This song always gives me the uncontrollable urge to run naked with a bunch of my friends through a field. We wake up hours later with no recollection of what happened. It's awesome.
@DeDarkSajd Maybe an Icelander would think they made sense, but I don't know, because I'm not one (I haven't even lived there). The translation is my own; and it was hard to do, as they got completely rid of word order when writing it; saying things like (literally) "you eyes blow in sand cry." (Þú augu fjúka í sand tárast) but because it has some aspects in grammar that english does not, you can make some sense out of it.
@MaskFaceDude also apperently they like to sometimes sing in complete jibberish (using vocals as an instrument itself without the words making sense at all)
Jonsi calls it "Hopelandic", that's his gibberish language. I think he uses it to get melodies and sometimes prefers songs to not have real lyrics for whatever reason. The album "()" or "Parentheses" was entirely hopelandic, the cover sleeve even had no lyrics and no song titles apart from track numbers, telling people that if they wanted to put lyrics to it they could and name it. Very unique artists and I love them all the more for it :)
@DeDarkSajd I think even Icelanders would need a translation, as it barely makes any sense...
the lyrics are, according to their website, something like "you let hats be blown to the air,/ you turn umbrellas inside out too often,/ oh no, don't, oh/ you blow roofs out to choppy sea,/ you stroke hair, hit headresses,/ prankster boy/ wind in my hair/ you blow sand into eyes, (make them) cry,/ you stick fast bubblegum into hair,/ prankster boy/ wind in my hair" It's very hard to understand...
This song totally gives me the shivers. I haven't been so excited about a new piece of music (at least for me), in a long time. Rocksmith brought me here, this song is really fun to play on guitar.
@TheBlitzkriegking That's how I know this song too! and its SO freaking tricky to get it down...sometimes it doesn't read my C#m properly, thus screwing me over when trying to level the phrase..
he's addressing the wind in this song - he basically is saying like you blow off hats into the air, you flip umbrella's too often (the chorus is 'wind in my hair'). they're nonsensical, basically, and hard to translate to english :P
Have you ever heard a song and had to stop for a minute? Stop because it's so... perfect, you can't quite grasp it? This is that song for me, and I am so appreciative that, though they may not speak the same language as me, Sigur Ros can still speak to me, and make me happy, no matter where I am in my life. <3
Oh yeah....I almost forgot the one that we're on....Iceland = Sigur Ros, The Sugarcubes. I could also name tons more from America but I think everybody gets the point. Besides, The Pixies and Guided by Voices alone are enough to hold us over!
Okay, where was I? Germany = Trio, The Bollock Bros. France = Freur, Plastic Bertrand. Scotland = Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks. Ireland = Two Door Cinema Club, The Undertones, My Bloody Valentine. Sweden = Peter, Bjorn and John, The Radio Dept., Abba. Australia = The Church, Midnight Oil, Empire of the Sun, The Presets (I could go on and on) The point is that it's everywhere! Some American bands I didn't mention are Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Archers of Loaf, Interpol, damn!
@MyCatLikesYourCat Thanks very much....Yes, you definitely should check them out. I don't know who you've heard of and who you haven't, but I could even go further and suggest songs from each band as well...My reasoning for posting that is because everyone is always going on and on about how all the best music comes from the UK. While I probably don't disagree with that statement, I had to point out that great music comes from everywhere. Thanks again.....Take it easy!
@MyCatLikesYourCat You're not a bother at all my friend. 1st of all, it depends if you want older or newer....The older stuff would definitely be The Church and Midnight Oil....Songs from The Church that I recommend are: Metropolis, Month of Sundays, and Reptile. The very best song by Midnight Oil is called The Dead Heart and another great one is King of the Mountain. The other 2 are newer bands and I'd have to say The Presets are better. Their best include: Talk Like That, My People (cont)
@MyCatLikesYourCat Okay, and the last song by The Presets I suggest is called If I Know You. Now then, regarding Empire of the Sun, they only have one song that I've heard by them that I like, but man is it a masterpiece. It's called Walking on a Dream. It is massive. Anything else I can help you with, just give me a shout. Take Care
@MyCatLikesYourCat Anytime! I just checked out your channel and noticed you listened to Quiet Little Voices by We Were Promised Jetpacks...Let me tell ya, that is one of those bands that are so great that it's almost hard to believe that they are real....You need to check out a lot more by them, especially It's Thunder and It's Lightning, Short Bursts, Moving Clocks Run Slow, etc...I could go on and on....BTW, I added you as a friend!! My channel has a lot more great shit!! Take it easy!!
@31makimba Yeah, I'm really starting to like We Were Promised Jetpacks, too (It's Thunder and It's Lightning is my favourite). I noticed you like Jonsi, too...isn't he amazing? I like how his music is similar to the typical Sigur Ros stuff but has a different, more upbeat feel to the music.....it's awesome.
@MyCatLikesYourCat Oh yes...I've been a fan of Sigur Ros since 2002 so when Jonsi came out with solo material I was quick to listen and I've gotta say, I'm majorly impressed. There's not a bad song on the entire album. They're in a class all their own.
Geez...Everywhere I look anymore people are arguing over what country the best music comes from...I've been listening to great music for 25 years and not once did that ever cross my mind until now...I always knew where the bands were from, but it didn't make any fucking difference...England = The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Joy Division, The Smiths, The Cure, Depechemode (okay, I could go on forever with that one) America = The Pixies, Guided by Voices and much more. I have too much more...Look up
enchanting composition of sound and rhythm, like a wave of childish feeling that starts a whole rush through your body, renegade feelings coming through........what a song....
holy moley I love this song with all my heart. It's the second most played song on my iTunes at about 365 plays. I can't get enough!! I listen to it everyday. It's kinda sad. The album cover, however, is one of my favorites as well. STREAKING! hahaha. I love Sigur Ros.
this song makes me smiling like an idiot..Can't stop..But that makes Sigur Ros' music so unique..It can make you smiling, but also makes you weep..Its so undescribable beautiful that it nearly hurts....Sigur Ros is THE band of the century!
btw..please don't see this as a spam, but this might interest some of you..
I found a band on youube called "Nyctalgia"
If you've got time, listen to their song "Lost in timeless horizons"
Breathtaking, powerful masterpiece by this extremely young guy...
@GrowTillTall I freakin' love this song so much. When ever I have a really bad day or I need calm down about something I listen to this song because it is so amazing I am always happy when ever I listen to it. It is impossible to be sad, angry or negative while listening to it.
@7pcamat I feel... The mild whistle of birds preparing to endure a moonlit night, fading away at dusk. The calm breeze of a throbbing ocean, the smell of fresh rain in a desert oasis, the... I FEEL GREAT THANK YOU I NEVER THOUGHT--*cries of happiness*

You hats make fly into the air You turn umbrellas inside out too often Oh no, don't You roofs blow out into the stormy sea You hair stroke and hem blowing Prankster boy You (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala lalalala) Wind in hair Wind in hair Wind in hair Wind in (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala) Your eyes blow sand, tears You gum throw in hair stuck Prankster boy You (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala lalalala) Wind in hair Wind in hair Wind in hair Wind in (Lalalala lalalala... Lalalala)
(you are being blown(as in with the wind) long ?? to the air. you, umbrella, turning upside-down. too many times. oh no, i see ?.) (you ? are being blown (a.i.w.t.w) out to the "harsh"sea. you your hair stroking land was hit. premiscous? boy/bad boy/filty boy..) Þú (Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala lalalala) (you eyes ? until he breaks into tears. you chewing gum stuck on hand. premiscous boy/bad boy/filthy boy..) Lyrics for ENGLISH Song written in Hopelandish
I want to put this song on loop and plug my laptop up to my seven point surround sound system and just listen to it forever.... This is the EPITOME of beautiful music in all EPIC gaseousness, it is both simplicity and complexity all in one. The tranquility it brings is truly amazing....
I don't understand what Jonsi and the crew are singing in Icelandic/Hopelandic here, but I know that this song never fails to make me smile...it exemplifies childhood and innocence like no other song in the world. Sigur Ros forever.
This song is in Icelandic. Check out Lyricwiki for the translations to almost all of their songs......those that are sung in Icelandic. Obviously they can't translate hopelandic since it's not a language.
Not to mention you find someone that can use a bow so freely passionatly and beaultiful as jonsi. Anyone who says jimmy page, needs to understand the difference between whitenoise and beauty.
Also i cant stress enough the music ability behind sigur ros, beinga perfection an over ayalst and musician, i can no longer listen to songs without analysing every detail, and sigur ros make me speechless no words but, "wooahh ooo"
and also how amazing it is when you hear jonsi sing so high you cant imagine it any higher, till bang he hits an octave higher.
lol alot of people are so slow, Icelandic is sigur ros' main language and also for singing, hopelandic is only used as "hahaurwrong" said in some songs and more in (). a little bit of trivia too, icelandic is one the hardest languge to learn on this earth.
i'd rather listen to anything in a different language now than the stuff we have in the US. it doesn't seem original to me. but i absolutley love this. i can't stop listening to it even though i don't understand it
@juicylolipop93 there are English lyrics to this song out there. Even when translated they're still silly. :) But I'm with you about U.S. music in the charts - it's just mostly plain pop and R&B, no diversity. Acts like Sigur Ros are a good 50 years away from being accepted by the American public.
@laissezfayre and the mainstream audiences of any other country.
All this shitty RnB and rap polluting the music industry. That ain't music, that's just shit piled upon more shit and then fed to the idiotic masses. THIS is music.
@laissezfayre I must be a rarity then, but then again I don't listen to the music that "charts." I will agree with you that the mainstream music in the U.S. totally blows, but there is a shitload of great Indie music here. Speaking of Sigur Ros though, I've been a fan since '02....and when I say fan, I mean a fucking fan, let me tell ya!
@laissezfayre... i live in the U.S., and you would be deeply surprised on how many of us actually listen to this music, and truely appreciate it... not just the U.S. has been taken over by so called "artists" that think they can "sing", but its a world wide epedimic indeed ^_*...
Yeah! =] Like hottypiollina said, A lot of the U.S. is actually inhabited by the underground of rebels, poets, (TRUE) musicians, and individualists. I wouldn't be surprised if Sigur Ros were able to take a large tour in the U.S. to have every show sell-out.
@juicylolipop93 well, this is a great song and a great band, but dont trash all music coming from america. there are more great post-rock and indie bands coming from the US these days, you just have to spend time looking in the right places and greatness pops up.
It always gives me a smart smile upon my face with every listen..It makes me totally happy about everything in life..! Sigur Ros are so beautiful, some breathtaking and magical moments they gave me..!
I found a Band called "Nyctgalgia" some minutes ago while surfing on youtube..You should listen to their song "Falling into nothingness".. AMazing..!
no its not, they made up their own language. look it up. Only for that album. "all of the vocals ( ) are however in hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals."
Some are, this one is in Hopelandic. They pretty much sing gibberish and stuff...they do it to prove that it doesnt take lyrics and words to make a song beautiful...really good point...
they (the band) calls it hopelandic its they're own launguge, it really shows that not knowing wat they are saying doesnt make the music any less beautiful...they accually only started singing in icelandic in they're late albums
this song makes me happy. : )

I want to put this song on loop and plug my laptop up to my seven point surround sound system and just listen to it forever.... This is the EPITOME of beautiful music in all EPIC gaseousness, it is both simplicity and complexity all in one. The tranquility it brings is truly amazing....

I don't understand what Jonsi and the crew are singing in Icelandic/Hopelandic here, but I know that this song never fails to make me smile...it exemplifies childhood and innocence like no other song in the world. Sigur Ros forever.

This song is in Icelandic. Check out Lyricwiki for the translations to almost all of their songs......those that are sung in Icelandic. Obviously they can't translate hopelandic since it's not a language.

Not to mention you find someone that can use a bow so freely passionatly and beaultiful as jonsi. Anyone who says jimmy page, needs to understand the difference between whitenoise and beauty.

Also i cant stress enough the music ability behind sigur ros, beinga perfection an over ayalst and musician, i can no longer listen to songs without analysing every detail, and sigur ros make me speechless no words but, "wooahh ooo"
and also how amazing it is when you hear jonsi sing so high you cant imagine it any higher, till bang he hits an octave higher.
GretschO7 1 year ago
lol alot of people are so slow, Icelandic is sigur ros' main language and also for singing, hopelandic is only used as "hahaurwrong" said in some songs and more in (). a little bit of trivia too, icelandic is one the hardest languge to learn on this earth.

gigglesz123789 2 years ago
@juicylolipop93 there are English lyrics to this song out there. Even when translated they're still silly. :) But I'm with you about U.S. music in the charts - it's just mostly plain pop and R&B, no diversity. Acts like Sigur Ros are a good 50 years away from being accepted by the American public.
laissezfayre 1 year ago 22
@laissezfayre and the mainstream audiences of any other country.
All this shitty RnB and rap polluting the music industry. That ain't music, that's just shit piled upon more shit and then fed to the idiotic masses. THIS is music.
Music is an art, not a can full of shit.

@PlasticOblivion Are you one of the few people I have seen anywhere who know how to use their brain? You are right on there.
In other news, this is an utterly awesome song and I shall now have to listen to Sigur Ros until my brain leaks from my ears.
Rabidbadger011 1 year ago
@laissezfayre I must be a rarity then, but then again I don't listen to the music that "charts." I will agree with you that the mainstream music in the U.S. totally blows, but there is a shitload of great Indie music here. Speaking of Sigur Ros though, I've been a fan since '02....and when I say fan, I mean a fucking fan, let me tell ya!

@laissezfayre... i live in the U.S., and you would be deeply surprised on how many of us actually listen to this music, and truely appreciate it... not just the U.S. has been taken over by so called "artists" that think they can "sing", but its a world wide epedimic indeed ^_*...
hottypiollina 6 months ago
Yeah! =] Like hottypiollina said, A lot of the U.S. is actually inhabited by the underground of rebels, poets, (TRUE) musicians, and individualists. I wouldn't be surprised if Sigur Ros were able to take a large tour in the U.S. to have every show sell-out.

@juicylolipop93 well, this is a great song and a great band, but dont trash all music coming from america. there are more great post-rock and indie bands coming from the US these days, you just have to spend time looking in the right places and greatness pops up.

Great and beautiful song!
It always gives me a smart smile upon my face with every listen..It makes me totally happy about everything in life..! Sigur Ros are so beautiful, some breathtaking and magical moments they gave me..!
I found a Band called "Nyctgalgia" some minutes ago while surfing on youtube..You should listen to their song "Falling into nothingness".. AMazing..!
I thought this may interest some of you...

no its not, they made up their own language. look it up. Only for that album. "all of the vocals ( ) are however in hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals."
......read that.
DemonicGman 2 years ago
well, it's their own rendition of Icelandic. They call it "Hopelandic". Some of the words are Icelandic, but the rest are made up.
