lyrics
Curiosity's tired affection
The better thing often harder to do
The bigger and bolder decision in time
Like an outfit you will grow into
As the flailing arms of illusion
Of the turbulent angst ridden child
Will slowly reveal the intention
To expose all that we hide
Worthy of deep admiration
Long enough to develop a grudge
A detour without expectation will harbour
The sweetest benevolent shove
Which like a friendly dictator
Whose gunmetal grey dorsal fin
Exposes the savage intention
Your plausibility is wearing so thin
For a life worth living is tested
A life worth living is found
Not in the easy existence
But in the lonely paths and challenges
A man must walk down
Will you still be defiantly open
Scattered the troops wave you down
Collective the gasp from cathedral
Cities to dark northern towns
The continual short sharp reminders
What's the best you can do with your day
But furrow and plummet
The depths of a question
Where answers elusively stray
Awareness will not ask for players
Awareness she does not play games
The shadows of an army of counterfeit characters
Are dwarfing your delicate frame
The better thing often harder to do
The bigger and bolder decision in time
Like an outfit you will grow into
As the flailing arms of illusion
Of the turbulent angst ridden child
Will slowly reveal the intention
To expose all that we hide
Worthy of deep admiration
Long enough to develop a grudge
A detour without expectation will harbour
The sweetest benevolent shove
Which like a friendly dictator
Whose gunmetal grey dorsal fin
Exposes the savage intention
Your plausibility is wearing so thin
For a life worth living is tested
A life worth living is found
Not in the easy existence
But in the lonely paths and challenges
A man must walk down
Will you still be defiantly open
Scattered the troops wave you down
Collective the gasp from cathedral
Cities to dark northern towns
The continual short sharp reminders
What's the best you can do with your day
But furrow and plummet
The depths of a question
Where answers elusively stray
Awareness will not ask for players
Awareness she does not play games
The shadows of an army of counterfeit characters
Are dwarfing your delicate frame

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
by Sigur RósThere is an ethereal atmosphere that envelops you whole when listening to this. Full of subtle maggot melodies that flourish with each repeated listen. I adore music that creeps up on you and BANG!

Like audio hot chocolate for the spirit. It combines a comforting nostalgia yet quite like nothing else that preceded it. The vocal and rhythmic signature changes result in something timeless.
go to album -
As if breaking into an emporium, while exploring the innocence of a child like wonder with a macabre sonic under belly. It marries joy and sorrow in sparkling unity.
