  • I love this song, and the video is just PERFECT.

  • is this the beautifull videoclip ever made?

  • aawhwhwh so cute

  • this video is fucking amazing, and the song is even better...

    sjhsfdjs!

  • Younsters, learn with the old!

  • 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 think this song deserves that the 'dislike' button would be removed.

    Love this song, love the spirit, love that its autumn (fall) and that its so relaxing and happy. Like it's Hoppipolla, you know? :)

  • łobuzerka nie śpi

  • I find it quite heart-warming to see the old people trying to re live their fun childhood days.

  • i'm sorry but you don't 'dislike' this song, you just don't.

  • 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

  • If you love sigur ros videos you must see the short film called "the last farm" by Runar Runarsson.You can find it on google videos.

  • =D that is all =D

  • <3*

  • Live.Life.Large

  • /This song should be humanity's anthem.

    /Esta cancion deberia ser el himno a la humanidad.

  • Simply main

  • once when we where born.......once will die......twice we become kids:D

  • Feels like "Glosoli" for the clip :) Love it.

  • ..a song to cry, and to smile, in the same time

    and the old people, who don't care about age, and death, just being joyful, and young on the inside.

    amazing song

  • Outstanding!

  • It's only a matter of time before some Hollywood asshole tries to use this concept for some shitty Madonna video.

  • have you heard the remix?

    it's very nicely done, but this just has so much more kick to it!

    (it misses jonsi's voice for one, and they don't build it up as much as with this song)

  • Realmente traviesos!

  • amazing!

  • I think the meaning is: it's never to late to feel lucky!

  • los abuelos son mas tiernos que los niños

  • Its a great video.. Can any one tell me what this video means.. is it like getting back to your young age or something?

  • the rough translation is splashing in puddles - its about never being too old to play and have fun. amazing song and great live too

  • Thank you :)

  • Man, this is the cutest song and video I've ever seen! Actually got a couple of tears in my eyes from watching it ; )

  • This is a sign that you never really grow up :). And like it!! :D

  • song is bloody amazing, so is poppiholla, tune is just amazing, gives u a rlly good feeling inside :) both of them

  • beautiful T.T

  • This is a great song with a wonderfull video =D

  • vindurinn - the wind

    og útilykt af hárinu þínu - and the outdoor smell of your hair

    ég lamdi eins fast og ég get - I punched as hard as I can

    með nefinu mínu - with my nose

    hoppípolla - jumping - into puddles

    í engum stígvélum - with out rainboots

    allur rennvotur (rennblautur) - all soaked (very wet)

    í engum stígvélum - with out rainboots

  • "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 can see Vikings who should be dead but are not dead yet :). I just don't know why

  • Por que el ser verdadero esta dentro de nosotros !Hay que dejarlo salir!

  • Hin fullkomna hljóð virðist vera undir sál mína þegar ég hlusta á þennan anda

    innblástur ... Bruno frá Suður-Austur-Evrópu.

  • this is art ..

    5 *****

  • 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

  • does anyone know what the song is about?

  • @whinger1234 lol

  • @sletskebar7 lol

  • Cool. I would call Hoppipolla, the foreign-language song of the decade.

  • It's not a foreign language to everybody... :) Call it the non-English song of the decade.

  • excelent !!!

  • Never t old to jump in puddles!!:-)X

  • Wonderful song!

  • smiling...c:

  • love the song <3

    Really cheers you up!

  • The video put a smile on my face :) You can always have fun, no matter the age :)

  • i luv this song , .... GREAT! tha viedo is Brilliant aswell :D

  • It's so great to see Captain Iglo is this clip :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

  • ayy como escriben poemas pinches gringos, es excelente esta rola

  • aww...i love this vid...remember the first time watching how sweet

  • Why do people argue on youtube? Its as pointless as buying a dog and barking yourself.

  • ROFL right you are mate lovely comment you made me laugh !!!

  • @brodhurste huh theres nothing pointless about buying a dog and barking yourself

  • I have no words to explain how this song makes me feel ... just beautiful, unique and perfect... Jo

  • I think almost everyone has heard this song, and rightly so, it is brilliant.

    Most people have heard it but don't know what it is called, so they can't search for it.

  • Fantastic video. Just stunning.

  • where is this filmed? I want to go there...

  • Iceland were the band are from.

  • This is the kind of music that makes you want to cry, in a good way... :)

  • 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!!!

  • defo agree

  • Brosandi...

    Hendumst i hringi...

    Magical ^_^

  • I like Chicane's version, but I think he owes 90% of the credit to this song.

    Great stuff.

  • dose hoppipolla mean something in another langauge?

  • It's Icelandic for "Jumping in Puddles"

  • Such an awesome name :)

  • 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

  • ADO chile

  • 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.

  • well said :)

  • 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.

  • While I agree this song has been overused as fuck, it is amazing, sends shivers down my spine when I listen to it.

  • a load of old farts behaivin badly

  • LOL

  • Classic.

  • This is so me when I'm old!

  • can anyone translate this?

  • its a made up language,jón þor says he just makes up sounds that fit with the music

  • Hoopipolla is in Icelandic, and it dosent mean final fantasy!!

  • well i must be thinking of a different sigur ros album, done some research apparently hoppiplla means to jump in puddles

  • well, thats what i heard, sorry to get on your nerves.

  • I know Hoppipolla means final fantasy...

  • chicane is what is bad about music

  • but not for me

  • and that just goes to show your an idiot

  • lol what a fag for me it shows that u r idiot too bcs u don`t like that moron xD

  • pardon?

  • oh sorry wrong man

  • I know it all comes down to opinion. you have your own opinion and thats fair. I like poppiholla but i dont see anyway that it is better than this.

  • 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 wonder why chicane have more views than this then??

  • Because people like you have no soul and look at whatever is in the top 40. It's Publicity.

  • i choose song which i like not all 40 like you think

  • But i answered the question why poppiholla had more views, not why do you like this song. Besides, that's what you'd say.

  • Hitler was bloody popular during the second world war- does that make him good?

  • hitler...you find right things to compare i just say you cal me like i am only one who like that song

  • What the hell are you talking about?

  • sorry i write it with very hard words for you sorry man i hope you will spend your next 30 minutes good while trying to understand this good luck ;)

  • Sam, you sound like a real intellect.

  • Lol.

  • well said

  • i adore this song

    i can play it on piano (:

  • 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!!!

  • brilliant! :)

  • Brilliant Video and amazing song!!!!!

  • It's from the film, Penelope (:

  • this is the theme tune to some tv program in the uk, like planet earth maybe, cant qute put my finger on it

  • yeah planet earth . comes from sigur ros excellent album takk .

  • woooooooo Planet Earth  it's a great show (and planet)

  • It's on the advert for the RSPB at the moment, but it's used for a lot of BBC documentaries, like Planet Earth, as you said.

  • Good Tune.

  • kool

  • wt language is it in im confuzzled :S

  • As far as I'm aware it's Icelandic.

  • 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.

  • however the title means "jumping into puddles" as does "hoppi polla" whenever he sings it

  • doesnt mean anything ??? u can get a translation for these lyrics ? they are not just gonna sing jibberish are they

  • Quite a number of Sigur Ros songs are sung in 'Volenska' but this one is mainly sung in Icelandic. :)

  • Well, yeah actually, they do sometimes. As weird as that sounds.

  • 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 )

  • fuckin amazing song, i absolutely love it,

    05leftlj, its in icelandic

  • Then why look it up and pollute such a fantastic piece of music with your own stupidity?

  • whats the language its in?

  • well its from Iceland, im not sure what you call that. Icelandish i think : D

  • Keeping the inner child alive ;-). Great....

  • best musical song i've ever heard you through so many emotions listening to it

  • you've heard none musical songs?

  • lmao!

  • It is quite simply, the greatest piece of music ever written. (IMO, obviously).

  • I loved this after watching Penelope, somehow I was left crying from the happy ending and this music lol.

  • 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!!!

  • great song

  • This song makes me feel like I'm flying. I love it.

  • love it

  • POPPIHOLLA

  • what?

  • its hoppipolla the remix is poppiholla this is better because its more relaxing to listen

  • YILL KOURSELF

  • A remix of the classic, 'Kill Yourself,' very nice ;)

  • Why thank you. I'm thinking of releasing it as a single. lol.

  • Very Emotional Song and probably my all time favorite song. Whenever i listen to it, it brings back childhood memories i thought i had lost

  • couldent ave put it better my self mate its awe - inspiring

  • it took me 3 years to find the name of this song its the most beautiful thing in the world

  • video is funny lol  old people being young people

  • brings a sparkle to my eyes.... reminds me of good times that that i can only wish will come back.

  • 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 :)

  • exact same thing here
