[kkeruak]

so beautiful big eyes! and voice of course.

[lessermammals]

a voice to be reckoned with

[ofbigcities]

I like her more than Lady Elaine

[yuopija]

Anyone knows what the song is about?

[frndyourmom]

it`s the best i`ve seen last time!!!!!!!

[Starfishluvsyou8888]

@AmericaRuinsYou

You make me feel bad about being an american

1. You're homophobic

2. You have no class

3. You're so close minded towards foreign arts.

4. You just got pwned

[richievegas01]

Cool song. Check out psychedelic all-girl group Stealing Sheep, like Olof Arnalds relocated to England. youtube.com/watch?v=WIvFzQjDB0­U&feature=related

[MinesAGuinness]

@richievegas01 Going to see both of these acts today at the Great Escape festival in Brighton!

[richievegas01]

@MinesAGuinness I'm jealous! Sujan Stevens is playing as well. That should be amazing. Have a few pints of the black stuff while you're there. Stealing Sheep's new one I am the Rain is really cool as well. youtube.com/watch?v=K2JgXLizs1­4

[sh1ftyedits]

sounds like a dying rat

[vishva12m]

WOW... WOW she is incredible! She has a voice I have never heard before! The voice and the tune puts a smile on my face every single time. Makes me ecstatic and gives me goose bumps. I heard her on NPR some time back and I never get bored of hearing her voice again and again...

[starLouw]

Amazing!!! :)  :)

[uber0rdinary711]

Can't we just get along?

[limerickguy123]

@AmericaRuinsYou you are the perfect reason why the civilised part of this world hates you and your country...

[THEOLDBROKENTREE]

Just bought the Vid Og Vid, album marvellous-a woman at last , as opposed to a woman who would rather be a man!

[mcbibble]

@THEOLDBROKENTREE dude, seriously, what? leave your baggage at the door man, the rest of us just want to listen to the pretty music. Besides, as far as you know she could be singing about abolishing the patriarchy and dismantling the gender binary or somesuch.

[THEOLDBROKENTREE]

@mcbibble A good point, i dont know what she's singing about and i am a bitter old man, i just dont find aggressive women very attractive or one's who use sex and stupid video's to sell there crap music.Like Kylie or Lady Ga Ga, i dont see why that should bother you.Im all for talented women, but talented women dont need to get there tit's out!.

[Kiragano]

where can i find the translation :(

[AmericaRuinsYou]

i never really liked german songs until i heard this

[japan31]

@AmericaRuinsYou it's icelandic you idiot

[AmericaRuinsYou]

@japan31 wtf is an icelandic? if it aint american, then its foriegn, and thats just about all there is to it.

[japan31]

Répondre à cette vidéo... It's jerks like you who have ruined the USA

[AmericaRuinsYou]

@japan31 i dont understand any of that monkey language, here in america we speak englisho, comprende?

[japan31]

@AmericaRuinsYou I thought my monkey language was perfect for your monkey brain, never mind. I dont live in America so i dont give a shit of all your "here in america we speak englisho ".

Arrogant, racist and narrow minded, let me guess ... you are from the Tea Party dont cha ?

[AmericaRuinsYou]

@japan31 no youre monely language is perfect for your barbarian village in europe or whatever, im surprised you even replied back so fast, i thought each village only had one computer that all the villagers had to share.

im from the south, and dont you ever come down here talking shit about the tea party, boy, cuz you gonna get shot. sure as spit.

[japan31]

@AmericaRuinsYou Haha you are so funny, but let me tell you this: in our " barbarian european village " we dont shoot people because of their opinions, that's one of the reason we are considered as civilized people, i'm not sure we can the same about your peole. You are just a bunch of old fashioned cow boys with guns. However i would love to come there to throw that shit about the tea party in your face !!!

[AmericaRuinsYou]

@japan31 what you have there is not an opinion, its downright hate. you hate us americans for being the last civilized paradise on earth. you hate america for being the most advanced country in the world. you hate the fact that your backwards standard of living isnt up to par with us. you guys live in mud huts, while we have houses.

youre right, if you ever come down here, me and my boys will get all cowboy on your ass. i have more guns under my sofa than your entire village.

[japan31]

@AmericaRuinsYou I just have pitty for guys like u, your life must be so miserable, you must have been frustrated in your entire life to speak the wat you do, it's really sad. I've been to the US several times ( cause we are rich ) and there are things i liked some i didn't, that's normal but i still think european way of life is better than the american which is too mind numbing. And i think Canada is way more civilized than the Us

[AmericaRuinsYou]

@japan31 well sorry if you eurofags are more into living like rats in your broke ass towns. and how is canada more civilized than the US when they live in igloos all days and hunt seals.

[Sveitagoth]

@AmericaRuinsYou ummmm, I think you have to update your knowledge of canada sir...igloos and hunting seals. lol...

[mcbibble]

@AmericaRuinsYou You . . . have no idea, do you? Japan is famous for being one of the most technologically advanced countries on the planet. At the height of their "great depression", unemployment remained low at around 7 or 8%, if memory serves. What's unemployment in America? Their exports and industry remain impressive, where as America increasingly relies on a tertiary economy while cities die from the inside out as your robber baron corporate leaders sell your living. You know jack.

[bobsta49]

sounds like a chipmunk on acid

[hottdam]

@funkeykong A 8 string Ukulele i think.

[funkeykong]

What instrument is she playing?

[yanpan16]

@funkeykong it's a charango. 10 strings in 5 sets of 2 strings, from south america. not an 8 stringed ukelele. =]

[soccerdude349]

I love it, but wish i could understand haha

[andiejanefisher]

Her profile looks a bit like Milla Jovovich

[HighFashun]

Sounds strangely like hindi

[asteel01]

Just saw her in concert. She puts on a pretty good show.

[buiski]

weird...

[Beeba170]

I going put this on repeat. For the rest of my life. And I have no clue what she is even saying, but it's so beautiful it doesn't even matter.

[riserobot]

@Beeba170 Yeah, sometimes knowing the lyrics really can ruin a good song.

[atrumpetwillsound]

@riserobot no it cant?

[riserobot]

@atrumpetwillsound My statement was a relative one. But I'd like to see your explanation on how a song can't be ruined by knowing the lyrics later on. This should be interesting.

[atrumpetwillsound]

@atrumpetwillsound to have an argument at all i'd have to have first heard a song i like that was ruined by knowing the lyrics.

[andygaras]

reminds me of some of the old sudanese music

[oliveriosteinn]

the dude is wearing my shirt and Ólöf is great.

[mcdeadsquirrel]

Listen to her BBC "Strand" Interview 14 Sept 2010..!!!! She is Great!!!!!! and has brains!!!!

[ButThatBelt]

Seriously beautiful.

[Hereinyoutuification]

THIS MUSIC HAVE SOUL

[ChiSakura]

Her voice is cuuuute :3

[Sindrijo]

Kemurðu bráðum ad heimsækja mig Klara? Hvernig væri nú ad leyfa sér að fara Í góðan gír... saman? Láta sig dreyma um ævintýr og gaman Blýantinn dregurdu æðislega Eltist vid ídeur ævinlega Ungar og æskurjóðar Auðvitadð eru svo myndirnar líka gódar Láttu nú vaða med tónlistina Klara Spilaðu einfaldlega af því bara þú ert bara átján vetra Og allt sem er gott er bara að fara að verða betra

[Trampaz]

holy shit, amazing!

[MisaJaJa]

[Tatty6182]

[dizave1225]

What an amazing artist, her voice is just enchanting.

[RICExCRISPY]

if only i could understand what the hell she was saying.. nevertheless freakin chill

[fickleparoxysm]

It's also perfect for cheering you up if you're on the verge of tears.

[fickleparoxysm]

This song makes me very bubbly, like I'm floating.

[octoberhsu]

Very very very very very beatiful !!!
