Why I want to meet Sigur Rós
they are my favorite group (along with mum)
Well one of the guys is my cousin’s boyfriend.
Both he and she are really sweet people. She’s also in Amiina, a band that’s been working with and supporting Sigur Rós.
I’ve also seen Sigur Rós a couple of times on stage – they are pretty amazing
I saw them in LA maybe 6 years ago & I was so inspired. You can write or imagine your own story with their music. it is breathtaking.
I have seen them play 4 times. The second time was at the Wiltern in Los Angels. After the show, they never played encores, I was leaving out a back side door and it ran along the back of the Hall. POW! There was Bjorn? the drummer smoking like a fiend with some folks and we said hello! and I told him how much I loved the Band. He probably didn’t understand a word I said. But he knew.
I want to tell them that I get it… I understand what it is they are singing/ playing. And then I want to ask them how they can be so young and understand so much, universally and cosmically speaking.
WHY I ADMIRE SIGUR ROS:
After their first domestic release came out here in the US, I recall reading a review in ROLLING STONE that said, “If heaven has a house band, it is Sigur Ros.” EXACTLY.
They play the animus universalis and Jonsi knows how to sing like an angel of compassion, like a Boddhisatva here to cry with humanity and hold us…
Their music is absolutely amazing. If music is a ‘univseral language’ – they definitally wrote the book on it.
