Heard this song for the first time in the radio, back in 2005, I couldn't find the name, few weeks later it was this beautiful sound again, on tv 😅 how I loved this tv commercial.

I might be an old ass, but viewing this version of Hoppípolla make me remember of the live version of A Whiter Shade of Pale, 15 years ago... Both amazing songs, even if from different eras...

I listened to TAKK a very long time ago, probably 15+ years ago . The lead singer was young and I was too. Now we have aged. Life is impermanent. lets be kind to each other and enjoy our life on planet earth. Long live Sir David and Sigur Ros

This is what life is about: to create, to honour, to protect, to transcend. Long live to Sir David and his legacy!

Lagu Hoppípolla ini memang legenda. Sebuah lagu yang mampu menghipnotis kita, membawa ke cakrawal luas tak terkira 🎉

It's always a pleasure to listen to this great song, but yes, the slower, longer, less rhythmic version has a better and deeper vibe to me.
