  • did I miss the poetry meeting? FUCK!

  • This song makes me wanna cry.

  • One of the most powerful songs of all time.

  • @Destructerator : I couldn't agree more. -mx

  • Today i noticed a comment saying people who make techno are real musicians. I almost died. to compare real musicians like sigur ros to them is a damn shame. live on sigur ros. you guys have changed my whole outlook on life. Thanks!

  • The miracle and curse that Man will adapt to any condition it can survive in... We celebrate what we have, when maybe we should solve our problems... but if we never knew any better life, what would we have to aspire to...? What do we celebrate today?

  • Nice visuals.

  • For a moment there, I forgot to breathe.

  • personally the video is opposite of how i feel when hearing this song, but the message hear is clear. what is to become of things if we keep up the war and possible worldly destruction? the yellowstone volcano is overdue for an erruption and when it happens we will all be dead.....nobody talks about it and thats sad.

  • well, the message this song brings off is that children as always children no matter what happens in the world they still well play.

  • I can't get enough of this song. This and the nothing song are my favorite sigur ros songs.

  • @emosdieslow i agree, untitled 6, ara butar, and samskeyti are also amazing

  • @ikillgophers thanks, I'll check those out.

  • this stirs up feelings I never though I was capable of feeling.

  • @greedyjr EXACTLY !!!!

  • @greedyjr yeah.. I never thought a song could sound like this

  • @lenalena111 The teacher at the beginning's probably checking for signs of radiation sickness like growths or wierd blistering/red patches... Doesn't seem like the outdoors are very healthy there.

  • I know Sigur Ros uses its own language, but 1:25 sounds a lot like someone's saying "nowhere to go," and that always makes me so sad.

  • chernobyl :c

  • This song makes me feel nostalgia. It makes me think of how a few years ago I really didn't have any real expectations. It makes me think of how my best friends and I really have grown apart, and it makes me pine for moments I'll never experience again. Everyday now is just this same apathetic feeling.

  • @SteakDoll i fear this is the road my life is starting to tred towards

  • @SteakDoll wow... amen.

  • @SteakDoll I feel the same way at most times

  • @SteakDoll damn that's depressing. Reading that with this song, it damn near makes me cry.

  • greed is everywhere. don't be like that and then won't be like this.

  • I want to go to war. With Sigur Ros as my weapon, and untitled track #1 as my ammunition. I want to show people what it is to feel, with disregard towards objectives, opinions, purpose or intent. The universal language that is Sigur Ros can recondition lives. Upmost respect and admiration for a group of guys that have found a way to take emotion from within and transmit it exhaustively through sound. Gangi þér vel

  • @Aatankenenamenti I fully support your noble cause, and will help as best I can.

  • My soul feels at peace

  • This album has to be my favourite of theres

  • Just bought 3 of this band's albums :)

  • This is honestly one of the most convincing pieces of art I've ever seen. So beautiful.

  • ppl who do feel the same seek out the same sounds

  • I remember when there was a giant mountain fire in my village and the sky was red like that for 2 weeks and around day 10 of the red sky it started to rain ash, and it kept raining ash for 2 or 3 days and it brought such a feeling of hopelessness

  • omg i dont understand!!!! why does everybody undersand this video except for me. #confused

  • @mscandishopper

    Even in the most desperate of times one can still find hope and joy. At least that's my take on it.

  • This is the type of video that I wish I made

  • 3:00 am were i live.......6 days without sleep......starting to get depressed .....why.......why?

  • @pphony1234

    You are not alone on the depression thing my friend....... im there with you...

  • when i walk outside my house.......thats what i really see......this world is over for me

  • i saw this video when i was younger on tv randomly, and it gave me such a weird vibe, i can still feel it now, aweosme :)

  • This is my heavy comment.

  • When he starts in at 4:51 it gets me every time

  • gorgeous and heartbreaking video. can someone explain the very beginning of the video (all of the children being inspected). i know it doesn't really matter, im just kinda curious.

  • @lenalena111 It feels like the Holocaust

  • @lordvoldemort578 No it doesn't...

  • Comment removed

  • This has always been a favorite of mine. It's beautiful.

  • is it just me? every. single. time. i watch this video, i bawl my eyes out. i watch it frequently, also. it's amazing the emotions it evokes. the innocence of these children, the world outside... let us try to do all we can to be sure our world never comes to this... or is it already?

  • one of the most meaningful videos I've ever seen

    and I don't even know the meaning

  • @unforgettable903 I've spent about five minutes trying to offer an analysis of the theme of this video, but then I realized that some things in this world are better felt than explained.

  • Saw these guys at Beacon Theater in NYC many years ago, when they played this song it was deafening. Best concert I've ever been to.

  • 3:05 they're kissing <3

  • i saw this video when i was about 10 and i tried to explain it to my mom. i never got the name of the artist. who knew 10 years later, i would find my favorite video in the whole entire world again? i guess it was fait

  • @gunnarlarson23 dont you just love when you find long lost music? magical :D

  • @gunnarlarson23 That's pretty awesome man.

  • Can someone explain this video to me and what it's about?

  • @imalwaysfreakinbored when the director won an award for the video, she said she wanted to dedicate the award to all of the children living in war. so basically, i think this video is about the burned, dangerous, and ruined world that people are creating for their children. the innocent children don't realize it, but it's a very poisonous world we're created for them. you could interpret the message to be against war, against environmental damage, etc.

  • I have a daughter barely a year old who was bouncing up and down in her crib, flapping a blanket and smiling all six of her teeth, as I was listening to this, and I lost all control over myself and I don't know why.

    I logged in to leave this comment, and the video popped up with an ad for Mindless Behavior. Dried that up pretty quickly.

  • @plasticweenis lol :S

  • Chernobyl :C

  • Kids can make the best of anything :P

  • Jonsi is gay so what??!! This band is still one of the best that ever existed...

  • @flyworld3 I heard no wailing.

  • Reminds me of the movie "Unleashed"

  • This is one of my favorite songs. A perfect mix of sadness and triumph.

  • Actually, this entire album "()" is sung in Hopelandic!!!! "all of the vocals ( ) are however in hopelandic." a quote from Sigur Ros' website

  • nuclear winter! dr. strangelove's epilogue...

  • musics the only thing that makes sense anymore

  • @ohMyMelissah amen

  • @ohMyMelissah Unfortunately that's not always the case either. Listening to some of the 'music' coming out these days is almost sickening to the stomach. Gladly we still have great bands like Sigur Ros around to make sense of all this madness.

  • @ohMyMelissah True music.

  • actually this song IS sung in english, the ONLY one of there songs that is. soo yeah.

  • @chellybean06 no, it isnt. there are english lyrics online, but they're incorrect.

  • @chellybean06 Uh...none of the songs in the ( ) album have lyrics in them. What sounds like the vocals in the song is the nonexistent language the band members made up. Research it on their website. Their music focuses little to none of words and lyrics, but rather how the music itself affects the listener. That's why they made up their own fake language. Sometimes words don't express the emotions one tries to achieve.

  • Beautifully horrible. So incredibly depressing yet uplifting at the same time. I fear I am in a state of emotional termoil right now. T.T The power of music amazes.

  • That one kid dying really hit home....

  • i just love this band!!!! :')

  • I think this video says a lot about innocence. I mean, these children are in the middle of what appears to be a nuclear holocaust, yet they are completely oblivious to it and making the best of the situation. Wow.

  • This is quite simply the greatest and most powerful music video ever made.

  • The song and video are hauntingly beautiful. Simply amazing

  • I find it hilarious that people are debating English grammar in a video from an Icelandic band singing a nonexistant language. ;)

  • I love this wonderful song. It is so amazing and different, it actually means something. It awesome to listen to when you are feeling low.

  • The world needs music like Sigur Ros. There is a lot of crappy music out there with no meaning or meaning that just sucks

  • I found it ironic that one of the links that appears next to this video is The Cults' "Go Outside".

  • I cry every time I watch this video.

  • Floria Sigismondi is such a genius!! Can't believe her first film was about the

    Runaways.

  • I lost all of my innocence on 9/11. My five year old self saw too much and shook me awake and I grew up way to early

  • @Dudedog48 I got a good laugh from that. "Finally, those snobs got a wake up call."

  • This kinda makes me think of children's innocence and hope, even in the darkest of times .... Not to mention their ignorance of the evil of reality, what with wars and such.

  • no matter how adults fuck up the planet, a kids innocence will always remain intact

  • @deter6895 That's exactly how I see it. No matter what happens or what shit and filth and pain society brings to the world, nothing will destroy the innocence of a child: The purest, most beautiful thing in the world. I wish all parents would realize what they have when they look into their child's eyes.

  • @kpad42o Children are just screaming shit machines. "Childhood innocence" is in fact stupidity. Stop being idealistic.

  • @SystelCyrus Innocence = Freedom from guilt or sin through being unacquainted with evil. In simple terms this means that most children are worry/responsibility free and happy because they are unaware of most of the horribly evil bullshit that society spews out. Just because children are stupid and you're a cynical prick doesn't mean childhood innocence doesn't exist and some of us think that it's a beautiful thing. Go read The Catcher in the Rye, you might learn something.

  • @kpad42o "Childhood innocence" is a phrase, dipshit. Stop acting like an intellectual cause you read a shitty novel.

  • @SystelCyrus You're right, two words put together creates a phrase...and??? You're not making any sense you fucking moron. How about YOU stop acting like an arrogant douche bag and trying to tell me what to think when I didn't even direct my comment at you? Because...I honestly don't give a fuck how your pathetic mind interprets anything. Prick.

  • @kpad42o ...Wait holy shit, you seriously don't know that a phrase can mean more than the sum of it's parts?

    How did you even learn to use a keyboard? Or did you have your daddy type this for you?

  • @SystelCyrus Haha...You put an apostrophe in the word "its" which is wrong. Any idiot knows how to properly use possessive pronouns but you're obviously much more of a fucking idiot than most. You're trying to twist words around and catch me in a mistake that I never made. The sum of its parts? Where the hell are you getting this from? You're babbling about nothing and throwing pathetic insults at me that don't even pertain to the situation. Keep it up, it's pretty amusing...

  • @kpad42o Sir, I honestly suggest you stop letting your kid on youtube if he's going to make stupid comments.

    Also, you're saying it's wrong to put an apostrophe in "its", but "???" is fine? You forgot a comma between "sense" and "you", putting an ellipsis between "Because" and "I", and lastly, "Prick" by itself doesn't constitute a full proper sentence. Perhaps you should join your son in class some time.

  • @SystelCyrus Okay, you can start a sentence with the word "or" and it's never capitalized. You started a sentence with "..." which is horribly wrong. "Dip Shit" is two words, dip shit. Also, "cause" is not a word. I can also point out every little grammatical error you made in the past 4 comments. You're a douche bag troll and you're not worth my time. You replied to my comment attacking me for no reason and started arguing with me about nothing because you're too arrogant to admit you're wrong.

  • @kpad42o dictionary [.] reference [.] com [/] browse [/] dipshit One word. Starting a sentence with an ellipsis is common practice. I'm sure you don't even know what an ellipsis is. Cause is a common and widely accepted abbreviation of because, and on it's own actually IS a word. And my or is indeed capitalized. And if I may add, while my original response disagreed with your view, I in no way attacked you directly. You attacked me first. Besides, you can't prove my statement wrong.

  • @SystelCyrus By the way, you're a hypocrite insulting me about grammar when you make grammatical errors yourself. Look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary and maybe you'll understand what that means. Your pathetic brain probably can't comprehend it either way though. Also, you're calling me a "kid" but also calling me "sir"? You're a retard. Do you think I'm a man whose body is fused with his kids?

  • @kpad42o Actually, you started the grammar insults back and forth. I was simply pointing out that you, sir, are the hypocrite. I'm calling you sir because I'm sure whoever's actually responding is immeasurably inane and incapable of using a keyboard, most likely one of the aforementioned screaming shit machines. Thus, I am assuming you need a slightly less stupid adult to type it for you. I'm addressing both you and your drunken waste of life father simultaneously.

  • @SystelCyrus @kpad42o You two are cute. This is cute.

  • @alystrup People are so sensitive these days! Kind of like your gums when you don't brush for a week straight oh god that hurts SO MUCH.

  • @SystelCyrus "you need a slightly less stupid adult to type it for you. I'm addressing both you and your drunken waste of life father simultaneously." I don't know what you two are arguing over, but this made me laugh really hard.

  • @99SodaCans Very few people see past the blatantly rude exterior and into the polished sarcasm I aim for in my comments. :C

  • @SystelCyrus Can't you just respect the fact that we have different opinions about it without insulting me though? Given the past comments I know you're not stupid and neither am I. We just view things differently and I don't hate you for that and you shouldn't hate me either. We don't know each other so lets just both be better people and end this nonsense.

  • @kpad42o Aight.

  • I don't know why have I got goosebumps

  • this song reminds me of when i went camping with a few friends, we got talking, we became closer than we had ever done before :)

  • @0ct0parr0t Brokeback Mountain?

  • @vaderdani

    haha not quite like that!!

  • Manly tears are shed every time I watch this video.

  • @FeedMeMister they are not manly tears. sigur ros is all homosexual all the time.

  • This beats Hallelujah... there are no lyrics, you give it your own meaning. We all think of something different when we hear the opening chords... but it's just as powerful as it is for the next person.

  • you sigh low tonight you're so alone you're so you sigh alot and fight you're so lost you're so you fight so low you're so alone you sigh low your sighs are low you're so
  • Rest in peace, Geneveve. Every time I hear this I think of you and cry. You were so young and beautiful. I hope you're happy now. I love you. I wish you would have stayed a little longer.

  • wow great job vevo and google, now we cant read the comments.

  • In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful peices of music ever written. I have been listening to this for the past 8 years, a Sigur Ros fan since I saw them in a small 50 seat venue about 12 years ago. It carries so many powerful memories of where I have been, what I have been experiencing pysically & emotionally that it never fails to evoke a feeling. Now I am close to tears in a small open plan office, with people all around me. Thanks be to god for Sigur Ros, my favourite band.

  • Going through a hardship right now. Feeling really low, no one to turn to except music

  • @Qstyles18

    I'm sorry :/

    Things will get better though, I promise.

  • @Qstyles18 Sorry to hear that, days do get better. This music will help you through.

  • @Qstyles18 Keep the music close, but don't let too much of the darker stuff set in. Keep some playing that makes you happy. That's how to get through it...

  • @Qstyles18 Stay strong.

  • @Qstyles18 or god

  • I saw this the first time a year ago...

    Watched it again. Damned video made me cry.

  • Comment removed

  • this song is pretty it reminds me of the world... i feel llike i should dance to this ! i love it

  • Siguros in greeks means convinced about something/sure...

  • Yo mori un poco esta noche

  • I understand why youtube videos now have adverts at the beginning of them, to make it free for us, but once you've settled down to listen to a beautiful piece of music and you're stillness is disrupted, it isn't half aggravating.

    Regardless, however, absolutely amazing.

  • This is way scarier if you've watched Doctor Who. "Are you my mommy?"

  • Simply Beautiful...

    The Video, The Music, The depiction of the world its all beautifully done.

    What makes this so moving is that while watching it i wonder to myself if this depiction of the world is in the future of my life. With everything thats going on it makes you wonder. This song, video is haunting, terrifying, beautiful, mesmerizing, stunning, poetic, and above all else it moves you.

  • This song is my own personal lullaby, drifing me to sleep on the nights where my thoughts keep me awake. The gentle tone of this song is like no other, unique in every way and more meaningful than any note ever played.

  • Its chrismas and Ash is falling Instead of Snow.... Damn!

  • Hauntingly beautiful.

  • Simply beautiful.

  • thumbs if the art of flight brought you here

  • This song is amazing. I love the concept of the video as well. So thought-provoking and creative. It puts other music videos into perspective! <3

  • This song is called Vaka.

  • sigur ros es de lo mejor que me ha pasado, tantos momentos adornados por sus canciones, un grupo que en verdad me lleva a un momento de paz.

  • that high pitched vocal bend at 5:12 and 5:23 always kills me. I dunno, there's something so beautiful about that sound

  • This is such a beautiful song, but does anyone know what the meaning is? I'm just wondering.

  • @joerocks624 It is a made up language called Hopelandic that has the same sounds as Icelandic but has no meaning. They want the listener to create their own meaning from their songs.

  • makes grown men cry because of just how beautiful it is. this music changed my life after a very hard move to the west coast from the east. left behind alot of good people and didnt know anyone to start high school but i would listen this song or any sigur ros song and realize that everything will work out. <3 and yes im a man and i am crying but im proud and happy. :)

  • RADIOHEAD?

  • Sigur Ros makes me cry and think, and at the same time feel good about myself. I have everything, I have food, shelter clothes, and to me that makes me feel rich but imagine how rich people can feel with all that money and power! Sigur Ros, Please make this world change<3

  • koopz <3

  • I'm assuming you probably can't get this on Itunes because they seem to have a thing where they just don't put foreign bands on their site, which is irritating, Anyway...Can you get it as an MP3 download?

  • @TheElsewhere19

    what are you talking about?

    i bought this album off of itunes store.

  • @TheElsewhere19 I got mine of itunes :) Its the 1st untitled I think x

  • @Goldhummingbird Lol. Just as I posted that comment I thought to myself, 'You dumbass, you should of checked first' I got it now though hahaha.

  • @TheElsewhere19 yes you can get it on itunes, its the first track on the ( ) album. (the album has brackets on its cover) you should get the cd as it is awesome. i also have the 3'' cd EP. Untitled is also name 'Vaka', which is the name of Orri's daughter (Orri is the drummer, i find it lol that there is no drums in the song) Get the record youll love it

  • @yenbadcito I already did, thanks:) I realized literally the second after I posted that comment that I should have checked first lol

  • another great tune!

  • Ma vie en ce moment u.u

  • ooooohh Sigur Rós beautiful +1 :)

    ...and with the extraordinary Floria Sigismondi +2 :))

  • I just tuned out Dynamite being blasted from the other room to fully hear this.

    I regret nothing.

  • you know, i kinda got my own interpretation, to me it seems like a false sense of security, the school, the teachers, and especially the gas mask, we feel like we are perfectly safe from what lies outside, even to the point of willingly putting ourselves right in the middle of the problem (in this case, the dust) and as soon as one thing goes wrong or out of plan, we drop dead, unable to take back our mistake, whether we made the mistake ourselves or not, just my thought, take it or leave it.

  • such a startling thing to watch, just shows our intelligence can destroy us in the end, when you know too much it can hurt you i guess

  • I heard this in a film a little while ago (which one? Help please!) I LOVE it!

  • @cjsnw1 I only know it from "Kongen av Bastøy/King Of The Devils Island(?)" :)

  • beatiful <3

  • un poco tonto el video...

  • That's the future you want for our children ...?

    Move and fight the capitalism... All the fucking monney and stupid human who killing other human... And the Earth.

    Ma chanson préférée de Sigur Ros...
