I saw them in Blackpool England, of all places, in the Empress ballroom with a spring mounted dance floor and huge chandeliers. It was absolutely sublime!
'Heima' means 'At Home' in Icelandic, this was part of a 'homecoming' tour after the band had been touring around the world for a while, the band basically felt a bit homesick and they wanted to play the music for their fellow Icelanders, so they held a bunch of free open concerts around different outside locations in Iceland. Lucky for us they also had someone document it all on video.
Nick and Lex - thanks for reacting to this for me :) Lots of people below already filled in the details but yes they are from Iceland (where the video was filmed). There is an entire film of the band playing all over Iceland called Heima so that's what this is pulled from. Not sure what this location is exactly but what a cool place to see them. This is such an incredible, uplifting song. And like others said, it doesn't matter what the lyrics are to be honest, it's the feeling you get from the vocalizations and music that makes you feel so many emotions. Hope you guys check out more of their stuff as they are totally worth it. Thanks again, Greg.
It was filmed in a place called Ásbyrgi in the North East of Iceland. A beautiful place, one of my favourite places in Iceland. It's a horseshoe-shaped depression and legend has it that it was formed when Slepnir (Odin's horse) touched one of its feet to the ground...
Hei! Takk fyrir! 11:11 Icelandic translation follows: Smiling Let's go in circles Lets hold hands The whole world is blurred unless you stand Drenched All soaking wet No rubber boots Running in us? Wants to burst out of the shell Wind in and excluded? of your hair I hit as hard as I can with my nose Jump into a puddle In no boots All soaking wet (soaking wet) In no boots and I get nose-bleeds But I always stand up
What a beautiful setting for a concert. This song was very good and having the video footage really added to the experience. I love the assortment of music that you two give us. Thanks!
Back in 2007 in art school a friend had this dvd, after it was just released. We went to a room with a projector and put it on. Magic. Sigur Ros had massive international success and toured the world for two years. Then they went back to Iceland and did a of tour free shows. They called it Heima, which means home.
They're sooooo fucking good live spent half the time crying. My wife couldn't go with me, neither my colleague who liked them so I asked my friend if his partner wanted to go as the only other person I knew who liked them. Was great to give the ticket to someone who would enjoy it!
Thank you so much for following up with Sigur Ros. The track that I requested wasn’t enough to show the depth of this music. And thanks for requesting the live version, Greg. It just adds to the brilliance and ambiance of this unique band. Very heartfelt. Great reaction, guys. You look immersed and happy. ✨🤪 Oh, and remember: Jonsi uses a bow on guitar - wow.
Yeah - the wonder world of Sigur Ros. Their album 'Ágætis byrjun' catapultet us into underwater worlds that were at the same time snow deserts or something like that in the late 90s. 😄 They sing in Icelandic and/or an artificial language the band calls 'Hopelandic'. So even subtitles probably wouldn't help.
Since you enjoyed this, I highly recommend getting the whole movie, entitled Heima as well. It's a mesmerizing, gorgeous and subtle masterpiece. Sigur Ros has a breadth of songs, which I usually describe in terms of their homeland (Iceland), ranging from the slow crackle of a glacier to a powerful volcanic explosion. Their music is truly informed by their land. :)
So nice . Was introduced to the Icelandic band Sigur ros about 10 years ago. And introduced to you guys today. 12/19/21.love your guys old school vide.
When u like that u are ready to listen to classic masterpieces like "Pachelbel-Canon in d" or "Bach-Air" or "Smetana-Moldau" or Händel-alla hornpipe" ...even when u think u dont like classic..there are pieces for the greatest emotions of all
They are an incredible band! Another song of theirs from the same album as this song called “glosoli” is another you need to check out. Beautiful and stunning song that always makes me feel alive and full of hope for the future :)
Why is every artist from Iceland have to be so talented? I love Sigur Ros, and I absolutely recommend that ya'll listen to a group from Iceland called Low Roar.
Sigur Ros is a top 10 band/artist. Radiohead and Primus compete for number one everyday. There are about 25 bands in my top 10 (😂😂😂) - I am not a math major. Here are about another 16 bands/artists in my top 10. Rush, King Crimson, Bjork, Social Distortion, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, Wu Tang Clan, Beastie Boys, Outkast, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Bowie, The Who, and Bonnie Prince Billy. Putting my bad math and silliness aside, Sigur Ros is one of those bands that I can play at anytime and feel satisfied. There are only a few bands that can do that for me.
Based on your musical tastes, you’re in the right place! We hope you’ve found more than a few of them on the channel for you to enjoy with us! :) Thanks for your comment!
Sigur Rose is a band from Iceland. Tom Yorke is fan. I think that place in the video is a place were they used to have a ”Ting” back in the Viking days. Or ”Thing” in English, an governing assembly of free man that later more or less involved into our modern democratic Parlamentarism.
The whole film is worth watching. You get a real insight into the band & their place within Iceland, & the world. The final show in Reykjavík is amazing.
You need to check out the music video for this song- takes it to a whole other level. Sigur Ros is IMO, as unique and talented as Tool. You can't get more magical than Sigur Ros.
Hey, the rare modern band that I love (along with Radiohead, and, you know, one or two others)! This song is GENIUS! And I also love Portishead. Lexi (or Nick), are you familiar with the Cocteau Twins?
About time - one of the best bands of the 00s. And prog by every definition. Sigur Ros is way beyond Radiohead as far as experimentation and undermining traditional song structures. This live clip from Iceland is beautiful. The language in their lyrics is Icelandic or just made up nonsensical language. You should also react to Mogwai - Hunted by a Freak off their Happy Songs for Happy People album.
Ellos son islandeses, pero inventaron un idioma de "algarabías" para sus canciones... popplagið . Una maravilla para cerrar los ojos y volar un rato... Kveikur también es brutal!! Saludos de Argentina.- th-cam.com/video/u1KrZg4y314/w-d-xo.html
Typical of Americans to not look at where this band is from.. I doubt if they know that this country is the edge of their continent, slowly opening as the tectonic plates centred there pull apart. I hope they know that Jumping in Puddles is a celebration of those older in the community of..... ICELAND..
Slowly getting into this band :). Beautiful track, makes me want more, along the lines of music from the otherside of my music tastes and genres. It makes me think you guys will LOVE "The Gathering" and "OSI" (see reaction suggestions :).
It’s a life changing experience seeing them live.
I saw them in Blackpool England, of all places, in the Empress ballroom with a spring mounted dance floor and huge chandeliers. It was absolutely sublime!
@@brookin ok that would have been great. I have seen them twice in Sydney. Both amazing shows.
@@brookin Sounds like that may have been the same year I saw them live in Wolverhampton.... It was my first, and it was unbelievable...
100% agree. Saw them during the Takk tour and still think about that night. It was gorgeous.
Oh yes..
'Heima' means 'At Home' in Icelandic, this was part of a 'homecoming' tour after the band had been touring around the world for a while, the band basically felt a bit homesick and they wanted to play the music for their fellow Icelanders, so they held a bunch of free open concerts around different outside locations in Iceland.

You seem to be missing the point THEY ARE A COUPLE. This is very important.

Very nice. It didn't matter that I couldn't understand the words. Thanks for requesting this, Greg.

The band is on tour now! If you get a chance to see them live you have to go! They are so amazing live. It is a spiritual experience.
Oh how I wish to hear this song for the very first time again! It is such an out of this world experience!

They’re from Iceland. Gotta listen to more. So many incredible songs.
Love this band!!!!
The setting is Thingvallir I think? Iceland's ancient seat of government which is by a gorge, a major geological fault line. Fantastic place.....!
Gorgeous! Waited much too long to allow myself to appreciate a band I've only heard about. Thank you, Nick, Lex and fans who requested it. D

Great! Now time to Sigur Rós Popplagið live (Heima).
Bought five of their discs based on your first reaction, including the one with this song. Lovely unique, alternative music. Tasteful.
Love this song so much. It’s beautiful and timeless.
So nice . Was introduced to the Icelandic band Sigur ros about 10 years ago. And introduced to you guys today. 12/19/21.love your guys old school vide.
Beautiful song
I'm so happy that i have seen them live. It was, WOW. When i'm old and wise, i hope that the play this song for my farewell.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL 😍 😅
Great band.
I don't speak Icelandic but it doesn't matter the music is so damn lush it speaks to my soul
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!
Sounds like a Scandinavian language to me too ...
And the Tuba lessons paid off!
Applause for Portugal!!!!
They sing in a mixture of Icelandic occasional English, and made up word sounds
When u like that u are ready to listen to classic masterpieces like "Pachelbel-Canon in d" or "Bach-Air" or "Smetana-Moldau" or Händel-alla hornpipe" ...even when u think u dont like classic..there are pieces for the greatest emotions of all
Welcome to sigur ros guys ❤❤❤❤

Great reaction to a wonderful song.
They are an incredible band! Another song of theirs from the same album as this song called “glosoli” is another you need to check out. Beautiful and stunning song that always makes me feel alive and full of hope for the future :)
This would be my dream open air venue!
I love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸
Ésta canción la conocí por un amigo hace alrededor de 12 años, ufff, y ¡me sigue gustando!
Muchas gracias por su reacción. Saludos desde México ☺️

I watch this video a lot. Joy
Out of this band, the singer, Jonsi had solo projects. Try "Go Do" and "Iraquois boy". Magic dreamlike...

They sing in Icelandic + vocal sounds the singer makes up (almost like his own language)
The whole film is worth watching. You get a real insight into the band & their place within Iceland, & the world. The final show in Reykjavík is amazing.
The film is called HEIMA: th-cam.com/video/KpQ6m2Qf918/w-d-xo.html

Agreed. The music video is so under-appreciated. Complete heartbreaker.

English subtitles from this group would be awsome. I'm lost. Lol. The scenery is nice
Icelandic is the language. I listen to them as an experience, not lyrically (though you can look up translated lyrics). Great headphone music.
That's actually two tracks, the first is Hoppípolla and the second is Með blóðnasir.
We Bought A Zoo! Matt Damon & Scarlet Johansen
Icelandic...
Do you hear a Beatles influence?... I do.
If you like it's atmospheric tones try Cloud Cult from Minneapolis ( they sing in English) lol
what language is this? it called Hopelandic
orri s(drummer) aved my life in a blizzard.
Actually there are 2 songs here
Hoppipola and meo bloodnasir
y que paso con los Jaivas ??????
Ellos son islandeses, pero inventaron un idioma de "algarabías" para sus canciones...
popplagið . Una maravilla para cerrar los ojos y volar un rato...
Kveikur también es brutal!!

This is the real video to be fair.
#nicknlexrequest Heat Above by Greta Van Fleet
The language is one created by Jonsi the vocalist, its gobbledigook from the recesses of his beautiful mind
Hi watch Sigur Ros on the reverb from HBO it's awesome about half an hour but Worth it.

Neither of us are Americans 😉 But hey, we still like to go in blindly!
Slowly getting into this band :). Beautiful track, makes me want more, along the lines of music from the otherside of my music tastes and genres. It makes me think you guys will LOVE "The Gathering" and "OSI" (see reaction suggestions :).
