Sólstafir - Ótta

[@Willyspoon]

I discovered this song after a party and me and my current gf at the time came home and laid on the couch. Put youtube on the tv and this came on. We both sat up and listened astonished. This song will always be connected to that moment for me. Hope that lady is doing well.

[@ilumsin987]

How the hell can it be so brilliant ??? It's almost the same thing for 9 minutes and yet it makes me close my eyes, drop all my tears, and headbang like I'm crazy...all at the same time...! No seriously, Solstafir, if you can hear me, please, NEVER stop playing music ! It's just too good.

[@jabcam634]

+Alexia Cazamea My feelings exactly. I just recently tried to describe what it sound like and... well, "It's almost the same thing for 9 minute". Funny. Good music hits!

[@vyrnius]

but the emotion they are spreading through their songs are the same thing for 9 minutes and in this thing solstafir are simply masters: expressing emotion

[@gilbertfontainedelatourdha4138]

Relax, bitch. You're trying too hard.

[@JClebelge]

same for me, especially in this sad part of my life!

[@sams901]

Icelandic music is brilliant in its own irreplicable way :)

[@BurpleRX7]

People criticising the song for being a bit predictable or basic do not understand the intention of the song, not every band wants to create a technical masterpiece that wows musicians and special wine drinkers, Sometimes a band just wants to make a cool song with some emotion, and I am more than happy to listen to that song.

[@provst1]

sometimes less is more.

[@mr.d.572]

I'm so tired of super fast wankery. There's a place for it but there's too much of it out there.

[@DaveSwayer]

I don't see anybody "criticising", maybe you just came up with that.

[@BurpleRX7]

@@DaveSwayer there was around 4 years ago when I posted this both on here and social media. I would hazard a guess that the post and sentiment gets removed

[@unicornswirl8636]

This song is beautiful and so much more emotional live. It makes me cry when I hear it live.

[@Alisu91]

English lyrics: 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.

[@bogdanrusu5786]

Masterpiece, I could listen to it over and over again and live the same feelings.

[@midianpoet]

Fragile essence of music ....... One of the best songs EVER, thanks for that Sólstafir !

[@laravermillion3875]

Ótta and Berdreyminn really capture the essence of Iceland. My boyfriend and I drove along the west fjords to those albums, the cloudy coast to the left and snowy mountains to the right. Incredible moment :o

[@davitochiauri9201]

my favourite Metal song of all time.

[@evafkt9797]

Gives me chills each time. This kind of music touches you personaly, very deep, and you can finally breath. I personaly prefer this kind of sensations than popular musics, made to satisfy a large mass of people...

[@NICHOLEWILLIAMS123]

Otta is my favorite no doubt. The guitar sounds soo Beautiful and lonely at first, then the symbols sound like a climb to the top, but when you get to the top you have one more battle and that's when the music picks up.

[@willw1078]

That scream at the end is one of pure pain. Holy shit.

[@monkeymonkeyson6743]

Its 4 years when i just meet sólstafir, and I know, this will be some piece of my life until the end, becouse I'm coming back to their music like moth to the light, thank's for these piece of art 🖤

A few months ago I couldn't utter a word. Glad I can read Icelandic now

[@joksa969]

+Apostolis Tzivleris Can you recommend me how to learn Icelandic? I can't seem to find any resources online, and the ones I find aren't too 'in depth'. Looking forward to your answer :)

[@apostolistzivleris6730]

Miljan Joksimović hey miljan. Well the truth is that I didn't manage to learn Icelandic but I can surely read text in Icelandic. As you said, finding online sources is pretty damn difficult cause it's a pretty unknown language spoken by few. Nonetheless I will send you some sources I have found although they are not getting in depth as you said. I will post the links soon. But for various reasons I have given up lately, so I am pretty sure that if you insist you will manage to learn some stuff

[@joksa969]

Thanks mate. It's a really unknown language as you've said and remained the same for centuries so it's really hard. The size of the country and the population number doesn't help either xDD Looking forward to the link mate.

[@apostolistzivleris6730]

OK.So Useful pronunciation: www.sigur-ros.co.uk/band/pronunci.php www.nativlang.com/icelandic-language/icelandic-pronunciation.php#h31 Overall knowledge: mylanguages.org/learn_icelandic.php www.101languages.net/icelandic/ Endings,cases etc: ielanguages.com/icelandic.html BASIC stuff: en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Icelandic/Lesson_1 Also google translate helps some times, but youtube videos are extremely limited.If android user then make sure to download the Verb Blitz Icelandic.Amazingly useful as far as the verb part goes. Of course there are books if you want to buy, but I haven't looked for any yet. Also www.icelandic-lessons.com/ for lessons through Skype.PM me for more info about this.

[@chrislambert5041]

Only discovered this band about six weeks ago - quite simply best thing I have heard in the past 20 years, the music, like the country they hail from is just incredible. It is magnificent, raw and moving. Tracks where they change not just tempo but genre - amazing. Touches the soul like nothing else - life changing music !!!

[@weisserelephant]

One of the best bands I've ever listened to. Why are you having so less views?
