English translation of the Lyrics: I put myself forward over the head,halfway backward See myself singing the gospel hymn we wrote together We had a dream,we had all We rode to the end of the world,we rode searching Climbing skyscrapers Which then shattered the peace there I played steady Falling down,I will let myself forward,and somehow I always come down again in the same place Absolute silence No words The best thing that God has created is a new day
every time i find myself reliving my childhood religious trauma, i come back to this video and just bawl my eyes out. learning to accept myself has been a long and often times unforgiving journey but it gets easier. some days are harder than others, but overall it gets easier.
One of the reasons I totally reject religion is that it destroys souls. If someone believes that's fine, but what churches do to people is morally completely reprehensible, especially the Christian church, which has been up to mischief for centuries. Sorry if that sounds harsh to some, it's the truth. The video is a very strong sign against exclusion and fanaticism.
@@svenboucherThat is not accurate. It is fanatics and extremists that destroy souls but not Christ. Christ restores it. A lot of fanatic people have portrayed God as a monster that sits on His throne and waits until people sin just to punish them but that is not the true God. That is a God of their own image...
Thank you Sigur Rós, and especially Jonsi on giving me a voice through this clip. I was bullied out of my sports team for being gay and remember faking an injury just to not play again because of how heavy the abuse was. It's as if if you are gay, everybody just wants to destroy you. The other players were hell-bent on giving me a hard time. As a consequence I grew up feeling as though the world owed me an apology. 20 years later, the pain of all the abuse still remains. 2:27 best describes my feelings till this day. I don't know what it is about this clip, but every time I watch it, a part of me heals... THANK YOU.
I watched it as a teenager and I still remember it - and I think I'll never forget. It was way too powerful for me at the time when I first saw it and it hit me directly. Still moved by now. Tragic yet real.
This is so great song, one of Icelandic best song. The end is so special, it says; ég lek jafnvægi dett niður alger þögn ekkert svar en það besta sem guð hefur skapað er nýr dagur And that is in English, I loose balance fall down complete silence no answear but the best that God has created is a new day.
In 2000, around the time I was coming out in my early teens, despite Belgium being very progressive for the time, there wasn't much representation in media, except for a few celebrities, and a lot of stereotypes, and especially not with or for younger people. Seeing this clip made me feel included.
Este video, es ese video que no importa cuando lo veas, siempre te trae recuerdos a la memoria, te llena de sentimientos, te encuentras en la nada pensando en todo...
This was so important for 12 year old me to watch. Can't believe it's been 8 years since I first watched this. This is where Troye Sivan's music videos derives their plot from.
Love this video for years, from first time I saw it, like watching myself in young age, wasnt have dolls, but was gentle, hated footbal, knew something was diferent but I didn`t know what at that time.
the magical thing about this video is that we don't understand the lyrics, we don't know what the song really is about, but we instantly feel for the boys and want them to be happy.
Even 24 years after this music aired, it still is as actual as it was back then, or almost as much. Havent listen to this for like 15 years... Beautiful.
Important clip for me as a teenager back then, and still important for me nowadays. Sometimes, when it gets hard and I think about giving up, watching this video just gives me strength, it reminds me that the worst is already gone.
Even after all these years, I would still say this is probably the best music video ever. (Although, referring it to it as a 'music video' doesn't really do it justice.) But this is just absolutely FLAWLESS!
"Leave the politics out of the music please ." Wow, that's like saying leave the love out of music. Or leave the life out of music. Or leave topics that are unfavorable to me out of music. So sad you like music but have no idea what it truly is. This is a beautiful song and video and what's more, it is a beautiful message whether you're mind is open enough to hear it or not.
So glad I found this band at the time in my life when I most needed them. Was having a tough time coming to terms with myself and my sexuality and their music was always there for me.
Beautiful. It sends shivers up my spine and gives me goosebumps. As a child I played with dolls and was tormented by my fellow peers, my parents didn't care and bought me dolls because they made me happy. I no longer play with dolls but this video bought it all back to me. I felt like this growing up, I hope that in this day and age people will learn to accept others for who they are. Thank you Sigur Ros!
Way to old for this to make a difference now, but if I could live this day, every day of my life, I would, knowing I wasn’t alone, for the very first time, at that point in my life it would have changed so much.
Being gay is not a choice, but we have a choice to abide by virtue or by vice, it is virtuous to be charitable, and to be charitable is to love, charity is letting those love who they want, whether pansexual, heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, inter-sexual, all the way down to asexual celibacy, to love oneself is the happiness one feels when they can embrace and feel happy for the love that others share, love is love, you can try and attach a label to any sexual orientation, but love is not a label, love is love, thank you Sigur Ros for helping me come out of the closet 12 years ago, I remember this video as well as I did when I watched it then. Embrace the love you see around you to be able to love yourself and the world around you, unconditionally.
I don't think they forgot anything. Their music isn't meant to wallow inside typical musical expectations and boundaries; it's meant to surpass them. That's what makes it awesome.
This is still one of the best, most amazing and truthful things I've ever seen. Thank you, Sigur Rós. I was stunned, amazed, the first time I saw this music video, but I didn't know then who the artists/band were or the title. I've been a fan ever since, later, someone recommended Sigur Rós to me. Great song, great video.
This is the 5th Time I seen that video. This is the first Time i cried. I don't really know why, but lately nearly every night i got depressed and cried. And this Video helps me so much about thinking. Thank you for that great Videos Sigur Ros!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful, there are no words to describe the power of the music or the video. I pity the people who could bring themselves to click the dislike button.
I love Sigur Rós, yet this is the first time I see the video. It's so beautiful, such wonderful cinematography, such beautiful acting. With no words, it says more than a million words. It says it all. So poetic.
man i dont no which is more emotionally striking the music or the video it self. i cant find one video of theres that dosent make me think.... they can tell an emotional story without even speaking... brilliant
literally just got back from london at 2.30am! gig was absolutely stunning, we had rain effects, snow effects and confetti, then an amazing blizzard from the back of the stage at the end!!!
This song can instantly take me back to my young days of nonchalance. Was such an important song for me & will be forever. Ágætis byrjun helps me time travel.
I was introduced to their beautiful music when I saw this video from Sigur Ros. My partner and I have always wished we had spent all of our lives together. The capturing of their innocence is brilliant story telling.
This is a bona fide masterpiece, both the video and the song. I was lucky enough to see them play this live in about 2004 and there were grown men weeping in the audience - I've never experienced anything like it before or since. I watched them again on Monday night in Manchester but sadly I don't think this song has been in their set for many years...every time they tour I buy tickets hoping that they'll play it again!
I first saw them on their Takk tour in the US around then in 2006 when they were touring with Aniima. I was one of those people sobbing in the audience during this (and frankly a good part of the concert). Their sound just completely enveloped the entire performance hall. It was both overwhelming and cathartic. This song still feels as fresh as it did over 20 years ago, and is still just as powerful.
this reminds me my childhood, oh! those were difficult times. there's nothing worst than loving someone and people telling you that your feelings are wrong! there is nothing wrong with my love, because my love is pure
Omigoodness this was such an amazing video. Like, way to reach out to all those struggling with their sexuality. You just earned a like, favorite, and subscribe from me. This was honestly the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time, so thanks to Sigur Ros for sharing this with the world. It was amazing and I feel like I could watch it over and over again.
This reminds me of my first crush and my childhood in the Faroe Islands! It's really amazing! and may have been around their age when this was recorded or a couple of years younger!truly an amazing video!
What a truly brilliant film clip for a phenomenal song by a truly unique band from that amazing country Iceland.. The beauty and art and decency that comes from that little country is astonishing... a population about the same of that of Leicester in the U.K. that provides such a torrent of talented people ... but this clip is from another realm quality wise because of the theme it realises and questions so beautifully.... magnificent.
"The best thing God has created is a new day" this gives me strength during hard times because it always reminds me that no matter how hard it's being, tomorrow will be a new day and all of this will be just part of the past.
Oggi è uno dei giorni peggiori della mia vita, ho finalmente preso una decisione che non avrei mai considerato di prendere. Mi ritrovo ad ascoltarti, in tutta la tua perfezione. Grazie per esserci sempre, rimarrai per sempre con me.
No joke, this video instantly changed my outlook on homosexuality. After watching I knew my religion was wrong and I began making my way out of the church. Love this band so much.
That’s wonderful news! It was through my allyship (before I realized I was actually queer, myself) that began my turning my back on the church and made me an Atheist. Even when I was still identifying as Christian I knew that queerness couldn’t possibly be a sin. Queer people have historically sacrificed everything for who they love and to live, peacefully, as who they are. How is that hurting anyone? How can that be a sin? I’ve been an Athiest since age 14 until about age 24 when I had a momentary relapse into Christianity, and then I left the church for good at about age 34. My life has been so much better since. I’m free to do whatever I want without fear of eternal damnation and I choose to be a good, kind, empathetic, and loving person because it betters society not because some cloud-bound boogeyman demands it of me. Congratulations on finding your own freedom. ☺️
Yeah, well I left religion too because of its aggression against many freedoms that do not identify as immoral things. But I feel now so alone & alienated because religion made me still feel purposeful in life, & it provided me a sense of existential security. Now that I lost religion, I lost my sanity & faith in this universe!

this video was SO important in my teenage years...i'll always remember it
Crei ser el unico
Era e continua. Toda vez que dá vontade de desistir lembro dele e lembro que o pior já passou.
Me too!!

uf me too
Almost 20 years later, I still cry every time I see this video
yeah... every single time and here i am one more time
same here!
Me too
Me too. And I get chills.
English translation of the Lyrics:
I put myself forward over the head,halfway backward
See myself singing the gospel hymn we wrote together
We had a dream,we had all
We rode to the end of the world,we rode searching
Climbing skyscrapers
Which then shattered the peace there
I played steady
Falling down,I will let myself forward,and somehow
I always come down again in the same place
Absolute silence
No words
The best thing that God has created is a new day
thx
_The best thing God created is a new day_
What a wonderful line!
Wow
Vaka, Glosoli, now we need a 4K for this masterpiece!! Best piece of soulful ethereal music I've ever listened
Such a great band. I remember the first time I saw this video and this is one of those bands that you instantly fall in love with.
First saw on year 2000. 18 years later I saw it again. All emotions,tears the same.
I remeber seeing this when I was 13...And for the first time in my life I remeber thinking that I was not alone after all...TY Sigur Rós
One of the most beautiful, moving music videos I've ever seen.

Nothing but love from this re-re born.
every now and then I come back to this, just to remember to do the right thing in life. which is listening to people and never judging anybody.
As an Icelandic man in my mid 30's, Sigur Rós has been with me my entire life. Ágætis Byrjun is the best album to come from this desolate island.
Thank you Sigur Rós, and especially Jonsi on giving me a voice through this clip.

This is so great song, one of Icelandic best song.
The end is so special, it says;
ég lek jafnvægi
dett niður
alger þögn
ekkert svar
en það besta sem guð hefur skapað
er nýr dagur
And that is in English,
I loose balance
fall down
complete silence
no answear
but the best that God has created
is a new day.
I swear I cried when the guy threw the dolls.
+TheFawziAsraf dad
The feels on the bus go round, and round.... *quietly sobs*
Whew, I just had myself a good old fashioned ugly-cry to this. This album will always have a special place.

I’ve listened to hundreds of albums, and this just might be my favorite song of all time.
One of the best in the world for sure. So beautiful.

Yeahh,i thought that too

the magical thing about this video is that we don't understand the lyrics, we don't know what the song really is about, but we instantly feel for the boys and want them to be happy.
Then look up the lyrics….lazy
Love must always dare... must always hope...
May we all have the strength to love.
Even 24 years after this music aired, it still is as actual as it was back then, or almost as much. Havent listen to this for like 15 years... Beautiful.

Ok….how?

Even after all these years, I would still say this is probably the best music video ever. (Although, referring it to it as a 'music video' doesn't really do it justice.) But this is just absolutely FLAWLESS!
So powerful one of my favorite videos ever

So it is, and nobody can anything against it
easily the greatest song ever made. absolutely nothing comes close to this

Stop inserting your politics where there is none

One of the most beautiful things ever created,this music and this video,I love it so much.
This may be my favorite music video of all time. It is beautiful, brilliant and powerfully moving. It made me an instant fan of Sigur Ros.
Absolutely beautiful. Love should not be limited...it is an expression of our being, and soul. Love is not definite, it is free, and always changing.
A real masterpiece.
Totally astonished by this absolute beauty !!
Just as beautifully profound as when I first saw it years ago. Sigur Ros makes me shiver.
man i dont no which is more emotionally striking the music or the video it self.
i cant find one video of theres that dosent make me think....
they can tell an emotional story without even speaking...
brilliant
Add this too the "Things that are absolutely heartbreaking" list
I am very glad to have rediscovered this video.
Finally found it. I knew this music video existed. It took forever to find it
literally just got back from london at 2.30am! gig was absolutely stunning, we had rain effects, snow effects and confetti, then an amazing blizzard from the back of the stage at the end!!!

Beautiful, very sublime.
this still is and probably always will be my favorite video of all time.
AMAZING SONG
and i keep coming back to this beautiful entanglement of music and powerful visuals... i love Sigur Ros!
It's a cold heart that doesn't appreciate what's being said in this video, moving art with sound. Perfect
This is a bona fide masterpiece, both the video and the song.
I was lucky enough to see them play this live in about 2004 and there were grown men weeping in the audience - I've never experienced anything like it before or since. I watched them again on Monday night in Manchester but sadly I don't think this song has been in their set for many years...every time they tour I buy tickets hoping that they'll play it again!
I first saw them on their Takk tour in the US around then in 2006 when they were touring with Aniima. I was one of those people sobbing in the audience during this (and frankly a good part of the concert). Their sound just completely enveloped the entire performance hall. It was both overwhelming and cathartic. This song still feels as fresh as it did over 20 years ago, and is still just as powerful.
I saw this for the first time fifteen years and a million miles ago, but the way their faces still makes my heart hurt. ❤️
this reminds me my childhood, oh! those were difficult times. there's nothing worst than loving someone and people telling you that your feelings are wrong! there is nothing wrong with my love, because my love is pure

This is just beautiful 😭😍

Without any doubt, my favorite YT video ever. Thank you so much.
I hope they convert the video to hd already... what an important song and mv!
What a truly brilliant film clip for a phenomenal song by a truly unique band from that amazing country Iceland.. The beauty and art and decency that comes from that little country is astonishing... a population about the same of that of Leicester in the U.K. that provides such a torrent of talented people ... but this clip is from another realm quality wise because of the theme it realises and questions so beautifully.... magnificent.
