Sigur Ros - Njósnavélin

[kealiesayshi2]

Freaking spectacular song, but isn't it pronounced si-UR Rós, not Si-Gur Rós( which is the way the reporter said it)

[MrMindandMatter]

whats your favourite Sigur Ros list of songs?? (cause if your watching this, then u must have LOADZ that u like, love, admire, cherish...remember)

:)

[palczetti]

mustache rulezzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[kunio18]

brings tears to my eyes all the time

[rmwatson1]

as in the last words from Steve Jobs....oh wow, oh wow, oh wow...incredible captivating music that makes you wonder where the 4 and half minutes went. And Jon never even looks at his guitar when playing...

[zulutri]

like someone speaks to you in your mother tongue for the first time in your life and you understand everything perfectly clear, the binding force of the universe revealed, the theory of everything explained clear as a cold November morning after a windy night… But then the elegant emptiness of this singularity paralyses you, if this is the ultimate truth, arggh, now what, there is it nothing to hope for left, and then you say to you OK, it hurts but is so brilliant and impossibly beautiful,..

[YesEthan]

Love this song especially this version : ' )

[Yoriskumo]

*______* ma quanto son bravi

[capsautoparts666]

Pause at 0.23. Those are the bells, behind jonsi, that sigur ros gave Amiina to use for their song Seoul. watch?v=39novn5B0-E

[pedroaguiaromundo]

the singer makes me think of Tintin

[TheTouristArrives]

I think I actually like this version of the song better than their studio version. Regardless, simply amazing band. :)

[soiledmcribs]

I would fuck everyone in the room, including the woman.

[bratte]

It wouldn't surprise me if I am 50 % of all the viewers of this video.

[undressplease]

@bratte Enchanté, I'm the other half :)

[shredofmartyrs]

It doesn't matter what he's saying anyways, a lot is gibberish to fit the music. Many bands do it, listen to the Cocteau Twins. Great song.

[MarianBlase]

where can i download??

[dincz]

@MarianBlase You can download YouTube videos from here: keepvid.com

and lots of other sites too.

[olafurhh03]

[fireflyxing]

[gtvelocevideos]

VCS 3 behind him...:)

Btw HUGE song!!

[LAURAM0822]

this music changed my life, i was in a sorry state and it saved me from feeling lifeless and alone ; )

[Portisheadify]

I can't say/ / just sits in my soul..

[TCBLSA]

Thank you Sigure Ros

[danwildspirit]

3 people doesnt have peace on their souls

[mcrkid22]

Replay, replay, replay, replay, replay, replay...

[thompson8305]

@crippen86 your probably right becuase if theyw ere mainstream there might be a possible chance they sell out and lame ass poser pansies would be lining up at hot topic to buy their t shirts. keep this diamond in the rough.

[calaco74123]

total mente hermoso

[MrCursed18]

fuck u all i am going to iceland.

[herrjordny]

[like] click click click click click click....

[ScanDeez]

I like the feeling you get when you take someone special, sit them down on the ground with a stereo between you, and you put in Sigur Ros. And you just look at them and you can see everything that the song represents. Truly moving and emotional.

[filipc890]

Love it!!!!!

[AlexanderGeneralov]

yep! it sound like a whale song. i like whales =)

[matimac666]

It's not music it's magic.

[ugonnalikethis]

That mustache is distracting....

[virus315]

it's amazing that they have acoustic versions just about every song of theirs.

[53462874]

BBC RULZ!!!!

U.S.A suck !!!!

[Anathor1]

I believe that Sigur Ros is the ONLY band that shouldn't have any dislikes at all in their videos.

[CJDownz]

2:20 and on is just the best thing I've ever heard

[xmitchawayx]

that piano was amazing just love this band

[earpiece12]

I feel really bad for whoever disliked this.

[thompson8305]

@earpiece12 i agree. what a horrible shame music like this is not mainstream.

[TheJacksterman]

@thompson8305 In a way it's good that it's not mainstream. It makes it special to the people who listen to it. No such thing as music being over-rated in an under-rated genre!

[obione81]

POLSKA TEŻ SŁUCHA SIGUR ROS :)

[lostlittleduck]

Best Group in the World. There music is very thought provoking and melodies to there song are haunting!

[MrMusiart]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[jimma1890]

[tallpaulphillips]

[bmw0311bmw]

[goku4life2me]

ilove

[bonhiitha]

I watched this documentary on tv, I almost cry ...

they're so awesome, I love them so much! <33

[BlackLionFilms]

For some reason i think these guys know the answer to life, they know the key to peace. This song gives me hope, i think there is something best to come.

[Javilandy3000]

@BlackLionFilms Pienso lo mismo que tu, demasiado pacifico no?

[caramelizeme]

@BlackLionFilms "the answer to life"... you need help

[BlackLionFilms]

@caramelizeme Fuck you, dumbass, go fuck your mothers dick!

[J0NSI1]

@caramelizeme I pity you. Enjoy the great music, dont be here to abuse others.

[aklanonboy]

awesome!

[gitaristje007]

I'm an enormous fan of these guys. Never get tired of listening to their music. It's the only music I can stand before an oral exam, it makes me relax. Go on making this fabulous music, guys!

[Javilandy3000]

Precioso creo que me a transportado un par de dias bien lejos dentro de mi mente ;)

[BlackLionFilms]

@Javilandy3000 Que curioso, muy bonito ese comentario.

[Shadowplaytime]

É perfeita sim... Mas a letra não é o mais importante, mas sim a mensagem que a música em si, passa... Algo que arrepia, un tanto triste e melancólico, mas esplendorosamento belo... Saudações do outro lado do oceano!

[GetYoMindRgiht]

Aww-Inspiring!!!

[jocinhaaa09]

Esta música é perfeita!!! Apenas não consigo a tradução da letra para português em lugar nenhum!

Jocelaine - Brasil

[mamy1995]

No words can describe this.

Whenever I want to relax I listen to this, it's is just spectacular. Especially the part with the piano"solo".

If there is a band i won't get tired of listening to, it's Sigur Rós

[Frisou277]

I find hard listening to this sometime , it is so touching that it hurts. Anybody understand what i mean ?

[cindycatcorn]

@Frisou277 I know exactly how you feel. The words and the music are so full of emotion, it makes you think of memories, what you loved, what you want, what is gone.

[illswitch]

Rekli bi mi u krndiji, prekrasno!

[Vandalikan]

beautiful!!!

[crissangeloyal]

no words can describe

[yawldude]

this is good but i think the acoustic set in Paris is slightly better in my opinion....love sigur ros

[dreamtheatermygods]

I came across this song yesterday. I've listened to it like a million times since, can't stop. Just wonderful...

[Shafasta1]

yeah their truly amazing

[DeidaraNy123]

this is just plain wonderful hee hee :) Sigur Ros!

[Prestoneil]

What's with the analysis and dissecting of this song???

Just shut up sit back and listen to the beauty of it.

(who cares what he's saying|) it's just amazing!!!

[jaimegallagher]

who is the girl?

[dincz]

Verity Sharp - she was the presenter of the BBC documentary this clip came from.

[jaimegallagher]

thanks!

[vjfern]

@dincz what bbc documentry is this clip from?

[dincz]

@vjfern

Sigur Rós - a Culture Show special (2007-11-07)

[edliwracso]

ive actually noticed that a lot as well,but then listening to the albums i have i noticed that there is actually some semelance of language in this babbling,its sort of like lines of discernable words that are put in patterns but obviously they are not always recited to the letter,im more of afan of the music anyway its truly great

[gummari15]

0:01 I've been there live like a mile away :D

[kritoperrr]

i check this tune out constantly,great tune,any one know the words?

[williamsanders]

There are no word, it's all gibberish (Vonlenska). The lyrics are what you make of these sounds ;)

[phi0618]

Njósnavélin in Essil

(original title: "ete tas Essilev" = "Light's traveller")

"Essil on

Essil on erifet al

Essil on

Essil on eriftel al

Essil on"

[kritoperrr]

sobercaca, what does that mean? im curious!!!!!!!!!!!

[phi0618]

Literal Translation:

"I travelled through light

I travelled through light; I am not afraid"

Poetic translation:

"In this lake of souls

In this lake of souls, I lose all fear"

[djedge40]

there is no translation....all of the ( ) album is hopelandic....ie.....giberish. It means what you want it to mean

[sobercaca]

una cancion genial demuestra mas que musica un sentimiento llega justo al mas profundo secreto D:!

[kritoperrr]

MAN THATS WHATS UP!!!!!!GOOD DEAL!!

[morasthesilva]

Yea but who cares dude....Just enjoy the song.,..it sounds good anyway they bust it......its great

[SergiOeretS]

because is hopelandic

[VincentsSunflower]

beautifully performed......great version.

[henryhaven]

gr8 song gr8 moustache

[teresacallaghan1]

I love this song so much.

[npdavies1025]

Absolutely beautiful.... so much expression in their faces.

[DCGM]

Live with miminal instrumentation is the test of any tune, and of any band.

This is lovely in every way.

[steven3spino]

this is a beautiful song it was so perfect with vanilla sky

[Viciousd]

Jizz in my pants.... so gooooood....

[Ardolino1]

Such a great song and so simple its a really good bit of music

[eufaratine]

I love you

[AlecoreSka]

Bravo !!

[M1903SNIPER]

serenity. like being somewhere so beautiful and almost perfect, but not quite. a milestone theme in a life. that's what i get anyways...

[Johni22]

I wanna see that documentary, what izit?

[dincz]

BBC Culture Show Special first broadcast Nov 7 2007. You should be able to find a torrent.

[wwechamp7]

did Njosnavelin78 call himself after this band?

[ininomis]

handlebar mustache ftw

[DOOBAGE69]

hell yea! I actually want a handlebar moustache after wathing this.

[rellenk]

I think I like it better acoustic.

[umeshpersad]

This song haunts me ... one of the best pieces of music I ever heard

[moonsafari4]

yes where does one get an audio recording of this?

[kyle16813]

i know he is singing in hopelanic but it sounds like he is deliberately saying you know you sat alone at about 4:02. jonsi's voice could stop wars.

[Jennallaa]

he, can anybody tell me on which album this song is released? I can´t find... and it´s one of the best Sigur Rós songs...

[dincz]

It's track 4 on ()

[AlecoreSka]

Bravo !!!

[AlecoreSka]

no efx

[egorja]

that's an awesome mustache

[Sdelphia]

Where can I get the audio file? I love this version!

[paulinedrm]

I absolutely love everything Sigur Ros has done. But for me, this is their best. This is the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.

[andfin001]

As I was younger I was a very loud person!

But this thing ... that takes you by the loss of a beloved person, made me dumb.

This song appears on vanilla sky in the ending scene, which I showed to this person. And marks a turning point.

So Im sitting here looking at this video dumb ...

[lunaticsluna]

waoo.

[weteyemoon]

never mind. i learned it by ear.

[Derekman1988]

I think the version on the vanilla sky soundtrack is good. Im not talking about untitled either

[Kelavmeister]

their studio looks so cozy! I want one too... hah

[Lorenzho]

Better than the original version ! Of course it is

[st4rkus]

this version is much better than original.

[kadir1982]

just full of beauty...(song and the girl)

[weteyemoon]

can someone please find me the piano sheet music for this beautiful song

[kadir1982]

i think i m in love with the girl,she looks very pretty...she is lookin at jonsi with love,probably thinking damn its a shame this guy is gay

[kadir1982]

i think i like the moustache...it adds a lil more of ,of maturity into his look and his presence i think i like it a lot...damn i m 26 and i cant even grow moustache...lol...so i agree with lambofrock

[mikekelley]

This is so epic

[askanison9]

I love this song. It's gorgeous, beautiful and full of emotion. I like the original version with the violin bow being used, but Sigur Ros performing it this way shows how this song is very original and exceptionally written both with the instruments, vocals, and lyrics.

As for the guy who didn't like it, try telling Gilmour that the only "Marooned" or "High Hopes" version is the original. The live versions of those songs are better than the original.

[shiftstart]

Boooooo! Bring back the violin string on electric guitar. Piano? mustache? Nothing haunting about this song.

[polpiv4tifi]

I think they have the right to do whatever they fucking please...you armchair maestro

[shiftstart]

They also have the right to piss on your dead family member's grave with a smile but it doesn't make it right.

[polpiv4tifi]

Yeah; i'm talking in the context of musicians performing a song they wrote. Can you do better than them? If not (and i think you can't) than you don't have the qualifications to have such an opinion.

[shiftstart]

I'm always qualifed to express my opinion. just as you do. End of discussion.

[dincz]

How exactly does a moustache determine whether or not music is haunting?

[shiftstart]

The piano and moustache are in a form of questions. The second sentence is not related to the previous sentence. Its just an expression of an opinion. I know I have the original version and this one sucks arse.

[dincz]

Aha, questions! So what's your question about the moustache?

[shiftstart]

The piano player looks like a 70's pornstar and his only in his 20's!! Shave that monkey off!! Why does he have a moustache??

[lambofrock]

I rather like the moustache, personally. I think it adds "olde worlde charme" to Kjartan's countenance.

[lostlittleduck]

The most beutiful song ever written!

[rusrose]

beautiful

[ronaldonhm]

O Brasil ama Sigur Ros.... amará.... O Piano está perfeito... Parabens

[gator7ginko]

Oh WOW! i really like Sigur Ros. I just fond out about them and I am really enjoying them. thanks SO much for sharing this live performance. cheers =)

[ATokyoite]

Nice, different version - this acoustic version. Kjartten, the pianist, looks considerably older with the mustache. Jonssi never seems to age at all.
