This just shows to us that no matter the age, the year, the simple moment, anything can be done as long as your heart is free and you fear no consequence. Why grow old and feel that life is over when, in fact, you can renew yourself into a second "being" and enjoy yourself to the simple end? Thank you Sigur Ros, been a fan for years, and forever more.
If you notice, the people they pull the pranks on are the band members :) They guy with the bike at beginning is the drummer, the man who opens door is the piano, and the store clerk is the guitar/singer. I couldn't find the bassist tho :\\
I love the way it all happens under a gentle sun. It's like showing the elderly are in the twilight of their lives, and living it all with such innocence and happiness like if they were born yesterday.
This can cheer you up no matter what. Even after Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence; or even after the saddest song ever: Alpha Blondy's Mystic Night Move.
This band is outragiously awesome. The videos and music confounds me, too. I dont think in all my years of listening to music, I could compare this to any one tune. Its absolutely fabulous. The music itself is all alone in its own catagory. Simply said, "I just love it!!"
Dear god, this song is the most amazingly heartfilling inspiring song I. have. EVER heard! I found it yesterday and since then I have listened to it AT LEAST 55 times. No joke. It's that good. I feel like ranting more about it, but y'all probably wouldn't like that. xD
this song makes me feel 5 differet emotions at once theres sorrow and just pure joy very little words can describe this song and the only one i know that scrapes the surface is phenomanol
I mainly listen to rock and roll/punk... but there's something amazing about this song.. I can't explain it, it's just beautiful... wish I knew what it meant though. I think Hoppipolla means "Puddle Jumping" or something, not sure though.
amazingly beautiful song. i know alot of people say this but i cant just express how much songs like this makes me feel..... it reminds me of feeling in love...
i guess this is one of those kinds of songs where you really dont know what its about, it onky depends on what you think it means. This is a rare kind of song, definately buyin it
Most of it is in Icelandic, but there is some "hopelandic" (a made up "language" that's not really a language cause it has no real words or meanings or anything).
I'm not really sure how this song makes me feel. It reminds me of some kind of sorrow but it seems to have an underlying 'move on' message for me. I suppose its different for everyone.
Same posiion as you mate. Its pretty, erm... special? its good that it doesnt have an official meaning, it lets you think about whatever applies to you... :)
This song was on the munster rugby dvd. Brings back great memorys.The song seems to have the great power to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck
I may describe this as a very "Appealing" song. I just watched Penelope movie on dvd and I heard this song on the ending part..It just caught me and I searched it ..and now I'm here.Even I don't understand the lyrics but I must say this is great music that appealed me within few seconds I heard it for the first time.thanks for posting!!
Is it just me or is the singer the shopkeeper at 1:27?
