Last month I was in Thailand and got the urge to listen to this song. Everybody I was with was asleep, so I went outside the bungalow and lay down in a chair on the deck. It was nearly 100% humidity and 85f degrees despite being nearly 1 in the morning. The white, coral-sand beach was in front of me; lit up by moonlight diffusing through the humidity. I put this song on my iPod and listened quietly. 8500 miles from home; even if there was somebody around, I would have been speechless.
It’s 40 minutes away from being 2020, I am alone in the dark listening to this in my room and looking out at the sky. I don’t know where I’m headed, all I know is life isn’t what it seems and feelings are temporary. Playing this on repeat until the new year strikes... god bless everyone in this comment section
Everytime i listen to Sigur Ros i get goose bumps and teary-eyed. I first heard them in Norway, it used to be snowy, dark, misty. Brings back some lovely wonderful memories of the days i spent in Oslo. Music is a powerful thing.
Sitting outside late at night at my house, which is next to a National Park. I'm at the opposite end of the world to Iceland, the Southern Cross is shining brightly above me. But this music has universal beauty. I once listened to Staralfur whilst watching the Southern Lights on a beach in Tasmania whilst half drunk (who am I kidding, fully drunk) after a wedding. Sigur Rós is sublime.
This band's music is healing indeed. Stirs me very deeply on an emotional and spiritual level. A very underrated and important group of artists for this generation. Never heard anything like them.
I had no "post-rock" experience until I heard this song. I was completely numbed with beauty. Still get that feeling...Iceland is beautiful too, love the night skies there.
I think the underlying feeling that permeates almost all Sigur Ros' songs and make them special and unique is hope, a metaphysical hope, that relieves the soul from the burdens of the physical life by rising back into purity, for a while.
If the universe could listen to us, in one oportunity, and ask to us what we want to say, i choose a song of sigur ros next to an unique word: thanks. Wich song to choose is the hard part. May be Ekki Mukk
people who comment on the "dislikes" of a video usually irritate me, but in this case, what could you possibly find objectionable about this? you probably don't search for Sigur Ros if you don't like them, this is one of their most beautiful songs, and it's accompanied by exceptionally beautiful scenery. i see no fault.
I need to thank a good friend of mine so kind enough to share his wonderful song with me. With it, I can feel relaxed and feel like every bit of pain in my life is melted away! Hats off to you mate! You know who you are!
my first listen of this album was euphoric. My second listen transcended the first. I'm waiting for a very special moment to listen to it in full again.
múm, Amiina, Olaf Arnalds, Olafur Arnalds, KUKL, The Sugarcubes, Rokkurro, Ruxpin (if you like Acid House/Downtempo), Bjork, Kira Kira, Jónsi (singer/guitarist in Sigur Rós - his solo work is great), Emiliana Torrini, Sindri Eldon, Ghostigital, Sin Fang, Slowblow, Stafrænn Hákon. That's all I know if you're looking for more Icelandic stuff.
There are a few artists that sing in a language of their own, so the meaning of the words don't detract from the beauty of the song. Check out Vas and Dead can Dance (specifically Lisa Gerrard). Some music to rival even these folks!
pues yo solia escuchar esta cancion cuando estaba solo y mi mente se hacia la misma pregunta: ¿es mujer u hombre quien canta? antes de saber la verdad, me encontre con que no importaba el sexo del vocal, y aunque lo supe despues, ya no me importo. la belleza en si misma, en esta cancion, sobrepasa cualquier frontera; musical, de genero, de banderas, de idiomas. es belleza sin catalogo, simple y completa, accesible y libre, sin pretension, solo belleza pura, no es arte, es humanidad.
If any of you have the chance to see "Heima" about Sigur Ros (in Iceland). It's phenomenal. It used to be on Netflix, but I'm not sure why it's no longer there. Just amazing.
Sali un 22 de diciembre muy temprano agarre mi mochila y decidi subir una montaña camine mas de 12 horas hasta yegar ala cima ya atardeciendo vi como bajaba el sol decidi poner esta cancion a mas de 4mil metros de altura no saben que senti en ese momento cierren los ojos y acuerdense de lo mas hermoso que les aya pasado vi amos abuelos de nuevo vivos por un instante😢
Those were times I will never forget! when I downloaded it! of this same music! through the heroic (Pirate Bay) at the time! I've never heard anything like it! with a melody and minimalism! of purity! that captivated me right away! and I went to buy the CD Ágætis Byrjun! and it was something special! when I first heard it! imagine if from the last century! was launched to the market in 1999! then it was repeat repeat repeat all album! and for me if they gave me to choose three records that I took to an island! :) with the old one! Portable CD and headphones! small! I would choose Ágætis byrjun, Miles Davis- "Kind of Blue" - Radiohead "Ok Computer" :) then I would come back and take more albums of course! Beautiful times to travel! with Sigur Rós! PEACE!
i find this 10 years later after it was uploaded and i feel a little sad because i missed out on this but at the same time i'm incredibly happy that all my life up till now led me to this :)) i don't understand a word in the song but it's so beautiful i can't stop myself from crying...
On my playlist, I have several songs that I absolutely adore. Amoung these are several by Sigor Ros right in a row. Today I put my playlist on autoplay. After hearing all of the Sigor Ros songs, my playlist turned to a song by another band. Is it just me, or does all other music seem somehow shallow in comparison to the poetry of Sigor Ros?

And to everyone's surprise, 2020 was one of the worst years, global covid pandemic.

@@terminalTurntech17 im glad to hear that man
When I die, I'll meet you in Iceland, my son and we can listen to Sigur Ros together in the mountains 💕

This band is too pure for this world. For real, how could a band be THIS good?
cuz they are pure
I'm the Polish man working in Norway listening band from Iceland "Sigur Ros" ....This band have very special place in my heart.
when i listen to sigur ros i like to imagine it isnt a language, but just pure sounds of his singing soul.
I miss u iceland... I will always love u... and I hope to come back there one day... I want to live there the rest of my life...
This is the purest music ever.

This song is proof that music heals. Beautiful and uplifting.....
I wish I could be both asleep and awake and listen to this song forever!

One of those moments when the universe stops and says "hey check this out"
and you remember it your whole life.
Lol . Right ?
Ágætis býrjun: a good beginning. ❤️❤️❤️
It's strange, listening to this song makes everything ok.
You are so right :)
Aneta Orl Even in my dreams, I'm an idiot who knows he's about to wake up to reality.
dl1036 But in this moment, when you are listening to this song, reality does not exist... just your dreams and fanatasy :)

I couldn't agree more! Their music is inspiring and captures the true purest meaning of love.
Beautiful sensation for the ears and for the soul and for the spirit, It Is a total pleasure.
I have no words to expres how beautyful is this video and song togehter - thank you very much!
The kind of song that could calm you down after 5 cups of coffee.
Clicked on this while halfway through my first cup of coffee of the day. Your comment was the highlighted one. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Lol
Oh so much beauty coming out of jonsi’s voice i love sigur ros
I honestly have never hear another Icelandic band... but Sigur Ros is my all time favorite band from anywhere.
Sigur Rós is the best band ever.
try Bon Iver, bon iver's musics seems like this too
Randy Ismail Vernon is good, but Jónsi is the better vocalist
Thot Police yeah
@@josephboyat-bt1jf couldn't agree more!
This must be one of my favorite songs from this band. It just feels so warm and welcoming, like home.
my first listen of this album was euphoric. My second listen transcended the first. I'm waiting for a very special moment to listen to it in full again.

...Kaleo, Of monsters and men, Audur, Þursaflokkurinn, Mezzoforte, Svavar Knutur, Asgeir Trausti
We work all day long, all yeas long to make money, but the most beautiful things in a lfie is for free. This song and video remind me.
Oh God. This is so beautiful, makes me wanna cry.
This song makes me feel like crying still I love listening to it. Some songs just do this to you!
Amo essa música, efeito calmante instantâneo.
My favorite band...EVER.
This song used to bring tears to my eyes and now.......it still brings tears to my eyes! I don't even understand the lyrics!!!
You understand raw emotion, thats what it is. And thats what the music is. :)

I can’t get over how beautiful this song is. The video certainly adds to it.
What a beautiful composition and such beautiful scenes that were chosen for this. Thanks for sharing this.
So in love with this song. Its makes me feel so calm n peace.
The song that has always been warming my heart. I really love this.

Michael Drudzinski It is on RUclips, I think.
It's just you. Every song is special in it's own way, it's just that Sigur Ros' songs are unique in terms of music genre.
La canción acorde a estos paisajes espectaculares. Todo un deleite.
I feel so good listening to this song. It makes me want to travel and leave the noises of the big cities.
Great imagery too :)
J'adore! Sigur Rors
This song made me think of God and how beautiful the world is
Proud to be named Sigur (Sigurd) :)!

not a believer....but jesus that's beautiful.
I just learned today how to make the song auto-repeat: click on settings; left-click on speed; choose "Loop" ...
Sensitive & avantgarde, strong like Icelandic winter wind in the rock mountains. 💭💡🎨🎶
