Sigur Rós

Sigur Rós (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɪːɣʏrous] ) is an Icelandic post-rock band that formed in 1994 in Reykjavík. It comprises lead vocalist and guitarist Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, bassist Georg Hólm and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. Known for their ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi's falsetto vocals, and their use of bowed guitar, Sigur Rós incorporate classical and minimal aesthetic elements. Jónsi's vocals are sung in Icelandic and non-linguistic vocalisations the band terms Vonlenska. They have released eight studio albums, and attracted critical and commercial attention with their second album Ágætis byrjun.

I really love Sigur Ros. I don't own any of their music, but I've liked everything I've ever heard from them (which has been almost exclusively on RP). Their sound is unique and transcendent. And I LOVED the documentary Heima. If you ever get a chance to see it, DO! Visually and aurally gorgeous.

Icelandic is no more made-up than English.  
 
I don't think this is Icelandic. It's pretty well documented that Sigur Ros use a made-up "language" which they use strictly for vocal tonality. Though I could be wrong for this particular song since I wouldn't know real Icelandic if I heard it.

Let's adapt to the region of origin.

Your eyes on my fjord.   

If you are a powerful enough Old Norse or Viking chieftain, you might 'own' the entire fjord.  That does not necessarily mean that you can tell folks living there how to blow their noses.

Just excellent, no need to analyse. If it hits the spot, enjoy, if not, move on.

I hear it as 'your eyes are mindful' (being aware and openly soulful). Rather nice :)

Note to self: beware of avant-rock star Icelanders with forks.

Looking forward to seeing them on their NA tour this summer.  Saw my first show since 2019 over the weekend.  It was such joy to see live music again.

Without a doubt, one of the best bands I've ever heard. Every time I listen to their music I cry. Their ability to take me to a different place and reveal previously undiscovered parts of myself is unmatched. I've often set an album of theirs to play and have only realized my reverie a good while later. Glad to see them played here. Thank you Bill!
