  • i don't get it :/

  • I red somewhere that the band wasn't pleased with this video. I wonder why, i feel it fits perfectly with the music and the story is simple, yet cautivating.

  • 4:10 - problably the prettiest girl in the world

  • I took this from the cinematographer's quote about the last kid:

    "he was only capable of only so much, he's tiny, but, the reluctant attitude worked well for his character since he was the last of the pack" "the little guy definitely flies at the end, the drummer boy was far too caring throughout the video to let little timmy down" =..)

  • one of the bests. beautiful touch of a child's soul in an unbelievable song. sigur rós is it!

  • really good

  • I cant understand this!!

  • one word can speak for millions

  • @shanet9922 Tu as tout à fait raison ! la voix de la lumière , la voix de l'amour... ;)))

  • its so simple.

  • the last child fell to his death for sure, now he can fly with his pals ,filmed in the rugged hills of Iceland not Germany

  • the last kid smiled so i thing he´s just flying

  • was the last kid only who failed to jump to death? or was the last kid only who was alive?

  • I think the last kid was the only one who died at not dearing to jump when he had to do it, at not taking risks in life and not trying to reach his dreams.

  • is this german? what country are these kids from? this would've been so fun to be in

  • The band is from iceland, I am guessing the video was probably shot there too? :)

  • ~ wunderschön ~

  • this is such an awesome song Sigur Ros is awesome

  • This is one of my favorite from Sigur Ros, amazing song, fantastic music video.

  • Candid, child´s soul.....nice

  • This song makes me want to be a better person :.)

  • Hmmm. *poke*

    What's stopping ya? :]

  • this was awesome

  • How is he doing with make this Fabulus, GREAT AWESOME MUSIC!

  • This music makes me smile again, and again...So great !!!

  • Ich musste weinen.

  • I believe it's called "Volenska" Icelandic gibberish.

  • There is no Vonlenska in Glósóli

  • This song is very flowing,

    I feel i can lie on the ground,

    and let the things go in and out of my body .. It gives me wings to fly!!

    The marches are completely suitable to the meaning of the song. growing up, moving, marches ....

  • fucking moving.

  • what an incredible song..! This is pure magic, it's even more than just magic, something I can't explain..But I feel it everytime i listen to their music..This is art in it's piurest form, Sigur Ros are amazing

    But I also thought this could interest some of you who like this kind of music...Some days ago I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia". ALl of you should give a listen to their song "Falling into nothingness".

    Amazing newcomerband..trust me..

  • One of the most beautiful portraits of growing up I have ever seen...

  • are all their music videos as epic as this? I've seen Hoppipolla too.. wow

  • wat about the lil dude at the end?, looks like he didnt fly lol

  • RIP lil dude..

  • woops, i getcha...

    a little slow =|

  • @cjodyssey i know right?!

  • This video makes me feel like I can fly too.

  • Where is this band (guy?) from?

    what language is it?

  • Wow..I dont remember this video being this awesome first time i saw it a saw months ago. 5\5!

  • this kinda reminds me of peter pan...

  • the antithesis to Lord of the Flies..LOL

  • Great song and video, I really wanna go to Iceland =)

  • "To fall or fly on an endless sky"

  • Damn, this has got to be my favorite video on the whole internet.

  • "Let the dead bury their own dead; you, come follow me."

  • breathtaking.

  • Icelandic is such a beautiful language!

  • It's just so, words can't describe it

  • my god this is epic

  • Listening to Sigur Rose, is like U experience beauty of art

  • i wanna go to iceland, even the ugly ones are pretty. im sicky of brazilian's uglyness.

  • @felipegm86 i bet you are ugly as fuck, in iceland, that how you call us, we are goddamn beautyfull, so go and give me some sugar negroe.

  • u didnt even understand wat the person said although his/her comment was equally stupid as yours

  • are you uneducated ?? what you are saiyng is what i JUST said. I was saying how beautifull your people are, whenever it is, in case you still dont understand...

  • such a great song, sigur ros can produce some of the hardest music an artist can produce. amazing piece of art.

  • hardest?

  • glosoli means glowing sun (:

    so inspiring.

  • If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?

  • lmao. good one.

  • It's beyond me how any artists, particularly Sigur Ros, can capture such beauty in a single song, and then provoke such tranquility, and emotion. So inspiring.

  • watching this video always makes my day :)

  • Yeah, I definitely cried.

  • I'm icelandic so i know what they're saying! :)

  • I'm jealous :(

  • nei, þú hvað líður eigi

  • @Babbacheek wow stfu i have seen you post this on more then one of there videos already. we get it. what you want a cookie?

  • Oh wow, your following my trend and posting on more than one video? Im touched, really. But seriously if you have nothing better to do than criticise other peoples posts, than you are one sad person. Sorry for being proud of my heritage.

  • look at the one who knows more about others than they do themselves!

  • Comment removed

  • You posted the same exact comment on "Hoppipolla" .. and the song is mainly sung in Vonleska, which is purely gibberish... Need some attention eh?

  • What are you talking about? This song is entierely in Icelandic.

  • No it's not, there is a part in Vonleska, a "language" invented by Sigur Ros, it's gibberish, nobody can understand it.

  • I know what Hopelandic is, I'm just telling you that there is none in Glosoli. It's all in Icelandic. It's used in most of the other songs on Takk...but not in Glosoli.

  • Yeah posted this in the wrong video, this song is entirely in Icelandic, this was meant for Hoppìpolla.

  • one of the most beautiful music videos ive ever seen, as for the song too

  • Actually....

    When I first see this video....

    I think they would have to commit suicide....

    But they fly away~

  • Oh crap!!!! Does he get his drum back??

  • maybe he can fly back to get his drum XDD

  • Comment removed

  • simply amazing.

  • sickest video ive seen in a while

  • Breathtaking!

  • Haunting.

  • this video creeped me out

  • ah i get chills at 4:41

  • what album is this on??? i love when it picks up at 4:41

  • It is on Takk

  • Very cool! Search for "Star FK Karmara" if you are a fan of instrumental music.

  • Thanks, lovely song.

  • la sensacion de libertad que expresa el video al final me hace muy feliz.. gran video!! y sobre todo.. gran gran banda!!.. quisiera algun dia poder verlos en vivo.. :/

  • our world is so hurt...

  • Takk fyrir! This is an Icelandic fairy tale!

  • Yeah

  • How does the fairy tale go? And where can I find an English version of it.

  • I think there is no english version.

  • Ohhh. But could you please give a short description of the content? The way the kids started flying in the end reminded me of Peter Pan. That would mean the fairy tale might perhaps have been a source for Peter Pan story.

  • Sigur Ros remind me of many other musicians, like Wim Mertens,but they are unique. I just read that jonsi is listening to a lot of old jazz now. Can´t wait to hear what he comes up with!

  • yes he falls but he still happy its sigur ros man its not realistic but thats don't change anything.i have seen the full music video on the tv here in iceland so i know it

  • two of my favorite songs/videos are this one and the one with the old people gangs, hoppipolla.

  • this video always makes me cry

  • We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

  • Amazing... I can just smell mother earth when I watch and listen to these videos...

  • LOVE THEM

  • The audio here is great... I really can't believe how sigur stuns me over and over, it doesn't seem possible for one band to be able to touch so many elements of beauty.

  • exactely =)

  • this is so incredibly beautiful.

  • lol the kid @ the end just falls, poor little dude

  • no he does not just fall. You just see him jump and then a close up of him smiling.

  • oh well, im glad that we have clarified that. if you didnt correct me people would have thought i wasnt paying enough attention. now every one will know. good stuff.

  • luv sigur ros!! search for "Star Training Wheels" features a recent live performance of the up and coming instrumental band star fk radium.  moody and perfect!

  • Amazing.....

  • Does anybody know the name of the song with all the elderly folks

  • Hoppipolla (hoppa í polla) its called. i think this is the original video too ;)

  • Comment removed

  • hoppipolla

  • the song with the elderly folks is Hoppipolla

  • never mind I should have looked hard

  • If this would be in English it would be sacriledge... Nothing less...

    This video combined with this song is so beautifull it makes me cry.

  • why are none of my favorite songs in english? lol i love Sigur Ros!

  • Comment removed

  • inspiration music

  • *****

  • @ 4:27

    That child is beautiful in an art-way. :O

    Darn what a face!

  • love this. (: best song\video for me atm. xxx

  • Peter Pan :)

  • Go on a journey And roam the streets Can't see the way out And so use the stars She sits for eternity And then climbs out She's the glowing sun So come out I awake from a nightmare My heart is beating Out of control
  • Glowing Sun (Bright Sun) Now that you're awake Everything seems different I look around But there's nothing at all Put on my shoes, I then find that She is still in her pyjamas Then found in a dream I'm hung by (an) anticlimax She is with the sun And it's out here But where are you...
  • If only I could understand the language! I'm sure there is some very beautiful words which acompanies an already beautiful melody.

  • im slightly shocked at the shallowness that some people posses. this song, this band, is incredible. i don't even think they have to try to make something beautiful. and everything just makes sense.

  • this song is used in a lot of the invisible children's videos.

    check out the invisible children. they aren't a band, lol.

  • Finally someone else who has heard of them.

  • ita the new age version of the litle drummer boy :)

  • it's actually about a kid who got lost at band camp with only his bass drum in hand. then, he found other kids that got lost at last years band camp, and they formed a club called "the amazing flying pre-adolescents club". the end...i thought that was obvious??

  • lol

  • this song is so beautiful and can be interpreted in so many ways.

    personally i think it's about the innocence of childhood and possibly how destructive adults can be.

  • hér ert þú...glósóli...

  • did they died ?

  • it was a happy ending ... so i guess no

    =]

  • Fraid so, in the director's cut they're all hit by a flying bus.

  • hilarious...i bet it was a blood bath , tho.

  • lol

  • Absolutely beautiful video and music.

    Just shows how much beauty there really is in this world in its simplicity.

  • breathtaking

  • In such a cynical and tumultuous world, it's easy to forget the beauty we are capable of.

  • Beautiful song!

  • thumbs up!

  • One of the best songs ever

  • The last kid hesitates slightly, but then he flies too.

  • Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors.

    But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

  • Lovely sentiment. I wish I could see things that way.

  • wait what the fuck happend to the last kid?

  • he's fine. The band said before that they did not mean to convey anything about the last kid. Just was weird how it was shot.

  • He´s in the sea.

  • GOD.

    BLESS.

    SIGUR RÓS!

  • I think just about every personality/Character I'v met, is conveyed in this video!

  • Sigur Ròs manages to convey through his music emotions impressive independentede you be happy or sad ... that is Sigur Ros.

  • i get high on sigur ros! whether i'm kidding or not... i'm still addicted.

  • PeonSanders911 is spot on!

  • I love you Sigur Ros and the very touching and emotional music that you create

  • that was hilarious

  • this sounds vaguely reminiscent of the soundtrack in the Gladiator. can anyone confirm if this is the actual song?

  • It is not....the song you are probally thinking of is "now we are free" by Lisa Gerrard (#17 on the soundtrack, and played at the end of the movie)

    Both good songs....

  • It isnt.

  • Definitely not the actual song, but I can understand where you see the resemblance.

  • PS thumbs down me all you want it won't change the fact that I'm right.

  • How does saying God gave them their talent/work ethic take away from the preciousness of it? Respect other people's beliefs, god. (no pun intended)
