Every single one of you here listening to Olafurs music. I love you so much. I’ve been searching for you all for so long. No one in my life cares to hear this music. I don’t understand it. Listening to Olafur is like a great cleansing. It impacts me in a way I’ll never be able to describe well enough. I love you all. You are a very special type of human. A rare kind. And you deserve love and happiness. My favorite Olafur song is “happiness does not wait” I want it played when I die. If you are a newer fan you should listen to it.
And I thought everyone loves Olafur's music...
Take care of yourself
I am with you, we are not alone ❤
you are not alone :)
Hello Mamma. I'm glad to see we have the same favorite song. I have tickets for one of his show at the end of May '22 and I know it will be a musical feast. This song leaded me to others from Olafur alone and also with his collaboration with Nils Fram. Just love that kind of music... I love you too!
"Beautiful thing don't ask for attention" this phrase really remind me of Olafur's music.
Sean Penn...
I've been in such a dark place lately, my whole life and dreams of which I was building with the person I loved had been shattered to absolute pieces, after everything came to a halt and we separated, and eventually I plunged into depression. Right now I'm going through such a stressful time with finals at medical school, and between therapy and antidepressants, friends and family support, and the best of my abilities, I'm trying to get myself together through this. It isn't easy, and I've learnt to never judge people for what they're going through and to be kinder with everyone on their own journeys. I'm trying my absolute best to grasp any form of light through this maze that I'm in, I'm trying to see a different reality or to get excited about different sorts of things on my own, however, it really is hard. This piece has been such a solace for me during these times and I'm absolutely grateful for such a delicacy. I can't and won't be able to control anything other than myself. This is a humbling lesson that life gave me as of late.
oh my...sending you healing energy. We need you so very much on this planet.
You`re not alone! Just close your eyes and see us lights who have been in the same place like you. We`re here, you are going to be okay and maybe one day you are a light that will help another soul to survive. You got this.
@@Sunsdrops pretty lovely words! Take care of you and your loved ones!✌🏻
I hope you see some beautiful sunrises and some peace come your way
It will get better my friend. Keep fighting like hell. Don't give up. It will get way better for you.
This album reminds me that I'm still alive and that I can still feel something
Somehow, his music always tends to do that for me as well since 2013.
I've been listening to him for years now; his music has had a huge impact on me of seeing the world so different .
My sister passed away today, I loved her very much she was my little sister. This has brought me some peace. My heart breaks and this is soothing. Thank you.
I’m a little late but I wish you all the best and I hope u are healing. Much love.
@@psionsm8045 Thank you, much love.
I know how how you must feel. My dad passed away lately. The loss won´t go away but the pain will someday. Feel my love.
@@annabanana8957 Sending love back to you oxox TY
I'm sorry for your loss may she rest in peace and love
I went to his concert in Brooklyn last month and he talked about how he released “some kind of peace” despite not being able to perform it anywhere in front of an audience because of the pandemic. This was just his second concert in almost three years and he said “The way we get to know our music is by playing it for you.” I’m so glad I got to be a part of that.
Loneliness, calmness, sadness, happiness.
Those socks look extremely comfy. God bless the creature that made them and the creature that wears them.
I cried listening to this music, it exactly paints this undescribable beauty of Iceland. I called it home for the last 4 years, moved out in june. The longer i am away the more it rips my heart apart. I left the biggest part of me behind...
Why did you move out?
Love and prayers to you for your continued journey.
@@geriburrito the economy in Iceland is 70% tourism and with Covid19 it came to a total stop. Many people lost their jobs including my girlfriend. We decided to move out to be closer to our families again but being close to them now just made me realise how much my heart and soul got attached to this small island in the middle of the northern atlantic. Icelands landscape and unique location is so soothing and realising that you are on a volcanic island wiht over 30 active volcanos makes you feel soooo alive and appreciative of life and nature itself. It´s simply breathtaking...
I cry every time I listen to it too. It reaches somewhere deep inside. It reminds me that we are not alone in these feelings. Such bitter sweet beauty
@@markusfuerst1909 I hope you can go back to Iceland someday :)
Amid everything happening over the world, your album literally gave us “some kind of peace” we are forever grateful for your art ..
Found his album days before it was released and was externally grateful for it..

I’ve been listening to him for years now and his music has helped me through so much. I often feel angry that no one in my life knows who he is. I have sent them his music and everything and it just doesn’t move them like it moves me. I’ll know I’ve found my soulmate the day I meet someone in real life who is as passionate about his music as I am. Most underrated artist in our time in my opinion.
Maybe if the world listened more to his music the world would chill Out.
@@mammadeuces6242 i hope that the world will listen to this music and will not make wars and bad things to the people of this planet. Its enough with wars and laboratory diseases as like Covid and other stuff which waits us in the future
To carry Spirit Light
into the World's dark Winter night,
This is my heart's glad striving,
that gleaming seeds of Soul
may grow within the World's foundations,
& in the darkness of the senses,
Word Divine resounds,
transfiguring all Life!
🕯
- Rudolf Steiner
Beautiful, words. Thank you. Sparkle✨💖
So beautiful!!!
Perfect, thank you
0:00 - Spiral
4:21 - Still/Sound
8:34 - Back to the Sky
12:11 - We Contain Multitudes
waiting for the 2023 calendar so i can plan my trip to reykjavik
I feel like the camera man was also a “musician” in this piece.
Agreed
I read your comment at the last song and felt more like she was a train haha
He did a pretty good job showing all musicians playing from each angle :D
If the camera.man is near volcano shooting it he is a volcano too
The camera is on a track
spiral is my favorite piece on his latest album
Likewise!
Same!
Couldn't agree more spiral is a beautiful piece
How long you have slept
How long you have dreamt
in the veils of pure starlight
What dreams have you wrought
in the forges of the night?
Drops of silver moon on a restless sea.
Elsewhere a majestic silence
neath flickers of aeons past.
Floating on waves in time
I have memories looping in my thoughts
Gathering stardust.
Neurons to nowhere
Everything beautiful, is... far away.
Is this poem yours? It's beautiful..
@@LovEaNdmusicA Felt inspired after enjoying this, especially after this version of Back to the Sky at 8:30. Thanks for the kind words. :)
@@francoisfourie3085 Very inspiring and soulful.. Bravo! Please share with us if you're using some sort of media with other creations.
Que de beaux mots pour une rêverie musicale. Merci
C'est très beau...
this version 'Back to the sky' with JFDR
without drums is even more beautiful for me than in the album
I hope one day I to will find so emotional musicians to make such moving music with...
I love Icelandic songs so much! They are so beautiful!
Thankyou all so much for reminding me what the phrase "achingly beautiful" means. ❤
So the camera is running on the rail around the musicians. ^ ^ So clever. Nice video!
Thank you.
Over the moon
Under the stars
Feel them arresting me
Unknowables
Fading at dawn
Troubles, too
Dimness sustains
Oh the regret
I could be lost to you
Lost in thought
Sending a kiss
Back to the sky
So has my world become
Run out of breath
I'm not the only one to lose a friend
Where do you go
You're going home
What do I do with the
Void in your shape
Leaving me frailty
A drop and I break
What do I do
With half of myself
Then when the stars align
With some kind of peace
I could be loved by you
Either way
Where did you go
You're going home
Then when the stars align
With some kind of peace
I know I'm loved by you
Either way
Where did you go
You're going home
Then when the stars align
With some kind of peace
I know I'm loved by you
Either way
Where did you go
You're going home
You're going home
I am home..
💗💓💗
I just played this to my 6 year old son. So calming, centering, uplifting and beautiful. It was also an opportunity to explain winter solstice and the characteristic of being north of 60 on the shortest day, longest night of the year. Brings me back to my hometown in the Northwest Territories.
Thank you, Ólafur, for making this Monday way easier to go through.
And every single day
Getting Birdy 'Let It All Go' vibes at the end...
It must've been a super short day. We were in Iceland in January and we had maybe 4-5 hours of daylight. It was really cool to watch the Sun rise and set in the middle of nowhere.
Incredible in every way - the music, the space, the light, the filming. I really enjoyed this, and will return to it often.
Incredible, indeed. ✨
Listening again this December, one year later. Music brings peace & sanity for a mad, mad world.
Hang on, for here is the moment you realize that everything only - truly has the value You give it! Here & now, your worries are finally gone & everything is okay, it's okay...it is... okay ❤🙏
A little moment of life is in those notes.
Like the circular motion of the camera, I find myself often returning to this sublime performance
Today is Winter Solstice too. Two years later on the day. Thank you for your recording.
How in the world is something like this mixed so clean, what about mike bleed? what about pop filters? what about proximity effect? my mind is melting here. Seriously beutiful job on every level.
Did not even realised i have been listening to your music so passionately lately
We are waiting for the film so bad,
Mister Olafur you are the best ever
Impressive title "when we are born" 😍 .. some kind of mind-orgasm
Thank you very much.
Which film?
@@a.a.1744 "when we are born"
Countless sunrises have started with Olafur's music and hot cup of coffee. Blessings.
I really hope there's going to be a "sunset session" on the longest day of the year :)
Everything happens in good time. 🦋
No words to describe this well. More than perfect!
Love the synchronicity❤
this is pure eternity! love!
Ólafur Arnalds' music transmits indescribable feelings and emotions, you have to listen to it and let yourself be carried away
Spiral for me, brings up every joyful and painful memory I have in my life all the same time, which leads to both kinds of tears. lol. Wonderful? Yes.
As long as there are people in the world like Olafur there will be hope for humanity as a collective..... Thanks
We love it.
Back to the Sky...Evokes everyone I have loved , and everyone who has died..
don't forget to experience your yin. if you long too much for the return of the sun, you might skip the beauty of winter
This "sunrise session" is very pleasurable ! I really like JFDR voice. ♥️
And now it is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.
Stadig fineste solhverv - lige her 🙂
my heart is with you all. thank you
8:38 Back to the sky with JFDR
🖤
Patiently waiting for the concert 2022. Keeping my tickets. The moment I'll hear the 1st note on the concert I'll cry and won't stop till the next day.
Musique tellement idéale à écouter ; on vole et découvre de nouveaux espaces ; merci de nous faire partager ce moment. Some kind of peace est fabuleux....
JFDR blows my mind, such raw emotive beauty.
When i listen to this music, i feel like my universe is in the changing.
In 2017, I was going through difficult times in many indescribable ways, my heart was so broken that wake up every morning was really painful, and then, like a healing bless from heaven, I discovered the music of Ólafur. Their musical notes were able to trigger a broad feelings range into my heart in such a way that, over time it was as if with each tone and to the rhythm of their compositions my soul was healed. Thanks Ólafur for help me when I needed!
With Murray Gold, you're the only one that can make me feel so much emotions, forget that I even exist, transport me that way with your music... I don't listen to them, I feel like I live them
Beautiful
cette musique te fait oublier l'absurdité du monde, toute la haine, tous les clivages, pour l'avoir vu en concert, c'est une grâce sans commune mesure, c'est un instant suspendu dans le temps jusqu'aux dernières minutes qui ne sont véritablement que du silence, il faut le vivre, allez l'écouter, les écouter, car notamment les violonistes sont habités par leur art, par l'amour de la musique
Thank you very much Olafur. Thank you for your music. You're really something sent by gods in heaven. An extraordinary person that sheds light into this world. Thank you. Thanks to your music I feel less alone.
"Back To The Sky" always makes me tremble.
those cars driven by out of the window, they didn't know what happening in here was so beautiful.
Beautiful....
So beautiful!
Wow, simplement magnifique 🥰 Je me suis imaginée, un instant, être assise, au milieu de cette pièce, et une pleine sérénité ma envahie. Je vous remercie pour ce moment magique 🙏 J'admire ton travail Òlafur Arnalds, ta musique m'inspire 🥰
I’m so grateful for your music, it brings me a lot of peace as I do my breathing practice, enabling me to go to deep places in my body which need healing. And I love the sunrise sessions where we can see all the musicians and their dedication and passion too. Such beauty 🙏
The last peice is pure art thank you for all the musicians ❤
That first song is so sad I'm going to break! 💔
