What I like so much about Sigur Rós music is the possibility to interpret it in very personal, unique ways.
I'm an amateur astronomer, and I got to the idea that the song is a perfect soundtrack for watching sunset and stars appearing in time lapse.
The sad part of the song follows the night that is coming, our beautiful Sun sinking lower, dissapearing, making everithing dark, cold, unfriendly.
But as the sky becomes dark, more and more stars appear to fill it.
As the cold night completely falls down, and the choir starts to sing, altough we cannot see our Sun, what we see is are vast millions of other bright worlds, the view and sounds compared into emotion beyond words.
It was the idea i got before i read the translated lyrics (I don't know Icelandic). Altough strange, it seems possible to me now to think of the Sun as the one we parted from when it set. It also brings hope that someday, the Sun, or what ever someones "one who I part from" will appear and rise again, someday.
sry for the long post, i couldnt help myself ;) .
so monumental and beautiful indeed!
