    GOOD SONG¡¡¡

  • wonderful...transcends beauty.. :)

  • thats how you do it son....

  • One of a kind song....Fukin Brilliant

    I was wondering maybe if they could get one more person on stage

  • éternel 

  • this song makes me cry, i dont know why!, but i love it :D

  • @LaLinternaBanda It makes you cry because crying isn't directly related to sadness. This song, although Hopelandic, sings about beauty and love, happiness and of capturing the soul. I don't know, I think that would make me cry too. : )

  • So simple yet impossible to copy

  • exactly. brilliant. goes to show why having a sound that is all your own beats being being in the box any day. even if its a very neat, shiny, polished box.

  • Perfeito a interpretação do vocalista Jónsi, são belos os momentos que ouço a música de vcs.

  • how many guys they are on stage?

  • life and its wounds are worth

  • it makes me feel so calm and somewhat sad at times but in a good way.

    I could listen to over and over again...

  • perfect

  • Remeber end of the move "Vanilla Sky". Amazing.

  • Minimal music doesn't get any better than this: ethereal, unpretentious, transcendental - this is very spiritually refreshing for this new millenial age..

    KUDOS and thanks for this one!! - JMAN

  • now I'm able to fly away into the infinite sky and never come back to this stupid world

  • I love Jonsi's whole humble approach to music and performing. Rarely get to see that with any other big performers anywhere, like, ever. It's as if he's kindly asking the audience to let him sing to them, rather than "Listen to me".

  • хорошо поет,в живую...

    отличная тема...

  • Jonsi's guitar playing is perfection- the melody is sublime

  • Me encanta ,me encantaaaaaaaaaa!!!! amo a Sigur Ros y al k me lo hizo escucharrrrrrrrrrr por primera vezzzzzzz!!! :)

  • you guys should listen to "samskeyti". i first heard it at the end of "mysterious skin"...that movie will make you really think. check it out.

  • Absolutely incredible.

  • sigur rós = music of heaven

  • I too found Sigur Ros through Vanilla Sky and have come to love their music. I personally feel this is a wonderful performance, sung with great feeling and almost tangible reverence. Over the years I have been moved by great music, especially Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan in their time, also truly special, but in my humble opinion Sigur Ros have surpassed all before. I'm not a religious man, but this will be the music I wish to be played at my funeral. Perhaps, maybe, it will take me to heaven.

  • I too am gonna be leaving this world with Sigur Ros mate!

  • best wishes forest :)

  • fuckin brillant man....esp the last line.....mazel tov Bareym

  • @trezpazz :)

  • Justin Bieber will never make me cry as much as Sigur Ros does, they move me like nothing else ever will.

  • @Noise789 What's a Bieber

  • @Noise789 What's a Bieber?

  • 4:50, oh my God!

  • oO Trop beau...<3

  • Ég var þarna =]. Mögnuð reynsla.

  • fuckin great sigur rós song :]

  • I'm a rapper who writes lyrics and now learning how to make my own beats, and I can also enjoy this type of music like Sigur Ros (huh! :O how dare I even take their name in my dirty mouth?!?!) So if you just put hiphop music, and then I mean all kinds of hiphop music which I promise you is out there, to the same edge and decide to hate it only because it's called hiphop, well then you're going to miss a lot of good things in life my friend!

  • This is a group that is wayyyy ahead of their time and I hope more music in the future sounds like this rather than the hip-hop crap that has come to dominate popular music today.

  • When I first heard this song at the end of Vanilla Sky, I was stunned. The visuals, the sounds, the decision that had to be made on the top of a roof, was overwhelming. Now, every time I hear this, I can't help but feel... I don't know... I just feel - something move within me. It's great to hear that the lyrics have no meaning (the best kind of song) so that the music can mean anything to anyone.

  • que buena cancion que es esta, y pega justo con la pelicula vanilla sky, una onda medio surrealista

  • There's a Vanilla Sky in the background.

  • boli

  • HERMOSA CANCION , BEATIFUL

  • best ever

  • Why comment negatively on something so outstanding? Irritating or not, great musicians deserve recognition.

  • This is why your mother hates you

  • timing is important factor dude. Music has incredible power show some respect.

  • One of the most beatuiful songs ever made! Brings an individual feeling and experience to everyone.

  • One day I will die and this music will be played while my soul go to paradise

  • mozzafiato come sempre!

  • thanks you very much for this beautiful song.

    Wouaaaaaaaaaa

  • This sound is phenomenal... Those opening notes... Blows my mind each and every time. Sigur Ros has no precedent.. I knew nothing of music and of soul until I heard them. Amen!

  • yes. well put. i only knew about them two years ago and i honestly feel bad for my own former musically miserable life eh eh. pretty much ruined it for me, regarding other people making music out there... and their humble and human nature is a breath of fresh air in this rock-star-ridden industry..

  • I lover all sorts of music, but Sigur Ros blow my mind - this song is unreal, even if your happy or sad it will make u feel something,. I dont think I have ever heard anything like this. Unreal

  • wow! what a sound can you hear me call cecile? can you hear me calling to you?

  • wow! what a magical sound i love the guys voice! angelic! love you all, and cecile, she know who she is! paul xx

  • music cannot get better than this. this is TRUE music in all its glory...

  • yes you are so right! this is music for the soul and our inner spirit! we will be at peace if we let it in to our hearts. from paul.

  • ".... e poi mi ricordo di rilassarmi e smetto di cercare di tenermela stretta. E dopo scorre attraverso me come pioggia e io non posso provare che gratitudine per ogni singolo momento della mia piccola, stupida vita. Non avete idea di cosa sto parlando, ne sono sicuro, ma non preoccupatevi.. Un giorno, l'avrete..."American Beauty"

  • This is music from our deepest soul ...

  • i've just been looking at a few of their videos and some of the comments left. Not one person had a negative thing to say about them. That should say enough. this is music!

  • It's the first time I'm hearing this song, and I got to say it's amazing. It's the most touching sonng I ever heard in my whole life.

    Thanks

  • It's getting cold here when I hear this song. Just amazing.

  • One of my favourite songs ever.

  • these guys bring me back to life

  • Couldn't have said it better ^^

  • I realy do love this song. i love the way that it can be what ever you want it to be - it can mean what ever you want

  • i love this song

  • I wish I could have been there for this. Amazing. See you guys in Red Rocks :)

  • This version is a masterpiece! but i've heard they do a lot of acoustic lately, which doesn't deliver near as good as this. I'm wondering what will their concerts will be like this year???

  • I saw them a few weeks and they're touring with a full band

  • I just got back from Red Rocks and it was just the four of them. They were beyond amazing, just magical :)

  • A song 4 a funeral. Its exquisite.

  • Wow there's no description of what i feel when i listen to this song, It's just too much. I love it<3

  • IT´S TRANSCENDENTAL

  • I pretty much only ever listen to Hip Hop but ive loved this song ever since i heard it on Vanilla Sky.

  • I FEEL YOU!

  • i was there. and also on concerts they played in Djupavik in an old fish factory where my grandfather used to work in. IT WAS SO Cool

  • vanilla sky

  • yeah, your life..;(

  • Does anyone else think he starts to sound like Kermit the frog? (Mainly around 6:20 and parts before it)

  • Apparently they are working on making a cover of `Its not easy being green`

  • takes my breath away every time i hear this....if only i knew what or who he was singin to...sometimes when he sings this song it sounds like " you don't know" not in this version but in others, i was lucky to see them 2 years ago at oxygen i waited for 4 hours and got to the front they blew me away, and im goin to see them at the electric picnic

  • They're not even words, he makes them up on the spot every time he sings it, he said in an interview that he didn't want to use words as they can be misunderstood and just wanted the melody to speak for itself.

  • I can't wait to see them at latitude this summer!

    :)

  • i want to be in sigur ros

  • how a band... can make you feel so much... just with chords...

  • amazingggggggggg! just perfect if you need to relax...or you had a bad day!

    and Live has got to be just incredible!

  • breathtaking as always

  • do they tour with the same people (meaning the orchestra and stuff)?

  • Magic !!

  • the population of Reykjavik area is 200.000 of 315.000 pepole in iceland !!!!!!!!

  • Just can't get enough of them.. Most beautiful music in the world..

  • and wonderful people too!

    i wish i could listen to this anywhere at anytime cuz thats wat makes life worthy of living

    *dancing* o(^-^o)(o^-^)o o(^-^o)(o^-^)o

  • google not youtube ...

  • Sigur ros 100% ... waw ...forever Slowakia

  • The beauty of this song cannot be overstated.

  • every song they write brings back different memories. its awesome

  • Using your own language is something the Cocteau Twins also adopted.Best example is on there track Iceblink Luck.This song was used to great effect in the film Vanilla Sky - Great film and track !

  • Well Im not saying for 100% sure, but Ive whatched alot of interviews with this band, and what hes saying is, not really bullshit. What they do is write the music first, and then try to make a lyric to the song, and usually artists humm or make sounds to how the lyric will sound, thats what hes singing, and thats what is called Hopelandic.

    Also they like to keep peoples mind open to their music, so you can hear whatever you feel from their music, even if you dont understand it.

  • That's true. Jonnsi is just using his creativity to combine words/sounds with the overall music. Quite basic for writers that are looking for the right lyric.

  • what is he sayin?

  • made up language

  • According to the band, it's not a made up language, its just jibberish. The whole "Hopelandic" thing was something writers/journalists come up with..

  • yes  :)

  • according to jonsi "it's not any special lyrics or anything, it's just...bullshit"

  • Drbeat:

    Jonsi was referring to this whole ''hopelandish'' crap. It's gibberish, not a ''made-up'' language like the medias pretend.

  • this song puts my head right where it needs to be from time to time

  • holy crap the part from 3:25 onwards sent shivers down my spine! Wow!

  • I listen you hardcore music but this was really something!

  • where exactly is this, im trying to download it but its hard...

  • The song is called Svefn-g-englar from the soundtrack Vanilla Sky, but the trouble is this song is not on the album. You need to type 'The Nothing Song' when you go to download this because so many other people didn't know what the song was called, so They called it 'The Nothing Song'.

  • this is not svefn g englar, its Untitled 4 or njosnavelin from the () album

  • when this song played in the end of the movie vanilla sky it made me cry...such an amazing song. its so lovely and peacefull.

    love sigur rós in spite of not knowing icelandic. these guys are great!

    SIGUR RÓS FOREVER <3

  • Hæ, I'd just like to say hey, and Sigur Rós is such an awesome band, I love their music, it is so beutiful. I love this song! Its so beutiful. Áfram Ísland!

  • This song is so beautiful. It just takes you away from reality. It's like a good dream, with accompanying music.

  • This is one of the most wonderful songs I´ve ever heard... Thanks, Sigur Rós, for making such amazing, impressing music..

  • muy buena, cada vez que la escucho me hace recodar cosas de mi pasado...

  • a mi parecer la mejor cancion de ellos

  • This song makes me feel...........

  • sigur ros are like my own soundtrack for every beautiful dream..

  • Just the best stuff i have heard in years. Puts modern "pop" into some sort of perspective. Great great different and great.

  • this song takes you away form the shit reality you're living in

  • beautiful. if i wernt for such beauiful films like vanilla sky then i would never have hear this great chilling song! luv it soooo much x

  • Eu gosto muito de Sigur Rós... E essa música é muito tocante, bonita... Sempre que escuto me lembro do filme Vanilla Sky.

  • isnt it like 10 pm in this video

  • it's on iceland x)

  • wow, this song is soooo beautiful.. i could hear it day and night *dreaming*

  • i dont think i could physically take music any emotionally deeper than sigur ros

  • that's for sure!

  • Es una cancion preciosa. La verdad es que este grupo tiene buenos temas, pero esta en concreto me estremece completamente... El mundo sin musica, seria un error!

  • love this song.. ima big yoga head and this is a goood get away song

  • It's definitely a good "get away" song. I always play it when I want to meditate or concentrate on something, it gets me to settle and stay grounded.

  • no creo qe se pueda definir en una palabra, pero...

    hermozo!

  • its just amazing. everything they have done is amazing.

  • elysium. passing through fields of green with the sun on my face. i saw you there, and i felt, what words could not express. where one and one are one. the final liberation. the final redemption.
