This song brings tears to my eyes, but they are tears of wonderous joy! This song is so powerful, so majestic... But words can't even begin to describe Hoppípolla, or indeed any of Sigur Ros' other material - every song is indescribably beautiful, and, for me, it just sums up the beauty of life, the world, and, well, everything really!
The incredible euphoric crescendo at the end is simply awe-inspiring. This could very possibly be the song of the decade =D
I've lost count of the times I've watched this, yet it still makes me smile and tbh, I always have a lump in my throat, how can it make me happy and sad at the same time!? The music, the subject matter...damn this video thoroughly deserves all the praises it gets
"hoppípolla" from "Takk" with Sigur rós hoppípolla - Jump in to puddles brosandi - smiling hendumst í hringi - twurling around höldumst í hendur - holding hands allur heimurinn óský r - all the world (is) a blur nema þú stendur - except you stand rennblautur - very wet allur rennvotur - all soaked engin gúmmístígvél - no rubberboots hlaupandi inn í okkur - running inside of us vill springa út úr skel - wants to burst out from a shell
I heard about Sigur Ros because i own an icelandic horse, and am very interested in the culture and language. But Sigur Ros is something different entirely, so incredibly awesome and mindblowing! Whenever i hear hoppipolla, all pressure just fades away :)
The video is also really well done; no need to sit quietly at home when you're old, if you can still go out there and have the fun that most people simply seem to "forget" about....awesome :D
this video reminded me my old days when i was a kid and besides it made me realize why i felt in love with my ex-boyfreind is so sad to see how you could lose the ones you love the most when time has gone......
nice... what can i sai about it.... it's interesting as a youth are over and old in the sense that gender violence is to generate fun, excitement to the former, we show the young but is actually shaped by our elders
i totally agree it's uplifting!!! it makes me feel things. sigur ros amaze me they are the only band in the world where they don't need coherent lyrics in order for their songs to be totally moving!!! the listener can interpret their own emotion... it's amazing!!!
Chicane's version is similar to a lump of dog shit. It looks horrible and tastes like dog shit. And then you get the whole album and it really stinks.
i dont agree that it is simple at all, like a lot of people are doing.listen to the layers of instruments in this song its thick and oozing with a well thought out complex synchronisation of a fair few instruments. i dont dislike chicane for doing a cover, i think he has used an already epic sounding melody and used that in a different light as to express it even further, obviously nothing will be better than the orginal but as for it being an abomination and so forth,i think not. peace x
I agree this version is best. its so much more beautiful BUT there is noting wrong with an artist from a different genre seeing that and remixing it. the chicane version sounds good for what it is.
This is the greatest song ever written and should not be copied or covered, EVER. Chicane's version is an abomination - or shite to put it in Glaswegian terms.
I like the chicane version but there is no way it can beat this the original. It's the simplicity of this version that makes it so amazing. Whilst Chican'e's electronic remix is good, the beat takes away the magic that the simplicity adds :) Love this song. GENIUS
great song for the background of football highlights , chicane done a great job with his remix of it he has brought it back 2 life , this is the greatest song ever
This in my opinion is the best song ever made. Such a simple but wonderful piano melody, beautifully sung song with what is the best orchestral breakdown of any song ever. Chicane shat on it, took all the beauty out of it, and replaced it with a repetitive electronic beat. Don't fix what aint broken.
I agree with most of what you have said there, but I highly doubt Chicane was trying to take the limelight from Sigur Ros by sampling it. In all honesty, I think Chicanes release has just shown how beautiful the song really is to the public, many of whom may not have ever heard of this song or of its writers had he not done so. Songs are mixed and remixed every day, and the way I see it Chicane has done a good job. I think Chicanes video portrays how emotional the song is. Either way, well said.
The world has too many people like you, who encourage fantastic songs (this, Goliath by The Mars Volta, to name but a few) to be made into remixes because you don't have the intelligence to appreciate real music. Rant over.
i absolutely love this song, i eventually found out yesterday what it was called after years of trying to find out! Im so downloading it! it alsyws makes me cry, its so beautiful!!! LOVE IT!!!
It's not any language. It's random singing that he does. Since it actually sounds like lyrics, he calls it "Hopelandic". It doesn't actually mean anything.
Some of it is Hopelandic, some is Icelandic, all of it is amazing, and it means what you want it to (the first few times I listened to it I thought I could pick out loads of English :-S )
I first stumbled across this on Classic FMTV about a year ago and loved it, then about a week later i forgot the name of it and have been lokking ever since, I even emailed Classic Fm but to no avail, Then Chicane launched his remix and it the rest is history!! Love this song!!!
Im Really Happy Ive Found This Song Because its been bugging me for a while now cause i had always liked it and ive finnaly found it. However if it wasn't for that remix Chicane did, i never would have found this :)
