I remember one time I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of my university in between classes. This song came on my phone and I zoned out completely for the entirety of its duration. Just staring at the trees and listening. It’s been 6 years since that, I don’t see my friends from that time period very much anymore, I got a job and I’m happy. But this song will always remind me of that time and how much simpler life was back then. When I could zone out in my car and then go back to my friends. I miss those guys.
This was the last song i played for my grandmother as the nurses unplugged her from life support in her comatose state. She opened her eyes for a brief moment (the doctors explained that these movements were all involuntary reactions) but it felt like an eternity. I could see the universe in the glisten of her stare. I could see her entire life in the tears that slowly streamed from her pupils. Although she went too soon , it was a beautiful death. RIP Mami Bita. I miss you everyday
:( I hope she's resting in peace. And I hope you're okay too. Be strong. Im glad this was the last thing she could listen to, as this is so very beautiful that im sure she must be at peace too.
Rest in paradise my love #bita the woman/human to show me the purest form of love I've ever known and likely to understand the rest of my days on earth. Can't wait to tiptoe the clouds holding your hand ❤️❤️❤️
I remember I was sitting home one day at the end of grade 9 feeling really bummed about a lot of things, marks, parents relationships and all. Then I stumbled across this song and for 6 minutes and 47 seconds I just stared outside my window and had some peace. 6 years later still listening to this song.
lying at the bottom of the deep tunnel of depression, broken and mangled. But instead of seeing no way out I see a slight bit of light creep in that illuminates me with hope that there might be a way of out of this treacherous place in life. That is what I hear when I listen to this song.
This is my favorite song. I have no comparison; I have little by which to gauge it. But I have yet to hear another song with this level of emotional gravity. Damn.
esto es hermoso, sufro depresión, pero al escuchar esta música siento que puedo volver a ponerme de pie, a creer de alguna manera en la vida. Sin duda una obra de arte magnífica
@@DiegoSLLC La musica ayuda con subir nuestro animo, pero no puede sanar la depresión, dado que es un trastorno mental y necesita terapia y medicina. No hay nada de malo en buscar ayuda.

I'm somewhat sicked in these days and it still takes me a couple of weeks to get recovered... but this amazing clip makes me realize how happy I am to be alive, able to listen to this and enjoy this world. I can't wait to be healthy again, and I'll keep working hard for it.
Can't get enough of the tune. Wonderful wonderful. I discovered Sigur Ros almost by accident, couple of weeks ago. It feels like I wasnt alive before it.
the day i finally nailed this on the piano was one of the prouder days in my life. screw graduation. this song is...just so exquisite. i play it all the time, but even then, the emotions i feel whilst playing are no where near the amount that i feel when i just close my eyes and surround myself with the intense sound that is this song.
Quelle musique qui s'adresse directement aux personnes qui sont mort comme mon père il y a 5 ans c'est magistral et d'une puissance émotionnelle rare et surtout ne jamais les oublier.
i want to cry yet i want to be happy and live at the same time .. this is how this song makes me feel, and no song has ever made me feel that way.. wow, breathtaking
This is the best song of all time. I've gone through every song I've ever loved, written it forwards, backwards and sideways, picked them apart and listened to them all hundreds of times, and I can confirm that this is my all time favorite, because it is the only song to give me an unbreakable sense of peace and beauty. It takes me to another place where I can be calm and clear and thought in ways that I never could otherwise.
I experienced something very sad today, and this song helps me cleaning myself of those emotions. Even though I'll be more sad while listening to this song, it helps me get those emotions out of me and feel better afterward. I will never forget you because you meant so much to me...
one of my favorite instrumental songs...one of the best ever written, in my opinion. thank you sigur ros, you are such an amazing and talented, beautiful band.
Aw, thanks....believe me, I am so grateful to be among like minds and hearts all overflowing for Sigur....seems to be what they do best is fill us with such beautiful music, music unlike anything I have ever heard in my whole life :) THANK YOU!!!
I don't understand how people find this song relaxing. It is I suppose in a way but from the probably millions of times ive listened to this song I get nothing but sadness it just makes me want to cry even if im in the best mood
Nothing is said in this entire song yet I can't stop listening to it. Truly emotional. Sigur Ros, I applaud your brilliancy for making such an inspiring and great song. Made me a little teary-eyed. :(
I am confident if we played this song world wide, from the furthest city to our closest neighbors most of us would stop, some would cry, others would wonder why but the smartest would realize emotions like these are one of the most amazing gifts we can feel.
A song with such emotion, yet not a single word. It's just amazing. I agree try listening to this when your high, it gives off a different perspective. But this video, its amazing. Fantastic job.
Everytime i listen to this song. It recalls me about memories 9-10 years ago when i still in univ. there are lot of moments i spent there with full of joy and happiness. Like i wish i can rewind my life again. And this song always triggers it. What a lovely tunes.
From a musical standpoint, I feel like no matter how many instruments they add to accompany this, the feeling of the song will not be added to or taken away from in the least. This is truly what is meant when they say something is transcendent.
The music of Sigur Rós is the most meaningful i can imagine. I have been to several concerts here in Norway, and they all gave me the moment of my life. Their music is so powerful and mentally challenging. If you need to be cheered up, then listen to Gobbledigook, Glosoli or Festival, and if you are down and want to cry a little..Samskeyti, Ara Batur or most tracks on the Untitled album will give you a little push.. Thank you Sigur Rós for being the best band in the world!
This song is so amazingly captivating and intense I just can't see how someone would dislike it. Although we are all entitled to our own personal taste and opinion, whoever doesn't like this song must have to be empty inside not to feel anything when listening to it.
i love this song-i could listen to it over and over again and not get tired of it. i was in a really crappy mood earlier and this song just kind of calmed me down and made me feel better
I must get into about 20 new artists every year, very rarely do I come across a band that makes me think "Where the hell have they been all my life?!" This is the best band I've come across in about 2 years.
I don't know if I can accurately describe how much this song means to me. It's like it makes me remember every bad thing that happened to me in my life, and just...washes it all away.
This has got to be one of my favorite clips/videos ft. good music of all time.. Great cinematography (not the right term, but I think you get the idea). Just lovely.
ive read lots of comments here and its funny how many of us burst into tears while listening to this song, but most important, many of us feel this strange and sickening emotion of huge hope and deep sadness at the same time. its just magical, I feel myself running both sides of this spctrum of feelings, I want to cry and shout and yet smile and love. This is pure genious, what every musician out there tries to do their entire life; fuck up someone from inside with just a melody.
"And there, in front of them, in the room with us, stood the family, their outlines barely visible within the weight of the room's light. It was a light that shone over our faces, our wounds and scars. It was a light so brilliant and white it could have been beamed from heaven, and Brian and I could have been angels, basking in it. But it wasn't, and we weren't."
15 people were feeling soo good about themselves they closed their eyes and accidently hit the dislike button instead of the like button. this song makes me feel soo happy on the inside and full of emotion that it needs to be put into dance!
I have been feeling very sad for a friend the last couple of days, and it seemed all the music i listened to didnt explain how i felt, this song just changed all of that.
Breathtaking. Mesmerizing. Transcendent. Magical. I go out hiking and watch the hawks and this song plays in my head. It's as if it was written for them as they ride the thermals upward for what seems an eternity.
I believe this song is a portal to the Divine. Whatever "God" or higher, highest power that is, this song seems to be a portal to that realm... Instills peace and hope and possibilities... My favorite song to meditate to.
This song is on our playlist at work. It took me hearing the song five times before I was able to go to the back to see what it was. I think this song sounds so beautiful, and it's one of my favorite songs that plays at work. I always listen for it. This one and Falling Slowly from the movie Once but I don't know which version of the song it is. Anyway, I love this song. It's amazing.
Same here. Altho i know them longer than 1 week i only know them for a year or so. DIdn't like the songs of them that they played on the radio. But then i saw a documentary of their country Iceland and it was full of this kind of music by sigur ros and i was instantly sold ! Try "Von" wich is also a great song like this.
This song is beautiful and the video and images while this song was playing only enhanced it even more! I first heard this at the end of Mysterious Skin, and I have to say that I actually cried, which is unusual for me, because I've never cried at a movie before! This song is just that unbelievably.......beautiful!! (for a lack of a better word...)
10.11.23 Holy Moses this is odd. Not knew that song before, but ur video hit hard to home. All I can imagine is my other half. We met the first official time in 1998/1999 in a comic store. Smart like a crow and funny as well.YT counts here: 17 years ago
I first heard this song in Mysterious Skins, and then in Skins... I'm thankful to that movie for introducing me to Sigur Ros xD It was a beautiful movie and this song really suits the ending scene well... :D
taped it years ago from the radio but did not know the name of the song untill i watched skins and it reminded me of the song that seemed so...words can't describe it...just like life i guess...cool
4:44 in. This song means so much to me, not ashamed to admit it i well up when it gets to that point, It is so powerful, i cant think of any other sound that could make me feel like that. Im not sad, im happy that im given a chance to see al these awesome things...
