Sigur Ros

Partially in response to the post about the Sigur Ros video and partially because of my new musical interest I wanted to post on Sigur. After I heard them that day in Leeper's class for the first time I had a definite interest in the band and started listening to their albums. I will say that they are quickly becoming one of my favorite things to listen to no matter where I am, although I will say in the shower they sound very enjoyable but I guess thats because it's where all deep thought goes on. The value of Sigur Ros to me is a bit of a mystery because they do not sing in well really any language but definitely not one that I know or understand or can even interpret. What I can do when I'm listening is feel the music, the tone and mood and yes even the meaning. Although I realize that I will find different meaning in the songs as someone else I think thats why I like them so much. Their isn't anyone to tell me what the song is about and that level of mystery is what keeps me so interested in them. The songs allow me to project my own meaning behind the "words" and come out on the other end a bit wiser. The reason I say wiser is because at least for me these songs cause me to ask very deep theological and philosophical questions and limits distractions by not having any words to it. I have always like music and this music seems to make me ask questions about life that no other bands can seem to do for me.
