Jonsi's bowed guitar is one of the most beautiful sounds ever produced in modern music. It definitely inspired me to seek out and create my own unique guitar sound instead of just playing the usual blues riffs and standard tunings. I'm so glad that Sigur Ros exists.

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…
The song is dedicated to the sun🌞 the seasons in iceland are extremely different from America in their winter darkness lasts 19 hours with only 5 hours of sun light and in summer its daytime all day except for about 5 hours
its that climax 2/3rds into the song. haven’t heard any other song or band produce the feelings that this song is able to generate within me... and I’m certain others
seriously... this song has gotten me out of so many dark places and reminded me that the world is still a beautiful place... that life is still worth living....
@@Lara1717171717 the heavens know when to intervene and set the stage for something that is universally loved and on a whole other worldly spectrum.... don’t like to bring it to this basic level but it was def god at work...
Sigur Ros is a gift from the heavens. I love them so much. ❤️. I cannot wait to see them live in a couple months. I listen to them during my Ketamine infusions, which are 2 hours long. They help me stay grounded, while not interfering with lyrics. Beautiful.
i am just amazed how still people can stand facing such a powerful performance... I always went crazy at this song just because i couldn't help myself...
GRACIAS SIGUR ROS POR TAN BUENA MÚSICA ES TAN MARAVILLOSA, SON UNOS GENIOS HACIENDO MAGIA CON CADA INSTRUMENTO QUE LOGRAN TOCAR EL ALMA. POR ESO MAS MUCHAS GRACIAS ❤❤
The kick drum plays 16th notes at the end over every other bar, but it just sounds like a mistake every time I hear it. Like I know it's intentional, but it just takes away from this solid driving pulse that propels the song forward.
Well, it's Hopelandic, sort of an imaginary version of Icelandic! I know, Jonsi is not just a musical genius, he's quite the extraordinary song writer too!
One accented kick is displaced a 16th note, that’s why it has this kind of a draggy feel to it. However, I wonder why he decided to play it like this. Maybe to make the finale more impressive and straight forward. Just like a relief from the dragging.
@@DikaWibisono seeing it live really does send you into a whole other reality where the music being played washes over you and reminds you just how beautiful life is... will never forget it
Matty Bot the hit is there on the album, it just isn't nearly as up front. i think they said they recorded three layers of bass drum for the album and mic'd up the squeaky chain on an old pedal as well. live he plays two of those parts on the two kicks regularly and one with a mallet in his right hand hitting the kick as well and then a sample of the squeak. that off time hit just happens to be on the loudest of the kick sounds playing so you notice it more than on the album!
People keep liking my comment so I decided to post again. Listening to the song live and then listening to the studio recording I stand by my words. There is no off time kick in the studio song. At least not one as drastically off time on this live video which it almost takes the flow out of the song. Yes the studio recording has very faint hits on the kicks and they use all sorts of weird fancy instruments but I hear what I hear.
Sounds like the drummer is briefly touching 3/4 then back to 4/4 and it confuses me. I don't recall that before since first hearing this years ago🤷🏽♀️
I know its intentional and pretty hard thing to do, but the kick sounds so off beat for me, and this not happens in the album version. Drive me crazy! hahaha
Well, I've heard it enough times to realize that the tempo is not wrong, the drummer just wait kind of 2 secs more to play that beat twice and then he continues with the normal tempo.
This is my favorite song from my favorite artist, but the bass seems to be a tiny bit off beat sometimes. The singing is good but not as good other times. Just saying -- I hope everyone loves this song but listen to other versions if you like it.

yeaahhh..that is true...
He definitely brought it more into the mainstream... Of course Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin also utilized a bow guitar in Dazed and Confused.
@@kyleenglot9184 Pretty sure it was also used in How Many More Times and Whole Lotta Love, and probably more songs as well.
good on ya mate go for it

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…
Thank you!
Thanks for this
I imagine that right when we die, this is what it will sound like. It’s so pure and beautiful.
This song sends chills all over me, even though I don't know what it means....life is beautiful..

This one has a magic to help one survive life's storms.

The best song in the world
I cannot help but keep loving it 10 years down the line.
even Icelandic volcanos stops when sigur ros performed
José Manuel Costa When they were in Austria the rain that had been falling for hours suddenly stopped when they went on stage. Funny.
@@Lara1717171717 the heavens know when to intervene and set the stage for something that is universally loved and on a whole other worldly spectrum.... don’t like to bring it to this basic level but it was def god at work...
For me still the best SR song! So deep...
This and varua for me 👍💜
Somehow the tempo of the drum kick makes me insecure haha
Why does it sound so much straighter on the album version? Here it sounds like they slow way down on every third measure.
@@rome8180 I think it's to make you feel a dragging sensation, like something is coming but you don't know when. A sense of anticipation.
In the original record the bass drum plays just in time quarter notes
@@elcubano8843 absolutely
They’re a build up band. Emotion buildup like a epic tale sung and played. It’s perfect
It really is unnerving.

I struggle to contain the tears when I hear this song live. Like last night with just the 3 guys!
Tears are only natural with such beauty
@@robharper7390 please iilp pop o
Imperfect perfection. This is raw beauty in its purest form.
I was lucky enough to get tickets for this and it was absolutely beautiful, I spent the whole gig on the verge of tears of joy :) Never forget it.
I've watched this 19278 times
How did you keep count?
Agalloch Fan he/she means they've seen it a handful of times at most. Ok Computer is the best album of all time by the way.
That's a strange way of saying Kid A.
This is what heaven must sound like.
i am just amazed how still people can stand facing such a powerful performance... I always went crazy at this song just because i couldn't help myself...
Incredible! Love them a lot.
This is such perfection it makes me want to cry tears of pure happiness
Everytime I hear this, I wanna save the world!
I can never at the glowing, bright sun as it rises ever again after listening to a song like this.

Totaaaaalmente de acuerdo 😍
Gracias Sigur Ros ❤️
didn't understand a thing, but seems to touch the soul..!
He's Icelandic but look up the lyrics it's even more touching.
This songs is a stronghold for people on the autistic spectrum like my son, just thank you.
Sigur ros always makes the most beautiful music... ☺️

Same here. I was looking for the comment. I was wondering what was going on with the time signatures but don't recall it on other recordings.
As a musician it is hard to take the BD groove, of course is intentional but why haha
Thanks God for the Sigur Ros...
It makes you feel. Opens a well of pain inside me. It is truly beautiful.
This was a very memorable day, the BBC 6 music just dropped this set into my working day. so many thanks
bill500carphead nice profile pic
Amazing. As always.
It's hard to imagine a more beautiful human being.
Just saw them live last night at The Hollywood Bowl live.....Simply WOW!!!!!
Pretty happy that i belong to the species that made this
THIS MAKES ME WANNA LEARN ICELANDIC
Then do it!
Well, it's Hopelandic, sort of an imaginary version of Icelandic! I know, Jonsi is not just a musical genius, he's quite the extraordinary song writer too!
This particular song is icelandic
My heart just broke.
The kick drum makes you feel slightly sea sick, the queasiness like when you take off on an airplane.
simply amazing! thanks for this 6Music!
Sublime!!
beautiful
Am I crazy or is the kick drum different here than on the album version? On the album it sounds much "straighter."
Everyone here was in on something the rest of the world was missing out on.
These guys are just not from this world 👏💜💜💜
really strange kickdrum tempo
It's genuinely messing with me.

@@halt.halt.halt. i agree with u lucas, and i really like that he did it this way.
The greatest gift God has given music
I'm pretty sure hearing this live caused partial hearing loss for me but I don't regret it
Pura magia ! 🦄💫🙌👏👏👏
Amazing.....
💕🌿🌷💕 Une merveille 💕🌷🌿💕
DAMN!!
(4:00 - end) I would cry a lot if I was there
@@DikaWibisono seeing it live really does send you into a whole other reality where the music being played washes over you and reminds you just how beautiful life is... will never forget it
I think i needed to listen to this band to discover the genre i wanna play in mine.
What's up with the off time kick? That's not on the album. Kind of takes me out of the moment and flow.
that's funny because even on their show in Warsaw (Poland) it was the same "problem" ;-)
I noticed that too. It must be what they do live. It's not bad. I got used to it.

Is it just me or anybody else thinks the bass player looks a lot like Ser Davos (Game Of Thrones)?
Yeah! he has a lookalike
he has all this fingers, otherwise it would have been impeccable..
this is my dream
maravilhoso
Olha tem dois anos esse post.
Eu te achei minha amiga querida❤

死ぬ前に一度でいいから生で聴きたい
I Love You, Jonsi
ég elska þig Jonsi
I want to learn findlandes just for this band, i love their music
it's icelandic dude
Stefano Sacchelli lol, then Icelandic !
And its finland not findland
wow
The only other band to change my life as much as Sigur Ros has is The Beatles. That's saying something.
Listen to the kick drum he intentionally makes the last few kicks off beat
I know its intentional and pretty hard thing to do, but the kick sounds so off beat for me, and this not happens in the album version. Drive me crazy! hahaha
Took me a minute to figure out that the drummer was not messing up.
Doesnt sound very good though, is kinda distracting at first
Is it just me or anybody else thinks there is something wrong with the tempo ! and they meant it xD !?
+zaproud it's just you
+zaproud I can notice it too.
+zaproud There is definitely something wrong with it.
Well, I've heard it enough times to realize that the tempo is not wrong, the drummer just wait kind of 2 secs more to play that beat twice and then he continues with the normal tempo.
+MrSamisan1 yeah but sounds weird tough.

Me gusta mas con sarah brightman

What is up with the bass drum kick on this? hahaha the rhythm before the build up is so off-putting
