language may be irrelevant, or maybe not... i think in this case it is integral to the uniqueness of the sound. and anyway i feel like i know what they are saying. i dont need to understand the words, i can feel it. language-universal-harmonic-sound.
Sigur Ros is an amazing band and their muic is beautiful but judging by some of the comments sigur ros fans are really pretentious and full of themselves.
Let the world of television invade the lives of those who know not what harm it is doing to their tiny fragille minds.
Let all who are strong of heart, and pure of thought, cast aside those demons of hypocrisy, and live in a world, a realm, of their own construction...and be truly free.
@Hellishcrusade I gave up television a year ago and I can say I am a much more free spirited person. Life without television not only allows us to be free but to spend more time living life the way it is meant to be with family and friends.
@rimdog379 - Good on you. It's days were over long ago.
I liken television...that daily dross... to the last hours of an all-night party when all the fun people have gone home, or elsewhere..and only the drunk, the sad, and the pitiful remain....hoping for one last dance..or chance of bliss.
Yea, I don't have a television anymore either. I may watch something on the internet occasionally but it is usually something I want to watch (like a documentary or other things that broaden my mind) as opposed to something that is just on. I have a lot more time on my hands to do things productive and more fulfilling.
@christinayeoh Haha, yea but the internet is better because I have more control over what I want to consume. I have learned many things over the internet. My brain is actually working when I'm on the internet, and there's not as many ads. Sorry if that sounds too defensive.
@theBunnyboy 2nd part: We find our goals, put down roots Undress our hearts We go out into a good day We plant and we give life and we blossom With our hands out of the pockets in earth you delve Now we remove ugly thoughts Time heals all, gives life, kindles fires Burns souls No longer cold, alive again My soul comes to life, paint(s) the world
I hope that now I am not just going through a Sigur Ros phase. I want the music to be this beautiful each time I listen. As long as there is hope, I think that can happen.
@pavelluiz I think we're being exactly what we need to be right now.. though it may sound harsh, this is all but a way for us to wake up. Some are more environmentally conscious, and some others are not, but I don't condemn those who aren't. It is a catalyst for great change, and I believe that we are on the edge of something bigger, and better coming our way. Growing pains are known to be painful.
Don't give entermymind00 thumbs down just because he's giving his opinion. He's no insulting the band or anything. I can imagine a lot of people that wouldnt find this cover attractive
some of thier songs are in either Icelandic or Hopelandic which is a language created by them consisting of words with no meaning, so you can make of them what you want... i think =P
all of their song are either Icelandic or English. im from Iceland and i sometime dont understand the words right away.. little to streched and mingled to other words in the same sentince.
You just proved there point, the album represents that the human body is natural and should be nothing to be ashamed of, but today's society has made it out to be only perverted, sexual, and only meant for lust.... They are trying to show that, that shouldn't be the case.
I always just make my own words up for the songs and sing along, one day a song can be a lovely positive song, but the next the same song could be really dark and sad, depends on my mood.
In many of their songs, including all of the tracks on brackets (), they do not sing in Icelandic, but, just use syllables from an old Icelandic language. In the album booklet for brackets, you will notice all of the pages to be blank, they mean for you to write in what you think each song and lyric means.
Þú sefur alveg til hádegis Þú deyrð en lifnar við Laufblöðin breyta um lit Þú finnur til, ferð á fætur Íklæddur regnkápu Þú heldur út í skammdegið Þú rífur úr hjartarætur Sem þú treður á Með hendur í vösum Með nóg kominn Í votu grasinu geng Þangað til
For anyone interested in understanding the lyrics, and continually asking oneself "WHAT IS HE SAYING?", try checking out page 3 of comments to this video, thanks to dylanofwomen. Thank you, dylanofwomen.
i love how this isn't as high-pitched and anthemic as a lot of their other material. it's nice to hear them make slightly different music, everything they do is soooo beautiful.
Well, If you're familiar with languages like Swedish, Danish or Norse then it'll be a tad easier to learn Icelandic. But otherwise it's rather hard for a foreigner to learn.
it's not true. Icelandic grammar is realy easy! it is said that one of the hardest languages to learn (in the world) is chinese and lithuanian. well, I'm lithuanian, and maybe just for me icelandic is easy...
well, chinese (mandarin) grammar is the easiest i know... and the finnish grammar is very similar to the turkish and náhuatl. eventually i think any grammar of any language seems easy after understanding its structure.

to become a tree a tree so big
the bird nibbles on all it can be
it withers away into eternity
its gone away not meant to be

Walking in wet grass until

Burns souls
No longer cold, alive again
