Sigur Rós: Heima Page #2

---

I mean, it's flooded now.

And it's really sad.

In every small little village

in Iceland there's a choir.

Some say it might be because

of the lack of instruments,

but I don't really buy that.

I think there must have been

some instruments in the old days.

But it's very interesting for us

because we're learning

about things as well,

exploring them, like the rimur,

the old chanting style.

We met Steindr Andersen,

the guy we've worked with a little,

who is the head

of the rhyme society in Iceland,

just in a small room.

He has this deep voice and he started

to chant these rhymes for me,

and something connected inside me,

something like, "Whoa!"

It was warm and right,

or something,

so I was interested

in this tradition, this old sh*t.

It's just so beautiful, I think.

I really like the Sey?isfjr?ur

with the fog.

It was really nice,

and a strange feeling.

The mist was beautiful.

Really nice weather.

Slept in a Mongolian tent

in Sey?isfjr?ur.

It was really weird,

but it was fun.

Just the more we travel,

the more you appreciate

the world and Iceland, as well.

To travel the whole world

and then come back here. Wow!

It's kind of a safe haven

for us, Iceland.

We are left on our own here.

I think the sbyrgi show

was definitely...

...a bizarre show for all of us!

And it was so special for us

cos we...

I mean, we haven't played a proper

Sigur Rs/ Amiina show since then,

and who knows when we will,

so it was very emotional.

Very dramatic.

It was during a public holiday,

that usually during that weekend

people spread around the countryside

to camp,

but everyone was suddenly thinking,

"Yeah, are you going to make it

to the concert?"

In the end it was just packed!

Then I just realised it was the last,

at least for now.

We don't know what will happen,

but it was kind of a shock.

I don't think we maybe realised

what we were doing,

that it kind of became

a really big thing here,

so it was really nice.

And Klambratn, the Reykjavk

concert, was maybe the highlight,

because it was...

Everyone was there,

so it was great.

The show was good.

I start playing and I remember

the first two, three songs.

And then I sort of wake up

in the last song,

just before everything goes crazy.

I sort of wake up and think,

"Oh, the show is over!"

There is this kind of...

like a mood you get into,

you know, together,

doing the same thing.

A really nice feeling.

I think on stage, when everything

is how it should be,

like good sound

and everything feels right,

you just kind of float.

And it's the best feeling ever

to sing for people.

You don't know you're singing,

it's just totally empty headed,

you're just floating there.

I think Kjarri's grandmother,

she went to the concert

and thought it was really loud,

and then heard it was on TV, too.

Like, "It was on the TV!

Let's go home!

"If it's on TV, let's go home

and watch it on TV."

Then it was the end of the last song

and these crazy backdrops and stuff,

like really intense.

Then she thought something was wrong

with her TV and shut it off.

I think it's nice.
