sigur ros hoppipolla and mea bloanasir live on jools holland

[JosPeters]

My nose started bleeding once during this song... That was one of the awesomest moments of my life

[Sara10393]

shit is magical.

[2280phil]

My wife walked down the aisle to this. Love Sigur Ros, beautiful x

[turebz]

I'm a metalhead and even i think that this is one of the best bands ever.

[fzappa007]

Oh MY Bloody Nose !!!..//-)&*(%^&*%#$@%!@%

[MrIstiko]

This is what I love about this song:

I fell happy and free even I don't know what they say

[hammerwest1010]

Arguably the best band of all time. In that noone has ever done anything like they have. Magical stuff

[gonoszcerkof]

apparently, 49 out of 859,307 people are soulless bastards.

[augustusfernandez]

I just love the way that the song makes me feel, i have a heart full for someone that can love a the song just makes me feel good beside my sadeness!!!! One Love

[FreksLP]

man, am i dreaming? is this the heaven?

[thelundking]

it must suck to have to perform right after them. whatever you do will just be shit after that crazy beauty

[ShiverShOcK]

Yesterday the new pc of my brother arrived... when i surprise him with this, this music was played ... he was very lucky :)

[iamaweasel]

Just the dog's nadgers - and check out their Inni 'live' album for a full-on, bobby-bonkers aural experience.  Popplagid is almost life-changing on this LP (yup, vinyl apologies all round). Magesterial.

[MrMortada92]

thumbs up if u heard this because of mario !

[cinema19806496]

Mojémonos las botas!

[justacuriousboy1]

what an ugly language... what beautiful music

[TheFrankMcQ]

@justacuriousboy1 thats a bit bias

[justacuriousboy1]

@TheFrankMcQ it's true... same for German, horrible language. English, Spanish, French, Italian sound so nice. Chinese, Japanese, Punjabi, Arabic, Urdu, Swahili, Zulu all sound so gross

[TheFrankMcQ]

@justacuriousboy1 i guess, i quite like german coz it sounds really strong, english isnt nice in my opinion but italian,spanish and french flow so well.

[canascot02]

@justacuriousboy1 You two are crazy, I think the language is beautiful and sound so amazing as well as the music.

[MrShaundavison]

Just incredible- makes me want to be a child again and go hopping in puddles!

[ReXaZz]

don't even know what he's saying but i really love this music ain't that awkward? lol 

[MrJuuberi]

@ReXaZz They dont even know it themselves. He sings his own language and he improvises all the "words"

[04smallmj]

@MrJuuberi Some songs are Icelandic, some are hopelandic (gibberish). This one is Icelandic...

[inkpink]

@Ndjumbah there are ample opportunities to experience the expertise of talent. You decide...

[MrColdheadRadioplay]

Why is this not in the RADIO???

[Ndjumbah]

@MrColdheadRadioplay cu< people just love stupid shits....:(

thank god we are not like em..

[MrColdheadRadioplay]

@Ndjumbah

your right it feels so good when you r unique among ppl. Its strange cuz the only music I listen to is sigur ros and Radiohead. I just can't stand listening to any other shit!!!

[ketillbolli33]

Með Blóðnasir is the original title... !

[Electricdual]

Yeah

[TheLinkmaster12345]

Because the world's biggest penis really matters........

[WrExPro]

A breathtaking experience.

[updownnm]

Everytime I listen this song, It give me chills

[lukerr87]

Probably the best song ever made.

Stunning.

[lukasmayo]

Haha I was listening to this on Youtube while The Scientist by Coldplay was on the CD player. The intro piano part of Hoppipolla happens to sound awesome over the start of The Scientist. Just a random observation :)

[topsycret223]

I'm so so happy when I'm listening that, i want to see them !!!

[elpeacho1]

this song should be recorded on a cd alone, then framed and hung in the louvre

[elpeacho1]

theres 49 musically retarded people in this world

[freakinempty]

hmmmmm... meh

[cosmicrider287]

this is what i call a very strong melody.

[davieboy1971]

I would love to hear Paul Buchanan of " The Blue Nile " doing the vocals on this ... With his amazing voice and a totally sublime tune combined it would surely be worth a listen or two , million ! This is definately one of the finest pieces of contemporary music in existance !

[SrgtBarney]

i want the other worlds to hear this song out in space and then maybe theyll be interested in visiting us for once

[MethodsofHavoc]

I'd like to know why Youtube has deemed it appropriate for that second recommendation on the list over there.. xD

[purplevolcano]

@MethodsofHavoc - it is 4th on mine - the worlds biggest...? I know - bit weird that - maybe there are some references in the song that we don't understand it being Icelandic an' all!

[jcmoore460]

I love this song.

[Joanna5757]

My heart hurts

[speedomike747]

Where they here in holland? omg why wasn't i there? :(

[hullohulloRFC]

i cry to this

[jasneil]

The music alone is extraordinary. Though I wish I could understand him!

[birkirp89]

@jasneil Learn Icelandic. Their text is most of the time random and sometimes quite funny actually.

[purplevolcano]

@birkirp89 - now I am never going to learn Icelandic, so please give us a hint of what he is singing!

[herewego90]

Coldplay? no. I think this song could be compared to sufjan stevens before coldplay, with the big sound.

[spinkicker27]

This official video clip made me cry, I remember my RIP grandmother who pass away in 2008. her age was 91, but she can read book without glasses. Thanks for Sigur Ros. You're so inspiring.

[spinkicker27]

i cried

[wilard027]

These songs are the Mona Lisa of music...INVALUABLE

[raudidyr2]

You know they've sent out messages and pictures out into the space? Wanna know why we haven't got alien contact so far? We haven't sent Hoppípolla out there yet.

[soccersoloact]

Whoa, shit, I love how they switched up the ending

[Bambooandlotus]

Amazing...................



[marianopicco]

Poor woman having to perform following this... it's impossible to top it and you'll only look bad.

[puesiomismo]

this is MUSIC

[leonornobrealves]

sigur rós + amiina = <3

[thankGodforDavidG]

pleasant surprise my friend Paige, tx 4 recommend !

[neilmiknot]

how do you possibly follow that?...

[RStoned7]

It's really amazing how emotional I get each time I listen to this song, even after so many years. It always makes me happy, even if I am in bad mood. A sort of hymn to life and happiness Thank you for existing and for your music.

[AxCYeR]

this is the sound i was looking for for so long!

[inkpink]

Musical perfection. Its difficult to better this song. Bravo indeed.

[Incubus941]

Wow what an awful performance ... not by individual members. But the EQ is awful. I don't know what their techies were thinking, I doubt they have any by the sounds of it.

[tomtomflair]

If love at first sight exists, i would like to think that this would be the soundtrack to it x

[ObserverDriftMusic]

@tomtomflair i agree 200%

[Mrregles]

Lo mejor de Sigur Ros, es que nos deja interpretar sus canciones sin necesidad de entenderlas, solo dándoles un sentido individual.

[TheTrancejunkie]

Songs always sound better if you can't understand them!! He could be singing about wetting the bed but it sounds class anyway :)

[KarenRei]

@TheTrancejunkie Speaking of that: search for "Sigur Ros Hillarious Mistake" on YouTube ;)

[AntonAdalsteinson]

This should be the theme song for the World Cup in Brazil 2014. Just sayin...

[rockmunk]

best

[luketoddhunter]

good look following that betty! if i were in the other band id just walk off, wouldn't want to ruin the good vibes.

[RussellThePumpkin]

Sigur Rós are one of those bands that will rarely sound better live, because their studio albums are so amazingly good.

[494jacob]

@RussellThePumpkin true. but the sound quality on this vid is shitty anyways

[RussellThePumpkin]

@494jacob To be honest, I don't like the sound of the basses during Mea Bloanasir, and the glockenspiel is too quiet. Also, isn't there an extra piano piece missing as well?

[neilmiknot]

after years of searching, we happened upon a song for our wedding; 3 years later I still dont know what they are saying and it still doesnt matter- its perfect

[SergioMorales01]

One of the most greatest bands ever. I love them because they create real music, not bullshit like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. I fucking love Sigur Rós!

[99elango]

@librahorse and they'll wonder how the FUCK we managed to destroy ourselves and each other

[AmyLee2020]

which language is that?

[Aznazkals]

@AmyLee2020

Icelandic I believe.

[abelineshis]

@AmyLee2020 It is Vonlenska, Sigur Ros's own language for thier songs

[moggydave]

@abelineshis I believe most of this song is actually Icelandic, and at the end it becomes Vonlenska. But most of the lyrics are translatable here.

[minitureash]

This music makes me remember all the beautiful things about life.

[Xiarisa]

I feel like im in heaven when i hear this music.

Its so relaxing..and when i close my eyes,i see paradise.

[KoiChannel]

Look up "while the city sleeps-back when we knew", kind of similar big soundscapes and big crescendos.

[ben1782]

@KoiChannel

Shut the fuck up with your advertisements on every godamn Sigur Ros video. Dumbass

[TheLinkmaster12345]

One day, when you're wondering.......what the fuck has Iceland had been doing lately? or what they've done 4 mankind? Thank this band for creating this song.

[TheLinkmaster12345]

"indefinite hiatus". we all know you're creating another brilliant masterpiece for the world to hear and embrace like the 1st one, Hoppipolla. So lets not keep your BILLIONS OF FANS waiting......

[lorio100]

I wish the will come to Indonesia someday. I want to see their live performance

[franklinperez100]

orgasmic!!!!!

[musyarofah1]

48 peoples are completely deaf

[Xozny]

Those characters are ð’s not a’s. They’re pronounced ”th” in English ”the”. So it should be ”Með blóðnasir”. If you replace them by A’s it looks (and sounds) ridiculous. But the song is awesome. :)

[ERICRUZ05]

my favorite song!

[khaadym]

48 users are def!



[vespevespe]

had an ear orgasm

[08britchick]

@sarah9902 Icelandic

[Michkel12]

the best of the best.



[dito77750]

i love it.

keren gan,.

[sarah9902]

what language are they singing in?

[911tomo]

Good for my anxiety that. Cheers all

[HamsterOfFury]

I remember watching this when it aired on TV. Musically it changed everything for me.

[iguyhappykyd]

GUA JUGA SETUJU KEREN ABIS

[spinkicker27]

KEREN BANGET, GAK PAKE BOHONG GUA

[werdna4220]

probably the most uplifting song i've ever heard.

[JackJones15]

this is amazing!

[juana141613]

esto esta algo biennnnn

[knoxrox167]

they do this for a living.

don't you feel inadequate, now?

[papitom14]

i am mexican and i think this song is amazing

justin b sucks!!!!

[DrPepper742]

@BruneiTV Sorry, not being rude but that's plain obvious ain't it? They're not even in the same league.

[xon011]

this is what music is all about, perfect

[BruneiTV]

The best band ever !! better than justin bieber !!

[donnytony]

@BruneiTV are u stupid? how dare u to compare them with justin bieber?

[BruneiTV]

@donnytony why do i compare this with Bieber ? ? cause sigur ros relaxes our mind unlike that bieber kid he always thinks hes the greatest in the world and his music always make my mind crazy like it was going to EXPLODE !!

[whitenotetheband]

If you like Sigur Ros, check my band White Note channel by clicking on whitenotetheband. Enjoy :)

[KoiChannel]

look up "while the city sleeps - back when we knew", similar big soundscapes!

[KyuubiKris]

Bass at 4:17

[jorgepeterbarton]

i found takk dissappointing, and then.. the most unlikely band to get popular...

still love (), ágaetis and their newer one, and jonsi#s solo work are all so much better... this is one of their most average songs tbh.

[mumbojumbo766]

the vid to this songs one of the best ever made

[dalgroves10]

This song lifts me and makes me feel things I have never felt from music, such as hope, optimism and like there is something greater waiting for me, its pure beauty and if I could choose a piece of music for my journey to the heavens this would be it.

[ian9167]

Those trumpets; they don't just blast out music, they blast out emotion.

[euphoria191]

@ian9167 I like Sigur Ros, too. But wow...what a gay comment.

[Pastafield]

I don't know why people compare Sigur Ros to Coldplay. They're not even in the same league. Coldplay puts out music that, when compared to Sigur Ros, comes off as a bunch of shallow pop songs. Coldplay's alright, but they're not Sigur Ros.

[RafikiafReKo]

@Pastafield Who the hell compares this band with Coldplay, the closest thing i would compare Sigur Ros to is Pink Floyd..

[MrNeyus]

@Pastafield basically people who compared Sigur Ros to Coldplay aren't listening deep enough to be able to find any distinction between the 2 music

Both are great bands but NO way that they are similar.

Not even close...

[DONKthemanager]

@Pastafield Sigur Ròs? Coldplay? This is an Oxymoron

[jakegiganti]

@Pastafield Shallow pop songs? I guarantee you do not even know what half of Coldplay's songs are about. Just because a band is popular doesn't mean theyre bad/alright/or worse than some underground undiscovered band. And if you knew a thing about music, you'd understand why people are comparing Sigur Ros to Coldplay. Take out the lyrics and you can easily see the similarities between the two.

[BoboTinus]

@jakegiganti

I agree on the fact that a big band can be original as well.

But the lyrics I don't understand. Most of the lyrics of Sigur Ros are written in a made up language. To what I know Coldplay is singing about a topic (and they're doing a fine job). Sigur Ros is using the vocals as an extra instrument.

[KarenRei]

@BoboTinus Meh, in about half their songs. Not in this one. This is Icelandic.

[stephenoehley]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was sung by a girl. How wrong I was... what an incredible voice Jon Por Birgisson has.

[bouse23]

this might be a stupid question but are they singing in icelandic?

[Lateralus03]

@bouse23 The frontman of the band Jonsi sings mostly in Icelandic and is also accompanied by a made-up gibberish language called "Volenska", which translates directly to "Hopelandic".

[KarenRei]

@Lateralus03 "Vonlenska". "Von" (f) = "hope". By means of comparison, Icelandic is "íslenska"

[Lateralus03]

@KarenRei I forgot the N. Sue me. lol

[guthixguy27]

I love the note this video ends on. 6:46

[Maatdrummer1]

AND THE DRUMMER RULES!

[amesarwi]

How do you say "Coldplay" in Icelandic?

[williewpg]

@amesarwi no

[ben1782]

@amesarwi

You don't

[guthixguy27]

Coldplay.

[victorlopez242]

@amesarwi in icelandic  is a kalt spila

[rgnx21]

@amesarwi like this "amesarwiisanidiot"

[gunnarrobert]

@amesarwi coldplay in Icelandic. Literal translation would be "kulspil" hahaha sound really strange ! have never thought of it in Icelandic before :D

[Yoriskumo]

Fantastici !! 

[LogaFilms]

Hoppípolla roughly means in Icelandic: Jump-in-puddles (Hopp-í-polla). And "með blóðnasir" means "with a bloody nose" :)

[JasnaJaja]

"Chill On The Sun"

[cruzebro2]

omgsh <3 almost brings this 6'4'' 250lb American Viking to tears!! I love them. Samskeyti is still my fav though.

[Octospidr]

An insurmountable level of awesome

[everyusernameinuse]

actually it's "Blóðnasir" ;)

[MasterJruss]

I wonder how the other bands were feeling after this

[MerkabaStar]

I don't see what all the fuss is about.

[Indigo656]

@MerkabaStar That's not good. If you don't get it, your missing out.

[MerkabaStar]

@Indigo656 Yea i say the same thing about Tool and Circa Survive

[LibraHorse1]

I showed this to my mom once... she's still crying

[1hellofadrug]

@LibraHorse1 Maybe you should take her to the hospital

[magi1029384756]

i may not understand a word there sayig but its still so amazing and incredible!

[navnig]

I close my eyes, lean back in my chair and put my hands behind my head and forget the world is even there every time I hear this.

[CR4GETH]

what the fuck's the point in anyone else making music when we have this.

[zephyr84]

my hair stands on end when it transitions to mea bloanasir

[1Iren2]

Poor betty

[jagofar]

This is Icelands national anthem.

[VictorPietroM]

@jagofar This is humanity national anthem.

[BionicleStopMotionsG]

@jagofar This is the world's national anthem.

[BruneiTV]

@BionicleStopMotionsG @jagofar agree with you both this should be the worlds national anthem

[mamafuc]

@BionicleStopMotionsG this is the cosmic national anthem... if aliens come in 2012, in their ears will play this song

[PenguinPartyTime]

@BionicleStopMotionsG I agree COMPLETELY with you. 

[satopra]

@jagofar no it's not but it should be
