Sigur Rós – Blóðberg

Pure magic to be part of creating the official music video for Blóðberg together with the one and only, director Johan Renck. Thank you.

“I feel as nihinistic as one could regarding the future. We are powerless againts our own stupidities. Some aspects of this came to merge with my impressions of the themes of Blóðberg. The music becoming a score to my own miserable thoughts, giving them beauty as only music can.” – Johan Renck.

Some thoughts/comments on the piece:

@HS-mo4sq

“An amazing song and video.”

@user-mz7vg1om4l

“Horrible… Absolutely masterpiece…”

@andyleigh3968

“That is a very … intense … video!”

@apocalypso1564

“For me, this just shows the inevitability of time; we may hopefully turn the world’s current situation around in our and nature’s favour, but eventually, our golden moment in the starlight will end, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Humanity is finite, and that’s what this video speaks to me in a beautiful and accepting way.”

@guilhermedasilva1795

“Brutal video”

@laluna5177

“This is a very powerful video. It captures the feelings of my personal life at the moment, but also the state of the world. I’m failing to find adjectives to describe the feeling this video evokes.”

@sharonjdepp

“Jonsi’s vocals are as hauntingly beautiful as ever, this is a very powerful song and video . Heartbreakingly good”

@Lonnloven

“Beautiful music! And the video perfectly encapsulates the zeitgeist of how it feels like we’re marching towards our doom. Excellent use of the uncanny valley for maximum effect of the message!”

“finally some uplifting music but seriously: it perfectly encapsulates the dread of knowing that we’re sliding into a catastrophe and absolutely nothing is being done about it. in a way it perfectly represents our future: a hot, dying earth which grows mostly inhabitable for people living on it. it’s a truly moving piece of art”

“Great clip. Looks like the world in 2050.”

“Achingly beautiful but tinged with sadness watching the video as this is the most likely outcome for humanity.”

@svenboucher

“A very depressing and thought-provoking video.”

@IBAM666

“How come almost no one in these comment was also blown by this crazyyyyy video too? Sigur Rós always had the touch for perfect video, but still surprised me with this!”

@Yrtiop

“I was hypnotised by the video. Beautiful.”

@jeremymr

“Beautiful song, powerful video. It turns out Blood Meridian is filmable, after all…”

@TheColdfeather

“I’m laying on my bed with my window open. Its a cosy evening, very warm outside with summer rain, so it smells wonderful outside, listening to the calming noise of raindrops falling on the trees. I slept in to youtube videos and this started automatically to play at some time. I literally thought and dreamed shortly that I died, a warm tickly feeling hit my body and my soul rose up to the stars in the universe… That was my personal magic moment of this year so far 🙂 What a wonderful work of art, haunting, melancholic and beautiful <3″

“Respect to director Johan Renck Big luv”

“Haunting… one of the best music videos ever made.”

@Lonnloven

@alexfrzn4

“Such a powerful video! Sigur Rós music still sounds like a message from another world”

@modernmanadvice

“Brilliant. Sigur Rós has always composed and produced brilliant music. The kind of music you’d expect to be playing when your soul transcends this physical realm. I love the idea of the video, and it certainly goes well with the composition. I would have just done it backward: Start with the large group of deceased beings, progress with more spread-out deceased beings, and end with 2 still alive beings running away together to nail down the idea that there will always be hope as long as we have each other.”

“This Video …film and music…is exactly what I feel in this world now”

@analuisathiersteinr.d.t.sa6298

“Obrigada … fabulosa música/canção e impressionante vídeo.”

@juareflo

“A dark history of love narrated in a beatiful video, with a celestial music. Never disapoint me. BRAVO!!”

“The power of this music, in addition to the images of the sand, the sensation of heat, the raw bodies/corpses in increasing number.. all of this.. it made my body react beyond my control, I literally shiver all the way through the piece.”

“Such striking yet simple imagery…incredible”

“Amazing piece of music! The film just sums up a lot of what’s happening in the world. The planet is rebooting.”

“Very chill and sweet, a perfect song and video for the coming apocalypse.”
