Sólstafir "Miðaftann" (official video)

[@SFS1009]

To me, this is a journey away from a depressed state, and the struggles towards the light from the darkness.

[@MohamedHannachi]

"Now I have come home After a journey on the deep seas. The wave was so high, The saltiness ate everything up. I drowned in a black hole, I pulled out the hand of death. So high, it was so high, And the moon lighted a path, yes the moon high in the sky, And the moon lighted a path, yes the moon lighted a path. So high, so high, wave of the sins, wave of the sins."

[@UlvNord789]

its so cool that some of te words of each language sound a bit simular and knowing the lyrics now give more chills then the video does on its own lol

[@Codrigher]

Da real MVP, thanks for translation.!

[@ghostlymasked4041]

so high so high all the sins .....alda syndanna = all the sins

[@bardocznekocsiserzso3694]

Nú er ég kominn heim eftir ferðalag um höfin djúp. Aldan var svo há, seltan át upp allt. Ég drukknaði í svartholi, í dauðans hönd ég tók. Svo há, hún var svo há, en tunglið lýsti leið, já tunglið há, en tunglið lýsti leið, já tunglið lýsti leið. Svo há, svo há, alda syndanna, alda syndanna.

[@jonhaukurstefansson556]

ANTAR the wave of the sins=alda syndanna

[@RetroDeath]

Their music is already so perfect but the artistic value of their videos really add to that perfection still.

[@PhoenixGirlOfficial]

+RetroDeath Agreed! They have the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen.

[@MBKill3rCat]

+RetroDeath By definition, you cannot add to perfection as it is already 'perfect' by your own description. Perfection is impossible though, in this context.

[@RetroDeath]

Kill3rCat You can always improve upon perfection, perfection is just the current limit of understanding, boundaries can always be pushed.

[@MBKill3rCat]

RetroDeath Perfection is *not* the current limit of understanding. The very definition of 'perfect' is that it *cannot get any better*.

[@RetroDeath]

Kill3rCat This is the dumbest discussion I have ever had on a metal music video but whatever, I'll humour you. No you are wrong, something can be perfect, and then when new discoveries or more progress has been made that perfect idea can be worked upon based off new information not available prior to the idea or invention. I'll even gave you too stupid examples. You can stand on top of a mountain, watch an incredible view and think to yourself, this moment is perfect, it just can't get any better, until a meteor shower starts bringing you to tears, making it even better. Or how about even more stupid, fire, when fire was invented it was absolutely perfect, you can't enhance fire, but then we learned how to harness it throughout the years, making it even more perfect as we learned about a dozen other ways to use it for besides food and warmth. Something can be perfect, and that perfection can still be moved forward when new events are brought up or new discoveries are made to improve upon the initial view. Now I am not going to have 10 000 back and forward comments over this, I have nothing else to add, take it as you will.

[@alexcruzbrasil9590]

Excellent music and photography! I'm Brazilian and we love the lyric and music arrangements. Deep and melancholy!!!

[@lunanielsen9144]

A perfect break from all the Thrash, Death and Black Metal I have been listening to. This is fucking gorgeous

[@rainbow_ninja4415]

Only Death Is Real I'm in the same possition this guy and nahko just doing amazing job...

[@eeetuman]

So Am I. Solstafir is true food for the soul after listening extreme metal genres.

[@BrotherMikhail84]

It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, or see this clip, it brings about a kind of mournful peace.... One that I very much relate to.

[@the_terrorizer]

Wow. Iceland and Solstafir were MADE for each other. These videos are some of the most complimenting to music I have ever seen.

[@CapitánPlopópotro]

No matter what year I am in, this keeps being utterly beautiful.

beautifully filmed, amazing Solstafir song, gives me the goosebumps everytime I watch it

The most beautiful video I've ever seen. I love B&W style but this is a new level of perfection.

[@TheValueOfN]

This is absolutely beautiful. The cinematography is perfect. I want blockbuster movies to be filmed like this. I want the art to be acknowledged.

[@insane-little-kingdom95]

Ikr, this is just so beautiful.

@@insane-little-kingdom95 I want Hollywood to jog on so that we can focus on more thoughtful art.

this video is a caress to the darkest side of my heart

[@mariacarrillo7562]

I just discovered this masterpiece with other songs. It's so beautiful, It hurts. Your viking sorrow reached Guatemala. 🖤

[@ritualsounds-ni7rd]

the best band i had the chance to experience live so far....

[@KingofErrors]

when I heard it for the first time, the first thing which came to my mind was - omg the atmosphere is like I'd be listening to the old Sentenced stuff...and then I saw Vesa Ranta. what a great job Harri Haataja, the beauty of Iceland is so overwhelming here

[@SuperMusicman5150]

Highly symbolic video... love Solstafir... one white flag against two black flags.... yet against the white sky even the white flag appears black... hail the powers of the universe.... the light reigns supreme!

[@jorgesimoes194]

There's something soul touching about a vulcanic rock shore with flags being flown filmed with almost no colour.

[@midianpoet]

Absolutely excellent music and visual accompaniment. The key word is ... Atmosphere .... and it is like a tide, a wave in the sea, a tsunami, it washes you away and won't let go, great!

[@juankHardCore]

La música de Sólstafir están perfecta que es difícil explicar su hermoso mensaje y los videos son perfectos.

[@nafooraljundi4602]

FINALLY a new video to end 2015 with! we need more videos shot in ICELAND like this!! most beautiful landscapes along with the most sensual, moving music from SOLSTAFIR

This song is perfection

[@eidersanz7220]

This is awesome. The language makes everything better. It wouldn't sound the same in english. A language like Icelandic should be preserved.

Underrated comment

[@yeniferfara]

Un descanso de baterías y guitarras de todo el álbum "Ótta" para escuchar solo piano y voz es realmente hermoso.

[@skullcrossbones7891]

Lo es...

[@xavieralvarenga_]

Sería bueno que las futuras canciones de Sólstafir tengan la misma influencia. Una excelente obra de arte.

[@manann]

Such a great song.

[@janosiklc]

During my first (not last! I hope) trip to Iceland this song/band was my favorite. It gave me inner Icelandic vibe, when I traveled across island. Love it!

[@lorenzorobert60]

Con todo lo que está pasando en estos momentos... este video me explotó en el cerebro. Ni idea de la letra. Pero me recuerda lo valiente que somos al reconocernos, tomar el camino de la introspección... Porque cuando me veo en tus ojos sé que he llegado a casa.

i'm not even in the right territory music wise, I listen to COMPLETELY different genres, but this. this I can appreciate. although I dont understand the words, my hair rises at the magnificent chemistry of just everything in this video.

Artistas que precisam ser conhecidos por quem gosta de boa música! ❤

[@lucasrosasantos5146]

No Brasil, a mídia não dá espaço para artistas de qualidade. Brasileiro que gosta de boa música só conhece assim, garimpando a Internet.

[@denismelo6778]

Com certeza!

[@denismelo6778]

O que eu acho incrível nos clipes dessa banda é que eles não precisam investir nem 1 centavo em cenários. Também, né... a paisagem daquele pais é o melhor cenário que existe!

[@LeonardoKDS]

​@@lucasrosasantos5146 São culturas completamente diferentes, meu caro. Imagine só se a televisão brasileira começasse a mostrar música que é famosa em tudo quanto é país… Teríamos que ouvir música da India, dos Emirados Arabes, da Tailandia, da Papua Nova Guiné, etc. E tenho absoluta certeza que você não gostaria nem da metade. A vida é assim, e FELIZMENTE temos a internet para poder conhecer toda e qualquer expressão cultural e artística em tão apenas segundos :) De qualquer maneira, Sólstafir é uma banda muito foda.

[@lucasrosasantos5146]

@@LeonardoKDS A questão não é cultura, é conteúdo. As músicas que são enfiadas goela abaixo para a população no Brasil não apresentam qualquer conteúdo, não acrescentam nada na vida das pessoas. Nenhuma história, nenhum aprendizado cultural, ou é sobre a mulher mexer a bunda, ou sobre o homem que sofre com a dor de corno. A pobreza está nas letras, mas também nos ritmos, e o que pior, os ditos artistas não tem capacidade qualquer de criar as letras e melodias das músicas. Geralmente lhes é entregue pelo empresário ou por um autor para que interpretem. Isso ocorre muito com artistas de sertanejo e funk.
