You know when we feature bands with non-English characters in their names, when we have to figure out the ASCII codes for writing these non-English characters, that they must be special.
Icelandic superstars Sigur Rós, described as a post-rock band (accurately) are that kind of special. Their best known song is this one, a song with some Icelandic and some nonsense words, about childlike fun and holding onto that spirit....
,,,which is probably why the video prominently features several elderly people pulling pranks on people, including members of the band.
The song, like a lot of their music, is beautiful and different and thought-provoking.
Of course it's a live favorite. Why wouldn't it be?!
