The first song of Ólafur Arnald's "Living Room Songs".
The song is called "Fyrsta", which means "First". Because it is the first song of the series, but also because this piano theme was the first thing i managed to write while temporarily living in Los Angeles after weeks of severe creative block while trying to adjust to a new and strange place.
Violins: Gréta Salóme Stefánsdóttir and Margrét Soffía Einarsdóttir
Viola: Roland Hartwell
Cello: Unnur Jónsdóttir

I went to is concerto in Montreal a few weeks back with my best friend. He invited me for my birthday. He knew I loved his music... It was a wonderful gift.
At the enb of the show, the four violinist left but Olafur stayed alone on stage. He told us the Story of is grandmother. How he loved, that she was is biggest fan and when she passed away he wrote this song for her. He played fyrsta by himself. At first I was suprised the violinist left since their is violin in the song, but I sat there, listening to him. I was transported to another place. A place where people silenced could speak again, where those who suffered could heal their wounds. And then I heard them.
In the backstage, we could here the sounds of the violins playing. and then... silence. Not a word, not a sound, for at least 2 minutes. Everyone in the crowd was there, living the moment together.
This moment will forever be engraved in my memory as one of the most emotionaly powerful moments in my life. I cried so much. Not of pain, not of joy. I don't know what it was, but I just remember looking at my friend, is eyes soaked with tears. We both huged each other, knowing what we just lived was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Olafur. From the bottom of My heart, I am forever grateful for this experience.
Sumting Wong I transferred myself back on his concerts again with your comment.
In addition - violins were playing so soft and looking alike from somewhere far away. For me it was like Olafur’s grandmother were listening to him and even talking to him. And then those keys.. they were pushed that gentle and kind so it was like touching someone’s soul.. even breathing at the concert hall was useless.
Thank you, thank you so much Olafur for those unbelievable feelings and emotions that we all experienced during your concerts.
If the silence has its sound, it’s your keys.
I saw him in New York and it was definitely one of the best concert experiences I've ever had.
He is one of the most important musicians of this generation..
this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
Yes
A year ago, I met the most wonderful woman in the world. Shared interest in classical music (she plays cello), Fyrsta was the first classical song we slow-danced to. It was beautiful. In a few months, I'm going to send her Living Room Songs CD as a birthday gift eventhough we're not together anymore due to the distance we have.
Thanks, Olafur.
This is an absolute masterpiece.
+Haetam Attamimy I hope life brings back the two of you again :) That is incredibly sweet.
+Moira Dumagan Thank you for your kindness :)
If you are meant to be with her it will happen. It might take a long time, but never give up hope. You will meet her again and be reunited.
You may not meet her again. But you will meet another and she will complement your soul in a different way.
Even you guys are not together anymore it is good to have someone like her in your life mate.I wish you guys be together again
"I'm not gonna play myself for the public and invite them to my soul. My soul is a private place"
I hate and love that pretty much every one of Olafur Arnalds's songs go straight to my heart. No music has ever gotten more of an emotional rise from me.
This is amazing. I just found out what you guys do. This amazing. We are all united by these waves that makes us remember, we all suffer from the same condition, it is so beautiful to be alive. All the best.
I love Happiness does not wait. Very sad, poignant, tearful. My daughter is dancing to this piece of music in her Neo Classical Ballet Competition in Western Australia. Wish her the best.
The depth of humanity in the sweetness of the breaking heart softly open. This man is an angel ...bless him.
I know, breaking it open like a soft nut, and there is chocolate inside that you slowly eat with your loved one on a stairs.. i know..
I imagine that, if there's music in heaven, it will sound like your music. Words can't capture the emotion that I have listening to it ... Thank you!!
It was around 2 years ago I listen it for first time. I'll never forget who send me this music and never I'll be not tired to listen it again and again. This version is so amazing. Simple but so so so much nice.
At the end of every Olafur Arnalds song, I sit down and think of what i just heard, and then i hear it again. Olafurs music is beauty at its purest form.
How absolutely heartbreaking and yet, so beautiful.
Those three rolling crescendos from 1:59 to 3:01 just randomly pop into my head from time to time. Haunting, beautiful, contemplative.
The cellist steals the show 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The cellist here - Unnur Jónsdóttir - is like an angel, such beauty.
I never bored to this song... really really beautiful but sometimes made me sad too.. but why there's people dislike such a beautiful song
My favourite
Beautiful music
thank you ! for this intelligent composition. thank you ! for makeing hear us emotions. thank you ! for opening our eyes, to see the ice and the frost.
Hauntingly beautiful ♥ how I wish I could have been there...
Preciosa, beautiful, thanks Ólafur
This is amazing Ólafur! Can't wait to listen to all of it.
Ridiculously beautiful man.
this is my favorite song ever! I can't explain it better than saying..."it soothes my soul."
Beautiful music. Very heart felt.
This song means the man who I become today...
It's my first time of realizing who really I am...
My tears, my smiles, my dissapointments, my succeses and etc...
Shortly;
Thanks for your pure art...
Despair awaits you if you find yourself in music.
@@NowhyInteresting comment. IMO art/music is a reflection of our realities.
@@SHVideografie yes, that is one way of looking at it.. made me associate a movie that I love: The Limits Of Control by Jim Jarmusch (one of the few true artists today)
@@SHVideografie the artist (ego) doesn't matter, the art does - like a tornado-, the artists love for art does - a critic also loves art, but doesn't create.. many fake artists and fake critics out there...
one of the best musicians ever in my opinion. he can produce such a mind blowing piece of art with limited instruments just like we see in the video. olafur arnalds definitely need more appreciation. too stunning to be ignored.
simply ... beautiful
Love this young man' music... have started using Google Translate for the song titles. Turns out one of my favorites is "06 Lag Fyrir Ömmu. Song for Grandma" (Icelandic). Love everything he does!
all-around gorgeous. I love the simplicity of the setup contrasting with the richness of the music - really looking forward to the rest of the project.
so much emotion and feeling! truly amazing thanks for sharing!!
Love the details. Love the atmosphere. Love it all.
Got serious goosebumps listening to that. Wonderfully beautiful! Thankyou.
Beautiful. Everything about this. From the music, to the photography, to the decor. La love.
Beautiful playing and lovely atmosphere. Thank you.
There's nothing more touching or more beautiful in this world or another than any song of you, Ólafur! It always gets me...
