You have not known what you are.
You have slumbered upon yourself all your life.
Your eyes have been as much as closed most of the time.
What you have done is already in mockeries.

The mockeries are not you.
Underneath them
And within them,
I see you lurk...

-Walt Whitman

hoppipolla


Sigur Ros is known for their haunting and melancholic music, but one of their songs, Hoppipolla, directs anyone who listens to it to a happy place. This is my current happy song and one of my favorite music videos from the post-rock band from Iceland. Whenever I watch it, I am always thrown 50 or 60 years forward, wondering if my friendships today can withstand the decay of time...




Hoppipolla - Sigur Ros

Jump into puddles with no boots
Completely drenched with no boots
And I always get a nosebleed
But I always stand up

I saw the title of the post, and I knew it. I love this song, and the band.

Have you heard Chicane's interpretation of this song?
