I went to Reykjavik without knowing Olafur would be there, I was outside this building looking at the lake when Olafur appeared. He said to me "If you had come earlier 1hour I would had invited you in, we just recorded the last song for Island songs". Bad luck I guess :/, but he's such a great guy. Beautiful song as usual...Don't ever stop doing music please. Cheers from Portugal.
You are in rare air as first degree of separation I mean. From now on anyone who gets to know you will know you were with the man himself --olafur Arnalds while he was making this heavenly music❤ very cool
Believe in you. This is the moment to start to become a better yourself. Not yesterday, not tomorrow but now. Everything that you're going through is teaching you something. Have faith in the path, I know sometimes it's hard, believe me, but it'll be worth it. Peace and love.
When I first listened to it, I was like "man it reminds me of something else" Took me 3days to find out, it sounds a lot like the ending of Bastille - Oblivion (Live At Capitol Studios)...
Oh wow thats great. I always thought that that’s a better way to market music like the music Olafur does. In film, documentaries, smaller video projects, etc.
This song is the only song that has EVER made me cry. I'm 16 years old, and life is starting to become stressful, but this song makes it all better, and I feel so many emotions simultaneously when I listen to it. This song is beauty in its finest form, and I will never get sick of this song.
Every time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps all over my body. & at the end of the song I actually have to catch my breath. What I feel when I hear this, is indescribable!! It does not happen often that a song brings tears to my eyes, but this song actually made the tears come down my face. It's like it touched my soul. I wish I could live in this song. Thank you Ólafur Arnalds !
I wrote this after hearing this: This beauty gets me closer and closer god’s staring god’s listening how divine is this feeling as I loose myself in this beauty and I’ll be at peace as long as I can be with it
Oh god, I will die of happiness if I ever see Ólafur and listen to his music in real life! He is so fucking amazing, incredibly cute and very talented.
This song makes me think of how I'm moving on from the hard times in life and I'm slowly approaching the best in life! ❤️ and knowing I'm 16 and probably the only kid in my home town who listens to him and mostly just classical music fascinates me. Thank you for making beautiful music.
I just met a man from Russia that teaches piano and he sent me this video to have a relaxed and calm night. Well let me say, this put me into another place and time. Outstanding just outstanding! Thank you Olafur..you have a new fan!
Saw him twice in concert in 2014 and each one was magnificent! Blows you away... fan of 7 years and Olafur keeps sounding greater and greater 👍🏼 Cheers
It's been an amazing journey, thank you so much for letting us be part of it. Such beautiful, emotional and evocative music is so special, feel very privileged to experience. Thank you Olafur.
You... You don't actually know how much happy you makes me. This is so beautiful, the best musical experience I've had since years. Thank you, thanks so much for your music, I'm so glad you create this pieces of art.
When I hear this song I am back at that special moment in time when I was young, full of life and there was only love. I want to thank you for this song , for showing me the beauty that was there in the past... And yes I have tears rolling down my face right now, but that's a good thing , it means I still have a good soul.
well i would actually. just because he isn't as widely known, doesn't mean he isn't as good. and besides, mozarts music was mainstream at the time. he had the advantage of a naturally larger audience. with arnalds however, the genre is the same yet it is in less popularity. keep it up ólafur, your music is brilliant and makes me proud to be icelandic :))
I just came back from the Philippines and I already miss my family so much because a played this a lot there. This song brings back memories. No wonder I chose this song to play, it sounds so rich but complex, I love the random piano note that just says “hello” every now and then.
Your songs are simply beautiful, aesthetic, and breath-taking. I totally love all of them.. Thank you so much for composing Olafur :) This song fits perfectly for studying! Motivating and feel-good!
I remember watching this in the airplane. It was a hard time for me, I was leaving the city I grew up in and the people I love the most behind. This gave me some sorta peace and hope. Thanks Olafur :)
Every time that I hear one of your videos, it's like if your music was able to healing my broken heart and every piece of it is fixed with your musical notes. Thanks for making me feel alive and for sharing your magic with us.
Que hermosura de música . Amo a olafur Arnalds. Cierro los ojos, me transporta a un buen momento hermoso, respiro y siento un placer por la música más grande.

Wow
Oh God.
Woah what a crazy story!
Oh wow. I am actually soo jealous.
You are in rare air as first degree of separation I mean. From now on anyone who gets to know you will know you were with the man himself --olafur Arnalds while he was making this heavenly music❤ very cool

I appreciate you
❤
Children, this is why classical instruments are cool.
trust me, the right children know
I, for one, know
I'm not sure MIDI driven pianos count as classical.
@@liteoner at least the fortepiano is still classical, it plays the digital signal but plays the same sound
+1
This song has me crying over memories I've never even had
well said
It has me daydreaming about thoughts I hope will come to fruition
Perhaps you are still sleeping.
I hope everything is well with you Olafur... your music brings me comfort in times like these
Whenever I'm tired, sick, exhausted this song gives me hope that things will get better! Thank you, Ólafur!
The music progression is just mesmerizing. No rushes, no panicking, just play calm
When somebody asks you what music really is, show him this.
people will learn to appreciate stuff like this someday and this man will be famous.
I think they did 300-400 years ago
@@Agret wym?
Agreed, but to us who already appreciate him, he already is!!! ❤️
That feeling, when you're the first to hear something that could be called "pure beauty".
Those six piano chords at 1:38 ... Genius.
He's kind of a master of chord progressions. He's also a master of not overdoing it and not rushing.
Just simple and perfect. Evokes all emotions.
When I first listened to it, I was like "man it reminds me of something else" Took me 3days to find out, it sounds a lot like the ending of Bastille - Oblivion (Live At Capitol Studios)...
somehow those notes make this song transform from something simple into a complex, evocative, and unforgettable piece.
I heard it once from the Shawn Mendes documentary and instantly knew this is a masterpiece. Shazam ed and here I am.
same!!!
Me too ❤️🥰
Oh wow thats great. I always thought that that’s a better way to market music like the music Olafur does.
In film, documentaries, smaller video projects, etc.
Same✨
Welcome to what’s beautiful on this earth!
It's always been magic, touch every heart...
Icelandic music is different, it speaks from the heart
Thank you olafur, greetings from Indonesia
Just beautiful. I walked down the aisle to this song and every time I listen to it I love it even more.
This song is the only song that has EVER made me cry. I'm 16 years old, and life is starting to become stressful, but this song makes it all better, and I feel so many emotions simultaneously when I listen to it. This song is beauty in its finest form, and I will never get sick of this song.
I don't know how a single piece of music can contain within itself both emotions of happiness and sadness. That's where its impetus lies.
Every time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps all over my body.
& at the end of the song I actually have to catch my breath.
What I feel when I hear this, is indescribable!!
It does not happen often that a song brings tears to my eyes, but this song actually made the tears come down my face.
It's like it touched my soul.
I wish I could live in this song.
Thank you Ólafur Arnalds !
If my life had background music. . . This. This would be it. Emotional; almost tragic. . . And yet, oh so hopeful and beautiful. 🖤
this song is the definition of beauty. sounds like hope and freedom
Perfect song to ease your mind and float away into a better place
I wrote this after hearing this:
This beauty
gets me closer
and closer
god’s staring
god’s listening
how divine is this feeling
as I loose myself
in this beauty
and I’ll be at peace
as long as I can be
with it
The space- time transmitting one melody,is the singular idea of a sound.
does anyone else feel empty without a new piece of art every Monday morning to look forward to? :(
Oh god, I will die of happiness if I ever see Ólafur and listen to his music in real life! He is so fucking amazing, incredibly cute and very talented.
This song makes me think of how I'm moving on from the hard times in life and I'm slowly approaching the best in life! ❤️ and knowing I'm 16 and probably the only kid in my home town who listens to him and mostly just classical music fascinates me. Thank you for making beautiful music.
Be the one to share it with them! I have yet to find someone that is not moved by at least some of his music. :)
I was in your shoes when I was in HS -- never be afraid to share because it's a part of you.
As a 23 year old that is now getting out of a nasty depression, yes, it does get better :). Good that it came for you sooner rather than later.
Same buddy. Don't be afraid to express it
TonyTheEntertainer ! You're such a special snowflake..
Once you've been touched by truly beautiful music there's no going back, this is it right here
I just met a man from Russia that teaches piano and he sent me this video to have a relaxed and calm night. Well let me say, this put me into another place and time. Outstanding just outstanding! Thank you Olafur..you have a new fan!
Saw him twice in concert in 2014 and each one was magnificent! Blows you away... fan of 7 years and Olafur keeps sounding greater and greater 👍🏼 Cheers
Wow! Just wow! Look how all of the people are sitting there, listening instinctively. Sure wished I was one of them. Beautiful!
This guy is very special... Islands will be ordered....sheer beauty.....
i just realize that my tears came down to my cheeks while listening to this. too beautiful
The ghost on the piano is really killing it!! 10/10
That change that occurs right around 1:33 is gorgeous
My fav of Island Songs

I've been listening to this excellence on loop, Olafur's short but poignant melody towards the end is rejuvenating.
This man is à genious of music !
I wouldn't go this far
NFbnn Why ?
Marianne M If he was a genius you could compare him to Mozart...
well i would actually. just because he isn't as widely known, doesn't mean he isn't as good. and besides, mozarts music was mainstream at the time. he had the advantage of a naturally larger audience. with arnalds however, the genre is the same yet it is in less popularity. keep it up ólafur, your music is brilliant and makes me proud to be icelandic :))
Keegan his music is way less complex and technical
Absolutely beautiful and uplifting, like light dancing on water.
This series has been soothing to the soul. Wish it didn't have to end. Thank you Ólafur for creating such beautiful masterpieces for us to enjoy.
Hey olafur ! Your music is special , It gives me something comforting and calm in weak moments.
This is one of the prettiest songs I know
Very rarely do I find a song that manages to put a smile on face as this one has. Amazing work these past few weeks.
