i have lived a very difficult life & have had alot of tragedy & anger in it , music like the kind that sigur ros makes gives me hope & inspiration to go on & wear a smile on my face & to be able to love & cherish all that i do have . thank you , thank you so much from canada !!!
It makes you stop and you look into yourself and if you ever really loved it would break your heart with longing and sadness from the moment you realize how much she had lost. You get crushed by a wave of fear of this moment you are about to lose everything you love. But then it washes you up on a deserted beach and the sun rises and you will again hope and love, and you realize you never will be alone because you loved ... Thank you that you have given me this video and this song ^ ^
This video was made for the Sigur Ros contest back in the fall of 2007 and we were supplied with various footage from Sigur Ros that could be used in our videos.
Once again, Sigur Ros baffles me with this song. I can't get my head around how impossibly beautiful their music is. What do those guys smoke to come up with such beauty?!
I have loved sigur ros for years and years! constantly listening to their music but somehow I never listened or watched this video before, and suddenly now it appears, just in the perfect time, making all my emotions coming along... This video is not far from what we feel when we lose someone we love! I lost my boyfriend some days ago, that's why I understand this girl feelings, even if she's not crying I know the pain is inside, it's difficult to explain, totally new sensations and feelings... sometimes I'm still thinking he is coming back home again, then I realize it'll not happen never again... It's hard to accept but I guess this is part of the process. Thank you for this amazing video. Much Love 💞)
Same happned to me. But with the song Illgresi. The song is REALLY beautiful but I had never heard it. I've known Sigur Rós since 2010, which I know isn't a long time since they have existed since the 90s but since 2010 I've been hearing them every day and I had never heard Illgresi until yesterday, they always surprise me.
WallyWest I'm sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing your experience with me, yes that one is another amazing song, to difficult for me don't to like their songs 😊 I really hope you are feeling good and your life goes well 💙 big hug from Sydney!!
@QtNerd absolutely hands down...I heard this song for the first time 2 years ago on the plane coming home.This album was part of the music for the inflight entertainment...It takes me somewhere.It does something to me...I get very upset...Crying comes over me without a direct source...The most powerfull song in the world
Beautiful! :D Made me think of Tolle's quote: "Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal."
if life was perfect then art would had no reason to exist. because of imperfection we have the chance of proyect what we cannot experience directly. some of their songs are above reality. well phrased.
What an amazing band Sigur Ros is! Each song I've listened so far I simply love. Watching this video I started to cry. But somehow the music transformed the emotions from feeling sad to feeling good. Brilliant music, great actors in the video, I love the whole package.
I believe that there is a part in all of us that inheritantly reaches out beyond the physical realm, desires an reuniting with our those whom are seperate, and awaits the ressurection.
We are always living under some delusion, and instead of taking things as they are, and making the best of them, we follow an ignis fatuus, and lose, in its pursuit, the joy we might attain. James Ellis
Very very beautiful! I love how much work you put into this and it teally paid off! It's absolutely magnificent, it really carries out the message. And the girl is very beautiful too!
everyone probably knows this but I didn't...that Salka is Georg's step-daughter. Somehow knowing that changes the song a bit in my mind, and instead of the music seeming melancholy, now there seems a gentle, sweet innocence within this song...
It wasn't meant to be "no hope". The sadness was upfront, but once the young girl reconnected with her love, (the colored white mass) it was pure joy! Look at her face when the white mass engulfs her face on the ridge..pure joy). We never lose the ones we love, just look at the stars, that life energy is always present. I hope you will find it beautifully hopeful, and not beautifully depressing.
Yes we all have our opinions. I am always amazed when something that is created for the beauty of the music, with no professional support, no money, but heart, is dismissed. We did not make this video for monetary returns, we made it to express our thoughts. This is not an actress, she is human like you and me and had the guts to be in front of the camera. But thank you anyway.
you are very creative :0) I like your video and it has great emotion. Keep doing your best and you will make a mark in the world. You have great vision and wise beyond compare :0)
They have performed this song live in 2002 and 2003 (Salka is an older song that was played in concert) but till 2007 not released on a cd. I have not heard of a live version that has been recorded. They have their old set lists posted on their web site too.
That is not what I have heard from musicians that have been to Iceland. Not sure why you made the comment either. Sigur Ros is a treasure. Iceland is proud to call them one of her own.
@ebitmebit So sorry for your loss. This video was made to help me cope with a similar loss. Strange how the ones we love live on in us in ways we never expected. In the days, weeks, years to come you will discover that she is still all around. Peace to you.
listening to sigur Ross and watching their videos is the most compelling thing for me to believe in God again
i have lived a very difficult life & have had alot of tragedy & anger in it , music like the kind that sigur ros makes gives me hope & inspiration to go on & wear a smile on my face & to be able to love & cherish all that i do have .
thank you , thank you so much from canada !!!
I'm glad to see that there are still good people in this world.
Beautiful song. Only the ones who have lost loved ones before time know what lies deep in this melody. Come tears and wash our souls.
This is my song of all time. No song can take over for what feelings this song + movie gives me.
I shiver.. with goosebumps all over.. This is beyond crying.. this is a glimpse og heaven if there ever was one..
Como siempre, encanta Sigur Ros.
The words don't matter. The language is universal, it says what ever you believe or feel it to say. That is the beauty of siqur Ros music.
EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED ,MUSIC IS THE GREAT TRANCEIVER,,strait from the heart !!!!!!! OOOOOHM IS WHERE THE ART IS !!!!
Pure Sigur Ròs style. Thank you guys for this awesome song.
Pure Love, Pure Love song...
"Come tears and wash our soul"...wow that is poetic, pure beauty!
It makes you stop and you look into yourself and if you ever really loved it would break your heart with longing and sadness from the moment you realize how much she had lost.
You get crushed by a wave of fear of this moment you are about to lose everything you love.

Thank you that you have given me this video and this song ^ ^
I went there once, and it most sertanty is abselutley a beutiful country
This song reminds me of a friend who passed away recently. Makes me cry every time.
when you read a book, you're not concentrated enough to the music. So there's nothing better than listening to sigur ros sit on a sofa... :)

What a beautiful, reflective comment. Thank you. Yes, I agree, Sigur Ros is greater than reality.
Almost a quarter of a million hits and so well deserved!
Beautiful sentiment. We are the sum of all that we have loved and continue to love.
I cried like a baby nearly the whole video.
Great Video.. Great History HighVibration! WE ALL LOVE SIGUR ROS
how precious!
I believe that there is a part in all of us that inheritantly reaches out beyond the physical realm, desires an reuniting with our those whom are seperate, and awaits the ressurection.
What a fantastic video. This video will immortalize the memory of your lost loved one. Absolutely wonderful :)
So completely agreed. They are amazing...
this song feels like being wrapped in the warmth of the sun
I am truly sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine the depth of your pain. Music helps us heal in magical ways. Take care.
wow that made me cry like a baby, nice song

this is beautiful
I started out lukewarm with this video, but I must say, I am deeply moved.
Painfully beautiful.
the music just adds further magic to the story...well done!

I love the part when you are actually together because you are not acting and it looks so deep.
oh...thanks a lot :)
thank you so much!!

I love the OK Computer poster at the beginning.

This video is so positive, well done. Music is Love !
What a beautiful name!
The deeper the love, the greater the loss, the deeper the pain
Life
Very very beautiful! I love how much work you put into this and it teally paid off! It's absolutely magnificent, it really carries out the message. And the girl is very beautiful too!
haha That's the spirit of all good RUclips videos.

this song always makes me cry...
awesome song.....powerful....wordless

Espectacular song
I checked your music out..Beautiful! I encourage others to listen to your music too!
Nice.
Yes! at the OK Computer poster in the girl's room at the beginning... cool song.
mmoody..thank you, it is a love story.
This actually made me cry...
their music makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. i think all great art has a similar effect.
Very moving video to match their music (though I do not agree with the theology presented), yet, very well done & congrats.
esta buenooooooo los de la bandaaa
If God were music he would be Sigur Ros' music...
I do hope it was a happy hopeful cry. Our loved ones never leave us.
Amazing song and fantastic video =)
just like heaven...is really beautiful =
Muy bella cancion !

I got this song from my Sigur Ros Hvarf-Heim cd. I checked itunes version of this cd, it is the same as mine.
Heh, sorry for the random thought burst, its a wonderful and very moving video, perfect use for that song :)
so soothing
@ebitmebit So sorry for your loss. This video was made to help me cope with a similar loss. Strange how the ones we love live on in us in ways we never expected. In the days, weeks, years to come you will discover that she is still all around. Peace to you.
