First time hearing Sigur Rós in 1999

[@saddad6601]

Sigur Rós will reach in to the depths of your soul and drag out that one tear that’s been hiding behind your kidney, They make you cry but you don’t even know what you’re crying about. You just know you must have needed it.

[@user-rb6xu2pn7j]

Sigur Ros almost makes me religious.

[@princealbertz]

First time I heard them was in 2005 when I was going through some hard times after graduating high school. I recently came out and back then looking at that year it wasn’t quite acceptable compared to today.

[@Jesse__H]

This is very well put. I feel this way sometimes when listening to them too.

[@jillferry-williams9409]

I was expecting him to say, “No. It’s because it’s their own language they invented.” I first heard Sigur Rós about 8 months ago, and then saw them live in Austin. I was utterly gutted. A guy sitting next to me looks over with tears streaming down his cheeks and just did the “yeah..you get it.” nod. Just…stunning.

[@scolby2727]

Yes! I was unable to compose myself at my first show. My friend looked at me and said “you gotta get your shit together!” (It was amazing). ❤

[@FVCK-]

me too, but this song is actually in Icelandic

[@jillferry-williams9409]

@@FVCK- Ahhhh. Thank you! TIL! My boyfriend told me they sang in both their own language, as well as their “own” language. 😊

[@FVCK-]

@@jillferry-williams9409 absolutely! They sing some songs in their native Icelandic and some songs in the made up language called “hopelandic” which basically just came about when Jonśi would write music before he had lyrics written and just sort of hum words, but it sounded nice so they just went with it. If you don’t speak Icelandic it’s easy to just think that all the songs are in hopelandic but if you understand Icelandic you can easily tell which songs they actually wrote real lyrics for. This particular song was written in actual Icelandic. :)

[@joaopedrooliveiracunha9722]

It describes exactly what Sigur Ros songs feel like hahah. Amazing. 👏❤

I was bit late when I got into Sigur Rós. I first heard this song on Life Aquatic the legend of Steve Zizu. This song brought me to tears. I was going through a rough time then

[@_Arugula_Salad_]

That scene gives me a good cry sometimes. Great film!

[@akaperiquita]

Yes. One of my favorite bands ever. Every single time i feel like that.

[@thebusinesswoman23]

One of my all time favorite bands. Heard them first when I was around 13 and never let go because there is nothing else quite like them.

[@lucymel]

It's exactly what I feel with all Sigur Rós music! So deep in my soul 🖤

[@kennypowers7759]

I wish I could discover them all over again

[@spooders8424]

That first time listening to hoppipilla hits better than an early morning bong rip

[@pamelaloman6271]

First time I heard Sigur Rós was the song in the movie Vanilla Sky.

[@GalacticShieldMaiden]

Deeply soul penetrating music……. I am so grateful for this truly divine music…… Sigur Ros, Please don’t ever stop doing what no other musician(s) can do. You have always been absolutely brilliant & continue to remain so…………🙏🏻🕊💫♾️🕊🙏🏻

[@peaceofpiety]

The feels... thank you for showing your appreciation for music. The way you describe music is the way I describe home, which to me is a place of consciousness born from within the frequencies of sound. We all have a love for one thing in common, no matter who we are, the one thing we can never forget even when dimentia is present, there is always one love; music.

[@dylanwenz8112]

I started listening to Sigur Rós in 2003 and I think it’s the reason why I have such a deep connection with music. I was born in 2003.

[@saxon6749]

My favorite band of all time!

[@anthonydiaz2185]

Literally this. I loved it as a teen. I'm gettimg back to it now.

[@meetghelani5222]

Hearing sigur rós everytime is just a great experience of life.

[@behindyou666]

Sigur Ros holds a very special place in my heart, my dream since I was 14 has been to see them live.

[@_notFBI]

This is so true, their music is simply magical!

[@kcervino]

Only heard them for the first time a few weeks ago and was mesmerised completely. ❤

[@moseslv2529]

This is legendary!!

[@andrewarato696]

Once you find the song and listen to it and come back, it hits even harder.

[@ELofW]

Excellent production

[@CosmicTraveler-42]

Perfect description

[@blapradur]

Sigur rós is my fav band :D🇮🇸🇫🇮

[@chrishobbick]

@JacobGivens we are kindred spirits. Great music, great video production, great analogies and great facial expressions

[@Cosmoborracho]

Saw Sigur Rós at Bonnaroo and hardly knew them beforehand. I've never cried so much in my life, it was absolutely breathtakingly euphoric. Sigurd Rós: still cheaper than therapy! 😎

[@Ethawa]

I wish I could write poetry the way this makes people feel. ❤

[@li7849]

I remember my ex bought me this album and while he was easy to forget, that album never will be. ❤

[@Sabitsuki-Rust]

I literally cried so much, I can’t even win the “Try not to cry” challenge. I’m such a different person and Staralfur is such a beautiful song.

[@dontinsultmyprevioushandle]

I did won the challenge

[@stevenhetzel6483]

Intro sounded like Windows Startup music having a fit.

[@dalegribble01]

Man thank you brother your taste in music is impeccable. I've gained so many good songs from your vids.

[@Pegleg1979]

I worked at a Sam Goody when this record came out and I played it in the store often to mixed results. People were either amazed or they absolutely hated it. This album is still very much in my regular rotation.

[@Me-th3gj]

I was today years old when I heard Sigur Rós.

[@JohnKerans]

My first experience of sogur ros was when someone linked the video to glosoli on a message board i was on. Amazing video

[@jenniferh.2150]

Glósóli was a shooting star you got to ride into the promise of every wish you ever had.

[@Gwensarah]

1997 gave me turning 21, Mew and Sigur Rós with the added bonus of the members of both bands also being my age. That particular album captures being in one’s early 20’s with anything and everything possible, it was definitely adulthood’s ágætis byrjun 😏

[@malorietaylor4637]

This deserves so much more hype lol

[@arininquotes8396]

[@_Arugula_Salad_]

Bravo, great video mate!

[@hasongraham8674]

I bougt an import of this in early 2001 and I think it was released later that year in my home country. Pretty sure it was only released in iceland in 1999 so few if any people had that experience outside of iceland.

[@TantersD3]

Personally, I preferred the harder bass of björk, 'Human Behaviour' 😍 But, I get _exactly_ what you mean Icelandic music just hits different. 💕

[@mdavidhuffman9351]

Oh man!thanks for the laugh!😅

[@ReadyMindsetGo]

I still find it unbelievable that this came out in 1999.. I only discovered it around 2010, 2011 I think.. but I guess it's the same for most (what I would call) post-rock and post-metal, ie Mogwai, GY!BE, EITS, Isis, Neurosis etc...

[@illitero]

Very first time I ever heard Sigur Rós was at a friend's house. It was mid-day and I'd just arrived after a 2.5 hour drive. He and I were chatting as his playlists were going in the background. I have no clue what song it was, I just suddenly became exceedingly aware of what was coming out of the speakers. "She needs to chill the fuck out," I said in exaggerated agitation in an attempt to diffuse my actual agitation at the grating noise. My friend laughed and gave some info as he walked over to turn it down a bit. I still don't listen to them despite most of the sonic palette being up my alley. The End.

[@daniloholtz845]
