Sigur Ros - Von (live at the BBC Electric Proms)

[@nerdnurdlovebb]

Goosebumps forever.

[@gaileileen65]

Breathtaking, magical, there are no words....the more I hear Jonsi sing, the less I can tolerate other music..... Sigur Ros: must be music trickling down from Heaven....

[@Oh_I_Will]

These guys are Great!!! Not sure why you would shut off any/every other Artist though. That’s just plain stupid....if anything, hearing this incredible piece should make you want to seek out all types of Artists of every genre, every era, studio or live....

[@missalisonhamiltonUK]

My God, i could watch Jonsi sing and play that guitar like that for hours on end without getting bored, what a beautiful sound, love sigur ros so much, they have kept me sane in a crazy fucked up world xxx

[@97chopper]

this is the most amazing music i have ever herd. The first person who terned me on to this band was a friend then i searched them on i tunes and i have over 20 songs of them.

[@Oh_I_Will]

Just 20??? Try their entire discography

[@kiloelo]

i was in a band called Von.very much inspired by ros

[@DeepQuieel]

I can't tell you how deep I felt your comment. I'm sure that you're a great person. My girlfriend had cancer, hopefully now she's ok. I don't got words.... good vibes girl!

[@RobynASDxxx]

Oh i fking love Jonsi, what a voice, really sends chills down my spine every tie i hear this track, and what a performance, i adore sigur ros so much, im glad their back recording again =)

[@UnoSylvie]

I'm crying, it makes me very emotional.

[@DifDickison]

Tears, tears and tears again

[@Jeremiy2]

just had to go to bed and be all sleepy dreamy, last call for you tube video...lovin it

[@droull7439]

Thats incredible!

[@coyotew925]

Too beautiful.

[@simonedifrancesco9087]

I cry. Everytime

[@JimB667]

Whats not to like about this group? Their music is beatiful, thats why it stands out. Not because you percieve the landscape as being "murky". The hours and hours of work they put into this stuff, I can feel when I listen to them. My suggestion is to stop waiting for something to come along and just go find it. I have a hard time understanding people when they say that there isn't any good music, or the music scene sucks. Good music is everywhere, at any time in history.

[@599141984]

NIIIIIICEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lorenz.r86]

Hvarf's version of Von is awesome, certainly one of my favorite SR's songs [that includes all () ]. In the cd version the violins are magnificent.

[@frederico34567890]

So beautiful, I'm almost crying

[@miomimomiro]

There's 400times more likes than dislikes. This song has 400 times more influence than I first thought it would have influence; in my life, in my doings, in my everything.

[@bradmagic1]

Heaven.

[@280km]

excelent !!! Lo mejor, sigur ros !!

[@oussamaoulhaj5986]

Magical

[@sigurros3728]

Beautiful...

[@axejaw]

absolutely incredible.

[@murilonightmare]

this song is so touching =X

[@iosonostrano]

Beautiful!!!!

[@ePixelStudio]

Almost brings a tear to my eye. Simply beautiful.

[@The76SIN]

just great !

[@mabalsaritchy]

soul music

[@Oh_I_Will]

Hope they play this on the upcoming tour…

[@Squirto]

@youmustgoon It's the most perfect piece you could have played. It's both extremely sad and hopelessly uplifting and beautiful at the same time. Perfect choice.

[@markopolo84]

Perfect!

[@mayabadseed4621]

maya badseed....jonsi has superb voice and earth bound humility and gentleness ...great accompaniment musicians

[@BenSmerg]

Absolutely incredible. Their live BBC version is even better than the 'Heima' album version.

[@YouNeedToHearThis]

I'll be seeing Jonsi in Detroit Nov. 5th. I cannot wait.

[@woebb]

brilliant

[@AlanGradilla]

you said is lovee!!!

[@cerbybus]

no word....just hear

[@esca1337]

omfg this is soooooooooooooooooooo good

[@meggers22]

Walked up the aisle towards my future husband to this song.

[@tjdrummer13]

I have no idea what his saying...buts its the most beautiful thing ever in each of his songs. I do always feel like his saying 'Eels eyes' though. But i try to ignore that.

[@JkTp08]

wow i dont know anything about this band i heard this song one day on t.v and all i thought was WOW this is amazing.

[@reptarismaster]

seeing them april 4th :D

[@invn263]

2021

[@Oh_I_Will]

Pffft….every year

[@PauliusChemLT]

amazing (mm)

[@p44v9n]

grabs your soul... they never mention Amina (spelt that wrong probably) who always play with them i really have to start watching elekik proms... magic...

[@IRLKids79]

Good evening goosebumps, we meet again

[@mabalsaritchy]

@youmustgoon please accept my condolences for your loss, I hope time is healing the wounds. Please take consolation in the fact you were there when she passed way. My mother died in 2006 and I was there at the time she had her heart attack. Whilst I tried frantically to carry out cpr she slipped away in front of my eyes, terribly hard at the time, but I now take consolation in the fact we were together.

[@adrianoback6454]

🇧🇷

[@1terminator0]

Este brother me da animos para seguir adelante :)

[@Fede_Zul]

jajajaaja

[@Fede_Zul]

pudiste seguir adelante?

[@Jeremiy2]

just had to go to bed and be all sleepy dreamy, last call for you tube video...lovin it, I heard "inside a house, inside a noose" any objections?

[@DifDickison]

I wanna this song at my funeral. I wanna die with this song.

[@Oh_I_Will]

Forget that...I want it now, tomorrow and every day of the rest of my life....not when I kick the bucket

[@abelpass]

Hey, thats your opinion man. I dont understand why everyone get pissed about your comment... This is a place to express what you think of anything, like it or not.

[@kataidamashi]

me too

[@altopancho3]

Yes. It's "vonlenska" or "hopelandic", Von = Hope, Lenska = Is-lenska = Ice-landic- (mmm...). A language created by Jónsi. All of the vocals in "Untitled Album" by Sigur Rós are however in hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic). Is the "language" in which Jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals. It isn't an actual language (no vocabulary, grammar, etc). It's rather a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument. Good luck!

[@Oh_I_Will]

A bunch of rubbish. The often over used buzz word “hopelandic” was NOT created by Jonsi. It was a stupid word a SR Fan came up with and it unfortunately went viral with the band “Marks”. The gibberish Jonsi uses in many tunes is just Vocal Improv, used with great effect as another means to mesh with the other instruments.

[@kevinmulrooney3353]

Whateverhesingshebrings. Noeggsplanation . I'm paraphrasing the late, should've been great Kevin Ayres. I don't care if its hopelandic gobbledegook Icelandic English. This band is non pareil..

[@Oh_I_Will]

@@kevinmulrooney3353then never use that stupid “hoppy-land” crap again…it’s an embarrassment to Jonsi….

[@sucramnormark]

Von actually means "Hope" in icelandic.

[@racso452]

Can anyone give me the english translation to these lyrics? I can't find them online, but I really want to know! It's fucking beautiful!

[@brianmadigan6600]

It’s imaginary

[@racso452]

@@brianmadigan6600 13 years later, you provide me information I know by now on this long forgotten comment. I thank you.

[@kevinmulrooney3353]

Von actually means hope. Vonlenska is the hopelandic language Jonsi sings in on ~20% of their songs

[@ronnie8141]

Creepy...thats what I think about as well when I listen to a lot of Sigur ros...white frost and a low lying red sun. Takk always reminded me of winter - agaetis byrjun early autumn.

[@rusjones]

so 4 people misspressed the thumps up ?

[@draycmf]

@97chopper you've got 20 songs of them ? you SHOULD have 6 albums of them.

[@serazad73]

@youmustgoon May God rest her sould in peace.

[@AnimexBoi]

There is no english and/or any language translation for this song. It's in "Hopelandic" which is just plain Gibberish... but it's nice!

[@Cecil8323]

i'm dying

[@inkpink]

To say this is nice speaks an injustice to this piece. It is both empowering and silencing but yet at the same time it makes you inferior. God bless Sigor Ros and hope they re-band.

[@笑い男-c4e]

😁😁😁

[@CerpinTaxt1983]

@youmustgoon as i type this post i am crying i am so sorry to hear about your mom. I love my mother so much i don'tknow what i would do without her. I hope you get well soon :)

[@chesschannel8262]

Ég er ekki að hjálpa Jonsi.

[@Luvinhas]

@seulhee89 hopelandic xD

[@tjdrummer13]

@69drummerdude Bullshit. He's just speaking icelandic?

[@blandatious]

@youmustgoon i hope you are doing okay. i think at times one might feel like falling apart but strenght can be found by asking oneself what did my mum/dad bring me up to do? try and make your mum proud every day. you are her legacy and try each day to make her proud. It is you and your family that walk in her footsteps. Try and do as you think she would wish.

[@kevinmulrooney3353]

To paraphrase British band Arcadium, Take time time to listen and breathe awhile.

[@JoruToxos]

They're called Amiina

[@imnothear]

i still prefer the original version of von, though this is beautiful as well

[@lafeese]

oops wrong video, two windows open

[@BrotherOrchid]

Spacecarn: This is a comment space and by your rant I guess all comments must be of the same viewpoint, or at least your viewpoint. Really I can't understand your overreaction to a simple post, I wonder how you react to something truly important. BTW you left off the favorite word "Hater", which seems to be the catch all response for any dissagreament. Just curious, why do you like this group?

[@69drummerdude]

@tjdrummer13 Hate to burst your bubble, but no. Research a bit further; they are quite open about it. It's a made up language not supposed to mean anything at all. Just sounds. If you click on Gobbledigook with Bjork you can hear real Icelandic, its a lot harsher with lots of K's in it (kinda, funny sounding)

[@narvalillo]

The saddest song ever.

[@69drummerdude]

@tjdrummer13 You do know he's not saying anything at all, don't you?

[@sams901]

It's Icelandic... An idiom too, though it's barely known.

[@Oh_I_Will]

It’s not Icelandic…it’s vocal improv

[@tjdrummer13]

@69drummerdude Ha nah you didn't burst 'my bubble' I don't speak icelandic. And i don't speak Gobbledigook [sadly] so an incomprehensible language is the same as any other incomprehensible language...in some respects. But its very nice. Actualy lyrics piss me off sometimes, so its almost like its just all instrumental but with nice vocals. I'll look into it some more....

[@evotina]

@youmustgoon GOOD LUCK SAD STORY

[@BrotherOrchid]

BadCold: Right now I'm not overly excited by much of the music scene right now, I find myself waiting for the next great thing to come along. Maybe, in my opinion, that's why it seems that a slightly less mediocre band can stand out because the landscape is so murky with so-so music. Just an opinion. Maybe in time I might see what you see in this group, who knows. Have a good one.

[@eroticmisery]

kinda reminds me of the cocteau twins.

[@Jeremiy2]

no his is in bad slape

[@morado666]

the 4 dislike are probably a miss clic !

[@PauliusChemLT]

I think the same.. "You sigh alone" .. Hmm , perhaps..

[@cerbybus]

ok.its health to say my opinion too...about you...if you dont like this band it's ok and leave us....go and listen what you think is good... you dont need to tell any shit about one band or another because nobody listen you , you like or not like and bye bye.

[@zdsrtgnzetmyet]

EMO!!

[@victoriousleebo]

I think this is in 'hopelandic', a made up language. It means whatever you want it to.

[@BrotherOrchid]

Honest to God I don't know what all the praise is for. This is such a mediocre band. Are they all on Valium or what?

[@zdsrtgnzetmyet]

EMO

[@GhostOfJohnLennon]

worst...comeback...ever
