We've updated the video to 4k - enjoy!

I watched Sigur Rós put an audience into the throes of rapture at Coachella 2001, their first North American performance. None of us knew who they were, but when they’d finished, thousands of us were left stunned, speechless, weeping, at peace. I’ve never seen anything like it. These are not songs, they’re spells.

"We don't cry because something is sad, we cry because something is more beautiful than we expected it to be" - Alian De Botton

The most beautiful video ever. Makes me cry that my mum is gone, but appreciate every day my 88 year old dad lives amongst us

This may be the greatest music video ever made. It makes me weep for my lost childhood. Lost... but not forgotten.

If any of you you get a chance to see Sigur Ros live, please...please don't let it go past you. I guarantee it will be one of the best experiences you will get at any live event. They will literally blow you away, and I mean that. 3 months after seeing them and I can safely say it was easily one of the best nights of my life, truly mesmerizing.

lyrics in English 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…

Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, we're afraid!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, We will fall!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. And so they came. And he pushed them. And they flew.” - Guillaume Apollinaire

If anyone has the time to read, this is what the song means to me :) When i heard this first (2015 Byron bay) was a time I was where I was very unsure of myself, my future and what my purpose was (like any insecure 19 year old lol). It was a time where I had just decided to quit university for the first time after 2 years of studying, I felt like I had hit a dead end and was anxious about what my purpose or goals were (felt I had been lying to myself) and quitting was a big decision as I wasnt sure whether dropping everything was a good idea. Hearing this song for the first time left me with a sense of longing for something and that that something felt so close yet for a while I had felt it was out of reach. Upon more listens and reading the lyrics I realised that something was, was a longing for peace at heart about existing in such an uncertain world. This song reminded me that feeling lost was okay and gave me comfort in that it was okay to be unsure of who I was. To me the glowing sun is "comfort" and that it is always never far away. It is something that we dream of but a lack of it is also a cause for our nightmares. The song reminds me that comfort is like the light that touches everything we know around us from the glowing sun, sometimes we have to wake up from our dreams and find comfort in the warmth of the glowing sun or those (people and connections) that share the world around us. Glosoli translates to a childish way of saying glowing sun and this is a reminder that even though i am getting older, these childish little fears will always be with me. Although sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and unsure of things in the present, sometimes it helps knowing that not knowing, is okay and we can find comfort in the 'glosoli' around us. 3 years on I have taken a year off to travel and now am in my second year of a new university course which I am much much happier with. Glosoli continues to be my anthem through tough times and is a continual reminder that sometimrs life is a journey through uncertainty but if its shared with those around us, we can find comfort in it. What is your glosoli? Thankyou for your music and talent Sigur Ros!

A legendary song, brings tears to your eyes every time.

What a profound affect sound alone has on human beings.

You don't need to understand the lyrics to know this song is beautiful!

Sigur Ros is like... the dreams I had when I was just a kid and wasn't able to talk and relate those dreams... Awesome band...

We cry because we all know this freedom yet we are so sold on the current "reality". We all know things are not as they should be. This video reminds us of our real past and, if you look, our future. There is a way to find this, but you have to be sincere, you have to disagree and trust your own reality. Look.

Iceland is beautiful...

I'm going to Iceland in June and this music video and band has been my inspiration for over 12 years!! can't believe I'm finally making my dreams come true :D

Grown man inexplicably brought to tears.

my god. if there was ever one song that i wish i could hear for the first time all over again, it would be this

All these comments are from years ago, well the song too is 12yrs old. And here i am discovering the band now. But it's never too late, and i just turned 18 so... i'm glad i can enjoy their music for the rest of my life

there's something so beautifully, unapologetically Western European about this video. As an Irishman there's something about it that awakens my genetic memory of my Celtic and Norse ancestors.

I could live inside the world of Sigur Rós forever!

This is one of the greatest songs ever made

Pure classic. I remembered watching this on MTV Chill Out Zone around 2006 early morning before work and I had to stay glued to the TV, because the track was so good, I didn't move, even though I knew I would be late for work. Love when it gets slowly loud, so brilliant. Very few songs nowadays have this effect on me anymore.

I just came back from ICELAND... had been waiting to go for 12 years. This was the song that started the fascination.

For everyone wanting an English translation Now you are waking up Everything seems different I look around But I see nothing at all Tie my shoes so Is she still in her pajamas? In a dream she was born I'm startled But the sun, is it her? Where is she? In here? But where are you?... Go for a walk (I go for a walk) And roam the streets Can't see a thing (I can't see a thing) And so I use the stars She runs endlessly And climbs out thus She's the Glowing Sun And comes out I awake from a dream To find my heart pounding, my hair tousled Step out in front of the bed and see filthy shoes 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...

That was an amazing video. One of the most clear depictions of childhood innocence I've seen in a long time. So refreshing to not see the idiocy that would delete the kissing as if children have no such curiosity or seeing it as sullying their innocence to have such desires, or delete the boys torching the car as if destruction cannot be innocent as well... and then at the end having them fly instead of fall is so brilliant. I hope I'm not reading too much into it, but it seemed very deep and diametrically opposed to the view most people have today of childhood being composed of nothing but ignorance, incompetence, and self-destructive motivations.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most beautiful music video ever made. I have yet to be able to sit through it once without sobbing like a child. It makes me feel things I cant quite put into words. It has something to do with a certain unspoken magic that only exists when your young. Somewhere along the way we lose it but things like this bring it all rushing back. It's heartbreaking and beautiful. Thank you, Sigur Ros and whoever directed that masterpiece. As Oscar Wilde would say- People have gone to heaven for far less.

Me and my wife finally got a chance to see them live today in Melbourne. Sigur Ros live was meditative, spiritual & absolutely powerful. There were so many emotions and feelings I could sense in those 3 hours. Stunning beyond words.

This song totally blew me away the first time I heard it. The build-up is sublime; the climax is bone-crushing and out-of-this-world: EPIC! ❤❤❤

I love this band. They can make me cry even though I have no idea what they're talking about.

Listening to Sigur Ros makes my boring life feel so extraordinary..

The moment when they just make for the cliff is probably one of the most important moments in post-rock history

it's the crescendo i tell ya,the crescendo. it gets me every time i listen to this song.i can feel myself gearing up for it and it never disappoints me no matter how many times i listen to it. one of the greatest pieces of music ever written .plus it drives my wife and kids mental which is good

My dad showed me this, I have an awesome dad...

This music video changed my life in college.

I remember laying in my bed with a girl I had a crush on in my first house ever, watching the dvd with this music video and a couple others they released on repeat all night... we laid there and admired the scenes and music all night.. it was her first time hearing sigur ros and it was such a perfect night. She was my valentine that year as well. Wish I could say more happened after that, but I moved away and we only remain friends online to this day. However, it was a perfect night that I hope to never forget. So many good times in my life have been accompanied by these wonderful musicians. Only tattoo I’ve ever gotten was their “Takk” album artwork and it has always meant so much to me, even 13 years later to this day. ❤️

Watched this a thousand times and it still makes me cry. And yes, Sigur Ros live was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen.

This video gives me chills every single time I watch it. The song is simply beautiful. Iceland sure does produce some dang good artists.

Glosoli is one of my favorite songs. Iceland is an amazing place on earth. It was my dream to visit that beautiful country and I was blessed to be there in winter. Now can’t wait to visit again in summer.

This music is so innocently beautiful you can't help but keep listening.

What i really love about them is that they don't make only 2-3 minutes of a song. They make a story. They work with details. I love their music and their video. I can stay here forever.

I wanted this to be the first thing I watched in 2022. Such a beautiful song & a beautiful video. I used to play this for my students on the first day of school when I was still teaching. Here's to an amazing new year for all of us!

this kind of music is rare, unlike pop... it actually makes you feel something.

I first heard this song on my friend's MySpace page back in 2006. I have fallen in love with Sigur Ros ever since. Thanks Chad.

The build up is amazing. Feel empty as hell once the song ends.. 💔

Some musics automatically make your eyes teary... no matter how many times you've heard it.... it's one of those masterpieces...

Proof that music is universal: I don't know a single world of Icelandic but I know all the lyrics of every single Sigur Ros song and this music moves me like nothing else.

Transcendent! Seeing them perform live is on my bucket list!

Das Lied und das Video kann man nicht in Worte fassen, es ist einfach zeitlos schön.

this kids are soooooo Icelandic, they look like angels *-*

This band heals my soul. Incredibly beautiful

I'm watching this because I'm going to Iceland in a few days, and this video and song has made me even more pumped!

one of the best song ever written ..i must have been listening to it 1000 times since 2005

The most beautiful video and song. Sigur Ros has aided and mended me through my battles with mental illness. They are a big part of who I am today. A gift from the heavens, if the heavens do exist. I listen to them during my long ketamine infusions now. The music keeps me grounded, while not distracting with lyrics I can comprehend. I am finally going to see them live in a couple months. I will sob the entire time, I am sure. They’re so much a part of my life.

This video absolutely broke me into pieces today, in all the best ways. Such a magnificent piece of art!

I'm Japanese. Of course, I can't understand what they say, but their songs move my heart. Why?

Still beautiful in 2021!

2016 and this song is the best!!

the two favourite artists of mine are both Icelandic, coincidence? Bjork, my favourite of all time, and isjaki is my favourite song of my favourite band, Sugor Ros. Just, wow. From London with love.

It's impossible to put the thoughts I'm having right now into a brief KZfaq comment but this song and video helps me a lot with them. Thank you

This beautiful music video makes me cry so much. I used to live without fear. I used to have innocence. I used to have the simple faith of a child, and it was like I could 'fly'.

Joey brought me here, thanks man

This is the song that i decided to say "welcome" - to my son when he was born.

Sigur Ros' music is better than any therapy

One of the greatest videos ever.

You can feel the Holy Spirit when listening to this piece This is Pure Gospel

"When fears are grounded, dreams take flight." --Anon The purity and innocence that comes with youth. To be young, new, and fearful of nothing.

Shivers. Shivers every time I listen to this song without fail, man. It's beyond gorgeous.

Beautiful! This just picks me up when I'm down. As a musician (Not goanna advertise on here as music ISN'T my main job/passion, that award goes to something else) Listening to Sigur ros was what helped me write tunes. For a while I did to much music, got de motivated hated it, now that i come back here, it has reignited my passion!! Thank you Sigur Ros, you are a life saver.. I love GLOSOLI!! XXX

Сильная вещь! Каждый раз мурашки по коже.

We were in our campvan somewhere in eastern Iceland. We parked on the snow high on the mountains. The deers were very close and we were so scared but excited at the same time...in Greece there are no deers, my dear! We were looking the night sky the past few nights that we were in the country but with no luck. I think it was 1:30 and my girl fell asleep. I was alone in the front seat just looking for something that I had no clue of and eating chips. Then she woke up terrified from my screams. I was shouting "What the hell is that, please wake up tell me I am not dreamning"... at first I didn't understand. It was like huge dancing flames in the sky. After a while the whole nightsky turned green. We went outiside of the van. just hugging each other and crying of the beauty. It was so majestic. A green sky dancing above your head. Just a few days ago I broke up with that girl. We had different work-towns.I still listen to this song, think of her and of the Northen Lights and Sigur Ros... and it so happens that it all becomes a crying-salad in my head.

A beautiful song by a beautiful band.

I will never forget when I sobbed in my father's arms, thanking him, while I was listening to this song on my iPod. This is one of THE MOST powerful, important, beautiful songs ever performed and the "Takk..." (2005) album will always remain in my top 20 favorite albums of all time.

I was 6 years old when this came out. Nostalgic

Sometimes We hear the beat of a drum Calling to us Beckoning us to follow We must answer The call of the drum Taking us to places Dangerous and unknown Racing to the top of a mountain Reaching the end of the earth To the point of our understanding Mystery lies ahead Unseen, yet glorious Full of possibility We take that last leap Hoping we can fly

Sigur Rós is the kind of band whose music ALWAYS makes me feel something... Thank God I get to know them in this lifetime...

One of the most beautiful songs ever made

holy shit i wrote a poem about this song a long long time ago and never thought about it again, and then after reading over some of my old poetry i decided to watch game grumps and they mentioned this band...and here i am, full circle.. mind blown.. the grump bump provides....

This extraordinary film clip is beyond beauty and enigma. It's one of the most beautiful music clips of all time. I am, and will be, forever moved.

Don't mind me just comforting my teenage self 15 years ago that someday other people would get it and be healed by them too.... I wasn't alone even though I felt it. Love to this comment section.

It’s so heartwarming to find people who appreciate their music and we all get to enjoy and celebrate its existence together, contemplating how many things it makes us feel and astonished at how we had the pleasure of listening to it and the fact that it’s almost *alien* how gorgeous it is.

Music knows no boundaries.

This song aches of lost childhood.

The best song I've heard this year and one of my favourite songs of all time. Saying it's a masterpiece barely does it justice....

6 minutes, on the clock, a whole eternity in my eyes.

I really want to go to Iceland and listen to this song while admiring its nature.

Such a beautifully constructed song, I want to visit Iceland just so I could sit by one of the many lakes and listen to this. The amazing thing about Sigur Ros is there is nothing similar musically to them and their music just takes you to another place engaging you so strongly. Anyone else think this is their best track or anyone think they have a better one?

Some of the most powerful and beautiful music ever made and I'll stand by that for the rest of my life.

I remember first listening to this song in grade 8. That was 11 years ago. I still come back because this song has become more than just a song. I can't explain, it's just a feeling.

This is my favourite music video/song of all time… it is so beautiful x

This is the video and track I got acquainted with Sigur Ros. It blew my mind. I was sitting there in front of the TV and instantly got sucked into another world of music, freedom, phantasy, nature and a mixture of emotions and feelings! When the song came to the end, I just wanted it never to stop and keep on playing - I felt so good! Sigur Ros are not simply musicians. They are magicians that turn their music into something more - far beyond normal understanding.

I feel this entire song brings out the child within all of us. Breaks the barriers down between us. It shows its innocents and makes us kneel to what we knew as children

Probably one of the best music videos ever made. I am not usually one to even care for music videos, but their music videos are always so beautiful, both because of where they are filmed & what they are about or represent. There's only one music video this is second to, and that is their video "Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa" because it's so beautiful & sweet. It represents the sweetest love story & it has so much emotion, depth, & beauty. That video made my eyes water a bit, but that might be because I'm allergic to love stories.

The very first time I heard this song, I was completely mesmerized by its unique sound. I love how it starts off slowly and a bit dark, but builds up in intensity until it eventually explodes towards the end. It's strange, but this very song made me want to go to Iceland. After all, any country that has the ability of letting you you create such songs, should be worth a visit, right? And so it happened that in March 2018 I finally visited Iceland for the very first time. It was completely what I had hoped for: stunning landscapes, friendly population and the amazing northern lights. Can't wait to go back!

The fox shot at 3:30... Loving that exquisite little "jumpscare" amidst all of them going to sleep... I'm washed away with the amount of brilliance in this video, every time.

How come I missed such beautiful music for so many yrs :( Its simply amazing.

Одна из любимых моих композиций, как и в плане видеоряда, так и в плане музыки. Это шедевр! Однозначно.

How has so much time passed already since this masterpiece blessed us?

heard this for the first time when i saw them live. when that last section hit, i had to restrain myself from bawling. i'd never been affected by music in that way before. so cathartic.

I seen this band live in philly. One of my greatest concert experiences in my life. I say this because I’m a lifetime metal head. They absolutely blew me away.
