Questa si che è natalizia.



Diretto da Crush Creative

And then I heard you
You made me long for
To be a part of
Something that I can’t see
I let this be
Something that I can’t fear
To be a part of
The story belongs to you

Something you said was
About a pen and a paper
You cannot always write in
Is something you have to do
Gathering stories
The story belongs to you
Say that it's gone
You know that I disappear

Then I hear you
Say that it's gone
You put me into
A radio
You are the radio
You are my
You are my favourite song

Something is growing
On little pieces
And into the moment
So keep from falling

All the stars
All the nights
All the rain
All the bones
All the days
All the sphears
All the stars
All the nights
All the tides
All the rain
All the cheers
All the nights
I keep saying
All the nights
All the stars
Of your life

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VIðRAR VEL TIL LOFTÁRÁSA/SIGUR RÓS

Ég læt mig líða áfram
Í gegnum hausinn
Hugsa hálfa leið
Afturábak
Sé sjálfan mig syngja sem

Fagnaðarerindið við sömdum saman tyo
Við áttum okkur draum
Áttum allt
Við riðum heimsendi
Við riðum leitandi
Klifruðum skýjakljúfa
Sem síðar sprungu upp
Friðurinn úti
Ég lek jafnvægi
Ég dett niður
Ég læt mig líða áfram
Í gegnum hausinn
Ég kem alltaf niður aftur á sama stað
Alger Þögn
Ekkert svar
En Það besta sem guð hefur skapað
Er nýr dagur


(Tempo buono per un attacco aereo)

Scivolo in avanti
Nella mia testa
Solo mezzi pensieri
All'indietro
Mi vedo cantare
L'inno che abbiamo scritto assieme
Avevamo un sogno
Avevamo tutto
Siamo arrivati alla fine del mondo
Ci siamo arrivati cercando
Scalando grattacieli
Che poi sono esplosi
La pace è svanita
L'equilibrio è stato trafugato
Cado
Scivolo in avanti
Nella mia testa
Ritorno sempre nello stesso posto
Nel silenzio totale
Nessuna risposta
Ma la cosa migliore è stata creata
È un nuovo giorno

POST-IT: JÓNSI (SIGUR RÓS)/BOY LILIKOI

Un altro impegno parallelo per Jónsi Birgisson, leader dei Sigur Rós: dopo il progetto Riceboy Sleep, realizzato col compagno Alex Somers, ora è la volta del primo disco da solista, intitolato Go, che uscirà il 22 Marzo per la XL Recordings. Attraverso il sito ufficiale jonsi.com si può già scaricare un brano, Boy Lilikoi, cantato in inglese, il cui stile ricorda molto da vicino quello delle tracce più pop dell'ultimo lavoro della band islandese, Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust.
