! Lets go Asgeirdians!!!! (is that our official fandom name?)
IT IS NOW
word.
The guy at 3:05 knows it's a masterpiece
Who is that dancer? She is so beautiful!
like from france
this song is so beautiful. although the video gives me nightmares.
So different, but I love it. (Icelandic version please 🙏)
Milena Jakovljević I don't think there is an icelandic version, he's gone full-on international by now.
I don't know why, but this song makes me think of how my parents' courtship might have happened
Weird parallels in both audio and visual to Jack Garratt's 'Breathe Life' both great though!
only just find this music on channel V on 2017
Yeahhhh. First time I heard this song on channel v way back 2017 and fan since then

Old Icelandic guys? That's pretty authentic 😂
