I always cry listening to this song. this is so beautiful

[@rossmrboom]

2020 still beautiful
.

[@jasonm.trumble6114]

Early-Mid 2021, and still beautiful.
The end of the universe could be nie, and still it's beautiful.

[@meganb6054]

If I could see you live, even just once in my life, I think it'd be impeccable and one of the last things I'd wish to do. You have such a beautiful talent and it's some of the first classical music I got into, it's something you feel rather than hear.

[@wilmermelchor24]

It's amazing

Someone once said... "I need to hear the sounds that recognize my pain"

"You are the earth"... Gracious and beautiful music! Thanks, Ólafur!

[@MythicShot]

Here's proof that the Irish and Icelandic DNA is very similar (due to the female population that settled Iceland originally coming from mainly Ireland and also Scotland)
The Icelandic looking fellow with the jumper playing the Cello is Irish :)

[@ivanescalera6259]

This song remind me a dream i had so long time ago, where the snow was covering me, a warm snow. Sometimes, I still recall it, when we were the both just one, all alone just we two. The people sometimes ask me, why i risked everything for nothing... Because for me, that snow, it was God, it was like walking besides god, breathing god, looking at god's eyes, listening god's voice; I saw God in that snow. It was just a dream, i know, because it was never remembered to have snow on December 5th in Mexico. That was just a dream that lasts one second or a live...
The other day I was sleeping and at the same moment playing this song on spotify, I was dreaming again. I woke up with tears, because it was so real...
But the snow left the island where I used to live long time ago...
Now this is just a memory I have and it come back when I hear this song...

[@josemonzon1501]

Iván Escalera I have tried to look it up on Spotify but have had no luck so far

[@matthewschubert4954]

[@goosegod6]

Why do I like this live version more than the studio one? This is just divine music, Im in heaven

[@93z]

there's something so special about Icelandic music! lovely.

[@snappa222]

Engaging,meditative,relaxing and beautiful.But sad when it's over.

[@ahotsteamingdump]

Such delicate music. The amount of depth that Ólafur creates with his natural sense of dynamics and tone quality is uncanny. This is a musician who pays attention to hyper-detail and subtle nuances.

[@anakhaduri6308]
