Ólafur Arnalds - Ljósið (Official Music Video)

[@secretrose5439]

I'm listening to this while my parents are fighting downstairs. It gives me a sense of comfort.

[@pypersora8690]

secret rose i think youve just given me my gcse dance theme thankyou so much for commenting this

[@0vahdaneh0]

though you comnented about a year go... yet, i wish you get through life fine.

[@austinthaijam7009]

my parents fought often too. It must be scary for you to hear them argue. Hope you have someone you trust that you can talk to. those emotions can be hard to process alone. happy you know the power of music to comfort

[@ivanm.r.7363]

[@ursusmaritimus2791]

Hold on. You'll live your life when the time comes.

[@jrasflusba]

love this song. it's like being in a warm and comfortable bathtub

[@gergelyadamhorvai3020]

idk, thinking of whales maybe :P

[@Delicate_Elephant]

@@gergelyadamhorvai3020 Like I'm with a whale, travelling La Seine in Paris, but I end up in a bathtub and speakers playing this music. What a way to capture a perfect bath time.

[@alexandervanspijk2312]

The composer is deep and most importantly humorous - I guess he would love these comments and yours espec..@@Delicate_Elephant

[@UnframedAnimation]

This song reminds me of my mom, she loved this song very much. May peace be upon her. Thanks for creating such a beautiful song.

[@savannahisrael8408]

It's a dance between two lives, one consistent and one passionate. First alone, but not lacking, just there. Then twirling with utter wholeness with the violins added in. It tells a story if you look at it that way

[@flowerlana8293]

❣️Beautifully, ✍️❣️💜💙🧡💛💚

[@devonmcgarr6825]

I heard this song when I was a kid, and I just cried and smiled. I love this song

[@klarahavlikova8880]

i ve been looking for this song for 5 years! oh god... my heart is melting

[@MahoganySessions]

beautiful on a lot of levels

[@Eikosiepta_]

10 years later, still as beautiful. Captures its memories so well-

[@Maria_O888]

This is truly a gift and so eloquently composed

[@MonkeyRecords]

Last FM introduced me to Olafur Arnalds - beautiful stuff!

[@nerissarazz1489]

I saw olafur perform live last night, and it was the most incredible experience. It was absolutely beautiful if you ever get the chance to see him live, then do it !

[@samirafterone]

Simple things are the most beautiful. And it is so much beauty in the world...

[@samirafterone]

the tenderness of the soul...

[@MY-se4nc]

I have to say this bathtub song is one of my favorite! Went to the live concert in Amsterdam it was amazing!

[@twpoptravel]

A decade later and I still keep coming back

[@hoorayforhipppos]

This song is so beautiful. It makes me feel like I'm floating away in the clouds.

[@andyb1336]

If someone asks me for something redeemable in humanity, music is the only pure and real thing I can think of.

[@danielking1695]

Andy B Hmm, what about Ghandi, or the people out their fighting for their freedom?

[@andyb1336]

Daniel King Self interested.

[@fedas15]

Andy B Because creating sound vibrations for ourselves to listen to *isn't* self interest.

[@andyb1336]

Fedas it's more than that, it's expression

[@fedas15]

Andy B Nazis committing genocide against an entire race of people is also a form of expression.

[@twinboss16parker97]

Ever since the release of this song my father has always played it. I never thought much of it but going back and listening to this song has awakened memories I never new existed. This song has so much power in each note that it comforts me through the hardships in life. Truly a amazing song.

[@AlexandraPoteleanu]

bathtubs. inspiring songwriters since 3300 BC.

[@sebitealeaf5207]

this song has helped me when I struggled with anxiety a lot, it always helped me through panic attacks and general stress. I want to get the title tattooed with a semicolon to always remember that little bit of light

[@TubaGirl01]

I opened this video up just to listen to the music and not for the video itself but when it started I couldn't look away, it's a piece of art in itself.

[@drewbrockbaker]

I was 19 when I first heard this. Still means the same today. Music is timeless

[@Captainreynolds1]

Whenever most people say the word "music" It brings thoughts of beats, lyrics, catchy tunes and crowds of cheering people. but not with me. when i think of music, i think of a special, warm feeling growing inside of you, creating happiness through melody and beauty. This song is music. and it creates warmth in my soul.

[@mtmsmilenow]

Bravo, bravo, maravilloso, toca mi corazón, amo el metal, pero también lo clasico y este tipo de musica tan llena de sentimientos y emociones.

[@hailqueensatan]

I'm in awe. The whole song just felt like a hug, and a whisper that everything was going to be okay.

[@christianquiocho9692]

You know...sometimes I feel like -- I was born with a leak..and, any goodness I started with just -- slowly spilled out of me...now it's all gone...and I'll never get it back in me... Life is a series of closing doors, isn't it?

[@markosminkin1139]

+Chris Quiocho It is, but let's not forget that it is also full other doors, ones that opens right in front of you, like opportunities, if you choose to look at them. I have once heard: when something ends, something else begins. Farewell

[@sssophie9292]

Think of it as a series of revolving doors. You go round and round in one, then move onto another. You can always have a fresh start :) 🌱

[@SwagmasterG]

No. Life is a giant canvas. You may percieve the picture as a closed, door, but you musn't forget that no matter how hard it seems, you can always paint over it.

[@Tetzerx]

Think of yourself as a lone cloud. Sure, you end up leaking out all the substance within you, but you also are able to slowly regain it again. In time, you will fill full again, only to repeat the cycle. Find solace in knowing that each phase is only temporary.

[@manali173]

maybe you leak goodness so those around you who are in need absorb your gift.

[@AagyaPradhanang]

How just gentle strokes of piano and weeping violin can just be a perfect combination!!!

[@tommartin8129]

not as you

[@carlosfelipe.rodriguez]

I just learned from your performance at the Sydney Opera House (SOH) that you made this song for a bathtub commercial. It doesn't matter the inspiration or if you have played thousand of times, it is a beautiful song, keep playing it in different environments. The SOH performance was amazing. Takk for your music!

[@krike13]

I cried, thank you. I love this song!

[@KellySilversmith]

So beautiful. I'm CRYING right now

[@rudi.delange]

If I could have a visualization for Winamp looking like that I would be so happy. Wow.

[@MarcFilmer]

What a beautifully muted piano tone. Piano and strings are such a match made in heaven. The emotive power of simplicity never fails to impress me.

[@upesupernova]

This song reminds me of bathtubs

[@aitzmerlimohamed4097]

So confused by the weird bathtub comments lol WHERE?

[@majahill1125]

Listen to the kexp concert version if you want the full explanation

[@babyhedz]

I'd buy a Icelandic vintage luxury bathtub on the strength of this beautiful elegant tune ^_^

[@pete2sash]

This should be teamed up with some Raymond Briggs animation ...

[@eee186]

I'm still loving this soooo much. Leaves me so warm.

Get clean.

[@XSemperIdem5]

And swim with whales too? 😂

[@Xxkandykilla]

i don’t remember writing this

This is the only song that could make me smile, cry, laugh, and thinking about life at the same time. God, Olafur is a genius.

[@riggenbachi]

i'm crying. thanks

[@majomizger3449]

How the most beautifull feellings can be decoded, with no need of words, just in sounds like these. This song thouches the deepest part of mi memories...it just touched my soul...what a sensitive artist and angelical composer

[@RiztiKhairinnisa89]

What kind of bath up has this beautiful sound?

[@NigeRossAtFeijoaSoftware]

At exactly the 40sec mark, this brought tears to my eyes for some reason. What an amazing piece of music with such a simple visualisation.

[@KakoiDedikuSan]

It's amazing what the notes in music can create in the human soul. The fifth "unknown" element of relating without words or exchange...it just is. Choral and chamber music can also have the same [intentional] affect.

[@AngelaScalabrino18]

stupendo.....

[@yestfl]

I discovered this song when it just had a few dozen views. I listen to it every now and then, but wow 1.5 million views is amazing. Great job Mr. Arnalds, please continue to make amazing music.

This song is so incredibly wonderful, calming and soo touching.. I really love all of your work Olafur..You're amazing..! I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia". If you've got time, listen to their "New album teaser". Some of the most breathtaking music I heard since a long time.. Don't get me wrong..I don't want to spam, but I just think that good music needs to be shared..

[@therisinghope]

Well, actially, this has been done before. You can even download the code en execute it for yourself. (my advise). It eunfolds it`s beauty, when the code is calculated in real time and your screen gives you the most of it, without any encoding related rediction on sound and video. (Go at least, for 1080 resolution anything else spoils so much of it. Execute it yourself, if your maschine can take it.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHTTinturql-bsk Demo download! www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=53950

Cela me fait imaginer des paysages paisibles et magnifiques, la liberté des oiseaux et la paix. Merci

[@FauzaSari]

sad, very sad song

[@atreju_cv]

It's a special kind of sadness which isn't that sad. The sadness is caused by our (illusional?) feeling of beeing seperated from (our own) divinity. It's amongst the highest, purest songs I know of. So in the end it's not sad at all. It's unspeakable good piece of music. Thank you so much for it, Ólafur.

[@firebrain2991]

It's more lonely than sad, but it's a peaceful loneliness.

[@FauzaSari]

That's what I feel too..

[@Humr666]

It's the feeling when you can't buy a new luxurious bathtub.
