sigur ros - staralfur

[Joe11yeah]

Instant goosebumps

[BachBeethovenBeatles]

Thank you Sigur Ros. I don't feel lonely anymore.

[ampmtask]

oh yes.

[Stevenwinrar]

Where have I heard this before....

[63suncat]

it's around 4:20 haven't slept in a hot minute and it just started snowing..time for a stroll with this song.

[Darfwike]

English: Blue Night Over The Sky Blue Night Over Me Disappeared Out The Window My Hands Hidden Under My Cheek I Think About My Day Today And Yesterday I Wear My Blue Nighties Go Straight To Bed I Caress The Soft Covers Close My Eyes I Hide My Head Under The Covers A Little Elf Stares At Me Runs Towards Me But Doesn't Move From Place A Staring Elf I Open My Eyes The Crusts Come Off I Stretch Myself And Check Returned Again And Everything's Okay Still There's Something Missing Like All The Walls

[Backwardsman97]

@Darfwike Hahahahaha

[juanmllanos]

The lyrics are in Icelandic, the band is from Iceland... it's not only sound, it has a meaning

[oOoScreamXxX]

Someone find me the translation, and I'll give you an internet hug.

[daemoth0]

@oOoScreamXxX theres no lyrics, cause its not a language, its only sound. (Wiki says : Vonlenska is a term used to describe the unintelligible lyrics sung by the band) Do i get a hug anyway? :P

[oOoScreamXxX]

@daemoth0 YES.  *bear hug*.

[Gordonovski]

@daemoth0 Vonlenska is only in some of their songs, other songs do have lyrics in Icelandic. The song Animal Arithmetic by Jonsi(the singer of Sigur Ros) is in English, but has a small section in Vonlenska. But I'll still give you a hug, that's what Jonsi would want. :P

[avenapalm]

i'll never get her back

[ZnetProductions]

What is this? Shit.

[Caesarslegion1]

@ZnetProductions cunt

[norton36456]

catch my heart squeeze it tight

now understand my feeling tonight

looking at you your hazel eyes

seeing you laugh makes me smile

even though we are so new

i can think of nothing but you

you just exploded inside my world

i feel like a boy crazy about a girl

[MrSuperBlither]

mjög gott þetta lag

[dasfoo1]

one of the most emotive, heart wrenchingly beautiful songs ive ever heard

[AHOYKIPPER]

good tune, if you've got your head on straight

[Brombit]

This song is used for weddings and funerals... What can I say?

[MrHunterX]

hermosa cancion

[AdamPeeGuerra]

I played this at my mom's funeral. we used to listen to this sitting together in the living room just talking when i was home from school... i miss her so much.

[shitification1]

it was beautiful

[shitification1]

listened to this while havin an enema

[Matroska29]

Wicked awesome :)

[goodnotgreatt]

This is how the Multivers sound like.

[groupXonline]

Just a question: does anyone know how to get that "Artist: Sigur Ros" under the like bar on your video so the video doesn't get muted? Thanks :)

[seanulous]

this was played at my girlfriends funeral. it was on when I walked in and saw her body for the first time...

I cry every time I hear it

[moozikjunkie]

i want this song to play when my corpse is put intothe ground and my body decays and i no longer exsist in any form other than memory =D

[sleepyeyeguy]

When I die, I want this song to be playing as I slip away into the void.

[Kipperphx]

Came here when I heard this on CTFxC!

[ray03]

@Kipperphx hey do you remember which vlog it was on? thanks :)

[Kipperphx]

@ray03 It's at the end of the vlog called "GIRL IN A BUBBLE! (9.25.11 - Day 878)" when Alli is "meditating" in their bedroom. I've also heard it in a few other vlogs for a few seconds.

[kashkashikas]

gorgeousness.

[norcalgirl83]

This was the first Sigur Ros song I ever heard, shared with me by a friend, and it was love at first listen! They are now my favorite band, I can't tell you how much their music means to me!

[chriscoad22]

This is such a beautiful song and it always brings back such good memories for me

[willvidsalot6382]

I know people listen to this song... To find religious and spiritual reflection...

But I can't help but feel that they're missing out...

If you play this on an mp3 player, go for a walk in the countryside... And just observe and reflect on the beauty of the flora and fauna of the world...

It really makes you come to peace that, in a brief instant, the atoms and elements combine together within myself...The universe, becomes self aware

It's beautiful to think about

This song suits it perfectly...

[thatothergirl456]

@willvidsalot6382 whatever floats your boat :)

[thatothergirl456]

@willvidsalot6382 whatever floats your boat :)

[JasonBing231]

very very beautiful music

[GleefullyLost]

first sigur ros song I ever heard

been in love with their music ever since

[GDhaenens]

The Life Aquatic brought me here

Beautiful track

[bajeebas123]

i was flying over greenland and listening to this while looking over the spectacular views.... i wanted to stay in that moment forever. its amazing how music can make you feel like in a certain place. and Sigur Ros does an amazing job of making me want to just go to that place,, wherever it may be, a physical place or just a place i go in my head (not tryin to sound nuts here or anything) , where everything is peaceful, and where i feel completly at peace and free.

[facecheek]

the strings are fuck. What? they are!

[Kakapo4Ever]

Staralfur means 'A Staring Elf'

[thetailedjay]

A person who I talked to on Omegle recommended me this song. I'm glad he did, because this is wonderful. Thank you, Andres.

[ploothable]

@thetailedjay Wtf is Omegle?

[deseasedracoon]

@ploothable it's a webcam chat thing, kind of like chat roulette

[pfergee]

i wonder if he remembers me....

[TheRsword1087]

@pfergee made the best rum cannonball I've ever tasted....

[pfergee]

@TheRsword1087 ... remind me to send you a red cap and a speedo.

[AustinPepp]

I walked down the isle at my wedding to this :)

[Jakeshark]

@AustinPepp If I ever get married,I am so using Sigur Ros music.

[itsregular]

@AustinPepp that's what my brother wants to do :D AWESOME!

[AHarmlessBlackMan]

Sigur ros is responsible for 70% of the goosebumps I have ever had in my life

[ampmtask]

I hope someone kills me when I die.

[sambeanzy]

i want sigur ros to write the soundtrack for my life

[THEBambiNoir]

@hellifairy : explain do?Im curious as to what you mean...

[thedonnycrew]

Like this if you came to this video completely by chance

[hellifairy]

this is one of the great heathen hymns like for instance "Stairway to heaven" of led Zeppelin or Celebration of the Lizard of the doors.

Its divine. Takk fyrir sigur ros

[JustinSage]

More. Please. More.

[userkaranb]

my yoga teacher puts this on during shivasna

[TheEmerald92]

idk if Sigur Ros is making me happier or Sadder.

my life is a fucking mess. FML

[dirty7black7boy7]

@TheEmerald92 cheer up, at least you're alive. So many children wish they could have that opportunity.

[cibomatto47]

Walking down the aisle to this song. It's going to be wonderful :)

[pfergee]

thumbs up if "The life aquatic with steve zissou" brought you here!

[MrClimatize]

@pfergee the crazy thing is, is that i found sigur ros songs that i love then came across this and immediatly remembered that beautiful part in life aquatic

[Szymon1299Wilk]

aż przez tą piosenke płakałem choć nie wiem o czym spiewa

[joshorsonhatesyou]

good music to help you pee

[serioussac]

yeah me too... just had to find out where the song came from after having heard it on The Life Aquatic

[MonkeyDamir]

just heard it on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou =)

[Bauchelain]

"I wonder if it remembers me... " Beautiful song and really fitting for such a touching scene.

[MozartisticMuse]

Listen and behold the emotions within you that you never knew you had. This song is used at the end of The Life Aquatic in a really beautiful emotional scene and it brings me to tears every time.

[meankhan]

My favorite part of this amazing song 0:00 to 5:58

Just Wow!!!!

[Luisviolin2010]

4:10 <-----my favorite part of this awesome song

[ShyWallflower]

hope replenished be back in three days for more =)

[ChinookkABLE]

This song is like no other. Everytime i listen to it its like the first time that i heard it, and all my body shivers, i feel electricity going through my arms and my chest, i feel warm, and all my troubles go away. This is true beauty.

[xmotherxfireflyx]

hopelandish <3

[motherflacker]

this song is kind of miracle

[ElloitsCass]

This song makes me feel like I'm waking up in a beautiful meadow to sunlight streaming down on me. Then slowly getting up, taking in the nature, as small birds chirp happily.. Only to stroll into the nearby forest, it's trees illuminated by the morning sun.

[Sindrijo]

Blánótt yfir himininn, blánótt yfir mér Horf' útum gluggann minn með hendur faldar undir kinn Hugs' um daginn minn í dag og í gær Blá náttfötin klæða mig í, beint upp í rúm Breiði mjúku sængina, loka augunum Ég fel hausinn undir sæng Starir á mig lítill álfur Breytir mér í en hreyfist ekki úr stað sjálfur Starálfur Opna augun stýrurnar-og teygi mig og tel Kominn aftur og allt alltílæ samt vantar eitthvað (Eins og allar hurðirnar. Starir á mig lítill álfur með lítil eyru.) Úr stað sjálfur ég er

[neilb229]

Now that geezer has made it all English, it's all become clear.

Mon the Fish! Wibble. Beautiful Katie, etc.

[deeboiz]

This song on mushrooms will blow your mind. What the fuck is this!

[VV11TT00]

fa cagare

[TheOneAndOnly554153]

This song is on the soundtrack of life!

[KingPixelmouth]

This song reminds me of true love. I will never fall out of love with you Katie....

[darklordsma]

@KingPixelmouth creepy!

[Aepotheosis]

@darklordsma I second that motion

[clazza01]

ENGLISH LYRICS

Blue Night Over The Sky

Blue Night Over Me

Dis-Appeared Out Of The Window

Me With Hands

[Sindrijo]

@clazza01 Dis-Appeared = Watch

Horf' út um gluggann... minn-með hendur faldar undir kinn.

It's "his" window so it should be:

"Watch Out Of My Window"

There are also some other errors in the other verses.

Runs Towards Me = Changes/Transforms Me Into...

Walls = Doors, (... eins og allar hurðirnar)

You also missed the last quiet lyric, before the final line:

(Starir á mig... lítll álfur... með lítil eyru.) = Stares at me... a small elf... with small ears.)

[clazza01]

Hidden Under My Cheek

I Think About My Day

Today And Yesterday

I Put On My Blue Nighties

Go Straight To Bed

[clazza01]

I Pull The Soft Covers Over

Close My Eyes

I Hide My Head Under The Covers

A Little Elf Stares At Me

Runs Towards Me But Doesn’t Move

From Place - Himself

A Staring Elf

I Open My Eyes

[clazza01]

Take The Crusts Out

Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven’t)

Returned Again And Everything Is Okay

Still There Is Something Missing

Like All The Walls

[TheOneAndOnly554153]

When i die, i want this song to be playing when i ride those beautiful golden esculators to heaven!

[HeavyVerbzz]

@TheOneAndOnly554153

or hell

[thatguylander]

@TheOneAndOnly554153 god dam religion mother fucker!

[frozenbloodbullets]

@thatguylander wow your open minded aren't you, prejudice mother fucker! be a little more acceptant of what people choose to include in their lives, if religion has a positive effect on his soul then good on him :)

[thatguylander]

@frozenbloodbullets u stank

[bajskorvaren]

@TheOneAndOnly554153 6 feet deep,dead * 

[Darthshepius]

@TheOneAndOnly554153 A golden escalator would collapse under it's own weight. . .

[campernocamping1]

violins are sooo epic from 4:10 to 5:30

[indiekline]

The girl in the cafe ...a classic gem of a "faux boring " movie ....and this song takes over my mind ...I'm smitten!

thanks for working your magic ,

Harper John

[Lurchy1a]

Klasse!

Sorry, I Speak Not English!

[alohalohaQQ]

Go to your room,close the door,light a ciggarete,listen to Sigur Ros,lay in bed and just...dream :)

[thmoordman]

@alohalohaQQ you forgot the get laid part! :)

[xandapanda]

@alohalohaQQ Please don't do this. You'll wake up five minutes later to a blazing room, choking on thick smoke, faced with a slim chance of escape. Still, at least it will all be set to some lovely music.

[Grack86]

great song! you guys should check out cabaret caputain with ' laterne ' in my channel, reminds me a lot of the atmospheric sound of sigur rós.

watch?v=dL7jutnxol0

[philbateman1989]

Oh, and 53 people were shot dorsally with a homing dart.

[VZZH]

I'm not the biggest fan of sigur ros, but i have to say, this song fuckin' rocks.

[crubba]

@yopolupu you best be trollin

[jaredong]

dat epic water slides

[joshbalzary]

Best album ever to make babies to.

[FabianBajorat]

@joshbalzary i'ma allow myself to counter your claim with the truth about it: Dark Side Of The Moon, have sex to that music and you wanna make babies every day, cheers ;)

[joshbalzary]

@FabianBajorat Haha well I'm always up for suggestions. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

[FabianBajorat]

@joshbalzary good luck! ;) don't forget the rubber rofl

[LittleTut75]

3:11 always gets me

[PlanetAgnostic]

On a cocktail of drugs...... But thats irrelevant, this is pure magic!

[Silentquail]

Nothing quite makes a moment solemnly beautiful like this song.

[GabeIsHobbes]

i tear up every time i hear this song. its transcendent.

[JudyMaryAndYuki]

I hear dolphins at the beginning. Also sound of firework drumming away, after the acoustic guitar part. I swear I'm not on drugs! This band is truly out of this world!

[Yoriskumo]

<3

[Elloiloveyou]

....that.... was beautiful. 

[Kagemi]

nice ms paint broski

[Meakinish]

why can't every magical moment in life have Sigur Ros playing in the background??

[OneWaysOnly]

@Meakinish It does if you listen closely. When you're at one with peace and harmony, music.

[azimuth457]

@Meakinish I listen to them often enough for that to happen once in a while!

[Nazareadain]

@Meakinish because that kind of talent deserves the foreground!

[DaDaDaaaa4]

@Meakinish

Cuz there is such a thing as "Too much of a good thing"...i like Sigur Ros...I believe they are a very unique band that creates very unique music...but to listen to ONLY them and to have ONLY them play in EVERY moment of my life whether its bad or good would drive me insane. I really like Sigur Ros...I dont absolutely LOVE them

[Italygirl125]

@Meakinish totally had a dream while taking a nap today and this was my background music

[cryostate]

I always associate this song with Minecraft...

[Jaikodragon]

@cryostate lol howso? I'm playing Minecraft right now.

[cryostate]

@Jaikodragon i dont know, whenever i hear this i always think of the beauty of minecraft...

that and because this was the background song for a minecraft video called 'The Slide' :3

[Jaikodragon]

@cryostate Oh wow! Thanks for telling me about that video! It was amazing!

[littlebull101]

this is a great song, a mix of old and new

[icelandicpvpers]

51 who dislike this had the speakers set to 0% volume <3

[joshuabelingham]

There is also a clear and wonderful link with the Durutti column!

[latenightlunging]

gawd i havent listened to this song in years.. i come back to it now and it gives me the chills... how amazing this song is

[chuckst0nes]

I can't stop listening to this track with awe and wonder at the composition of it. Not only does it have a palindromic string section (which plays the same forward as it does in reverse), but the track 'Avalon' from the same album is actually an alternate take of the same string section from Starálfur. Truly awesome! Sigur Ros are genius.

[AmandaAshleyB]

My absolute fav by sigur ros! Love it!

[Renegademaster15]

If you like Sigur Ros, try listening to 'Accept Me', an original song by me on my channel, you might be presently surprised :)

[BeyondTheTreeline]

@Renegademaster15 'pleasantly' you mean?

D for damager, power to the people

[antnybeard]

4:33 gets me every time. weepin' like a baby.

[UberGut]

'Iceland: Beyond Sigur Ros' (2011). New free music documentary out! :)

[sillyearthling]

i thought this song wasn't on the soundtrack i want a red cap and a speedo

[kemurikat]

Love this song!

First heard it in the Wes Anderson movie 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'.

This band's songs are brilliant and transcendental.

[SeveralSeveredShins]

Oddly enough, the last night I spent in the hospital with my grandmother before she past away (ALS, Lou Gherig's Disease), I had my iPod with me. This was the last song I heard before they came and told us that my aunt (grandmother's sister) and my mother were going to pull the plug, she was brain-dead and had no chance at recovery. I can't listen to it anymore, but it is beautiful.

[pastadam]

MadV..

[VirtualSamadhi]

Nice day with this and Mono. Kronos later...

[purpleviola1]

Whenever I hear this song, even though I don't understand Icelandic, the amazing message is still completely clear to me. Only a band as incredible as this one can accomplish that.

[purpleviola1]

Whenever I hear this song, even if I don't understand Icelandic, the amazing message is still completely clear to me. Only a band as amazing as this one can accomplish that.

[gangtaylor412724]

A new modern symphony #1 in G- with choral tones with full chords bridging together. I always thought the piano was the most beautiful instrument know I know it's the human voice!

[madeinwales68]

@Trustmeimadoctor83 - nice sentiment but I would lay off the extacy for a while!

[kookoo78]

This song was playing on Music Choice when I brought my son home from the hospital and I remember it was on and he was smiled at me in approval
