[pjerome2002]

magique... comme d'hab

[Green0059]

Excellent

[SuperMariosBros3]

before  "skins" I think ......

[tiddleskittles]

ive heard this song before idk were though..wasn't it in a movie or something?

[cheilster]

i feel quite stupid asking but what language is this in? anyone mind telling me? i've been listening for a year and i still dont know

[Pineapples413]

it is icelandic.

[pbowns]

Icelandic

[iMoxxy]

Love this song, and the video is just amazing. I feel so much freedom and joy just from listening to this sweet music. :)

[Jagatiii]

this song is so vital!!! brilliant!!!

[isolationeitheror]

saw them live!!!

[boombuzzbeep]

Same, i saw them at Latitude festival 2008 AMAZING!

[juststuffandnonsense]

Aren't they just the sex on stage... expecially lead singer:D

[isolationeitheror]

i saw them at bonnaroo in 2008. I have no adjectives to describe the experience. I was really hoping that they would play starlafur even though its an older song, they didnt but it was still an unforgetable exp.

[bongobangers]

role around in glitter and dance in the forest. mmm sounds like fun

[spikydemon86]

This song makes me feel like a kid again. Takk strákar!

[blazinupdapurp420]

wow i love sigur..this song just feels like iceland very good vibes :D

[trunx16]

i just came back from Iceland!

4 days weren't enough, but I thoroughly enjoyed Reykjavik and the Icelandic horses were quite a sight to see.

Listened to Takk and ágætis byrjun throughout the entire trip.

[ryknolesdunnflea]

Genesis? When I first heard it, I immediately thought of Dave Matthews' "Grey Street". Both are great songs, but this one makes me insanely happy. Search "Grey Street" and check it out. It's uncanny how alike they are, and yet how one is so happy and the other... well, somewhat depressing. But in a good way.

Yay Sigur Ros!!!!

[jronn5452]

Dave Matthews is a tasteless piece of shit blog about that. Long live Sigur Ros

[wyolette]

bwahahahaha i disagree but still...

[IceKing6604]

exactly what i thought

[koolfree101]

the guitar chords remind me of Genesis songs

[Monokoto]

"Corre que te pillo" song by Los Jaivas

[Gaspardg]

Je suis limite en état de transe en écoutant sa, lmao.

[tarfun5959]

0:32 Foot or Hand?

[riddlerhax]

foot, last i checked hands didn't have calves haha

[n15M0]

lmao

[ShadowNeverDies]

dude other videos allow the video, why won't you dog. And all the other people, the video is elsewhere on youtube.

[dejankidoedeldankie]

beautiful sound, love sigur ros!

[mnkpepper]

animal collectivish

[dopamiine]

nudity is normal! people always link nudity to sex which isn't really fair because everyone is naked... under their clothes of course. anyway, great song.

[anja2020]

oh damn i pressed spam instead of reply...lol

Very true the real video is beautiful they're so childlike in it. I'm sure everyone has at least one picture from their childhood where your parents catch you running around in your birthday suit...lol

[nclax0903]

this is my ringtone! i love it!! thank you Derek!!!!

[99Maic]

We'll find the journal in ICELAND!

[evanazo]

sigur ros live = heaven

[xMonkFishx]

been there done that ^^

[fluffynelly]

I actually think it's a relatively good summary of the video.

I mean... I prefer to orginal (of course), but all things considered.. I can settle when I just want to hear the song.

-K

[K2Tanner]

I think youtube is stupid for censoring artistic nudity, but its youtubes decision, not the american people. Please don't generalize the american people based on a vocal minority.

[waleedq]

well come on, children have access to you-tube.

i don't mind some nudity here and there.

but still, think of the children :P

[HolyRomanEmpire0]

screw the children! I want boobies!

[chantillachinchilla]

this song is so beautiful.

i first heard it with christian the lion, and the mix of that video and this song made me fall in love with both.

[RosSigurs]

Iceland

[kristenluther]

This is so beautifully done. I really enjoyed it!

[beamilly]

i LOVE this song! this band is so organic and airy! makes you feel like summer!

[Evilmexicandictator]

listen to their old stuff and feels soooooo much like winter.

[jotatanv]

all their songs makes me feel in differents seasons ... spring the most of them

[LightStijn]

Displaying nudity is forbidden in America. Selling guns to kids is not?

That's sick. Period.

[Lab3920]

Selling guns to kids is illegal in America. Where do you get your information?

[LightStijn]

The news. School shootings.

[Synthysizer]

lol

[theonlykime]

we dont sell guns to kids ,criminals sell guns to kids criminals in all countrys sell guns to kids

[babywenttoamsterdam]

americans are so fucking up tight with nudity...censure this utube

[perrygill27]

I wish we had total sexual freedom in our society........we're still so backwards about our sexual concerns even in this modern age...

[billab0ng18o]

where did they get the name for this song............

[wmwmw]

It was originally supposed to be called "Gobbeldigob", which is the icelandic Onomatopoeia for horses hooves (clippity-clop in english), but the producer spelled it wrong and they just left it like that.

[garfreeek]

that's interestingg, thanks!

[zacheryandersen]

it's about mother nature reclaiming her childern

[samaelua]

cool song =)

[lilblig77]

What time signature is this in?

[freese2008]

I believe it is in 4/4 with some serious hemiola action. For the most part through out the song I feel like the beat is in 4 with triplets thrown in and some wicked syncopation. Awesome song.

[lilblig77]

I'm working it out, and I'm starting to fill the 4/4, but they do add some extra beats. The chorus is basically 9/4(one 4/4 and one 5/4). I just always get lost in the change from the intro to the first verse. I never come in at the right time.

[collina24]

I believe it starts (after the guitar intro) with 2 measures of 9\4, then at the beginning of the words there are again 2 measures of 9\4; then when it says "only" or something like that, there is a 4\4 measure; then again 2 measures of 9\4; it repeats quite always like this...

That 9\4 with all that odd accents is great!

[SmExiiLaDy]

I love this song to death, but i just wish i knew what they were saying. can anyone spill to me?

[Tyramica]

þú hatta fjúka lætur í loft þú regnhlíf snú á hvolf allt of oft ó nei, ekki, ó þú þök að fjúka út á brot sjó þú hári strjúka faldinum sló óhræsisstrákur vindur í hárinu þú augu fjúka í sand tárast þú tyggigúm í hendir hár fast óhræsisstrákur vindur í hárinu Good luck!

[SmExiiLaDy]

OMG XD

[Tyramica]

???????????

[ButterflyStarla]

Its about getting back to nature, he says in the chorus, wind in the hair, wind in the hair. Its, as I sense it, a song about reconnecting with a deeper part of ourselves, away from the norm of conformity and the extreme busyness of the day. Its all about wind and upside down umbrellas...indeed a lovely song :]

[p44v9n]

You hats make fly into the air You turn umbrellas inside out too often Oh no, don't You roofs blow out into the stormy sea You hair stroke and hem blowing Prankster boy You (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala lalalala) Wind in hair (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala) Your eyes blow sand, tears You gum throw in hair stuck Prankster boy You (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala lalalala) Wind in hair (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala)

[katzealelisal]

thanks for coming to Guadalajara at june 2007 amazing presentation !! please get back !!

[cinemaduda]

GENIAL!!!SIMPLEMENTE GENIAL!!!*-*

[Helgiguitar]

Án efa besta hljómsveit sem að Ísland hefur gefið af sér, punktur....... =)

[medeepblue]

The real video really made me realize how ridiculous it is that a videolike this, which presents nudity in it's pure, natural form and surroundings, in which we are so free that it is only natural that we are not restricted by clothing, will get banned without thought. All this while the misogynistic video's are shown on television without a problem.

[admiralzzyx]

A distinction should indeed be made between nudity of the sexual/abusive type and nudity of the nonsexual type.

[roooooveeeeeeerrrrrt]

la musica es el sonido que hace que el tiempo sea agradable los sonidos de sigur ros son geniales.........lalalalalalal­a

[maybilc]

oh my gosh i just watched the official vid from there site lol

lots of nudity??

[blelanka44]

elska þetta!

[ipod1978]

This song is amazing. Have heard it loads of times but live at the MOMA in NYC is def the best. (Search youtube: Sigur Ros, Live at Moma Part 6) does anyone know if and where i can get an mp3 of this version. Cheers

[wglmb]

You know there's a link in the video description ;)

[MJgirl4ever]

so proud!

[quixoster]

Maneiro este som, tem um clima meio celta e a idéia do clip é super original...

[mwyffs41]

total fucking rip of Grey Street

[abbottgr]

lol i can definitely see that, similar chords

[KingLegendary1]

tru just the cords tho

[WatermelonMachete]

just the chords, yeah.

unlike Dave Matthews band, though, this band doesn't make me want to shoot myself.

[wwtouched]

its in 5/4

[fhcumpire]

does anybody know what time sigiature this track is being played in?

[Resound]

14:8, I think

[ADHDspider]

Cool.

[deemar325]

Interesting

Don't know if I like it, but I don't hate it either

someone school me on these cats

[SgtSanchez]

what? no... that's not how the internet works. you don't ask for help in the youtube comments section. try google or something.

[Jasmine4832]

LOL

[deemar325]

Too late got what I needed from someone else.

Courtesy didn't die when youtube was created.

[KingLegendary1]

their an icelandic post rock group personally i think Saeglopur[lost seafarer is their best song in ORIGINALITY

[Mingus18]

I think it would be really funny if Sigur Ros' mind frame for this video was "fuck it, lets have a bunch of naked chicks run around with us." I sincerely doubt that-but it would be funny.

[lunatorrnasol]

me encanta todo lo ke ase este hombre

[DiabolicBadger]

FIrst of all, you don't justify if something is art by explaining what it signifies. Maybe 200 years ago, but not any more. Second, it doesn't matter if you like or dislike the video, it is definitely intended to be artistic, as opposed to pornographic, and therefore it shouldn't be censored.

[builtsigurspillros]

this version doesn't do the song justice. The song is perfect on its own, but the real video truly captures the tone of the song... nudity can be artful, and is a part of human nature. People need to get over their preconceived notion that being naked is obscene.

[verwustung88]

Verry well said, nudity as form of art is very very beautiful, it shows the human being in it´s most innocent and pure form.

[Alemap7]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[fuckinlayne]

this song of them sounds a little bit like radiohead. doesn´t matter. i love both bands.

[kazzi05]

It's funny that if movies in America have nudity, witch is perfectly natural, they are rated for the ages of 18+ but if they show a man being murdered with a led pipe or crazy violence they are in the worst case rated 12+.

That's really messed up.

[spinhook888]

Gotta keep that supply of armed forces volunteers steady, don'tcha know.

[lolalover]

ha ha this is my alarm clock in the morning and I really need to change it because it just reminds me of waking up too early in the morning. Random but great song!

[VenusinFurs90]

I don't really care about the music video. the thing is I like the song. IDC about naked ppl... -__-

[thespread]

it's videos like this that make me embarrassed about liking sigur ros. you can't really blame people for slapping the pretentious label on them.

[karman017]

weird comment.

[mattgill1992]

when will people learn that art doesn't directly equate to pretension? =(

for the record, both the video and song are incredible and it's a disgrace that youtube won't show it because it contains "adult content" or whatever.

anyone who seriously appreciates art of any kind will be able to look beyond the nudity and see that it's not simply naked people running around. it's not as if the song's called "ha ha ha boobies!" or something.

[thespread]

Please justify how this video is art. What does it signify?

[thecircleisperfect]

FREEDOM.

[thespread]

deep, man...

like the song but still feel the videos message is simplistic and kind of spoils it.

[mattgill1992]

basically what the other two said. our society has somewhere along the line become pre-occupied with the idea that the human body is something to be covered up and hidden when really, it's one of nature's greatest feats and is a thing of pure beauty.

back, thousands of years ago (ancient greece comes to mind) nudity was fully accepted and even encouraged. don't always think of things in terms of what the current social norm is. if everyone did that, human endeavour would have got us nowhere

[salamisora]

muy bonita cancion

;)

[redstrat8]

METACAFE HAD NAKED WOMEN

[khoriuchi777]

始原の森？

北欧の世界観て不思議だよな・・・

[waavick]

buenisima

[hawjhawj68]

The reason we can't see the real version here is because YouTube is still living in the dark ages with regard to the unclothed human body. (Unless of course, the subject of the video happens to be a photoshoot by Spencer Tunick?! All other videographers and photographers are treated by a different standard.) YouTube needs to get a clue, and learn to recognize the difference between the nude human body, and sexual explicitness. They are not same thing. YouTube can't seem to grasp that concept.

[pappuyaar121]

i double dat...

[vickymorales]

te amo sigur ros! :)

[alefeap]

Sigur Rós, þið eruð góðir í þessum vídjó! Ég elska ykkur! Komið til Brasilíu aftur!

:D

[alefeap]

Sigur Rós, þið eruð góðir í þessum vídjó! Ég elska ykkur! Komið til Brasilíu aftur!

:D

[Zedetnik]

This song is so great

[Sandwichesaregood418]

This new song definitely sounds Animal Collective-y But their old albums sound way different from this.

[11albinogiraffes]

This album is so good

[xSangel99X]

only noobs would report the actual video. I thought it was actually really pretty. It's not like its freaking porno or something

[YesChef08]

i'm gonna report this........... for being frickin awesome

[xSangel99X]

xD

right on? :P

[donzoot]

animal collective rip off

[AWM05]

whatever happened to words like "inspired" or "influenced"?

[donzoot]

valid

[Gishelm]

Sigur Rós was formed years before Animal Collective, they don't sound anywhere close to being similar anyway.

[saxerlr]

LOL?  you mean Animal Collective Ripped off them... go look at the CD release dates... Sigur Ros has been around about 6 years longer than Animal Collective..

[ShaneDignan]

Sigur Ros certainly has been around much longer than Animal Collective, and they are one of my favorite groups, but let's be honest -- bands constantly evolve, and Sigur Ros really hasn't done anything that has sounded like this before. I know my first reaction was, "Wow, this sounds like Animal Collective."

Nothing wrong with that at all.

[donzoot]

However this particular song was released after all Animal Collectives albums to date, non? awm 05 has a valid point and I retract all that I said in my first post, however what I meant is Sigur Ros have been heavily influenced by bands like Animal Collective in their new sound.

[11albinogiraffes]

Animal Collective isn't as good as Sigur Ros

[donzoot]

justify it

[11albinogiraffes]

it's my own opinion

[SgtSanchez]

what noise sounds like is subjective. you hear a horse, I hear a butterfly, you hear animal collective, I hear Sigur Ros. Big deal. Honestly, to me, there is only a SLIGHT similarity. Neither ripped off neither. And this is 100% different than the shit they are hawking on the radio.

[kayenar54]

perfect response.

[pyncz1991]

Boskie! Sigur Rós są najlepsi!

[pineider]

Under-the-blankets Music.

[werebackintown]

i freaking love this song. if this is off the new album. so much better. in my opinion.

[yent22]

Very , very exciting. With this wideo the band leader, who is gay, makes people accept all the ways of body language, also the "sensual" and even the "sexual" way, male to female, and male to male. You can see, he's very concentrated on the male to male playing. The scene of the body painting is deeply sensual: one boy is writing "naughty boy" on the body of another boy, caressing him from the face to his penis. Yes, that's so straight (to the heart) !!

[p44v9n]

all this debate about naked people being happy...

no freedom on youtube...but you can watch people getting beaten up, and violent protests..

[Azrael77]

Why is censored ? is not even porn.. just naked happy people ! fuck censorship !

[ayjafari]

absolutely brilliant.

[tomtothemax]

seeing this song live is something that everyone should experience in their life, even better if you can see them for a whole set. Magical

[lvdias]

the full version is amazing

[LostOddity]

i love this song^^ this music is all very reflective, even if i have no idea what he's saying^^

[odilemonod]

You hats make fly into the air / You turn umbrellas inside out too often / Oh no, I see - oh/ You roofs blow out into the stormy sea/ You hair stroke and hem blowing/ Prankster boy

You (Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala lalalala)/ Wind in hair - ooh ooh/ Wind in hair - ooh ooh/ Wind in hair - ooh ooh/ Wind in.../(Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala)

Your eyes blow sand, tears/You gum throw in hair stuck/Prankster boy/chorus

[alepgo]

finally i understand a sigur ros' song hehe! even though it's kinda unneccessary, the sounds are so magical!!!

[BuckFush64]

[luisstone]

Hey Maugter ....Go get a Life!!

[Vermicide1]

fuck u

its called the 1st amendment

[owyeah85]

Dude, it's not pornography.. The video does contain explicit nudity BUT...

All the women in there are 'beautiful' in nature's way, I'd rather have my kids look at this video than have em looking at a rap/hip hop video with so called 'sexy' girls bouncing their boobs and asses around.

[Ceb773]

what kid is gonna be watching sigur ros videos that isn't old enough to make his own decisions?

[PEIskate]

Hahahahaha I love you

[alonsoroman]

its art... its a way to express something.. plus its a beautiful song... its waaaay healthier to watch this than any nazi operations or all that violent trash

[eccentricsimpleton]

Open your eyes. You need to see this video for what it really is. Please don't mistake it for 'pornography'.

[rovku]

Hi. You must be from the USA. In the rest of the world, nudity is not necessarily synonymous with pornography.

We are born naked, you know.

[Frozenhotdogger]

Well said. Unfortunately here, a penis is synonymous with murder.

[Nox404]

and unfortunately here in Canada we are heavily influenced by the US.

[parkt6792]

in my experience, in America, if you show any skin whatsoever, you are immediately arrested for 'public skin showing'. You have to wear coats and masks and thick heavy boots to get a cup of sugar from your neighbor. nobody knows what anybody looks like.

[kayenar54]

eh, i think you have to experience more, or at least think a little more about your experiences in america, before making a comment like this.

[parkt6792]

I was being sarcastic because people were saying how ooh Americans are so uptight and anti the human body and blah blah blah. but yeah this one's an Amazing album. Special mention track three. One of God's melodies, - it's always existed, and Sigur Ros found it somehow. So good.

[wichinski]

aii no mams wey ponte a leer pinche ignorante de mierda fuck you

[naruto3k5]

dude the real version is friken weird evryon in it is in there birthday suits running around as if there on crack and mary j

[dancios]

big thx 4 this tune :) first true smile on my face after a long time

[badajod]

honestly, i dont like the song, but the video looks great

[mikeyp424]

reminds me of grey street by dave matthews band with a different beat

[Yadarfyn]

This... is... weird...

[pitsches1987]

imazing :)

[HOPSCOTCHPIRATE]

when i bought this album, saw the cover, and was blown away by this first track, i knew i could understand them aside from language. something beautiful, down to earth, and full of hope...running away from what me make ourselves to be and to what is true, delicate, alive. its such a celebratory song.

[beckandradiohead]

Well, if someone find the translation, put it in comments, please!

[Alexisrompemadres]

Ok...its official. This is the best song Ive heard since...the noose....(a perfect circle) I cant understand nothing at all but I will search the translation! It kind of reminds me of a "happier" radiohead...hahahaha. Nah just kidding but Sigur Ros are pretty good! Gobbledigook ITS MY RINGTONE!
