This is one of my favorite Sigur Ros songs. For me, it's all about the final buildup, starting at about 5:05. From here it's like a massive climax. Jonsi just continues to sing higher and higher and higher, and the music swells and swells. And then at 5:36 he hits the climax, and it's just so beautiful. The immediate let down of the music and singing just underscores how powerful it really was.
