Thank you for reacting to Sigur Rós. I bought Ágætis byrjun just after it came out, after a reviewer scrabbling for comparisons, mentioned the Cocteau Twins, my favourite band of the time, who'd just disbanded. I loved it, and it started a whole journey into post-rock. Without realizing it, I was drawn to artists who sang without discernible lyrics, as it wasn't just the Cocteau Twins, but their 4AD stable mates of Dead Can Dance.
Thank you so much for this reaction 😊. Its so heartwarming to see other artists react to Sigur Rós and aknowledge their music. They are my overall favourite band of all times. I can't even describe how that bowed guitar gets to me every damn time together with Jónsis voice ❤.
I think that I probably do prefer listening to music in English, but I listen to a number of artists who perform in other languages and it's always a really nice experience. It allows me to shut off the analytical part of my brain that's trying to derive meaning from the lyrics and just appreciate the voice as an instrument. Incidentally, I've been curious about Sigur Ros' music for several years, but I've never given them a proper listen. I've skimmed a few albums, but it's so different from what I usually listen to that I just didn't know how to approach it. This was a great introduction and I'll definitely be listening to more of their stuff. Thank you.
Love it, thanks! Everybody knows Of Monsters and Men, I think, and I've always really liked them. THIS tho gives me the nudge I needed to take a deeper dive in to Icelandic music.
If you like to venture more into the "gibberish" vocals you should check out the band Corpo-Mente. The vocals are based on sounds and the feelings and emotions they bring.
Someone made a joke about this being about the Olsen twins (Marykate and Ashley) on the original video some time ago, and I still laugh thinking about it. A beautiful rendition though, in a beautiful setting. Would have been a dream to be there.
For a totally different Icelandic feel, you should definitely check out the band Skálmöld and with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra. The most popular song is 'Kvaðning', but as a vocal coach i think the song ´Hel´ might tickle your brain a bit more
Beth, great reaction. I always enjoy your reactions to Geoff Castellucci. Because of my Scottish roots, my wife and I did a coach tour of Scotland back in 2008. We dearly love the land of our ancestors. A while back you reacted to Lucy Thomas and her sister Martha sing In The Arms Of An Angel. She has her own channel with closed to 70 videos on it. lucythomasmusic Back in 2018 when she was 14 years old she was a semifinalist in the Voice Kids UK. Her most popular cover that she has done is Hallelujah when she was 16 and it has over 40 million views. However I would recommend that you react to one of her most recent covers of Unchained Melody. I think that it is her best performance yet. I hope that you will check her out and react to her more.
A few lifetimes ago, Brian Eno released "Discreet Music" and reshaped everything I thought I knew about music. So lyrics in a nonsense language? Meat for the beast, really. By the time I first heard Sigur Rós, language really didn't matter anymore--I'd been wandering around through music from so many different places. But the delivery stood out. Those floating tones were entrancing. The music behind them was almost too structured for me at first, but I grew to love the mix of structure and ambience. For a time, they were an obsessive favourite, always on the CD player (my playlists consisted of albums rather than songs). When we relocated to a deeply rural environment, I seldom listed to albums/CDs/tapes/radio any more. Instead the world around me was filled with unstructured, non-human music--the music of wind and birds and rain. It was only on returning to a more urban environment years later that I began to listen to recorded music again. So it is lovely to see my old obsessive favourite again here. Particularly with someone so clearly in love with music.
The Cocteau Twins was a Scottish band in the eighties that also had "lyrics" just to achieve a sound / feeling.....lots of eighties synthesizer too, haha
SIGUR ROS is a LSD Trip without LSD....Jonsi's Voice is an Instrument that don't need real Words...like LISA GERRARD.....playing a Guitar with a Cello Bow was used by JIMMY PAGE/LED ZEPPELIN in DAZED AND CONFUSED (check out the 30 Minute (!) live Version from THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME)....Sigur Ros even played a small role in GAME OF THRONES.The whole HEIMA Concert Shows are all out somewhere in the Nature and for Free.Their ultimate Song is the 15 Minute Live Version of "Untitled #8" played at the GREATEST Concert ever has happened in Island in their Capital City Reykjavik.Saw the 4 Times Live....always beyond description....Greatings from Namibia;South Africa.
PLEASE 🙏 react to one of the most loved Brazilian singers: Chitãozinho e Xororó com Sandy e Junior - Se Deus Me Ouvisse (orchestra version) ✨ Chitãozinho and Xororó (main singer) are brothers and one of top 3 most famous singers in Brazil. At this song, celebrating their 50th year on their carer, they sing with Sandy and Junior (who are Xororó’s sons and also singers). The song is about a cry to God after losing his loved one. PLEASE react to this one! You will love it! (Sandy also recorded one of her dad’s music called “meu disfarce” and she invited him to sing with her. It is also a master peace)
In Germany we grow up with English music and thus with music we do not immediately understand the lyrics of. There are actually quite some German bands singing in English. And there are times, when I find certain music in German kind of "cringe" for some reason, despite the lyrics being similar to some English songs. So to me, it never felt weird that I do not understand the lyrics of Sigur Rós.
I feel like there are some vocal melody approach that can be related to Bjork and some other Icelandic artist I've heard, it might be from some ethnic origin... But I ask myself if there isn't some kind of Arctic circle feel, I mean, although it's totally different, if you consider Mari Boine who is a Sami from Norway, or even the works of Jan Garbarek who is also from Norway but is a jazz sax, one of ECM's heavy weight, there is a kind of special feeling you also get by watching Christopher Nolan's Insomnia... Sorry, maybe should I do some musical theory analysis on such material in order to figure out if there are common points at this level... Note that the Norse death metal has something special too, but the reason is well known : Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion with all pots on 10 into a Marshall JCM-800 guitar amp💥🤟 Today, Autotune would ruin Jonsi's voice... and many others : Maybe you will love to discover the voices of : TONY BENNETT: ruclips.net/video/czJZtfHzsNE/видео.html FLORA PURIM ruclips.net/video/LdHoBfpA5ik/видео.html ruclips.net/video/UD21FG2Nmcw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/qRZ7v82vYqY/видео.html

Enjoy.
I was at the concert where this was filmed 18 years ago, truly magical.
Lucky.
They're just as good in concert as well as sitting quietly with amazing surround sound.
Thank you for reacting to Sigur Rós.

Te amo por incluir en tus videos a esta maravillosa y única banda.....escucha viorar vel til loftarasa de ellos. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
i Have the illustration of Agaetis Byrjun tattooed on my shoulder, Sigurs Ros is my favortie band since 2002
Sigur Ros is more of a religious song experience than a "band". Love the play. Keep up the incredible work!
Finally, all their songs are amazing
She has covered Glósóli too, a while ago✌️
Their songs always remind me of memories I’ve never had.
Well, not in this lifetime anyway.

Ever tried artists who sing in Kobaïan?
@@harounel-poussah6936 I had to google Kobaïan. I checked out some of Magma's music and I really liked it. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.
Still my favorite band of all time. Awesome to see that you reacted to another song after Glosoli a long time ago.
What a beautiful and hypnotic sound!! And imagine being there live at that stunning outdoor wilderness venue!
Beautiful Instrumental Music Video Selection I ❤ it Soo Much To Listening Also.
Love it, thanks! Everybody knows Of Monsters and Men, I think, and I've always really liked them. THIS tho gives me the nudge I needed to take a deeper dive in to Icelandic music.
Eythor Ingi doing a cover of She's Gone and Going to California are amazing.
Windblown that no RUclipsr has reacted to him yet.
They do an amazing version of Hoppipolla at this same place on Heima. Hope you react to it as well some day!
Imagine being there ❤
There certainly is a resonance with Scotland, its landscape and culture, particularly its Celtic music and Gaelic Psalms...
I bought their 'white album' back in the day and listened to it quite a lot. It's was ASMR music before there was ASMR. The bass tone there is killer.
Another nonsensical but beautiful lyricist is Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.
Well done Another special from The best Beth❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤
Enya an Irish new age music artist also uses a fictitional language called Loxian.
This song should be listened with closed eyes
Of Monsters and Men is another Icelandic band you'll love
Here is a voice that I think you would really appreciate --- Kate Smith - God Bless America
Please do Gojira at the Olympics?
That's Music for the Soul ....😊
For whatever reason, this reminds me a little of Goodspeed You! Black Emperor, but really could not say why.
Maybe because both music has roots on what its called "post-rock", although with different approaches
If you like to venture more into the "gibberish" vocals you should check out the band Corpo-Mente. The vocals are based on sounds and the feelings and emotions they bring.
Brilliant!!

Ok. Try The Nicholas Brothers-Down Argentine Way & I've got a Gal in Kalamazoo. Both in Color
There is another Transcendental band from Iceland - mÜm, not sure about what to suggest, it was long ago when i last gave them a spin

Hey could you please do a video on Star's fur?? I can't believe u reacted to a sigur Ross video

Do a reaction to Sarah Ikumu purple Rain and British got talent
Yes! Finally!
She has covered Glósóli too🙌
North Atlantic music, be it Icelandic, Faroese, Scottish have similar haunting, beautiful qualities.
