I hate when I show my friends something as beautiful as this and they automatically discredit it because they don't like that it doesn't have words or a beat. It really saddens me. This song has made me cry at least twice and... I want them to be able to experience that.

I took a music theory class in college and we were assigned with bringing in a song that we felt represented us. The day came and we started presenting our songs. Everyone seemed lethargic and we played 30 seconds of each person's song. Popular songs, cultural songs, poppy songs from people's childhood. I felt like I made a mistake because this song was not similar to their selections. We played about 20 songs before it was my turn. I walked up and only a few people were even paying attention... but when the song started. Everyone's came to attention, they were all focused in their own way on the song. We were only supposed to listen to 30 seconds but the whole song played all the way through. They decided not to stop it and when it was finished Everyone in the class was just staring at each other. My teacher asked me why I picked this song and everyone in the class was waiting for an answer. Sometimes people don't even know how to experience these things, they just don't know.

My girlfriend and I were in a car accident on the last day of grade 12 in June, I came out with scratches, but she died on scene. This song was played at her funeral for her eulogy. There was a note she had in her diary saying how she loved Ólafur and how beautiful she thought his music was. She would listen to him while sketching things and writing personal notes. I miss her more than anything, she was truly as beautiful as this music.

i love Olafur. Pure spirit. His songs will give you visions, give you stories, and epiphanies. This song is a love story of a reunion. It begins in a sorrowful note, lovers in separation, then it builds up, the guy slowly comes around, then when the drums starts banging, the guy is already released from his demons, he's now on his way to his lover, he's walking, riding the bus, as all his memories fly by him. Then, at the last 30 seconds, he finds the meeting place, and sees her there. They slowly approach each other, their eyes quivering, cloudy; his hands start running her hair. they are in tears and smiles. end.

First listened to this amazing track in 2011. It was my favourite instrumental back then. I used to listening to this one almost every night during the winter season. Those were the days! With time, i forgot this one. My phone changed, so too my music library. Today, out of nowhere this track comes to my mind. I even forgot its name. I just remembered it was composed by an Icelandic musician, and its name was in numbers- four digits. After some googling, i found this. Pure bliss❤️

En el 2010 falleció mi papá de cáncer después de luchar casi un año con esa enfermedad. Y en ese tiempo (2009) este disco fue como una banda sonora. Desde la primera canción hasta la última me recordaba momentos que pasamos o me imaginaba situaciones con mi papá mientras sonaba X canción del disco. Sin dudas fue una larga despedida que fue musicalizada por Olafur y esto se lo agradezco a Dios.

Although beginning in a spiral of darkness, 1:40 is where the song begins to catch a glimmer of hope. The album title "Eulogy for Evolution," is a dark title which possibly resembles the hopelessness of humanity, yet scattered throughout his music is signs of hope. Olafur is incredible at showing reality: the fact we're not in good shape, but the hope for the future.
