[@JKShred]

Always coming back to this song after so many years. The ambience is just beautiful

[@DasOhneEnde]

yes mate me too :), reminds me on a special girl *sad smile

[@ABlackula]

@@DasOhneEnde ja, mir auch, bruh ;(

[@VELIKOLEPTURA]

In my opinion, the very BEST take of Fjara

[@oliverjohn5566]

It will never be replayed like this!

[@AlessandroRodriguesPh]

One of those songs that make the soul "leaving the body" ... mystical.

[@EddieContrario07]

👍🙌

[@jonaskarlsson8732]

This song is when i take back my mother from spain to sweden ....i made it thro christamas and new years eve ....

[@lpucci]

how does something this incredible have 38,000 views and some auto-tuned bullshit song gets millions and millions of views? No matter...I'm going to wear this link out. Pure talent!

[@Flugkaninchen]

It's only natural. A flower attracts far less butterflies than a pile of shit attracts flies. ;)

[@leaksson93]

Flugkaninchen we should save Flugs quote in history books :D

[@EddieContrario07]

Algunas de las cosas más brillantes no lustran en un mundo de opacos...

[@ruthgranz4634]

This is such a great song, that it doesn't bother me that I do not understand a single word.Amazing band.I didn't know them before.

[@Nepomniachtchi_Austin]

It is a good song. Bright English on start, but still sad. Dragging your own weight without help ks hart

[@TheMorous]

i love how this band evolved from black metal to their orginal styl

[@Arpia-Hellas]

is better to kick out yourself from kicking you out the crowd

[@OuterHeaven182]

I had no idea, how great they sound live. The guitars is so organic! Great performance.

[@zombiespacebat]

For everyone asking why they can hear the piano but not see it, if you watch at the very end the drummer picks up an ipod and stops it, so we can assume the keys are on a backing track.

[@JenocideDoll]

I love this band so much, this is my favorite song by them.

[@crysvicious]

Me too

[@smaulee]

1:29 that guy on the audience

[@miinoshermetico9455]

hahahahahah

[@raquelsanjose8504]

i scrolled downt to the comments just to read someone mentioning that guy XD

[@nadaesverdad4817]

jaa demasiado volumen

[@Doomgutt]

Honestly, I’d say that’s quite an appropriate face for how their music makes me feel, in a good way ofc.

[@bartni]

actually when you have problems with your ears and still want to enjoy some gigs it's the only way to listen to it

[@xDavidxblap]

PQP essa musica é muito boa, da um joinha os BRs !!!

[@claudiosam73]

David Campos É bom fugir das bandas de sempre, as bandas Nórdicas são muito boas mesmo, na Alemanha, Suécia, Holanda tem bandas ótimas, que cantam em seus idiomas nativos.

Þetta er það lengsta sem ég fer Aldrei aftur samur maður er Ljóta leiðin heillar nú á ný Daginn sem ég lífið aftur flý Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn Er það samt dauði minn Trú mín er, að allt fari vel Þessu er lokið hjá mér Dag sem nótt, hljóðið var svo rótt Þrotið þol, lamað bros Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn Grafin bein grotna í jörðunni Eins og leyndarmálin þín Sem þú hélst forðum burt frá mér En blóðið þyngr'en þögnin er Svikin orð, grjót í kjafti þér Rista dýpra en nokkur sár Brotin bönd aldrei verða söm Lygar eins og nöðrubit Þetta er það lengsta sem ég fer Aldrei aftur samur maður er Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn Er það samt dauði minn Trú mín er, að allt fari vel Þessu er lokið hjá mér Dag sem nótt, hjartað var órótt Þrotið þol, lamað bros Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn Er það samt dauði minn Trú mín er, að allt fari vel Þessu er lokið hjá mér Dag sem nótt, hjartað var órótt Þrotið þol, lamað bros Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn

[@vamplord1994]

Just heard this song again, went straight to my cd cabinet to take my Svartir Sandar album to listen it again and again and again and again.. Solstafir is so fricking good!!

[@Chad_Fuckhammer]

And just like that Seattle Freeze was melted

[@FERDINANDVSLVCIVS]

This whole album was breathtaking! Wish you guys would record more stuff like this. Introspective, melancholic, mysterious...

[@factumDiabolus]

As far as guitar strap length goes...dude makes James Hetfield look like Paul McCartney.

[@minzuhar2282]

that!

[@ArbolCaido999]

prazen ?

[@RecorriendoElCielo]

Actually Hetfield is at the same level that Paul M lol

[@unseenmasamune7007]

[@vanzuniga7648]

Demasiado bueno ❤

I love this song ❤❤❤

Não entendo nada o que ele canta mais me parece profundo, música muito boa digna de reconhecimento.

[@pp1limo271]

Fjara = Praia Este é o mais longe que eu irei Nunca mais serei a mesma pessoa Horríveis encantos me atraiam No dia em que corria para a vida novamente Se eu ganhar desta vez Ainda vai ser o meu fim Minha crença é de que nada acaba bem Este é o fim para mim Dia e noite meu coração esteve pesado Desejos destruídos, sorrisos congelados Eu continuo, meu coração bombeando lágrimas Dia e noite eu andei sozinho Ossos apodrecendo na terra Como os seus segredos Que há muito tempo tem escondido de mim Mas o sangue pesa mais que o silêncio Palavras destruídas, fragmentos em sua boca Corte mais profundo do que qualquer ferida Laços quebrados nunca serão os mesmos Mentiras são como a picada de uma víbora

[@firkinfright5168]

Week 13 of 2021, still at home due to covid. Totally feeling the drummer of this band! No clue what the F is going on. But heck yeah, I got the rhythm so am gonna beat the living hell out of it until I drop!

[@TheMetalrock666]

une chanson qui se déguste comme le meilleur millésime!

[@666mESa]

Alors là je suis sur le cul. La seconde d'avant je me suis écouté "les dingues et les paumés" en live de HFT. Et j'y es vu un de tes commentaires. et là, chanson complètement différente, mais tu es là toi aussi. Respect pour tes goûts musicaux ;)

Its like riders on the storm, but Icelandic version 🤗

Guðmundur Óli Pálmason (Gummi) needs to come back. What you, Sólstafir, did to him is inhuman!

[@ukeluv-amorukulelistico4403]

There is a statement from him about his forced absense from Sólstafir: solstafirofficial.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/statement-about-my-forced-absence-from-solstafir/

[@crysvicious]

They're still awesome without him It wasn't all just them Just saying

[@idepowas3329]

Mother Earth won’t forgive

[@ArinmarDeKaldenoc]

With knowledge of one side of the medal u cannot judge about the true nature of it, so stop doing it!

[@leandro5221]

I think the same, at least would be nice that they managed the situation differently, Gummi gave his life for the band

[@bandabroken1523]

ESSA BANDA E OTIMA EU QUERO VE-LOS NO BRASIL

[@ChaoZzzTrooper]

So haunting

[@brendennlove]

DAMN!! I like this version even better than the album version! These guys are fuckin spookie unique!!!

[@TheSBL1990]

This is the furthest I will go. Never the same again. The vile path calling me, the day I ran from life again. If I win this one time, it will still be the end of me. My belief that nothing ends well. This is the end for me. Day and night heart was uneased. Broken will frozen smile. Riding on, heart pumping tears. Day and night I walk alone. Bones rotting in the earth, like your secrets that you long kept from me. But blood weighs more than silence.

[@rumyad7483]

I love this song, but in the studio version, the singer sings an octave higher, which to me emphasizes better the fragility expressed in the lyrics. Maybe it's harder to sing that high, but to me it's kind of an important part of the song.
