beautiful in so many ways

this video was the first video from sigur ros back in 2000. the idea was simple. they would play their music, use iceland as their backdrop, and hired the perlan theater group, a group of actors with down syndrome from iceland. the actors were dressed like angels and allowed to just react to the music.

no expensive cars. no bling. no sex appeal. judge for yourself.



i cannot understand the lyrics as they are icelandic. perhaps you can. yet as it is, you cannot deny the range of emotions that stir inside you. all at once you want to cry, smile, laugh . . .you feel inspired, that everything will be okay, that beauty still exists in this world.

sigur ros recently releasesd a music dvd called heima. i highly recommend you buy it and get some good use out of your expensive flat screen tv's.
