This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We look over the rudder
Cut off the sea
We sail by the mast
Stretch the sails
We steer towards the bridge
We sail ashore
Up on the large rocks and the sand
We wade ashore
What a mess
Fuckin' yeah!
There I found myself
Endlessly thanking
Sheltered in a makeshift house
And we slept
As the storm died down
Cut off the sea
We sail by the mast
Stretch the sails
We steer towards the bridge
We sail ashore
Up on the large rocks and the sand
We wade ashore
What a mess
Fuckin' yeah!
There I found myself
Endlessly thanking
Sheltered in a makeshift house
And we slept
As the storm died down

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This song moves me so much, happy or sad, I'll listen to this, as I will with all sigur ros 'pieces'
Sigur ros - Best band in the world
One of their best songs written. Whenever I hear this song..my world stops.
I love how Jónsi sings the words"já anskotann".
As the music gradually builds, I anticipate a great outburst to conclude the verse. bBut instead he sings it so softly and he music suddenly stops. But only for a moment.
And though they are vulgar words, it's mesmerizingly angelic.
This song is beautiful and stunning.
amazing
There is so much emotion in this song, I don't know how they did it but they did. Christ. This is just amazing.
When I listen to this song I get the feeling of ambiguity, like a long, empty horizon. You're free to go anywhere but want to be everywhere. Fantastic.
this song is so beautiful it just brings tears to my eyes. the delicate voice of jonsi and the brilliance of the instruments forces me to reflect on my life. it's overwhelming emotion and it works very well. very beautiful, very sweet.
I love this song. Any time I need to just relax all I have to do is listen to this and it does amazing things. I love Sigur Ros, their music is amazing. That's all there is to it
