Olafur Arnalds - Raein

[TheEvilbride]

So beautiful it hurts

[ofekktmusik]

ofekkt - alheart 

[Broden124]

It feels so incomplete, like there shouldn't be an ending.

[tkeitt09]

I love this music so much I sleep to it and it has given me some of the most pleasant dreams i can remember!

[MdmaMadnesS]

I just love this song so much...This always touches the deepest of my heart with every listen...It's so beautiful that it nearly hurts...it's art in it's purest form...

I now hope, that no one sees this as a spam, but I think that good music needs to be shared..

I found a guy on youtube called "Silvio Pfiffner"

If you've got enough tim, listen to his song "Coming home" and "Time changed everything"

Such Breathtaking and powerful songs by this young, talented guy..

[Aisurustudio]

fantasitic. amazing. speechless. your song moves hearts. please keep up the good work. your musical touch.. amazes me.

[MrJeromeDwt]

this is majestic

[Oberknallerin]

wrote my first poem to this song, after several years without writing...

thanks so much for this wonderful song.



[Darkknight9955]

highly under rated artist.

[DoctorAndHisTARDIS]

13 people don't have souls.

[rodrigocrzv]

[OxyZero]

@rodrigocrzv pussy.

[xyouwillrocksx]

[AJAyOn1]

[a13xR75]

Very nostalgic. I love it.

[butlikereally]

where have i heard this before!! has it been used in a movie??

[Personoide]

When I grow up, I want to be Icelandic.

[jester051972]

best season for that amazing music

[22ivj04]

Magnifique!

[SianPalmi3ri1]

this is absolutely beautiful <3

[m665s]

this is beautiful. He's Pure Genius

[nadakyo]

This is lovely, but I still think Secret Garden still has this guy beat.

[cvg1099]

So as per the description, people are supposed to be crying at the 0:01 mark, or technically even before that?

[teri223]

sigur ros is also awesome!

[bonkanater]

Words can't explain how wonderful this song us! It's amazing what we can create in music.

[leltard]

why did Friday get more views than this?

[dabubbsta1]

Listen to this song with rainymood (.) com

It is AMAZING <3

[heeiiii]

I don't usually listen to this kind of music but this is absolutely beautiful. I can imagine this track in a intimate movie scene.. just two lovers fondling each others body after years of being apart :))

[fheisk]

@heeiiii fondling does not sound romantic, sounds creepy. not that fondling can't be romantic, the word itself makes me think of kiddie diddlers though

[heeiiii]

@fheisk uhm.. good for you. or not.

[pinky1494]

at first i thought his face was moving

[KyandyDesign]

thank you for this amazing song, i don't know why but this give me hope

[Adrillius]

@KyandyDesign

It's because you fell that you are not alone in those feelings.

[GuyFromCoby]

@littlebeans00 Or you can be normal and learn to play the song out of joy of the music.

[feibian333wolf]

I always cry with this song! but still I LOVE IT!

[9889lizzy]

I'm shaking after my millionth time hearing this.

[smileygurl100]

thank you.

[chelilandia]

Movi DIRECTORS MUST use this guys for movies...I think not even actors will be need it for the scenes

[bitbloop]

If you like this kind of thing, you'll also be able to appreciate Maxence Cyrin, his piano work is amazing. Just pure emotion in a simple melody. These guys need to get noticed more, please give him a listen!

[TheEvilbride]

i shed tears :')

[MagicularSpectacular]

One of my school teachers showed one of Arnalds' songs to us today. I'm not sure what the other students thought of it, but as soon as I got home I started looking up his songs. I've been browsing all the way through his songs ever since. Today is one of my last school days, so I'm very happy he showed it to us when he did, otherwise I would have gone without hearing this.

[OhFuck89]

The sad thing about it is, that there is nothing in our world, that could match his songs in their beauty.

[lizzybelle96]

this works well with Hægt, kemur ljósið when played at the same time

[StarStruckbyBlaze]

If this is the kind of music they play on the radio and/or absolutly love in Iceland...I'M SO MOVIN' THERE!! It's better than that racist-sexist-unreliable-crap that comes out now. This kind of music is...I can't even put it into words...

[kirara09871234]

@StarStruckbyBlaze you and me both

[alessiohelen]

change the picker sorry

[BestOfYou666]

Beautiful and so sad ❤

[Bicyclesolidarity]

There are no words...

[ABigToeforYou]

@Bicyclesolidarity correct

[suicidalbitchh]

i ♥_♥ it ! ^^

[akos0729]

how can i download it?

[keviokevio]

This song is great, but I feel weird staring at the top of Olafur's head...

[xXMercifulFallXx]

I love this song!!!!

[JanciTale]

I really like his songs! It is SO fantastic...

[newlyborn09]

i'll say it again...the guy's a genious

[riotkittyNS]

I wish there was a replay button for Youtube, for this song. ;_;

[marciaphillips]

Simply exquisite - I first heard Olafur's music on the radio, driving home on a snowy moonlit night. It made me feel so peaceful.

Maybe Raein is someone's name?

[Petalflipper]

@marciaphillips You heard it on the radio?! Where do you live with actual awesome radio stations?:P

[marciaphillips]

@Petalflipper - I heard his music on CBC2 Canada. They played #5 from And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness. How did you discover his music?

[Petalflipper]

@marciaphillips I was lookng for more awesome Icelandic musicians, because there seems to be a lot in Iceland, and I was just looking through music on YouTube and ran across it.

I think I'm officially moving to Canada:) Ok, not really....well maybe, the U.S. is getting kind of pathetic.

Sorry for slow response, I thought it was supposed to tell me when people comment on my comments in my e-mail and it didn't.

[marciaphillips]

@Petalflipper If you like Olafur you might like to check Yann Tiersen's music (from Brittany). Lots of clips on youtube - I like Rue des cascades.

[Petalflipper]

@marciaphillips I actually saw things on YouTube about Yann Tiersen, but havn't clicked on any of the links yet. I will though. I like all sorts of music. I'm never genre-specific, I like a bit of everything. There's of course the genres I prefer, and dislike more. As far as Iceland goes, I like this, now Johann Joahnnsson (might be mispelled), Sigur Ros, Mum, Amiina, and Bjork. Favorate being Sigur Ros. I also like Radiohead, Muse (not as much as Radiohead), Huun Huur Tu, and Nyctalgia.

[Petalflipper]

@marciaphillips to name a few. If you want any links I can send you some, however I do that:)

[ZakeirSnake]

I like the music, it's very beautiful, and sways in almost in a poetic motion.

but please tell this man to stop staring at me D:

[Kasek126]

I don't normally do this, but- thumbs up if you got linked here by Berk Ozturk.

[jetlagsyndrome]

innocence, sorrow, calmness, depth, flowing, cold. the piano feels like raindrops.

that's how i describe it.. just weave those feelings and that's sort of it.

cheers!

[Vendetti]

so touching

[AdrenalineRProd]

all the words gonna be worthless to describe this.

[Bastiosidelamusika]

this is flashin me so bad

[KARMIK20]

you really touched my soul :)

[logos5miling]

Saw him in concert last night in Chicago, absolutely incredible! This song had not been played though, apparently never having been rehearsed before. Regardless, it was still absolutely amazing. It was truly a life experience, and has really inspired me :)

[TWSSProductionsTV]

Where's the LOVE button?

[foebieke]

Love it..and the last accords are like Bach:)

[Ptinski]

So gratifying to read how many figured out why this is affecting them so deeply. Purity in sound, honesty in one's heart's desires, he seems to explore all that and share it without fear.

[cherrystraws]

this is so beautiful

[Angelinka9]

So breathtaking, so precise, so wonderfull, so beautiful...Im out of words, really. I think I will love this man:-)

[Nicko93]

Aaaaaah, now that's soothing :)

[rottenpeach2016]

Meh

[tharwpoop]

just when i thought oli's music couldnt get any better......what the hell...

[cmonshakeit]

This song gives me chills. Absolutely beautiful...

[cheesinnn]

this song moved me so much. i couldn't imagine a more beautiful song to choreograph my audition solo to for college.

[tgore4]

the most relaxing music i have ever listened to.... this is amazing. and if you really like this guy you should listen to what he did for Heaven Shall Burn..amazing

[w0rldd0minat0r]

Having listened to this song 50 times, this song has in fact incited anger in me -- anger that the world is not as beautiful as this, as beautiful as it should be...

[Cathye3]

This is one of my favorites, also 3055.

[Anseflans]

There must be something in the water over there in Iceland.. Because everything they make is pure gold. <3

[Smilegyrl222]

@Anseflans Believe me, it's the volcano ashes. ;) But I agree - Gold it is...

[CAPITALIZEDNAME]

@Anseflans If no one has told you yet or if that's what you were aiming at, it's a half-interesting fact that they have the purest water in the world :)

[50calfrag]

@Anseflans Lol yeah its called real water, not like the crap we have in the usa. their's is pure ours has so many chemicals, and small amounts of poison in it. I wish the USA was more like Iceland.... :(

[Jb72987]

...(speechless) 

[bananenfoon]

i'm fascinated by this guy..

[CalvinMagnus]

3 were so mesmerized by the song, they missed the like button...

[kasamuku]

wundervoll <3 einfach wundervoll

[Kommugnome]

why can't I be a genius too?

it's just not fair.

[1002Bueno]

me + silence except this = taste of heaven

[X3moCrushX]

He's amazing, so soothing. I love it.

[BOBRMusic]

I think you mean "instant" not "instance" idiot.

[fountainofdouche]

@BOBRMusic kerzhavok89's native language isn't english, arsehole.

[EutuveX]

@BOBRMusic

you are right, bitch !!..no good manners lessons received in that Swiss' École ?

[TheVivimay]

@BOBRMusic lol fool

[AerialDreamz]

now thats a piece that tugs at your heart

[azaelianiny]

c'est beau

[b0Zzoz]

[tappinleggerz43]

I was recently at a dance convention this weekend and we did an amazing contemporary combination to this song for the last class. This song made me feel so many emotions while dancing, it was truly incredible.

[roo3a5]

this inspired me to write a poem

[MartinCalcor]

@roo3a5 This song inspired me, too and i wrote a poem. But in german. ;)

[Qeensy]

i love the sound of the rain in the end.

[TeaBag43]

Wonderful music to listen to and to think by....How great this music is.

[blalst]

nice sound track , it'd be better with lyrics tho

[999TorturesAposida]

I love this song so much...This makes me so sad, so nosaligc feelings tha came up, but at the same time it's just so incredibly beautiful and gives me such a warm feeling..I love it so much...

well..hope you dont see this as a spam, but I thought this might interest some of you..

I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia"

If you've got enough time, you should listen to their song "Lost in timeless horizons" and "Time changed everything"

breathtaking songs by this extremely young guy...

[SceneXxKidx]

Soothing tp the heart♥

[newlyborn09]

it made me cry.

[LordNifty]

Ever play this and Hægt, kemur ljósið at the exact same time? They work together a lot better than I thought they would.

[ryath25]

yes! please post more! this music is incredible and beyond words!

[nadieeeeeee]

la amo

[rootbeerfloats12345]

Prodigy!

[MusicianMonster]

I wrote lyrics on this song and sung them in, maybe you should check it out on my channel ;)

[speedofastlime]

[christmascarrel11]

This is amazing. I listen to it on repeat all the time.

[kamaynuna]

[jonowev]

Got into this guy because of his work with Heaven Shall Burn. He is incredible.

[thewritething]

[hajiketobu]

what does raein mean?

[Diamondinn]

@hajiketobu Doesn't sound like any Icelandic word, google it :D

[ridiai99]

@hajiketobu

It means rain :)

[bakacharlotte]

@hajiketobu

Rain

[nivramkl]

@hajiketobu raein: Raein is an Italian screamo band that featured members from screamo act La Quiete and the post rock band Neil on Impression. The band broke up in late 2005, but after a hiatus of almost 2 years (in which they played 2 shows) they got back to play together in September 2007. ...

Thank you internet dictionary.

[phobos90tao]

@nivramkl really??? i'm italian and i didn't know it O_O so, thank u!

[nivramkl]

@phobos90tao Haha, well, Most of the good bands are ones you prolly never heard of. ^^

[VvEinarvV]

@hajiketobu I'm from Iceland. And don't know D:!

[hajiketobu]

@VvEinarvV the word reminds me of the japanese word 'eien' for eternity. 

[mckseal]

@hajiketobu

it's a name.

[superduploman]

@hajiketobu Not an icelandic word.. I always think it's rain something..?

[HailieBui]

@hajiketobu :DArk

[thiagoblanco]

@hajiketobu Rain / Lluvia / Regnet.

[barrilex]

Donde el Silencio Toca su triste melodia ....estan las almas encantadas por la belleza invisible ....de la melancolia.........criss

[Tyzz]

I sincerely love the emotion in this.

[mitsaso]

When I first heard this piece, it inspired me to write a film script and feature it in the opening.

[hiercolloquialism]

thats the spirit, mate

[icarothelight]

Great emotion.

[barrilex]

Las aves vuelan en el silencio de mi alma .... la luna ilumina mi caminar ...el silencio me canta en la soledad ...la melodia de la melancolia envuelve mi tristeza....y solo camino mi largo andar....criss

[plastinates]

a little like aqualung in that sense

[h0d3d0]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[h0d3d0]

I heard Ljosio on youtube and bought the CD for that very reason. And when I heard this song I, for the first time in my life, said, "Oh my God". It is the most profound musical idea I have ever heard. It is a pure expression of what it feels like to be where the composer was. This piece is so pure I think I know the composer. And there is just no way. It makes me both breath deeply and believe. Thank you for the experience it is to listen to this piece. You have enriched my whole life.

[dunch34]

He's got a creepy stare.

I'm kidding. Beautiful song, though.

[stelli1122]

[littlerobot0911]

Маш гоё ая шүү! Сонсох үед багийн юу ч бодолгүй тоглоомоо барин зогтусан зогсох бяцхан жаал байсан үерүүгээ буцаад оччих шиг л болдог.

[LIBREtoujours]

Tellement magnifique! L'Islande me manque...

[MakeToastNotWar]

This is so wonderful! I want to share it with everyone I know :)

[joshwuh88]
