Sigur Ros-Njosnavelin (The Nothing Song)

[dalgroves10]

When I listen to Sigur Ros, I forget everything else

[ReaktorLeak]

The only rule of good music: "If it sounds good, it is good." (yes, it's tautological!)

[doeshows]

Definition of good music - on-pitch sound developing an emotional response from the listener through speed, resonance, lyrical meaning, tactful emergence of one instrument over another, and the passion of the musician in connecting with the desired meaning of a song. Just because you "like" a song does not make it good. You can "like" your 6 yr olds violin playing but that doesn't make it good, quality music. Great music makes you forget about the world around. ie Sigur Ros and Mumford and Sons.

[amyleoness]

This music is what my soul feels like everyday...

[hatehead1]

September 2012, Italy. Cannot wait.

[hushpuppy1794]

gopher muncher, please just shut up. Music is to listener, what they want it to be.

[dimitriParet]

[ArtiDiana19]

i lost myself in heaven...

[BBalty25]

It reminds me of trying to bounce back to happiness after an extremely bad breakup. Even though it hurts like hell, you gotta try. Makes me want to go back in time and fix everything.

[jhalfred]

I can't tell you how this song makes me feel.

[LeVoirChocolat]

@jhalfred <:')

[nalaskingdom]

sigur seems to be an incredible person...lol i like the california girls plastiswafers...ok just kidding i actually dont

[iLeelstep]

Fits perfectly with the movie. One of the greatest endings I've seen, despite what critics have said about it. Lovely movie, lovely tune.

[kenthehobo]

Abre Los Ojos doesn't have Sigur Ros or Radiohead. I'll stick with Vanilla Skies.

[GonzoDr78]

When life is looked upon as snapshots of a whole it needs fragmented words from another world to be understood. In a sense I constantly search for these words to make sense and even try make up my own interpretation. Each time I get lost in the thought of what I am hearing and I give up. I accept this as a feeling rather than a rationale. And that sums up my life as I know it too. Why am I here? What am I? Who am I? Where are we going? When will I know why what who or where? Isirah lone you were

[NSRenegades]

@GonzoDr78

I so fucking understand you

[eyedea81]

the original is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

[DJHeroMist]

We were going to have bad movie night!

Cool ill rent Vanilla sky...

[plastiswafers]

@TheSnoop105 you're absolutely right. kudos, my friend :)

[iggy2k10]

this song just relaxes mi gets mi thinking and i just realise how precious is life

[KoiChannel]

Great!

Look up "while the city sleeps-back when we knew", same kind of colourful soundscapes and big emotional crescendos! :)

[norton36456]

[texasboi2real]

Something bout this song just takes you to another place...amazing song and movie one of the best :)

[Devour209]

Where can I buy this song it's not on iTunes

[stefanoasti]

@Devour209

In iTunes just search for the sigur ròs' album (). The Nothing Song is the Sigur 4 (untitled) of that album.

[EoinByrneMusic]

This song puts me in a peaceful, meditative trance. All my troubles vanish when I listen to it. Amazing band and one of my favourite songs ever

[EoinByrneMusic]

I'll tell you in another Life. When we are both Cats <3

[Devour209]

One my favorite movies .. Great soundtrack

[chubbytrees]

Look at us. Im frozen and your dead. And i love you.

[bambinoinnero]

this is the cure.

[AmyELB]

If heaven had a soundtrack, this would be it.

[aleonjr]

I really love these's song's!!! It reminds me of when I was touring through other states!!!!

[vincikd007bg008]

1.00 min in BOB DYLAN 'FREEWHELLIN' COVER



[TheTwelfthOfMay]

Shoot me now. Unfuckingbelieveable

[evilivan]

hey...does anyone know where can I download this version? help me please!

[SimulatedMermaid]

@evilivan

You know it baffles me that people still ask this... just look up "video to mp3" in google and about 5 good websites come up for conversions. You just copy the url from the youtube page and paste it to the converter and then download. Here is an example: vidtomp3 .com

[MaxRoudriges]

I like the smell of rain ...

[TheKipKadillac]

@MaxRoudriges haha It's actually raining here in Vienna right now and I just saw this comment

[CosmoTF]

I've only just found out why I'm here.. I was so lost and confused but now, now I can be with you.. The thought of not seeing your smile again breaks me right in two and makes me feel so weak inside. You're every last bit of my happiness and hope, I love you so much, and this song says it better than I ever could..

[JeromJamal]

Music like this, opening my mind... Simply AMAZING !

[xXP1RaT3]

My dreams are a cruel joke. They taunt me. Even in my dreams I'm an idiot... who knows he's about to wake up to reality. If I could only avoid sleep. But I can't. I try to tell myself what to dream. I try to dream that I am flying. Something free. It never works...

[irina2414]

PLEASE READ THIS-(10-14-2005) everything has its consequense... you told me this today over the phone, i had this song playing on the background and it just killed me that you said that. i know is my fault but i just pray and hope the consequence does not mean the end.. I LOVE YOU puppy (TRUE LOVE 10.14.05)

[stardevelin]

Don’t wait until you get all your problems solved, don’t wait until you get all your questions answered to move forward, eventually, time will give you all the answers you need to understand live a little better, until then live life with those you love most, cause that’s what really matter, isn’t it?

[MilkThatEmo]

5*

[mabiniss2]

@NoSignal044 Thanks.

[112nizo]

probably the most beautiful song i've ever heard ;D

[mabiniss2]

There's still no recorded version? AGHH!!!

[NoSignal044]

@mabiniss2 It was recorded under the name Untitled 4 or Track 4 on the album (). It's available on iTunes.

[plastiswafers]

California Gurls - 16,952,736 plays

Njosnavelin - 47,792 plays

what has the world come to?

[LordEd1976]

@plastiswafers whatever it is, it involves a huge lack of taste

[lpycb42]

@plastiswafers you have to understand, only a few select people have the intellectual capacity to appreciate bands like Sigur Ros. The simple minds are easily pleased with meaningless empty songs that are merely created to make you want to move. Songs like California Gurls serve a superficial purpose, while Njosnavelin is the type of song that brings out feelings, emotions and thoughts that lie on a deeper level. It's the kind of song that stimulates your brain.

[brianMichaelFerris]

@lpycb42 totally agreed ive been looking for this song for awhile, im so glad i know the artist now.... this is great epic, my favorite

[VampiressMiharu]

@lpycb42 You are so narcissistic.

[lpycb42]

@VampiressMiharu No, I'm realistic.

[VampiressMiharu]

@lpycb42 Hey, I didn't say you were wrong. I just can't stand seeing the same "lol look at me I listen to Sigur Ros I'm so speshuuuul and smaaaart" cry for attention.

[lpycb42]

@VampiressMiharu How is that a cry for attention? I explained why California Gurls has more views than Sigur Ros, with the truth. Sorry if it offends you.

[paskalortti007]

@lpycb42 you are so right!! can`t say nothing more for that

[italik13]

@lpycb42 There is no select few, everybody has the same level of "capacity". There are just those who venture to evoke their emotions through sublime music. And there are those, who don't

[Jedzerr0]

@plastiswafers

To an end.

[lydenw]

@plastiswafers sad. but know that you're one of the proud few that listened to this. and it touched you, no doubt. carry it with you.

[Nadeldrucker]

@plastiswafers It has always been the same, I think. The only difference between then and now is you see more of the idiots and primitive people, because they are also on the internet.

[CascadeTheWarrior]

@plastiswafers Obviously people like California Gurls better. Its really not that hard to comprehend. Also, seems like someone is jealous that their music is not as popular as California Gurls.

[ikillgophers]

@CascadeTheWarrior don't be a moron, when speaking of music there is nothing that compares to Sigur Ros...people today have deluded minds and listen to garbage music, why are you even here anyways?

[CascadeTheWarrior]

@ikillgophers Why don't you stop being a fucking moron, the evidence is there and clearly people like California Gurls better(just look at their view count). Did I say it was better, no because everyone has different tastes in music...so there is no such thing as "garbage music". You are probably one of those arrogant hipsters that think that just because they don't listen to mainstream music you are somehow superior. Newsflash bitch: you're not. Also, I am here because I like this song...duh!

[ikillgophers]

@CascadeTheWarrior "You are probably one of those arrogant hipsters that think that just because they don't listen to mainstream music you are somehow superior". 1 this isnt mainstream music. 2 how am I a hipster? what defines being a hipster? 3 just because something has a lot of views doesnt make it good music. its all about talent. Sigur ros could remake all music that is out today with ease but i doubt many could remake any of Sigur ros. its all about musical talent

[CascadeTheWarrior]

@ikillgophers First of all I never said this was mainstream music, Secondly that's the thing there is no such thing as "good" music as I explained in my previous comment. Music is an acquired taste, meaning everyone likes different things, so don't go around bashing other artists just because you don't like their music or are mad they are selling better than your preferred artist.Thirdly just because you bash another artist it won't make your preferred artist any better.

[ikillgophers]

@CascadeTheWarrior your statements are false, there is eminent proof that most mainstream music is targeted at children or young teenage peoples. these peoples are easily seduced and manipulated. music, food, style, and everything else around them poisons their minds. check the definition of music while you are at it. all mainstream music dies eventually through the decades, rap is now non existent and R&B will soon follow. but instrumental will live on forever.. goodbye.

[CascadeTheWarrior]

@ikillgophers Obviously new music is targeted at a younger audience because they are the new generation. Older generations are so afraid of change, do you actually think they would target that audience? The only thing that poisons the mind is ignorance a.k.a what you are preaching in your comment. Every music dies eventually but there are some that will always be remembered and guess what?...They are mostly mainstream music,so get over your hate towards mainstream music its here to stay. Goodbye

[N3CR1S]

@CascadeTheWarrior Ofcourse there are objective "good", and "crappy", music. There are an infinit number of ways to string notes togheter, most are really bad and some are better than most. There are many possible ways to let the song build up and fade out, and some songs do that in a more thought out way that is more fitting with the individual  parts of the song than other song do.

Ofcourse there are good music, but does not mean that some people wont like crappy music.

[CascadeTheWarrior]

@N3CR1S No!!!!, there is no such thing as "good music" because everyone has different tastes. Why can't you people grasp that? Is it really that hard to understand? I could be banging pots and pans to make a tune and that can be the best music I ever heard! keyword: "I", meaning MY opinion, no one else's. Not everyone as the sames tastes, what you call crap a person can consider gold and vice-versa.

[N3CR1S]

@CascadeTheWarrior You need to sharpen your reading skills. I specifically stated "objectiv", meaning that when dissregarding oppinions there is music that is better than other music. And I stated why this is true. Since your comment didnt even try to counter any of the point I brought up, I see no point in shifting the subject further away. I will respond to any relevant points that you bring up.

[Devon13]

1 person obviously was at complete peace with himself and didn't realize what he was clicking.

[Senso856]

That 1 guy sure is a fag

[XPianoXLoveX]

@Senso856 Lol xD

[ilovetati91]

@Senso856 Well, this "fag" loves this song.

[EmoWolf327]

that Mustang is almost up to par with this song. :D

[DavySigfusson]

The fact that it's called "The Nothing Song" really bothers me... because Njósnavélin translates into "Spy-machine"

[wrathof]

@DavySigfusson Seriously....

[DavySigfusson]

@DavySigfusson

Yeah!

að njósna = "to spy"

and

Vél = "machine"

so when combined it's njósn-a-vél-inn

b.t.w. instead of putting "The" in front of words, icelandic puts it at the back of the words (i.e.: inn, in, num, ið and lots more) this is one of the reasons why icelandic is so very complex because these are very hard to learn...

so... it actually translates into "The Spy-machine"

[ooozeGonnaSubscribe]

they're so simple,easy,just the way they are.They were no super-modern glasses and they wear no awesome clothes but they write this amazing music and every piece of it is absolutely gorgeous.Fabulous,just...so true and honest and terrific.

[otakuofanime]

i love sigur ros and think theyre amazing but dont agree with these comments saying that it is real music. music is art regardless of who it comes from.

[codyhill06]

@otakuofanime They're saying it's real music as opposed to autotune, computer programmed beats, and lyrics writen by another person than the one performing the song. Let's face it, mainstream music isn't really music. Music is an art, and art is talent.

[idiooteestist]

i really like this<3 and its added on my bday :]

[treemonster123]

sigur ros always ends movies perfectly.

[Hilallamaa]

Just look at those colors in this magnificent movie... and listening to the music simultaneously - how can your heart NOT burst with love, wonder, and yet with a twist of bittersweet heartache....... absolutely amazing...

[aoipanda360]

perfect song for the perfect movie

[saddlebags37]

one of my very favorite songs from vanilla sky, the nothing song

[nikoniko9]

love this song...........really speaks to my heart

[Memoryburst]

One of the best endings of a movie ever... This song made it that way for me. Incredible!!

[joshuaomargibson]

this music make me understand why life is so good weather life turn about bad or good it all up to you . this music make me feel so alive in the in side and the outside , god i love this song

[joshuaomargibson]

this music make me understand why life is so good weather life turn about bad or good it all up to you . this music make me feel so alive in the in side and the outside , god i love this song

[mazklassa1]

For the non-Icelandic speaker, Sigur ros speak in tongues of sorrow.

[OceanOfHeart]

I am looking for all the songs from the movie Vanilla Sky... great to find them here on YouTube... ;-) And, this song is amazing. Amazing!

[kpgerhardt]

This is the perfect version.

[HecstasyQ]

[emotherside]

@HecstasyQ I know that they're saying the spy machine, like the ''looking glass'' or something like that. sorry if i wasnt much help!

[mankeymunkey]

[LokoChase]

@mankeymunkey Hmm, that was really original.

[secretmiggles]
