  • Actually... What I've read about Iceland is that it was discovered by a Swede living in Denmark. The first permanent settlers were Norwegian nobles, though (Norway being under Danish rule). Later on they were followed by more Scandinavians and their Irish slaves. So it isn't exclusively Norwegian.

  • Most of the time when people say I learned "by ear" is just another way if saying someone taught me or I read the sheet music im just too lazy to put up a tutorial and saying I played it by ear makes me sound smarter..

  • I just want to tell you how extremely jealous I am of the mural on your wall...

  • well done, stunning.

  • Comment removed

  • Nope... I'm Danish

  • @soerenklaver this isclose! because didnt the icelandics come from denmark, sweden and norway? technically the icelandics are part of you!

  • @LightsOutChannel you're right. Iceland was founded by a Norwegian long time ago. And the three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) were very connected at that time

  • @soerenklaver

    oi oi and finland you cunt : D

    and good playaing mate, its good.

  • @soerenklaver Sweden and Denmark were blowing the pants of each other...

  • @gladandhappy

    That is really weird, how can you tell of somebody's nose where he's from?

    Btw, awesome work!

  • @gladandhappy If you had spoken to enough Icelanders you'd realise they hate Sigur Ros, Bjork, mum, probably Amiina too. They just hate their own music.

  • @gladandhappy lol

  • yeaah

  • so beautiful :)

  • no feeling whatsoever. wear a kimono next time

  • i would love to see more from you, you're lovely. thank you. it was really beautiful.

  • The original is in a folder n my iTunes called 'Large'.

    In this folder are songs that swell to epic proportions. Unfortunately I have a live version of Sigur Ros playing this and it's not good enough to be in my Large folder - only the studio version is.

    However, this version is beautiful and as the song brings a tear to my eye anyway your piano playing brings more emotion to the experience. I'd love to hear the Sigur Ros vocals over you playing.

    Simply astounding.

    Thankyou!

  • You are really talented.

    Thank You for upload.

    Beautiful!

  • Awesome!! *-*

  • exelent !!!

    beautiful!!!!

  • Hey this is really great! I found original song... I prefer live performance at Jools Holland!

  • molly trolley your a f**king geek

  • you're a fucking fucktard!!

  • Holy... you are great. Sounds SO damn close to the original. Thumbs up!

  • simply amazing !

  • I actually think this is beautiful... I worked out the base line of this. But i cannot work out the rest :S

    Thank you, i love it.

  • You are insanely talented, please upload more videos

  • holy fuck ur good

  • The trick with playing with two hands (i'm not too coordinated either), is to memorise one hand enough so you don't have to look at it when playing, and you just play it without thinking. Then you can learn the other hand, and, hey presto, both hands are working together without you even having to think about it. :D

  • niceeeee

  • thank you

  • i love this song, and i love your cover *__* so cute!! you are fantastic *___*
