I discovered this song on the Vanilla Sky soundtrack 17 years ago. I have been playing this song for my special needs daughter every night as part of our bedtime routine since she was born six years ago. This song is on a short playlist of bedtime songs and although we don’t understand they lyrics she hums herself to sleep to it every time. I just now looked for the video for it for the first time ever. There is really nothing I can say about the way I feel right now except serendipitous.

The people on 1:58 are actually married. They lived a few houses from where i worked here in Iceland. They are truly the most kind and happy people i have ever known. It was amazing to see how little they differ from any of us "normal" people. Spread the love !

In a world too often filled with snarky remarks and genuine ignorance this comment section is a blessing. It is reassuring to read so many kind words that show the depth of human compassion and respect.

My wife's just given birth to our son, and there's an ocean separating us. I'm staring at the pictures of her clutching him so close wishing hard that I were there with them, listening to this song with tears that, thank God, they're ok, and I'll have them in my arms soon.

to the person who says these people are being exploited: they are part of a dance group, and they also happen to have down syndrome. they agreed to be in, and were paid to be in, this video. and proud.

I'm not crying, it's just been raining on my face.

My little brother has Down Syndrome.. he is the most precious, joyful human being I've ever been lucky enough to know, I love and miss my little buddy so bad, this video always reduces me to silent tears and sniffles.

This song always felt like being born and dying at the same time. It has to be one of the most representative art of what being human is.

Here in Mexico, in Veracruz, there are big stoned head sculptures that belonged to the ancient civilization the Olmecas, some belive they where made to venerate important rulers, moreover they are also called baby faces due to their resemblance to a baby and it is belived that they where actually made to venerate people with Down Syndrome, since Olmecas considered people with down syndrome to be sacred and they belived that nature itself choose them and made them unique among other individuals.

This is probably the most beautiful comment section I’ve ever read. I just want to come on here and say this song changed my life when I was 13 years old. I’m 25 now, I was really going through a rough time at 13. I use to listen to this with my headphones and feel better instantly, like I wasn’t in my body and I was connected to something much greater than anything I could imagine. Looking back and thinking of it makes tears come to my eyes.

I had was listening to this in my car when I picked up my Dad from his chemo therapy (second time), It was then, while listening to this that he was going to leave me soon and I quickly came to terms with that at that moment too. He passed at 60 years of age. I miss his wisdom.

Can't believe I've gone my whole life without hearing this. Love to whoever is reading this. Namaste. 🌍❤️🙏

Gosh, i still remember the exact moment when i first saw this video on MTV in 2000 or so. I was thirteen or fourteen, still living in my old childhood house here in northern Italy, during a boring and lonely winter afternoon after i had just finished my homeworks, comfortably collapsed in our big, light blue living room sofa. That was elevating. Never stopped remembering that particular episode every now and then.

Never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Quite literally one of the most beautiful pieces of music that exists.

I watched this video during an extreme bout of self loathing and mental illness, while on LSD, and it taught me to love myself in a way that changed the course of the rest of my life

I love comment sections like this one.

This is it

I just cried uncontrollably throughout the duration of this, I was thinking about my childhood best friend from highschool who took their life a few years ago, I felt a deep mourning but didn't feel low, as I wept and warm tears fell down my cheeks my heart felt lighter and lighter as I felt more connected to my friend who had passed.

MTV voted this video one of the greatest videos ever made.

My best friend died of Hodgkins Disease in 2001 listening to this song…his last words were, “it’s so beautiful”… This song just tears me up, every time.

This video makes me feel a lot more than I can describe.

The theme music to heaven.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyways.What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity,happiness, and joy in the simple things, some may think you're simple minded. Be happy anyways.The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the end, it was between you and God. It was never between you and them anyways.

When I first watched this video 11 years ago, I couldn't properly appreciate it. It scared me a bit, I guess. Then my niece was born and I had to deal with the reality of Down Syndrome in my family. After a long process of personal development, I come back to this video and realize it was just too heart-felt, wholesome and beautiful for the guy I was in those years.

That deep cosmic wash of reverbed distorted bowed guitar at the beginning....is just insane. That's seriously one of the most transcendent pieces of music/sound ever put to tape. Always love when Sigur Ros would dive into a more shoegaze sound. They do it so well...but no where near enough lol. I'd kill for an entire SR album of nothing but shoegaze-centric tunes.

Beautiful Boy brought me here. I almost cried when I listened to it for the first time in one of the trailers, then I cried in the scene where it appears and now I'm here crying again

Working with special needs people, I find this video absolutely breathtaking.

My word...This is so beautiful it actually hurts...

Ich habe das Video 1999 im TV gesehen. Ich war sofort im Bann...Seit 25 Jahren zähle ich Sigur Ros zu meinen Lieblingen. Live sind sie unfassbar gut!

Thanks, guys, for sticking a commercial in the middle of this. I was enjoying it way too much.

This reminds me of a person with downs that I know. He's such an innocent guy. That's what's beautiful about these people. They don't know any evil.

I found this CD during a particularly hard time in my life. I remember: $3.59, I was always so shocked; Less than $4 to save a life. Less than $4 to keep someone going on their second shift of the night alive. I've long since burnt the disc itself out and it won't read anymore however I still come back to this song specifically when times are tough. I don't know why this song just makes me break down and get out all of the darkness but damn, I'm glad it does; the amount of experiences I would have missed and the people I wouldn't have met.

Back one year later. Nice to see the comments between then and now. Gives me hope for humanity. We might make it after all....

Beautiful Boy, the movie brought me here 💛 #timotheechalamet

this is one of the most b eautiful video/songs i have ever heard and watched...Really amazing! I am moved beyond words.

after 13 years...i can't understand why this music make me feel weightless. awesome Sigur ros, like allways.

Caught me off guard hearing this in Eurovision Song Constest: The Story of Fire Saga.

Just turned 22, listening to this song reminds me of my childhood and how quickly my life is starting to go by, I’m cherishing every moment of my life ❤️

When I discovered this band I was 17 years old and my mind blows! It changed my musical taste. I will be always grateful to this great band.

What pains me most is I will never be as happy as the people in this video seem to be.

All I can do is repeat what everyone else has said. Their songs bring me to tears because they unlock an immortal humanity inside of me.

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER

A few years ago, I bought my brother the nirvana bleach for a few dollars, it turned out that it was just the case, the album was from another band, with nothing on the record with what appears to be a baby / alien in a fetal position. I listened to it several times and it was nice, I never knew the name because Google never identified the track, until now that years later I find this track, which has given me the name. it is something crazy I have unexpected 🧐🍷 This is a masterpiece!

it makes me really think about what the important things in life when when i see how innocent and care free these souls all are, god bless them

I could watch this a thousand times and still have tears running down my face. Never grows old. This video encompasses the powerful force of unabashed joy and love of humanity. We all should be moved to be more compassionate and accepting. This is truest form of art.

This music is the best gift to the soul. Takk!

Here’s still here in 2020 👽 I remember the first time I heard this song, it was 9th grade and I absolutely fell head over heals for this band. This is one of my top favorite bands 🙏🏼😇

I discover this song listening to a podcast while walking throught the landscapes of Iceland. I will never forget that moment.

These people truly are children of God. Their joy is beautiful. Their love is pure.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful music that this world offers us.

This is the most beautiful piece of art i've seen in my life! since the first time i heard it on french radio nova i'm captured by your music! i worked with down syndrome kids and always felt that we should learn from them,their happiness for simple things we forgot long time ago.you really,really made me happy with this!thank you!

I heard this song somewhere once, and don't remember where. Funny finding it again by accident...I didn't know it was Sigur Ros. Hearing it with this beautiful video is turning me into a heart shaped puddle. I wish the world could all be as tender and intelligent as this music.

J'ai découvert ce titre grâce à la diffusion de celui-ci avant le début du concert de Mylène Farmer. (Tournée Nevermore 2023). Au début je croyais que c'était la voix de Mylène qui disait " Tu es où?" car pour chaque nouveau spectacle on cherche d'où elle va arriver sur scène . Ce titre est planant, j'adore ! Merci Mylène de nous l'avoir fait découvrir.

I heard this song on the movie beautiful boy about a father and son facing addiction. It helped me to go get help for others and understand what I and many others have gone through..

Anyone who is not touched by the purity and love of that song - and the video, has no heart. Pure beauty.

Listen to this music only by headphones. Love from Georgia

I found this via Shazam app while I was watching season two of CSI. I always keep the app handy when I watch tv. Many times, the soundtracks on different shows touch my heart, and I love being able to learn the names and add them to my playlist

For a song thats about birth it always feels very sad. When I hear it I cant help but to think about loved ones that arent here anymore. Beautifully written and hauntingly catchy

Saw this music video on much music's top 100 greatest music videos of all time while staying in a cabin about 4-5 years ago, the day before my sister's wedding. Couldn't remember what it was called for the longest time, searching for a couple years with no luck. Then a couple years ago I got really into sigur ros, and finally found this song. Brings back so many memories every time I listen to it, even now. So glad I got into this wonderful band and finally found this song...

Recuerdo que escuché esta canción por primera vez hace 12 años, durante una noche muy triste. Sin saber quiénes eran. Esa noche triste, con esta canción de fondo, me invadió una pena infinita. Hoy la vuelvo a escuchar, 12 años después, y solo quiero abrir las puertas de mi corazón y llorar en paz. I remember hearing this song for the first time 12 years ago, during a very sad night. Without knowing who this music band was. That sad night, with this song in the background, an infinite pain invaded me. Today I listen to her again, 12 years later, and I just want to open the doors of my heart and cry in peace.

For years fan of this song, just because of the fantastic music. I never knew there was such a beautiful videoclip with it.

Beautiful boy brought me here and can't stop crying with this

I can't believe this album is nearly 20 years old already, where has the time gone? I remember borrowing the CD from my best friend and looking up the lyrics/translations online (pre-Google) like it was yesterday

Never heard of this band until I took a really long car ride and listening to NPR.... Thank God for that interview... I love this music and it came into my life at the perfect time... Maybe that's what it's all about. Peace, love to all

makes the world seem like such a beautiful and hopeful place.

this was posted 3 months after the time I was born and my dad has always shared this song with me since I can remember. Every time it plays I have to hear it twice because the first time It lets all the sadness out but the second time I feel peace, deliverance, and freedom. I only pray that this song becomes more spread out and the beautiful souls of this world can enjoy the emotional/spiritual deliverance in which I rejoice in.

First time i listened this song when i was attending a concert by Mylene Farmer in Bordeaux July 2023, they played this song during the pre-show! I've been trying to search this song since then and found it by asking Siri. so happy to be able to listen again and again!

I don't understand anything but it's been a week and I can't stop listening.

The love syndrome:) Honestly this has to be the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen from a song and music video:)

Wow. This is magnificent. I find the two lead characters in this video to be so beautiful. Definitely one of the most stunning and moving, touching, things I've ever seen and heard.

Played this song repeatedly while traveling in Iceland with my son last year. We did a tour of the hot springs (Geosea, Sky Lagoon, Krauma etc.) in winter. The happiest I've ever been and may ever be.

This is one of my all time favorite songs and videos. Such pure and beautiful souls.

Yes! This is that song I was trying to remember. My old roommate would play this over and over for hours. Great sound. So pure.

i cant believe this has only 2m views after 14 years. This is a masterpiece

I absolutely love this video. I haven't listened to this song , or even Sigur Ros in a long time. Such an amazing experience to rediscover.

Two years ago, we had this song play while we took our wedding vows.

Just beautiful - everything about this is perfect.

Just look at that beauty at 2:30 and 3:23. I mean really, these two are sublime. I don't know what happened after this amazing clip but I sure hope they're together as they have such love and chemistry. Gosh what a clip. Their embrace at the end...gosh, we'd all wish we had that level of love. Urgh...if only hey.

I always remember with this song to my grandmother who gone 2 months ago. I love it and i love her so much. Rest in pace.

A moment of silence for the poor souls who haven't yet been exposed to this song. Mother Nature sent it to me through the radio waves one early early morning while I was driving home from work crying because my crush at work liked a crazy coworker instead of me 😅 I'll take this song over him any day

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ― Mother Teresa

Not really sure why, but this song always brings a tear to my eye. It’s so beautiful.

I first heard this song 15 years ago at 3:00am after a big night out partying. The film clip left me in tears, the emotion was uncontrollable. It struck me to my core, it made me think of my special needs brother, and what a true gift he is in my life.

I cannot watch this without smiling and crying. This video needs more comments.

I don't want to be exaggerated !!! but this music video is of sublime beauty! it's in my top! 100 of music videos from the last century! and the music is timeless! when it is performed with this melodic beauty that only the Sigur Rós were able to perform! PEACE! from Portugal to Iceland! :)

Beautiful ....... I'm crying.

Wow love coming back to this now and again, the song that got me into them many years ago when I saw their performance on mtv thinking ‘did I just witness a guy playing an electric guitar with a bow’ that is literally out if this world music. Its still one of their rawest and most touching pieces!

This is so so beautiful. Thank you to the band for being so talented but most of all, for making my life so wonderful with your music !!1 ... This band takes me to a place where there's nothing but peace and happiness !!!

So incredible how music brings back memories of my youth. Young wild and free. Such an incredible feeling. Time flies. There is a moment for everything in life. Peace and love.

heaven is on earth. weve been in the garden eden the whole time. tell a friend

This is the most powerful, majestic but at the same time ethereal song I have ever heard

Did you know that in Jewish Orthodoxy, people with so-called down-syndrome are believed to be re-incarnated saints? because they can do no wrong or commit sin in that form. My Rabbi always stands up out of respect when someone with so-called down syndrome comes to pray at our synagogue.

Who unlikes something so beautiful?

I was completely and utterly mesmerised by this audiovisual work of art. Really I can't think of a moment a song and a video combined made me stop in awe.

I have been listening to this song and this band for years now but unbelievably didn’t see this music until today….. such a beautiful thing to see these beautiful human beings in this video!! God made them so perfect, loving and pure of heart ❤️

DOM season 1, episode 1 on Amazon Prime brought me here. Only made it through the first few measures before I was irresistibly compelled to do a Google sound search. My eyes welled up with such joy and appreciation of our modern technology for allowing me to find this masterpiece, our humanity, and the soul of music that can carry and spread the depths of our emotions. Haunting. Unforgettable.

Une Mélancolie post-nevermore m'a amené ici....

Awwww… some people have referred to people with Down syndrome as angels on earth. This is such a beautiful video. Just full of so much love, wholesomeness and joy.

this track just melts my heart in the best of ways

Beautiful! Who’s here after “Fire Saga” ...
