Sigur Rós: Ekki múkk (moving art)

[@jadebotha3523]

Lol brilliant

[@Youlikeadream]

I went to the beach a few months ago. It was my first time on a bus. I fell asleep with my earphones on, and then I woke up with Ekki Mukk. When I opened my eyes I saw a dark road and a black sky full of stars. That simple scenario made me feel so calm and glad to be alive, but also kinda sad and afraid. I struggle with myself a lot, I'm definitely not my friend and I think I'm a piece of crap sometimes. That moment and that song made me think about a lot of things. Everytime Ekki Mukk comes on, I remember that moment.

This song remind me of a girl that I met on a trip, she was listening to this song on a bus so I tried to talk with her she was so similar to me and we listened that song till the end of the route. Every time I listen to this song I feel like I was there next to her on that bus. It’s a pure and soft feeling thanks Sigur Rós

[@paulfrancis4227]

Played this song to begin my English class today. At the end a young man stayed behind, and waited for others to leave. Then he walked up and sheepishly asked. “Mr F--, what was that music? - I felt all like I was floating.” Yeah, I’m not gonna tell him, but in June his final grade is 100%.

At the end of a difficult day, there is no better medicine than the simple, isolated chords of the last 90 seconds. Each is the most gentle reminder, "...just breathe..."

[@filipsperl]

Here I am again, staring at a long text. It's always a bit different, but the constant in all of these is an end of an era. An empty heart. A screaming void. Rain in my own small world and noone to enjoy it. At times like these, I always think that I will be alone forever.

[@distant_sounds]

The first time I heard this song was by seeing this video. It reminds me of all the people close to me who have died during my life, bringing back their memories, as I saw them all on the ship, going from this world to the next. The beauty of the song can't be put in words, but only be felt.

I discovered this song from that movie: STARFISH. I was holed up in my little apartment in Spokane Washington-listening to this song, with snow outside, completely covering everything, with not a person on the streets. I thought it was just the most beautiful and ethereal song that I had ever heard in my life. If beauty and love can be wrapped up in a song. Then this is that song.

[@Abcdefghijklmno4840]

This is one of the best tracks they've ever made imo. There's something so beautiful and melancholic about it. Yet, at the same time, it sounds like a gentle lullably. It's like a lullaby full of sorrow. I love it. Jonsi vocals help as well. I could imagine a grandmother singing this to a child before bed.

This makes me remember my childhood. I don't know why, but I hear him sing and I suddenly feel nostalgic. I miss those days, but at the same time I'm happy that it happened. Only Sigur Rós can make me feel like this, they are nothing but a life metaphor.

It's hard to find sources of beauty in this world, yet so easy if you stop looking. Like laying on the grass on a summer's day or a child learning to talk. Or listening to the angelic tones of Sigur Rós when you're feeling like giving up.

[@thefallofaaron]

It rained where I live for the first time since this album has been released. I put this on repeat one and started walking. I walked for two hours around my town in the rain listening to this. And I passed dozens of places where I had memories with my first and so far only love. This song brought those memories to life tonight. Every time the song was in its last two minutes I'd cry, and I'd swear I could feel her next to me. Two hours well spent for an emotional masochist like myself.

[@ozzgonzalez7165]

Ekki Múkk, Agaetis Byrjun, Staralfur, Olsen Olsen, Untitled #1, Syndir Guds, Fjogur Piano, Ara Batur, Hoppípolla and Daudalogn are their best.. I mea, they're my favourite band ever. But those songs really take me into a deep peace of mind state.

It came from the depths of my inner being. It was a personal, subjective response to hearing one of their new songs on the radio. I hadn't listened to their music in several months and wasn't aware of a member leaving (I don't follow music news). I found it reminiscent of some repetitive mainstream songs but not mainstream, per se. Which piece or album of theirs I like most depends on what mood I'm in.
