Every single one of you here listening to Olafurs music. I love you so much. I’ve been searching for you all for so long. No one in my life cares to hear this music. I don’t understand it. Listening to Olafur is like a great cleansing. It impacts me in a way I’ll never be able to describe well enough. I love you all. You are a very special type of human. A rare kind. And you deserve love and happiness. My favorite Olafur song is “happiness does not wait” I want it played when I die. If you are a newer fan you should listen to it.

"Beautiful thing don't ask for attention" this phrase really remind me of Olafur's music.

I've been in such a dark place lately, my whole life and dreams of which I was building with the person I loved had been shattered to absolute pieces, after everything came to a halt and we separated, and eventually I plunged into depression. Right now I'm going through such a stressful time with finals at medical school, and between therapy and antidepressants, friends and family support, and the best of my abilities, I'm trying to get myself together through this. It isn't easy, and I've learnt to never judge people for what they're going through and to be kinder with everyone on their own journeys. I'm trying my absolute best to grasp any form of light through this maze that I'm in, I'm trying to see a different reality or to get excited about different sorts of things on my own, however, it really is hard. This piece has been such a solace for me during these times and I'm absolutely grateful for such a delicacy. I can't and won't be able to control anything other than myself. This is a humbling lesson that life gave me as of late.

This album reminds me that I'm still alive and that I can still feel something

My sister passed away today, I loved her very much she was my little sister. This has brought me some peace. My heart breaks and this is soothing. Thank you.

I went to his concert in Brooklyn last month and he talked about how he released “some kind of peace” despite not being able to perform it anywhere in front of an audience because of the pandemic. This was just his second concert in almost three years and he said “The way we get to know our music is by playing it for you.” I’m so glad I got to be a part of that.

Loneliness, calmness, sadness, happiness.

Those socks look extremely comfy. God bless the creature that made them and the creature that wears them.

I cried listening to this music, it exactly paints this undescribable beauty of Iceland. I called it home for the last 4 years, moved out in june. The longer i am away the more it rips my heart apart. I left the biggest part of me behind...

Amid everything happening over the world, your album literally gave us “some kind of peace” we are forever grateful for your art ..

To carry Spirit Light into the World's dark Winter night, This is my heart's glad striving, that gleaming seeds of Soul may grow within the World's foundations, & in the darkness of the senses, Word Divine resounds, transfiguring all Life! 🕯 - Rudolf Steiner

0:00 - Spiral 4:21 - Still/Sound 8:34 - Back to the Sky 12:11 - We Contain Multitudes

waiting for the 2023 calendar so i can plan my trip to reykjavik

I feel like the camera man was also a “musician” in this piece.

spiral is my favorite piece on his latest album

How long you have slept How long you have dreamt in the veils of pure starlight What dreams have you wrought in the forges of the night? Drops of silver moon on a restless sea. Elsewhere a majestic silence neath flickers of aeons past. Floating on waves in time I have memories looping in my thoughts Gathering stardust. Neurons to nowhere Everything beautiful, is... far away.

this version 'Back to the sky' with JFDR without drums is even more beautiful for me than in the album

I hope one day I to will find so emotional musicians to make such moving music with...

I love Icelandic songs so much! They are so beautiful!

Thankyou all so much for reminding me what the phrase "achingly beautiful" means. ❤

So the camera is running on the rail around the musicians. ^ ^ So clever. Nice video!

Thank you.

Over the moon Under the stars Feel them arresting me Unknowables Fading at dawn Troubles, too Dimness sustains Oh the regret I could be lost to you Lost in thought Sending a kiss Back to the sky So has my world become Run out of breath I'm not the only one to lose a friend Where do you go You're going home What do I do with the Void in your shape Leaving me frailty A drop and I break What do I do With half of myself Then when the stars align With some kind of peace I could be loved by you Either way Where did you go You're going home Then when the stars align With some kind of peace I know I'm loved by you Either way Where did you go You're going home Then when the stars align With some kind of peace I know I'm loved by you Either way Where did you go You're going home You're going home

I just played this to my 6 year old son. So calming, centering, uplifting and beautiful. It was also an opportunity to explain winter solstice and the characteristic of being north of 60 on the shortest day, longest night of the year. Brings me back to my hometown in the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Ólafur, for making this Monday way easier to go through.

Getting Birdy 'Let It All Go' vibes at the end...

It must've been a super short day. We were in Iceland in January and we had maybe 4-5 hours of daylight. It was really cool to watch the Sun rise and set in the middle of nowhere.

Incredible in every way - the music, the space, the light, the filming. I really enjoyed this, and will return to it often.

Listening again this December, one year later. Music brings peace & sanity for a mad, mad world.

Hang on, for here is the moment you realize that everything only - truly has the value You give it! Here & now, your worries are finally gone & everything is okay, it's okay...it is... okay ❤🙏

A little moment of life is in those notes.

Like the circular motion of the camera, I find myself often returning to this sublime performance

Today is Winter Solstice too. Two years later on the day. Thank you for your recording.

How in the world is something like this mixed so clean, what about mike bleed? what about pop filters? what about proximity effect? my mind is melting here. Seriously beutiful job on every level.

Did not even realised i have been listening to your music so passionately lately

We are waiting for the film so bad, Mister Olafur you are the best ever Impressive title "when we are born" 😍 .. some kind of mind-orgasm Thank you very much.

Countless sunrises have started with Olafur's music and hot cup of coffee. Blessings.

I really hope there's going to be a "sunset session" on the longest day of the year :)

Everything happens in good time. 🦋

No words to describe this well. More than perfect!

Love the synchronicity❤

this is pure eternity! love!

Ólafur Arnalds' music transmits indescribable feelings and emotions, you have to listen to it and let yourself be carried away

Spiral for me, brings up every joyful and painful memory I have in my life all the same time, which leads to both kinds of tears. lol. Wonderful? Yes.

As long as there are people in the world like Olafur there will be hope for humanity as a collective..... Thanks

We love it.

Back to the Sky...Evokes everyone I have loved , and everyone who has died..

don't forget to experience your yin. if you long too much for the return of the sun, you might skip the beauty of winter

This "sunrise session" is very pleasurable ! I really like JFDR voice. ♥️

And now it is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.

Stadig fineste solhverv - lige her 🙂

my heart is with you all. thank you

8:38 Back to the sky with JFDR 🖤

Patiently waiting for the concert 2022. Keeping my tickets. The moment I'll hear the 1st note on the concert I'll cry and won't stop till the next day.

Musique tellement idéale à écouter ; on vole et découvre de nouveaux espaces ; merci de nous faire partager ce moment. Some kind of peace est fabuleux....

JFDR blows my mind, such raw emotive beauty.

When i listen to this music, i feel like my universe is in the changing.

In 2017, I was going through difficult times in many indescribable ways, my heart was so broken that wake up every morning was really painful, and then, like a healing bless from heaven, I discovered the music of Ólafur. Their musical notes were able to trigger a broad feelings range into my heart in such a way that, over time it was as if with each tone and to the rhythm of their compositions my soul was healed. Thanks Ólafur for help me when I needed!

With Murray Gold, you're the only one that can make me feel so much emotions, forget that I even exist, transport me that way with your music... I don't listen to them, I feel like I live them

Beautiful

cette musique te fait oublier l'absurdité du monde, toute la haine, tous les clivages, pour l'avoir vu en concert, c'est une grâce sans commune mesure, c'est un instant suspendu dans le temps jusqu'aux dernières minutes qui ne sont véritablement que du silence, il faut le vivre, allez l'écouter, les écouter, car notamment les violonistes sont habités par leur art, par l'amour de la musique

Thank you very much Olafur. Thank you for your music. You're really something sent by gods in heaven. An extraordinary person that sheds light into this world. Thank you. Thanks to your music I feel less alone.

"Back To The Sky" always makes me tremble.

those cars driven by out of the window, they didn't know what happening in here was so beautiful.

Beautiful....

So beautiful!

Wow, simplement magnifique 🥰 Je me suis imaginée, un instant, être assise, au milieu de cette pièce, et une pleine sérénité ma envahie. Je vous remercie pour ce moment magique 🙏 J'admire ton travail Òlafur Arnalds, ta musique m'inspire 🥰

I’m so grateful for your music, it brings me a lot of peace as I do my breathing practice, enabling me to go to deep places in my body which need healing. And I love the sunrise sessions where we can see all the musicians and their dedication and passion too. Such beauty 🙏

The last peice is pure art thank you for all the musicians ❤

That first song is so sad I'm going to break! 💔
