Sigur Rós – Popplagið

Video 2 Comments

This might not be my favorite song (I say "might" not, because it's hard to tell, any given day), but it contains, absolutely, bar none, my favorite moment in music history - right around the twelve minute mark (yeah... it's a fourteen minute song. It's worth it, trust me.)

I tried to explain this to Linds mere minutes ago. I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible. Trying tp explain the way the last minute or so of this song completes and fulfills one of my favorite CDs is akin to trying to explain love or one's own soul. That sounds stupid, but shouldn't one sound stupid when trying to explain this sort of thing? 98% of the time, music is music to me. Varying quality - with even the stuff I truly enjoy merely being a backdrop to my life. This type of song, with a few select others lets me know that music can become a part of my life. It can intertwine with who I am until it's nonsensical to try to differenetiate. People who haven't felt that feeling, no matter which song, album, or artist, have my pity - they will never understand what music can be to a true believer.

  1. Your tags cracked me up.

    I won't claim it as my very favorite moment, but I still get a woozy thrill when the slow-motion guitar kicks in after 80 seconds of ambiance in "Svefn-g-englar".

    Far too many moments in too many songs to mention one in particular, but I know exactly what you mean in your last paragraph.

  2. This gets a 10.

    That was very cool. One such moment for me is Velvet Underground's Heroin. Toward the the end when Lou Reed kind of laughs and sings "And that blood is in my head..."

    The guitars are just screaming, the pounding drums have stopped and a little chuckle before the lyrics just slay me. I listened to that song many times and although have never shot heroin, I think I know what it feels like just on that part of the song alone.

    It's at 6:31 in the video below.
