I am a year too late. This "reaction" is a testament to a fine man hearing a beautiful thing

Sigur ros is that sort of dangerously sentimental music that makes you feel to much at the same time. Its amazing. I cant not cry while listening to them. Or anything from Jonsi for that matter

This whole album ( ) is perfection. It's so balanced. You can feel the emotions running through you. The beginning, this beginning, the building up from warmth to happiness to energy, the second half of the album contrasting with sadness, depression, anger to energy once again. It's perfect to listen to in one go once you are in the mood for it. And I think you will love a lot their works

Perfection, yes!!

I had read about Sigur Ros shortly after this CD was released. I was intrigued, bought this CD and so this was also the first Sigur Ros track I ever heard. This began a journey I'm still traveling. a lifelong musician (in the classical field) I have never been hit so hard viscerally by sound. I have always felt that great music unites us all in our common humanity. Sigur Ros takes that to a point where I feel like my personal humanness is laid bare. Listening to their music has opened up avenues for me I never even knew existed. Thank you for your reactions and thank you Sigur Ros for the numerous gifts you have given me.

Towards the end of the song when it began to build up, I saw parts of my childhood flash from bits to bits ... it’s crazy what a song can do . Goosebumps every time

Everytime I listen to this the lyrics at the end for me are "You shine on us"... Isn't it just ethereal beauty.

I've seen them live 3 times, best concert experience i've ever had

I've always said that the first time I heard sigur ros was like someone hacked my soul, my every longing... I've seen them live 10 times in 7 different cities in the US since 03. They still devastate me in the best ,most beautiful way. It's Jonsi burgesson, his voice and the bowed guitar take me from this world . I love your response to this song, untitled EVERYTHING. finish the album.

Im so happy i found this band few years ago. I listen to like almost every type of music. Sigur Ros music is very important to me.

I think that your first impression being "delicate" was a well chosen word. It seemed to be a melancholy tune in keeping with folks from the great white north. My first impression was that it reminded me of music designed to assist with hypnosis. It placed me in a quiet, relaxed, receptive mindset. Interesting.

Paul Helberg yeah I see that! It definitely has that sound to it!

sigur ros has the power to take u on a trip of ur own without leaving ur couch. is genius, cause it makes u bring stuff from ur own mind without telling u or giving u something to picture themselves ♥

So many songs I wouldn't listen to that you're showing me. This was art

I was able to see them live. It was amazing. Its one of those concerts you have to go to. They introduced me to Juliana barwick who was touring with them. her and jonsi have made a few songs together. Im happy i was able to see them and then get introduced to another beautiful artist.

Fun fact: hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals. It's of course not an actual language by definition (no vocabulary, grammar, etc.), it's rather a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument.

A perfect reaction to a perfect song by incredible artists. I won’t harp on about the language and interpretations etc as others have eluded to this however, please do jump down the rabbit hole and explore Sigur Ros in their entirety. Great for driving or being alone to enjoy. I’ve seen these guys live 3 times now and they are spectacular. Much like a religious experience which has been mentioned already. Brilliant reaction.

Sigur Ros has that ability to move your soul without understanding the words. Watch the Walt Disney concert hall Concert of them. The most amazing concert I have ever heard.

Still attentive while listening to any music ... great

It's a guy singing (Jonsi) and the lyrics are icelandic and gibberish mixed together - hopelandic he calls it.

Their music is so hauntingly beautiful. It takes you to what almost feels like distant reaches of the universe and to a different understanding of life and all the beauty that’s in it

Watching from Portugal, lockdown almost for a month but working from home and so glad you are listening to Sigur Rós

Adriana Gaspar same here, but 3 weeks for me! I’m glad I’m listening to them too! Thanks for commenting Adriana!

There's such a forlorn beauty in this song. Listening the artistry of Sigur Ros is nearly always an emotional experience, for me at least. And it seems like you touched that sense as well. I'd like to see you explore them more, if you care to. 'Glosoli', 'Festival', 'Hoppipola', and 'Inni mer Syngur Vitleysingur' are all great tracks to start with, I believe. In any case, I enjoyed your reaction. Subbed, and looking forward to more.

This was a lovely reaction to listen to before I go to bed :) I’ve never heard this before, and I see what you mean about the Romeo and Juliet film ( I watched it the other day.) Answering your question from the start of the video, I’ve been furloughed from work since April 1st. I’m a bit of an introvert so I’m quite enjoying a relaxed way of life and no social pressures to adhere too. I’ve also been watching a lot of KZread too, watching interviews from artists I like and live performances. Stay safe. I look forward to more videos.

Thanks for saying this Sarah! I’m glad you’re enjoying your time off but i do hope everything returns back to normal soon!

this band is just something else... and it`s coming from me, who listens to a variety of genres.

I had forgotten about this song, thank you for bringing it back to my life! I felt so much! Alive!

Every song from Sigur Ros hast a soul and makes you speachless. The Leadsinger Jonsi mostly sings in falcetto. The leanguage ist often hopelandic. Ist my favourit band since 20 years now. Please listen to all of their records. You will love every Single song. If I must pick my favourit Song it would be Saeglopur.

Your voice is really calming and it’s nice to see how emotionally you have reacted to the song. I also think your interpretation of the lyrics is quite amusing. It seems to me, as though you were already in a somewhat emotionally unstable state and the song kinda struck your inner emotional strings.

There are some real gems hidden there :D (like Olsen Olsen, or Svebn-g-englar with the amazing use of a violin bow on an electric guitar). These are great on some high-quality headphones, your whole head will vibrate pleasantly because of the music.

I always image my younger self while listening to this piece. The ending sounds like me screaming to my younger self to keep moving on and remain strong. It triggers a reminiscence of my childhood days and makes me feel emotional about the whole journey.

There's a superb mashup of Sigur Ros and Nirvana somewhere on here. Would highly recommend.

If it weren't for Cameron Crowe's version of Vanilla Sky, I would have never bought this album so many years ago

idk if youve watched any sigur ros videos, the video for this wou've put a lot more context. I think you'd really appreciate the videos they make.

You need to listen to this album in full, as well as their album Takk and Aegitis Byrjun. Their albums works the best when you listen to them from start to finish. Especially Untitled has his own atmosphere with all songs being sung in gibberish (Hopelandic).

"Achingly beautiful."

If you like this band, definitely recommend the song "Verud" (the letters used to spell the word correctly are others that I dont have on my keyboard but its basically kinda spelled similarly)

When you made the goodbye and suffering assumptions i just thought: he is so wrong and probably so right at the same time. This song radiates such grief and sadness, but such beauty. Makes me bawl everytime😢

Exactly how I felt, amazing

I hear 'you shine on us su on enish ouy' at the end. The lyrics are in a made up language called Hopelandic (am I maybe the 50th comment to mention this lol), so the lyrics are always open to interpretation. The CD pressings of the album contained blank pages where the listener could write their own meanings for each song.

So happy for you.

I've seen them live twice when I lived in CA. Each time was truly a religious experience that eclipsed any actual experience with religion and anything else artistic I've ever known.

Sigur Ros it's not only music it's a complete experimental laboratory of one AND diverse everything.... For them there's nothing imposible, none it's quite, there's not such a thing that cannot make some kind of noise, note, sound

Please listen to untitled nr.4!

You sound like me the first time I heard this tune.

Its a made up language, it's up to you to interpret whatever you feel they are saying. Some of their songs are in Icelandic but not this one.

See I only found this out AFTER I talked for a few minutes about how the lyrics were great! 😂 I think it’s fantastic that they do this! It would be interesting to see if we got, say 20 people to listen to song and write down what they all thought the lyrics were, how different they would all be?

Sigur Rós are quite big actually, but they arent mainstream hence the view counts. Check out their discography, you wont regret it. Id recommend you react to Sæglópur, Hoppípolla or Untitled 8 😊 And btw there are no lyrics in this song, its just gibberish made up by the singer. The whole ( ) album has no lyrics, only gibberish. They wanted people to be able to interpret the songs each in their own way. And the singer is a man also, his name is Jónsi 😊 Great video, very cool to see how a song can affect people in different ways. Beautiful!

Hi Tommy, I am writing from nearly two years into the future. Please don't be freaked out!!!

please please react to Tornado by Jonsi (sigur ros' singer). wont be disappointed ♥

your Sigur Ros lyrics are very similar to mine

You should watch the music video. Thought the song alone will give you all the feels? The video is just downright depressing as shit.

I usually enjoy only their album Ágætis byrjun, guess I'm still not transcended enough ;) (...and I read by the way about the sexual assault accusations about their (ex) drummer...)

It's in Islandic, don't try to find what it says in English.
