Holy crap, that first 9 seconds is the most annoying thing I've ever heard. That needs to be removed from this video. Just ruins the mood for this song.
Anyway, Olafur is so talented in composing! The cello adds so much, it's insane. One of my favorite instruments.
If anyone wants to know more music that's as beautiful as this, I have a good list built up here, with audio posts to some songs to listen to;
found myself at this page after a terrible week of not doing well in my music degree. i was thinking of quitting, after all this time. i felt like i didn't belong. thank you for this video. it reminded me why i was doing this. it reminded me i do have a place in music...however small.
If you like music like this you may like my music as well. Just click on my name. I have a new video out for my track "An Ambulance To Nowhere" which is made entirely with clay. Please dont mark this as spam.. just trying to get my music out there :)
Notas de bella melancolia adornadas por las aves y el cielo ......sombrias notas que llegan a mi alma .....con la mas dulce de las tristezas....................crissilence
Notas de bella melancolia adornadas por las aves y el cielo ......sombrias notas que llegan a mi alma .....con la mas dulce de las tristezas....................crissilence
I managed to get a hold of his new album "And they have escaped the weight of darkness" and much to my surprise this song is on it, however it is called Udan Hulu. The tempo on the album version is a little faster so I prefer this version better!
how can someone make such beautiful melodies ....... makes me want to cry a river and dance all around at one time ... i hope he comes to germany and does a 2 hour-show =)
The Big Bang was around 14 billion years ago. It took that long for the universe to make me and you and Olafur Arnaulds. The first matter that appeared in our universe was hydrogen. In the fullness of time we are only here for the briefest of moments. I just expressed my joy at the coincidence. Was that simple enough for you or shall I break it down further?
la simpleza de la musica ..hace vibrar y llenar de melancolia cada rincon del corazon.......sentir esa magia es simbolo de sabiduria del ser luminoso......
The intro ruins this. I can't stand it when people add shit intros-- hell, I can't stand it when they add an intro at all--to songs. Especially when the moods of the intro and the main song are as different as they are here. There's no excuse for this shit.
@radio19952001 I wish you nothing but happiness and success in your life. I hope you make millions of dollars in a week, and that you live in a large mansion with a beautiful wife and wonderful children. Please enjoy the rest of your life.
@dunch34 Everyone can have their opinion... but to say "There is no excuse for this shit" - isn't that a bit harsh, and even disrespectful, to the musician?
@dunch34 speak for yourself. This song reminds me of the moments that I wake up in the morning and look at my girlfriend - a girl that is utterly perfect for me - who I will lose in December as she lives on the other side of the world... it's great joy, mixed with sorrow
+ he made several songs for Heaven Shall Burn's CD Antigone and he composed Awoken on Heaven Shall Burn's CD Iconoclast AND he composed a song for 65daysofstatic
@Atemporal sure, i had to do a midterm paper for my philosophy class about where i stand in several philosophical dieas such as wether i was a duelist or a humanitarian . It was extremely helpful to have this song because i was frustrated at some point on my essay and then i found this in one of my brakes. I tried typing while listening to this and it all just came to me....
I've seen him in Warsaw last year, he supported Sigur Ros. I was amazed, I hadn't known him before, this music enchanted me. The purity, simplicity and emotions included in his music made me feel...incredibly. So I was amazed when, after the concert, people have written they had almost fallen asleep when he had been playing...I was shocked.
It's a shame that he was playing only about 30 min...I could stand there for over 3 hours and just listen to him.
I can't believe so many people view and so few take a few seconds to say-thanks. For this beauty from a country full of it. The scenery, the music, it's people.
