    When my wife died suddenly in 2018, this song perfectly captured my feelings of utter desolation - but it was also strangely comforting. I played it so many times in the months afterwards. Today I revisited it for the first time in a couple of years and it’s still profoundly moving. Much love to everyone who finds this song special for whatever reason.

      My 32 years old daughter died also in december 2018, and it's true that this song and a lot of other song written and played by Olafur Arnalds produce the same effect but also make you cry.

    I just played this for my grade 8 class after analyzing the lyrics as they connect to our novel study of "Speak". The were able to interpret the emotions related to trying and trying to hold things together, despite have it seem all worthless..."feels like wasted time." Beyond the lyrics they expressed how much her voice, the movement of the camera doing circles around the players, the repetition of chords on the piano, and even the instrumentalists on the steps gave depth and meaning to the song. The novel, written by Laurie Halse Anderson, tells the story of a 9th grade girl who is in the depth of isolation, sadness, and anger after a summer tragedy. Very powerful.

      @pezushka Год назад +1

      Its the weather, the cold and dark breeds depth and character. Iceland has the highest per capita prescriptions of anti-depressants in the world, this darkness and turbulence helps makes the whole. Beauty is a symmetry of light and dark, it is found at the inflection point between the negative and positive emotional states, this song exemplifies this, you need both sides.
      The bride is beautiful because she is shielded by the veil, the veil is the bridge between light and dark, the best and most beautiful music is found here, the veil is the inflection point.

    I like thinking about the meaning of this song as a story of a drowned woman and her soul out of her body which sees that a lifeguard tries to reanimate her, but she already knows that's too late and it's just wasted time. Whole process of saving life is always emotional, rushing and stressful, but the song maintains peaceful vibe, even though she cries about leaving this world, but knowing it's time to move on. Say goodbye and don't worry- you've done your best

    One of my favorite things about Ólafur's music is how the recordings keep the sounds the piano makes as he presses the keys and pedals. It gives the music this really nice grounded and almost earthy quality.

      Frahm does that too, but I think he even goes overboard a bit and it becomes distracting. Olafur gets it right.

    To this day, Particles remains to be my favorite song hands down. Beyond my adoration for Nanna, this songs consistently stays incredibly prevalent with my current state, no matter the time.

    So this is what Nanna has been doing, I have to say this was brilliant and I'm interested in Ólafur as a result. Plus does anyone else think she gets better at singing all the time?

    Here are the correct lyrics, as posted by Nanna on her Twitter:
    Here I am
    Floating in emerald sea
    Keep me dancing
    Keep me still as can be
    And I try to keep the balance right
    I try but it feels like wasted time
    But these heavy hands
    They’re pulling me down on my chest
    Latching on, coloring all of my flesh
    Quietly, you hover over me
    And I fight but it feels like wasted time
    Say goodnight
    I know that I’m swallowed in sea
    We collide, colors that devour me
    Just say goodnight
    I’m already down
    I cry
    I'm already down
    Already down
    And I cry
    Already down
    And I try
    And I try
    But it feels like wasted…

    I fell in love with this masterpiece the moment I heard it years ago.
    I choreographed a lyrical ballet dance piece to this
    This song is in my soul forever
    So grateful for their music!
    Will share my dance my piece when the time and place are right
    Timing is everything
    What a gift music is!
    Blessings, love & light to all.
