Sigur Rós - Glósóli - 6 Music Live

[@silversnail1413]

Jonsi's bowed guitar is one of the most beautiful sounds ever produced in modern music. It definitely inspired me to seek out and create my own unique guitar sound instead of just playing the usual blues riffs and standard tunings. I'm so glad that Sigur Ros exists.

[@alexisclarete]

yeaahhh..that is true...

[@kyleenglot9184]

He definitely brought it more into the mainstream... Of course Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin also utilized a bow guitar in Dazed and Confused.

[@seankrolyk5814]

@@kyleenglot9184 Pretty sure it was also used in How Many More Times and Whole Lotta Love, and probably more songs as well.

Glowing Sun (Bright Sun) Now that you’re awake Everything seems different I look around But there’s nothing at all Put on my shoes, I then find that She is still in her pyjamas Then found in a dream I’m hung by (an) anticlimax She is with the sun And it’s out here But where are you… Go on a journey And roam the streets Can’t see the way out And so use the stars She sits for eternity And then climbs out She’s the glowing sun So come out I awake from a nightmare My heart is beating Out of control… I’ve become so used to this craziness That it’s now compulsory And here you are… I’m feeling… And here you are, Glowing sun… And here you are, Glowing sun… And here you are, Glowing sun… And here you are…

Why does it sound so much straighter on the album version? Here it sounds like they slow way down on every third measure.

[@elcubano8843]

@@rome8180 I think it's to make you feel a dragging sensation, like something is coming but you don't know when. A sense of anticipation.

The kick drum plays 16th notes at the end over every other bar, but it just sounds like a mistake every time I hear it. Like I know it's intentional, but it just takes away from this solid driving pulse that propels the song forward.

[@ingrid_inthesky]

Same here. I was looking for the comment. I was wondering what was going on with the time signatures but don't recall it on other recordings.

[@paguenodris3415]

As a musician it is hard to take the BD groove, of course is intentional but why haha

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

It's genuinely messing with me.

[@halt.halt.halt.]

One accented kick is displaced a 16th note, that’s why it has this kind of a draggy feel to it. However, I wonder why he decided to play it like this. Maybe to make the finale more impressive and straight forward. Just like a relief from the dragging.

What's up with the off time kick? That's not on the album. Kind of takes me out of the moment and flow.

[@shibbyzoltan]

that's funny because even on their show in Warsaw (Poland) it was the same "problem" ;-)

[@Mattybot3000]

I noticed that too. It must be what they do live. It's not bad. I got used to it.

[@earthrise001]

Matty Bot the hit is there on the album, it just isn't nearly as up front. i think they said they recorded three layers of bass drum for the album and mic'd up the squeaky chain on an old pedal as well. live he plays two of those parts on the two kicks regularly and one with a mallet in his right hand hitting the kick as well and then a sample of the squeak. that off time hit just happens to be on the loudest of the kick sounds playing so you notice it more than on the album!

[@Mattybot3000]

People keep liking my comment so I decided to post again. Listening to the song live and then listening to the studio recording I stand by my words. There is no off time kick in the studio song. At least not one as drastically off time on this live video which it almost takes the flow out of the song. Yes the studio recording has very faint hits on the kicks and they use all sorts of weird fancy instruments but I hear what I hear.

Doesnt sound very good though, is kinda distracting at first

The only other band to change my life as much as Sigur Ros has is The Beatles. That's saying something.

Sounds like the drummer is briefly touching 3/4 then back to 4/4 and it confuses me. I don't recall that before since first hearing this years ago🤷🏽‍♀️
