this made me cry so much when i first saw it. i could relate to the girl in the lost desolate land of her existence, dying for her fathers attention, but my daddy only seeing the bottom of the glass. i am broken, alone and childlike sometimes.. i recently became a mother and i want to learn from my fathers mistakes and show my daughter i love her everyday. i will do what my father could not- love everything.
Here is my interpretation of events: The father, ''the fraud'', lost the daughter, who is not alive in this video, he blames himself for it. Elle exists here in a spirit world of sorts, unable to move on. He feels empty, ''gutted'', they're both lost and alone in their worlds, he still sees her in his mind wherever he goes. he meanders around town trying in vain to crack through ''the spaces between places'' (between his world and the one ells is in).
(Part 2) Ultimately the only way across is for him to die as well. He struggles through the space. He moves into her world, she immediately recognizes that he has, screaming ''dad!'', the narrative becomes hers. She finds him, not dead but alive, in her world. He is reborn, cleansed of his sin and self loathing. They reconcile, they forgive, they move on, they love everything. together.
I can't believe I found this, I'd seen these pictures of Elle Fanning but to find they're from a video of one of my favourite bands. Weird and super cool.
This made me cry...the symbolism and imagery within this film is haunting and heartbreakingly beautiful. I totally broke down at 10:24, as the baby's hand is making the sign for "I Love You" in American Sign Language. Whether this was intentional or not, just a random shot of the baby's hand in motion, it truly touched me in a way that I can't fully describe. Thank you Sigur Ros, Floria Sigismondi, Elle Fanning, John Hawkes and everyone else involved in this project....thank you for sharing this incredible music and story/vision.
God trusted me with your life but I'm a fraud I'm afraid I'm afraid that the blood is ringing through the trees and the war is about to begin I'm sorry I've been guided I know I let you down Remember that this life is just an illusion If only I could move in and out of nonexistence to a space between places Space Space Space Space between places I'm not afraid I'm not afraid God Don't be afraid, Sara Love everything Love everything Love everything Fear only brings death to a soul I know that now
Español: Él: Dios me confió tu vida. Pero yo soy un fraude. Tengo temor. Tengo miedo de la sangre corriendo por los árboles y la guerra que está a punto de comenzar. Lo siento, he estado hecho polvo. Sé que te he decepcionado. Recuerda, que esta vida es una ilusión más. Si tan sólo pudiera entrar y salir de la no existencia en el espacio entre los lugares. Espacio. Ella: Espacio. Espacio. El espacio entre los lugares. No tengo miedo. No tengo miedo. Él: No tengas miedo Sarah. Ama todo. Ama... todo. Ambos: Ama todo. Ella: El miedo sólo trae muerte al alma. Él: Ahora lo sé.
Mystery film experiment. My personal interpretation: innocence lost. Yearned for. The death of innocent beauty drowned by addiction. Innocence is an angel. In our pain and suffering we are reborn, and our soul will find the solace of an angel...
One of the most visually stunning music videos I have ever seen. This video reminds me of a painting in motion and its ability to tap into certain emotions, that I wasn't even aware that I still had, it really should have more views, the world should see this video.
i can honestly say that made me cry. It brought out something in me . i dont know what it was yet i dont care because it took me to space... a space where love is everything.... i loved this so much
This is like going to church. So meaningful, powerful, and humanizing that touches the spirit of everyone who has lost their way, and wanted to seek comfort from someone.
Mike Grey If there would be a "Comment of the year" cometition I would vote for you....Srsly right now your comment made more sense than anything I ever thought before! Thank you very much :3
if your need an explanation then your missing the point. when it comes to Sigur Ros it's different for everyone, everyone feels something different when they listen to one of there songs. what i feel when i see and hear this will be completely different to what you feel. the idea is to not be afraid to feel and to lose yourself in the music, close your eyes and let yourself be free to feel and free to exist and experience this incredible music. its been said Sigur Ros is a Voice for your Soul!
06/02/2020 12:21 a.m. Lo he buscado para verlo... No sé realmente cuantas veces lo he visto desde que lo encontré por alguna casualidad hace un buen par de años en Vimeo, pero desde la última vez que decidí verlo también pasó mucho tiempo y quizá sin ningún motivo tenía que decirles que estoy aquí de nuevo con lágrimas en los ojos, una vez más tratando decifrar el por qué me conmueve tanto.
I can't imagine how much turmoil the heart of a girl goes through when a father was never around. The ending is so beautiful though. She manages to be a mother to a son. The absence of a father is so fundamental to a little girls life. There is so much a little girl misses in that whole process. But what she learns from life is that even the most horrifying things and the most upsetting are mere stepping stones. They will build her up to be exactly what she has always wanted to be. A parent.
“Leaning Towards Solace,” which is soundtracked by album tracks “Dauðalogn” and “Varúð,” focuses on a young ballerina (Fanning) and her depressed father (Hawkes) living in a rural desert town. The ending is beautiful, if baffling, and will definitely get you thinking." -ATG
Does anybody remember the first time they heard a Sigur Ros song? I remember I heard this amazing and haunting song in a Price of Persia trailer. I googled it and it turned out to be Saeglopur. I spent 3 hours listening to it over and over again. I didn't even notice my window had been open the whole time. It was winter. Thank you Sigur Ros for making life slow down enough so that I can enjoy it. Thank you !
currently seeing my father sick is hurting super bad and I haven't known how I even feel about it I knew there was sadness there and some anger but this video is clarifying so much...
it touched a nerve in me that had been buried for years. i really do believe this has alot to do with complicated relationship between an absent father and a desperage
Llevo tanto tiempo escuchando está canción y lo único que pienso es lo bonita que és y en todas esas veces que habré sentido miles de emociones diferentes. Gracias por sacar canciones tan bellas como está❤️
Great video! I've been a fan since '97 when I heard them on a late night radio station originating in Ontario, Canada. I had to order the first 2 of their CDs from Iceland because they weren't available in the USA in any catalog at that time. I called the radio station in Canada and got a telephone number to order an Icelandic catalog via snail mail. Cost me a small fortune for VON & VON Brigoi direct but it was worth every penny. In '99 I was able to buy Agætis byrjun retail. Unique band!
i adore their music, i adore the climate of their videos, i adore their art, i adore that the girl reminds me of bjork, i adore eyes at 8:30, i adore that story. I ADORE.
Exceptional. I can't quite get my thoughts together. This just moved me so profoundly and also on a more immediate, personal level, given my failed relationships and my daughter's name being Sara. Sigur Ros: your art is......
esta banda la escucho y sigo varios años, estas canciones son devastadoramente bellas y de esperanza. Es comunicación con sucesos que están asociados a tu vida, llegan a ser canciones épicas de aquellas que acompañan a pesar de todo,y están también aquellas canciones que te salvaron tu vida. Gracias por regalar y compartir este video, saludos desde Chile musical
This is an amazing accomplishment by Sigur Ros and both actors! A Masterpiece! "He: Don’t be afraid, Sara. Love everything. Love…everything. Both: Love everything."
Elle Fanning fue para mi infancia algo místico que escapaba de la realidad. Era un hada que con tan solo verla podría perdeme en la ficción. Creaba cuentos e historias en mi mente con ella como protagonista. Por siempre será mi primer amor.

:)
Love everything.
I also was touched a lot when I saw the video. It inspired me too, to be a good father.
Here is my interpretation of events:
The father, ''the fraud'', lost the daughter, who is not alive in this video, he blames himself for it. Elle exists here in a spirit world of sorts, unable to move on. He feels empty, ''gutted'', they're both lost and alone in their worlds, he still sees her in his mind wherever he goes. he meanders around town trying in vain to crack through ''the spaces between places'' (between his world and the one ells is in).
It's really interesting. The "spaces between places" gets me every time I Iisten to this.
still remains to be one of the most stunning things i have seen in my life
And it still does
And don't forget "heard" as well as seen.
(Part 2)
Ultimately the only way across is for him to die as well. He struggles through the space. He moves into her world, she immediately recognizes that he has, screaming ''dad!'', the narrative becomes hers. She finds him, not dead but alive, in her world. He is reborn, cleansed of his sin and self loathing. They reconcile, they forgive, they move on, they love everything. together.
I can't believe I found this, I'd seen these pictures of Elle Fanning but to find they're from a video of one of my favourite bands. Weird and super cool.
To think that such beautiful music and imagery can be created in this day and age gives us all some hope..
Agreed
Hope for what, specifically?

God trusted me with your life but I'm a fraud
I'm afraid
I'm afraid that the blood is ringing through the trees and the war is about to begin
I'm sorry I've been guided
I know I let you down
Remember that this life is just an illusion
If only I could move in and out of nonexistence to a space between places
Space
Space
Space
Space between places
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
God
Don't be afraid, Sara
Love everything
Love everything
Love everything
Fear only brings death to a soul
I know that now
Not guided, gutted

Cass Leaf that was a beautiful analyzation.
Wow. Yes I totally see that. And relate sadly. Such a powerful piece
One of the most visually stunning music videos I have ever seen. This video reminds me of a painting in motion and its ability to tap into certain emotions, that I wasn't even aware that I still had, it really should have more views, the world should see this video.
This was my best friends favorite band. He died before this album came out. I'm sure he's jamming it in the ether right now.
Sigur Ros+Floria Sigismondi+Elle Fanning+ John Hawkes = 👌👍👏
Elle is such a great actress
Goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Thanks for this emotional and epic music performance.
This life.... is just an illusion. Space between places.....
I don't care... wasn't talkin' to you....
Love Everything, we all are love..fear is death to the soul.
John Hawkes ! very underrated actor
i can honestly say that made me cry. It brought out something in me . i dont know what it was yet i dont care because it took me to space... a space where love is everything.... i loved this so much
This is like going to church. So meaningful, powerful, and humanizing that touches the spirit of everyone who has lost their way, and wanted to seek comfort from someone.
3:53 gives me life seriously!!
Mike Grey If there would be a "Comment of the year" cometition I would vote for you....Srsly right now your comment made more sense than anything I ever thought before! Thank you very much :3
I have watched this so many times...but closing my eyes and just listening...I cried
God, i am in love with stuff like this that tskes rral talent. Literally this had me tear up. This is pure art i can't even put into words.
"...Love everything...Love everything...Love everything. Fear only brings death to the soul. I know that now."
Words to live by.
still elle fanning's best work. i love this so much
Still one of my all-time favorites, slays me every time
Good song, good video...All Time Fav...no no no...not that good
What are your other all time fav songs?
i'd really like to share music with the ones who share my taste in music
if your need an explanation then your missing the point. when it comes to Sigur Ros it's different for everyone, everyone feels something different when they listen to one of there songs. what i feel when i see and hear this will be completely different to what you feel. the idea is to not be afraid to feel and to lose yourself in the music, close your eyes and let yourself be free to feel and free to exist and experience this incredible music. its been said Sigur Ros is a Voice for your Soul!
Varùd makes me cry every time I hear it. I picture myself in my happiest memory but unable to talk to or touch my loved ones.

Porque eres sensible -depresivo- y tu edad no ayuda mucho :v

this video is more like a short movie. and IT'S STUNNING! The music, the dialogs, the scenes, from the start to the end, 12 minutes of masterpiece!
Good god, I just cried so hard. So beautiful.
That ending is devastatingly beautiful.
I can feel the tears rolling down my cheeks right now.
This is truly beautiful ♥
fear only brings death to the soul
Without fear, there would be no courage or bravery.
I admittedly found this contrived initially, but was weeping furiously by the end.
Старая песня, но под неё всё ещё приятно поплакать.
Ros - такой, он заставит плакать.
This masterpiece is literally the best thing that I have ever seen it’s just so pure and beautiful
Great short film, in so few words. Great cinematography. Some Tree of Life vibes.
The voices add to the effect man😭😭
Still just as painfully beautiful as the first time I saw/heard this.
And to think music videos such as Anaconda exist. This is damn amazing.

How can i stop. I never stop. I will always listen and be a big fan of Sigur Ros. They changed my life. Love them.
she doesn't have to speak to know her feeling, i love seeing that in actors
Beautiful..
That's is all
Beautiful..

Thank you Sigur Ros for making life slow down enough so that I can enjoy it. Thank you !
Yes. There is a video. "We are virginia tech" with Nikki Giovanni, Sigur ros is in the background. I cry every time.
other fashionable musical genres are only to dance the body, this one is to make your soul dance
Gets me every time.
This is an amazing piece of art and Elle is so beautiful.
Sigur Rós is perfect. Elle is perfect.
is perfection really that good? think of it.
Define perfect
John hawks is perfect
currently seeing my father sick is hurting super bad and I haven't known how I even feel about it I knew there was sadness there and some anger but this video is clarifying so much...
Magistralmente intenso! Absolutamente lindo!
it touched a nerve in me that had been buried for years. i really do believe this has alot to do with complicated relationship between an absent father and a desperage
Llevo tanto tiempo escuchando está canción y lo único que pienso es lo bonita que és y en todas esas veces que habré sentido miles de emociones diferentes. Gracias por sacar canciones tan bellas como está❤️
Beautiful and touching
I do love mankind for doing such beautiful things. Thanks for sharing. For me the best piece on Valtari Experiment DVD.
A thousand stories, including mine, told in 12 minutes to the most beautiful and haunting music. Simply A M A Z I N G ! Thank you!
Hawkes´s faces is magic... he don't need to speak.
this was truly amazing. the songs, the story, the video, it all just melted as one.
Going through COVID confinement with the best music I know... EverythingsGonnaBeOK
This is Sigur Ros...please don’t post Troll-Like garbage here..save it for your average, run of the mill Artists
This video/music is so heartbreaking..
Great video! I've been a fan since '97 when I heard them on a late night radio station originating in Ontario, Canada.

In '99 I was able to buy Agætis byrjun retail. Unique band!
Sigur Rós is AMAZING, such a different sound...
My favourite Sigur rós song + video
The best thing I've ever seen.
Great Film 💫,Music,Elle🌹,Sigur Ros.I kept the CD jealously.
It's wonderful!. It's so artistic :)
i adore their music, i adore the climate of their videos, i adore their art, i adore that the girl reminds me of bjork, i adore eyes at 8:30, i adore that story. I ADORE.
I love the song Dauðalogn! It's just so beautiful.
I love so much Sigur Rós, it makes me cries out of happiness
Exceptional. I can't quite get my thoughts together. This just moved me so profoundly and also on a more immediate, personal level, given my failed relationships and my daughter's name being Sara. Sigur Ros: your art is......
love everything
Lovely. So lovely
wow!!!
God this is gorgeous. So detailed. Every moment counts.
Elle was great!
It’s 2020 and we are still here!🖤
