Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós (English cover)

It's my attempt of an english version of Sigur Rós' Money Song. Several people asked me to do this, so I tried. This piano pattern is so insane and addicting.

Here are the lyrics:
"
Smiling
Spinning 'round and 'round
Tightly holding hands
The whole world is a blur
But you are standing

Completely soaked
Completely drenched to the bone
Not wearing wellingtons
The will is running in us
Erupting from a shell

Steering wind
The smell of your hair
Blowing away from here
I ran as fast as I could
Into you

Hoppípolla

My nose began to bleed
But I got up again
I always do
"

It's not an exact translation. I had to change some phrases to make it fit into the rhythm. I decided to not translate the word Hoppípolla because I didn't find any singable equivalent expression.

The video is from an 8mm film reel I found in the woods (no joke!). I don't know any person in this video. The cool thing about the film are the water damages at the end. They created wild patterns that just look awesome.

I made another video from this film reel: Different Roads ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7TgvWROD_I )

'Og ég fæ blóðnasir - en ég stend alltaf upp'

'My nose began to bleed - but I got up again - I always do'

I love how you used the hopelandic bit to get a more exact translation :D

Brilliant work.

@Starprizm Thanks! I was happy to have that extra space.

[Lovelyday300]

this is the most amazing song ever, really makes you want to go out and live life - your cover is beautiful and the video has really inspired me to make my own and hide it somewhere for someone to find just like you did. i hope someone creates something as beautful from it as you have!

[TheRoyalrey]

@Lovelyday300 that's a great plan! thanks!

[fulerguy]

Did you transpose for this song? Any tuning changes? It sounds beautiful.

[TheRoyalrey]

@fulerguy Yes, I transposed it to fit my voice.
