I'm listening to this while my parents are fighting downstairs. It gives me a sense of comfort.
secret rose i think youve just given me my gcse dance theme thankyou so much for commenting this
though you comnented about a year go... yet, i wish you get through life fine.
my parents fought often too. It must be scary for you to hear them argue. Hope you have someone you trust that you can talk to. those emotions can be hard to process alone. happy you know the power of music to comfort
Share it with them
Hold on. You'll live your life when the time comes.
love this song. it's like being in a warm and comfortable bathtub
idk, thinking of whales maybe :P
@@gergelyadamhorvai3020 Like I'm with a whale, travelling La Seine in Paris, but I end up in a bathtub and speakers playing this music. What a way to capture a perfect bath time.
The composer is deep and most importantly humorous - I guess he would love these comments and yours espec..@@Delicate_Elephant
It's a dance between two lives, one consistent and one passionate. First alone, but not lacking, just there. Then twirling with utter wholeness with the violins added in. It tells a story if you look at it that way
❣️Beautifully, ✍️❣️💜💙🧡💛💚
This song reminds me of my mom, she loved this song very much. May peace be upon her.
Thanks for creating such a beautiful song.
I heard this song when I was a kid, and I just cried and smiled. I love this song
i ve been looking for this song for 5 years! oh god... my heart is melting
this song has helped me when I struggled with anxiety a lot, it always helped me through panic attacks and general stress. I want to get the title tattooed with a semicolon to always remember that little bit of light
10 years later, still as beautiful. Captures its memories so well-
This is truly a gift and so eloquently composed
I saw olafur perform live last night, and it was the most incredible experience. It was absolutely beautiful if you ever get the chance to see him live, then do it !
beautiful on a lot of levels
I have to say this bathtub song is one of my favorite! Went to the live concert in Amsterdam it was amazing!
This song is so beautiful. It makes me feel like I'm floating away in the clouds.
If someone asks me for something redeemable in humanity, music is the only pure and real thing I can think of.
Andy B Hmm, what about Ghandi, or the people out their fighting for their freedom?
Daniel King Self interested.
Andy B Because creating sound vibrations for ourselves to listen to *isn't* self interest.
Fedas it's more than that, it's expression
Andy B Nazis committing genocide against an entire race of people is also a form of expression.
Do you see that smoke?
That's life. It keeps changing colors, direction, patterns.
It's perfect.
Don't you wish it never stopped moving to the right of the screen?
I just learned from your performance at the Sydney Opera House (SOH) that you made this song for a bathtub commercial. It doesn't matter the inspiration or if you have played thousand of times, it is a beautiful song, keep playing it in different environments. The SOH performance was amazing. Takk for your music!
the tenderness of the soul...
This song makes me want to buy a bath tub
Follow your dreams of owning a bathtub.
embrace your desires
Get clean.
And swim with whales too? 😂
i don’t remember writing this
A decade later and I still keep coming back
I was 19 when I first heard this. Still means the same today. Music is timeless
Ever since the release of this song my father has always played it. I never thought much of it but going back and listening to this song has awakened memories I never new existed. This song has so much power in each note that it comforts me through the hardships in life. Truly a amazing song.
bathtubs. inspiring songwriters since 3300 BC.
I'm in awe. The whole song just felt like a hug, and a whisper that everything was going to be okay.
Simple things are the most beautiful. And it is so much beauty in the world...
You know...sometimes I feel like -- I was born with a leak..and, any goodness I started with just -- slowly spilled out of me...now it's all gone...and I'll never get it back in me...
Life is a series of closing doors, isn't it?
+Chris Quiocho
It is, but let's not forget that it is also full other doors, ones that opens right in front of you, like opportunities, if you choose to look at them.
I have once heard: when something ends, something else begins.
Farewell
Think of it as a series of revolving doors.
You go round and round in one, then move onto another.
You can always have a fresh start :) 🌱
No. Life is a giant canvas. You may percieve the picture as a closed, door, but you musn't forget that no matter how hard it seems, you can always paint over it.
Think of yourself as a lone cloud. Sure, you end up leaking out all the substance within you, but you also are able to slowly regain it again. In time, you will fill full again, only to repeat the cycle. Find solace in knowing that each phase is only temporary.
maybe you leak goodness so those around you who are in need absorb your gift.
I cried, thank you. I love this song!
I opened this video up just to listen to the music and not for the video itself but when it started I couldn't look away, it's a piece of art in itself.
Whenever most people say the word "music" It brings thoughts of beats, lyrics, catchy tunes and crowds of cheering people. but not with me. when i think of music, i think of a special, warm feeling growing inside of you, creating happiness through melody and beauty. This song is music. and it creates warmth in my soul.
This song reminds me of bathtubs
+upesupernova He must be so inspired by the beautiful Icelandic bathtubs...
So confused by the weird bathtub comments lol WHERE?
Listen to the kexp concert version if you want the full explanation
I'd buy a Icelandic vintage luxury bathtub on the strength of this beautiful elegant tune ^_^
This should be teamed up with some Raymond Briggs animation ...
i'm crying. thanks
This is the only song that could make me smile, cry, laugh, and thinking about life at the same time. God, Olafur is a genius.
Thank you Olafur Arnalds for sharing this with us. I cry from the inside everytime
If I could have a visualization for Winamp looking like that I would be so happy. Wow.
Beautiful
not as you
I discovered this song when it just had a few dozen views. I listen to it every now and then, but wow 1.5 million views is amazing. Great job Mr. Arnalds, please continue to make amazing music.
So beautiful. I'm CRYING right now
مازالت هذه المقطوعة تعبر عن الكثير من الكلام الذي يصعب البوح به..
Reported for terrorism!
Wow, he must be so inspired by bathtubs
i was listening with a book when i 14 years old. Another level and emotion.
What a beautifully muted piano tone. Piano and strings are such a match made in heaven. The emotive power of simplicity never fails to impress me.
So beautiful, so perfect, so delicate!
Bravo, bravo, maravilloso, toca mi corazón, amo el metal, pero también lo clasico y este tipo de musica tan llena de sentimientos y emociones.
I showed this my girlfriend 12 Years ago - we are still together and reminds me at our first days, thank you so mutch!
this and sigur ros... makes me wanna move to iceland.
You should see the bathtubs they have in Iceland
@@ximono okay, I came here to make a bathtub comment amd now shall spend way too much time scrolling through the comments in search for the bathtub effect 😂
stupendo.....
i listened to this song when it had 8k views... now it has millions of views! I'm so happy - Art is sometimes valued
Love the clip.
Hilarious that this song is originally written for a bathtub commercial, most people don't know that.
Every fan that ever attended a concert or saw a live show on youtube knows that.
That's OK, it means soo much more to me.
can you send me link of that ad. ? or name ?
@@TEARFULL it ended up getting rejected irrc
At exactly the 40sec mark, this brought tears to my eyes for some reason. What an amazing piece of music with such a simple visualisation.
It's amazing what the notes in music can create in the human soul. The fifth "unknown" element of relating without words or exchange...it just is. Choral and chamber music can also have the same [intentional] affect.
I now now run this on a loop as I meditate. And at nights that I can't sleep. I am HIV+ and this brings me such inner peace.
I thank all who contributed to this production and know it has reached my soul here in Texas.
I love this style. At times the music reminds of the works of Natasha Nightingale
I'd have bought a bathtub if they'd used this
Everything is connected on some level. Sounds, color, light, feeling.
one of my most favorite bed-time music!
abi çok iyi yaaaaaa....
What kind of bath up has this beautiful sound?
this song makes me feel calm and just let me breathe for a second in this stressful world…
Gorgeous piece of music, genuinely makes you feel like warm and fuzzy inside.
This is something Ethereal.
If this song was inspired by bathtubs, I wonder what bathtubs look like in Iceland.
Thanks to this comment, I now know they look seamless and super minimalistic.
rare, for one thing; highly prized as a result
How just gentle strokes of piano and weeping violin can just be a perfect combination!!!
ua-cam.com/video/wGgm-cZo8Wg/v-deo.html 🎵😊
It's so charming, pure, eloquent. Now I know who has synesthesia feels.
He must have been so inspired by all the beautiful Icelandic bathtubs!
This song is so incredibly wonderful, calming and soo touching.. I really love all of your work Olafur..You're amazing..!
I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia".
If you've got time, listen to their "New album teaser".
Some of the most breathtaking music I heard since a long time..
Don't get me wrong..I don't want to spam, but I just think that good music needs to be shared..
Seriously one of the prettiest songs ever.
watching the video, it's like the piano tones control one stream of colour, and the string control the other, and it's like the stream controlled by the piano is dying without the strings accompanying it, but when the strings kick in every thing goes nuts, and i know they are 2 orbs emitting colour, but i really get a sense of joy from seeing everything come to life in those moments..
This is amazing! HAHAHAHAHA about the bathtubs! Cheers for a great night Olafur at the Sydney Opera House.
Didn't he say in one performance he wrote this song for a bathtub commercial?
Saw this one last 2009. Forgot about this since.. Fast forward to present - been looking for this music video for 3 days now and boom! Whew! Still perfect! Cheers!
I'm still loving this soooo much. Leaves me so warm.
thankyou bathtubs...aaahhhh :)
Love this song-so beautiful. I only just 'discovered' Olafur a few weeks ago and he has inspired me to record some piano music which i have just put up on youtube for the first time. Would be most grateful for any feedback or support
nice work, definitely getting the olafur vibe from your olafur song!
The real olafur would be proud
+Varian Aston - sweet song
never have i been so astonished in my entire life..for 3 minutes and 37 seconds ....spectacular...both visually and audibly
you can feel yourself floating with the smoke.. beatiful
pure motion
this song doesn't make me think of bath tubs, more like a shower....... maybe that's why it wasn't used..
Ólafur Arnalds - Ljósið (Official Music Video)
Loved this for year and years! And never will stop loving it! Thanks that u make this pease of art!
A friend showed me this back in 2009. I listened to it a few times but then forgot it. I couldn't for the life of me find it until last year, 2020, a co-worker put on a random playlist and I recognized it within the first couple notes. It was magical. Now it's saved in my YT watch later list
Wow, anyone know what visualizer that is?
Well, actially, this has been done before. You can even download the code en execute it for yourself. (my advise). It eunfolds it`s beauty, when the code is calculated in real time and your screen gives you the most of it, without any encoding related rediction on sound and video. (Go at least, for 1080 resolution anything else spoils so much of it. Execute it yourself, if your maschine can take it.)

sad, very sad song
It's a special kind of sadness which isn't that sad.
The sadness is caused by our (illusional?) feeling of beeing seperated from (our own) divinity.
It's amongst the highest, purest songs I know of.
So in the end it's not sad at all. It's unspeakable good piece of music.
Thank you so much for it, Ólafur.
If you enjoyed this I get a similar feeling when listening to Ezio Bosso's 'Clouds, the mind on the wind' really gorgeous piece this is amazing though, hits the spot.
It's more lonely than sad, but it's a peaceful loneliness.
That's what I feel too..
It's the feeling when you can't buy a new luxurious bathtub.
When I come across a good work of art, I understand that there are people who can think and feel deeply in the world, and I am very pleased that my heart is filled with peace. However, it is a great chance for all of us to be able to listen to these beautiful works that can be produced by high intelligence and virtue.
Such a raw and innocent song! One of my favourites now. Thank you Olafur
With what program is this made?
Olaf van de Kraats
He uses Ableton Live for most of his performances. Is imagine that his music is mastered using a similar software.
Piano v2.32, Viola v3 and Violin v1.01
I don't think anyone else is here because of CardlinAudio....but if you are then...hayyyyy.
nayyyyy :D
i am!!!!!!! hahaha greetings all the way from slovakia :)
haayyy!!!!!
Tjtjandej I am. Hey.
I always listen to this song and see your comment every time, I'd like to thank you. Today, I needed to see that.
close your eyes and you will feel yourself floating with the smoke..
pure emotion.
thank you Ólafur
Who came here from "PressPausePlay"?
This is a happy kind of sadness...words cannot describe what the ear hears.
So soothing.
Thank you.
Luz
the colours and the whole video in combination with this melodie is wonderful. wow. words can't describe, how i feel.
Beauty... simply beauty. Thanks Ólafur!
The combination of music and colors makes me cry.
I have never seen anything more beautiful.
A weary, bittersweet reflection of a beautiful and difficult life.
I love so much this track, always relaxing. Thanks for your art!
So sweet! I just love it!!!
Just beautiful. . .
This was the first song I've heard by Olafur Arnald. It remains my favorite. Absolutely blissful.
Beautiful...just can't think of any other words...all of it...just beautiful...
How the most beautifull feellings can be decoded, with no need of words, just in sounds like these. This song thouches the deepest part of mi memories...it just touched my soul...what a sensitive artist and angelical composer
