Sigur Rós - Untitled #1 (Vaka) Acoustic (Heima)

[Farr1012]

what an untainted country

[MrJojogun]

Always love these vids from Iceland...of course none of the vids will ever be done at the now extinct Rockville AFSite...if the 40 mph wind didn't get you...the smell of the nearby fish racks would have.....I was there for a year in 1972-1973.

[Lateralus03]

When the song begins I'm standing amidst miles of green and blue in all directions, mountains looming in the distance with impossible majesty. By mid-song, I'm sitting with Jonsi, he's there with me in that beauty, as I rest my head on his shoulder, there is a powerful wind, and he is there to shield me from it. By the end of the song, I become homesick and desperate, and I'm whisked back to my bedroom in an instant, as if it never happened, but the feeling is so raw and real inside.

[20Paige]

Good job cameraman.

We love your effort.

[volvicwater22]

how on earth can anyone possibly dislike this?

[RAMSscape]

@volvicwater22 I dunno. Jealousy?

[volvicwater22]

@RAMSscape perhaps.

[TheDanielJet]

ICELAND ICELAND ICELAND! One of the most beautiful places in the world... completely amazing!

[Aniva66]

what a view! where that location is? Canada?

[MrSebazerox]

@Aniva66 facepalm

[Aniva66]

@MrSebazerox

greenland,right?

[CooLorDave]

I think we can forgive them for their volcano, when they give us such nice music as this :-)

[13vafanculo]

Bless all people of Iceland for having a wonderful music group

[SeninJogjaAkustik]

Great ...

[Islingtonians]

Shit Im gonna cry again! The music just lights somewhere in the center of my chest and suddenly like a star, everything's exploding!

[nonRompereiball]

che abbottamento di cugliuni !

[cronojdbass]

Sigur Rós is the reason I actually want to learn how to speak Icelandic and go the Iceland, it looks really cold but still so gorgeous.

[BloggerMusicMan]

@cronojdbass

I actually got an account on an Icelandic website for a while after first listening to Sigur Ros. I got exactly the same feeling. I wanted to go this magical place where this music came from.

[MrGuitarmadness]

Iceland people are so beautiful!

[bloue79]

Il n'y a qu'un chose à faire, se laisser transporter par toute cette beauté

[cakieeee]

if there is anything such thing as a god or goddess, i'm almost positive that sigur rós is their personal entertainment.

[Progmandrake]

Iceland must be the Valhalla :P

[Jaysohn008]

The last magic on Earth is the ability to move hearts and minds without laying a finger on another person. They are indeed magic.

[Avery1231]

Sigur Ros makes me cry every time listen to them. If there's such a thing as magic, I think this is it.

[Carucero]

it's something about this sigur ross.....i do'nt know... hits you right inthe soul. congrats from romania.... it's been a long time... since i had this feelin' about eanything... guess there's mote than ashes coming from iceland.. ha? :) beatutiful.

[aqua2008]

nice camera work.

[shizzle31]

i want to take my wife to iceland for our honeymoon, what better place to do than" the happiest country in the world".. :)

[quickshooter100]

beautiful! this is the music of the earth! just awesome!

[dummydj]

I sat through this song with eyes closed, as i know many people do. I sat here and just listened, and this completely horrible week i've been struggling through... suddenly just faded away. Drowned out by the realization that something had drifted out of normality while this song played and it wasn't the world. The world hadn't just drifted out of focus, rather for one of the first times it became the clearest thing. It's the distractions in life that make us forget...that life is beautiful.

[SrMogote]

@dummydj thats the problem: today, we have too many distractions to realize life is beautiful, and realize about the harm we are doing to our home, the Earth.

[asdercks]

i want to go to iceland maaannnn i can beleive how much time i have wasted in worthless stuff when there is so much beauty around us and we dont even take a min to contemplate

[Salobatera]

MAGIC!

[AlejandroCasadiego92]

yo debi haber nacido en islandia..

[iyoshiixd]

yo tambien

[LastRowKid]

this reminds me alot of Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii

[JrRye710]

This song reminds me, almost as if I can close my eyes maybe even see it, Icicles frozen from winter temperatures, subtly shifting in the cresting wave of spring, and in the daylight, each melting drop of ice water rings like a bell as if falls, back to the earth. *trippy dude*(lo) But isn't it fun to imagine to beautiful "Music" (hard to use the word "music" because it's so much more.)?

[telefunkas]

cuando todo es grandioso no se debe

de decir nada......se hace musica.

[Option1339]

Amazing something live can sound so perfect.

[marcayupi]

un paisaje hermoso pero la musica muy foooooooooome

[Progmandrake]

para mi los solos de Dream theater son fomes :B , pero bueno...

[21288003771215]

Cofiwch Dryweryn anyone?

[Domenica1996]

La musica dei Sigur Ros e' pura poesia.

[tadeu13]

É poesia cantada...

[ammicconicco]

Cazzo concordo in pieno con te

[amosbass]

Can anyone tell me what instrument that little foot organ deal is? I have found some on the internet but not a small one like is played here. What a wonderful song!

[ohnokittens]

It's a reed organ, also known as a pump organ. That model in specific is a portable type, probably made by the company Estey. They're beautiful instruments.. Google search "Estey travelling organ" for more info.

[KillerT8]

It happens. Mountain Top Removal Mining by the U.S. Coal Industry is another example, of people living in beautiful areas getting screwed.

[ThirdRevelation1]

That, over other petty, stupid things is the true crime.  Yet nobody has the decency to prevent it. Just shows how truly disgusting human beings are for ruining such beautiful landscapes and replacing them with industrial tidings.

[ThirdRevelation1]

If the below comments are true, the person who owned that house just got screwed beyond belief...

[icnclt]

Por favor, ponha esta musica no meu funeral, deste modo, as lagrimas virão e terá mais sentido o chorar...

[heytherefella]

BEAUTIFUL.

[MadMathmoMan]

This was at camp protesting about the building of a hydroelectric dam to power an American complex of some sort (can't remember exactly what it was). The place they played at is now underwater, gone forever.

[bobjimtheawesome]

Seriously?

[jaharris8908]

I just spent an hour trying to figure out what "American" Complex you're talking about and couldn't find a single thing mentioning a complex but most of all Americans have nothing to do with it so far as I could tell. It seems that it was a highly disputed act passed through the Icelandic parliment. Many people protested it especially because the dam is fed by melted water from the glacier, so the dam will fill up with alluvial mud and be inoperable within two decades.

[jaharris8908]

So I don't know if it was your intention to try to bring America into this because: everyone knows America is the root of all evil in the world so if a dam goes up in Iceland it must have been those damn Americans or if you have some knowledge that isn't on the internet? Either way this is beautiful music beyond compare and for the sake of everyone i recommend we keep this a spiritual experience rather than secular starting with me.

[MrPuffin]

Yeah bit silyl to put the whole blame on the US for the dam being built when our parliament passed the bill to built it. He bought America into this though since the dam was built in order to power aluminum smelters owned by Alcoa(ALuminum Company Of America) in Iceland

[jaharris8908]

I see. I researched it and it's true. It's very sad. I appreciate the comment even if it makes me look a little like an ass :)

[secid4]

there isn't a better band

[CnCDeluxe]

Muy bueno la verdad EXELENTE...

[mitho88]

all the beauty of this planet seems to be in their hands when they play this song...

[skatefarmerftw]

quite a great description

[yaganes]

Qué hermoso lugar, hermosa música, es como estar en el cielo que imagino

[banabpg]

they were perfect....

[Xcokedav096]

such a beautiful country.

[SoulCrushing]

the land there is as beautiful and haunting as the music, it makes me cry.

[blacksheep0216]

lucky the people that lived it, i really want to see them live, i didnt think I'd like them acousticly, i was wrong i like them alot....and yes this song brings me down, but it's also my favoite!!!

[artidinarti]

wow. sigur ros makes the wind stop to listen

[gn144146]

i want to go to Iceland

QQ

[7Underwood7]

same

[alisabeththoreau]

someone take me away to Iceland.

[paulusabovetherim]

i get really depressed when i hear this. sorry guys, not criticizing the band or you for liking it.

all i'm saying is that if i hear a few songs by this band i get depressed. especially this one. such is the power of it.

[Wechrr]

Me too, but in a good kind of way. Can't really put it to words. It's amazing how well this song sounds acousticly.

[klarkolofsson]

Sigr rós makes me think big and existential and sometimes I get depressed of what I understood.

[muteculture]

Agreed.

[kadir1982]

simplicity proves its perfection again...

[kadir1982]

5 22 am...cant sleep,reminds me of my destructive,nonsense,beautiful­,complex abusive use of drugs past of mine

[Sahnus]

Wow, for et nydelig landskap! =]

Passer Sigur Rós sin musikk perfekt!

[monisara59]

Far away from this landscape, in South america,in Uruguay, I remember other places of my country, my youth and the group of friends.

The same brillant and peaceful air.

Thank you Sigur Rós.

[kendlacat]

This is such a great video, thanks for posting it;)

[BulldozerLemon]

that's some truely beautiful landscape.

[isismusicland]

wonderfull....

[jakdaki]

the fact that they play entirely acousticly even jonsi singin creates a far stronger connection with the song and its beauty.

does anyone know what instrument orri is playing?

[darthruune]

organ.

[maggitrymbill]

It's the same organ Jónsi plays in Heysátan.

[Ceb773]

i find it really cool that they're just playing to about 20 people in the middle of nowhere.

really like this song

[viviensshadow]

brilliant

[AleifrLeifrson]

I've been to Iceland, but then I was an ignorant 13 year old and didn't give a damn about anything I saw there. I want to go back.

[ikzwaffeljemoeder]

I know the feeling... haha. My parents dragged me to the weirdest places too, when i was that age... Back then, i really didnt pay much attention to the shear beauty and pureness of those places, and found it boring...

Well, when i look back at those times i'd smack my head now... Looking back to it, makes me craving to visit those places again, and look at them in a whole other way. The right way...

[synestheticmusic]

i wish you people would stop calling 13 year olds ignorant! i'm 13, and i love the band, the innovation and the scenery!

[merustproof289]

You have to understand that you are a rare breed. I commend you for being mature and having good taste.

[satanicsquirrel01]

thankyou! i have an albums list at rateyourmusic. because the fools at youtube don't let you type in websites, i'll have to instruct you - type in rateyourmusic jaiguru95 in google, and scroll down to my lists section. my album tally is up to 171... with 3 sigur ros albums in the top 20!

[ekkinoxius]

i got an scholarship to study in Iceland!

the most exciting thing is that i am going to have the chance to see them! :)))))

Peace and love!

[CatsNDaHood]

even thought i dont know you, i am glad for you and very jealous. congrats!

[ralph11998800]

unbelievable......

[Duncancarbon]

How many space would it take to do an acoustic version of 'Ara batur'?

[stipyna]

Very beautiful..I've cried a lot...so few songs have made me cry...

[elguappoburro]

This song used to make me cry.

It still does make me tear up a little bit.

I think it's too beautiful.

[Pogomunky]

Im Glad Someone feels the same way

[saladlegs]

same here!

[TheLordRob]

:)...the angel way...

[monisara59]

Paz, belleza, contemplación

Peace, beauty, contemplation

[thestormlscoming]

lol, you can hear them talking in the background

but nothing can take away from this, it gets me every time

[watashiwanachodes]

this all ways gets me so calmed, maybe if they play long enough people would forget all the stupid crap they do war about.

[Pogomunky]

if only it could happen...people seems far to occupied who they have to fight next than actually working together to make it right.. maybe one day...

[OliverScroll]

Cried during this part.

[sickenny8]
