came here from a tiktok of a professor having his students sit outside in nature and reflect while listening to this and have assigned myself homework to do the same.
Same story and will be doing the same thing
same here :)
Same!!
Me too
Same here!
We play this in the astronomy observatory I work at. Imagine being there at night, in the dim red lighting inside the observatory dome, waiting in line to go up the telescope steps, and then seeing your first in-person, real-life view of Saturn, while hearing this music. Transcendent.
Wow ... how cool is THAT!
I had goosebumps just by reading this! WOW! My 6-year-old daughter wants a telescope for her birthday and when I give it to her I ´ll make sure I play this album!!
😍😍😍
surfing1998 “...real-life view of Saturn,”......😂😂😂😂😂😂. I ❤️ globlins!🤗💋🙄
Yes, my first view of Saturn (real life) was quite memorable but this would have still improved it. Love that comment.
My mum is 65 yrs old and i just introduced her to Sigur Ros's music for her first time. She loves them and she just said "This is something special. I have never listened to something like this in the world. THIS is music". She comes into my room and says "Please put THOSE songs". That's how we spend quarantine. Italian mamma loving Sigur Ros
Michela Khadija Awesome
IF IT IS DIFFICULT IN LIFE IT ONLY GETS MORE DIFFICULT WITH THIS MUSIC sorry!
@@marinusman6835 then don't listen to it haha quite the opposite for me.(:
Deep 🧡
Introducer her to Dead Can Dance
A few years ago, myself and my now wife were in the Sahara desert spending a night sleeping under the night sky while listening to this album. What a memory! What a feeling!
A memory forever so cool!
Jellysaurus!!!
Similar experience, mediating on edibles with a great guy lying on the deck watching the clouds and the edges of a beautiful tree. One of my favorite memories that introduced me to this album. Only hope my story turns out the same.
We are truly blessed to be in a time where something so beautiful is just a few clicks away.
True
I strongly agree
True True .
Even in lockdown we are lucky to hear this
Toootally 🤙🏼🍃
This album is too raw to listen to with my friends. I can only listen alone. It feels strange to feel so vulnerable around others.
some music is made to enjoy alone
Nah fam I blast dis jamz at every banga I party at!!!
@@tamie341 lol this is not a blaster.
Walls down, please
Look for me on facebk, Eduard Eddy
I’m deaf and I have a cochlear implant, but I never really connected with music. Sure, I enjoy going dancing or to concerts if someone asks me to join in since I did enjoy the atmosphere. It became exhausting straining to understand the lyrics and watching others get raptured by the music. Then someone like me introduced me to this. I can live without music unlike a lot people have claimed about themselves, but I think I would be sad to never listen to this again. So lovely and peaceful.
this touched me to read while listening to the pure sound...
My secret weapon to get a class of 6 year olds to read quietly for a whole 30 minutes
Un-stimulating music is definitely key, and this is definitely that.
That's a pretty awesome memory to have when they grow up
Clever
lucky class
Best teacher ever
What the music told me : « Being ready isn't about being ready. It is about deciding to try, even if I'm not. I don't need more preparation ; I just need more trust.».
beautiful..
This quote soothes my soul
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
And suddenly your soul remembers where it came from..

Lol Right on !
So true.
My dad's balls :)
@@HalfBakedHeroes u must be the funny guy in the party
There are 2 types of people in the world, those who do not understand music like this and those who do. Thank God for the latter.
This album is like the mix of nostalgic impotence, pure sweetness, neverending love and inconsolable sadness that I feel when I miss seeing my mother's face, when I would give everything in the world to caress her only once again in my life.
beautiful words
i want not to say anything.. but, what if i don't? say it or ask it.. i mustn't. and i.. *tears * won't.. . .my deepest condolences
what a lucky person to have a mother like that
Francesca same 😢🌷

Today my teacher English put on some background music and told us that we had to be quiet enough for him to hear the music, I didn't think it was much at first, but then I realized it was Sigur Ros so I have found a new respect for this teacher.
Personal thoughts from listening to this album : "From time to time, its okay to clean our windows to the soul. It helps approaching all our journeys with a clear vision."
Going to the 2024 concert in Detroit. My wife will be coming with me even though she hasn’t really immersed herself into Sigur Ros as much as I have. She agreed to come knowing that this music has helped me with my sobriety( 8 years). It’s the only vice that can make me feel euphoric. It’s truly empowering and I’m grateful that I’ve found this “medicine “.
Congratulations on your achievement. Yes, music can be healing.
Man... I was having a conversation with my father and he just started to motivate me to follow my dreams. While this song was playing. Dude, I'm so happy right now.
🥸
I have fond memories listening to this beautiful album on the Great Barrier Reef, i would wake up at sunrise every morning, put on my headphones listening to sigur ros watching baby turtle hatchlings crawling out to the ocean. Never have I been more at peace with myself and my surroundings.
This album reminds me of all the greatness of life. Regards from China.
That's my one hour of peace .I don't understand a word, never googled to check what it means. I listen to it when i need to study, sleep, write, introspect etc. It's the background when it's scary quiet or annoyingly loud around me. It's divine !!!
Wonderful! This is, how music affects me most of the time. And this is one very special example, where music touches my soul and my heart, without knowing what the text is about. It is not necessary, it just works. Beautiful! Thanks. :-)
It's so relaxing and I listen to it and sleep.

it's not a canonic language , the vonlenska is an artificial language, but if u wanna search there are the "traducions" in english
They're not words. They're just sounds. That's part of the beauty of it. They use phonetic pieces of English and Icelandic and it's all actually nonsense.. just the voice as another instrument. I think that's a huge part of the beauty, is that it's not the words that tell us the story, but it becomes whatever story it needs to be for us.
I saw Sigur Ros at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. Amazing show. "Festival" was our wedding march song. Sigur Ros really helped me when my brother passed away at 33.

Samuel Young the best imo
@Samuel Young ... Taak!
Ekki Mukk ... das schönste Lied, was ich je gehört habe.
So do I
hm, i thought its one of the best of their albums:}
Varúð is one of their most magical songs to me.
Mine is Dauðalogn !
Send this music into space to let others who find it know how beautiful the humans of Earth can be.
We all are blessed to be here, to know sigur ros, to listen to them, to deeply connect to their music and understand everything without actually understanding a word they say. Sigur ros is an energy that drives our souls to the empty yet filled cosmos.
I listened to this album while driving through the Southern Alps in New Zealand. Such a perfectly majestic soundtrack to match the experience!
This album contains some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. Each song takes me somewhere I've never been, but feel like I've been there my whole life.
How wonderful. It seems like starting a conversation with eternity.
yesss
In this times we're living all around the globe, this is hope, TRULY hope. The most human music i've ever heard
Look for me on facebk, Eduard Eddy
Listening 2 this when driving around Iceland. Watching the incredible nature! I havent heard Sigurd Ros before. It made the trip THE trip i will never forget. I was a passenger in the car...Just listening, watching the scenery, thinking....and watch the landscape some more! This is truly divine!
ok, now i have a new dream on my life
yes and no
Was planning my trip there before 2020. 😔 Hopefully soon!
The first time I heard a sigur ros song, I was sitting on the floor in my friend's new house in North carolina, the windows were open, the sun was setting and the dandelion and sycamore buds were flying through the air and it seemed very dream like. Then one day, about 15 years later, I was sitting in a stadium in San Francisco, and they were playing right in front of me. I honestly just couldn't speak. The music was so pure!
i bought sigur ros’s second album Takk for my sons 24 th birthday in 2005 he was so bewitched by their music that he bought a ticket to the Nordic realm and has been there ever since producing his own music under the name of Abraham Kenny such is the power of their music
I’d venture to call Iceland🇮🇸an intersection of creation & destruction, both beginning & ending, thanks to its isolation & wild upheavals from within the earth, as well as soothing stillness of its meadows. He’s very lucky to have made it his place while on this sphere in space.
I will forever be grateful to this album as my soul was wakened from its slumber.

as a composer, even I've learned many music theories and (complicated) composition techniques, i always can not reject Sigur Ros energy. its something absolute, absolutely wonderful art
Look for me on facebk, Eduard Eddy
Fellow composer here, although I haven't learned music theory of any kind (I just go with what I think sounds good). Initially I wanted to fit into a certain genre, but after many years I've come to find that the best music is that which has no genre. It just is. It just exists and lives and breathes like the artists who created it. It needs no acceptance, not appreciation, but it gains both for just being without interacting with anyone in any way. It just is and we love it for being so. It shows us existence as something else than routine. Something that feels alive. Something that feels human and not mechanical and I find that concept in Sigur Rós music, as well as in many others. If anything, it has taught me that music theory in general does not matter. Music doesn't need a theory to exist. It just is.

I agree

Inspirational
Yeah, maybe this is not for me
If there was ever a validation for the bleak and brutal path that humanity has endured in surviving to this day, this is it. This moment, these sounds; they are arrival at the promised land of the soul.
Les escucho desde hace mucho...de noche, en toque de queda, en cuarentena total, preparando mi clase de historia del arte, en mi angustia por mi país y por mis hijas e hijo. Este disco me permite seguir viviendo. Es un placer indescriptible que me toma y me lleva a otro lugar, pero luego me vuelve a dejar en casa. Es la banda sonora del otoño en Chile. Infinitas gracias...ni se lo imaginan.
Un abrazo amiga. Qué todo le vaya muy bien. Mis mejores deseos.
música emocional y poderosa...
:)
this is my fav album ever! it helps me go to sleep and also helps anxiety
im going to see them this sunday :)...cannot wait
💖
Varuo it's beautiful, it's magic for the night
chanelnadia same here!
chanelnadia same with myself. I’ve been very tired and it take my mind to its quite very place.
Still one of the most magical albums of Sigur Rós I think
"()" is a master piece
It is too.
For sure! I love it! Regards from Brazil.
It will be hard to do a better one :)
SpisUchmich i found this amazing artists today; do they still do music?
Was not having a good day today at all. I realized that someone I deeply cared for never really had any empathy at all, and is genuinely a selfish person, who never looks outside of themself. This album is helping me deal with the stew of emotions I have churning inside of me right now.
I saw them in Melbourne with my daughter. It was the most spiritual thing that happened to me all year, and to watch her watch them, in rapture, made me realise what a gift they are to all people
Lemme smash
It was one year since I was in Europe 2012, autumn, I felt alone on the winter away from my family and friends.. This album reminded me places in my heart I've forgotten, I don't understand much of the lyrics but music and love are universal, aren't they?
They are!
I have all there albums. I dont understand what they are saying. It's the music and the instruments. It's how they make it. Its brilliant.
Look for me on facebk, Eduard Eddy
They don’t say anything just play with diferent sounds ✌️
Deep love from India. Bow down to the best music project on the planet.
I keep coming back to this album year after year. Life is so hard, it hurts.
This music definitely helps smooth out the rough parts of life. Don't give up!
♡♡♡
🤍
I always cry to this album. It reminds me of an innoccent time of my childhood
Si las auroras boreales tuvieran sonidos, indefectiblemente sonarían así ❤❤
My heart cries when I listen. Sweet melancholy. Angels and faeries whispering love and support into my ears.
💛
Still the best album ever by them to me. I know every single track by heart and i'm not even sorry. A masterpiece
Same, what a lovely hidden gem that we can quietly cherish for the rest of our lives
The best with Aegatys Byrjun ! :)
Ah le morceau Njosnavelin ... j'ai connu Sigur ROS grace à Vanilla Sky lol
so knowing tracks by heart is something prohibited? if not i cannot understand why u use "im not EVEN sorry" no sense
The most underrated Sigur Ros album, it's a shame this doesn't get the props their other albums get
George W Kush With a buzz is their most underrated imo. People usually hate on that album. They are both amazing albums though.
With a buzz is actually Josh from Twenty One Pilot's favorite album. He says it in a video somewhere on KZhead...
Yeah - I rate it as merely the 3rd greatest album of all time, all genres - behind Takk and (_).
The problem is Takk is the greatest album of all time
i also love () a lot. it's the only album which they created their own recording studio for
This album is one of the best in history.
"Ekki múkk" is a masterpiece!
It certainly is!
My favorite too :')
@@nicolaimarquez3055 great!!!
Tu é BR?
"Varúð" still emits so much emotion. Just has such an awe-inspiring feeling too it. As does this entire album, what a masterpiece so many people have slept on. 💖
It's one of my faves too!
i was JUST thinking the same thing. it is so incredibly powerful
INDI [NEW EP OUT NOW] great music video for this song too!
I have no doubt: this is the best music, the world has ever seen
There are no words to describe how I'm feeling listening to this, only that I'm in awe as tears roll down my cheeks.
this album will last forever. it will be a signpost of our humanity for people living in 2050 and beyond.
duncan w craig one can only hope for such a blessing.
One of the favorite bands, so it's a pity that not so many people know about these songs! I would like the whole world to hear this (
Not everybody can appreciate the delicate taste of experimenting such ear voluptuousness.
Bone-chillingly beautiful album by an amazing band from an extraordinary country. Love Sigur Rós and Iceland and I can't help but weep reminiscing of my time there alone on the ring road in my rental car.
It’s beautiful as well as fortuitous encounter of a dessert spoon soaked in chocolate and a plasticised bottle on the edge of a heath devastated following a succession of inclement weather caused by a depression coming from Northern Europe !
Did the bus ring road (2014) for a month.
I play this when I lead my young students in stretching and accessing their chi. Then, we've made a "Cheer line" with two lines of students facing each other and in the space between, one student at a time walks down the center as everyone focuses on them and cheers. It's a beautiful, loving, life affirming moment. ❤ This music really welcomes the magic.
Introverts worst nightmare
LOL why not just get them to cheer for themselves?
LOL
Sounds all nice and positive, but... I hear that's also a favourite tactic of MLM's to get people emotionally invested.
Happiness to be sad
I first listened to this album in June 2015 at sunrise after doing an all nighter on my final project for Uni (which had to be handed in that morning). It was a completely beautiful way to start the day and felt otherworldly due to my lack of sleep.
gracias sigus rús por magnifico regalo me hace desconectarme por un momento de la cruda realida saludos desde #ElSalvador
Going to see them live here in Melbourne Australia in a couple of weeks . Can’t wait . Love all their albums . Best band of this century. No idea what the songs are about but who cares , it’s like angels singing , and the music is just perfect 😍.
This music speaks to a place in my soul I never knew existed until now.
Occasionally I love to go trail running in forests early in the mornings and I’ll listen to this album. It becomes some sort of spiritual journey when the rising sun’s rays are piercing through the trees. Love it
“Varúð” was the very first song from this band I ever heard, and it captivated me in such a way that I fell so deeply in love with them. Since that first listen, I have never looked back.
I won’t never forget the first time I’ve heard and saw them, here in Brazil. Year of 1999, a jazz festival. Until nowadays.. I can’t describe what happened on that moment. But it moved destiny to another way.. including to visit Iceland. Many thanks 🙏 Sigur Rós!
Having finished it, I still can't believe how beautiful and perfectly made this album is, never heard of post-rock or Sigur Ros before, but I'm glad I found them, years may pass but this is going to be one of my favs for the rest of my life.
There is no other band like Sigur Ros- they are unparalleled, unique and amazing. Jonsi is pure magic.
this album makes me cry
Guard your heart.
Not alone bro
Weird ?! it does not matter to me !!
Much of their stuff brings tears to my eyes. At their recent Hammersmith concert it was all I could do to hold them in :-)
Me too.
The last piano always make me cry, reminded me how lonely I am
i am sorry I miss noah
This was the last song Kjartan (pianist) did before he left sadly. Maybe he left that loneliness behind to be with his new family.
Sorry
I agree, the last piece is the most heart dropping
Love All your album Touch my heart greetings from Cyprus❤️🇨🇾🎼
Just saw them live tonight in Philadelphia...Mind blown...the level of talent and technology...BEST CONCERT CATEGORY...
Theo Stieve I saw them last year at the Hollywood Bowl on September 24, 2016. It was my first time seeing them live, I'd been waiting three years to see them live. Absolutely amazing.
Still my all-time favorite album. Just as emotional and magical as it was five years ago. Thanks ❤️
Valtari=Roller, in Lockdown COVID-19 climate, feels like we are rolled over by Time, and other galactic powers. Listening to this everyday
It is also the name of a very strong alcoholic drink, the effect comes on slowly but quite heavy. I could use one every now and again.
My english professor suggested I check these guys out. She said they're the only artist she can listen to while writing and not get distracted.
Look for me on facebk, Eduard Eddy
I love all the Sigur Ros albums, but this one is as necessary for life as breathing.
Being Sigur Ros fan since 2013 and seen them live on 3 occasions, I feel their music brings transcendence to my soul.
I don't get why this doesn't get the love that their earlier albums do. It's so beautiful.
mac c. I think some people enjoy the more built up songs with huge crescendos, this one's a bit more stripped back and ambient. Regardless I love all aspects of Sigur Ros.
It gets it from me, certainly.
They simplified their music too much. Previously, there was Sigur Ros and that was it. Now there are other bands capable of making this kind of music.
I used to absolutely worship this band, but nowadays it all just sounds the same and I´m bored very quickly. I don´t even listen to Sigur Ros any more. Shame.
It’s so beautiful, there almost aren’t words. I could cry.
I may not be part of THAT class with The Professor, but I'm saving this just so I could listen to it when I go outside😊
The ending to Dauðalogn is incredibly touching.
I love it so much
one of the most under-appreciated artists
I love every song in this album, this is the type of music that is rare to find and very few people knows of... Its nice to find more persons who also like it
This was the first Sigur Ros album I ever heard. I got here because of it's Alway Sunny in Philadelphia. I have listened solely to Sigur Ros as background music while I worked from home for the past 2 years and now I have tickets to see them LIVE!! I am losing my mind!!
Life changing show for me. Absolutely incredible live band.
OMG! They were so good last night in Boston. Nearly all of the ( ) album and a lot, lot more! Festival, Sven-g-englar, ekki mukk, Saeglopur, I have had the closing Popplagid in my head all day! Amazing show. And the vocals, instrumentation, and performance were absolute perfection! So privileged that I got to be there! I had to re-watch that It's Always Sunny episode today!
This album has a special place in my heart. Then again, so do all of their other albums. Most amazing music I have ever heard.
exactly
I was sort of maxxed-out on Sigur Ros when this album orignally came out and never gave it a fair listen. Just saw them live a few weeks ago in TO and some of the most memorable moments from the concert were when they play tracks off this album, so I've been relistening and discovering all the gems that were almost lost to me. Big Hearts to all.
just came across Varud and I knew I had to find more of your music. my heart is at such peace after so much turmoil in the past few hours. I didn't qualify for my Maths exam and I've been so stressed out. but listening to your music has put me at such ease, it's incredible.
Ouvir Sigur Rós é certeza que a minha bebê vai relaxar/ dormir. Aqui em casa todos nós adoramos 😍
É bom demais!
love it. This one is only CD I have in my car.
C what?!
i am sorry
This album came out when I was with someone special. We saw the film festival and then saw them live a few months later. One of the most powerful shows I’ve ever seen.
My first listening to someone/band I haven't heard of before. Very moving, excellent.
Dave Hays I highly recommend this band's other work. True masterpieces.
Dave Hays- same here!
This is my emotional muse for writing. So many emotions run through every chord. Sigur Røs are truly masters of their craft.
Cleansing of the mind when listening to this album.
I just cried my eyes out to the latter half of this album while thinking about helping people with directions on the streets of New York City and photographing the moment two middle aged women meet on the corner of Delancy and Essex.
Look for me on facebk, Eduard Eddy
when i was younger i fell in love inside a theatre, i became a creator , after a while when i conquered what was for me i lost myself and fought waves and seas and mountains i am still here, now i remember, i can exist where i existed and where i stopped existing. life is so strange it makes my cry
Every single day I play this álbum on KZhead.. Moments of peace and to think about my life.
This album really knocked me out and it was quite an ally.
I feel like a lot of people with anxiety love this music it's really calming like want to listen to the whole thing but it helps me sleep and I have like the best naps.
I thought i can use this album to help me fall asleep but It makes me awake and listed to it all
I honesly don't give a f**k what Sigur Ros fans or critics may or may not say about this album. It's so beautiful and calm-inducing it almost makes me cry
Haven't listened to this in awhile ... really needed it today; helped me clear some negative energy. Also, my cats like this album =^..^= ... or maybe they like how it calms me; brings me peace.
it makes me so melancholic......so many memories....MAGICAL pieces of music
what is it about the music that makes u melancholic?
