This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest song a mankind ever made!
It's so raw and emotional while still being so perfectly well planned and composed.
Every time I listen to this song it sends shivers down my spine. It's one of those songs I'll never forget in my whole life. It gives me hope when I'm down, while putting me in a melancholic mood at the same time.
This is ART!
Thank you Sigur Rós.
I hope I'll have the honor of attending one of your concerts one day!
This song and this band change me everytime i listen to them. Everytime their songs reach a climax i stop what i am doin and go back to times in my life where i was truly happy. Hopefully there are more of those times to come. We live in a sad world though
they are amazing, first time i ever listened to them, i cried, i thank the person for the rest of my life for showing me a diff. kind of music. i will love him for the rest of my life.
Powerful!! outstanding performance incredible voice !! makes me feel so many different emotions is tremendous!!! is very addictive could listen over n over :)
This live version blows me away with it's raw emotion every time i watch it...so much more intense than the studio recording,which is still beautiful in it's own right...i am very thankful for the coming of Sigur Ros into my life.
this is a powerfulll song it really makes you think ..GREAT PERFORMED LIVE he gets so into it , perfect !!!!! it does make me think of death though and destruction but Calm at the same time :/
i agree...sorglega is the soundtrack of my life...i want to hear it endlessly...agaetis burjun too..staralfur,milano..oooh how i adore sigur ros!! they fill my soul's holes...
Don't you think it would be rather sad to die while listening to a song of Sigur Rós? I mean.. I absolutely hate it to be interrupted when I'm in the middle of a song of theirs, so I guess I'd prefer to die AFTER having just listened to one of their songs ;-)
because there are no lyrics, this is the soundtrack to every loss I go through. There are so many memories tied to this song and that's what makes good music because good music to me is about conjuring memories and emotions.
This song is getting me through the tough times. Watching my best friend run off with a guy who treats her so bad. Everyday hearing about all the things they do together thinking "that should be me."
I played this song while at her house one night as she cried about how bad he treated her.
i saw sigur ros live at massey hall about a year ago and i swear to god when they perform its like nobody makes a peep, everyone is silent and totally into it.
this song makes me cry freaking BALLS every single time I hear this song. I could be in the best mood ever and hear t his song and have to turn it off ha ha.
Oh God @ 5:10 thru the end. I definitely agree with the sentiment that this makes me feel alive and real - "human." At the same time, their music makes we want to die because I'm pretty sure I'll never live to FEEL anything greater than them...save listening the next time around..oh and probably becoming a parent, but that might not even cut it! ;) Okay, so I'm being dramatic, but Goddamnit if Sigur Ros doesn't have that effect!
it's almost like a toy keyboard that you can record samples of your voice in to then change the pitch and distort it and stuff. I've been looking all over for them. So hard to find! they're pretty old.
I have, I just saw them in September. I'm just saying, many of the people who show up to talk shows don't know in advance who is playing, so a lot of people there had probably never heard of them.
My daughter is 2 1/2 years old, she loves this song. She requests to hear it on a daily basis. It maybe named "nothing" but to her it is "pee-no" (piano).
Though she has the language of a 2 year old, she sings EVERY word of it with me.
What does this song mean to me? 20 years from now, I know it will take me back to when my daughter was 2.
I have one more argument - look out fourth track from this album of Sigur Ros named "Untitled 4" aka "The Nothing Song". Don't you see any resemblances?:)
@Dandybear There are no lyrics for this song. The language they sing in okay is not really a language but they call it "Hopelandic", you can sing whatever you want to, i think! :)
Well, but we don't know about what it is and we will never know this... so whats the difference? He may singing about killing chickens, and you will interpret this as (for example) try to save the world.:)
I almost cry every time I watch this. I've seen them live twice and its amazing how dead silent a Sigur Ros crowd is during the music. Everyone is just hypnotized.
Fully agree. I've watched this video so so so many times and I still get chills at that bit at the end. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever, and this video makes it even better.
