I’m not sure if you see these comments any more, but for the last few months (more like many months- it’s probably almost been a year now) I lost my will to play piano, and there was a point where I just thought I’d be so rusty that it wouldn’t be worth it. But after seeing this, I believe I finally got the push I needed to start playing again. This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever listened to, and I want to achieve my goal of playing this myself some day. Thank you.
Mark Fowler wow it’s been 11 years since you posted this video. Incredible how you still check out the comments nowadays...it shows that you care! 🤙🏻❤️ thanks for the cover by the way, it is incredible! And really really inspiring.
@@lulilagartos959 I check in to listen to this one in a while, a least once a month. I still get sad and happy at the same time listening to this, because it's so beautiful it hurts.
I have to add I am telling you this from memory as I am sat in the public library away from my house...so sorry if there are any inaccuracies, although I think its 100% right to be honest, cheers.
Thanks for your comments. In answer to your question, the truth is the piano Sigur Ros use to play the original song on is tuned differently. Basically its tuned 'off' A440 (the standard tuning for piano and other concert instruments). So its pretty much played out of tune if you like, thats all it is, its obviously just a weird little thing they decided to do for the piece.
Seriously man, the covers you do are literally of like my absolute FAVORITE freaking songs, it's freaking unbelievable man. Coldplay, Sigur Ros, Adele, Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen. Some of my absolute favorite bands in the world. Your covers are freaking amazing!
This song is beauty, this song is love, this song is peace, this song is clear, it puts a smile on your face when your down and it lights up the world with its warm glow, it makes me want to cry, but happy tears, It's almost natrual in a way and it's all because he plays through his heart and not his head! :'')
Many who view this video will feel somewhat privileged to have had you share a wonderous few minutes with them. A truly beautiful offering, a slither of light where there was none before. Thank you Mark.
This song inspired me to start music classes. Music is my life. This will always be my favorite song and favorite composer. I do thank you for uploading this. You changed my life
I am watching from above, looking down at the steady mountains, the playful oceans, the circling herds and the growing trees. I am jumping off a cliff to finally be one with the elements. I am flying, I am invincible, I am returning home, I am a free spirit, I am a child, My Mother is Nature, My sanctuary is: Love, Beauty, Peace & Freedom. Give up this false life for eternity, become the one you were meant to be........... There is always a light of hope in the darkness, be that light
Thanks for your kind words. You could get a Roland FP-4, like in my other videos, thats a very good digital piano, I got mine for around £700 online, you need to decide your price range first though, and I can help you. However you really need to go to a shop and try some out, and get advice from the sales people....cheers.
Fantastic!! Our family watched "We bought a zoo", fell in love with this song, now my daughter and I got a keyboard and are trying to learn this tune as a trophy piece (while we go through the motions of chopsticks and TwinkleLittle star etc etc)
Simply amazing! I agree with OtherRandomThings, you should do a tutorial for this! None of the tutorials I can find include the lyrical melodies, just the first part of the song.
Your play amazing and you also look so at peace with yourself when you play this, it is a fantastic song and a great video as I just look at what you are doing. It is all so soothing to you. Well done mate.
I'm halfway through this song and just couldnt wait to comment & like... LEGENDARY, I'm going to learn this song in 15 minuites. Ive learnt quite a few on youtube but this is by the best id like to learn. Keep it up man :D
Just amazing. This is the best performance of Hoppipolla that I've ever heard for the moment =). You have good taste in music, I know most of the artists whose you've played the songs like Yann Tiersen, Coldplay, Ludovico Einaudi & obviously Sigur Ros.

We used this recording at our wedding in 2009. Makes me smile every time I hear it, thank you for being so good on the piano.

For me too!! Wow
I hope you’re still playing:)
This track makes me cry outta happiness and I just wanna go and hug my 98 year old grandpa... Sigur ros
This song makes me want to start playing piano. This is by far one of the most beautiful songs ever created.
I absolutely can not get enough of this song. This song made me feel alive for the first time ever.

I could just sit here forever and listen to this...
I cannot believe someone can figure this out, seeing as no sheet music exists. Bravo

Doesn't look a easy one to play u did an outstanding job. It's one of the GREATEST TUNES EVER 👍🌹❤️👍
Thanks for your comment, I dont have sheet music available, this was by ear and pretty much improvised as I went along.
