Riceboy Sleeps - Daníell In the Sea

[josimonkeyman]

who is riceboy sleeps? is it jonsi and alex?

[LAFKO1]

@josimonkeyman

yes !

[JacobL221]

If Jesus sat on his phone and accidently called you, this is what it would sound like. Awesome music.

[PhunkStock]

ethereal beauty!

[Exhalent]

Wouldn't you rather have people argue in the comments than not? Best case, thought provoking ideas are shared; worst case, you can just ignore that comment. Comments don't need to be an empty shells that revolve around you and your beliefs solely. You can ignore this completely, for example.

[MrDatadump]

I think I want this playing at my wake

[ironkatia]

a beautiful piece.

[WindTurbine813]

Wished Terrence Malick used this track in "The Tree of Life."

[PassionOfDenmark]

Jonsi & Alex know how to create an unique emotional and ambient sound.

For similar inspiration, search for this new song:

The Inituition - Life Changing Moments HD

[Spirituse]

I love jonsi and alex, theirs is the only music I can listen to whilst writing my horrendous art theory essays, it's so relaxing it acts as a kind of hypnotism to let me believe for a moment that what I'm reading and writing isn't total bullshit, which is necessary so I don't go ape shit and tear my hair out. Thanks guys, now when my art happily accidentally looks a little like the riceboy sleeps book and my lecturers call me an 'illusionist' I don't feel so bad

[JeffDonner]

@Spirituse I love it for working too - nothing just sort of respects the deep quiet of late night or early morning the way 'Riceboy Sleeps' does. I hope Jonsi + Alex make another album like it. I just wonder how high up it is on Jonsi's to-do list; it seems kind of experimental. Alex's 'Parachutes' band approaches it enough to be reminiscent, in some songs. Well at least we got this eh?

[seva809]

I fell like I'm looking at some kind of video memorial.

[dawndaae]

their music is always filled with love... with universal, all-embracing love. it makes me smile, and cry, out of happiness.

thank you for your music. thank you.

[Datjy1]

Like i care hes gay. I respect him and i love his music. Period. More love!

[CPPA]

you can hear her. listen carefully. the angel breathes.

[sphinxpuzzle]

The memory of being at the sea, like seen through a time telescope, distance of lifetime, the warmth of it flows through you. Waves like sighing, open ceiling of the land meets washing water, the familiar heat sweeps over you. That time at the beach…

[Casilofi]

/watch?v=aiK2P1OV6Lc

[TheDtwix]

this is intense.

[originalmiller]

I'm so glad I found riceboysleeps through sigur ros. I feel like Jonsi and I both make art for the patient of mind. He does it a lot better than me of course. And it does take patience or some things but he never disappoints.

[whitepanter]

woooow don't smok or drink or anything, just listen tho this, it will make you hig.. on life!

[Lespinozac]

I figure a child playing by de sea, in a deep light blue and bright day. The sea, which is enormus and can be stormy and wild, appears quiet and gentle in the presence of the innocent and curious child, and this music is the song the sea sings for him.

[Phycheze]

I picture myself swimming in water at night and I don't need air. I can swim forever without needing air for as long as I want. It makes me sad that not a lot of people know about this music, but in a way im glad that only a few people do so I can call this music all to my own. Every moment makes me cry.

[Phycheze]

I picture myself walking on a beach at night time and the snow is falling gently. Then I go into the water and start swimming among the seaweed, I swim forever without needing air and nothing in the world can hurt me...

[MartinTheGeesest]

@Phycheze that's great

[cosmogang]

Amazing.

[evilradist]

When we were children I think we were so pretty. But when we turned adult we are so... i dunno how it to say. Want to say it`s beautiful what playing is. And who is more adult it`s better to stay child in your heart, head and soul than to be really adult. Because when you`re adult really adult like stereotip you`re so ugly and stupid. I prefer this music, not stuid TV or modern readio shit. Native Musicians are children I think and that`s right and great. Don`t lose your child in yourself.

[BARRATTI]

this sounds like putting a beach in a bucket

where a old record player sits on top of it ....

the vid should be called

' thru the eyes of a Pedohph."...lol

[nategomer]

This is really soothing and beautiful. It's the kind of music I search for to listen to while I write my stories, but I can't seem to find much of it.

Can anyone recommend other groups or songs that are similar? (I'm new to this whole "ambient" thing). Thanks!

[MrFranoh]

@nategomer

Hey try Wake: Sleep by A Lily. Obviously Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin. Any Brian Eno and Boards of Canada. Ulrich Schnauss kills it. Klimt are genius. Susumu Yokota. Milieu. the list goes on and on...

[atrac88]

If you scrub through the video to make it appear at normal speed, you can see that the boy is speaking. Any lip-readers care to translate? :)

[atrac88]

I love this video and music, but I have to say I got really creeped out at 3:34 when the other face appears! I also found myself getting quite teary eyed. I feel like I am watching old old movies of people who have died. And with the heavenly music I guess I am mourning their loss. I don't know if this is old footage or new footage made to look old, but the whole experience is nothing short of religious.

[bunnymatic]

jonsi is pulling on our silver strings. wake up people. wake up people. i love jonsi + alex.

[YTsyndrome]

Being a ghost must feel like this.

[perenellette]

@YTsyndrome amazing

[bazooka92pop]

it sounds like merchildren sighing in the ocean. so peacefully brilliant.

[alanna382]

this music takes me to a higher place.

[diemilchstrasse]

The band is called "Jónsi and Alex" - not "Riceboy Sleeps"!

[totalyruben]

@diemilchstrasse jonsi and alex actually named it riceboy sleeps

[diemilchstrasse]

@totalyruben the album is called "Riceboy Sleeps". The artist's name is "Jónsi and Alex" :P

[rozeepozie]

Sounds like heaven.

[999TorturesAposida]

this is art at it's purest form...This seems to be from far beyond this world..this is magical, this is beautiful, this is the kind of music that keeps me alive...

well..I really hope you don't see this as a spam, but I thought this might interest some of you..

I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia"

If you've got the time, listen to their song "Lost in timeless horizons"

Incredibly beautiful, dremy song by this extremely young guy...

[meparadis]

@999TorturesAposida Yeah that was good! thanks to share this with us!...

[opiumguy491]

anywhere i go riceboy sleeps godspeed black emperor or explosions in the sky is playing in my ear. not just beautiful but inspiring music!

[AirTravel55]

tight

[synestheticmusic]

@577nb this and born to be wild :D

[Sxel92]

This song is so peaceful! I happen to like Jonsi's solo stuff better just because it's more active and alive, but this is good for the down times.

[compaqroy]

Well said Ginne1.....totally agree with you.

[kiddodude]

This is completly art. All the feelings in just a 9 minutes choon.

[marcoscruzortiz]

LLEGÓ LA PRIMAVERA

[buding611]

Fucking, fucking & fucking awsm!

[PassionOfDenmark]

WOW, never heard this before!

Try to listen to this haunting song:

The Inituition - The Storm

[TheEthersTragic]

This music communicates with me more so than any other genre. I can feel it connecting with my soul :)

[soletine]

creepy

[icnclt]

if someone watching malcolm in the middle will know with who seems this first kid...

[GretschG5120]

@icnclt that made no sense.

[icnclt]

why?

[gamersgene]

Dewey!

[disturbedshawn]

@gamersgene lmao

[icnclt]

it changed my sadness into artistic admiration...

[Aartbeats]

I couldnt sleep tonight so I've listened the album Riceboy Sleeps three times. After that I could sleep

[atown327]

not feelin it

[LucianLycaion]

i came

[noisemaker2004]

totally amazing....

[hotlikewhat]

such an amazing song. this video freaks me the fuck out though!

[fiscornioman]

Astonishing.

The mix of the music and the image is truly emotional.

I found myself weeping.

[vampiredude11]

To Islingtonians: Hearts of Space is still on via the Web. All programs are archived, too. I was a fan from 1985 to 2000 or so. Yeah, ambient music is great. Jonsi and Alex have really accomplishing something special in this genre.

[MrDancingqueer]

arguments aren't pretty....Sigur Ros and Alex and Jonsi's work are. There. I have all their releases....including the collectors box of Riceboy,,( beautifully designed)

[Islingtonians]

This is soo hearts of space...anyone remember that radio show? Well, in my opinion, this is the best of the best music of any number genres. But also, it's so thoughtful and perfect .... deep.

[becaggg]

simplemente maravilloso

[littlelulamae]

I always play this album, the album of Frakkur and the album S of Sigur Ros when I'm going to sleep.

Makes me feel calm..

[benzo13a]

same here...

[TheWindowsGamer]

Very stupid and disappointing.  I don't understand how anyone can enjoy this dreadfully boring music

[transientsmile]

It's stupid because you don't enjoy it? Get the fuck over yourself. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's wrong or it sucks.

[TheWindowsGamer]

No, my opinion is that it is stupid. Did I say "I think is stupid so everyone else should feel the same!!" No I didn't. I think it sucks Narwhal ballsack, thank you very much.

[brando444]

People can probably say the exact same thing about your taste in music! Common dude, if you don't like the song, why even bother writing a negative comment?

Peace.

[TheWindowsGamer]

I bother making a negative comment because it's a comment section... Is the comment section called the positive comment section? No I believe it's not.

[brando444]

Whatever, if you feel the need to tell us all how much you think this music isn't to your liking, be my guest.

[TheWindowsGamer]

Thank you.

[999TorturesAposida]

beautiful song, I totally fell in love with Jonsi&Alex's music..Incredibly powerfull stuff..Give me some magical and breathtaking moments.. Really impressive stuff!

This may interest some of you..some minutes ago I found a Band called "Nyctalgia" here on youtube..You should listen to their song "Falling into Nothingness", really great stuff..

[jzoom45]

what a creepy ass video

[alacer47]

how anyone can possibly be in the mood to fight on the internet while listening to Jonsi & Alex is beyond me...

[thelocurus]

Amazing.

[Ginne1]

For the people who were fighting below here, shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.

This is peaceful music, don't ruin it by acting like a bunch of 10-year old.

crybabies.<3

[parkerphil20]

what does the video convey?

[Bebbar]

The music these guys make is very multi-faceted, it's not tied to any specific scenarios or emotions.

It'd do as well for a static shot of a sunrise as it would replacing the intro music to band of brothers.

[Uzixk]

Quit e-fighting you slags and ENJOY THE MUSIC.

[kowalewsky]

Esta música me acerca a lo que soy realmente, más allá de esta cáscara de piel y huesos que todos señalan al decir mi nombre.

[DraculusBM]

Watching this video at 3 PM at night can get unsettling with that boy constantly staring and smiling at you.

[smellslikerainbow]

it is not necessary to be a homosexual to appreciate any kind of art work...

anybody can enjoy art in own way

[joeleewalsh]

What?! Really? Since when? Even the physically disabled?

[keesurt]

@smellslikerainbow where did you get the idea and why do you even think about that, it's obvious

[idiotisimo]

@smellslikerainbow Yeah! Tú muy bien! El arte es el arte y cada quien encuentra el modo de disfrutarlo... y aún mejor: cada quien encuentra un modo de crearlo!

[nadyaabdullah]

beautifully orgasmic!

congratulations Jonsi & Alex!

[benzo13a]

fantastic song and video !

[felipe922]

I'm loving this album...probably my favorite thing ever released relating to sigur ros!

[Piioggia]

la musica degli angeli!

[dreikommavierzehn]

Schon der Song hat mich magisch fasziniert. Jetzt noch das Clipwerk ... das ist Kunst in Vollendung. Danke!

[Xanqui]

Sigur Ros I love you.

[KeaneAddict]

Im well getting this cd, this is awesome stuff, they can do no wrong with their music.

[elvin100]

This video is amazing

[Noilsd]

Pure beauty.

[dimman16]

Guðdómlegt!!!

[mayarose354]

This is just incredible. Can't wait for the album !

[forestdweller68]

I can't either..it is so mystical sounding, love it.

[SeaScarborough]

What a gorgeous track. Simply beautiful

[ilselicona]

cant wait!!!!

[isolatedoddball]

Very ethereal, dreamlike, and otherworldly. It may not be suitable for any mood or moment, but when the time is right, it sure works.

[krotala3]

oh, my god!!! This is trully divine!!!

[BoardsOfNorfolk]

This is beautiful!!! cannot wait for the album!!

20/07/2009

[byakuya00]

love this new project

still maintain the Sigur Ros-vibe :)

[thenakedsoul]

Leak is already availaible on the internet ;)....PURE BEAUTY !!!

[jonread1234]

its a rough copy though

[ficklemcpickle]

Is there going to be an album?

[Daniemuu87]

In June or July, can't really remember...

[ikkunaprincessal]

Little girl i will love you for all my life TT ...I LO VE YOU SO ISABEL

[forestdweller68]

There's nothing wrong with being gay or moved by music.

[hagener]

I feel shame for you, because you take your time to first read something about Jonsi, after search this video, watch it, write your comment, wait two weeks and find 10 fingers down, and your comment marked as spam. Anyway, you describe yourself very well in your youtube profile

Ocupation: Loser. i agree.

[ElDoucho]

You forgot to mention I get humorous essays from fags like you that supply great entertainment. :D

And also your assumptions/"facts" are wrong, I was linked to it, it was three weeks ago, and only 8 fingers down. UMAD THIS LOSER IS RIGHT AND U WRONG? LOLOLOL

[hagener]

Nah dude, believe it or not, i´m not the big sigur ros fan, just is dificult to me believe there´s still "internet tought guys" in this times, where the people has learned that the net is not just a powerful tool of expresion but an important cultural element of this society, people like you whom only browse to kill time and write bullshit about things that you don´t like, are a cancer that eventually gonna disappear. i never tought i´m going to say this... GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!

[ElDoucho]

Who ever said anything about you being a sigur ros fan? Who ever said I don't like him and/or the video? You don't even know the definition of "Internet Tough Guy" because I was in no way being one. Man you are such an idiot. I was simply insulting a guy who was defending gays for humor. How is that me being tough? If you reply it better be as funny as your last one. Moron.

[hagener]

Your clarification answer was pretty funny ...and pathetic. All the people´s comments on your youtube chanel can´t be wrong everybody says you are a faggot who only can be roug behind his monitor, you have this fascination to be the guy saying the "funny" shit, the forced posture of be "different" , you can say what you want, but you can´t go trhough the life being an impudent ashole all the time, it doesn´t make you original, funny, special, cool, nor Fair, that was on the 90´s

[ElDoucho]

lol... Do you even read anything you or I say? I doubt it. Because what you say is just stupid. You're spewing bullshit and ignoring how I point out your stupidity. /claps

[hagener]

waste of time... eye roll*

[Wolvenhybrid]

Who let you out of your cage? o_o

[Piioggia]

Riceboy Sleeps la voce degli angeli..

[expelledfromheaven]

Damn, I can't stop playing this... why O' why is June still so far away.

[expelledfromheaven]

Not everyone's into illegal downloading you fuck..

[princeoftermina]

No, you don't have the album. The finished album hasn't been finished yet. The copy you have hasn't been mastered.

[solconnection2]

beautiful stuff, anyone who likes this sort of stuff make sure you check out an artist called eluvium too :)

[madsteve2000]

This is so beautiful! It brings tears in my eyes, when I hear it.

I don´t wanna miss Jonsi and Sigur Ros for the rest of my life! ;-)

[Xcokedav096]

very progressive

[poltergeist098]

Beautiful, but very creepy.

[FolieRose21]

Record out in July, 20th in Europe

[Xcokedav096]

Anything about the U.S. date?

[FolieRose21]

probably around the same date i suppose. because they release it on Parlophone for europe, so it would probably mean capitol records for you.

[FoRcEdToDiE14]

very beautiful

[SistemuNervosCentral]

absolutely beautiful...i love Iceland and his music...hello from Romania...

[sigurose]

Iceland has no gender, like an angel

[colorsinscenes]

<33

[LDixon007]

Is this available on a CD, or for download?

[dewdropsxraindrops]

i think a cd with the two songs on it comes with the riceboy book, but idk for sure.

[TerentiaWillsomethin]

wow, this is very cool.

nice going, Jonsi and Alex :3

[krusher1977]

The two have released a picture book, also entitled Riceboy Sleeps, via Icelandic imprint and publishing company Moss Stories. The MySpace page for Riceboy Sleeps features two new tracks, "All the Big Trees" and "Daníell In the Sea", plus accompanying music videos.

[krusher1977]

When Jón "Jónsi" Birgisson of Sigur Rós isn't making vast, ethereal post-rock with the rest of the Icelandic band-- most recently on 2005's Takk-- he's making vast, ethereal ambient music with Alex Summers under the name Riceboy Sleeps.

[eburn]

is this related to sigur ros?

[guimovix]

no, but very close. jonsi is doing his solo work with his boyfriend.

[sigurose]

i didnt know he had a boyfriend:( that means i have no chance at all with him!

[RasputinaMan]

buuuuuut it means i have a chance with him!! XD

i win!

[sigurose]

how come the fact that he has a boyfriend means you have a chance with him? he's taken dear!

[Masamuneblader]

they might break up or have a sudden assassination opening up the role of boyfriend for Jonsí. I would do anything to show how much happiness Sigur Rós has put into my life.

[sigurose]

lol then i still might have a chance with him, even though he's just a little old for me :)

[guimovix]

It's lovely the video and the song... Made me cry...
