Starlifur, Sigur Ros



When I wake up at 4am and can't go back to sleep, I often gravitate towards Sigur Ros music videos. I find the indie-esque Icelandic band fascinating. Beyond the (awesome) videography and melodies; I have found that there is something about listening to a language which I do not understand- the pitches, the words- all unfamiliar to me, that makes me fall small. It's this realization that I am nestled in my own cozy little corner of the world; and yet there are so many other ways of speaking, thinking and seeing that I haven't even been exposed to yet (or ever).
