Para los que no vieron el documental de Heima. Jónsi relata que al volver de la gira internacional, en ese lugar donde están tocando llegó una empresa minera a extraer aluminio, destruyendo por completo el ecosistema y la belleza de ese parque montañistas, el más grande de Europa. Ante lo acongojado que los dejó al llegar y verlo, decidieron tocar en acústica, dándole un toque melancólico y hasta nostálgico.
I know the feeling... haha. My parents dragged me to the weirdest places too, when i was that age... Back then, i really didnt pay much attention to the shear beauty and pureness of those places, and found it boring... Well, when i look back at those times i'd smack my head now... Looking back to it, makes me craving to visit those places again, and look at them in a whole other way. The right way...
Always love these vids from Iceland...of course none of the vids will ever be done at the now extinct Rockville AFSite...if the 40 mph wind didn't get you...the smell of the nearby fish racks would have.....I was there for a year in 1972-1973.
It's a reed organ, also known as a pump organ. That model in specific is a portable type, probably made by the company Estey. They're beautiful instruments.. Google search "Estey travelling organ" for more info.
it's something about this sigur ross.....i do'nt know... hits you right inthe soul. congrats from romania.... it's been a long time... since i had this feelin' about eanything... guess there's mote than ashes coming from iceland.. ha? :) beatutiful.
lucky the people that lived it, i really want to see them live, i didnt think I'd like them acousticly, i was wrong i like them alot....and yes this song brings me down, but it's also my favoite!!!
@cronojdbass I actually got an account on an Icelandic website for a while after first listening to Sigur Ros. I got exactly the same feeling. I wanted to go this magical place where this music came from.
Can anyone tell me what instrument that little foot organ deal is? I have found some on the internet but not a small one like is played here. What a wonderful song!
i cried (i never cry) (ever) (well ok i cried another time when i missed loreena mckennitt in concert) other than that though im a cold calloased bastard
i want to go to iceland maaannnn i can beleive how much time i have wasted in worthless stuff when there is so much beauty around us and we dont even take a min to contemplate
Lol the camera guy has the worst timing to decide a different angle would be better. Even get some heavy breathing at the end. Apart from that, this is a very magical moment in time, Sigur at their best imo.
