  • Moral: Doesn't matter the age you can still do childish things.

  • Farewell, season one

  • @DenyDenDenzel Hello, season two!

  • fuck sigur ros' videos always make me tear up

  • 1:08 HAHAHAHAHAHAH

  • Muy bueno, muy bueno

  • Joyous Happiness was "written" here

  • 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.

  • Happiness can be found.

  • so peaceful:)

  • i think takk was sigur ros's best album

    in which hoppipola is simply amazing

  • it means 'jumping into puddles' in Icelandic. Amazing song, the chicane version is good too, but for different reasons, originals are always better.

  • its about age, and growing old, bnotice the people and autumn leaves, but they act like kids, our bodies might grow old, but the mind stays young,

  • já

  • yes!

  • Love the clip with those old people doing kid and teen stuff =D And the music's so cool, that Iselandic has some mysterious.

  • any way to get the music for this with no singing? :}

  • yea. there's an instrumental cover by chicane called 'poppiholla' .. its pretty nice

  • Cool vid. But the volume sucks.

  • What's wrong with the volume?

    Sounds fine to me, loud and clear.

  • lol thats why im lisnin to this through a marshall stack amp lol ahaaha

  • when the old woman takes the sticker thing off the wall and you can see the birds she looks so cute and happy

  • The live version in the Heima dvd makes me cry. Always.

  • þetta lag er fallegt.. Mig langar til að stökkva núna

  • But, ITs not Hoppipolla,

    IT's Hoppipollur. That's true Icelandic. But in order for American Computers to read it correctly, most Computers Turn Pollur into Polla.

  • america suks

  • I Used an Icelandic TRanslator and IT came up as 'Hopping into Puddles' As a correct Translation.

  • Redemption.

  • ahaha xD old people are awesome :]

  • beautiful :)

  • One of the most breathtaking songs I've ever listened to.

  • hermosa cancion pero el video de la cancion no =D

  • coomo no¬¬

  • Es por ke no entendiste el video novato

  • hoppipolla means jumping in puddles or somthing like that.

  • Yeah

  • It's on the Penelope soundtrack also

  • ..what's this supposed to be about?

    I saw this song in a trailer for Earth [2009], and it sounded really peaceful :D.

  • does anybody know what language this is and/or  what hoppipola means?

  • Icelandic.

  • It is Icelandic as someone already mentioned and wikipedia says that it means "Jumping into puddles". :)

  • 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.

  • anyone happen to know who is the director of this video?

  • Arni & Kinski

  • The people from Slumdog used this song! Thank GOD there's a director that has good taste in music.

  • wes anderson used sigur ros too, in "the life aquatic with steve zissou"...

    the music he used was staralfur, it's a beautiful song too

  • i can only hopie that im doing cool shit loke that when im old...yeah this song is used in alot of commercials and previws

  • hopping in puddles....

    Innocence regained!

  • the meaning behind this song is so beautiful

  • something about the start of this song gives me shivers! it is brilliant!

  • SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!!

  • This song is used to advertise SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE on TV, but it doesn't appear to be in the CD of the soundtrack.

    Is it used in the movie?

  • it's been used in other previews too like Planet Earth and Children of Men, it's not in their soundtracks.

    The song is just too beautiful that they put Hoppipola on the Preview

  • This is what I'm going to do whenever I'm old.

    :)

  • 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

  • @pinkdiamonde liten to sigur ros, THEY R awesome, not just this song

  • this is the most beautiful song i have ever heard.

  • Beautiful

  • Absolutly incredible. The greatest video/song ever made =)

  • Old people making mischief. I love it!

  • "hoppípolla | hopping into puddles"

  • piękna piosenka...

  • 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

  • This vid almost made me cry!

    Sniff

    Amazing

  • omg this video put the biggest smile on my face. I love this song

    *tear*

  • an absolutly amazing song. :)

    so moving :)

  • Greatest Music Ever Made

  • simplemente una cancion hermosa

  • hoppípolla means "hopping into puddles"

    The song is simply beautiful

  • at times like this it makes me proud to be half polish 8D

  • i dont really get the link what it has to do with being half Polish.

  • Because the artists who made this song are polish. -.-

  • i thought they were from Ijsland.

  • Sigur Rós are from Iceland

  • polish??? HAHAHAHA

  • 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.

    Either way, awesome song.

  • Where do I am, right now? And who am I?!

  • this video is totally awsome..

    5 stars

    favorites <3

    =D

  • i am in love with this song. i am actually crying right now it inspires me so much...

  • 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 cry everytime i hear this. and not just cry. i bucket it out. beautiful song tho

  • I'm the same :)

    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.

  • wow this is a great song...also it on penelope the movie

  • I wonder if I'd be such a "gangster" when I'm old ... :-D :)

  • Very good listen,

    I am very impressed

    They done well, thank you for sharing,

    I gave five stars

  • one of my favorite songs

  • this song reminds me of achieving something with hard work

  • wow is all i can say

    i'm 14 and even i get a strange feeling when i hear this song

    and to top it off i normally only listen to proper rock music, this is amazing

  • 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... :)

  • you dont need to be young or old to feel moved. Somethings, they just touch you exactly in the heart

  • 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

  • tears come to my eye happiness and sadness

  • the beauty of this song is indescribable

    I like this song playing at my funeral too!

  • 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!!
