Heima
|
00:01:08 |
Heima means "at home". |
00:02:18 |
It's a bit like being on trial, |
00:02:23 |
It's like, you know, |
00:02:33 |
Kind of nervous, because it's friends |
00:02:38 |
I think it's harder to play |
00:02:42 |
I found it quite interesting |
00:02:46 |
because they're so judgmental. |
00:10:08 |
We had been travelling |
00:10:11 |
and wanted to come back |
00:10:14 |
and make the last concerts |
00:10:18 |
There used to be pop bands |
00:10:24 |
and had some... you know... |
00:10:27 |
and danced to the music, |
00:10:31 |
It seemed like something |
00:10:35 |
was to go around |
00:10:37 |
in small towns |
00:10:40 |
These people are also the people |
00:10:45 |
so it was really nice. |
00:11:19 |
I guess that's sort of our idea, |
00:11:22 |
to give back, in a way. |
00:14:26 |
Space is what we have here, |
00:14:28 |
in our personal life |
00:14:35 |
Because it's a small community, |
00:14:38 |
I think people are unconsciously |
00:14:42 |
of giving you space. |
00:14:46 |
So I think we kind of have to do that, |
00:14:49 |
and I think it's a bit in our souls. |
00:18:14 |
Next up is a band from Iceland |
00:18:18 |
gushing about its elegant, |
00:18:20 |
Here to perform "Njósnavélin", |
00:18:24 |
please welcome Sigur Rós! |
00:18:32 |
I was very young. Yeah, I was 21. |
00:18:36 |
And then all of a sudden, you had |
00:18:42 |
and money and... |
00:18:46 |
You know, all that stuff. |
00:18:48 |
It was kind of... |
00:18:52 |
and freaked me a bit out. |
00:18:56 |
You're in a band, |
00:19:00 |
You're having meetings with lawyers |
00:19:04 |
In a way, it's quite, like I say, exciting. |
00:19:06 |
You think about the future, |
00:19:09 |
At the same time, it's almost like |
00:19:13 |
The music business is left |
00:19:18 |
We were really sceptical |
00:19:21 |
like doing a lot of interviews, |
00:19:23 |
a lot of photo sessions |
00:19:26 |
all this stuff, all these typical things. |
00:19:31 |
And if you deny that, |
00:19:34 |
then people are, |
00:19:38 |
It's confusing. |
00:19:40 |
Then they start to build up |
00:19:44 |
I'm just a normal person. |
00:20:11 |
But we take our music seriously. |
00:20:14 |
We work a lot on the music. |
00:20:18 |
Maybe we work sometimes too much. |
00:20:21 |
It takes a lot to make us happy, |
00:20:24 |
with what we do. |
00:20:26 |
When we meet, the four of us, |
00:20:30 |
with some instruments |
00:20:35 |
we don't talk much, we just play |
00:20:37 |
until something feels right, |
00:20:40 |
and we just mould it and form it |
00:20:46 |
like things just come to you. |
00:27:40 |
When you travel, you play |
00:27:44 |
so it's really nice to come back here |
00:27:48 |
and just to relax a little bit. |
00:33:49 |
At first, we didn't have an idea |
00:33:54 |
so we imagined some places |
00:33:57 |
I was talking to local people |
00:34:01 |
and they were really happy to get |
00:34:57 |
I think we got a lot of attention, |
00:35:02 |
But then it should get |
00:35:07 |
I mean, not a lot of people |
00:35:11 |
making concerts so easy |
00:35:17 |
for people to be able to attend. |
00:35:55 |
Halfway through, we saw |
00:35:59 |
about how the band was giving back |
00:36:04 |
and also it was really noble |
00:36:07 |
and all this effort |
00:36:10 |
was joining the soul |
00:36:14 |
so people had this great focus |
00:36:18 |
Everyone seemed really happy |
00:36:21 |
and glad to be able |
00:36:24 |
And people bringing |
00:36:26 |
grandparents and grandchildren, |
00:36:31 |
it was really, really cosy. |
00:37:33 |
A lot of people were just coming |
00:37:37 |
to some nice moment, |
00:37:41 |
I think that's as nice |
00:44:13 |
There's never been much planning |
00:44:17 |
Or in Sigur Rós in general, |
00:44:21 |
So they taught us a lot |
00:44:27 |
without speaking or planning, |
00:44:30 |
It's just eight people |
00:44:34 |
This is one big family, |
00:44:37 |
because you have |
00:44:39 |
but it's not really close, like stealing |
00:44:44 |
That only happens |
00:45:43 |
Páll, he's an artist, |
00:45:45 |
and there are these landslides |
00:45:49 |
He goes up and hits the stones, |
00:45:54 |
and they produce a tone. |
00:45:56 |
Then he makes this chromatic marimba |
00:46:10 |
Amazing instrument, |
00:46:25 |
Totally natural guy. |
00:46:28 |
He just lives alone with his mother |
00:46:32 |
and just makes things all day, |
00:46:35 |
or like a rhubarb marimba, |
00:48:26 |
Djúpavík, |
00:48:30 |
lying in this old factory that |
00:48:34 |
Then there was no more fish |
00:48:37 |
Only two people live there, |
00:48:40 |
Total isolation. |
00:48:44 |
And before it was this village |
00:48:47 |
with lots of activity |
00:48:51 |
The fish went. |
00:54:09 |
It was good to be able to bring life |
00:54:14 |
just for a short moment, |
00:55:05 |
Iceland is a unique place |
00:55:08 |
on this planet. |
00:55:13 |
It's so strange |
00:55:16 |
that people can think about it |
00:55:20 |
We're not protecting it enough, |
00:55:23 |
all these nice, |
00:55:27 |
Like tearing down old houses |
00:55:32 |
- Ugly. |
00:55:36 |
- Big. |
00:55:38 |
And maybe pretending to be |
00:55:42 |
Most people divide |
00:55:44 |
People that want to make |
00:55:48 |
and the people that think about |
00:55:54 |
Speaking of that, I'm mostly referring |
00:55:59 |
with all the aluminium factories |
00:56:04 |
We went up to this protest camp |
00:56:08 |
where they were protesting the building |
00:56:19 |
The place where the dam is |
00:56:21 |
is kind of the biggest unspoilt |
00:56:27 |
We wanted to show support |
00:56:30 |
because they've sunk |
00:56:33 |
just to drive |
00:56:37 |
When we came and saw the dam |
00:56:42 |
I think everybody was just |
00:56:45 |
because it was |
00:56:58 |
They'd brought up this small PA |
00:57:01 |
and were gonna get electricity |
00:57:04 |
And then we thought |
00:57:08 |
the building of a dam |
00:57:11 |
so we thought it would be a good idea |
00:58:46 |
Exactly when we started playing, |
00:58:51 |
It was really magical, |
00:58:52 |
because it was meant |
00:58:55 |
and after the performance |
01:00:29 |
It can't be taken back. |
01:00:34 |
And it's really sad. |
01:02:20 |
In every small little village |
01:02:25 |
Some say it might be because |
01:02:29 |
but I don't really buy that. |
01:02:33 |
I think there must have been |
01:02:38 |
But it's very interesting for us |
01:02:40 |
because we're learning |
01:02:44 |
exploring them, like the rimur, |
01:02:47 |
the old chanting style. |
01:04:24 |
We met Steindór Andersen, |
01:04:29 |
who is the head |
01:04:32 |
just in a small room. |
01:04:34 |
He has this deep voice and he started |
01:04:39 |
and something connected inside me, |
01:04:42 |
It was warm and right, |
01:04:45 |
so I was interested |
01:04:52 |
It's just so beautiful, I think. |
01:07:14 |
I really like the Sey?isfjör?ur |
01:07:19 |
It was really nice, |
01:07:24 |
The mist was beautiful. |
01:07:30 |
Slept in a Mongolian tent |
01:07:34 |
It was really weird, |
01:07:41 |
Just the more we travel, |
01:07:44 |
the more you appreciate |
01:07:48 |
To travel the whole world |
01:07:53 |
It's kind of a safe haven |
01:07:56 |
We are left on our own here. |
01:13:32 |
I think the Ásbyrgi show |
01:13:36 |
...a bizarre show for all of us! |
01:13:38 |
And it was so special for us |
01:13:44 |
I mean, we haven't played a proper |
01:13:49 |
and who knows when we will, |
01:13:52 |
so it was very emotional. |
01:13:55 |
Very dramatic. |
01:14:06 |
It was during a public holiday, |
01:14:09 |
that usually during that weekend |
01:14:11 |
people spread around the countryside |
01:14:15 |
but everyone was suddenly thinking, |
01:14:17 |
"Yeah, are you going to make it |
01:14:20 |
In the end it was just packed! |
01:15:09 |
Then I just realised it was the last, |
01:15:14 |
We don't know what will happen, |
01:18:42 |
I don't think we maybe realised |
01:18:46 |
that it kind of became |
01:18:50 |
so it was really nice. |
01:18:52 |
And Klambratún, the Reykjavík |
01:18:57 |
because it was... |
01:19:00 |
Everyone was there, |
01:20:03 |
The show was good. |
01:20:05 |
I start playing and I remember |
01:20:08 |
And then I sort of wake up |
01:20:11 |
just before everything goes crazy. |
01:20:14 |
I sort of wake up and think, |
01:20:18 |
There is this kind of... |
01:20:23 |
you know, together, |
01:20:29 |
A really nice feeling. |
01:20:37 |
I think on stage, when everything |
01:20:41 |
like good sound |
01:20:44 |
you just kind of float. |
01:20:46 |
And it's the best feeling ever |
01:20:50 |
You don't know you're singing, |
01:20:52 |
it's just totally empty headed, |
01:31:33 |
I think Kjarri's grandmother, |
01:31:35 |
she went to the concert |
01:31:38 |
and thought it was really loud, |
01:31:41 |
and then heard it was on TV, too. |
01:31:44 |
Like, "It was on the TV! |
01:31:47 |
"If it's on TV, let's go home |
01:31:50 |
Then it was the end of the last song |
01:31:52 |
and these crazy backdrops and stuff, |
01:31:55 |
like really intense. |
01:31:58 |
Then she thought something was wrong |
01:32:03 |
I think it's nice. |
