Jónsi - album interview and making of

[StainlessSteelStyle]

The one. The Original. Jónsi.

Can anyone imagine someone like Jónsi, except this very Jónsi?

I can't. He's too awesome

[gmailcoconut]

Who else feels sorry for Jónsi being half-blind?

[RahReplicaGrrrl]

@gmailcoconut

Not really, I dont think hed want anyone to feel sorry for him...

[asterias666]

Nous t'aimons en France ! Please bring us your light !

[chiaotzu13]

amazing person

[123Doodle890]

"If you think positive, the force is with you basically." I love him. :)

[Crazymonkey6181]

The dude is amazing I love his song around us.

[timoney0]

what's the song from 1:38-...

[timoney0]

@timoney0 From 1:30 :)



[ThomVinca]

@timoney0 The song is called 'Hengilas' :) (by Jonsi of course).

[newharborfanful]

I do have to say that "Sinking Friendships" has to be my favorite of his songs...plus it fit in perfectly in "We Bought a Zoo" don't you think?

[newharborfanful]

Is he cross eyed or is it just the angle the camera is hitting his face?

[ReeNaissance]

@newharborfanful yes one of his eyes is blind yet he created the most beautiful songs.

[cultking216]

@newharborfanful he's actually blind in his right eye.

[GRAFFITIcrewCMC]

@newharborfanful cross eyed....



[newharborfanful]

this man amazes me!!!! Is he married?

[ReeNaissance]

@newharborfanful I don't think so. He's currently in a relationship with Alex Somers. 

[Shriex]

@newharborfanful Well he IS Gay XDDD To Alex Somers, they have their own project- Riceboy Sleeps is the album name. You should check it out ^_^

[ReeNaissance]

Jonsi's accent.

[MichaelVickman]

this man could change the world.

[Amoebe98]

I would go to Iceland, I love that country, but I'm only 13. Parents refuse to go on holiday there, too.

[gab3alex]

I just wanna hug him.

[Amoebe98]

"And I think if you think positive.. the force it with you, basically!" How cute can he get?

His music is my fuel and I listen to it every day, he is such an incredible man, I would kill to meet him <33

[TheArchie1492]

@Amoebe98 Come to Iceland, you easily can meet him there. I always smile to him, when i see him.

[gab3alex]

@TheArchie1492 That shall be in my Things to do before I die list. ♥

[FurrZorro]

Josi LIVE! its so funny in this video seeing him talking, he look abit nervous or I guess he is just like that, and he scratches so much xD hahaha he scratches everywhere, his chest, his head, his neck xD Jonsi is totally cute and he has got the best voice for singing ^^

[oxfordye]

He's so cute, I want to just put him in my pocket and keep him there.

[JsoOccEer]

@oxfordye Not sure if dedicated fan, or insane torturer..

[oxfordye]

@JsoOccEer

Both :)

[demonwafflez]

man hes so calm, and i wanna go and slap the guy who lives above him and doesnt like his music

[michellemag83]

No one in this world can compare to Jónsi. I adore him so much.

[skyemcleod1]

I have 2 signed posters of their's. lol When our neighborhood was threatened with fire,I placed them in the pile of stuff to grab fast! I really treasure Jonsi & Alex & seeing them live was an experience for the soul. thankx ;)

[natalieks]

You look up 'inspiration' in the dictionary, and there's a photograph of Jón Thor Birgisson.

[lguitarn]

whats the song at 2:33

[natalieks]

@lguitarn Hengilas, the last song on the album :)

[SteveThePorter]

@lguitarn that would be Hengilas

[Keyaaaah]

Awww. Jonsi!! :D

[GrahamNificent]

I love his smile and his voice and his positivity.

[thejellyfisha]

COLOUR!

[KKOPPI]

song at 02:33??

[GrahamNificent]

@KKOPPI It's called Hengilas

[KKOPPI]

@GrahamNificent thank you so much.

[marshmallowmathers]

@lAmMonsterDog what is the name of that video?:]

[fennifer2005]

HE IS SO ADORABLE!

[drunkmonkey62]

he is so incredible.

[Alejo77H]

To find the 2 viewers who disliked this video. CHALLENGE ACEPTED

[yoshimistu9]

he is love, wisdom and compassion :3

[Joshie102]

Your incredible Jónsi !

[tehcheeseitman]

how does he get his hair to do that?

[IAmMonsterDog]

@tehcheeseitman Oh yeah there's an interview of him where he explains that. His hair has always looked like that. Ever since he was born. He's that awesome

[EnnVatnUK]

Talking to Jonsi would be incredible.

[yoshimistu9]

LOVE, WISDOM & COMPASSION, music manifest in our soul.

[lenalena111]

Wow, I'm so behind. I knew Jonsi had a boyfriend, but it wasn't until now that I realized his boyfriend was Alex. How wonderful!!

[StainlessSteelStyle]

aw, he so bad at English and so shy but so sweet :)

[lenalena111]

@StainlessSteelStyle He really doesn't seem bad at English to me. He has a thick accent, but his English seems pretty solid.

[StainlessSteelStyle]

@lenalena111 Hmm, yeah maybe you'r right. Maybe his accent just made it sound like that. But I mean six years with a english speaking boyfriend you should be a pro °<§:)

[IIG0BLINII]

u lookin at me? hahahahaha

[chickmagnet4626]

he seems so small and weak...and then he is in his music and hes strong and confident = ) im crying tears of joy

[carmenaggle]

this video makes me cry. it makes me cry because there is someone in this world with so much talent.

[certainromance24]

what does he says at 8:50 ? I hear something about Lykke Li, but I'm not sure

[SweedieTjej]

@certainromance24 he said: lykke, he also tried to immitate that

[certainromance24]

@SweedieTjei I think he said "she" as Lykke is a girl, but anyway, it makes me happy when an artist I like names  I like too!

[StainlessSteelStyle]

@SweedieTjej I thought he said " Nico, he also tried to imitate that" ...

[SweedieTjej]

@StainlessSteelStyle possibly I didn't really catch the first word so you're probably right x

[mosskids1]

his accent is so cuuuuute <3 especially when he said the word "R"

[xxXJemxJOXxx]

he is such a great person! i love his delicate voice, he seems so sweet! :))))) his music is amazing!!

[MHaidharulIrfan]

When this Go Do album came out, I was still in college, and I remember walking to classes everyday from my apartment listening to this dreamy, awesome Boy Lilikoi song.

[Clockintosh]

"If you think positive, the force is with you" : )

[inglese29]

Heart-warming guy, I like his positivity

[moshtildeath]

thanks mate, top song!!!!

[STOPtheHORROR]

When he sings in English it actually sounds really good.. so.. challenge succeeded ^__^

[moshtildeath]

What song is playing at the start? i love ittttt!!!! Jonsi is a true musician

[CaptivatingPower]

@moshtildeath the song at the beginning is Boy Lilikoi.

[Contrapment]

Delicat Voice :)

[pinky1494]

Jónsi, you have changed my life. I love you infinitely.

[kimbizzler89]

If I saw Jonsi/Sigur Ros live......I would cry. Lots of tears. Tears of joy and beauty. Someday...I will.

[shortywiccanxxx]

I really like this guy because to me he seems humble and genuinely kind...

[shredderchick23]

@Swiggia AGREED



[DirtyJewbz]

He inspires me. I would want to live life just to make music as great as his. But no one could ever beat is music! hahah.

[Gemins99]

Jonsi is a beautiful person, like a creature emanating a quiet enchanting radiance in his music and speech........I'd like to sit next to him on a train or plane, I get the feeling you'd leave the conversation with a sense of serenity :)

[GriholBAWNK]

The fear in my stomach is keeping me down, bro.

[Gregd8888]

he has crazy eyes

[WLherman]

@Gregd8888 he is blind on the right eye

[shredderchick23]

i love absolutely everything about this guy... his voice, his music, his face, his eyes, his hair, his accent, his talent, his veganness, his icelandic-ness, his little cardigans, his creative outfits, i mean this guy is my hero. like actually

oh and to top it off.... he (and sigur ros) have probably written the most artistic, beautiful, genius music of all time

[SatsukiHitomi]

@shredderchick23 : I TOTTALY AGREE WITH YOU~

[AlexBarton94]

MAD eyes! But great man!

[Hannethuah]

@AlexBarton94 he is blind in his right eye :)

[surfinthefray]

It makes me happy he isnt from a country where most musicians come from ...YOU GO JONSI!

[imgonnakillyoo]

He looks like my father, but Jonsi is way more awesome.

[TheTMVProject]

god there is something about his eyes that bug me

[CoolBreezeFlow]

@TheTMVProject he's blind in his right eye

[awagamgnalaw]

[meghanroxx]

[ThiSs1Guyyy]

[DhieP9]

i'm an open gay for him

[mikeyvinyl]

i dont understand a word

[Browni903]

wow, he has a cool accent and such a unique voice

[JOYWRIGHT]

Gah his accent is so cute.

[JOYWRIGHT]

7:15 ARE YOU SERIOUS! I would PAY to be Jonsi's neighbor. I would never leave home, would just listen to him play music all day and have fabulous raw vegan dinner parties with he and Alex on the weekends.

Bitch...Justin Timberlake my ass.

[JV22ish]

@JOYWRIGHT I agree when i die i want his music at my funeral! and im american!

[JOYWRIGHT]

Damn it. He's brilliant.

[atlasnaaa]

A true artist. We're so lucky to have a musician like him.

He kind of reminds me to the guy from Inglorious Basterds (the kid who's a war hero)... Just a thought haha

[rrpauldoran]

What an amazing thing to be interviewing Jónsi.

Those reporters should be very proud to say they were even in his presence!!!!

[chhau123]

this maybe the only gay person i like

[mircal80]

He´s pure musical genius, far from all those prefabricated puppets with tons of marketing behind them.

[rydallasry]

discovered this guy just recently...first time hearing him speak...and he's just adorable...do a small gig in dallas!?!?

[xentrox]

I want to be a lilioki boy! =)

[bluskyy84]

[NieTa2210]

@bluskyy84 his right eye is blind

[AssassinVegita]

Does anyone know the name of the song that starts around 6:11 with the piano??

[rosaelena91]

@AssassinVegita GO DO!! :') beautiful song :')

[jakkelyd]

Seems like a good guy, his album is excellent.

[xGuppy]

He is so charmingly poetic and has the greatest talent I've ever seen.

[shelbyandmorgan]

what song is at the beginning of this vid cuz i like it

[MrSkyzophrenia]

@shelbyandmorgan Boy Lilikoi

[PatrickJohnPainter]

Beautiful (and believable) modesty. The best kind.

[TheFunFerret]

How can anybody not love his smile :)

[mikamadperson]

10 days until i see Jonsi!!!!

[rafaelschoch]

Come to Rio de Janeiro please!

[knightabraxas]

there is something so unspeakable charming about him, that it is impossible to put your finger on it... what is it about him...???

[pistolkissing]

His concert............ it was pure beauty. I have no words.

[icanfeelloud]

EXPLODED INTO SOME CRAZY LAND

[Fra1s3]

His English speaking is so funny! Sweetest person ever. And yeah, Go is pretty much amazing.

[Vampyr789]

I just saw his concert last night.

It was life changing.

[hosway1992]

I just want to give this man a huge hug for everything he has contributed to the world!! i love you so Jonsi!!!

[gimmeapaw]

I had the opportunity to meet Jonsi last night. What a nice guy. Totally down to earth.  Awesome experience.

[stevenjsmith1903]

one word...... legend

[303username]

Brilliant! Love you, Jonsi.

[DoodleBug2]

What is in the water in Iceland? The unique, quirky, extraordinary talent that comes out of there.... it's unreal.

[Enduran999]

Jonsi+awesome hair+lazy eye+red sweater+Icelandic=WOOOOOOW WOOAH WOOOOOOW!

[11willf]

@Enduran999 he's actually blind in one of his eyes. I forget which one. hence the lazy eye

[Krynnish]

@11willf The right one, I believe. Since birth.

[XBenwaynicheiltonX]

Jónsi is such a wonderful person, inside and out <3

Sigur Rós makes AMAZING music, I could never get tired of it and it will always make me smile. Sigur Rós is my life!

[mikamadperson]

i love it at 9:37 :D

[dadjratleg]

hes amazing and his music is so great i love him and his music

[ShapeShifting]

"If you think positive, the force is with you"

<3

[kazzawee]

Yeah I echo the sentiments, Jonsi most certainly isnt strange - different YES. But who cares, his music is what matters!! Saw him at Glasgow and one word describes the night "Amazing". Sigur Ros are a Band I hold close to my heart, got me through a rough time. Jonsi came at the end of journey and the "Poppiness" was like Party Time for me. All I can say is its all good. Love it!!

[tngregory]

one of the greatest recording artists of our time. beyond nations and continents, above language and words. pure, global and universal. go do is the sound of life itself. building, falling and beginning again and again.

[boatgoat1965]

I saw him last week in Glasgow. It was the first concert I'd ever been to, and I don't think anything could ever top it. It was the most amazing thing, I'm in love with everything about Jonsi! I remember reading that he said there was more solo stuff to come, so that's brilliant. I love his accent. :)

[JadeForMercury]

he's hot. if he wasn't gay, i'd be all over that. for real lol, i want to see the concert so badly! love you Jón!

[StevieG1975]

One of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen..

[sonofmunson]

That neighbour who complains about his music needs a bullet.

[natraiiproductions]

omg his eyes are staring in opposite directions.....wtf creepy

[CoolVallieJean]

@natraiiproductions what are you, seven?

[cdm0014]

@CoolVallieJean no, like 4

[gargavin]

@natraiiproductions

He is blind in his right eye, he's no creepy, he's a real genius!

[lifeisshortbutwide]

he looks like he's talking to a little cameraman on the ground :)

[mikamadperson]

he says 'poppy'! aha! Jonsi said my name!

[spentswimmer]

His conversational English is so impressive. As I recall reading years ago, he used to be the worst English-speaking member of Sigur Rós.

[sharekke79]

@spentswimmer: Probably it's because he's in love with an American guy. Love makes you pick up language easily! ;-)

[ecofreak303]

@spentswimmer it helps when your boyfriend speaks english :)

[hillysats]

Why does he remind me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.

They quite similar.

[12141991]

@hillysats that's exactly what i was thinking!

[sophiafied]

@hillysats Yes. I don't know why, but I was just thinking the same thing.

[paHI657375]

saw him live in Sydney the other day, never been so amazed by something in my life...

[TheOnlyMooseman]

Saw him at latitude; absolutely stunning music and performance - and outfit :) such a cool guy

[mikamadperson]

@TheOnlyMooseman he was at latitude!?!?

[TheOnlyMooseman]

@mikamadperson Yeah, on sunday evening

[mikamadperson]

@TheOnlyMooseman oh my god! i almost went to that! my mum didnt book ticket early enough! so unfair..!

[londonemski]

A true artist. And his spoken English is so beautiful: such clarity and precision. Wonderful flinty consonants in that delightful Scandinavian way. And he plays a baritone ukulele! What more could one ask? Go and see his live show if you get the chance: it is so exciting.

[television07]

I met this dude before he and sigur ros were to perform back in 2003. I came up to him and told him i was a big fan, I just remember how short and thin he was, and how small his hands were. One of his eyes went one direction and his other eye went another direction. That motherfucker looks far out.
