When we were classmates in high school I told you "listen to this song, it's beautiful". A few months later we kissed for the first time. The first Christmas together you prepared all the Sigur Ros CDs by printing the covers from the web because being students we didn't have the money to buy them originals. On one of them you wrote "I hope they will keep you company while you drive to my house". Then we grew up together for many years, lived abroad and faced the difficulties of life together. Now that you are gone it's emptiness at every step. You were my first love and I will always love you. In the bathroom I still keep your toothbrush in the hope that one day you will return. In the meantime, when, as now, I listen to this song, I think back to us.
This song is so nice that my wife and I used it in our wedding. This is what she came down the isle to. Right at 1:06 is when the doors opened and I saw her! Between her and this song I lost it and just broke into tears!
this kind of songs have the perfect combination of sadness, liberty, peace, hope, pain, loneliness, love, strength and forgiveness... its simple and complex, like itself... just ear and feel... take your conclusions.... excellent!
This song is out of this world, probably my favorite ever! I want this played at my funeral, been a fan of Sigor Ros ever since I saw Vanilla Sky. Pure genius!
This song, for me, encapsulates the feeling of a Portuguese word that I discovered, 'saudade', a concept that has marked my entire life. A feeling of yearning for something that might not exist, an existential sorrow that feels greater than me, more than mere fleeting sadness. Something that will continue to haunt me forever, I expect. But when I hear this song I feel that I am not alone, at least.
Saudade is not a good thing! You get stuck in a place that you don't know and, therefore, you live in a imaginary world where everything is beautiful and ethereal... And that's bad because you're living a lie and not living at the same time, trust me I'm Portuguese...
gives me the chills. to me this song represents the end of something beautiful and teters on the edge of the happiness it gave you and sadness that accompanies the end of something really good.
If you see them live once, you'll want to see them again. They sound as good as in the studio, and their music gives anything but a corpse goose bumps.
I remember seeing them 20 years ago at the Granada Dallas TX. The crowd was left speechless. No one knew whether to clap or cry (in a good way). It was unforgettable.
Fucking incredible band. Soundscapes, the purest textures of color and tone that words can't describe. Simply beautiful...the kind of beauty that makes you cry because you are at peace with everything when you hear, see, touch, smell, taste, that special place we all have inside of us. What would the world be without music? I'd rather be dead than to find the answer to the question. Some things can't be taken from you...music is one of them. It rests in your heart and your soul...forever.
avedic Danke. Music is my oxygen, my sustenance, my therapy. Without it, I would've been dead years ago. Music, like math...is absolute and UNIVERSAL. Thanks for your comment, cheers!!!!
Perhaps their "signature" song. Purely majestic. I didn't think I could love it any more until I saw them perform it live last year. That took it to a whole new level. The whole crowd was hushed in silent amazment of the beautiful sound they were hearing. Best concert I've EVER been to.
SouthwayJunebugg's Lyfe me too, I feel like my life has been just a piece of poop. And somehow I've been cursed to live a life of sadness and pain. Like if god punished me:o and then get I listen to this and I feel somewhat a sense of peace
One of the best Pieces of music ever written. To me they are singing It’s I alone, It’s I off alone… Still gets me through the days after all these years. It’s interesting because it can mean whatever you want
Many moons ago, I was experiencing extreme writer’s block for just over a month but had 2 15-20 page papers due for a couple of Philosophy honours classes. This track randomly came on one of my playlists and the words started to flow. It sounds crazy put I placed this track on a loop for about a couple of hours and both papers just wrote themselves. It was magical and I am forever grateful for this fabulous musical masterpiece.
Just watched the film again and had forgotten how great this track is. What a re-connection absolutely a timeless classic that moves every emotion. live life live long.
This song proves to me that there can truly be happiness and sadness at the same time. Imagine a good and bad feeling which can not cancel each other. You would think these forces truly would leave you at a neutral position in any case but the fact of the matter is that it leaves you in a lost parallel axis only to find that truly is it as bad as it seems. Good does not always defeat evil as your mind bounds you to a cerebral prison in which escape is impossible but rather punishable by death.
One of Sigur Rós best songs, if not the best. They are one of my favourite bands, I been listening to them during the years of my growing and still listening. Ingentingsång, så jävla vackert.
I understand! As a matter of fact I just got married and this is the song my wife walked down the isle too. Between the way she looked and hearing this song at the same time...It was overwhelming!!!!
My 12 year old cousin laughed at me when I first told him of this song. Now, he thinks its the coolest thing ever. Funny how music like this can reach to people of all ages.
We brazilians use that word very often. Just now I received a text from a friend saying he feels 'saudade' from me. We havent see each other in, like, 1 week. But for me this song is all about nostalgia, the feeling you get that the past was always better than the present. And the 'saudade' you get from places you knew when you were young, people, feelings... All that. It's a mix of feeling, actually, you don't know if it is happy or sad, is confused. it is a mixed feelings sensation.
Une des musiques qui me transporte le plus. Cette chanson fait partie de ma vie. Je peux sourire tout en ayant les larmes aux yeux en l’écoutant. Merci Sigur ros ....
Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since i've heard this. Reuniting with music like this after years is happy and sad at the same time. I'm grateful to have it back, but sad that I abandoned it for so long.
Look at us… I’m frozen & you’re dead… and I love you…. It’s a problem ….. Remember what you said… “every passing minute, is another chance to turn it all around” I’ll see you in another life, when we are both cats ❤❤❤❤
Will always remind me of my freshman year in college, fall semester 2001. Right around 9/11. Vanilla Sky came out around that time too, with this song being used at the ending -- when they're on the building and we see the montage of his life. Great song, brings me right back.
With out a doubt...One of the songs to be played at my funeral. Funny how a band using a nonexistent language can touch us all. Thus is the power of music. Long live bands like Sigur Ros.
I like that interpretation. This song is always the crutch I go back on when life is a bit shit... helps me wallow in my depression but somehow get a strange pleasure of it.............possibly my favourite song of all time.
Jonsi is singing in what's called Vonlenska, or Hopelandic, which they describe as "gibberish lyrics" that fit the music, kind of like scat singing in jazz. The phrase that is repeated in this song, and throughout the ( ) album in some form is this: "You xylo, you xylo no fi lo. You so."
One of those songs that'll stop you in your tracks to listen. By the time it's over you feel like you've had an out of body experience cause your thoughts have probably taken you far until the song ends!
+Sandro Santoli that may be the point.....could someone give a name to an ethereal out of body experience?....to me this song is what would be playing as the gates of heaven opened for me

This just made tears swell in my eyes, I hope you find each other in this life or the next
@@jaesindnb6197 ❤️
Awww... I hope you guys find one another again!!! My heart hurts for you... I'm still in love with someone I'm no longer with!!
@@jenniferhoernke1433 Thanks so much; I wish you a lot of happiness
Que hermosa historia has vivido.....aun con la perdida sufrida fuiste afortunado de tenerla a tu lado....
This is the song. The ultimate song.
The most beautiful song in the world.
Tienes toda la razon
Agreed
This song is so nice that my wife and I used it in our wedding. This is what she came down the isle to. Right at 1:06 is when the doors opened and I saw her! Between her and this song I lost it and just broke into tears!
Me and my wife used it in our wedding also, my brother suggested it
Beautiful i can feel that 100%
This song is part of the soundtrack of my life...I love Sigur Ros!!!!
this kind of songs have the perfect combination of sadness, liberty, peace, hope, pain, loneliness, love, strength and forgiveness... its simple and complex, like itself... just ear and feel... take your conclusions.... excellent!
Just like life.
One of the greatest songs of the past 100 years - in the top ten, easily.
MadCarrot no....he’s pronouncing the song title...which I obviously can’t either
100% agree. In my top 5
8 years later, and still true!
I agree
Fucking truth I found ( ) by accident when I was like 17 and it changed my world
I want to live a real life.. I don’t want to dream any longer. -Vanilla Sky
See you in another life when were both cats
I named my daughter Sigurrós Lena!! You all have a nice weekend. Cheers from Iceland.
I ♥️ Iceland
What's that mean in English?????
@@williamsmith8041 Sigur Rós directly translates to Victory Rose but a common name in Iceland and is also the name of Jónsi's sister.
I'd like to live on Iceland. Such melancholic weather and scenery there. Cheers from Balkans.
Beatiful name......
This song is out of this world, probably my favorite ever!
I want this played at my funeral, been a fan of Sigor Ros ever since I saw Vanilla Sky.
Pure genius!
Spinksy,I hope they dont have to play it for many decades
I'm brazilian and I totally agree with you. this song is really unique and it evokes the feeling of "saudade", the saddest word in portuguese.
Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around.
Its actually creepy how good they are live.
Magic.
Yes
Right..they are amazing in concerts

youresuchajerk Concordo. Essa música é muito "saudade", muito nostálgica. Ela me lembra dos tempos calmos da infância
Saudade is not a good thing! You get stuck in a place that you don't know and, therefore, you live in a imaginary world where everything is beautiful and ethereal... And that's bad because you're living a lie and not living at the same time, trust me I'm Portuguese...

This song makes me think/remember all the friends I've lost over the years or grown a part from.
2019...and will always be here!
When life throws bricks at me , i still find myself coming back to this beautiful song . Thank you for reminding me who I am .
I remember seeing them 20 years ago at the Granada Dallas TX. The crowd was left speechless. No one knew whether to clap or cry (in a good way). It was unforgettable.
Wow, I'm jealous.
I travelled through light
I travelled through light; I am not afraid
In this lake of souls
In this lake of souls, I lose all fear
That's the perfect word for losing something that belongs with you.
a masterpiece. world is lucky to have sigur ros
I wouldn't be able to stop crying if I got to hear this live.

sydIRISH So very well said my friend. I'd add more, but you pretty much summed it up....with eloquence. :)

sending shivers down my spine every single time.
briliant, brilliant music.

My friend asked me if people knew what he was singing. I asked him if he was listening.
Even at my lowest point og life, this song brings back my spirit....

Brett Y. abre los ojos
I want to live.
I found this video and immediately started scrambling through the comments looking for my fellow people
I'm frozen and your dead
I'm sure there are people out there that have heard this and never seen the movie
The most wonderful song ever!!! I love it... :)
One of Sigur Rós best songs, if not the best. They are one of my favourite bands, I been listening to them during the years of my growing and still listening. Ingentingsång, så jävla vackert.
Thought they wouldnt b able 2 top Glosoli...but they sure have with this song! Awsome stuff! Love it, thx for posting
I understand! As a matter of fact I just got married and this is the song my wife walked down the isle too. Between the way she looked and hearing this song at the same time...It was overwhelming!!!!
This song hurts, it is so pretty that hurts, can not explain
I love this song, everything abour Sigur Rós is amazing!
how fucking epic would it be to see them live... words cannot express the love I have for this band...or this song.
such beautiful music.
Superb. Saw them last week in Kansas City and they're still awesome.
Epic...sheer brilliance...the height of human creativity and spirit...one of the greatest musical compositions ever...thank you for posting
I'll tell you in another life when we are both cats
My 12 year old cousin laughed at me when I first told him of this song. Now, he thinks its the coolest thing ever.
Funny how music like this can reach to people of all ages.
As close to a modern day Pink Floyd as we have. A group that truly knows how to bring emotions out in the simplest way! Beautiful!
Love it,i have no words to explain what i feel about this lovely song...
We brazilians use that word very often. Just now I received a text from a friend saying he feels 'saudade' from me. We havent see each other in, like, 1 week.

It's a mix of feeling, actually, you don't know if it is happy or sad, is confused. it is a mixed feelings sensation.
this is the real example and description of "EMOTIONS"... no words can describe better than this song..... thank you
Une des musiques qui me transporte le plus. Cette chanson fait partie de ma vie. Je peux sourire tout en ayant les larmes aux yeux en l’écoutant. Merci Sigur ros ....
Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since i've heard this. Reuniting with music like this after years is happy and sad at the same time. I'm grateful to have it back, but sad that I abandoned it for so long.
this is amazing. as always.
Me encanta , me hipnotiza ❤️👏
Anyone who thinks Jonsi is a "bad" singer... go see one of their live shows and you will eat your words. his voice is angelic and bone-chilling.
Cannot believe this CZcams video is *_NINE years old_*. Time....where did it all go??
avedic 11 years now. Time is still flying by like the merciless bitch it is.
12 years now
13
Now 14 years
18 years
How could anyone possibly dislike this.....
greetings from America.American music makes us move our feet but this,although I don't know the lyrics,MOVES MY SOUL. thank you so much for this
It is probably one of the greatest scenes I have ever seen, and alot of it was because of that song. You are very right.
Look at us… I’m frozen & you’re dead… and I love you….
It’s a problem …..
Remember what you said… “every passing minute, is another chance to turn it all around”
I’ll see you in another life, when we are both cats ❤❤❤❤

This song reminds me of those beautiful time in life
that completely sums it up.....
PERFECT AMAZING EXCELLENT !!! Can't find the words to describe it ! Absolutely Brilliant !
by far one the best bands i have herd, they almost seem to make the soul weep and rejoice all at the same time.
Excellent song, I just love it... Sigur Ros are definitely one of the good bands out there.
Amazing. The live version is simply perfect. Good to know his vocals are as good in person as on the record... unusual.
With out a doubt...One of the songs to be played at my funeral. Funny how a band using a nonexistent language can touch us all. Thus is the power of music. Long live bands like Sigur Ros.
I like that interpretation. This song is always the crutch I go back on when life is a bit shit... helps me wallow in my depression but somehow get a strange pleasure of it.............possibly my favourite song of all time.
Love this song 🙌❤
my third favourite song from this album, ebow and untitled 8 being joint first :)
DUDE I KNOW! I'm going to see them. The 23rd is going to be the best day ever.
beautiful. the notes touch the electric circuits within me.
I don't meditate, but this song makes me feel everything; it is as if I become the music, that I gain a perfect peace and knowledge.
Jonsi is singing in what's called Vonlenska, or Hopelandic, which they describe as "gibberish lyrics" that fit the music, kind of like scat singing in jazz. The phrase that is repeated in this song, and throughout the ( ) album in some form is this:

which means what?????????
Enjoy the beauty of simpleness, this is a lesson for every musician of any level.
Simply love Sigur Rós !
this melancolic beauty blows me away
this song is beautiful....they hav gifts beyond any other
One of the best songs ever written..!!
this is the sound of letting go...
Love this song forever ❤️💕🌼
my buddy caught dude's bow when he saw them in spain. had it hung up on our apartment wall at school. really cool.
One of those songs that'll stop you in your tracks to listen. By the time it's over you feel like you've had an out of body experience cause your thoughts have probably taken you far until the song ends!
same here, well put.
Magical ✨
I am charmed with this song! Jonsii puts so much feeling to this song, Sigur Ross far the best group I love them
1 word... magic
seriously, they are incredible life. i really had to cry, when i saw them yesterday
This song brings me good thoughts
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing in 2020
awesome!
the song made the ending to Vanilla Sky absolutely perfect.
I want to believe there is some beauty left in this world.
Orphan Black brought me here. The finale with Sarah and Kira was so Bloody AMAZING!!
wow, i´m speechless, this can´t be describet with words...
i still think about david and sophia till this day
How can something so beautiful not have a name?
+Sandro Santoli that may be the point.....could someone give a name to an ethereal out of body experience?....to me this song is what would be playing as the gates of heaven opened for me
