Sigur Rós - Gong Live

Nice song, just like all from Sigur Rós

[@ambientmf]

This is my absolute favourite Sigur Ros song. I love watching them perform, Jonsi has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

[@legniak1]

Is there a band on this planet that can touch sigur ros for beauty,emotion and creativity,i think not,simply amazing.

[@claumarob]

Esta canción es de mis favoritas, me mata emocionalmente, pero necesito escucharla de vez en cuando. Me encanta como usan la batería y el instrumento que usa Jonsi. Gracias por subirla. Saludos.

[@stritekind]

best song from Takk I think... Those strings and drums bring back so many memories... Fenominal!!!!

[@SirHawkeyeWho]

such a gorgeous song. Got Takk... for christmas this is deffo my fave song from it.

[@KevinNikeys]

The whole Takk... album is amazing. I can listen to the whole album without skipping a track.

[@ukr89]

This song is so beautiful...

[@wana848]

omg im sorry but this song is soo beautiful in so many ways. His voice is so high pitched and yet he continues to go even louder. I also love the background music.=)

[@lili7678]

It's an angel voice ! ;-)

[@fhcumpire]

For anyone who is new to the band, find the studio version of this, on the album Takk, turn it up and enjoy. A journey worth taking for sure.

[@ThanatosSagenev]

I think that Sigur Rós' makes interactive music, 'coz they creat an atmosphere with the instruments and the voice, and we give direction to the trip by creating our own lyrics for each song. Cheers!

[@kaykong1987]

nothing short of amazzzing!

[@MoleculeTwo]

most underrated sigur ros song =) i love it

[@FwithouttheFrank]

Imanolchavez, I'm kinda in the middle there. I love Sigur Ros' music, but I'd hardly say they're an important part in my life. They are inspirational, but to go so far and say I couldn't go without them is silly.

[@wood6735]

All of Takk... is amazing. This song is probably one of my favorites, though.

[@josephmerrick1]

best performance from Jónsi ever.

[@mrtnplt]

fantastic...

[@pchanokros]

amazing is not enough for Sigur Ros

[@archipelligo]

Yeah very under rated song really, it's actually quite a fierce song I think especially with a big crushendo like that, paints a mental picture of a battle that the hero only just wins having been thought dead to me at least

[@chantty3]

ENCONTRE TU CANAL! HERMOMSA ROLA!

[@HMMLHMML]

fantastic

[@bzeljn]

Probably my favourite song of theirs. How the hell he does falsettos that high, I'll never know. Awesome band.

[@TheOmniPresente]

@nhonhoMexJp En una entrevista Jónsi (vocalista de Sigur Rós) menciona que la intención del grupo fue crear el Hopelandic para utilizar la voz como un instrumento más y con el fin que permita que cada persona le ponga el sentido que quiera. Por otro lado menciona que le da risa (no en mal plan) que la gente cante las letras de las canciones aun sin saber que es lo que significan. Yo me quedo con su versión. Todo engloba algo que me hace sentir bien y yo le doy mi propio significado. NaClu2!

[@DTHorses77]

Muy buen aporte el tuyo!

[@KingsVivian]

makes me love.

[@muzzilaneous440]

It looks more like a hi-hat near the beginning of the clip. I get the same effect putting a splash on a tom. I don't have the luxury of a 16 inch tom at the moment, but when I do, and if I happen to have any spare hats lying around, hehehe...

[@mrtnplt]

perfect

[@ThanatosSagenev]

I got it from Sigur Rós' official website. Check out in download/videos, at the bottom of that section there's a link, click there and it'll take u to a page with a lot of Sigur Rós' videos. Cheers!

[@ThanatosSagenev]

@nhonhoMexJp Pues no, no existe traducción, puesto que no tiene letra, en esta canción canta en Hopelandic, que basicamente son fonemas similares al islandés, que además tienen cierto parecido con el inglés; pero en si no dice nada. Saludos

[@Emnor1993]

@legniak1 i think there are but very few sigur ros is amazing indeed

[@crazywhip]

@archipelligo wow that is almost exactly what I picture with the beginning of this song song. A grassland or brown wasteland with some type of epic battle with woodland people. That and dying in a natural disaster and seeing paradise at the end

[@pablobakan11]

@primersemestre Gong is available as free download in sigur rós official website :)

[@turkadurka]

wow! that amazing. if anyone understands how orri is getting that sound in the beginning tell me!

[@muzzilaneous440]

Anybody know what Orri puts on his floor tom to get that whip sound? It sounds so awesome!

[@chigwife862]

I think it is a sample of his voice with the pitch altered, the same as the start and end of Vaka off ( )

[@drums4joel]

It seems to me like Orri has a small snare drum on top of the floor tom, cause right by the end u dont see the small snare on it anymore. I LOVE this song, but it seems like they played it a little too fast?

[@mrtnplt]

I love you

[@ThanatosSagenev]

you can find the song in soulseek. If u still don't finding it, send me a msg and i will send the song to ur mail. Cheers,good luck

[@hallelschell14]

What is the date and location of this particular performance?

[@sluraplea]

fucking. perfect.

[@WmJoseSinclair]

check out DEAD CAN DANCE for equally spiritual music.. awesome musicians and singers both

[@Oscaracermx]

which effect is using jonsi on the beginning in the synth? it sounds like his voice reversed

[@zdsrtgnzetmyet]

does anywone know the instrument the singer is playing?

[@shdwsf]

Interpreting is serene though.

[@hamdigidy]

what's the lead singer playing? i would assume old synth.

[@dm8ns]

@sandermeijer. It's more beautiful without lyrics.

[@Manny1222]

@colbin2012 And I think Dream Theater is better than both combined times 10. Doesn't stop me from enjoying Sigur Ros though.

[@endotm2956]

Actually, its sounds like yust a sample.

[@zeddel]

lyrics?

[@mikekelley]

crushendo? hahahaa

[@wexenhex]

@colbin2012 i actually like Cannibal Corpse. but you are just being silly.

[@shdwsf]

Its an old dialect, not english

[@olikane530]

Not Gong enuff!

[@marrible]

actually, in this song he sings in hopelandic which is a made up language

[@endotm2956]

There is no lyrics it's hopolendish,that means its bands isnvented language without any meaning.

[@CalculatedPerception]

it's hardly even a language: hopelandic that is. it's more of jibberish which leaves a completely open interpretation for lyrics.

[@wintdoofwint]

chris pennie is alot better, in my opinion
