    of spain.

    congratulations for the video, The Music of Sigur RÓS IS MAGICAL

  • i shall now save this to my favorites

  • Absolutely powerful video. One of the best I've ever seen on youtube. Thanks for the upload.

  • alot of this was taken from the heima sigur ros dvd =/

  • @Buju561 so?? it's a sigur ros video dahh

  • nintendorks101 - unfortunately, what I mean by best countries is the following:

    1. Countries that are not Empires.

    2. Countries that care about the inequities of income and standard of life.

    3. Countries that give a rats ass about ALL of their citizens.

    4. Countries that do not wage endless Wars of Aggression against innocent people.

    5. Countries that care about ALL of the citizens.

    6. Countries that do not torture.

    7. Countries that do not bomb.

    8. Countries that understand the Earth is ...

  • jonnimag - I mean immigration policy. It seems that the best countries to move to have the most restrictive immigration policies. Can't say I blame them.

  • @SCOTCHSOLACE what do you mean by best countries

  • pink floyd must have inspired them I'm sure...I got a big PF vibe here.

  • amazing...perfect song choice. really liked it.

  • Personally, I would move to Iceland in a heartbeat. I am, unfortunately, a citizen of the Imperious USA. I do not blame them for not accepting me or my family. Sigur Ros - thank you.

  • @SCOTCHSOLACE What do you mean by not accepting you ?

  • Very good video mate.

    But I died a bit inside... 

  • incredible..

  • Love this song so much, Check out my Sigur Rós & M83 Videos, Hope you like them youtube.com/user/JoySki87

  • Loved the video! Love you song! But, call me immature if you like, it made me feel the urge for world domination :s

  • please!! I need the lyrics of the song!!!

  • GermanPeoplePerson - it is what we "humans" call civilization. Please read a book called "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn - he is quite perceptive about the "human" condition.

  • @SCOTCHSOLACE

    Excellent read! Thank you, I had forgotten his name.

  • it not only kills people, it poisons the earth within range of the attack for many years to come, destroys animal and plant life, murders the defenceless. it sickens me, but its human nature to be violent, and nukes are only going to progress in the years to come.

    welcome to the world.

    besides nuclear weapons, there is capitalism and pedophilia and poverty. its not the only bad thing.. its just part of the whole problem. the human condition.

  • there isnt any such thing as 'peace'. throughout the ages, humans could never coexist. tribes/settlements would always challenge each other, even in the very beginning of the upright homo. human nature was always the same.. it was just the weaponry that changed. nuclear weapons are just the modern sort of weapon. NOTHING could change human nature. i find it a crime against everything, nuclear warfare. -c-

  • nice video !

  • This video is amazing, i absolutely love it. Very good

  • we just got out of our caves few houndred years ago tbh, and we just started to prosper... than drugs came in.. than profit came in.. feels like a rape that habbend 10 years ago..

  • on iceland, we wure nothing but native litle earth bound creatures trying to survive and help ech other build our shelters and aprichateing anything the land had to offer.. and in the meanwhiel, our worst fears habben over the sea.. thees nuclear explotions.. reactor explotions.. radiation.. man made horror we wouldnt had dreamed of.. for the lousyest reasons. if you wanna kill a man, at leest do it with dignity. and look into hes face.

  • I think it's appropriate how African people were showed primarily because they would be the first victims if anything like this happened. Research has shown that even a tiny war between India or Pakistan with 100 small atom bombs on cities would cause enough smoke to lower temperatures enough to cause mass starvation of the bottom billion poorest people. There could be a nuclear war between Britian and France and 90+% of the people that would die wouldn't even be in those countries.

  • we need PEACE forever

  • ba sno senza parole

  • Thats artist work, both music and video.

  • No matter if war is right or wrong, those that can't kill are always subject to those who can.

  • war is not good.. we have a chance to live together with peace...nature finds its way its true but this does not mean that nations should attack each other.. may peace be upon us...

  • It´s a shame - it´s a pity - it´s inevitable. The universe (of which we are just a minute part) is evolving according to it´s own method. And NOBODY (not even God) knows the outcome. So why don´t we just enjoy what we have while we have it and each person act according to their principles.

  • war is only natural all living creatures fight its the natural way of population control

  • @dudman66 You're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupidYou're stupid

  • I've been watching this video for many years now,and it stil shocks me in awe...

    For my sake: you were the winner in that contest...

    Cheers!

  • Thank you :)

    Really appreciate it!!

    Cheers! ^_^

  • @anthonynemer

    You won, hands down, on subjects too important to stand idly by on...thank you for sharing this footage and raising awareness.

    Today is May 26, 2010, and Iceland still has massive activity and a huge back plume from eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull volcano, a natural disaster, here in N.America, 5 weeks of gushing oil: "Top kill" plug readied for the final attempt to stop a massive gushing crude oil man-made-catastrophe that no one can predict the long term effects on the world-sad

  • @anthonynemer WOW!

    Absolutely Stunning!

  • nuclear deterrence anyone?

  • Wow, excellent video. Very powerful

  • this is not on heima........

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @keithc71 wow. for real? typical.

    anyhoo...good vid. GREAT SONG. well done.

  • @quatros1

    >implying pink floyd is good enough that they're worth comparing anything to.

    come on, dawg we all know pink floyd is mediocre at best. Just because they're your favorite band doesn't mean they are good.

  • No, just because everybody thinks that: Sigur Rós are very good, but Pink Floyd is/was the best band ever. Listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond and you´ll understand. More classes?

  • @chetbaker84

    Pink Floyd really is a take-it-or-leave-it band. I leave it.

    It's hard to convince people that they should be fans by telling them to listen to something.

    I mean, I can whine at my roommate all I want : "RADIOHEAD ARE GOD!" but she'll still listen to Cobra Starship. Such is the world.

  • great video...

  • EXCELENTE PROPUESTA

  • anything CAN be art, but not everything IS

    this, however, is

  • I agree with this video. I support wars and soldiers of all countries throughout history, but I don't support the use of Nuclear Weapons. Troops not Nukes. There is no beauty, no art, no skill in the use of a nuke.

  • But there is beauty and art in war, in killing, in the intervention of foreign affairs by us when we have no part whatsoever?

  • @CamerOneiric beauty and art in war and the politics of war are not the same. Like when an artist makes a painting, the art is what he's doing, not why he's doing it.

  • @CDBigShow I am utterly confused by your reasoning, war has no art. There might be art in the tactics, and good intentions may possibly arise within the jusification of war, but war itself is regression; in no way is it art.

    Art is a harmless way of expressing what one can't put into words.

  • @CamerOneiric I don't know how old you are, but you should join the military for a contract. Don't join the airforce or the navy, if you want to understand what I'm saying, then join the army or marines. There are plenty of jobs that aren't combat if you fear death, but when you join, you will begin to look at things differently.

    You seem smart, you aren't arguing like a nitwit, so that is why I suggest joining the military to you. If you want to know what I mean, then see it for yourself.

  • I apologize for coming off like a bigot. I just loathe violence, whether justified or not. I have considered joining the military, not from any political conviction, but to understand the degrading areas of the world in a better way.

  • Do it, one thing you will become is wiser. You will travel the world, see and do things you thought you would never do. I urge you to try, if you want to get the best feel for the military and understand war, join the Marines. You won't go wrong. I went to USMC boot camp in california and its awesome, they can't hit you, just yell at you and its not at all as bad as Hollywood makes it look.

  • Comment removed

  • The Art is everything... Imagine a nuclear mushroom. Art by bad and unforgivable intentions. Art creates emotion and feeling and so war does.

  • NO dude he meant "art" like the "art" of war the "art" to killing. He meant art as in the WAY you do something. He didnt mean art as in paints and mediums and canvases.

  • I know, I was being a stubborn ass. haha

  • @CDBigShow But there's not really any beauty in war either is there? War is devastating. It rips communities and families apart and destroys lives. I don't see that as art.

  • then I won't bother with you, someone who can't see war's beauty will never understand or respect it. Go on believing war is evil, but remember one thing, in the Bible God created war, He told the Israelites to destroy every kingdom in their land and not just destroy the kingdom's armies, but kill the women, children, and even the livestock.

  • @CDBigShow

    Art creates aesthetic emotion. Present in all art, these emotions are interpretted by the viewer differently then the artist would see them. Therefore, CDBigShow may see art in war, and you may not. It's all where you look at it from and who you are looking at it.

  • @CDBigShow That sounds like man talking not God. If God did do this then I do not want anything to do with him. I don't see any beauty in dead woman and childeren and if you don't think that in itself is evil then you can't be helped.

  • you're SICK, closed-minded and very dumb if you think war is art, I can't help but crying about this 'cause it's so disappointing after the two very brutal world wars ...

    I'm from Germany and although I'm far too young (16) to be part of this nightmare I can see the emotions on the contamporary witnesses's faces when they talk about their living and dieing in the concentration camps or battle fields

    Yes, I´m abel to FEEL something 'cause I'm a human being, but you ?

  • Comment removed

  • @CDBigShow Ok then. I'll go on believing killing innocent people is wrong. I mean obviously I'm wrong because you say so, but I rather like my opinion better.

  • well ya, killing innocents is wrong, in war its called genocide, with nuclear war that's mass genocide. A nation should never have its military target civilians, no matter what flag they stand under, but when civilians pick up weapons, they are no longer civilians. I really suggest you join the military, see for yourself and you will learn.

  • @CDBigShow Sorry dude. Mormon, not big on military.

  • its like if I said I don't like soccer, but never played soccer. I can't really know what I don't like unless I signed on for a contract.

    You can do a small contract in the reserves, you will live near family and just one weekend a month you go to the base near your home. Just go talk to a USMC recruiter. There are different contracts that you can do of different periods. You won't turn into a robot, I have lots of friends in boot camp who were mormon and I am still close friends with them.

  • ARE YOU AFRAID OF SOMETHING?

    I really don't want to offend you but as I'm from Europe I can't understand the Americans at all...

    I mean such quotes like 'be proud of your nation', 'defend your nation against the terror etc.'

    Why is it necessary to kill other people whether they're innocent or not?

    Is it just my childish naivety to hope all humens could life together without war?

    ( No I'm not a 'flower child', I just love my life and I respect other's)

    Sigur Ros is LOVE and PEACE forever

  • I'am from America... And I pity America as a Nation of people.. It's not just America but it's the whole world.. The fact that every human will die to protect their little precious possessions.. And not noticing that when our day do come.. There is nothing we can do about it.. Bcuz we will be the one's to destroy it our self by selfishness..

    REPENT NOW.... REPENT FOREVER

    SIGUR ROS NOW... SIGUR ROS FOREVER

    LOVE NOW... LOVE FOREVER

  • @punkymaus please don't stereotype Americans. we're not all like that.

  • Just so you know not all americans are like that :p i'm american and i believe we should all live in peace and harmony but with some of the people on this planet its not possible...

  • There is tons of money to be made in war. If there was no profit in wars, wars wouldn't exist.

  • I think that this video was a good idea. Of course, this subject touches us all, anywhere we can be in the whole damn world.

    What makes me think the vid wasn't that well made is that the message isn't so clear. Was there something else behind all this than only a protest to mass destruction weapons ? There is alot of beautiful images, with the intense part of the song synchronized with the explosions, but if this is everything... the film ain't that genious.

  • ich bin ein fan von SIGUR ROS

  • Around 3:00, It reminds me just a little tiny bit of Pink Floyd, another band that I love dearly. Sigur Ros <3

    Also, fantastic video.

  • What an awful comment.

  • You're an awful man.

  • i am with you on nuclear weapons, they should be taken off the surface or r planets

  • Perle :P 1:33

  • Comment removed

  • awesome vid, if you did make this you really used a nice collection of sources.

  • Amazing Group, opens the right side of the brain, through their melodies, lyrics, and videos. Very nice!

  • Sigur Ros is really A GREAT BAND! Not only do their songs touch my soul but make me enter into a sublime state of mind and completeness!!!

  • great video, it really reflects the sphere / theme of the song 5/5

  • That gun that goes off like 1 minute in scared the fuck out of me :P

  • you aint kidding, think i jsut soiled myself, being it is 2:35am lol and my folkd are asleep... amazing!!!

  • lol same. i was just about to fall asleep and then BOOM.

  • omg the same thing with me

  • This is definitely one of my favourite song of sigur Ros..The atmosphere is so cold but at the same time just beautiful..They are pure genious, their songs guided my through years now, and I still love every single second of their songs..!

    This also might interest some of you who like this kind of music...I found a band on youtube some days ago..It's called "Nyctalgia".

    ALl of you should listen to their song "Falling into nothingness".

    Amazing newcomer, that deserves more attention..

  • I just looked them up, very cool.

    Thanks.

  • 0:54 I`ve got scared... xD

  • me too!! haha

  • You really make this video?

  • saaaaaaaaaaad

  • superb editing!!

  • EXCELLENT work on the video...suits this song VERY well

  • Nice Video!

  • Well the theory the man has is that possession of nuclear weapons ensures Mutual Destruction in the event of an enemy nuclear attack....DUMB.

  • What language is this? I LOVE it Haha..

  • icelandic, it sets a beautiful scene for their music

  • i've read that they also have some of their lyrics in hopelandic. can anyone confirm? :)

  • THis song is all in hopelandic. It's comparable to scat singing.

  • it isnt actually any language

  • Hopelandic. It's not really any language.

  • What exactly is the point in Nuclear weapons, if not to end the entire world?

  • Even without Nuclear weapons we're destroying the world. Cutting down forests and jungles, putting up dams and factories, harvesting nature to run the parasite that is humanity. I wish we would stop expanding right now, before every square mile is destroyed and conquered by damaging civilization. There are only a handful of places "untouched-by-man." Soon there will be none. Not saying Nuclear fallout is unimportant, just that there are equally destructive forces that shouldn't be disregarded.

  • And I totally agree with you. It's really a shame that we, mankind, have no respect for our home planet...

    Cheers.

  • i think people only respect the enviorment when their needs are met first. this is an issue on everyones minds, however no one takes responsibility or the action to do something about it. its a " its not MY fault"

  • i find a nuclear apocalypse a much darker future than one in which we've ruined our own environment.

  • I find animals slowly being pushed out of existence so we can have our goods and spoils much crueler than an instant planet-wide wipeout. We're very slowly killing the planet little by little.If something isn't done soon, our world could turn into the same barren, post-apocalyptic desert we fear will come from nuclear fallout. It's like a quick painless death as opposed to a long and excruciating drawn out one. The prospect of nuclear war is only threatening because it affects us immediately.

  • love this. brilliantly edited. amazing clips. so impressive.

  • I'm just happy CERN decreased the LHC's power to half... And yeah... Sigur Rós is awesome.

  • wow, what yo have done is perfect, at first a thought that was an oficcial video, is awsome. SigurRos 'til death, or nuclear death...

  • You've done a great job

  • Have you seen White Light Black Rain?

    Great documentary. If you haven't seen it I would recommend you watch it. It's one of those movies I think every person should see. It really opens the eyes to the horrors of nuclear fallout.

  • I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the info :)

  • Awesome!!

  • the beauty of this world is threatened by the horridness destruction of people who are unable to see the truth of things, the beauty of life ..... so sad

  • some of we human animals see various destructive actions as beautiful and true to them - they romanticize war, the competition of the human spirit in this folly of dueling wills and technology, and the resulting death and destruction ---- i know i have fallen under this siren song call to arms at times... just look at my avatar

    certainly the valuing of beauty we can hope supersedes some of these animal instincts that lead us to us/them (other) mentalities and territorial acquisitive attempts

  • this is great,thank you Anthony Nemer.

  • haunting and beautiful at the same time! the right mix of everything needed for an emotional song. exceptional!

  • I love this! Confirms all those fears...

  • rly nice song

    sigur ros rulez!

  • maybe u were or u werent lazy, who we are to judge u, thats the real world, and u make something to show us the world as u see it. I think u did a good job, and yes instead to criticize, maybe we should take the video as a call, i know there is a lot of video like this on utube, but maybe we should stop just to see it as another video and take the action, even just a virtual volunteer, thats better than do nothing.

  • Thank you Harry, really appreciate your comment.

    If only some other people would see things the way you do instead of posting bullshit in order to make people feel down.

    Cheers man!

  • Cheers!!! btw...im a girl :)

  • You're right, I was lazy. Maybe I should have filmed my own nuclear tests :P

    And by the way, everything used in the video is mentioned at the very end.

  • LOL!! yeah why didn't you lazy? hehehe

  • I was more a financial problem then being lazy , hehe ^_^

    Couldn't find cheap plutonium or uranium. plus my backyard is a bit small for tests. haha

  • just...WOW!

  • Well done!

  • Thanks :)

  • we say this as we holding the weapons.. but we do not hold them it is they.. those in power in the governemtns and militaries of the world that hold our fates. we are just the helpless

  • take a page from the irish book and mass riot

  • No war in the world...if only a man understands that this wonderful world in the lonely black space is his home...sweet home...great vid congratulations

  • One of the few vidz i've ever seen that makes me think .... . . .  .

  • I'm honored :)

    Maybe you would like to reply on the last posted comment on this video ;)

    Cheers!

  • video is so disturbing

    music is so sexual

    how can it be? - ;))))))

  • Just imagine what all the US and the Russia destroyed with each nuclear test they conducted. The US alone held over 300 tests. Many of the once thriving islands we tested one are now nothing but radioactive sand.

  • really easy to disappear in this music, amazing...

  • simply AWESOME!!! Anthony... BRUTALLY GREAT video!!!...

  • Thanks a lot man :)

    Really glad that you like it!

    cheers!

  • this isthe future with North Korea and Iran

  • geuiles video

  • The only way to prevent inevitable MAD > mutually assured destruction is, TO ALOW ALL COUNTRIES TO HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS !!

    Impossible to understand, but truth !!

    Fear of each others potential would keep all in peace !!

  • Really? if all countries would have nuclear weapons.. all we need is terrorists randomly attacking and plunder all kinds of warehouses.. then what? boom.. bye bye.

  • I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for a psycho terrorist to steal a nuclear weapon and hold the world to ransom.

  • That idea is one of about three major theories (key word: theories) about international relationships, and is simply one way of describing how power might be balanced globally. Most believe that the best offense is in fact NOT the best defense in the international sector.

    And countries* is how its spelled.

  • This song continually blows me away. I just wish I knew what they were saying.

  • Tis likely in Hopelandic. A language Sigur Ros uses that doesn't have any meaning. You're suppose to extract your own meaning. Abstract Lyrics I guess?
