Thank you Asgeir for this song; I think it exemplifies unselfish love on a man's part. He admires a woman, respects her enough to wait for her to want to commit to him, and lets her know she is loved in the meantime. Thank you for letting yourself be vulnerable in this song and in turn empowering others to do the same!
Ah, Asgeir's VOICE. I saw him perform a few years ago in the same small theatre that I heard Hozier in, and the sound of each of these young guy's voices live in that space will stay with me always. Heaven on earth. Thanks Asgeir.
"Stardust" What's the use of reaching for your heart, we sail miles apart. I gave you tomorrow's useless broken try, to make our world alive. I'm free from lover's breathless scream, following me. Perhaps you could just take one small chance, and see maybe you need me. I'm the man that stands behind you, Real calm while you prove yourself Understand that there is someone Waiting, till the curtains close. Me, I'm a watercolour washing off Into the deepest sea. Though my soul may set in darkness, It will rise in light. I'm the man that stands behind you, Real calm while you prove yourself I will come back here at sunrise, A lover who waits all night. I shut my eyes and all the world drops, lift them and you're born again Out beyond your claim to freedom, a field wide I can meet you there. I'm the man that stands behind you, Real calm while you prove yourself I will come back here at sunrise, A lover who waits all night.
Gosh.. the lyrics.. I mean just read them, it's absolute poetry of the kindest form of love-in-waiting, I've always known he was a wonderful Lyricist, but urghhh if he wrote a poetry book?! I'D BUY IT THE VERY MINUTE IT IT'S RELEASED! Hahaha Wonderful through and through 😘
I completely missed it before I gave this version my full attention with subtitles. Can you imagine what children would be coming up with if they were hearing poetry like this instead of the insane rantings of drug addicts that most of us grew up listening to. What a beautiful expression of duende: a running leap and the landing out beyond the patient longing encapsulated by the song. Sweet Lord. Pray for the children who are assaulted by modern "music" and share this with as many as possible. Love!
I know this is a really old comment, but maybe you will see this, some Icelandic trivia for you. His father is a relatively famous poet in Iceland and Ásgeir took his poems and made them into song. I actually think his Icelandic songs are more beautiful, it does not translate quite well into English. So you can actually by a poetry book by his father, Einar Einarsson :)
In my opinión lyrics talk about that conciousness some people call God. Everyone want to reach inner peace, we prove ourselves... We can also say that God ask for our heart (when you feel you need to conect with your soul). We all are just stardust and that conciousness is what makes us alive. In the official video of the song you can see how she swim in the regular live, but in one moment she goes deeper inside herself and find that ethernal conciousness that always was and will be there like a lover.
The fact that Ásgeir is surrounded by a lot of books in this video makes this a treat not just for ears but for my eyes as well ♥️ loving the vibe his voice gives ✨
I cannot believe how this song is like expressing to a special someone who you cannot fully love, because you are afraid to let her know who the true "me" is. To me though 😂
He's in a weird tuning I think that I can't figure out, but I did tune my guitar half a step down from standard tuning and pluck the open g string (now F#) all throughout each chords to keep that constant ringing like in the song played here. The chords are Basically B, C#, d# minor, F# for the verse, and then for the chorus it does a walk down of B, a# minor g# minor, d# minor, and then it walks back up using the same chords as the verse. Remember to tune your guitar half a step down to reach that low d# during the chorus, but otherwise you go higher with each chord in the verse. Hope that helps :) and sorry if that wasn't clear, let me know if you need any other specifics
Alejandro C Hey thanks! Yah when I got home I figured out what chords were used; I noticed Asgeir plays it like an open chord. I'll try downtuning like you did, thanks!
he has a capo on the first fret (is this the word for it? sry, I'm neither english nor good at it). so is the guitar tuned down two half steps (one step)?
don't apologize, i wouldn't have noticed otherwise, and that is the word for it :) and here he does have a capo on the first fret, but I have no idea what tuning he is in. The way i described how to play was my own version of it and is slightly different from the way he plays it. I actually think i'm playing what the second guitarist plays in a way cause I think he's in standard tuning but tuned down a bit.
okay :) I can't hear what they are playing seperately even if I'm not that bad at putting together chords from a video. but two guitars are too much for me :D do you have an easier explanation for the chords you showed in our first answer? maybe that's a stupid question because I play the guitar myself but I can't do anything with them :/
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND CHORDS/TUNING FOR THIS? I have been searching a lot but have not found anything for this recording or something similar.
Omg, I always wanted to be the first who comment. I can't believe this is happening. I am shaking. First, I want to thank God. I also want to thank my parents for adopting me. And thank you Mahogany Session for this beautiful song.
Does anyone know where I can find tabs/chords to this? this is an amazing song but I can't really see the notes he is playing and cant find them online.
Anyone able to offer a good explanation of the chords - sounds like an open tuning So beautiful though - this has so much soul than the studio version - and thats the truest falsetto there can be :)

You just CANNOT disagree with the riveting perfection of the places Mahogany uses to record these beauties.
HE calmed my busy spirit. I needed it.
Shanice Joseph I see you comment on every video lol
***** lolxx it's because I'm obsessed with Mahogany Sessions
Shanice Joseph me too ☺️ they always release the most amazing and soothing music
Ah, Asgeir's VOICE. I saw him perform a few years ago in the same small theatre that I heard Hozier in, and the sound of each of these young guy's voices live in that space will stay with me always. Heaven on earth. Thanks Asgeir.
I'm absolutely certain we need more Mahogany Sessions in libraries. Plus, Asgeir is lovely.
That moved me to tears. Isn't music wonderful? 💚💜
"Stardust"
What's the use of reaching for your heart, we sail miles apart.

I'm the man that stands behind you,

Understand that there is someone
Waiting, till the curtains close.

It will rise in light.

I'm the man that stands behind you,
Real calm while you prove yourself
I will come back here at sunrise,
A lover who waits all night.
this makes me cry because of how beautiful it sounds and the lyrics ✨✨ this acoustic version hits different 🥺

His calming voice is all you need at the end of the day
This guy has the voice of an angel! We need more of him! What a blessing to my ears...
That "Mahogany Sessions just uploaded a video" email instantly cheers me up.
It's what life's all about! x
Aww can I keep him??
Four years on & this is still my favourite Mahogany video. Stunning voice 😍
Ásgeir is amazing! I discovered him when I went to Iceland last summer. Love his recent album
The fact that Ásgeir is surrounded by a lot of books in this video makes this a treat not just for ears but for my eyes as well ♥️ loving the vibe his voice gives ✨
Love Asgeir!!! Yes Mahogany!!!!
Wow, beautiful!! I've always admired Ásgeir and his music - and this acoustic version is incredible!! Thank you for showing us this!
interesting to see a big viking like him sing so softly
Wow. Incredible. I don't cry often. But, I have cried from the emotion felt by many of the Mahogany Sessions.
His voice is just magic

I can't believe this is happening.
I am shaking.
First, I want to thank God.
I also want to thank my parents for adopting me.
And thank you Mahogany Session for this beautiful song.
Not 100% sure but I think Asgeir's tuning is DADGCC. Julius' I haven't figured out yet but his guitar is one half note down from Asgeir's.
*Amazing ! Great vocals !*
_Melinda ~ TH-camsingers_
It's never really occurred to me before but he sort of looks like a young Tom Hanks from side on
Does anyone know where I can find tabs/chords to this? this is an amazing song but I can't really see the notes he is playing and cant find them online.
fucking obsessed!!
Love at first sight yeah that sums it up…..
English makes you sound like a Radiohead cover group. Stay true to your icelandic brothers and sisters. That will win you the gold
♥️♥️♥️🎼😍😍
😌❤
Does anyone know what the outro song is by chance? Please.
Anyone able to offer a good explanation of the chords - sounds like an open tuning
So beautiful though - this has so much soul than the studio version - and thats the truest falsetto there can be :)
omg I wanna marry this man who can just serenade me lol

Now we know how to pronounce his name 😊
