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.
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" =..)
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.
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".
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.. :/
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
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.
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!
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...
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.
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??
Hi, we are a new band called Koi, we are very inspired by SR, their massive climaxes and the atmospheric dynamics. We have a new album coming soon and want to inform you of that, search for "Koi-Less Than Abstract" for our mellow side, "Koi-Breaking of the Day" for our metal side, or "Koi-The Rabbit" for our more energetic up-tempo side. Hope you don't mind a struggling small band trying to spread their word :) Anyway, check it out, you might like it! Rock on! //Patrik
Debut album by Koi coming soon, two tracks available at the KoiChannel. Search for "Koi-Terminal Souls" or "Koi-The Rabbit". For fans of Sigur Ros. Hope you don't mind me informing you. Cheers! //Patrik
