Sigur Ros - Heima


Last night i watched this movie and wow, what a trip. I feel so at peace with life. Sigur Ros is a beautiful band with something to give. After their successful tour around the world they came home (heima meaning home) to Iceland and performed free concerts all over. It was so beautiful and a neat cultural experience stepping outside the typical american view of living. It made me reflect on what true success is. It made me see true beauty in this country and the world as well as music, they blend so perfectly together with such peace and power good music can bring. Another thing that stood out to me was the power of community and family, what a gift it is that we never have to be alone. I have a family with unconditional love and a community that gives back what a give. It's almost like magic.

I love bands like this don't get caught up in the money, but are so caught up in their music. Like radiohead; you choose how much you want to pay for their new album. How cool is that?! I was thinking about it and realized there are probably three different types of people. The first who would pay the bare minimum, a dollar maybe because they could? Then there are peole who would pay you know.. the typical price of a normal cd or somthing out of habbit. Then people who would pay more, because they felt it was worth more than any typical cd. Which type are you.. honestly?
