It looks more like all the "special" characters were ditched in the process, if you compare it to the actual lyrics:

Bill just pronounced Sigur Rós as Sigure Rose. I'm nitpicking here so don't take it too serious but despite the ' on the 'o', the o in Rós is pronounced like boss.

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.


 
I tend to agree but also don't know for sure. These lyrics do not translate from Icelandic using Google Translate.

Any native Icelanders on the forum can address this? 

Are they singing in Icelandic?

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!

Actually, the reason why overnight rice overnight works so well is because it attracts highly skilled Asian electronic workers who fix the phone while you're asleep

Not even everyone's cup of tea and this is quite the deep end to be dropped into. I'm a big fan of Sigur Ros and their live shows are pure fantasy. For an easier entry point, try the song Glosoli or the album Takk.

Also, if you're a fan of the movie The Life Aquatic, I defy you not to well up when Bill Murray finally finds his leopard shark. The music in this scene is Staralfur by Sigur Ros.

Lastly, Heima is a beautiful journal by the band and a love letter to the dramatic and historical gem that is Iceland.

This might be a good cinematic rock song if they ever finished lyrics for it. Sorry, but "Hopelandic" is the same as Lorem Ipsum for songwriters who can't finish a song. Lots of songwriters use something similar. Yesterday started as "Scrambled Eggs" and that sort of thing. Most of it doesn't get recorded that way. Weak. Lots of negative comments going back to 2011, but it keeps getting played. When were these playlists created? Hello, Autopilot?

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.

I saw a 2 part documentary on their tour after first international fame, very interesting they played small towns all over iceland even in bars but mostly outdoor events.  Didn't finish the 2nd part, they were going into a long climax and the film cutting was flashing way too many quick shots and would have caused a seizure in most people .

I like this song, and this band, just fine. They won me over when I happened to catch their documentary "Heima" in gorgeous hi-def. Absolutely transporting. Perfect combination of sound + visual.

(P.S. Anyone who criticizes them for singing in their native language can kiss my ass.)

Dammit, Hannio, you beat me to it! Was about to post something like you did, but yours is better.

Yes, the guy sings very well...for a cat. One that's coming off a catnip/cough syrup high. Maybe he's an absolute stud in Icelandic but for all I know the band's lyrics are devoted to the high-speed thrills, chills and spills of stamp-collecting. 

A little of this band goes a long, long way.

Agree, wholeheartedly. That's why my song ratings reflect how much I want to hear ones like it, as opposed to how good I think it is. There are many songs I think (maybe even know) are immortal, wonderful, timeless classics, outstanding exemplars of their genre, etc., that I enjoy hearing now and then but don't want to be a staple of RP's playlist. Others, often more obscure or unknown, I'll rate high because I want to hear more like them. As time passes, I've down-rated some of my earlier favorites because they've grown stale for me. Others I've up-rated for the opposite reason.

Ok, wait...  So if I don't like Sigur Ros, I'm narrow minded and prejudiced or "too mainstreamed" to recognize good music?  This coming from the person that gave Pink Floyd, The Black Keys, The Grateful Dead, Rush, Bob Marley, Iron and Wine, U2 and many other bands poor ratings?  It's all a matter of taste, and you have no grounds to criticize others for their taste. 

I am so sick of people mistaking their opinions as fact when it comes to music.  FACTS relate to solid and measurable things, record sales, rankings, things like that.

hmm...

Vonlenska is a term used to describe the unintelligible lyrics sung by the band in particular by Jón Þór Birgisson. It is also commonly known by the English translation of its name, Hopelandic. It takes its name from "Von", a song on Sigur Rós's debut album Von where it was first used.

Vonlenska is a non-literal language, without fixed syntax, and differs from constructed languages that can be used for communication. It focuses entirely on the sounds of language; lacking grammar, meaning, and even distinct words. Instead, it consists of emotive non-lexical vocables and phonemes in effect, Vonlenska uses the melodic and rhythmic elements of singing without the conceptual content of language. In this way, it is similar to the use of scat singing in vocal jazz.

The band's website describes it as "a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music"; it is similar in concept to the 'nonsense' language often used by the Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser in the 1980s and 1990s.


Perhaps wildlewis means that that there are 300K people who speak gibberish? Come to think of it, there probably are a lot more than 300K, the trouble is, they don't all speak the same gibberish :p
