So a friend and I were talking about Sigur Ros since he made their show and I didn't. He was fortunate to spend time with them afterwards and fell into deep discussion about many things but one was the beauty of sound and how much one can channel their pain and suffering through it in order to salvage themselves from the emotional wreckage.
The discussion was eventually swayed into and about Ny Batteri and the topic of rape and sexual abuse came up attached with it. Abuse that occurs from someone close to the victim/survivor and the trust mixed with the role of the parent/family/community member that has betrayed and the wounds that are opened so easily by triggers etc.
I hear a few people say that they cannot believe Sigur Ros would ever have such darkness in their works but in reality this is art. This is the safe place to express such energies and especially about a topic like rape/abuse that is looked over so easily throughout the past,especially when it comes down to the male as the victim/survivor.
As all art and music in my view has it's own meaning personally, I don't feel attached to a set definition or meaning that come from the artist or fan. It's up to the individual to define. I found this interesting as a topic in the whole itself because Sigur Ros are so awake, aware and fucking beautiful that I tend to listen to certain stories and views from those I feel I connect with on levels.---regards
