I struggle to describe the connection I have with this band and song. As a fisherman heading out to sea at 4am, these guys bring it all into context, That is all I can say.

[@ShellshockedRadio]

What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amWxl5eEqdxsrtk Very well done!

[@josuemartinez9688]

Cool

[@TILLeyeBURN]

Chills reading this man I know exactly what you mean especially hitting that water 🎣🎣🎣

[@loucorona2684]

At sixty one years old I feel the same about this band.

[@clinshrif8523]

I wanna live at sea too..

[@dontpaniciceland]

Director of Fjara, Lagnætti, and Bláfjall, weighing in, here. And I just gotta say, this is the greatest performance of this song, EVER. Addi’s scream at 8:17 makes my bones quake, and it’s an absolute CRIME that this song didn’t get a proper music video - although, I understand why, of course.. Great band, Addi has helped me through a lot of stuff, personally, and I love these guys to death... Rock & Roll.

[@scrambler350]

Definitely the best version of FJARA....better than the album version IMHO. The vocals are much higher in the mix, raw, and emotional.

[@heartnsoullife5188]

I absolutely love Sólstafir and the videos your directed for them. When each note and lyrics is matched with stunning visuals and storytelling. When meaning meets feeling and vice versa. Just brillant work you did for them and for us , thank you

[@loucorona2684]

His scream is what i hear in my head when i think of my late wife still miss her.

[@MarcLatham]

And the guitar building up to it from 7 minutes too. Whole last couple of minutes perfect, with all the band obviously 'in the zone'!

[@pablobarrio1270]

Bowen.......the video of Fjara....... is the perfection in itself.... Thanx for your art and talent 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@chrischemlen7999]

Most underrated Band I know. Can't Believe how good these guys are. Reminds me of early Pink Floyd.

[@DieNWOsiehtAlles66]

They are headlining this year @Graspop!

[@endproducciones]

This is epic!! Found them three days ago and I can’t stop listening this masterpiece

[@theastronomer5800]

Can't get enough of this masterpiece. Takes me back to Iceland every time.

[@ShellshockedRadio]

What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amWxl5eEqdxsrtk Very well done!

[@user-ry4qe3sb2g]

[@chrislambert5041]

Found these guys by accident - possibly the best band I have heard in the past 20 years

[@Elektron_]

Spotify put me this song in my Discover Weekly personalized playlist. I instantly fell in love ❤

[@enteriusz]

Spotify did this to me too:).

[@cyntheameow]

Spotify did this with my now absolute favorite band.

[@Zdziechu]

Same here :) totally mesmerized by this song!

[@PandeyPrashant]

Same. I liked it then but then had forgotten about it. Just the other day it was shuffled back up and now I'm here watching this on youtube.

[@kikifade12]

[@GuillermoMartinez-wo7of]

I saw them perform yesterday in Cologne Germany and was amazing!!!!!!🔥

[@Emma-py6ly]

Beautiful song ✨

[@verandi3882]

in the record it sounded like a piano , holy shit it's actually a banjo , and guitars imitating synth ,this band is sick

[@pinkfreud62]

Sounds nothing like a piano on CD unless you've got some weird version I've never heard.

[@TheRaga76]

This so a masterpiece. I f.. love this album.

[@Sami-kg5kj]

¡Es jodidamente maravilloso!

[@sdanits1995]

Desde el primer momento que escuche esta banda, me encanto... Demasiado buena música ! Venezuela lml

[@jesusvelaz4740]

Me paso lo mismo

[@lucasfernandes9425]

When the music is made with passion and emotion, whoever hears is infected by the feeling, it is the case of this disc.

[@ticklemetorgo]

The whole song is perfection, yet for me it gets ramped up at 6:20. Unable to describe.

[@ShellshockedRadio]

What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amWxl5eEqdxsrtk Very well done!

I like the banjo incorporated and the guitar sounds. It reminds me of a journey and being of viking heritage a rough one at that.

Banda maravilhosa!

[@Kasper0305]

По первым аккордам узнаешь кто это и откуда. Этих крутых парней невозможно с кем то спутать. Неподражаемы и индивидуальны.

[@AdamRzepkowski]

6:17 - when the magic starts and the earth start shaking

[@ericcoffelt5144]

I don’t know what he is saying, but I can feel it. I feel a strong pull to Iceland right now and I’m willing to drop everything to leave and dive into a frozen Icelandic waterfall in December!

[@houyuanjia83]

You chose this path, You thought he was your friend. You pat my cheek, Stab the knives in. With dread I now sleep, I give no longer. I thought you were my peace, But you turned into an evil faith

[@johnholdson7630]

Wow, I’m sitting here after a long day , I just cooked fried some elk fingers. I eat with a passion to go hunt and harvest another elk and call you guys in to devour the crispy delicacy. I really enjoy that long haired Ragnar guy when he plays with you cats. Can we see/ hear more of him? Maybe I harvest a lion next🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

[@guardkf]
