Ólafur Arnalds - Zero
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Zero is one of the songs from 'some kind of peace' that I cherish the most, especially due to the fact it serves a very significant purpose on the record as a whole. It represents the lowest point of the album journey, but it’s also the moment when everything starts to turn around - a reminder of the contrasting struggle and hope we all find within ourselves and our relationships.
some kind of peace

I have functional Neurological disorder. It was caused by severe trauma. And your music has helped me in ways that I cannot fully explain. No words are adequate enough. Your music is bringing me back to myself the one person I lost and needed the most.
WOW!! Music is so powerful!
Wow
@@wolfpackvisualmedia9688 it is so incredibly powerful
🌸🌿💗
Wow... This is truly beautiful, I wish you my best... You know I Have a aunt that is in a dificult time, you give me an idea... I hope works...
Thanks for share with is your experience.
The cinematography on all your music videos are beyond words.
Such a great work every time
Because it's from Iceland & they are geniuses!
bro 🤯
Yeah... Its truly about art, the song n visual
Totally agree!
I have been a filmmaker for many years and i can safely say...this a masterpiece.
Never seen something like this before.
It's amazing, like a beautiful journey and relationship ❤️
@Cüneyt Şenkal Watch the Valtari entries, Sigur Ros. There was an entry with similar choreography. Its just as much an impeccable masterpiece as this is.
@@j.c.m5168 dude not the choreography :) video itself.
@Cüneyt Şenkal ..... yeah. Apparently you still didn't watch what I recommended or you'd realize that was a dumb response. Lol
I adore you, my sweet Ólafur... you have healed my heart in unimaginable ways...
Ughhh same. I love him so much
O mesmo acontece comigo, quando triste basta ouvir sua música.
💙Incredibly lovely🎼👒💖
Word!
I’m such a huge fan of his. I can’t even find the right words to express how I feel from his music. My life has been full of so much grief and severe trauma. I’m physically crippled now because of it. And this particular video and song. Water is the only place I am free from my body. And that’s what it looks like in the video is dancing underwater. Omg 😭😭😭 so breathtaking and heartbreakingly beautiful 🥲
The light and shadows are like being under water...
Ohh it's true :0
came for the humans dancing, stayed for the light & shadows dancing
interesting idea
I lost my husband two years ago to a fatal heart attack. We fell in love in a forest. This video illustrates our 39 years of marriage. I wish I could have carried him on my shoulders more. Thank you for this and all of your music.
so sorry for your loss. you literally have me in tears here. sending you love and healing.🤗 I pray you re OK...
He will be always by your side, I’m sure.
❤️
Wow .. that actually made me cry.
I'm sorry for your loss .. but true love never dies .. especially, for those of Faith in Christ whose promise of Eternal Life is like no other 'religion'.
Hey. Watched this again..and thought of you. Sending love. Hope ur OK.🤗
❤🙏❤️
"Our love isn't perfect but we don't give up on each other." I believe that was the message of this work of art.
This.. This makes life a more peaceful place to stay.
Like in the most beautiful dream ever lived ... Outstanding made ... 😽😽🤗♥️🙏
I'm glad that now 1 million have experienced this soul touching beauty
This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen. Thank you Olafur.
Colours, play of shadows, dynamics between movement and stillness.. Music and silence...Absolute masterpiece! Thank you!
I saw this almost a year ago and was speechless. I've been searching it ever since but had no idea what words to use... I'm ecstatic to have found it again. Stunning. The dance, like a conversation. The lights, like being underwater. The scary forest, portrayed as a place of comfort. The music... like water for the soul
This is not only the craft all composers should aspire to, it is also the feeling of hope that all of us should aspire to
This music and video is a five minute masterpiece. Thank you all for this. 🙏
This is Something Else 😵🙌🙌
Man, just that one shot that begins at 4:11.. the light washing down the trees in the background makes it seem like he's ascending, carrying them both upwards, until the shot widens and puts them back on the ground. Such a dreamlike feeling..
Astonishing. Olafur must be so proud of everyone who has contributed to this piece of art. Sublime
After years of dancing to Olafur's music in the Contact Improvisation community... finally a music video with Contact Improvisation! I am in bliss
The most beautiful music video ive seen so far this year! Beautifully chorochraphed, majestic environment, pure facial expressions and excelent job on the lighting.
The LIGHTING!!!❤
A very metaphoric moment when she becomes his shoulders. And he thus elevates her over himself and allows her to finally connect with its nature
❤️
♥️♥️
I will always have a special predilection for content recorded at night. When people collect themselves and go to the places where things happen together with the people we fully trust, surrounded by a dim but threatening light, a deafening silence, a vulnerable confidence.
the colors are amazing.....I will absorb these as an influence.
I’ve never been able to see choreography or dancing as anything more than moving to music. But this choreography has actually allowed to see a story in the performance and its truly beautiful. I don’t know what they were trying to portray, but I saw a story of a relationship from when they first meet, through sickness and caring for one another and holding each other up, but ultimately they truly move as one and rarely have any distance between them. Almost like watching birds fly together. Again, just a beautiful performance to an already deeply moving piece of music.
Extraordinary lighting design. Reminds me of that shadow scene from the movie 1917
I hope some day I'll watch this without pause... because everytime my tears bluring this masterpeace visuals.
Your music is medicine for my life 🥰🥰🥰love from Mexico 🇲🇽
Olafur, i know you are reading this, this is so beautiful, I love it so much, you don't imagine how much you touch my soul with this masterpiece, thanks for being you, and thanks for showing me this beautiful world of music.
Love, Ricardo De Santiago,
P.D. keep going plase.
This is by far the most beautiful music video I've ever seen! 🌿
Getting chills throughout whole song, just everything from cinematography to the last note all is so peaceful and pure. Ólafur you are a musical genius.
Holy mother of god!!
I believe true art is meant to speak to the soul without necessarily uttering a word. This to me is a perfect example of true art. As the notes play, it's almost as if you picture them dancing in perfect harmony; and the dancers in this video did a perfect representation of that. And as the dancers move, it's almost as if they are communicating with the audience saying, "It might be zero hour right now, but do know that it's always darkest before dawn. " This is a beautiful masterpiece Olafur.
So true...that at the lowest points that something turns around...even when something dies, something else is born. Such poignance in your music and thoughts as always Olafur....Thank you
I was scared before I realized it was some beautiful intimate contact choreography. Your work is stunning and moving, really charming. Thank you.
A l écoute de ce morceaux mélancolie et souvenir d un amour perdu ds la tristesse tout reviens tout remonte à la surface
4:50 - now That! was outstanding.
I only found you recently. I needed to make a decision about the world I want to create around me and that's one full of beauty and the music you bring into it is the soundscape I'm turning to more. Takk
Your music is a beautiful escape as always Olafur...and with that ethereal landscape and choreography...you’re immediately transfixed in a fast paced world.
Lovely. The video was captivating also and I don't normally like video music. Very healing. Nice one.👍😎
The song is good. . . 9/10 . . . to me. The lighting, dance, and environment in tune to the song make it . . . 11/10 . . . to me. A beautiful song if just heard but when watched it has only a handful of contenders.
magistral
I've gone through good times and hard times with my husband but no matter the troubles we go through and the hard ship he experience and the hardship i experience we come back together as man and woman. in my heart i know we are as one, i fall and he picks me up, when he falls i pick him up for we are one with two hearts but in this time and universe, we will cherish ever lasting love because god brought us together. we have to embrace each other and become stronger human beings, our childeren are our gifts in life and nothing can ever take that from us, so in this moment we will learn, love and have compassion in everything we do, everything we say and everything we feel will always be one. for love is ever lasting i want to not die a lone, i love you until my very last breath.
sweet beautiful
This video absolutely represents how a relationship works. It's the best video I've ever seen. :)
I just watched this video, yet I don't know what I just watched. But I do know it's good, very good, amazingly good. The music, the forest, the lights, the dancing - something new to me in that combination. Thank you very much indeed for the video!
How the fuck can 18 people dislike this? Have they no idea how much time, effort, dedication, passion, skill and time it’s taken to make something as achingly beautiful as this? Congratulations to Olafur and the whole team behind this, it’s sensational. Wow.
Nevertheless! LANGUAGE, pleease . . . .
Apologies.
I don’t even understand how millions and millions and possibly billions do not know who he is. No one I know knows him. His music is my life. I’m such a fan of his. I have Functional Neurological Disorder caused from severe trauma throughout my lifetime. His music is helping me find my way back to myself 😢💕🙏
@Hybrid - agree 100%
"The lips of wisdom are sealed except to the ears of understanding." Some choose to see with their hearts, some with their minds. But if your mind's eye is blind, if your heart is of stone, how can you appreciate such piece of art? You cannot. That is why some people dislike this, because it is not within the power of everyone to internalise such sublime level of art.
Emotional overload. What a beautiful & heartfelt piece. So moving. 😭
Ólafur Arnalds means pure art.
By far, this son is my actual favorite song, I feel like it's a love song, directly and deeply connected with your soul, Olafur, you are a great inspiration to me, I hope you read this one day, I wish meet you one day.
You are the best.
What a beautiful piece... The music is beautiful. The dancers are beautiful, as well as the way they move and their symbiosis. The cinematography and the way the light moves with and around the characters. It shows there are struggles in love, but there's also play and support. It's a peaceful but strong music and video. Thank you for this.
This forest is so beautifully enchanting. I want to dance in it too! 🥰
Surreal in a way that assigns new layers of meaning to our known reality, wonderful work!
Just beyond words, so why am I trying?! Thank you for having the brilliance, vision, imagination and artistry we all desire.
First comment... I love this kind of deep music.. 🤗
Regards from algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿
