Overall Meaning

As mentioned in the note, "nýja lagið" is a Hopelandic song, which means it has no actual lyrics in any language. Hopelandic, also known as Vonlenska, is a made-up language used by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, where the words and sounds are meant to convey emotions and feelings rather than specific meanings.


Despite having no actual words, the song is still emotionally charged and conveys a sense of hope and optimism. The music itself is ethereal and dreamlike, with layers of strings, keyboards, and choir-like vocals building to a crescendo of sound.


The lack of lyrics allows the listener to interpret the music in their own way and connect with the emotions conveyed by the band's unique language. The song's title, "nýja lagið," translates to "the new song" in Icelandic, further emphasizing the band's experimental and inventive approach to music-making.


Overall, "nýja lagið" is a beautiful and moving piece of music that showcases Sigur Rós's skill at crafting emotionally rich compositions that transcend language barriers.

ive been looking for this song for a while now.. all i remember is sitting in the hall of a hostal, a recepcionist guy playing his playlist, and all of a sudden comes a song with these bombastic violin bow driven guitar explosions, and all the rest... it wasnt loud but i got focused on it and it felt like orgasmic explosions.. amazing song

That’s amazing. I’ve kept coming back to this video over the years to listen to this wonderful song, and almost always that I go through the comments, I stumble upon yours! First time was probably 12-14 years ago! I always imagine that scene at the Hostel. Hope you’re doing well and still traveling these days

The subtleties of his voice and the dynamics are simply nothing less than excellent, portrays the colorful emotions in each detail, and the band is completely synchronized with the voice. This is a real heaven to listen to. A masterpiece.
