  • fuck me...

  • I have to stop watching these videos. By the end of every song im in tears with a smile on my face but I just go listen to the next song and repeat. Pure bliss.

  • iceland??? wow

  • i have seen the Heima dvd about 37 times and I always feel happy

    SO BEAUTIFUL!

  • You're just plain stupid if you don't like this!

  • I love this so damned much.

  • This song takes me back to May 2009. Finals week. I wish I could go back. So many memories.

  • Poyo segovia!

  • My most sincere apoligizes,, it had to be done... @2:45 DOG WITH A HAT :D

  • @humbertosultan my most sincere apologies... shitty music @ :29

  • I fell in love with Iceland because of Sigur Ros.

  • Where do those landscapes take place??

  • @lutcs86 ...Iceland.

  • This composition is very perfect. The great sound that enter into my brain that teleport me to a fantastic world where the people are loving you.. when the flowers blowsom everyday and the things are awesome.... Sounds like, dear Sigur Rós... =)

  • great video. Emotional, and the sound of the music is mixed like the sixties or seventies, squashed together yet you can hear each thing,

    it has a triumphant, you can go on thing about it. the concentration of the players and the cuts to people doing things, children doing things. nice. i guess they are from iceland?

  • حلوه

  • Iceland looks like such a beautiful place

  • I can't imagine a better place to be.

  • makes me want to go hop in puddles of mud :)

  • When you watch the drummer, you know it's still Rock'n Roll - Rock'n Roll from another universe.

  • My favorite part is that the brass players start singing too.

    Actually, my favorite part is the fact that this video makes me feel magical.

  • Is it girls from Amiina playing with Sigur Ros???

  • @Dr666Love Yes they are :)

  • @karloro88

    I love their band!!! I love most of icelandic music actually, but Amiina is near to the top of my preference;)

    Thank you for the answer.

  • water flowing from a tap

    inside talent overflowing

    perfectly flying into destiny

    wonderfully wrapped inside of you

    fly inside those eyes that make you alive

    that feel the dream only you believe

    the place you know the place you see

    where you fly where you are free

  • I have to meet the girl at 1:44 so bad.

  • This is how love enter in your ears and make your heart full.

  • In my eyes this is the greatest piece of music ever, simply brilliant. This means the world to me. I love life

  • i've just came back from the cinema where i watched Heima.... I'm impressed and can't say anything more clever than that it's such a beautiful film...

  • what a good song.... i would make love to that song....

  • I the really pity the ones who dislike this

  • @JohnnyCagePro it has to be 20 gingers

  • @MoreDanYouKnow  -.- Gingers do have souls :D

  • @PunchysThe It is true that by listening to Sigur Ros a ginger will develop a soul overtime :)

  • The dislike bar is like a ninja..... you know it's there..... but you just can't see it

  • I love this music

  • Quel beau moment !

  • I gotta thank the movie "Penelope" thanks 2 that movie I found out the greatest band ever. Yep, Sigur Ros

  • Ojala ya pase su descanso y se vienen a mexico, bandas como esa son verdadera musica C:

  • I'm saving all my cash to go to Iceland, anyone there to welcome me?

  • 1:43<<<<<<<<<3333333333

  • I cried to this song once. I'm not ashamed of that.

  • Hoy es mi cumpleanos, y solo espere hasta esta hora para escucharla este dia, desde la primera vez que la escuche lo pense. Cada vez que la escucho hay un momento en que salen mis lagrimas. Enooooormee.

    Today is my birthday, I only waited to hear it. Since the very first time I heard it I thought to listenten to it today. every time I hear it there is a moment somewhere in the song that my tears start tearing down, just because of hapiness. Enooooorme.

  • sabia q la avia escuchado en algun lado xD

  • chulada!!!

    

  • Really?!? There's dislikes on this??

  • just fucking amazing, some angel lost his soundtrack...

  • This piece of music has been handed to us by one of the finest of countries on earth - Iceland.

  • Priceless, it really is.

  • is this considered stadium gig in Iceland?

    jk, it's a great piece

  • There goes Sigur Ros, changing everybody's lives.

  • Sexy icelandic honey @ 1:43

  • @WhyYouJelly she's beautiful! O:

  • This is the kind of song that deserves 100 million views...

    too bad most people don't see it :P

  • si esto no te emociona no tenés corazón. thumbs up

  • cant hit the "like" button often enough. I just cant.

  • ¡es simplemente impresionante!, apartir del momento 5:11 te da la impresión de que el cielo se cae, no lo puedo dejar de escuchar

    Awesome, simply one of the best songs I ever heard, no doubt about it!

    Einfaldlega töfrandi! er falleg lag, einn af bestu lögin ég heyrði í lífi mínu!

  • @nachozoom "er fallegt lag", er það ekki?

  • @KarenRei

    viss gera

  • and again its me .. hearin it again an again! i cant tell how i love this track!

  • I can't think about the dislikes while and after listening to this song. It's way too beautiful to complain about anything.

  • Imagine :

    you standing at the altar and the Piano starts .. and your woman is walking in in bright white and you can´t hold it back in at the highest point of the GREAT Song you kiss your love!

    i love this song!

  • 17 people are justin bieber fans =|

  • @2:48 the most beautiful image ever!

  • @DAMOSTKANGRY Meh, that's just Iceland :)

    Remember that the sun is never high in the sky there. In the summer, it sort of rotates around you, dipping a bit high in the south around midday and just dipping below the mountains in the north late at night. The net result us that sunrises/sunsets are very slow and gradual, and there's always a steep angle to the light, meaning stark color contrasts and long-cast shadows. It's part of why it's such a beautiful place, methinks.

  • @DAMOSTKANGRY Yeap!<3

  • soul

  • At the same time as wanting to know what the lyrics mean, I feel that not knowing what it actually means, adds to the mystery of the song. I love it.

  • Oh my God...

  • @DByte56 oh my god indeed.... this is the best way to explain what real music is all about... oh well... maybe youll never watch this on mtv.... meh TV...

  • the moment since 5:28 may last for ever...

  • Shuure maybe per-capita but that's because only 10 ppl live there - not including the elves :) .. don't believe the hype though, we have no national debt crises 90+% of "our" debt has nothing to do with 99+% of our ppl, we got ripped off plain and simple and everyone just excepts it.. I commend the Icelanders for their stance.. Say hello to the elves for me

  • @itoldyousoisaid Well of course you want a per-capita measure. Few people means few people paying it off, too. :)

    Ireland's public debt is nearly equal to its annual GDP. The US's is about 2/3rds of its GDP. Greece's is 40% more than its GDP. So you're certainly not Greece-level of debt, but it's definitely a real problem.

    I hope you recover well. :) I was in Ireland at one point this summer, and found the people there very nice. A lot friendlier than the British ;)

  • @KarenRei Few ppl to pay it off i guess makes it harder alright, i think maybe the elves should pay there fair share too..

    We are just about paying the interest but yeah there is lots good ppl here for sure but most are not active enough in affairs, just spectators. Cool, where did you go when you were here??

  • @itoldyousoisaid We came into the country from Northern Ireland. Stayed with a couple guys on the south side of Dublin (somewhere off the N81; great view of the hills), then drove to Galway and walked around the beach. We camped northeast of Tralee, drove through Killarney to the south shore, then back east; had my video camera die in Cork (although not without the best efforts of a repairman there to help out), then camped by the beach near Wexford before heading back to the UK. :)

  • @KarenRei sounds like you covered all corners of our humble island, hope you had a good time. Our beaches in Galway not so tropical but i guess your used to that. Camping too best way to go! Tell everyone in Iceland i forgive them now for their ash clouds :)

  • WOW!

  • got to agree with most of the posts here, these Icelanders def have something. they told the banks to get lost too. I also want to go there now!! ..such beautiful music too

  • @itoldyousoisaid Actually, they bailed out their banks, with nearly a year's worth of GDP. Went into big debt to do it. But it's still an awesome country. :)

  • @KarenRei They may have put some money into it but they did NOT take on the vast majority of the debt (creditors of their banks debt) , in effect they just said no.... wish we had real ppl like that here in ireland but fat chance.. AGREED though on their awsomenessness!! Go Iceland!!!!!

  • @itoldyousoisaid They took on more debt per-capita in bailing out their banks than any other nation. There's no way they realistically *could* have fully bailed out their banks (despite the treatment of them as terrorists by the British and Dutch).

    Your problem in Ireland is totally different. You have a *national debt crisis*. Iceland did not have one before. They do now, after the bailouts, mind you, but they largely dealt with it through a currency collapse (which you also can't do).

  • Now, I want to go to Iceland!

  • It makes me cry everytime i watch it.. I'd like to live in Iceland, maybe as a beggar, it doesn't matters, I think it's like living in another planet..

  • how I envy these people! They all look so happy with no worries.

  • @PLCBZ Icelanders generally poll as one of the happiest peoples on Earth. Yet at the same time, it seems it's practically the national pastime to complain about their government ;) But, IMHO, it's a good thing; their domestic and foreign policy is largely awesome (say, compared to the US) because they're never content with the parts which aren't.

  • @KarenRei yes... that's what this video reflects, but to be fair, and that's my opinion, I think it's characteristic in the Nordic countries... The way of living seems more natural, balanced and more focus on the right things, which doesn't happen on many other countries on the rest of Europe - where people live very stressful days, mainly because there is an excess of everything!!! BTW - complaining about governments! -> Global hobbie ;)

  • i wish i was there

  • Fuck I think I love that country and its people. Lots of original music comes from this geographically strange-looking island with only few hundred thousand inhabitants. And this video has some cute children and lot of sweaters and not-so-clean-hairs. Have to visit Iceland some day.

  • Where was this at? Its beautiful!

  • @iloveeCM I think its island

  • @iloveeCM Ásbyrgi. And it is. Although, IMHO, the river canyon just south of Ásbyrgi is even more incredible. This whole incredible canyon system by Iceland's northern shore was carved over the course of just a few days in two catastrophic flood events just a couple thousand years ago. Think about that for a minute.

    Iceland is just amazing.

  • it really make's me cry!

  • I am happy

  • i would give anything to hav been there just for this one song,well not my wife and wee girl but am pretty sure anything else lol

  • fallegur yoke margir lifnaðarhættir

  • @bobcatbro1 Ef ég má forvitnast, hvað þýðir "yoke"?

  • @KarenRei ég er america hryggur

  • Are all the cute little kids in the world in iceland?

  • I was there :)

  • @aretartedbird oh how lucky you are, how was the feeling at the moment? i wish i was there too.

  • Mi sono innamorato di questo video!

  • Comment removed

  • From time to time you can find God in some places or some things in nature or what some people are doing. I think God was there when they did this recording...

  • @MrKarlos200 God IS everywhere. But I also think He really likes Sigur Ros

  • Who the hell disliked this? They need to seek their poor forlorn soul...

  • Comment removed

  • 01:43

  • Icelandic is widely considered to be understandable if talked backwards.

  • @Enevroev Nah... but it does become a lot more understandable if they actually pronounce all of the letters in the words that they're speaking! ;)

    "Ha? "'Éralesa'? Hvað þýðir 'Éralesa'.... Ó! *Ég* *er* *að* *lesa*! Svei þvi!"

  • @KarenRei Obvious irony, but regardless Icelandic is quite tricky. I've studied Nordic languages (it's mandatory in Swedish high schools) and Icelandic is far more difficult than any other Nordic language. Swedes, Danes and Norwegians understand each other quite fine, but we're useless at understanding people from Iceland and Finland.

  • @Enevroev Hehe, yeah, I kinda noticed that ;) I (a beginner at Icelandic) hiked over Fimmvörðuháls with a group of Norwegians, and discovered that we were both about equally useless at understanding Icelandic ;) Meh, but I have years to get good at it.

  • look up "while the city sleeps - back when we knew", same kind of colourful soundscapes and big crescendos!

  • 5:12 to the end <3

  • @stomcode

    That part is like pure magic

  • increíble !

  • what happened to Sigur Ros when he got his indefinite break

  • Possibly the greatest contribution to music of a generation...the downside is my pants seem to get wet every time I hear it (lol)

  • dead 'cause of the eyes on 1:45

  • 7 minutos de pura musica,

  • Clearly one of the best Dvd i have.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Goosebumps when the coda came in. Ah, this is so brilliant.

  • Goosebumps when the coda came in. Ah, this is so brilliant.

  • Amazing.

  • Sigur Ros's music has the power to make robots cry.

  • If you actually pay atention Sigur Rós's songs appear in many adverts, too bad they never put a reference of their songs there...

  • How can something this beautiful be here on earth?

  • @astarupinthesky21 It's not on Earth. It's in Iceland. ;)

  • Muy buen tema, me encantan, saludos.

  • Why does everyone seem so uninterested there? :S lol

  • 1:27 is that baby pouring his own drink?!?!?!

  • sta es la cancion que mas me recuerda jhontahn rangel nuesras viviencias lo feli que fuimos y lo que todos sus primos conteporaneos vivimos @karla rangel tu mas que entienees

  • У меня мурашки... Катарсис...

  • I just wish I had been there when this happened. Such a wonderful location.

  • @littlebigbrain As beautiful as Ásbýrgi is, the real national treasure is the canyons of the Jökulsá just south of there, closer to Dettifoss. Hiking it alone under the midnight sun was practically a religious experience.

  • @KarenRei Thanx for that.

  • A very emotional song that's make me proud of who I am

  • The music Sigur Ros creates, makes me want to be a better person.

  • Dislikes???15??? OK, there are 15 people somewhere out there who need not apply to anything in life. I feel sorry for you and your souls...well, lack there of. I know, I know..you just don't get it...well, there are 2,763 of us that do...now go back to watching "Glee" or whatever Kardashian flavored tv show you obsess on and stay away from the smart people here...This is life changing how good this is..

  • @bunnyhead71 fucking hipster xDD

  • @bunnyhead71 they have no soul 8[

  • 6:25, All of the musicians hugging made the video for me. I love this band so much, long live Sigur Rós!

  • I LOVE this.. but why did they use two bass guitars? (Because it's Sigur Ros and they're awesome, I know..)

  • @Soilwar

    Because thats what this arrangement of the song calls for

  • Russland United for Nord

  • this as good as it gets w/the secnery and just everything is perfect.

  • Amazing, the peace!!!!

    

  • Señores he  aqui una OBRA DE ARTE .

  • i tried to describe this to some friends...i couldn't

  • 1:44 very, very beautiful girl :)

  • Believe it or not, I've been listening to this song almost everyday since I first bought the Takk album...

  • who could ever dislike something like this...

  • Meine WG Genossin steht total auf den, aber er, der sängerjunge, ist wohl sicher schwul :D. Tja! Dann musste dir nen anderen suchen, den du monitär ausnimmst! :D :D Daumen hoch wenn du das verstanden hast!

  • What i'd give to see this live.....

  • I came.

  • This song needs a "So fucking great" button

  • From wich tv series or tv ardvertise or something did i listen this song?

  • @pabloripoll8 There was a animal program advert (can't remember the name) on the BBC about 6 months back which featured this song.

  • @HammersGamingChannel Yes!! can´t remember the name either, but it was an advert from a documentary, you are right!

  • @pabloripoll8

    this song/music was used in documentary "Planet Earth". also it was used in movie trailers for "slumdog millionaire" and "children of men"

  • @pabloripoll8 Probably Animal Planet , One of the "theme Months". this song was played in the background of the avertisment.

  • @onliamtoh Animal planet, thats right :)

  • thumbs up if Ray sent u here indirectly

  • I'm pretty sure Jonsi is actually an elf.

  • This song explains exactly the way I feel when I look into my girlfriend's eyes.

  • sigur ros open air at the dawn..magic

  • Love the dog at 2:44 with the hat. Btw, are they using two basses?
