This is such an amazing song...I really like the way it starts so misterious and turns into a hymn that touches the deepest of my heart and is so beautiful that it nearly hurts...Olafur is amazing..!

I now hope, that no one sees this as a spam, but I just think that good music needs to be shared...

I found a guy on youtube called "Silvio pfiffner"

If you've got the time, listen to his song "Coming home" and "Time changed everything"

Breathtaking and powerful song by this young, talented guy..!

The Reason this guy isn't showcasing the Music Charts World Wide is because believe it or not, Record Labels & Chart Music isn't actually about Good Music. A Long time ago the Greediest people imaginable pushed Musicians out of the Control Seat; Turning their backs on the Real Musicians. As a result, people have been bread & conditioned to like the "Digital" sound where everything is Loud, Proud, Rigid, Non-Expressive, Looped, Stereo-Wide & quite frankly lifeless. And they force it upon ears. ->

People always try to find a way to connect Iceland with it's elves and shit like that to the music. The truth is that it's just a projection. It's a cliché designed by the minds of fans so that they can have something to connect the weird etherial sound of Sigur Rós and others to. They just want something to look for. It has nothing to do with Iceland itself. The market overseas does not need Icelandic pop and metal. That's why only the weird things get exported.

"how did i forget..howw?"

It's amazing how even this tune seems so simple in the beginning, Every part of it holds so much power.

Lol I love the differences between his song and the song that is played at the end of the show.

@ognistik He is huge in Iceland...part of the problem is in the USA we have completely lost real music. We have gone from Sinatra to Chris Brown and team Breezy. Iceland has so many wonderful artists.
